Chapter 218 Christmas Party
The brief funeral ended with great solemnity, and by the end, only the house-elf Kreacher was still twitching loudly, and Sirius had mostly recovered. (Baidu search "", the latest chapters are free to watch)
In his opinion, this is already the best result.
The news of Regulus' death had been confirmed thirteen years ago, and this funeral was just a belated ceremony.
All his last wishes were fulfilled, and his soul can rest in peace.
In Sirius' impression, Regulus was no longer a cowardly and evil Death Eater, no longer a fool who knew nothing and was finally killed by the family's pure blood concept. His brother was a worthy hero, and he was proud of Regulus.
The funeral was shabby, but everything was perfect.
In Ivan's view, the same is true. The only regret is that they did not get the locket that Regulus used to replace Voldemort's Horcrux, and the note that was placed inside to record his last words.
He still remembered the words above, which should roughly read: To the Dark Lord, I was dead long before you read this, but I want you to know that it was I who discovered your secret. I have stolen the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as possible. I'd risk my life and that's to hope you'll be killed when you meet your opponent. r.a.b.
This note to Voldemort fully embodies Regulus's bravery and shattered dreams between the lines.
You know, Regulus was once Voldemort's craziest admirer.
It can also be seen from the words on this font that, unlike all other wizards who are determined to resist Voldemort, until the last moment of his life, he still called Voldemort the Dark Lord, which is the honorific title for Voldemort by the Death Eaters.
This shows Regulus' view of Voldemort.
However, for the justice in his heart, for his belief and persistence, Regulus finally chose to steal and destroy Voldemort's Horcrux, and he would rather pay for it with his life.
From this point of view, Ivan wanted to take a look at the note he wrote.
But Dumbledore said that Voldemort placed the green liquid in the stone basin, and there was no other way to break it except to drink it.
Only when Voldemort goes to confirm his Horcrux in the future can Regulus' last words be rediscovered.
Although regrettable, this is undoubtedly exactly what Regulus envisioned before he died. In this way, conveying the last words of Regulus' life to Voldemort, let him know that there are still many people who resist him in obscurity, even among the Death Eaters.
Thinking of this dramatic scene, Ivan wanted to see Voldemort's expression with his own eyes.
He might be full of anger, but that shouldn't come as a surprise. After all, from the beginning to the end, Voldemort never trusted anyone except himself, and those Death Eaters who thought he relied heavily on them were just ridiculous flags.
The sky was getting dark, and after Regulus' funeral, Dumbledore hurried back to the Ministry of Magic. He had to attend the Wizengamot's trial of Peter Pettigrew.
The trial of Peter has reached a critical stage. The impact of this case is huge, and countless people are waiting for the final result.
Even if it was Christmas, the Wizengamot had no time to rest.
After Dumbledore left, Lupine, Sirius, Irwin, Harry, and Hermione did not return to 12 Grimmauld Place, but went to the Leaky Cauldron to attend the Christmas party as originally planned.
Kreacher was taken there too, although Sirius thought he should be left alone in the house, as he had been before. But everyone else insisted that it might be good for Kreacher to live at Hogwarts and expose him to other house-elves.
After apparating, Aiwen and the others came to the Leaky Cauldron.
Ivan looked at the dilapidated small bar in disbelief. The dark and dirty style of the past was swept away here. The whole hall was decorated like a dream, with green Christmas trees, mistletoe, and shining golden stars everywhere. And other Christmas decorations.
The strong smell of food came from the kitchen, and the bar owner Tom stood behind the bar in a funny red Christmas costume, opening his mouth and showing an ugly smile, welcoming every guest who came to the party.
Although the Christmas decorations here are not as spectacular as Hogwarts, they are full of more festive atmosphere.
In the bar, cheerfully dressed wizards can be seen everywhere, including many of Aiwen and his classmates from Hogwarts.
People sat in the bar scattered with wine glasses, gathered together and talked happily, and laughed happily from time to time.
In the middle of the bar, there is a strangely dressed band, they are playing a relaxed Christmas tune, from time to time they use magic to create a pair of colorful bubbles and golden fireworks, and many young people around the band are dancing happily dance.
Ivan rubbed his eyes, it was unbelievable. He couldn't imagine that a few hours ago, they were still fighting thousands of ghosts in the eerie cave, but now they were caught in a sea of festivals.
This is Christmas, the real Christmas party.
When they went in, the atmosphere inside the bar was up.
People recognized Sirius and Harry almost instantly, and the Leaky Cauldron fell silent for a moment, and then burst into applause, almost toppling the roof. They all squeezed over, shook hands with the two of them over and over again, and sent their most sincere holiday greetings.
Compared with Harry, who has the title of savior, Ivan is much less famous here, and he is also happy to relax. He and Hermione went to the bar to pick up a drink each.
Not far away, Lupine went to the barkeeper and booked a room for them to stay here tonight.
Ivan leaned lazily on the bar, looking at Sirius and Harry who couldn't get away for a while, he thought for a while, took Hermione's little hand, and prepared to go to the other side of Diagon Alley to take a look .
He had just heard from Lupine that not only the Leaky Cauldron, but the entire Diagon Alley had celebrations tonight. According to previous arrangements, people would celebrate until the wee hours of the morning.
Alvin and Hermione walked through the bar and came to the small patio surrounded by walls outside.
It was completely dark, and the cheerful festive atmosphere in the bar was cut off by the gate, and only faint sounds could be heard.
The two of them huddled in the small patio, very close together.
Feeling Ivan's close breath, Hermione's heart beat faster and faster, and her face turned red involuntarily.
Hermione's spirit had been tense just now when she faced those ghoul corpses in the cave, but now she suddenly relaxed.
She just felt that her mind was blank. Out of trust, she was so foolishly held by Ivan and walked out. She didn't know what he wanted to do. There is a strange feeling that I can't explain clearly.
