HP's return to innocence

Chapter 68 Funeral

The two families who lost their children did not have a family grave, so they held their funerals at the wizarding public cemetery in London.The first half of the funeral was held in the auditorium attached to the public cemetery, and the two coffins were placed side by side at the front of the auditorium.

The report of the "Daily Prophet" made the atmosphere of the funeral not only sad and dignified, but also another kind of undercurrent and turbulent weirdness.Because we still have to wait for the arrival of Fudge - he will preside over the funeral, so the funeral has not officially started. After comforting the parents of the two children in a stylized way, people gathered in small groups in the foyer outside the auditorium Gathered together, whispering.

Some of the children understood a little bit, and some were ignorant, but in this oppressive environment, even the most detached Gryffindor kept his mouth shut and obediently followed his parents.Of course Draco was no exception, but it didn't mean that he just stood around like other children. He quickly discovered a problem—the pure-blood nobles were split.

After Voldemort disappeared, the surviving aristocratic families were very united in most cases because they faced common difficulties.But now, in this public place, the nobles are clearly divided into two factions.

One faction revolves around his father, Lucius Malfoy, while the central figure of the other faction is Nott-so this is also in this second grade, although Theodore Nott obeyed in school His orders, but the reason for estranged from him in private.

Although he knew that before the spider incident, Lucius Malfoy's father was going through the most difficult period. After all, what he had to face was not just the forces of the Order of the Phoenix who thought he must have ulterior motives, and wanted to get money from their family Politician, while also facing the blame from the pure-blood nobles for his pro-Muggle behavior.

But knowing and seeing are completely different, especially when there are only a dozen or so families around the father, while the majority of Slytherins are on the other side.And his strike plan can be implemented smoothly, although Dumbledore's previous actions have violated the interests of the Slytherin students, and this is also beneficial to the entire Slytherin, but I believe his father must have something behind him. A lot of force.

Drake couldn't help sighing, but Lucius immediately reached out and patted his son's shoulder: "Are you tired, Xiaolong? You can sit down first."

Who is more tired?Draco protested a little in his heart, but who made his father more cunning than him?Or, a cunning and silly dad?And the mother is also not easy.

But Drake didn't refuse Lucius's proposal to rest, after all, it didn't make sense for him to continue following.Drinks and seating were offered on one side of the foyer, and the only son of Draco walked there—the Horcruxes were all left at home.

Holding a glass of ice water, Draco frowned and thought about what else he could do.A hesitant voice sounded after parting: "De...Draco?"

When he turned around, he saw the savior, and it seemed that the Weasley family had come to the funeral and brought the savior along.

"What's the matter, Mr. Potter?"

"Hagrid's a nice guy."

"What?" Draco wondered if his ears had misheard.

"Hagrid... are you going to throw him into Azkaban?" Although in the first grade, Harry had some "misunderstandings" about Headmaster Dumbledore, but later, because Headmaster Dumbledore gave him Extra points, let him get the Academy Cup, and what he saw and heard when he lived in the Weasleys during the holidays-the poor but warm family is almost what he dreamed of-let him let go of these misunderstandings, he is willing to believe , Principal Dumbledore is a kind old man who loves him and protects him.

Draco froze for a moment: "As far as I know, I'm the same age as you, Mr. Potter. Therefore, it's not me, a 12-year-old future student who is still studying at Hogwarts, who puts an adult in Azkaban. An adult wizard can do it."

"I don't like your tone, Draco." Harry frowned, this superficial modesty and politeness made him extremely disgusted, but he still preferred the enthusiasm and directness of the Weasleys.

"..." In this situation, is it back to the previous track?Draco looked at Harry silently, he never wanted to go against the savior, even when the savior came to his door, he tried to please him against his will.

Draco stood up, his blue-gray eyes so cold that Harry took an involuntary step back.

"I've never had any communication with that half-giant, so I don't know if he's a good guy or a bad guy. But what I do know is the fact that that guy raised acromantulas in the Forbidden Forest. So according to the laws of the magic world For him, Azkaban is his nobleman, so do you have any questions, Mr. Potter?"

Harry seemed to have just met Draco today - in a way, it was true - he looked at him in surprise and disbelief: "I thought... goodbye, Draco Malfoy!"

"Goodbye, Mr. Potter."

"What's the matter, Drake?" As soon as the savior left, Pansy and Blaise came to Drake's side. In fact, they had already come here, but just hid.

"Had a fight with the savior."

"Is it bad?"

"It doesn't matter now." Draco shrugged with a relaxed expression.

In the last life, the appearance of Voldemort killed Dumbledore and Harry Potter escaped death.But from another perspective, Voldemort actually saved these two people last time.No one is going to find out if Dumbledore did anything wrong before his death, or if Harry Potter did anything stupid.

What more could you ask for from an old man who gave his all to the cause of defeating the Dark Lord, and a savior who nearly gave his life?Apart from their heroic deeds, everything else is understandable and can be ignored.

This time, however, there was no Dark Lord to give them victory.Now, except for Slytherin's locket which is still temporarily "stored" in the Black Manor, all other Horcruxes have fallen into their hands-Draco didn't know that Harry Potter was also one of the Horcruxes, after all, Even the brave and fearless Gryffindor would not dare to leak out such news that could easily cause suspicion and panic.

Therefore, even if Voldemort appeared later, it was still under the control of the Malfoy family.In the future, there will only be Malfoy who defeats the Dark Lord, not a savior who defeats the Dark Lord.

