Chapter 1601: A New Chapter
As the flames vanished, countless arrows dodged into the air like showers, causing several screams, but they fell far from the crowd. Evan knew it was the horses mourning. He saw them turn around and disappear into the shade of the trees. The fish-men also slowly sank to the green bottom, never to be seen again.
Dumbledore's funeral is over, and a new chapter begins!
"We're going to start a war!" Evan stood up and whispered.
At this moment, a loud wail rang out in the clearing, and Hagrid finally couldn't hold back his tears, his voice echoing across the lake.
Glopp hugged him as well, burying his head and crying.
The crowd walked around the two of them and back, and Aven's eyes followed the crowd to Hogwarts Castle, trying to keep it in mind.
Then, he looked down to see that Harry had taken Ginny in his arms and was whispering to her.
He knew Harry was saying goodbye to Ginny.
In the past few days, the two of them have discussed it separately, and they both decided to complete the rest alone, leaving Hogwarts, going to fight Voldemort and the Death Eaters, destroying the remaining Horcruxes and finding the secret treasure keys of Slytherin and Hufflepuff, which is Harry's fate and Aven's mission.
To put it mildly, to save the wizarding world!
While Evan didn't feel that he was so noble, he did do it without fail.
He and Harry had to do it, but there was no need for the others to take risks, even if they didn't care.
Evan thought about it, due to the intervention of evil gods and ancient wizards, the current situation and became very dangerous, and he didn't want Hermione, Elaine and others to follow the adventure.
Hogwarts is going to close, or worse, to be taken over by Voldemort.
But they could stay at the Order of the Phoenix headquarters, Sirius, Lupin, and Karesis were still there, and they would protect them while Evan was away.
Alternatively, they could go back to Beauxbatons with Gabrielle, and Voldemort's power would not seriously affect the functioning of the French wizarding world in the short term.
Not really, Evan also considered letting Hermione leave the UK with her parents.
He felt that after returning from this summer vacation, he would personally cast a spell on his parents, and the people of the Order of the Phoenix would send them out.
When the time comes, Hermione and her parents can go along.
Aven's father has also expanded his real estate business in China in recent years, and they can go there, an area out of Voldemort's and Death Eaters' reach.
There are two mysterious schools of witchcraft and wizardry in China, one of which is older than Hogwarts, and there are many magic books that cannot be seen here, and Hermione will definitely be interested.
Evan remembered that a few years ago, Dumbledore had promised to help him get an exchange spot, but he didn't know if it worked out.
Beside Harry, Ron seemed a little dazed and didn't get up from his chair.
He stared at the white tomb that suddenly appeared, his face shrunk into a ball, as if the sun was piercing him from opening his eyes......
Gabrielle's face was covered with sparkling tears, but Hermione stopped crying, she met Aven's gaze with a resolute and enthusiastic expression.
"Hermione, there's something I want to tell you......" Responding to Hermione's gaze, Evan said in a very soft voice, "I've discussed with Harry, the next adventure must be completed by the two of us, you and Elaine ......"
"Of course we will follow you, no matter what the danger. Hermione paused and asked rhetorically, "Aven, you don't want to leave me, do you? Do you think that Voldemort will let us go if we announce that you have nothing to do with Harry? ”
"But ......"
"No matter what happens, I'll be there for you. Hermione said firmly, suddenly hugging Evan hard.
Aven's body tensed up and relaxed, and he sighed softly and hugged Hermione for a moment.
After a long silence, Hermione lay on top of Evan and whispered in his ear, "Don't leave me, Evan I'll go with you, I've already thought about it!"
"Hmm. Evan snorted, knowing that it was unlikely that Hermione would be left alone.
Before, he only thought of the danger, in order to protect the safety of Hermione and the others, but did not consider their feelings.
Hermione wasn't just someone who needed protection, either, she could be a great help.
"Aven, Harry!"
Evan let go of Hermione and turned to see Rufus Scrimgeour limping around the shore of the lake with his crutches.
"Aven, Harry, you two are here, I've always wanted to talk to you. Speaking of which, this incident was a terrible tragedy, and I was shocked beyond words to hear the news. Alas, Dumbledore was a very remarkable wizard. We have some differences, you know, but no one knows him as well as I do......"
"What do you want?" Harry asked directly, interrupting Scrimgeour impatiently.
Scrimgeour seemed annoyed, but as before, he quickly adjusted his facial expression to sadness and understanding.
"I understand, Harry, you must be in a lot of pain right now. He said, "I know you're very close to Dumbledore, and I think you're probably his favorite student in life, and you two have such a ...... relationship."
"What do you want?" Harry asked impatiently.
Scrimgeour listened, his body leaning against his cane, his eyes fixed on Harry, his expression stern.
But soon, he regained his sad expression and turned his gaze to Aven.
"I have something I want to say to the two of you alone, come and walk with me, you two don't object, right?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Minister, but Sirius has already relayed to you everything we can tell the Ministry. "If, like that conversation at Christmas, you want us to publicly show our support for the work of the Ministry of Magic, and tell people that you're doing a good job and that the wizarding world is safe now, there's no way we're going to cooperate." In fact, the wizarding world is not safe now, we can't control the situation anymore, and the war has begun to ......"
"I don't deny the war, but the situation is not as bad as you think, we will win, you ......"
"We're Dumbledore's people through and through, all the time. Harry interjected, interrupting Scrimgeour again, "That's what we're going to tell you. ”
Scrimgeour stared fiercely at Evan and Harry for a long time, a stern expression on his face.
Then, Sirius walked this way too. Seeing him, Scrimgeour turned around without saying a word and limped away.
Not far away, Percy and the rest of the Ministry of Magic delegation were waiting for him, and they also looked worriedly at Hagrid and Glopp, who were still sitting there crying......
