Chapter 364 You Are Not Alone

The owner of the footsteps walked from the shadows into the light, and it was Draco Malfoy who had just opened the vanishing cabinet!

"puff--"

The Coke that Draco had just held in his mouth that he had not swallowed due to nervousness spurted out. Fortunately, he still had a cup in his hand to hold it, but it was a pity that he couldn't ask for the remaining Coke in the cup.

But he didn't regret the cup of Coke for even a moment. Draco looked at himself in shock, having pulled out the wand in the movie:

No... Brother, you... want to challenge Professor Dumbledore to a duel?

Then Draco saw himself in the movie knocking away Professor Dumbledore's wand with a disarming spell.

? ? ?

Draco shook his hand, and the cup of Coke fell directly to the ground. The remaining half cup of Coke was scattered on the ground, but no one reacted because everyone was immersed in the same shock.

However, despite disarming Professor Dumbledore, Draco was still unable to take action for a long time. During this period, the Death Eaters he called arrived, but because of Voldemort's instructions, Draco must kill Professor Dumbledore.

At this critical moment, Professor Snape arrived.

"Severus...please..."

"Awada Kendawa~"

A death curse with a slight tremor at the end revealed the life of the greatest wizard of this century.

The moment Professor Dumbledore's figure fell from the Astronomy Tower, the entire cinema was silent, except...

Professor Grindelwald turned around, grabbed Professor Dumbledore's shoulder and pulled him this way, and spoke in a low voice but with gritted teeth:

"This was your original plan?!"

Others were still immersed in the confusion and shock of "Huh? Professor Dumbledore really died like this?", but he had already thought of the previous scene where Professor Dumbledore and Professor Snape seemed to have no beginning or end. dialogue.

Professor Grindelwald knew that Professor Snape was Professor Dumbledore's man, so he made the relationship behind this scene clearer.

Dumbledore's request in the movie was not asking Snape to let him go, but asking him to kill him!

Professor Dumbledore blinked his sour eyes. He had to say that it was a bit shocking to see his own death with his own eyes.

Meeting Grindelwald's eyes, Professor Dumbledore said softly:

"I had no choice at the time...How did I know that Adam still hid such great strength?"

Professor Dumbledore did not deny it, because they were all people who knew more about the inside story, and the reason "it's just a movie fiction" didn't make sense to them.

"You put-"

Professor Grindelwald looked around, took a deep breath, and then cast silently before continuing:

"Even if it's the situation in the movie, you have a better solution-"

"No, I didn't."

Professor Dumbledore responded directly to Professor Grindelwald's question. He shook his head:

"I'm just an old man who's dying and alone. If I don't sacrifice, am I going to let Harry, who still has an infinite future, sacrifice himself?"

Although his plan included Harry having to experience an infinitely close death crisis when he went to destroy Voldemort, there was still a high possibility of survival, and he also tried his best to create more opportunities for Harry to survive.

As Voldemort's Horcrux, if Harry wants to destroy Voldemort, he can only be killed directly by someone else or take a gamble that Voldemort can't really kill him. As for not destroying Voldemort...

It's as if Harry took the initiative to destroy Voldemort in the first place, and it was Voldemort who wanted to kill him when he was still an infant!

Looking at Professor Dumbledore who looked calm, Professor Grindelwald was so angry that he wanted to curse.

But he had no choice. This was his Dumbledore, who had already embarked on a completely different path than the guy in the castle who stuck with his significant other every day.

"...You are not alone."

In the end, that was all Professor Grindelwald could say.

"……yes."

Professor Dumbledore responded softly.

After everyone in the Astronomy Tower left, the camera finally turned to the lower level of the Astronomy Tower. Harry emerged from under the invisibility cloak, with grief and tears on his face.

"What's going on?"

Harry couldn't help but said while looking at the screen.

"It's probably because I was hit by a restraining spell before."

Sirius was also shocked by the plot just now, but he was not as deeply immersed as Harry, so he could still think flexibly.

"Dumbledore can see through the Invisibility Cloak, and even if he doesn't have a wand, he can use a silent and wandless immobilizing spell on you. Maybe he's afraid that you won't be able to control your reaction, so..."

Sirius did not continue speaking. On the one hand, the words had been spoken clearly enough, and on the other hand, his attention was attracted by the plot of the movie that followed.

Looking at the body of Professor Dumbledore, the teachers and students who were attracted by the Dark Mark in the sky fell into great grief. In order to express their condolences, everyone pointed their wands with shimmering lights at the top to the sky.

The little gleams of light briefly dispersed the dark clouds above everyone's heads, and the black mark in the sky slowly dissipated due to the lack of magic power to maintain it.

Killing Professor Dumbledore has achieved his goal. The invading Death Eaters are not enough to clear out Hogwarts. At the same time, Voldemort does not want to kill everyone in Hogwarts now.

The camera panned over the faces of a famous professor and students. Almost everyone had tears on their faces, with either sad or angry expressions.

Perhaps the wizards were too absorbed in the scene, and the audience in the theater also raised their wands, wiped their tears silently, and even cried out loud when they saw this scene.

"Oh... Professor Dumbledore... he didn't even have time to drink a sip of water..."

Ron wiped his tears and raised his wand, and blew his nose at the end.

The atmosphere around was so heavy that Professor Grindelwald and Professor Dumbledore, the only two who did not raise their wands, felt for a moment that they were a bit out of place.

Professor Dumbledore couldn't help but look around, and found that Professor McGonagall beside him also raised her wand, and her face was full of grief and her eyes were wet, almost the same as Professor McGonagall in the movie.

"Ahem, Minerva!"

Professor Dumbledore couldn't help but whisper a reminder, and at the same time touched Professor McGonagall with his elbow.

It's okay for you to raise your wand, but what's wrong with this expression?

I'm still alive!

"Hmm? Oh! Albus... cough——"

Professor McGonagall, who was immersed in the plot of the movie, came back to her senses, couldn't help blushing, and quickly retracted her hand holding the wand to wipe the wet corners of her eyes:

"You can't blame me for this, it's just that this movie is too realistic, it feels like I'm really attending your funeral..."

Professor Dumbledore's eyes twitched.

Should I bow to you in return?

Amid the fairy-like cry of Fawkes, everyone's mourning for Professor Dumbledore came to an end.

The departure of Professor Dumbledore is indeed sad, but the enemy has not been eliminated yet, and the situation does not allow them to be immersed in sadness for too long.
