Chapter 2117

The atmosphere in the living room became more and more dull.

This is only because, just after Arthur stopped lupin and others with that "wait", he said something that made everyone present feel heavy.

"What happened to Percy... Should have happened for some time? Then I think... I probably understand why you should hide it from me and Molly. Yes! Remus, you're right... So I'll forget it here, but Molly must not know about it!"

That's what Arthur just said.

To be honest, it doesn't seem special at first, but if you think further - how selfless spirit is it to say "I'll forget it" soon after you get the news of your son's death!

There is no doubt that although Arthur has graduated from Hogwarts for many years, the flame named Gryffindor in his heart has never been extinguished.

He knew very well that under the current disaster, the overall situation was more important than personal affairs.

After a long silence, Arthur seemed to have lost all his strength, sat down on the sofa with a full face of depression, and then slightly lowered his head and said weakly:

"Remus, just now you seemed to say... Percy was' sacrificed '? What else...' defensive war '? Can you tell me in detail?"

"Of course."

Lupin nodded, then turned his head at Kingsley and said:

"Go to the door and watch... And look where Sirius is!"

Originally, he asked Sirius to be responsible for guarding the door, and he did so mainly to be more or less on guard when Arthur and Molly came. Who knows, when Luna and Molly entered the house one after another, he was still there, but when Arthur finally came, Sirius disappeared.

However, Sirius is certainly not so irresponsible, or rather, he is the kind of man who attaches great importance to making an appointment with his friends. Now suddenly leave... Mostly for a reason.

At this time, Luna, who had been standing and watching since just now, suddenly raised her hand and pointed in a certain direction:

"Sirius, it seems to be over there!"

"Hmm?" Kingsley and lupin looked subconsciously down her arm, and then heard the latter frown. "Over there... Is my room?"

"There may be another secret letter?" Kingsley was stunned, and then said, "let me see him first... Miss Lovegood, can you keep an eye on the door for me for a while? That is... If Mrs. Weasley comes, remember to say hello to her loudly."

"Oh, yes!"

Luna nodded and followed Kingsley away to the door.

At the same time, after arranging all these things, Luping told the sad Arthur about the cause and effect of Percy's death. Although he didn't know everything, especially the specific details of Weymouth's defense at that time, he said almost everything he could tell the other party in an orderly manner.

In the whole process of Lupin's statement, Arthur didn't speak again. He just engraved every word of lupin into the bottom of his heart without saying a word.

A moment later, when lupin had finished all the content, Arthur took a long breath, and finally some expression flickered in his originally dark eyes.

"I see," he sighed lightly. "Then we can at least say that Percy's sacrifice is extremely glorious and worthy of my father's pride... Is that so?"

"That's natural." lupin heard the speech and immediately said, "even if we don't mention Percy's contribution to resisting Haier Bo and resisting the disaster, just because of the lives of a large number of supporters and wizards saved by his last persistence is enough to make many people firmly remember his name."

That's it. He couldn't help a little meal, and then he deliberately added:

"In fact, a large part of the people Harry brought to the burrow from Cherbourg's camp this time volunteered to stand up to respond to Hermione and Ron's call because they thanked Percy!"

Obviously, Lupin's last sentence was actually his own idea - after all, as the only Luna who knows about the recent operation, she has never mentioned such details with lupin before.

But... If it's just used to comfort Arthur's heart, it doesn't seem to matter to say a word or two like this insignificant white lie.

"Really?"

Sure enough, Arthur could not help but close his eyes slightly, lean against the back of the sofa and raise his head slightly. Not long ago, a drop of crystal, which was not so conspicuous, slipped quietly from the wrinkles and gullies that had emerged at the corners of his eyes.

A few seconds later, Arthur wiped it casually with the back of his hand. Then he sat up straight again and turned his head to look at lupin sitting next to him.

"Have you found his... Body?" Arthur said very seriously. "It's still at Weymouth port? Or has it been brought back to Cherbourg's camp?"

The question he asked immediately made lupin hesitate. However, after witnessing Arthur's selflessness and firmness at this time, he felt that there was no need to hide it from him.

"It's in the burrow," lupin replied. "Harry, they have sent Percy to the burrow for burial - according to miss Lovegood, this seems to be one of Percy's last wishes. In fact, after they arrived in the burrow in a team not long ago, they held a simple funeral and buried Percy."

"Wish... This silly boy," Arthur shook his head and sighed. "So, does he have any other wishes?"

"Well, alas -"

Lupin could not help sighing:

"To say 'other wishes'... I think that's probably the reason why children will choose to establish a new stronghold in the burrow?"

As for this, they seemed to have no idea of continuing to talk, and both closed their mouths. Soon, it was quiet again.

However, it was not long before the return of Sirius and Kingsley broke the rather repressive tranquility here again.

Sirius hurried into the living room with a big step. After subconsciously looking at Arthur, although he immediately frowned because he noticed the strange atmosphere here, he immediately turned his head and looked at lupin.

"Remus, it's a letter from Professor McGonagall!"
