Chapter 3: Harry Potter's Funeral

In the deep and quiet night, in the empty and dark cemetery, the cold moonlight reflects the tombstones. In front of a tombstone www.biquge.info the Pen & Fun & Pavilion, a tall man wearing a very old cloak stood quietly, staring intently at a small black ant on the stone tablet. He waited for a long time, and finally raised his wand, and the grave was split from head to toe, and the coffin was made of fine wood, and after more than ten years, he raised his wand again.

The wooden coffin cracked once, and a wisp of ashes flew out and into the transparent vial.

With a flick of the backhand, everything returned to its original state.

Walking slowly away from the cemetery, it was full of people standing outside, and the Ministry of Magic hurriedly set up the field. Today is Harry's funeral, and most of Hogwarts will be in attendance except for Slytherin House and parents, as well as mourners from all over the country.

The officials of the Ministry of Magic were all dispatched, and they stood guard, because it was temporary, and secrecy was an issue. I can only rush to work temporarily, and the staff of the memory cancellation office are on standby at any time.

As Phoenix approached, the wizards intensified their Muggle expulsion charms under the light of the fire. It's hilarious, I don't know what a Muggle in a town would think of and leave in a hurry.

He didn't greet anyone, no one noticed him, and every busy official didn't have the heart to talk to anyone.

Walk to the tavern where you stayed when you buried your parents.

It was in an awkward position, and it was emptied by the wizards. There was no one inside, and Phoenix sat down at the bar, and it was pitch black on Monday, because the magic magnetic field around him was so strong that all the electronics went on strike.

Darkened his arms around Hermione and kissed her on the cheek.

"Don't make a fuss. She said in a daze.

"Don't sleep," Phoenix's hand began to wander to the other parts, "You can sleep with me againβ€”"

"You're a person," she jumped up, "you don't like to be disturbed when you sleep, and you don't mind when others sleep." ”

"Double standards. Phoenix said with a grin.

"What for?" said Hermione, sitting down.

"I'm going to sleep, don't forget to call me thenβ€”" He didn't finish his sentence, bending over Hermione's attack, "joking." ”

They quarreled for a while, and Hermione pulled him outside for a walk.

"Don't frown. Phoenix said.

It's been a few days since the battle at Hogwarts, and Hermione is like many parents and students who have lost loved ones. The victory of the war can comfort their hearts, but it cannot erase the deep sorrow.

"I'm fine. ”

He didn't plan to say more, it would be fine after a long time.

Hermione took Phoenix's arm and rested her head on his shoulder. Walk out of the cemetery. Hermione whispered, "Go this way," and dragged him down a dark street. It leads to the outside of the village, the opposite of the way they came in. Phoenix could see places where houses disappeared and small streets turned into wilderness. From time to time, a wizard who arrived passed them - the Ministry of Magic divided several areas, and as in the Quidditch World Cup, everyone gathered in Godric's Valley in different ways and places for the funeral.

She tugged at his arm, but Phoenix didn't pay attention. He was looking at a dark shadow at the end of the row of houses, thinking about next year's international summit. Then he quickened his pace and dragged Hermione over, where she skated on the ice.

"Phoenixβ€”"

"I'm sorry, Hermioneβ€”"

"Here we are. Hermione pointed ahead.

The place where Hermione took him was Jaime and Lily's home.

The Loyalty Curse expires with the deaths of Jaime and Lily. In the sixteen years since Hagrid took Harry from the rubble, the hedges had grown in a mess, and the rubble was buried waist-deep in the grass. Most of the house was still there, completely covered in dark ivy and snow, but the right side of the top room had been blown up, and Phoenix thought that must be where the spell bounced back. He and Hermione stood in the doorway looking at the ruin, which must have been the same as the houses on either side.

"Why hasn't anyone rebuilt it?" Hermione whispered.

"Maybe it can't be rebuilt. Phoenix replied.

A wooden sign rose from the ground in front of them, emerging from a jumble of nettles and weeds, like some bizarre, rapidly growing flower. The gold letters on the sign read:

October 31, 1981

Lily and James Potter died here

Their son, Harry, was the only one

A wizard who survived the killing curse.

This Muggle invisible house was left as it was,

In memory of the Potters in this ruin,

and warn of the violence that has led to the destruction of their families.

Next to these neat handwritings, there are various inscriptions, written by the sorcerer who came to pay homage to the place where the "boy who survived the great disaster" escaped death. Some just wrote their names in ink that never faded, some carved their initials on wooden plaques, and some wrote messages. The most recent ones sparkle on sixteen years of magical graffiti, and the content is about the same.

Good luck, Harry, wherever you are.

Hope you read, Harry, we've got your back!

Long live Harry Potter.

"Maybe in many years, it will become a tourist attraction. For people to visit," Hermione said sadly, "people, always forgetful. ”

But Phoenix smiled cheerfully at him.

"Yes, but there are always righteous people. ”

They stayed in front of the ruins for a long time before leaving.

The funeral specifications were no less than those of Professor Dumbledore. The Ministry of Magic soon posthumously awarded the Order of Merlin to Sir Harry Potter Merlin, and other combatants were awarded or posthumously awarded the Order of Valian, including the American wizard Cole Phillip posthumously awarded the Defender Medal of Honor by the Wizarding Congress of the United States, and the British Ministry of Magic posthumously awarded him the Order of Merlin of the First Class.

Foreign personnel such as Fleur and Krum have also been honored by European institutions in many countries and praised by the world.

At the beginning of the funeral, a cold wind blew from the cemetery, like Harry's Heroic Spirit, welcoming them.

Sitting in the first row are all big shots, with one exception. That was Penny Dursley, Harry's aunt, who was invited by the Ministry of Magic to attend and receive the Order of Merlin. She wasn't the only one attending as a relative of Harry, there was also a man named Teddy Potter who claimed to be Harry's cousin.

His purpose was not to attend funerals or collect medals on his behalf, but to inherit Potter's ancestral property. At the moment, Gringotts was confirming his identity, but because he could not confirm his identity yet, he was thrown in the back row.

"--In 1997, a great wizard left us forever-" Phoenix read the eulogy as he stood in front of Harry's body.

Finally, Phoenix took the Merlin medal and ribbon and handed it to Penny, who had a numb expression. Her eyes were blank, as if she were staring at her sister's tombstone.

Several black-robed wizards put the wooden coffin into the pit that had been dug long ago and backfilled it with dirt.

Phoenix carved an epitaph on his tombstone: Born in Peril, Died in Glory.

Back in his place, he was seated on the left-hand side like the Hogwarts students, but only he and Professor Slughorn were represented by Slytherin.

Next to it were the Gryffindor students, all of whom were in full capacity. Phoenix turned his head to look, and instead of crying, Hermione comforted Ginny.

At this time, the surrounding voices became louder and louder, and people stood up one after another, some of them left directly, some of them stepped forward to thank them, and some of them laid wreaths.

"It's a pity, he's a good seedling. Professor Slughorn said sadly.

"Yes, a true Gryffindor. "He was able to rest quietly next to his parents, something he had never experienced before." ”

Then a cold wind blew, as if to let them go.
