Anyway, that's the end of Dumbledore's funeral.

With the mermaid's departure, the teachers and students of Hogwarts also left one after another.

Dumbledore was buried forever on an island in the middle of the lake, and in fact, Van Lin had been wondering if Voldemort would follow the instructions to take Dumbledore's wand, but for now, the wand belonged to Malfoy, and after that, the wand would belong to Harry.

However, will Voldemort, who has gained the power of death, lose control of his wand?

At least, there was a time in Greece where the Elder Wand was almost out of Dumbledore's control.

It's a powerful wand, so to speak, but it's not very useful.

Dumbledore was obviously aware of this problem, and it was obviously not too difficult for the Elder Wand to leave Voldemort behind.

Of course, now Dumbledore doesn't need to think about it, in fact, Dumbledore didn't really leave, so many things still need to be done by himself, and this candidate is naturally Rutherford, the old bat who wants to bring Dumbledore's body to the extreme.

But in fact, there are still a lot of troubles, the clearest one is Dumbledore, and because of his departure, many things can't be carried out, such as having to be arranged in the future, which makes Harry confused, and then instantly becomes sober, at least Harry is like this for now.

Harry turned his head to look at Ginny, then at his three friends, Ron's face distorted by the direct sunlight, Hermione's face glistening with tears, Van Lin with her head down, and Ginny not continuing to weep.

She responded to Harry's gaze, her gaze determined and fiery.

Harry had seen that look at him when Ginny came to hug him after the Quardic match Harry was missing, and they had a heartfelt chill at that moment. Harry knew that when he told Ginny about his decision, she would definitely accept his decision without saying anything "be careful" or "don't do it" because they were expecting the same thing.

Harry took a deep breath, he made up his mind to say what he had wanted to say since Dumbledore's death, and although it made his whole body tremble, Harry had to do it.

Harry's unusual movement also managed to attract the attention of several people in Van Lin.

"Hey, Ginny, listen......" Harry said calmly, as people stood up and the buzz grew louder, "I can't bother you anymore. We have to stop seeing each other. We...... We can't be together anymore. ”

"What?" Hermione looked shocked, "You're crazy......"

"Let Harry finish, Hermione!" Van Lin said, and Harry gave him a grateful look before turning his gaze to Ginny.

Harry hesitated, in fact, he had thought about this for a long time and had mustered up the courage, but in fact, as soon as he said it, Harry couldn't help but start to regret it.

Isn't it too irresponsible?

Will Ginny ......

Ginny, however, didn't react too aggressively, and said with a strange twisted smile, "You must have your noble but stupid reasons, don't you?"

Truth be told, the reaction was even more terrifying, so much so that Harry stuttered a little.

"I, I mean...... It's like...... It's like something shouldn't belong in someone's life, and these weeks with you......" Harry stopped talking, "but I can't...... We can't...... I have to do these things alone now. ”

Ginny looked at him blankly, she didn't cry, she just looked at him.

"Voldemort can almost take advantage of his enemies. He used to use you as bait, and that's simply because you're my best friend's sister. If we continue to be together, you will be even more dangerous. He'll know, he'll learn. He'll try to find me through you. Harry said hurriedly, he wanted to say I didn't love you, but......

This only seems to make things worse.

"What if I don't care?" said Ginny cruelly.

"But I care," said Harry, "how do you think I would feel if I were at your funeral today...... That would be the ...... I caused."

Ginny turned away from him and looked away at the lake.

"I never gave up on you," she said, "and didn't really give up." I hope...... Hermione told me to live well, try to date somebody else, relax a little bit in front of you, I never spoke when you were around, remember? She said if I behaved a little bit more myself, maybe you'd notice me. ”

"Clever girl, that Hermione ......," Harry said, squeezing out a small smile, "I wish we had started sooner, so we might have been together for a long time...... Months...... Maybe years......"

"But you're busy saving the world," Ginny laughed, "uh...... Actually, I'm not surprised, I knew it would end like this. I know that only when you turn out that Voldemort will you be truly happy. Maybe that's why I like you so much. ”

Harry's heart ached with these words, and he even felt that if he sat next to her again, he and she would not be able to break off.

He saw Van Lin hugging Hermione, stroking her hair, and she was crying on his shoulder, tears running down his long nose.

And Ron's complicated face, maybe because of his sister, or maybe because of himself?

It's hard to describe Ron's mood.

Suddenly, Ron turned his head, and there seemed to be someone looking at him, a gaze that felt familiar to him and had been with him all year.

Harry stood up in pain, turned his back to Ginny and Dumbledore's graves, and walked down the lake......

Harry stood up in pain, turned his back to Ginny and Dumbledore's graves, and walked down the lake...... It's a little more bearable to get up and walk around than to keep sitting there: it's like finding the Horcrux as quickly as possible and then killing Voldemort is much better than waiting.

Although, it is very likely that it will end in failure, it is Voldemort, Harry's countless testimonies, about Voldemort's past, Voldemort's present, even his future, how powerful he is, everything about him.

Can he really kill Voldemort?

Even if you find the remaining two Horcruxes and destroy them, but what about after that?

Will Voldemort be weakened to the point where even he can easily defeat him?

It's like Dumbledore, disarmed by Malfoy, so much so that Dumbledore is connected in front of Snape

"Harry!" he suddenly heard someone call him, Harry turned his head, and Scrimgeour was walking along the shore of the lake, crutches, limping towards Harry.

"I want to talk to you...... Do you mind if I walk with you?"

"Don't mind. Harry said with difficulty, although Harry wanted to refuse, but after Dumbledore's death, it seemed that only Scrimgeour could support him with great fanfare.

Harry had no choice but to keep walking.

