Chapter 2014: The Taste of the Funeral
"Ding...... Bite...... Bite...... Ding......"
With a pair of small hammers and iron chisels, Ron was facing a rock with his hands and hands dropping, and with each blow a piece of stone was gently knocked off.
Seriously, in order to help Hermione make a large number of rune stone tablets, he had to practice a good stonemason skill. But no matter what, he never imagined that his inexplicable craft would now end up being used to make tombstones for Percy.
However, at this point, all he can do for Percy may be limited to this little thing!
On Ron's side, a rectangular pit had been dug up, and Percy had been placed in a crimson coffin, parked on the other side of the pit.
The deceased were the greatest, and all of them, including Mr. Blois, stood solemnly in front of the grave, silently waiting for Ron to make the tombstone with his own hands.
At this moment, there is no one who is impatient.
Percy ...... If this world is really like Delphi said, there is a pure white space that gathers the spiritual sources of all living beings, then you must remember that Professor Dumbledore may be over there. Don't panic or get confused when you go there, just follow the professor! He'll be sure to take you in the right direction—"
Perhaps for a moment, Hermione suddenly remembered that she had almost lost her life at the hands of a living corpse. She vaguely remembered that it seemed that it was indeed Dumbledore who suddenly appeared and saved her from all odd dangers.
Awakened by the words that Delphi had said earlier, her memories seemed to become clearer and more vivid, and even seemed to remember more images.
She vaguely remembered that Dumbledore seemed to appear in a dazzling white light. When the figures were one after another, neither human nor soul, nor ghost, but with infinite power in their hands, they turned all the living corpses in the vicinity back to normal corpses in the blink of an eye.
Yes, maybe...... What Delphi said was all true! There really is another space, another world, a world that she doesn't really understand yet. The other side of the spiritual will of all living beings is there to merge into one and not separate from each other, reflecting the earth at birth and returning to nothingness when they die.
Of course, there are occasionally one or two out of place, like Tom Riddle...... Another example, Dumbledore and the Witch Kern.
However, due to her limited knowledge, Hermione obviously couldn't think that deeply. At this moment, she only vaguely understood, as if she understood something, but in fact, she didn't think of anything.
All right! At least with Hermione's intelligence, she finally understood something.
"yes!" Harry didn't understand anything, but he followed, "Professor Dumbledore is over there!" And where he is, it must be heaven...... Well, I mean, if there really is a 'heaven' in this world! ”
"Ding!"
Suddenly, Ron dropped another hammer, gouging the last bit of the edge of the tombstone, and he lowered the hammer.
"Alright."
Before he could finish speaking, he waved his wand, used a levitation charm to float the tombstone, and then gradually sank the small half into the dirt behind the grave.
It can be seen that probably because he used too much effort to carve the tombstone inscription just now, his hand holding the wand was trembling slightly. But even so, his levitation spell was still in place, and the tombstone landed unbiased in its rightful place.
Let's not compare with others, at least his spell casting level is already real, which shows how much energy he usually expends to practice.
"Ginny, take another look, and ...... Let Percien's heart be buried! Seeing this, Hermione said softly.
"Hmm."
After a moment of silence, Ginny, who had not spoken, finally nodded. Then she walked slowly to the coffin, looking at Percy's pale face under the half-open lid...... I don't know when my eyes were filled with crystal tears after all.
Percy ...... Surely you've seen it too...... We've got our home back! Soon...... It's really going to be soon...... Mom and Dad will be back soon, along with Bill, Charlie, Fred, George, ...... They'll all be back. In the future, we will be able to live together forever—"
"Yes, live together forever!" Harry also stood behind Ginny, looked at Percy's slightly closed eyes and said, "Ginny and I have already agreed that even if we get married in the future, we will still have a home near this neighborhood - anyway, you know, I don't have a home in the first place." ”
After saying a few words, Ginny, who had been holding on strongly, finally couldn't help but whimper and cry, and the tears quickly wet the placket of her clothes and fell on the withered yellow blades of grass at her feet.
"That's what it is...... Is life and death parting? It seems to be a different feeling from Phillips's funeral. ”
Sarah looked silently ahead, suddenly raised her hand and touched it on her chest. She seemed to feel an unknown tingling in the depths of her heart.
It was perhaps another feeling she had never been exposed to before.
But not far from her, Delphi, who was standing there with her staff, just watched it calmly, as if she had become accustomed to many things.
"Let's bury it!"
In the next moment, Ginny pursed her lips and said so.
"Okay."
Harry nodded, then turned to look at Ron again, and then the two of them closed the lid and lifted the thick rope under the coffin, and sank Percy's coffin to the bottom of the pit with their own hands.
And at this moment, Ron, who had just pulled out the rope, suddenly turned his head and looked at the back of everyone:
"Mr. Blois, you are the oldest person here, and our elder...... May I ask you to say a few eulogies for Percy before covering the earth? ”
Hearing this, Sarah on the side couldn't help but raise her eyebrows secretly, and Blois herself couldn't help but feel a surprise in her heart.
Ron's proposal surprised everyone, especially one of the parties.
"Me? Is it appropriate? Blois was still the calm Blois, and after a moment's pause, he asked with some doubts.
"Of course," Ron said, "you're a senior that Maca trusts very much, and you've helped us a lot since this disaster broke out, without expecting anything in return. This kindness deserves the respect of all of us...... I'm sure Percy thinks so at all! ”
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but glance down at the grave again, and then stretched out his hand and invited:
"Mr. Blois, don't excuse yourself, please!"
It can be said that Ron's words did show a maturity that he had never seen before, and he would not have been able to say it before.
It's just that I don't know what kind of feeling Blois has in his heart at the moment?
