Chapter 321： Eulogy

, The fastest update of the latest chapters of a certain Hogwarts magic text professor!

More people came, not just the relatives of the Black family, some officials of the Ministry of Magic also came, and some friends of Felix, he even saw the figure of Rita Skeeter, she Standing low-key, she has been listed as the most unpopular reporter ever since her Animagus was exposed.

Sirius didn't know the woman well and probably didn't know the information yet, but Harry was reminding him in a low voice.

The funeral ceremony officially began.

The green grass was green, Regulus’s coffin was full of flowers, and he lay quietly in it, his angular face was calm, as if he was asleep. He wore an emerald green robe embroidered with the Black family crest, and the corner of the coffin was engraved with the Black family motto written in French: always pure.

Sirius looked at the solemn faces in the audience, knowing that there is a tough battle to be fought today, but the protagonist may not be him, he took a deep breath and read the eulogy calmly.

"Thank you for coming. Among you, there are old friends and in-laws of the Black family, as well as my friends, teachers, and wizards with reputations in various industries."

"I once heard that a person's life span is not only the days he was alive, but also the time he stayed in people's memory after his death. But I think about it over and over again, and maybe I have to add that he is in people's memory. His image is also very important, from a polite noble son to a follower of the demon who started the war... It would be extremely unfair if only to be fixed here. I am honored that today, in my At the funeral of his younger brother, Regulus Arcturus Black, he personally announced his achievements. He dedicated his life to the great cause of fighting against the Dark Lord. On the long and lonely road, he Demonstrated courage and persistence far beyond ordinary people."

In spite of the commotion in the audience, he read on in one breath--

"His achievements have been witnessed by Albus Dumbledore and Felix Hayp. They will speak after me... In school, Regulus is an excellent seeker for His own academy brings honor. He treats people with sincerity, integrity, enthusiasm and courtesy..."

Sirius finished his eulogy and stepped off the stage. Harry comforted him softly. He shook his head and looked at Dumbledore.

The guests’ comments came and went, and Sirius’ words shocked them. Some people sneered: "Is this trying to reverse the case for my brother?" And more people stared at Dumbledore, if Sirius was talking about himself. , Then Dumbledore’s next speech is extremely weighty.

Dumbledore nodded slightly, stepped forward, and expressed his opinion: "Regulus Arcturus Black, showed us the growth process of a young man. In his childhood, he was influenced by The family and parents have the deepest influence, take this mark into school and make friends..."

"He has been exposed to more new perspectives and learned to think. Maybe he is still immature or naive, but we should not ignore his growth in this process and the potential he has shown. When he walks out of school, he uses himself His eyes saw the reality of the world, and reality and ideals collided fiercely in his mind. At this time, we saw how a noble soul thinks: doing the right thing and not caring for himself. He must have something in his mind. Deep-rooted ideas fight, fight alone, and finally win."

"He recognized Voldemort's face and gave a head-on blow. He was unknown when he died, but we will not forget this 18-year-old, young and hot soul."

"War has never been far away from us. Perhaps one day, it will suddenly erupt in a way we did not expect, and as long as we breathe, we will not stop fighting. When we hold the magic wand, those who dedicate themselves to love and the welfare of the public The forerunner of "will bring us countless spiritual wealth."

Dumbledore’s words made an even bigger wave. Rita Skeeter hid herself in the corner, took out the quill and parchment from her pocket, and was so excited that a ring of sweat broke out on her nose, and the quill quickly fluttered. .

Felix paced over: "Rita, the hero must not be slandered."

Rita Skeeter, the woman's body stiffened, immediately smiled: "Of course, Mr. Haipu intends to reveal more inside information?" She calmly crumpled the parchment into a ball.

"You are good at making stories, as long as you don't slander Regulus, I have no other opinion."

Rita Skeeter stuffed one end of the quill pen into her mouth and kept sucking. In just a few seconds, she thought of something, and her eyes lit up: "I plan to write a meal from Regulus’ perspective. What do you think of the black demon in the eyes of the dead, from worship to disillusionment?"

Felix glanced at her in surprise: "Aren't you afraid of being retaliated?"

"Sir, the true fanatical followers of the Dark Lord are all in Azkaban, and there is a group of cowards outside." Rita Skeeter said contemptuously, "a bunch of grass, you can't find a better word to describe them. NS."

"I'm waiting to read your masterpiece." Felix said.

On the other side, someone has already begun to question Dumbledore—

"Dumbledore, what you said is true?" Barty Crouch frowned. Regulus joining the Death Eaters was once recognized, because his parents did not shy away from it. However, after the war, the Ministry of Magic did not try Regulus, because he had disappeared before that. Even the captured Death Eaters didn’t know what happened, maybe they died in some evil. , Maybe it was angry that the Dark Lord was killed.

"Guaranteed by my reputation." Dumbledore said with a smile.

"Do you have any evidence?" Barty Crouch said. "If there is no evidence, the Ministry of Magic will not admit—"

Sirius said coldly: "My brother did not fight Voldemort in order to gain your recognition."

Barty Crouch's face twitched fiercely. It was that he had approved Sirius's life imprisonment ban without trial, and after thirteen years, he was proven innocent.

Tonks leaned over and whispered to Lupin on the side: "There have been a lot of rumors in the ministry recently, and old things have been brought up again. It is said that Mr. Crouch can achieve today's status with a vicious heart, except for illegal trials. Sirius, he still imprisoned his son in Azkaban without evidence, and all this is for the seat of Minister of Magic."

"Weissengamo has considered withdrawing his membership."

Lupin moved aside reluctantly, he was not very comfortable with this kind of intimate conversation.

Soon, Felix stood in front of the crowd. He scanned for a week, and when the discussion calmed down, he said: "I agree with the words of Sirius and Principal Dumbledore in front of me, no need to repeat. I happened to hear one sentence today. Let me share it with everyone..."

"Someone told me that people should learn to look forward and don't have to be entangled in the past. The world will move forward after all." He said softly, "It makes sense..."

"We always act based on our own judgments about the future, thinking that only we can see clearly and see far. But the question is, we all look forward, so who will see the future become reality?"

His gaze swept across Lucius Malfoy, who was holding his wife and son, standing blankly, still pondering what Felix had just mentioned.

"I have never experienced war, but I am also deeply affected by war. In my opinion, every war is a collision of different wills, sincere, enthusiastic, selfless, cruel, despicable, and greedy... "

Felix said softly, but instead, his eyes pierced a handful of people like a knife.

"From past experience, when faced with choices, some people are careful and profitable; some are flattering and rise to a high position; some are wise to protect themselves, some hide in hiding..."

"But fortunately, there are still a group of people from who chose to stand up and defend everything they cherish when the crisis is approaching."

Everyone stared at his eyes, wanting to see the deepest thoughts in his heart, and Felix just said unhurriedly: "I am curious, friends, when the choice comes again, you do Are you ready? Which side will you choose?"

"Felix Haip! What are you advocating!"

A fat wizard roared and shouted, his voice deformed with fear: "Do you want to give orders, order us! And that crazy old man, full of lies, I shouldn't have participated in this damn—"

His words stopped abruptly, his whole body was trembling, he made a "hoho" sound, and then twitched and fell down. In just a few seconds, he was pulled closer to the thinking cabin by Felix seven times. Burning the consciousness on the surface with a fiery flame, although it is only a projection of the real consciousness, but these painful feelings are true. He has to lie down for at least two weeks.

"...I saw the future I thought and decided to join it, no matter what obstacles I faced, I was ready." Felix finished his speech.
