Chapter 786 Dumbledore's Death

No matter how many reasons there are, there is no real way to not worry.

"There are still a few months, and then George will be able to kill Voldemort." Harry said with certainty, "by then, everything will be fine."

"There are still a few months," Ron said with emotion, "It's really tough."

The last few months were actually not difficult.

Everyone is busy, and it will soon be April.

On a Saturday morning in mid-April, the school welcomed an unexpected visitor.

In the headmaster's office at Hogwarts.

George took out a crystal cup from the cupboard by the wall and brewed a cup of coffee for the guest.

He put the coffee on the desk and pushed it in front of the guest sitting across from the desk.

He greeted indifferently, "Lupin, you don't seem to be in a good state. Things are not going well for the Order of the Phoenix?"

The visiting guest was Lupin, the contact person of the Order of the Phoenix.

He had more white hair than the last time he met, and his expression became more haggard and tired.

Lupin took the cup and took a light sip of his coffee, with a wry smile on his face, "There is no more Order of the Phoenix."

He sighed, "The Order of the Phoenix is ​​over."

George sat back in his chair and asked in surprise, "Dumbledore finally decided to rest?"

The Order of the Phoenix was an organization formed by Dumbledore to fight Voldemort.

George has not been optimistic about the actions of the Order of the Phoenix. After the power of the wizard has reached a certain stage, other people are no longer qualified to fight against strong men like him and Voldemort.

However, he didn't try to convince Dumbledore, a stubborn old man over a hundred years old, it was impossible to be persuaded.

And now, when Voldemort was still alive, he was a little surprised that the Order of the Phoenix would be disbanded.

Lupin was silent for a while. "There is no more Dumbledore."

George was stunned for a moment, Dumbledore was so dead.

Afterwards, he reacted and said to himself, "Dumbledore is old, and he wanted to die early in the morning. After fighting Voldemort last year, he never recovered from his injuries, and time is running out."

George was mentally prepared for Dumbledore's death, and Dumbledore wanted to die early in the morning. But he had thought that Dumbledore would at least wait until he had killed Voldemort before he died.

Unexpectedly, life and death depended on fate. After all, Dumbledore was dying, and he was injured, and he couldn't last to the end.

"That's fine," George said calmly. "After the disbandment of the Order of the Phoenix, you can also calm down and rest for a while."

He suggested, "I think there are plenty of jobs for you, whether it's the Ministry of Magic or Diagon Alley."

Lupin nodded silently. Dumbledore's death made the people of the Order of the Phoenix lose their backbone and their goals.

At this time, the only thing they can think of is George, and he will naturally not object to George's arrangement.

George continued to ask, "Dumbledore's funeral, do you need to do anything to prepare? If you need anything, please feel free to speak."

He added, "Although I have no experience in this area, there are enough people in the school. After all, Dumbledore has been the headmaster of Hogwarts for many years, and the school will not ignore it."

"Thank you!" Lupin said gratefully.

He shook his head gently, "There is no funeral, this is Dumbledore's last wish. He didn't want to disturb anyone, and he didn't want anyone to disturb him. He asked me to bury him and his family together. ."

George nodded, "That's fine, I know, he longed for this day early in the morning. Death is a relief for him."

Lupin said with relief, "Dumbledore's injury started to worsen in the first two weeks. We wanted to inform you, but Dumbledore has been reluctant."

Lupin recalled the scene at the time, Dumbledore lying in his hospital bed, constantly repenting for what he had done.

"He was very guilty, he was a little bit delirious in his last moments. He was talking to himself all the time, blaming himself for watching it happen and not stopping anything."

During the last period of his life, Dumbledore was stuck in remorseful memories. For his sister, for Voldemort, for Hogwarts.

"I didn't expect that Dumbledore would have so much pressure in his heart." Recalling the scene at that time, Lupin realized that he had never known the old man.

He had thought Dumbledore was the embodiment of light, like a hero without flaws. But it was not until he heard Dumbledore's confession before his death and learned about his life that Lupin realized that there was no difference between Dumbledore and any weak old man.

His generosity just doesn't care, his bravery just doesn't concern himself. Until the moment of his death, Dumbledore could not come out of the shadow of his boyhood.

"He had a tough time, but it's all over and he's free."

George couldn't help feeling that Dumbledore was too tired and depressed.

A young man who lost his heart in his teens, a living dead who can only stay with portraits for most of his life. Death was the greatest relief for Dumbledore.

Lupin nodded, "Death is a good thing for Dumbledore."

After learning about Dumbledore's life, he also had to admit that death was a relief for Dumbledore.

Lupin then picked up a black suitcase at his feet, placed it on his desk, and opened it.

There are only two things in the box.

A golden cup with beautiful carvings on it, a long wand that looked like it was many years old.

Lupin said slowly, "This is the relic that Dumbledore told me to hand over to you, Hufflepuff's gold cup, and his wand."

George gently picked up the golden cup, and the moment he started it, he was sure that this was Voldemort's last Horcrux.

He put down Hufflepuff's gold cup and picked up Dumbledore's wand, scrutinizing it carefully.

The body of the wand is a material rarely used as a wand - elderberry.

In traditional wizarding knowledge, elderberries are seen as the habitat of the soul. Therefore, in the production of wands, elderberry contains taboo colors. In modern wand making, it is expressly forbidden to use elderberry to make wands.

"The Elder Wand?"

George looked at his wand and muttered to himself. Special material, long history, he has already guessed about the wand.
