The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 626 Sleepless Night
No matter who it is, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and the students returned to the common room under the leadership of the prefects.The Aurors also dispersed, either setting up guards to defend Hogwarts, or returning to the Ministry of Magic for duty.Aurors can't wait to use one as two.

Dumbledore's body was taken away by Hagrid, who was crying like a child who hadn't grown up.It was Dumbledore who would get expelled and he stayed at the school, it was Dumbledore who made him a gamekeeper, it was still Dumbledore who offered him the professorship.

Ada vaguely remembered when Hagrid was last angry.At that time, Karkaroff disrespected Dumbledore very much, and spit, the furious half-blood giant almost tore Karkaroff alive.That was the only time Ada could remember him being angry.

Suddenly, the song of the phoenix came to my ears. The elegy was sad and moving, and the sadness echoed in the campus and the windows of the castle.

Whenever Dumbledore needs it, the phoenix will appear.Now that the man who called the Phoenix is ​​gone, it is time for Fox to leave.

The crowd dispersed, and Ada also walked towards the castle.Walking up the steps and entering the foyer, the huge funnel belonging to Gryffindor had been damaged, and the scattered rubies were put away by Filch, making it look empty.

A sense of right and wrong arises spontaneously, and Ada also becomes sentimental on this night.Shaking her head to dispel the sorrow in her heart, she continued to walk towards the marble stairs.

When Ida walked into the school infirmary, Neville Longbottom was sleeping on the bed by the door, and Ron, Ginny, Hermione, Luna, Tonks, Lupine and Celestia sat around the innermost sheet Beside the bed, Mrs. Weasley and Fleur were crying together.

Walking over, just taking a look at the wound on Bill's face, Ada understood.

The handsome eldest son of the Weasley family is disfigured. Although he will not become a werewolf, these horrific scars will accompany him for a lifetime.

Seeing Ada approaching, Ron gave up his position for a rare moment of insight.Fleur resumed prescribing Bill, clumsily but seriously.

As a friend in adversity, Bill was unfortunately bitten by the werewolf Greyback, but fortunately he was not abandoned by anyone.

Mrs. Weasley turned to hug Ida, sobbing softly, and Ida put her arms around her shoulders, comforting her softly.Boggart of Grimmauld Place, that's Mrs. Weasley's heart knot. Her eldest son almost died tonight, and she couldn't stop her tears.

After a while, Lupine and Sirius whispered about the future of the school, and Lupine was worried that Hogwarts would be closed.What happened tonight was far more serious than that year in the Chamber of Secrets. The headmaster of Hogwarts was murdered by his teachers at school, which was too appalling.

"It's all Snape's fault, you bloody bastard!" Little Tian Langxing cursed in a low voice, "Not only killed James and Lily, but also killed Dumbledore! He trusted him so much, White-eyed Wolf!"

It seemed that they already knew about Snape's leak of the "prophecy".Sirius and Lupine knew, and Harry couldn't possibly not have known, probably because he had told them.

"You can always trust Severus Snape, no matter what he does next."

The words are still in my ears, but the speaker has passed away.Ada trusts Snape as much as Dumbledore, not because of the unbreakable oath, nor because of the care she has taken for herself over the years, but because Ada has seen his burden.

Withdrawing her scattered thoughts, Ada suddenly noticed that Tonks had been staring at Lupine.And Lupine has been avoiding Tonks' gaze, using the excuse of chatting with Sirius not to respond, only sneaking a glance occasionally.

Just like the eyes of wanting to kill someone, the eyes of loving someone can't be hidden. I think Lupine and Tonks will have sugar soon.Maybe the timing wasn't right, but Dumbledore wouldn't mind.

Not long after, Percy, Fred, and George who received the news also rushed over.The twins gritted their back molars, and after learning that Greyback had died at Ida's hands, the two brothers put away their cannibalistic faces.

Percy took Ada aside and told her about meeting the Hogwarts trustee when he came.In particular, the school directors seemed to be in a bad mood, and they seemed to be asking for guilt.

After speaking, Percy awkwardly greeted Lupine, Sirius, and Tonks, and then sat beside his mother without saying a word.

Ada walked out of the school infirmary, only her footsteps were heard in the empty corridor, she wanted to see which blind bastard dared to embarrass Minerva McGonagall!
At Hogwarts, the headmaster is the administrator of the school, and the vice-headmaster is the assistant.When the principal becomes incapacitated, the vice-principal acts temporarily as the principal until the Board of Trustees elects a new principal.

The Hogwarts school board is composed of 12 members, all of whom have certain social status. Lucius Malfoy was once a member of the school board. The most important power they hold is the authority over the headmaster. Appoint and remove.

Walking all the way to the eighth floor, standing at the door of the room behind the stone monster, Ada could clearly hear the discussions in the office.

"We hope that Professor Dumbledore can rest in Hogwarts." This was Professor McGonagall's voice, which Ada was familiar with, and she hadn't heard it for a long time.

An unfamiliar oily voice said, "What does the Ministry say, Mr. Weasley?"

"The Ministry has no problem with that," said Mr. Weasley. "As Professor Flitwick said, Hogwarts should be Dumbledore's final resting place."

"But...the school has existed for a thousand years," said another strange voice, he sounded hesitant, "there has never been a principal buried on the campus. It's a bit..."

Hagrid should have been standing right by the door, because his growls made Ada's ears ring—

"There has never been a headmaster who has made such a great contribution to the school!" Hagrid growled, "Dumbledore is a great wizard!"

At this time, an old voice sounded in the office, he said: "I agree with Professor McGonagall, every student should remember their principal."

"But..." the annoying oily voice said again.

"Nothing but!" the old man said loudly, "He is Albus Dumbledore, and his contributions are worthy of Hogwarts!"

After a while, the tripartite meeting of the Ministry of Magic, the school board, and the professors ended.Dumbledore's grave was set at Hogwarts, and the students would go home after attending the funeral, and the school would resume as usual on September [-].

The door of the office was opened from the inside, and the first person to come out was Hagrid, holding a large and wrinkled handkerchief in his hand, his huge body shaking with sadness.

Then came the three representatives of the school board, two well-dressed middle-aged men, and an old man with gray beard and sad face.When they saw Ada, the two middle-aged men showed a look of fear.

The three heads representing Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin also came out one after another.

Slughorn, pale and sweating, gave Ida a surprised look before leaving; Professor Flitwick had a large bruise on his forehead, and he nodded at Ada as he left ;Professor Sprout left while wiping away tears, she seemed to want to make herself look stronger.

The last person to leave the office was Mr. Weasley.

Mr. Weasley with a tired face touched the top of Ida's head like a father. His smile was the first comfort Ida received tonight.

Walking into the principal's office, the round room is still the same, the sorting hat, and those silver utensils.It's just... Fox's perch is empty, and there are more portraits of past principals on the wall.

Professor McGonagall stood at the window, gazing out at the field.

Hearing the footsteps coming from the door, Professor McGonagall turned around, her eyes turned red instantly, and she said in a trembling voice, "Come back... Just come back, just come back."
