Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Chapter 940 [Chapter 5] 25

At Dumbledore's funeral, Liu Quan's appearance caused a whisper.

Liu Quan knew why.

She has always been well aware of the gossip that those curious Hufflepuff badgers are spreading in the school - isn't the real Lily finally unable to restrain herself, asking her to question her, thus revealing her identity? ——Most people will now think of her as the backbone of the Order of the Phoenix who was deeply trusted by Dumbledore, who was born in Gryffindor, and who once had a relationship with the despicable Death Eater who killed Dumbledore, from Slater Lin's executioner, Severus Snape, nearly got engaged; so how should she handle herself at Dumbledore's funeral?And how should we face other people's curiosity and questions?

Liu Quan decided to face all this with the most ordinary and normal attitude.She sat in the teacher's bench next to Professor Trelawney and Professor Sprout whose eyes were red from crying, and also wiped the tears on her face frequently with a red-gold handkerchief.

Even though she had known for a long time that Dumbledore would eventually die at the end of Harry's sixth year, she still felt dazed and sad when that day came.In this world, the only person who partially knew her biggest secret disappeared, and if she had any questions to ask or solve in the future, it would be impossible for her to turn to him for help.

He is the biggest reliance in everyone's heart, but this reliance was broken so neatly, and he didn't even give others a little time to prepare mentally.Her heart is full of grief for Dumbledore's death and incomprehensible loss and sentimentality about their future fate, which makes it especially difficult for her to control her emotions.Her eye sockets and nose soon became as red and swollen as all the ladies present.

The funeral passed in her daze, and when people got up and left one after another, Liu Quan also stood up and went to the courtyard, and then she heard Hermione, Luna, Ron, Lupine, Tonks and others standing Chatting in a corner.

"...I'm so stupid!" whispered Hermione in a thin voice, "He said Professor Flitwick was collapsed and we should go in and take care of it, while he went - and he went to help fight the Death Eaters - —”

She covered her face in shame, and continued through her fingers, so her voice was a bit muffled.

"We went into his office to see if we could help Professor Flitwick, and he was lying unconscious on the floor... It seems obvious now that Snape must have cast the Stunning Charm on Flitwick, but we didn't Realized... that we let Snape go!"

"It's not your fault," Lupine said firmly. "Hermione, if you hadn't listened to Snape and moved away, he might have killed you and Luna."

Luna looked at a certain place with erratic eyes, and said suddenly: "Maybe he didn't want to kill us, just like he didn't kill Professor Evans."

"What are you talking about, Luna?" Ron asked in disbelief. "Are you saying that old bat will show mercy to the lady?"

Tonks thought about it and said: "... Dumbledore told us not to go to Lily to guard Hogwarts with him that day. He said that Lily had another task... Could it be that he wanted Lily to go and live with Snape?"

Liu Quan's footsteps stopped.

Dumbledore hadn't given her any mission at all that day.She hid in various parts of the castle for almost a whole day, monitoring the movements of Draco Malfoy, who has become more and more suspicious recently——even if this was not what Dumbledore told her to do, it was her own. Know the exact process of the development of the story, and then do it automatically and spontaneously.

She had no doubt that Dumbledore knew what she was doing, but why didn't he tell her to come out and do what a key member of the Order of the Phoenix should do when he took Harry away from Hogwarts to find the fake locket? Duty, to protect the safety of Hogwarts?Could it be that he still wanted to save the last bit of decency for her and Snape, the two former fiancées who almost got married?It was the romantic side of his character that broke out suddenly at this moment, thinking that if she stood in front of Snape at the last moment, it would affect Snape's firm will to continue acting according to the script they had agreed upon in advance, What flaws or opportunities were discovered by other Death Eaters when he hesitated on the spot?

Liu Quan's head hurt from thinking about it, and then she decided not to think about it anymore.

Everyone here has never understood what Dumbledore wanted to do.Including her.Even if he was just a character in a book or a movie, his wisdom was beyond her comprehension.

She retracted her thoughts and heard Hermione say, "But... just imagine how Professor Evans is feeling right now, Ron! I mean, it's been rumored that they were almost engaged to... a Gryffindor Marrying a Slytherin is scary enough! And now Snape killed Dumbledore! Professor Evans was always on our side, don't you forget?"

Reluctantly, Ron put his head down and replied with a grunt, "Uh... of course. But... third year at the Screaming Shack, you know, the time Sirius grabbed me and bit me... ...Harry was going to use the Disarming Charm on the old bat, didn't Professor Evans still... defend the old bat? Of course I'm not saying she's going to take Snape's side, it's just that... uh, woman, you know ..."

Hermione seemed irritated by his words, she put her hips on her hips and shouted angrily: "Women! What about women, Ronald Weasley! At that time, in our eyes, Snape was just a professor at Hogwarts! Of course Harry was wrong to try to attack him! Professor Evans was just doing the right thing! She was just as wrong as Dumbledore in believing him!  …”

Liu Quan decided that he should not listen any more.

