Chapter 2116 Sacrifice of Glory

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

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

"What happened to Percy... it must have happened for a while, right? Then I think... I probably understand why you guys are hiding it from me and Molly. Yes! Remus, what you did was That's right...so, let's forget it here, but Molly must not let Molly know about this!"

This is what Arthur said just now.

To be honest, it seems nothing special at first, but if you think about it further - how selfless it must be to say "I'll forget it" shortly after hearing the news of his son's death!

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

He is very clear that under the current disaster, the overall situation is more important than personal relationships.

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

"Remus, just now you seemed to say... Percy was 'sacrificed'? What else... 'defensive battle'? Can you tell me more about it?"

"certainly."

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

"Go to the door and keep an eye on it... Also, look where that fellow Sirius has gone!"

Originally, he asked Sirius to be in charge of guarding the door, and he did so mainly to be somewhat prepared when Arthur and Molly came over. Who knows, he was still there when Luna and Molly entered the house one after another, but when Arthur finally came, Sirius was gone.

However, Sirius is certainly not such an irresponsible person, or rather, he is the kind of man who attaches great importance to making promises with friends. Leaving suddenly now... probably has a reason.

And at this moment, Luna, who had been standing aside and watching since just now, suddenly raised her hand and pointed in a certain direction:

"For Sirius, it seems to be over there!"

"Huh?" Kingsley and Lupine subconsciously glanced at her arm,

Immediately, the latter frowned slightly and said, "Over there... is my room?"

"Maybe another secret letter has arrived?" Kingsley was also taken aback, and then said, "Then I'll go and see him first... Miss Lovegood, can you watch the door for me for a while? That's... And if Mrs Weasley comes, just remember to say hello loudly to her."

"Oh, okay!"

Luna nodded, then followed Kingsley and left here, walking towards the door.

At the same time, after arranging all these things, Lupine told the grief-stricken Arthur about the cause and effect of Percy's death. Although he himself was not clear about everything, especially the specific details of Weymouth's defense line at that time, he still said almost everything he could tell the other party in an orderly manner.

During the entire process of Lupin's statement, Arthur didn't speak again, he just engraved every word of Lupin deep in his heart without saying a word.

After a while, after Lupine had finished speaking, Arthur let out a long breath, and finally there was some light in his dim eyes.

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

"That's natural." Lupine nodded affirmatively when he heard the words, "Even if we don't mention Percy's contribution to resisting Haierbo and resisting this disaster, it is only because of his last persistence that he saved The life of the wizard, a large number of supporters, is enough to make his name firmly remembered by many people."

Speaking of which. He couldn't help but pause for a while, and then added specifically:

"In fact, a large part of the people who took Harry's child from the camp at Cherbourg to the Burrow this time were thanks to Percy, and they voluntarily stood up to respond to Hermione and Ron's request. Summoned!"

Obviously, Lupine's last words were actually thought up by himself - after all, as the only Luna who has some knowledge about the recent operation, she has never mentioned such details to Lupine before.

But... If it's just used to comfort Arthur's heart, it doesn't seem to matter to say a few words like this kind of insignificant white lie.

"yes?"

Sure enough, after hearing this, Arthur couldn't help closing his eyes slightly, leaning against the back of the sofa and raising his head slightly. Not long after, a not-so-conspicuous drop of crystal slipped down from the creases that had already appeared at the corner of his eyes.

After a few seconds, Arthur wiped it casually with the back of his hand, then sat up straight again, and turned to look at Lupine who was sitting beside him.

"Has his... body been found?" Arthur asked very seriously, "Is it still at Weymouth port? Or, has it been brought back to the camp in Cherbourg?"

The question he pressed immediately made Lupine hesitate again. However, after witnessing Arthur's selflessness and firmness at this time, he felt that there was no need to hide this issue from him any longer.

"At the Burrow," Lupine replied, "Harry and the others have sent Percy to be buried at the Burrow - according to Miss Lovegood, this seems to be one of Percy's last wishes. And In fact, Percy was buried in a simple funeral just after they arrived at the Burrow in a group not long ago."

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

"Well, alas—"

Lupine couldn't help but sighed slightly and said:

"If you want to talk about 'other wishes'... I think that is probably the reason why the children choose to build a new base in the Burrow, right?"

Speaking of which, the two of them seemed to have finally lost the idea of ​​continuing the conversation, and both of them shut their mouths. Soon, the place became quiet again.

But not long after, the return of Sirius and Kingsley once again broke the depressing tranquility here.

I saw Sirius rushing into the living room with big strides. After subconsciously looking at Arthur, although he immediately frowned because he noticed the strange atmosphere here, he immediately turned his head to look at Lupine.

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