Since the afternoon of Christmas day, the original bright sunshine seems to have forgotten its responsibilities, and has failed to fall on the ground again for several consecutive days.

Snowflakes once again occupy everyone's vision and also occupy everyone's time to play outdoors.

But Maka didn't intend to stay long. There are still a lot of things to do next. Now that you have enjoyed a happy friendship, it's time to take action.

In a week's time, it will be the public day of Dumbledore's funeral. Whether with Dumbledore or not, a large number of wizards are coming one after another. In order to mourn the contemporary white wizard, a few days passed quickly while the wind and snow outside became bigger and bigger.

In these days, Maka has met countless people

There are representatives of various pure blood families at home and abroad, as well as excellent Wizards of mixed blood or Muggle origin. Of course, there are many ordinary wizards who are not famous and have not even heard of them.

There are professors and even principals of major magic schools, representatives of various large and small organizations, and naturally members of the international wizard Federation.

They all come from different industries, different families and even different countries, but each of them will say "sorry", and each will sigh for Dumbledore's life, as well as for Dumbledore's existence.

Each of them interprets what Dumbledore has done and shows Dumbledore's magnificent life that is difficult to comment on in words.

Even if the body is dead, some people are more dazzling than those who are still alive. This is Albus Dumbledore.

Maka doesn't know how many people feel this, at least he himself really feels it. Although he never pursued this surging life among the crowd, he couldn't help sighing for it.

On the evening before the funeral, another huge carriage flew across the sky to Hogwarts castle. Dragging it were a dozen huge talisman horses, which spread their silver wings and landed lightly on the edge of the forbidden forest.

Then Mrs. maxim, who had not seen for a long time, came out of the carriage and gave Hagrid a close hug.

Almost at the same time, a delegation from the British Ministry of magic arrived, including the current minister Rufus schlinger. Along with them, there is also babajid akinbad, a famous African wizard, who is the president to be of the International Federation of wizards.

It's no surprise that these two guests are coming. But if they come together, it will inevitably make people suspicious.

Several members of the International Federation of wizards arrived first a few days ago. They thought that the incumbent aginbad would choose to avoid suspicion, but they didn't expect him to come again, and he came with schlinger.

After fudge, the last Minister of the British Ministry of magic, was finished, people with clear eyes could see that something was wrong.

However, Maka had some doubts.

Most of them were not suspected - Dumbledore told him himself before and after the Merlin medal ceremony that day. Therefore, even if they walk together, it may not be a bad thing.

Compared with these two "official" figures, Maka is more concerned about another thing

"Why did you come here? Didn't I tell you when I left the burrow before? This funeral ceremony is more for outsiders, and it's doomed to be not peaceful. You'd better not come!"

Outside the crowded auditorium, Marca frowned and looked at Harry and others with a headache.

Fortunately, Luna was more obedient. He really stayed at home when he said not to come; Hermione is relatively more rational. She knows it's useless to come, so she didn't appear in school today.

"Marca, we can't sit at home!" said Harry stubbornly. "I know a lot will happen today, but how can we spend time sitting in the burrow playing cards and chess when we think that the professors and you are working hard for Hogwarts?"

"... yeah," Ron snorted.

He didn't seem as determined as Harry, but now that he came, it showed that he actually agreed with the action in his heart.

"Alas..." Marca said helplessly, "where's Hermione? Since you're here, she probably came too?"

To Marca's surprise, Harry immediately shook his head.

"Hermione won't agree with Ron and I coming this time," he whispered. "She sent us a letter two days ago telling us not to come on impulse... So we didn't tell her today."

Marca was stunned and looked at Ron subconsciously.

"She won't come, and we don't want her to come --" Ron decided a lot this time. "It's enough for us to be stupid. There's no need to force her to take risks with us."

"You've made up your mind to exchange your life for psychological comfort today?" Marca said impolitely and waved her hand again. "Hurry back! Hogwarts will use you in the future, but it's definitely not now - don't you understand this truth?"

"We won't go back!" Harry insisted. "Didn't you say in the orchard that day? Written knowledge is far less important than practical practice - I think it's also common to fight black magic!"

"The usual training is far less important than the actual face," Ron added.

"Yes," Harry nodded and continued, "and Professor Dumbledore once said - death is just another great adventure - isn't that what you conveyed to us for the professor?"

At this point, he paused, then looked directly at Marca and said, "I know it's too early to understand Dumbledore with our two abilities! But if we don't face it all the time, how can we understand the truth when we really need to face death?"

I have to say that Harry's remark did get to the point.

Maka has been trying to protect these friends and doesn't want them to encounter too many crises. But every time they hide in shelter, they will not usher in real growth.

He is not unclear about this, but it is difficult to let go.

Not to mention the boys Harry and Ron, at least the girls Luna, Hermione, Willie and so on, he couldn't help sheltering them.

In some ways, he may be a cruel man; But in other aspects, he is actually very soft hearted. That's why he always laughs at himself and says he's just an ordinary person.

Like Dumbledore, he also loved Harry, the brave lion cub, just as he loved other little wizards. But when necessary, he can even let Harry die once to ensure that he can live more safely in the future.

If it were Marca, he wouldn't be able to do that at all.

Faced with Harry's argument and Ron's silent support, Marca hesitated rarely.

These two former classmates and current friends, although their ability is really not enough to deal with most difficulties, he can feel their courage and responsibility.

As they grew older over the years, their bodies became as tall and straight as themselves. Ron was even half a head taller than him.

Probably because of his own guidance and guidance, the red haired boy's character and temperament have gradually deviated from the occasional shadow in his impression, and his courage and persistence have slowly begun to appear.

On the contrary, Harry's growth has obviously slowed down under the influence of his series of actions. It's rare that he showed courage this time. He really shouldn't have obstructed more.

But danger is danger after all. Not only Voldemort is far from the Voldemort in his distant memory, but also greenward is involved. In addition, there is the so-called "sin" that even he is confused. The current situation has already become more chaotic.

In this case, the courage of Harry and Ron seems too small. They can only describe their existence with a flame in the snowstorm.

Can this single spark burn the plain? Even if it is possible, Maka is not a gambler who can bet on everything.

"... come with me."

A gambler can't be a gambler, but a dealer can still be a gambler. Whether win or lose, if we can find a way to keep our chips, it will kill them. Their intention is not no good.

"Tomorrow is still a whole night away. It's up to you to stay." Maka whispered as she walked. "I know you think of a force, but if it doesn't work, what's the difference?"
