Chapter 1598: Dumbledore's Funeral
Evan wasn't sure if the creature in the picture was the dastardly Helbo or some other monster, but from the above, there was no doubt that some dark wizard in southern Europe around the Mediterranean must have worshipped some evil god madly thousands of years ago.
At that time, it was the most prosperous area of magical civilization, and those powerful wizards built temples for the evil gods.
What Voldemort, Death Eaters, and Ravenclaw were looking for in the ruins of that era is unknown, but it must have something to do with the evil gods.
That's not good news.
In order to gain more power, Voldemort must have planned to move closer to the direction related to the evil god.
Evan didn't want to make things so troublesome, if only he could destroy the remaining three Horcruxes and defeat Voldemort as soon as possible!
Gold Cup, Harry Potter, and the Statue of the Evil God, each seems to be more difficult than the other......
After Dumbledore's funeral, let's go and get rid of the gold cup first, and find the Hufflepuff Treasure Key by the way.
....................................................................................................................................................................
For the next two days, all Hogwarts classes were suspended and all exams were postponed.
Many of the students were hastily picked up from Hogwarts by their parents, the morning after Dumbledore's death, the Parvati twins left without breakfast, Zacharith Smith left the castle with his swaggering father, Seamus Finigan flatly refused to go home with his mother, and they quarreled in the foyer, until his mother agreed to let him stay for the funeral.
Seamus later told them that his mother had a hard time finding a bed in Hogsmeade.
For so many wizards, men and women, had flocked to the village to say their final goodbyes to Dumbledore.
Many people left, but more poured in, and the news of Dumbledore's death caused an uproar throughout the wizarding world.
The impact is like dropping a giant bomb on a calm lake......
Whether you agree with Dumbledore's ideas or not, there is no doubt that Dumbledore is the greatest wizard of our time.
Even though the British wizarding world is in a special period now, many wizards still came to Hogwarts spontaneously to attend this funeral, including many foreign wizards.
Not just wizards from Europe, but also from the Americas, the Middle East, Africa, and East Asia.
If it weren't for the fear of Voldemort and the rush of time, there would have been more wizards coming.
If these people are high-status wizards or friends of Dumbledore's former life, they will be arranged to live in Hogwarts Castle, and the rest of the wizards who come spontaneously will gather in Hogsmeade, making the already very deserted Hogwarts the most lively wizarding gathering area in the United Kingdom.
In the evening of the day before the funeral, a powder-blue carriage the size of a house was pulled by a dozen huge, winged silver-maned horses, flew from the sky and landed on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. The younger students were excited, they had never seen anything like this before.
A tall, imposing woman with black hair and yellow skin stepped out of the carriage and threw her head into Hagrid's arms, who were waiting there.
At the same time, a girl in Beauxbatons' sky-blue school uniform also pounced on Aven's arms.
It's Gabrielle Delacour!
Gabrielle came with Madame Maxime, who was to stay in England this summer to attend the wedding of her sister Fleur and Bill.
In this battle, Bill was badly injured at the hands of Fenrir Greyback, but fortunately he was not bitten by a werewolf.
Fleur has been taking care of him these days, which is very hard, but it is also very touching.
In order not to leave regrets, both of them were determined to get the marriage done as soon as possible, and their attitudes were so resolute that even Mrs. Weasley, who had never been in favor of the marriage, could not say anything this time, and it could be seen that with the beginning of the war, she was also afraid that she would lose her son like this one day......
At the same time, vampires from all the Slytherin clans also came to Hogwarts, and there were hundreds of them.
They were all dressed in black robes, and they looked cold.
With so many vampires appearing in one place at the same time, everyone is very curious.
Professor McGonagall set aside an area in the castle for them to live in, and warned the students not to approach it.
It was clear that she didn't trust vampires much.
Shortly after the arrival of the vampires and Madame Maxim, a delegation from the Ministry of Magic, including the Minister himself, was also arranged to stay in the castle.
Among them were a number of high-ranking figures, including high-ranking officials from the Ministry of Magic, the Wizengamot, and the International Federation of Wizards, as well as representatives of foreign ministries of magic.
It was said that even the goblins of Gringotts sent someone to attend Dumbledore's funeral, but until the end, Evan didn't see them.
But Dobby, the house-elf, and the other house-elves in the kitchen have been crying these days, saddened by Dumbledore's departure.
Not wanting to be questioned, Evan and Harry were now at pains to avoid meeting with anyone among them.
The current situation is still under the control of the Ministry of Magic.
The trial of the Death Eaters who broke into Hogwarts that night was in full swing and took up most of the newspapers.
For the remainder, Snape was covered.
The Aurors of the Ministry of Magic searched for Snape everywhere, and of course they didn't make much progress, just as they hadn't even found Voldemort's shadow in the past year.
Everyone with an IQ online knows that the current calm is only superficial, and in private the situation has begun to spiral out of control.
After Dumbledore's death, it was not only the wizards who mourned him who poured into the country, but also many evildoers.
When Dumbledore was alive, they were afraid to come to England for fear of his intimidation, but now that the country was about to become a paradise of darkness, it was natural to attract these fellows, who came here to join Voldemort, join his army, or have other evil intentions.
In such an atmosphere, Dumbledore's funeral arrived as scheduled.
On that day, every student who had not yet left Hogwarts got up early to pack up their salutes.
When Evan came downstairs, he found that the atmosphere in the auditorium was very oppressive.
Everyone was dressed in tuxedos and robes, and no one seemed to have much of an appetite.
Professor McGonagall left the throne-like seat in the middle of the faculty table empty, and Hagrid's chair was unattended.
He may not have been in the mood for breakfast, but Rufus Scrimgeour sat in Snape's seat, and he looked very eye-catching.
His yellow eyes scanned the Great Hall, and Aven glanced at him before quickly moving somewhere else.
The rest of the wizards and entourage who had been invited to the funeral were arranged at the end of the four house tables, and at the end of the Gryffindor table Evan saw the red-haired, horn-rimmed Percy Weasley, who was very low-key, and did not mean to greet his family not far away.