"Harry, this is a terrible tragedy," Scrimgeour said quietly, "and I can't describe how shocked I was when I heard about it. Dumbledore was a very great wizard. You know, although we disagree, no one knows better than me what the name Dumbledore means, or the weight of the name in general, but whether it's you or me, or your friends,......"

"So...... What do you want to do?" Harry asked coldly.

Harry was upset by Scrimgeour's words.

At Dumbledore's funeral, he said that although he disagreed with Dumbledore, he clearly knew Dumbledore's importance.

What's the difference between that and being sarcastic?

Because Dumbledore was wrong, so he ended up like this?

It was hard for Harry not to think about Scrimgeour in other ways. Especially since they were right next to Dumbledore's mausoleum.

Scrimgeour began to look a little annoyed, and Harry's attitude angered him, in his opinion, Dumbledore's people really had some problems, so to speak, and they didn't know how to lift.

However, as the Minister of Magic, naturally, Scrimgeour had his own way of thinking and had no superfluous thoughts, and Scrimgeour immediately changed to a sad, sympathetic expression.

"Of course, you're at a loss right now," Scrimgeour said bitterly, "and I know you're very close to Dumbledore. I think you're probably his favorite student. The relationship between the two of you is ...... to you."

"So, what do you want to do?" Harry interrupted him, asking again. He had heard too many unnutritious compliments, as had been the case with Cornelius Fudge in the past, and Umbridge had been like that since everyone who came to Hogwarts.

Scrimgeour stopped, he was on crutches, staring at Harry, his expression was very unnatural now, and then, immediately, Scrimgeour calmed down again, and now he was different from Connelly.

"What I want to know is some of the words you and Dumbledore had said on the night he left school and then he died. ”

"Who said that?" Harry asked, not wanting to say it.

"Someone knocked a Death Eater unconscious on the tower after Dumbledore died. There are also two brooms there. We can connect two things, Harry. ”

"I'm glad to hear that, at least, you have an eye for discovery, especially in the aftermath. Harry said.

"You're challenging ......"

"I'm just telling what I see, the people of the Ministry of Magic, the minister, it's not like they can't tell, are they. ”

"So......" Scrimgeour took a deep breath, "to ...... with me"

"Oh well, I do be with Dumbledore and do what I have to do, it's my responsibility. And he doesn't want others to know. Harry said coldly, even though Scrimgeour had seen it a long time ago, but Harry didn't want to reveal a word.

"Such loyalty is admirable, of course," Scrimgeour said, as he seemed struggling to control his emotions, "but Dumbledore is dead, Harry, he's dead." ”

"He'll only leave when no one at the school is so loyal to him anymore," Harry said, amused at how he deliberately made things difficult for Scrimgeour, the Minister of Magic, and in Harry's eyes, it didn't seem to make any difference.

"My dear boy...... In fact, there's no way Dumbledore could have come back from there......"

"I never said he could, but you wouldn't understand, and I don't have anything to say to you. ”

Scrimgeour hesitated for a moment, then said in a very obvious, concerned tone, "The Ministry of Magic can give you all kinds of protection, you know, Harry. I can put some Aurors at your command......"

Suddenly, Harry smiled.

"Voldemort wants to kill me himself, Minister, but it doesn't seem like the Aurors can stop him right now. So much appreciated for this help, but not needed. ”

"So," Scrimgeour's voice grew cold, "my request to you for Christmas......"

"What request? Oh, yes...... Just for me to tell the world what a great job you're doing, in exchange for this......"

"Get people back on their feet!" Scrimgeour interrupted abruptly. "It's important, Harry, especially at such a critical time, knowing that we've just lost a ......"

Harry paused, Scrimgeour was right, so Harry thought about his words for a moment.

"Release Stan Sampak immediately?"

Scrimgeour's face turned an ugly purple, reminding him of Uncle Fenon, the Dursleys, funny Muggles!

"I don't think you know ......"

"It's Dumbledore's, always!" Harry said at once, "and that was meant from the beginning, wasn't it." ”

"Yes. Scrimgeour was loud, and then he stood there.

Scrimgeour glared at him for a moment, then limped away without saying a word.

Harry saw Percy and the Minister's delegation waiting for Scrimgeour and was keenly aware that they were looking uneasily at Hagrid and Glopp, who were still sobbing in their seats, which was really ......

Verling, Hermione, and Ron walked past Scrimgeour as they walked in the opposite direction, hurrying to catch up with Harry, who turned around and slowed down until they came up.

Then they sat in the shade of a beech tree, where they used to have a happy time.

"What does Scrimgeour want to do?" Hermione whispered.

"Just like he thought at Christmas," Harry said with a shrug, "he wants me to reveal to him about my relationship with Dumbledore, and then be the new promoter for the Minister of Magic." ”

"Oh, poor Percy," said Vanlin, "but it's not a wise choice, and perhaps we can talk to Scrimgeur. ”

"No," she said, grasping Vanlin's arm, firmly. "It's unreliable, but it makes me feel better!"

Suddenly, Harry smiled. Even Hermione grinned, but her smile faded as she looked at the castle.

"I can't stand the fact that we'll never come back," she said softly, "how can Hogwarts be closed?"

"Maybe it won't be off," Ron said after a moment of deep thought, "it's no more dangerous for us to stay here than it is for us to stay at home, is it? I would even say that Hogwarts is safer, and there are more wizards here protecting the place. ”

"So, what do you think, Harry?" asked Van Lin.

"I thought, even if it doesn't close, I won't come again. Harry said frankly.

Ron looked at him dumbfounded, while Hermione said sadly, "I knew you'd say that, but what are you going to do after that?"

"I'll go back to Dursley's house, because Dumbledore wants me to," Harry said, "but it's going to be a short stay, and I'll be gone forever." ”