Without the existence of the Demon Lord, a knight wielding a lance would not be a respected hero.It's Don Quixote, full of ridiculous fantasies.Therefore, Draco no longer needed to be as trembling as in the first grade. Even if he offended the savior, it was impossible to be completely safe, but it was definitely within the range he could handle.

After Pansy and Blaise, several senior Slytherins came over—the two-day trip to the amusement park for the whole school did not get the support of all the Slytherins, after all, there were some Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs are barely acceptable, but the bitch wizards among them...

But one-third of the staff is enough, especially Narcissa's Maternal Love Home has the support of many people.Of course, not all the noble ladies will participate, but the mothers and members of ordinary wizard families sign up enthusiastically.

In short, several children sat together and discussed the specific arrangements. In fact, they only need to safely send people to the amusement park from King’s Cross Station. After arriving, there will be a full-time tour guide in the amusement park, and then hand it over to professionals. That's it.

"Do we need to wear Muggle clothes?" a fifth year asked.

"It's fine to wear a wizard's robe, but because it's for fun, don't wear a formal dress. It's best to wear a robe suitable for action."

"Wouldn't that... be noticeable? I've heard Muggles always make a fuss."

"Don't worry, it won't. As long as it's time for school activities, Muggles will pay attention to it, but they won't pay too much attention."

"That's okay." Most of the Slytherins breathed a sigh of relief, but Draco didn't care about their thoughts. Perhaps it would be them wizards who made a fuss at that time, after all, Muggles are the ones who know everything. Dare to wear it~ Of course it’s better now, but ten years later...

Drake still remembers the photo of the zombie parade, which scared him to think that it was a ghost from a certain cave running out...

Half an hour later, Fudge finally arrived, and the funeral began.One of the episodes was that when Dumbledore came, he thought that the child's mother might have said something, but the child's father stopped him, and when Dumbledore finally took his seat, his face was not very good.

All this is quite normal, but when the last two children were buried, the Platinum couple found their son was crying...

"What's the matter, my little dragon?"

"Sand got in the eyes." One of the Gryffindors was very short, and his coffin was about the size of a little scorpion.Moreover, that child was just an ordinary wizard afterwards, and he had no enmity or interests with the Malfoy family. The moment the dirt fell on the coffin, Draco felt guilty for the first time.

But he can only say sorry to that child hypocritically and shamelessly in his heart, so that in the future my parents will not cry, and my son will not lie in the cold ground at a young age, so today I can only...

Wizards don't believe in God and Satan, nor do they believe in heaven and hell, but Draco has long since abandoned his belief in Merlin, because that guy obviously prefers Gryffindor.But that night, sitting at his desk, Drake prayed to that Muggle god and demon, no matter who it is, if you hear it, please remember, let him bear all the sins!

After three days of busy preparations, everything was finally ready for the Hogwarts student outing.

Just as Drake thought, this spider incident really frightened the parents of many little wizards with little blemishes. The professor who came to pick up the children in the first grade told them that "Hogwarts is the oldest magic school in Britain." Academy” where they ensure that the children receive the best education possible.And the children from the school do always praise the magnificence and magic of the wizarding world to their parents.

But a spider the size of a car and eating two of their classmates is less glamorous.No matter how bad a school is in the Muggle world, students won't be dragged away and eaten by wild animals, right?

Many parents have already considered transferring their children to another school in the new semester. At this time, the owls sent the invitation letter.

The wording of the invitation letter is very strict, but also very humble and sincere.First of all, I would like to apologize to the parents for what happened, and second, I would like to say that the magic world is still very safe. Finally, I understand that such a simple statement cannot express my sincerity. I hope that the parents can take their children to a part of the magic world—Malfoy Paradise - come and see, and at the same time, you can communicate with wizard parents.

In fact, some parents have already brought their children to visit this place. When Drake was in the first grade, he distributed a lot of coupons.For Muggle parents, there's little appeal in going free for two days when the children are likely to be in danger.However, the later exchange with wizard parents made them very interested. After all, the children were still very reluctant to leave that magical world.

Take the advice of real wizards, if it was just a sudden coincidence then they would not be willing to force their children out of their schools.

Therefore, Drake, who was named at the station, was surprised to find that all the pure Muggle parents had arrived—not almost, but indeed quite a few.Some of the mixed races didn't come.Of pure blood, only one-third of Slytherins came, only a few Gryffindors came, a little more than half of Hufflepuffs came, and almost all Ravenclaws came.

It was an interesting scene, too, with students and parents in all kinds of wizarding robes, and students and parents in Muggle clothes all together.The parents all looked at each other with curious eyes, and the students started chatting about something.

The Muggles who came and went were also watching curiously, but as Drake said, when they saw the children in the crowd, they naturally thought it was a parent-child activity of some school.Some Muggles even came over and asked where the school was, because although those robes looked a little old, they were really pretty...

After confirming that almost everyone who was supposed to come has already arrived, everyone started to get in the car. Regarding the issue of pick-up and drop-off vehicles, Lucius’ opinion is to drive the car out of his garage...Draco immediately stopped it embarrassingly.

A dozen high-end cars running in a row on the street is already conspicuous enough. If each of these dozen cars has [-] to [-] passengers, it will be even more conspicuous.Drake simply asked Lucius to find some employees to rent a few luxury buses.

The crowd has all boarded the car, and some people, as well as a car, will stay here, waiting for parents and students who may be late.Drake finally got into the car too, but it might be a coincidence, the one sitting next to the last empty seat in the car was Coronet.
