"There are still a few months left, and when the time comes, George will be able to kill Voldemort. Harry affirmed, "When the time comes, everything will be fine." ”
"It's still a few months," Ron said, with emotion, "and it's going to be tough." ”
The last few months were not difficult.
Everyone is busy, and it's fast to April.
In mid-April, on a Saturday morning, the school welcomed an unexpected guest.
In the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts.
George took out a crystal mug from the cabinet next to the wall and made a cup of coffee for the guest.
He placed the coffee on his desk and pushed it in front of the guest sitting across from the desk.
He greeted him flatly, "Lupin, you don't seem to be in good shape, and things are not going well in the Order of the Phoenix?"
The guest who visited was none other than Lupin, the liaison of the Order of the Phoenix.
He had more gray hair than he had last seen him, and his expression was getting haggard and tired.
Lupin took the cup and took a sip of his coffee with a wry smile on his face, "There is no Order of the Phoenix anymore." ”
He sighed, "The Order of the Phoenix is over. ”
George sat back in his chair and asked, slightly surprised, "Dumbledore has finally decided to rest?"
The Order of the Phoenix was formed by Dumbledore to fight against Lord Voldemort.
George has always been unoptimistic about the move of the Order of the Phoenix. After the wizard's power reached a certain stage, others were no longer qualified to fight against strong people like him and Voldemort.
However, he did not try to convince Dumbledore, a stubborn old man in his hundreds, who was simply impossible to convince.
And now, when Voldemort is not dead, the Order of the Phoenix will be dissolved, which is a little surprising to him.
Lupin was silent for a moment, "There's no Dumbledore anymore. ”
George was stunned for a moment, Dumbledore was so dead.
Then, he reacted and said to himself, "Dumbledore is old, he wants to die early in the morning." After fighting Voldemort last year, he never recovered from his injuries, and his days were running out. ”
For Dumbledore's death, George had been mentally prepared for it, and Dumbledore wanted to die early on. But he had expected that Dumbledore would at least wait until he killed Voldemort before he died.
Unexpectedly, life and death depended on fate, Dumbledore was dying of old age after all, and he was injured, but he couldn't survive to the end after all.
"That's fine," said George calmly, "after the Order of the Phoenix is dissolved, you can also be quiet and rest for a while." ”
"I think there's a lot of work for you, whether it's the Ministry of Magic or Diagon Alley," he suggested. ”
Lupin nodded silently, Dumbledore's death made the people of the Order of the Phoenix lose their backbone and purpose.
At this time, the only thing they could think of was George, and he naturally would not object to George's arrangement.
George continued, "Is there anything I need to do to prepare for Dumbledore's funeral? ”
He added, "Although I don't have any experience in this area, there are enough people in the school, and Dumbledore has been the headmaster of Hogwarts for many years, and the school will not ignore it." ”
"Thank you!" Lupin said gratefully.
He shook his head slightly, "There is no funeral, this is Dumbledore's last wish. He didn't want to disturb anyone, and he didn't want anyone to disturb him, so he asked me to bury him and his family together. ”
George nodded, "That's fine, I know, he's been longing for this day for a long time." Death was a relief for him. ”
Lupin said with relief, "Two weeks ago, Dumbledore's injuries started to deteriorate. We wanted to inform you, but Dumbledore was reluctant. ”
Lupin recalls the scene when Dumbledore was lying in his hospital bed, repenting for what he had done.
"He was guilty, he was already a little delirious in his last moments. He kept talking to himself, blaming himself for watching things happen and not stopping anything. ”
For the last part of his life, Dumbledore was stuck in memories of self-reproach. For his sister's business, for Voldemort's business, for Hogwarts business.
"I didn't expect Dumbledore to have so much pressure in his heart. Recalling the scene, Lupin realized that he had never known the old man.
He had thought that Dumbledore was the embodiment of light, like a hero without flaws. But it wasn't until he listened to Dumbledore's confession before his death and learned about his life that Lupin realized that Dumbledore was no different from any weak old man.
His generosity is just not concerned, and his bravery is just not his business. Until the moment of death, Dumbledore could not come out of the shadow of his youth.
"He's had a hard time, but it's all over, he's free. ”
George couldn't help but sigh that Dumbledore was too tired and depressed to live.
A young man who lost his heart in his teens, a living dead who could only stay with portraits for most of his life. Death was the greatest relief for Dumbledore.
Lupin nodded, "Death is a good thing for Dumbledore. ”
After learning about Dumbledore's life, he had to admit that death was a relief for Dumbledore.
Lupin then picked up a black suitcase from his feet, which he placed on his desk and opened.
There were only two things in the box.
A golden cup with a beautiful carving on it, a long wand, which looks like it has been many years old.
Lupin said slowly, "This is the relic that Dumbledore gave me and must hand over to you, the Hufflepuff's Gold Cup, and his wand. ”
George gently picked up the golden cup, and the moment he got his hands on it, he was sure that this was Voldemort's last Horcrux.
He put down the Hufflepuff cup, picked up Dumbledore's wand, and studied it carefully.
The body of a wand is a material that is rarely used for wands - elderwood.
In traditional shamanic knowledge, elderberry is considered a habitat for the soul. Therefore, in the production of wands, elderberry contains forbidden colors, and in modern wand making, it is expressly forbidden to use elderwood to make wands.
"Elder Wand?"
George looked at his wand and muttered to himself. Special materials, a long history, he already had a guess about wands.
