Chapter 782： Phoenix Elegy

Hogwarts Druid Master 782, Elegy of the Phoenix

Secrets, once more people know about it, the risk of exposure will increase exponentially. Both Dumbledore and Snape have deeply understood and experienced this.

So in order to make the plan go smoothly and reduce the chance of failure as much as possible, Dumbledore actually didn't even tell Professor McGonagall and the others at first.

only……

Who got Fish involved?

In fact, when he joined the gang, he was already mentally prepared to let Professor McGonagall and Hermione know the whole plan, but Professor Slughorn and Madam Pomfrey were definitely not among them.

Professor Slughorn was okay to say, after all, he knew about Horcruxes, and he had something to do with it. As long as Dumbledore mentioned the Horcrux a little, he would be embarrassed to express his dissatisfaction.

But Madam Pomfrey is more troublesome. Not only is she one of the people who have worked with Dumbledore the longest in the whole school, but when St. Mungo wanted to recruit Madam Pomfrey, she was also because of Dumbledore's retention. Stay at Hogwarts.

"Cough! Poppy, I have to do this out of necessity..." Dumbledore coaxed Madam Pomfrey in a low voice, and took the time to cast a complaining look at Snape.

"They said they wanted to try and see if they could cure you, but I can't stop it, right?" Snape raised his lips gloatingly, "I reminded you before that you gave too much time, a powerful potion. The master can still see the flaws."

Reading at zero

Fortunately, Madam Pomfrey is not an ignorant person. She was indeed angry because she was deceived by Dumbledore, but after calming down, she also guessed that he probably had some plans... After all, Dumbledore Although people are a little crazy at ordinary times, they don't make jokes about this kind of thing.

"Albus, what is it that requires you to play dead to deceive everyone?" Madam Pomfrey asked.

In fact, there was no need for Dumbledore to answer, she actually guessed the reason to some extent, except for the person who couldn't even mention his name, who else needed him to put so much effort into it.

Now that he can't hide it, Dumbledore can only pull Professor Slughorn and Madam Pomfrey into the water, thanks to him letting Harry get Professor Slughorn's memory and let Dumbledore know. He can be trusted.

"This matter has to start with when Fei Xu brought a black diary to me when he was in the second grade..."

...

"How's it going? Where's Madam Pomfrey?"

When Snape and Professor Slughorn returned to Professor McGonagall's office, Hagrid, who had been staring at the door, rushed up first and asked nervously.

Professor Slughorn sighed, shook his head regretfully, and said, "Albus has two kinds of powerful and ancient black magic entangled in his body, and it is difficult for me to solve one of them alone. ...I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do..."

"Mrs. Pomfrey is taking care of Dumbledore, you should leave him alone for now," Snape added.

Mainly because Madam Pomfrey's acting skills were not very good, Dumbledore was worried that she would be exposed, so he simply used this excuse to let her avoid other people's inquiries.

Hagrid let out a whimper and covered his huge palms on his face. Tears flowed from his fingers, and soon wet his beard and front. Several other professors also showed sadness. There was only Hagrid's whimpering.

Professor Slughorn still felt a little guilty about cheating his colleagues. He glanced at Hagrid in shame and said in a low voice, "Sorry, I'm going back first..." Then he turned and left.

The others just thought he was blaming himself for failing to cure Dumbledore, and didn't suspect anything...

After all, no one else could have imagined that several colleagues, including Madam Pomfrey and Professor McGonagall, would work with Dumbledore to deceive them and all the students at Hogwarts with things like being "severely wounded and dying". , and the wizarding world in general.

As the rumors were "confirmed" by the teachers and students at Hogwarts, the news that Dumbledore was dying soon spread throughout England, and was still spreading to other countries.

The Daily Prophet also changed its attitude from last year, and took out a lot of pages to report at length on Dumbledore's contributions.

Now everyone is more sure of the authenticity of the rumor, and the entire English magic world is in a state of grief.

Dumbledore taught and served as headmaster at Hogwarts for many years, and he was the absolute main force against Voldemort more than ten years ago, and countless wizards have been favored by him.

Even some pure-blood wizards who did not agree with him, after learning that Dumbledore was about to die, sent condolence letters and gifts to Hogwarts.

Some people even linked the recent attack on Hogwarts to Dumbledore, who believed that Dumbledore was likely to have suffered incurable and incurable injuries in order to protect the students at that time.

So angry people began to send letters to the Ministry of Magic, asking them to hang Umbridge and others who participated in the attack, as well as the mastermind Cornelius Fudge.

In the midst of such a commotion, the students at Hogwarts completed their final exams, and while they were waiting for their exam results, the news of Dumbledore's death was ushered in.

Then, Hogwarts held a very grand funeral. In addition to all the teachers and students of Hogwarts, many wizards came from all over to attend Dumbledore's funeral, even Maxim The lady also flew to Hogwarts in her carriage, pulled by giant rune horses.

Naturally, someone from the Ministry of Magic came over. Pierce Sinix, who was controlled by Voldemort, was there in person, and asked Professor McGonagall to see Dumbledore's remains.

Professor McGonagall knew what he was doing - to identify Dumbledore's body for Voldemort.

However, Professor McGonagall agreed to his request, because Fish had already asked Winky how Barty Jr. was swapped out of Azkaban by Barty.

This time, Dumbledore cheated death and used the same method. They found an old wizard who was really dying. After asking for his consent, they fed him compound soup mixed with Dumbledore's hair. agent.

After "looking at" the body of "Dumbledore", Sinix went to the Black Lake with satisfaction and took a seat.

As the seats by the Black Lake gradually filled up, the funeral began.

From the black lake came the singing of the fish people. They sang in a strange language that no one except Fei Xu could understand. The singing was not harsh, but it made the hair stand on end.

Immediately following, Fox, who had been standing on Feishu's shoulders, raised his head high, and uttered a pleasant but sad song in line with the melody of the fish people.

It's just that in Fish's ears, Fox's singing is not at all sad, because the lyrics in Phoenix's mouth are--

"Albus Dumbledore is a big fool~why do I sing such a boring song~It's so troublesome! So troublesome! So troublesome!"

Fisch tried his best to sullen his face, his tail kept flapping behind him, forcing himself not to sing along with Fox Finally, when Hagrid's eyes were swollen and tearful, he would be covered in gold stars After the corpse wrapped in purple velvet was carried to the front marble table, the singing of the fish people ended, and Fox naturally stopped.

A small man with bushy hair and a plain black robe stood up from his seat, stood in front of Dumbledore's body, and began to recite the eulogy that made Fisch drowsy, but in order not to reveal his flaws, the cat. The cat still managed to keep a serious expression.

After finally waiting for the eulogy to finish, the little wizard returned to his seat, and Fish saw dazzling white flames jumping out from around Dumbledore's body and around the table: the flames rose higher and higher. , covering the corpse.

White smoke birds rose up into the air, taking on all kinds of strange shapes: for a moment, it seemed that a phoenix flew happily into the blue sky, but then the flames disappeared, and there appeared a white marble tomb, The body of "Dumbledore" and the table on which the body was placed were wrapped in it.

Countless arrows flew out from the nearby woods like a shower, flew high into the sky, and then fell far away from the crowd - this is the centaur seeing off Dumbledore.

After shooting this shower of arrows, the centaurs turned around and disappeared into the shady trees. The murlocs also slowly sank to the green bottom and were never seen again.

Fish shook his ears and suddenly felt that Dumbledore's situation at Hogwarts might be very bad after Voldemort was dealt with.
