A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 321: eulogy
, update the latest chapter of a certain Hogwarts rune professor as soon as possible!
More people came, not only the relatives of the Black family, some officials from the Ministry of Magic also came, and some friends of Felix, he even saw the woman Rita Skeeter She stood low-key aside, and since her Animagus was exposed, she has been listed as the most unpopular reporter.
Sirius didn't know this woman well, so he probably didn't know the information, but Harry was reminding him in a low voice.
The funeral ceremony has officially begun.
Green grass was lush, and Regulus' coffin was surrounded by flowers. He lay quietly inside, his angular face was full of peace, as if he was in a deep sleep. He wore an emerald green robe embroidered with the family crest of the Black family, and the corner of the coffin was engraved with the Black family motto written in French: Forever pure.
Looking at the solemn faces in the audience, Sirius knew that there was a tough battle to be fought today, but the protagonist might not be him. He took a deep breath and calmly read the eulogy.
"Thank you for coming. Among you, there are old friends and in-laws of the Black family, as well as my friends, teachers, and wizards with reputations in various industries."
"I have heard that the life span of a person is not only the days he lived, but also the time he remains in people's memory after his death. The image in people's memory is also very important, from a polite nobleman to the follower of the devil who started the war... It would be extremely unfair to just freeze here. I am honored that today, At the funeral of my brother, Regulus Arcturus Black, proclaiming his merits, he gave his life to the great cause of fighting the Dark Lord, on the long and lonely road He showed courage and persistence far beyond ordinary people."
He ignored the commotion in the audience, and read it in one breath——
"His exploits were witnessed by Albus Dumbledore and Felix Heap, who will speak after me... Regulus was an excellent seeker at school Hand, bring honor to his college, he treats people with sincerity, integrity, enthusiasm, and courtesy..."
Sirius finished his eulogy and stepped off the stage. Harry comforted him softly. He shook his head and looked at Dumbledore.
The guests discussed one after another, and they were shocked by what Sirius said. Some people sneered: "Is this trying to reverse the case for my brother?" And more people stared at Dumbledore. Speaking of himself, then Dumbledore's next speech will be extremely weighty.
Dumbledore nodded slightly, stepped forward, and expressed his opinion: "Reculus Arcturus Black, showed us the growth process of a young man. In his childhood , he was most influenced by his family and parents, and he took this imprint into school and made friends..."
"He has come into contact with more new viewpoints and learned to think. He may be immature or naive, but we should not ignore his growth in the process and the potential he has shown. When he walked out of school , saw the reality of the world with his own eyes, reality and ideals collided fiercely in his mind. At this time, we saw how a noble soul thinks: do the right thing, and don't care about yourself. He must be with his brain Some deep-rooted ideas in the world fight, fight alone, and win in the end.”
"He recognized Voldemort's face and gave a head-on blow. He died in obscurity, but we will not forget this young and hot soul who is only 18 years old."
"War has never been far away from us. Maybe one day, it will suddenly break out in a way we didn't expect, and as long as we have a breath, we will not stop fighting. When we hold the magic wand, those who are for love and for the people He will bring us countless spiritual wealth.”
Dumbledore's words caused even bigger waves. Rita Skeeter hid herself in a corner, took out a quill and parchment from her pocket, and was so excited that a circle of fine sweat appeared on her nose. Fly quickly.
Felix walked over: "Rita, a hero must not be slandered."
Rita Skeeter's body froze, and she smiled immediately: "Of course, Mr. Haipu intends to reveal more inside information?" She crumpled the parchment calmly.
"You are good at making up stories. As long as you don't slander Regulus, I have no other opinions."
Rita Skeeter stuffed the end of the quill into her mouth and kept sucking. In just a few seconds, she thought of something, and her eyes lit up: "I plan to use the perspective of Regulus How do you feel about writing the Dark Lord in the eyes of Death Eaters, from worship to disillusionment?"
Felix gave her a surprised look: "Aren't you afraid of being retaliated?"
"Sir, the true fanatical followers of the Dark Lord are all in Azkaban, and the outsiders are just a bunch of cowards." Rita Skeeter said contemptuously, "A bunch of scumbags, you can't find a better one." Words describe them."
"I look forward to reading your masterpiece," said Felix.
On the other side, some people have already begun to question Dumbledore——
"Dumbledore, are you telling the truth?" Barty Crouch frowned. It was once accepted that Regulus joined the Death Eaters, as his parents did not shy away from it. However, the Ministry of Magic did not try Regulus after the war, because he had disappeared long before that, and even the arrested Death Eaters didn't know what happened, maybe they died in some evil , Maybe he offended the Dark Lord and was killed.
"On my honour," said Dumbledore, smiling.
"Do you have any evidence?" Barty Crouch said, "If there is no evidence, the Ministry of Magic will not admit—"
Sirius said coldly: "My brother didn't fight Voldemort for your recognition."
Barty Crouch's face twitched violently. It was he who had approved Sirius' life imprisonment ban without trial, and after thirteen years, he was proved innocent.
Tonks leaned over and whispered to Lupine beside him: "There have been a lot of rumors in the Ministry recently, and the old things are brought up again, saying that Mr. Crouch's current position is due to a vicious heart, In addition to the illegal trial of Sirius, he also imprisoned his son in Azkaban without evidence, and all this is for the position of Minister of Magic."
"The Wizengamot has considered withdrawing his membership."
Lupine moved aside helplessly, he was not very used to this kind of intimate conversation.
Soon, Felix stood in front of everyone. He glanced around for a week, and when the discussion quieted down, he said, "I agree with what Sirius and Principal Dumbledore said earlier, so there is no need to repeat them. I happened to hear it today In a word, let me share it with you..."
"Someone told me that people should learn to look forward instead of dwelling on the past. The world will eventually move forward." He said softly, "It makes sense..."
"We always do things based on our own judgments about the future, thinking that only we can see clearly and see far. But the problem is, we all look forward, so who will see the future become reality? "
He glanced at Lucius Malfoy, who was standing expressionlessly with his wife and son in his arms, still pondering what Felix had just said to him.
"I have never experienced war, but I am also deeply affected by war. In my opinion, every war is a collision of different wills, sincere, passionate, selfless, and cruel, despicable, and greedy. of..."
Felix spoke softly, but instead his eyes gouged out a handful of people like knives.
"From past experience, when faced with a choice, some people are calculating and mercenary;
"But fortunately ~IndoMTL.com~ still has a group of people who chose to stand up when the crisis was approaching, regardless of their own safety, and protect everything they cherish."
All eyes were on his eyes, wanting to see his deepest thoughts, but Felix just said unhurriedly: "I am curious, friends, when the choice comes again , are you ready? Which side will you choose?"
"Felix Hemp! What are you advocating!"
A fat wizard growled, his voice distorted with fear: "You want to give orders, order us! And that crazy old man, full of lies, I shouldn't be in this damn—"
His words stopped abruptly, his fat body trembled, and he made a "ho ho" sound, and then he twitched and fell down. In just a few seconds, he was pulled into the thinking cabin by Felix Seven times, the superficial consciousness was burned with blazing flames. Although it was only a projection of the real consciousness, these painful feelings were real. He will be in bed for at least two weeks.
"...I saw what I thought was the future and decided to commit myself to it, no matter what obstacles I faced, I was ready." Felix ended his speech.
