Chapter 835 The Funeral of the Great Wizard

At the funeral, more and more people took the same action as Pierce, taking off their hats and bowing to show respect for the great white wizard.

The low whimpering became louder and louder. As Dumbledore's body was buried, many people burst into tears, unable to hide their emotions.

For a moment, the entire Hogwarts was enveloped in an atmosphere of sadness.

Ivan mingled among the students and looked at Hermione and others who were sobbing softly beside him, feeling very complicated.

He couldn't imagine how his friends would view him if they learned that Dumbledore died during a duel with him...

Although it was the dark magic attached to the Horcrux by Voldemort that took Dumbledore's life in the end, in a sense he also accelerated the other's death.

Thinking like this, Ivan felt a little more gloomy in his heart.

The funeral lasted all afternoon. After the tedious ceremony, Ivan had no intention of staying in the castle any longer. Dumbledore's death left him with a lot of problems and questions, and he needed to solve them one by one.

"Wait... Hals!"

Just as Ivan finished the dinner and was about to leave the foyer, a rough voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Ivan looked back, but it was Moody walking towards this side with a cane.

"What's wrong? Professor Moody?" Ivan's expression remained unchanged, he was secretly vigilant and asked in confusion.

"I heard Pierce say that you were the first to discover Albus's body, is that true?" Moody quickly walked up to Ivan, stared at Ivan with his magic eyes, and asked.

"Yes, that's right." Ivan nodded and responded slightly sadly.

"I hope you can give me a detailed description of what happened at that time..." Moody's expression was very serious. After a pause, he continued to speak.

"I read the notice issued by the Ministry of Magic this morning, but a lot of things on it were very vague. To be honest, it's hard for me to believe that Albus died like this... When the Ministry of Magic notified me last night , I almost thought they were joking with me..."

"Yes, this is indeed too sudden! We want to know the whole thing..." Flitwick, Lupine and others also walked out of the auditorium together, with deep sadness still on their faces. Professor McGonagall's eyes were even slightly red, probably because she had been crying secretly in private.

"Actually, I don't know much..." Ivan looked at the members of the Order of the Phoenix, couldn't help but sigh, and then spoke. "You should all know that at the end of last school year, after Voldemort was resurrected, because of my mother Asia, I refused Professor Dumbledore's invitation and did not go to your safe house..."

"Probably to ensure my safety, Professor Dumbledore left me a magic that can contact him urgently, but I have never been able to use it."

"But just yesterday morning, I suddenly received the coordinate information from Professor Dumbledore, so I rushed over..."

Ivan talked eloquently and said what he had already thought of.

In view of the fact that too much talk can lead to mistakes, Ivan only told Moody and others that by the time he got there, Voldemort had already escaped and Dumbledore was already dying.

"You mean, Albus was still alive at that time?" Moody asked quickly.

Sirius, Luping and others were also surprised.

"Yes, Voldemort is not Professor Dumbledore's opponent. When I arrived, the professor had already defeated him." Ivan said with certainty.

"Then why..."

Just when Lu Ping was about to ask, Ivan's voice came over first.

"You should have seen Professor Dumbledore's body. It was obvious that he was plotted by the mysterious man's black magic. When I got there, he didn't even have the strength to move..."

Hearing this, Moody and others nodded. They all checked Dumbledore's body and found that half of Dumbledore's body had been eroded by dark magic.

"Did the principal tell you anything?" Mag asked hurriedly. "Why would he appear in an abandoned village church and fight a mysterious man?"

"Professor Dumbledore only told me that he was looking for the whereabouts of something... but unfortunately the information he had was a trap deliberately left by Voldemort. As for the more specific details, I don't know..." Ivan shook his head slowly. Shaking his head, he said that when he found Dumbledore, he was already dying, and it was difficult to even speak, so he couldn't leave much information.

"What is he looking for?" Moody frowned and muttered to himself.

Lupine and Sirius looked at each other, vaguely guessing.

"Could it be the soul of the mysterious man..." Sirius was about to blurt out subconsciously, but luckily Lupine glared at him in time, making him hold back the last word.

"Do you know?" Moody was keenly aware of the strangeness between the two of them. He grabbed Sirius' arm with his free left hand and asked.

"If I guess correctly, it should be that one. No wonder we haven't seen Dumbledore recently..." Sirius said with a solemn expression.

In his opinion, the only thing that could make Dumbledore spend so much energy searching for was the mysterious man's Horcrux!

This can also explain why Dumbledore suddenly appeared in such a remote place, because Voldemort would definitely hide the Horcrux in a hidden place.

"Don't make it sound like a riddle, Sirius, what exactly is Albus looking for?" McGonagall looked at Sirius dissatisfied and asked.

"Please forgive me for not being able to say it clearly, Professor McGonagall. After all, this is related to the secret of the mysterious man's immortality. Dumbledore once asked us to keep it strictly confidential..." Sirius' face looked a little hesitant.

"But now that Albus is dead, you don't need to keep it a secret anymore!" Moody said angrily, tapping his cane heavily. "We have to figure out the situation and figure out how to kill the mysterious man!"

Flitwick, Pingsi and others also stared at Sirius, and they all agreed with Moody's statement.

Lu Ping on the side smiled bitterly and helped. "I think Principal Dumbledore did the right thing. The less people know about such evil black magic, the better... Not everyone can resist such temptation..."

Seeing that Lupine and Sirius seemed determined to hide it, Moody was extremely angry and his eyes widened. He had been an Auror for decades and had definitely seen more dark magic than everyone present combined. many……

Professor McGonagall shook her head helplessly, and then with a thought in her mind, she suddenly turned her head to look at Snape, who had been silent all this time, and asked.

"What do you say, Severus? It's about a mysterious person, don't you know nothing about it?"