She took a deep breath, put on the expression she had just walked here, walked over and said, "So you are all here—"

Those people were all taken aback, but they immediately put on a warm welcome to her as if they were afraid of her overthinking, which made Liu Quan feel particularly awkward.

They exchanged pleasantries and chatted innocuously, and Liu Quan congratulated Lupine and Tonks, and saw the embarrassment on their faces as expected, which made Liu Quan smile.Then she noticed the others exchanged glances and elbowed each other, as if none of their responses to the subject had been appropriate enough, and they were worried about hurting her feelings.Everyone's expressions became cautious.

Liu Quan froze for a moment, then suddenly showed a big smile.

"Oh, come on, everyone." She clapped her hands forward indifferently, as if she wanted to pat away the unnatural smell that filled the air. "I know what you're thinking, but I guess Harry also told you all about the encounter outside the Forbidden Forest?  … What I said then still stands. I chose my way, he chose I can't pretend any longer, I must act.—That's it."

After she finished speaking, she looked around at the people around her with a certain expression.She was almost relieved to see everyone, and the ladies even looked at her with a kind of sympathy; but no one spoke to her as carefully as before, as if she were a fragile porcelain doll. .

"Uh... maybe you'd like to come to our house to attend Bill and Fleur's wedding during the summer vacation?" Ron straightened his upper body and said immediately after being elbowed hard by Hermione.

As soon as this topic came up, everyone seemed to be alive immediately, looking forward to the grand occasion of "a beautiful wedding" in disorder, and looking forward to Liu Quan, as if it would be a great regret if she was absent.

Liu Quan lowered his head and thought for less than a second, then looked up at the flushed Ron, and said with a smile: "Of course. Your invitation is really a gentleman, how can I refuse, Mr. Weasley?"

Ron mumbled something in his throat and gave Liu Quan a nervous smile.Everyone laughed because of this. After a dignified funeral, it seemed that this wedding could save everyone's mood from the abyss of despair.

Finally, Liu Quan came to a conclusion.

"It's nice that the good things in the world are still there after we've gone through such a loss. Darkness can't kill them."

……

Harry Potter's seventh year at Hogwarts felt dark and dangerous from the very beginning.

First, Bill and Fleur's wedding was raided by Death Eaters, and Harry, Ron and Hermione escaped the Death Eaters' pursuit in a very embarrassing situation.Almost at the same time, the Ministry of Magic was bloodbathed by Death Eaters, and Minister Scrimgeour was killed.Harry, Ron and Hermione hid at 12 Grimmauld Place, where they obtained the real locket Horcrux left by Regulus Black through Kreacher, the old and arrogant house-elf of the Black family The whereabouts of - it's just that they haven't had a good way to get it back for a while.

Moreover, the monitoring and hunting of members of the Order of the Phoenix and wizards who might help Harry Potter by the Death Eaters and the Ministry of Magic already controlled by the Death Eaters is still not over.When the first day of September rolled around—and that's when Hogwarts usually started—there was a story in the Daily Prophet, complete with giant photographs.

Severus Snape officially takes over as Headmaster of Hogwarts.Meanwhile, Amycus Carlo is announced as the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.The former Muggle Studies teacher has resigned and will be replaced by Amycus' sister, Alecto Carlo.

"'I am delighted to have the opportunity to uphold the best of our magical traditions and values—'Just kill people and cut off ears, I suppose! Snape, Headmaster! Snape is sitting in Dumbledore's office—Merlin's Pants!" Hermione yelled angrily, slammed the newspaper on the table, jumped up from the table, and rushed out of the kitchen, shouting, "I'll be right back!"

Harry and Ron looked at each other, and Ron seemed amused, "'Merlin's pants!'? ... She must be mad." He pulled the newspaper in front of him, perusing the article on Snape.

"The Carlos are Death Eaters!" Harry said angrily, pulling up a chair, "there are pictures in the newspaper, and they were at the top of the tower when Snape killed Dumbledore, so they're punks." Dang! Besides, I see other teachers at Hogwarts have no choice but to stay and teach. If the Ministry of Magic and Voldemort are Snape's backers, then either stay and teach, or go to Azkaban for a few days Years—that's kind of a stroke of luck. I reckon they'll stick around and try to protect the students."

Newspapers were spread out on the table, and the familiar hooked-nosed, dark-haired man glared at them from the large photograph.

"'The former Muggle Studies teacher has resigned'?!" Harry pulled the newspaper away from Ron, reread the news, and found something wrong, "Where did Professor Evans go?! You know her A while ago, she even came to attend Bill and Fleur's wedding! Although the wedding was destroyed by Death Eaters, we don't know her whereabouts... But she is by no means the kind who leaves students and other colleagues behind because of the dangerous situation Coward! . . . "

Ron's face also became serious. "Yeah... What happened to Professor Evans? What happened to her?!"

The two of them exchanged glances, both feeling the urgency of the situation.Then Hermione returned, panting, dragging a huge picture frame to the floor, grabbed her beaded pouch from the kitchen cupboard, opened it, and stuffed the picture inside.Although the picture frame was obviously too big, it disappeared into Xiaobao's extremely spacious stomach like so many things after a few seconds.

The author has something to say:
