Chapter 1,209

"No, they won't do that." Fan Lin shook his head and placed the shelf belonging to Fox near the head of the bed.

Will Fox come back?

This makes Fan Lin a little unsure, but it is true that Fox is a very good helper.

"Why?"

"Because this is Hogwarts." Fan Lin said matter-of-factly, "No matter what the conflicts are, Hogwarts will continue to move forward. Even Voldemort will not do anything like closing Hogwarts. Maybe he'll kill everyone, but Hogwarts won't disappear."

"This is……"

"Tom also walked out of Hogwarts. This has nothing to do with this school. If he wants to completely destroy Hogwarts, then it is not Snape who comes tonight, but him who personally leads the Death Eaters. The army came all the way from the door."

"So, Hogwarts won't be closing?"

"That should be the case," Fan Lin said, "Hogwarts matters ultimately need to be decided by the Hogwarts people themselves."

"No matter what, maybe we will all make a decision tomorrow. Ron, maybe you can think about it carefully."

…

All classes have been temporarily suspended and all exams have been postponed.

In the following time, some students hurriedly left Hogwarts with their parents... The Patil sisters left before breakfast on the morning after Dumbledore's funeral; while Zachary Smith He was escorted back from the castle by his arrogant-looking father. Seamus, on the other hand, refused and went straight back to his mother's house, who allowed him to stay there after the funeral.

They had a crying match in the entrance hall. And his mother had trouble finding an empty bed in Hogsmeade.

Seamus told Harry and Fanlin that many wizards and witches are now flocking here, ready to express their respect and memory for Dumbledore.

Late in the afternoon before Dumbledore's funeral, a blue carriage as big as a house, pulled by two huge winged monster horses, appeared in the sky and landed at the edge of the forest.

This scene caused a commotion among the young students who had never seen it before.

Fan Lin looked out of the window and saw a tall and elegant black-haired lady with olive skin walking down the ladder of the carriage, and was supported by the arms of Hagrid, who had been waiting for a long time.

Of course the people from Beauxbatons are coming. If the news of Nicolas Flamel's death is released, Beauxbatons will really have a lot to do.

Of course, at the same time, a delegation from the Ministry of Magic, including the Minister of Magic himself, was present at the castle. Harry frequently avoided contact with any of them; he was sure that sooner or later he would be asked again about Dumbledore's last trip away from Hogwarts.

During this period, Harry, Ron, Vernon, Hermione and Ginny spent the whole day together, and the sunny weather seemed to be teasing them.

Fan Lin suddenly felt a little emotional. The recent days were so peaceful that he could almost imagine what would have happened if Dumbledore had not left so early. Did they get together and chat like drunkards in a bar, instead of trying to avoid some problems that seemed very sharp and bad now, like they did now?

The body of the werewolf Fenrir Greyback was also found in the woods behind the place where Dumbledore died.

Fan Lin admitted that he did this because he was the only one in the school who used magic like this.

Greyback's head was severed and frozen, and his body was nailed to the ground by countless pieces of ice.

Of course, there were other Death Eaters, such as the Alai brothers and sisters, who were found at the gate, where the blood was frozen on the bare earth.

This made Professor McGonagall very worried. Of course, Fanlin made a promise, and Professor McGonagall was not asking about Dumbledore.

It is clear that Harry and Fanlin have made up their minds to solve the problems left by Dumbledore themselves.

Sirius came back the next morning. In order to stabilize Sirius's mood, Lupine had to take him away from Hogwarts.

Snape killed Dumbledore?

Things finally took a turn for the worst.

Even Fan Lin sometimes wondered whether Snape really betrayed them.

They visited the hospital wing twice a day: Neville had left, but Bill was still under Madam Pomfrey's care.

Bill's injuries were as bad as before. In fact, although he was lucky enough to save his eyes and legs, he already looked very similar to Mad-Eye Moody, but his character remained unchanged from before.

Fleur was always very happy. After all, Bill used to be very cool and could charm a Veela, but now, Bill only belonged to Fleur, because no one would want him outside.

This is a really bad joke.

However, Fanlin still promised Bill to customize a set of alchemy equipment for him, and if it was acceptable, he could also perform a minor operation, but obviously, Bill didn't take it to heart.

After all, this is the man who is getting married, and his life is set, and Fleur loves him so much.

"I guess I'm going to have to believe that he's really going to marry Fleur," Ginny sighed sadly in the evening, as she sat with Hermione, Verlin, Harry, and Ron. The open window of Lanfondo Lounge looked out at the square.

"She's not that bad," Harry said sincerely, "Although... she's a little ugly."

What Harry said was so against his will that Harry became even more panicked because Ginny raised her eyebrows and sneered.

"Well, I'm sure if Mom organized it, I would too."

"Who else do we know is dead?" Fanlin asked Hermione, who was reading the Daily Prophet.

"No, of course. Maybe it's because there's no report here. Too many people have left recently, and the Ministry of Magic has a very clear goal."

"They're still looking for Snape, but there's no sign..."

"Of course not," Harry became very angry, "The people from the Ministry of Magic are just a bunch of..."

"They won't stop looking for Snape until they find Voldemort. And it seems like they have no idea what to do this time..."

"I'm going to bed," Ginny yawned, "I haven't been able to get a good night's sleep since... I need to rest."

She kissed Harry (Ron turned his face sharply), looked at the other two people, and then Fan Lin naturally pulled Hermione into his arms...

Um……

This seems a bit excessive.

But Ginny obviously lost her energy, and she walked towards the girls' dormitory. The moment the door closed behind Ginny, Hermione turned to face Harry sideways with the most common expression on her face. "Harry, I discovered something in the library this morning..."

