The Legend of Harry Potter Schoolmaster

When Jon returned to the auditorium, he encountered a rather regrettable thing, that is, the house elves had taken away the salmon from the Hufflepuff table.

Just as he was thinking about what to eat next, Professor McGonagall also returned to the auditorium.

Zacharias reminds Jon, interrupting his thoughts. I saw Professor McGonagall standing there with a serious face, and the mournful whispers in the auditorium immediately calmed down.

"It's almost time." She said loudly, "All students, please follow your headmaster to the field; Gryffindor students, follow me."

They came out in a single file from behind the benches, barely making a sound, and followed Professor Sprout.

The students of Ravenclaw naturally followed Professor Flitwick... and the situation of Slytherin is a bit special. Professor Setima Victor, who is in charge of arithmetic and divination, is now leading them. The multi-year-old witch is the only teacher in the school who is from Slytherin now.

They walked out of the gate one by one, Gryffindor at the front, and Slytherin at the end... After going down the stone steps, they walked in the direction of Hogsmeade Lake.

The warm sunlight in the sky shone on their faces. There were almost a thousand chairs lined up on the shore of Hogsmeade Lake. There was an aisle in the middle of these chairs, and a marble table was in the most central position. All the chairs are facing it.

Nearly half of the seats are already full, but it looks like a mixed bag. Some are ragged, some are handsome; some are old and some are young; there are even goblins and house elves mixed in...

Most were faces Jon didn't know, but there were a few he knew—

For example, most of the members of the Order of the Phoenix... such as Alastor Moody, Kingsley Shacklebolt, and the Weasleys...

There was also Madam Maxime—she sat with Hagrid, and the two of them occupied the seats of ten people... There seemed to be a few of Beauxbaton's students, and they sat behind Hagrid.

Hannah's grandfather, Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron, is also here, as well as some familiar faces that you can often see in the Leaky Cauldron... In addition, there are several singers from the Weird Sisters singing group, and Ern, the knight bus driver -The merchants of those shops in Poorland, Hogsmeade...

The ghosts of the castle were all present, barely visible in the sunlight, recognizable only as they walked, gleams of unreal light in the bright air. Whether it's Nearly Headless Nick, Fat Friar, or even Peeves, their expressions have become very serious...

Jon sat at the end of the crowd, listening to the whispers of the people in front... More and more people are coming here in an orderly manner, and some people have no place, so they can only stand silently in the corner .

The former Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, walked past them and headed for the front row of seats, looking scowl and rubbing his hands aimlessly.

And Rita Skeeter, the British reporter who was not popular at Hogwarts, she looked very excited, holding a notebook in her red paw-like hands, looking around from time to time.

Then Jon recognized Dolores Umbridge. Her toady face wore a mournful expression, and a black velvet butterfly crowned her iron-brown curls. When she saw the Gubly Fairy Fire beside the marble table (which Hagrid had brought here in memory of Dumbledore), she shuddered and hurried to a seat far away in fright.

Finally, everyone was seated. Minister Amelia Burns sat in the front row with Rufus Scrimgeour and Professor McGonagall. They were formally dressed and looked dignified.

But Jon is very skeptical, in this situation where Voldemort has fled, do these big figures in the Ministry of Magic really feel sad about the "death" of Albus Dumbledore?

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on the long marble table in front of him, and no one had a chance to observe his actions—Jon carefully took out a phoenix that had not grown up from his pocket, and put it on the ground, He signaled her to leave immediately.

A few minutes later—Fox's sad singing came from nowhere. The phoenix was singing a moving, pathetic dirge in a way Jon had never heard, echoing across the schoolyard and from the windows of the castle.

Almost to echo the singing of the phoenix, a mermaid chorus slowly swam to the lake. They sang softly in a strange language that wizards could not understand.

Their ugly, pale faces applied seriousness, and their purple hair floated around them. The music was hair-raising, but not harsh. The mermaids are clearly expressing their grief and despair.

...

Albus Dumbledore did not leave its body behind. On the long marble table, there were only some "relics" left by him during his lifetime——

The purple velvet robe studded with gold stars, the pale blue half-moon glasses, and his ugly pointed wizard hat...

After seeing Hagrid put the relics one after another, many witches couldn't help but shed tears of sorrow.

A small man with thick hair and wearing a plain black robe stood up from his seat and came to the long marble table. He was Ephias Dogo, a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and a friend of Dumbledore when he was young. .

His voice was a little choked, making it hard for the people in the back row to hear clearly, only a few words could be vaguely heard:

"Noble Spirit"..."Scholarly Achievement"..."Great Mind"...

There was the sound of splashing water on the left, and Jon turned his head to see that more merfolk had emerged from the water, listening carefully to Dumbledore's eulogy.

Jon suddenly remembered that he had almost destroyed the entire tribe of murlocs in Lake Hogsmeade with a pyrogen snake egg in this place two years ago... He couldn't help but feel a little palpitating, he turned around quickly, and He put on a hood to prevent the murlocs from recognizing him.

There was also movement in the Forbidden Forest. Slowly, the giant Glop came out, wearing a jacket and trousers the size of a small tent, with its huge, ugly head hanging down like a giant pebble. The centaurs also came, to express their condolences; they did not come out into the clearing, but hid half in the shadows, watching the wizards here without moving, while they did not raise their bows, but It's pinned to the side of the body.

The little Effias Dogo finally finished his speech and returned to his seat. Then Minister Amelia Burns came out and read out the Ministry of Magic's eulogy for Albus Dumbledore with a serious expression. And then--

Several witches screamed in fright.

Dazzling golden flames shot out from the long marble table: the flames jumped higher and higher, almost completely blocking Dumbledore's relics.

White smoke curled up into the air, taking the shape of a phoenix, which flew gracefully into the blue sky—but then the flame disappeared, and in its place, a white marble tomb appeared.

Countless bows and arrows rained into the air, but they fell far away from the crowd; it was the horsemen, who mourned in this way.

The murlocs also all dived to the bottom of the lake, which made Jon breathe a sigh of relief.

...

Ginny Weasley couldn't help it, her face was covered with glistening tears.

Her older brothers, Ron Weasley and Harry Potter, are also very depressed right now.

And Hermione Granger stared straight at the white phoenix-shaped shadow in the sky, and her hands suddenly trembled slightly because of excitement.

"I see!" she murmured.

"What do you understand?" Harry looked back at Hermione in some puzzlement.

But Hermione didn't have time to answer the question—

As the funeral ended, Professor Minerva McGonagall, Acting Headmaster of Hogwarts, walked to the white marble tomb.

The bustling sounds around him returned to calm again.

"We've lost a principal!"

"An elder!"

"A professor!"

"a friend!"

"Pride of Britain!"

"He was the symbol of hope, the leader of the wizards!"

"He is a warrior who never gives up in the face of black magic!"

"It is also the strongest shield in Hogwarts!"

"Dumbledore is gone, but Dumbledore will always be in our hearts!"

Professor McGonagall paused, glanced at the crowd, she let out a long sigh, and said:

"Albus Dumbledore is gone... Hogwarts will usher in its future!"
