"Today, it is with great sadness that we ......"

Lin Xiao'an's funeral was held halfway up Longkong Mountain.

Dumbledore stood under a tall oak tree, dressed in a dark black, unadorned wizard's robe, his face haggard and solemn, his voice reading the eulogy clearly.

Lin Xiaoan crossed his hands on his abdomen and lay quietly in a coffin lined with snow-white brocade made of pure gold. The golden coffin was placed on a makeshift platform surrounded by countless white roses.

As usual, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned in a naughty appearance, and it seemed that he would jump up laughing and shouting at his friends in the next second: "Ahahaha~ Surprised?" Not surprised?! ”

……

Tears blurred Harry's eyes. Beside him, Hermione held a bouquet of white chrysanthemums in her arms and couldn't stop crying quietly. Ron covered his face, tears streaming down his fingers.

In addition to Harry and the three of them, all the members of the Order of the Phoenix, except for the traitor Snape (Professor), who escaped during the battle with Harry and Hermione, and the traitor Snape (Professor) who escaped after hearing the news.

The funeral was prepared in a hurry, because it was during the Christmas holiday, and Lin Xiaoan was not dying, the Lin family did not make a big fanfare, and even Elizabeth (Nan Jiayu) did not get the news in time.

……

In the sun-lit clear turquoise waters, just a few inches below the surface, a chorus of merfolk sang in a strange language that most wizards didn't understand, their pale faces fluctuating and their long purple hair floating around them.

In this unmistakable song of grief and despair, Dumbledore waved his wand, and the lid of the golden coffin slowly closed.

The house elves of the Lin family—Fortune and Fortune—carefully lifted the golden coffin, walked in unison, and walked towards a clearing between the oak tree and the lake.

……

A large square pit had already been dug in the clearing, and the bottom and sides of the pit were made of thick granite.

When the house-elves gently lowered the golden coffin into the pit, Dumbledore waved his wand again—

There appeared out of thin air a white marble tomb with an epitaph written on the tombstone in golden floral letters:

Shawn Lin，he is a good man.

(Sean Lim, he's a good guy.) ）

……

Ron's face shrunk into a ball, as if the warm winter sun was too hard to open his eyes.

Hermione had long since stopped crying, and she staggered forward and offered the bouquet of chrysanthemums.

Harry took off his glasses and wiped the tears from the back of his hand - no, I can't continue to bask in sadness! I want to avenge Xiao An! Severus Snape! Voldemort! I'm going to kill them—

"Harry......" Dumbledore patted Harry lightly on the shoulder, looking kindly at his tear-stained face, "Don't be too sad......

Harry's voice was thick with tears, and he was angry and helpless in his heart, and he asked accusatorily, "Professor, why is this happening?" ”

"That's fate...... Dumbledore let out a long sigh and walked slowly around Harry's shoulders, leading Harry to the Lin family mansion on the top of the hill without a trace.

Hermione and Ron were also coerced by the Order of the Phoenix, intentionally or unintentionally, following behind Gay Deng and Harry.

……

Harry and Ron are usually rough characters, and they don't notice anything unusual at all. But after Hermione's mind calmed down a little, she keenly noticed the strangeness in it:

Even if the incident happened suddenly, it was too late to notify all the relatives and friends associated with Lin Xiaoan, but this funeral, Lin Xiaoan's parents - and the very reliable housekeeper Mr. - actually did not attend!

“……”

Hermione thought and thought, but did not express the doubts in her heart, and decided to wait and see.

……

"Yo hahahaha~ Hey, hey, it's amazing for my son!"

The doors of the mansion were open, and the Christmas decorations on the floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides had not even been removed.

Before Dumbledore and his party could enter the door, they heard happy laughter coming from inside the house.

Harry and Hermione and Ron: "......" Although we are really sad now, the basic judgment still exists - this voice is Lin Xiao'an's father, okay?!

Harry jerked his head up at Dumbledore—Gay Deng's eyes were full of smiles, and there was still half a bit of grief in his eyes!

Harry turned to look at Hermione and Ron again...... Hermione looked at Harry and then at Ron...... Ron looked at Hermione and then at Harry......

Just like that, you look at me and I look at you and look at each other for a few seconds, and suddenly, as if a switch was turned on, the three of them rushed into the Lin family's mansion together!

……

Although Mr. Housekeeper, who is very reliable, is over half a hundred years old, he still stands tall. He bowed his head slightly, and looked at the black-haired young man who was sitting on the sofa with a smile, saying something to Lin's father and Lin's mother, dancing with his hands, with a kind and handsome face...... What kind of bizarre description is this that will appear in the mind of a stupid author? ）。

The young man looked to be in his twenties, with short jet-black hair like Lin Xiao'an, black eyes as bright as Lin Xiao'an, ivory-colored yellow skin like Lin Xiao'an, and an ordinary appearance like Lin Xiao'an......

"Lin! Small!! Quiet!!! Harry clenched his fists and his eyes widened with rage.

……

The young man stood up—he was over six feet tall—and smiled at Harry, "Ah—you're Ann's best friend...... Mr. Harry Potter, right? I'm not Lin Xiaoan~"

"Please allow me to introduce myself - I am the adopted son of the Lin family, Xiao An's half-brother, my name is -"

"Forest, Big, Flat."

"......" Harry was silent for a while, and finally couldn't suppress the power of the desolation in his heart, and burst into a foul mouth: "What the hell...... Lin Xiaoan, do you think labor and management don't know about you...... Drunk an age-booster?! ”

"Lin Daping": "Hehehehehe~"
