Chapter 1593: Phoenix Elegy
Noticing that Evan and Harry had stopped, Hagrid urged again impatiently, and he became a little irritable.
Although he stubbornly believed that nothing would happen to Dumbledore, the words of Evan and Harry, as well as the twin snake staff in Evan's hand, all irritated Hagrid's increasingly sensitive nerves all the time.
Dumbledore was dead, and the news took root in his mind, lingering like the sky was falling.
The light in the darkness is gone, and the world will be enveloped in endless sadness and despair.
Aven, Harry, and Hagrid silently walked forward, the oak gates of the castle open in front of them, the lights shining on the driveway and lawn.
Slowly, the crowd in pajamas walked down the stairs in confusion, looking nervously around, looking for the traces left by the Death Eaters who had escaped in the night.
On top of that, there was the terrible news that spread quickly through the crowd.
Silent, but everyone seems to know.
Just now, Evan and Hermione weren't the only ones who saw Dumbledore fall off the Astronomical Tower.
A lot of people came out, sleepy-eyed, awakened by the sound of fighting coming from inside the castle, and had not yet figured out what was happening.
Then, unprepared, I saw the terrible scene.
Under the glittering Dark Mark, Dumbledore fell from the castle's tallest tower......
A lot of people were looking for evidence to corroborate all that, but no one found Dumbledore's body.
It was a delusion, like a dream, the worst nightmare.
But it didn't make everyone feel safe, and gradually, as the members of the Order of the Phoenix joined the search team, uneasiness and panic began to spread.
Strange music sounded somewhere in the darkness and soon resounded throughout Hogwarts.
The phoenix is singing a poignant elegy in a way that wizards have never heard before, just as the phoenix used to hear the song, and the elegy is sounding in everyone's minds, not in reality.
Grief turned into an elegy, echoing in the campus and among the windows of the castle.
Everyone heard it, even the most demented Death Eaters shed tears.
"The songs of the phoenix are magical, and they only grieve when they lose their closest friends. ”
A hoarse voice rang out beside Aven, and he looked back to see a black richer than the night, it was Keresis Slytherin.
He walked over holding Elaine's hand, Keresis's body covered in post-battle marks, his face bleeding, and his elegant robes torn.
"I've never heard an elegy for the phoenix. He said lightly, "The death of only one person at Hogwarts would make Phoenix so sad, and there is no doubt that we have lost one of the greatest wizards of all tonight." ”
With the Phoenix Elegy, it wasn't that hard to accept the fact of Dumbledore's death.
Even if the body was not found in the end, there were so many witnesses who saw Dumbledore fall.
Harry's testimony played a key role, completing what had happened at the observatory and explaining Snape's unusual behavior.
At the same time, the captured Death Eaters eagerly publicized Snape's killing of Dumbledore, for fear that no one would know.
After meeting with Evan and Harry at the school hospital, Professor McGonagall announced the news in public.
Obviously, Dumbledore had made arrangements and ordered this before his death, but except for Evan and Harry, no one knew that Dumbledore was just leaving, and everyone thought that he was really dead.
Because of the terrifying magic of the twin snake staffs, he didn't even leave a corpse behind.
Professor McGonagall took the Elder Wand from Aven's hand, which was the most direct proof of Dumbledore's death.
A wizard will only lose his wand if he is defeated or dead.
No one could have defeated Dumbledore, not even Voldemort, he was just attacked and killed......
Accepting the fact of Dumbledore's death was not as easy as imagined, no matter how many people saw it, after all, Dumbledore's body was not found in the end.
People are more willing to believe that Dumbledore is missing, or that something has left than death, as he usually does.
Even if this kind of thinking does not conform to common sense, there are many people who stubbornly believe in it.
Not only the students, Hagrid, but also the professors at the school and many members of the Order of the Phoenix, such as Sirius Black.
Evan could never forget Sirius' frantic look on Sirius when they said that Dumbledore was dead.
Back in a quarter of an hour ago, in the midst of Phoenix's sad elegy, Aven, Harry, Hermione, and Elaine were taken to the school hospital.
Many people were there, and Ginny sat at Ron's bedside, who had been hit by the explosion during the battle at the Astronomy Tower, but not badly wounded, and Pomfrey thought he would make a full recovery.
In addition to this, Professor Flitwick was knocked unconscious.
The most seriously injured was Mad Eye Moody, who was already very old and was in a hurry to climb the Astronomy Tower when he was hit by three evil spells at the same time.
However, he was still alive, and only three Death Eaters died in the battle, two of whom were hit by the Flying Killing Curse, and the remaining one fell to his death while fleeing.
By the way, there's also the ronin Fenrir Greyback, who was dealt with by Aven, who was probably the worst to die.
Speaking of Greyback, we have to mention Bill.
While heading towards the Gryffindor Tower, Greyback encounters Bill and attacks him.
Fortunately, at that time, Greyback was bent on seeking revenge on Evan and did not bite Bill, so there was no need to worry about him becoming a werewolf.
As soon as Evan and the others entered the hospital room, they were hugged by Sirius.
He hadn't seen him for a few months, and he was much thinner than before, and his hair was messy, a bit like when they first met him three years ago.
There is no reunion and joy after a long absence, and the air is still occupied by sadness.
The conversation quickly shifted to the Phoenix Elegy and Dumbledore's death, and when Evan confirmed the news of Dumbledore's death, Sirius was completely out of control!
"No way!" he shouted, "There's no way he's going to die! no one can kill Dumbledore!"
Just as out of control was Lupin, but he didn't scream, and he sat down in his chair with his face over his hands.
Evan had never seen Lupin like this, and he turned around as if he had seen some unseemly privacy, and he had no way to tell them the truth.
Evan noticed that Harry also lowered his head and silently held Ginny's hand.
The conversation continued after Sirius had vented for a while, but not for long.
When Sirius learned that Snape had killed Dumbledore, he rushed out frantically and desperately, and Tonks hurriedly followed.
The others, though not as violently reacting as Sirius, seemed to have a hard time believing the hard truth.
Dumbledore's death was horrific enough, and Snape's killing of him directly shattered everyone's remaining psychological defenses.