Harry was playing dumb. He didn't feel that he had so many emotions before, excitement, curiosity, and a strong desire to find the answer to the secret. He only knew that before he could go further along the darkness, the mission of discovering the real Horcrux must be completed. .

Before him lay a rough path, a path that Dumbledore had walked with him before, but he knew that from now on he would have to walk it alone.

There are also two Horcruxes, cups, and an unknown object. This made Harry confused, and even Harry tried to resort to his dreams, but it was of no use.

"What is it?" Harry asked, "If you could stop hitting me..."

"It's just..." Hermione was a little embarrassed, "I think you need to know about...Snape."

She stared at Harry nervously, and then said the name in one coherent voice. "What's wrong with him?" Harry fell into a chair with a heavy heart.

"This is just my correct opinion about the Half-Blood Prince..." she said tentatively.

"Do you always have to poke me where it hurts, Hermione?! Do you know how I feel right now??"

"No... no... Harry, I didn't mean that!" Hermione looked panicked, looking around to make sure no one heard their conversation, "I just read the book that Eileen once owned, and you know ...She is Snape's mother!"

"All I know is that she's not very pretty," Ron interjected. Hermione ignored him.

"Don't interrupt..." Fan Lin stood up to maintain daily dialogue.

"I checked the rest of the old prophets and found a very brief notice that Irene was married to a man named Tobis, and the subsequent report showed that she gave birth to a..."

"Murderer!" Harry said immediately in disgust.

"Okay...yes!" Hermione said, "So...at least one thing is right. It can be seen that Snape must be very proud to be a "half-blood prince." From the prophecy, it can be seen that Tobis is A Muggle..."

"Very good, just right." Harry said: "He pretended to be a pure-blood so that he could join Lucius Malfoy and rely on them... Like Voldemort, he had a pure-blood mother and a Ma. Father Melon... Of course, since they were all ashamed of their origins and tried to instill fear in themselves about using dark magic, they gave themselves an impressive name... Voldemort... Half-Blood Prince, Deng How could Blido get it wrong?"

Harry stopped and looked out the window, and couldn't help but think of Dumbledore's incomprehensible trust in Snape... But Hermione had just inadvertently reminded him: He, Harry, was also deceived... …

Even though the scrawls were getting dirtier, he still couldn't believe that the smart boy was sick and that the boy had helped him... helped him... the thought was almost unbearable.

Are you complacent about using something belonging to a murderer, and even trying your best to protect it?

"Now……"

"I still don't understand why he didn't stop you from using that book," Ron said. "He must have figured out where you got it."

"He knows, of course he knows," Harry said sadly, "He knows when I started using the Divine Edge Shadowless Spell. He doesn't really need to rely on ingesting divine thoughts. He may even know it before that." What Lahorn said about how I excelled in Potions... it couldn't have happened without his book on the bottom of the cupboard, wouldn't it?"

"Then why didn't he report you?" Ron asked.

"I don't think he wants to associate himself with the book," Hermione said. "I don't think Dumbledore would be happy to know about it. And even if Snape had previously stated that it wasn't his, Slughorn Would have recognized his handwriting immediately. Anyway, the book was lost in Snape's old classroom, and I bet Dumbledore knew Snape's mother's name was Irene."

"I should have shown that book to Dumbledore," Harry said angrily. "He told me then how evil Voldemort was, even when he was at school, and I also had evidence that Snape yes……"

"Evil is a powerful word," Hermione said calmly.

"You were the first person to tell me that this book was dangerous!" Harry was confused.

"I'm trying to say, Harry, you blame yourself too much. I always thought that the Half-Blood Prince seemed to have a very disgusting... sense of humor, but I never thought that he was a lurking killer... "With that said, Hermione turned her eyes to Fan Lin.

This made Hermione a little uneasy because...

"None of us would have guessed that Snape was... you know," Ron said, and then the others were silent.

"You...it doesn't matter!" Hermione took the initiative and leaned over, pressing her face against Fan Lin's chest.

If there is anyone who respects Snape the most, it is Fan Lin.

This seemed to be the worst thing Fan Lin had ever done.

"It's okay with me." Fan Lin whispered, just holding Hermione's waist and leaning on the sofa without moving.

what can I do? Am I desperate too?

Let Fan Lin, like Harry, denounce Snape's bad behavior?

It must be admitted that at the moment of Dumbledore's death, Fanlin's mood was a little unstable. Unlike Harry, Fanlin was angry at Malfoy, and then Snape blocked a curse for Malfoy, so that Snape Pu's arms are all gone.

As well as those Death Eaters, except for Bella and Tafur who escaped, the rest of them were basically kept in Hogwarts forever by Fan Lin.

"It's not your fault, Fanlin!" Harry suddenly realized, and it seemed that Fanlin was also sad. Snape once taught him...

"I mean, you did a good enough job. You saved me and then left a bunch of Death Eaters..."

"Someone has to pay some price, right?" Fan Lin said, "I think there are some things that I have to solve with my own hands, otherwise, I won't be there!"

"Yes..." Harry opened his mouth, and then everyone was speechless again.

This time it was worse and heavier than before.

Their pillars fell, and from now on, they had to rely on themselves for everything they did.

Silence fell among them, each lost in thought, but Harry was sure that they, like himself, were thinking of the coming morning, when Dumbledore's body would rest for eternity.

Harry had only attended Regulus's funeral before. Although Regulus was admirable, in fact, except for Sirius, Harry had no other feelings.

Harry didn't know what to expect and was a little worried about what he was going to see, what he was going to feel.

He was surprised to find that he could only feel that Dumbledore's death was real when Dumbledore's funeral was over.

Although he had time to accept the terrible fact, there was a huge emptiness in his mind, and no one in the entire castle was discussing anything other than the truth of the matter, Harry found it still difficult to accept that Dumbledore was gone. of this fact. (To be continued)
