Noticing that Elwyn and Harry had stopped, Hagrid impatiently urged them again. He had become a little irritated.
Although he stubbornly believed that Dumbledore would be fine, Elwyn and Harry's words, as well as Elwyn's Twin Snake Cane, were constantly stimulating Hagrid's increasingly sensitive nerves.
The news that Dumbledore was dead had taken root in his mind and could not be erased. It was as if the sky had fallen.
The light in the darkness had disappeared, and the world would be shrouded in endless sorrow and despair.
Elwyn, Harry, and Hagrid silently moved forward. The oak door of the castle was open in front of them, and the light shone on the driveway and lawn.
Slowly, the people in pajamas walked down the stairs in confusion, looking around nervously for traces of the Death Eaters who had escaped in the night.
In addition, the terrible news spread quickly among the crowd.
It was silent, but everyone seemed to know.
Just now, Elwyn and Hermione were not the only ones who saw Dumbledore fall from the Astronomy Tower.
Many people came out. They were sleepy and were awakened by the sound of fighting coming from the castle, not knowing what had happened.
Then, they saw the terrible scene without any preparation.
Under the shining Mark of Dark Magic, Dumbledore fell from the highest tower of the castle …
Many people were looking for evidence to prove all this, but no one found Dumbledore's body.
That scene seemed like an illusion. It was like a dream, the worst nightmare of all.
But this did not make people feel much safer. Gradually, as the members of the Order of the Phoenix joined the search team, uneasiness and panic began to spread.
Strange music sounded in the darkness and soon spread throughout the Hogwarts.
The Phoenix was singing a sad elegy in a way that the wizards had never heard before. It was like listening to the Phoenix's song before, but this elegy sounded in everyone's mind, not in reality.
The sorrow turned into a dirge, echoing in the school grounds and the castle windows.
Everyone heard it, even the craziest Death Eater shed tears.
"The song of a phoenix is magical. They will only grieve when they lose their closest friends."
A hoarse voice sounded beside Elwyn. He turned around and saw a blackness darker than the night. It was Keresis Slytherin.
He held Elaine's hand and walked over. Keresis's body was covered with battle scars. His face was bleeding and his elegant robe was torn.
"I've never heard of the Elegy of the Phoenix." "Hogwarts, only one person's death would make the Phoenix so sad. Without a doubt, we have lost one of the greatest wizards tonight."
Under the effects of the Phoenix Elegy, accepting the fact that Dumbledore was dead was not that difficult.
Even if the body was not found in the end, there were still so many witnesses who saw Dumbledore fall.
Harry's testimony played a key role. His testimony filled in the details of what happened at the observatory and explained Snape's abnormal behavior.
At the same time, the captured Death Eater could not wait to spread the story of how Snape killed Dumbledore, as if he was afraid that no one would know.
After meeting Elwyn and Harry in the school hospital, Professor Meg announced the news in front of everyone.
Obviously, Dumbledore had made the arrangements before he died. However, other than Elwyn and Harry, no one knew that Dumbledore had only left. Everyone thought he was really dead.
Because of the terrifying magic of the Double Serpent Wand, he did not even leave a corpse behind.
Professor Meg took away the Old Wand from Elwyn. This was the most direct proof of Dumbledore's death.
A wizard would only throw away his wand when he was defeated or dead.
It was impossible for anyone to defeat Dumbledore, not even Lord Voldemort. He was just killed by a despicable sneak attack …
Accepting the fact that Dumbledore was dead was not as easy as it seemed. No matter how many people saw it, no one found Dumbledore's body in the end.
Compared to death, people were more willing to believe that Dumbledore had disappeared or left for some reason, just like he always did.
Even if this thought was illogical, many people stubbornly believed it.
Not only the students and Hagrid, but also many professors and members of the Order of the Phoenix, such as Sirius Blake.
Elwyn could never forget Sirius's frantic expression when they said that Dumbledore was dead.
A quarter of an hour ago, in the sorrowful dirge of the Phoenix, Elwyn, Harry, Hermione, and Elaine were taken to the school hospital.
Many people were there. Ginny sat next to Ron's bed. He was affected by the explosion in the Astronomy Tower, but his injuries were not serious. Pomfrey believed that he would fully recover.
In addition, Professor Flitwick was also knocked out.
The most seriously injured was Mad-eyed Moody. He was already very old, and he was in a hurry to climb the Astronomy Tower, so he was hit by three curses at the same time.
However, he was still alive. Only three Death Eaters had died in the battle. Two of them were hit by the Killing Curse, and the remaining one fell to his death while escaping.
Right, there was also the Ronin Fenrir Greyback, who was killed by Elwyn. He was probably the one who died the most miserably.
Speaking of Greyback, Bill had to be mentioned.
On the way to Gryffindor's Tower, Greyback met Bill and attacked him.
Fortunately, Greyback was focused on seeking revenge on Elwyn and did not bite Bill, so there was no need to worry about him turning into a werewolf.
As soon as Elwyn and the rest entered the ward, they were embraced by Sirius.
After a few months, he was much thinner than before, and his hair was messy. He looked a bit like when they first met him three years ago.
There was no joy or reunion after a long separation. The air was still filled with sadness.
The topic quickly shifted to the Phoenix Elegy and Dumbledore's death. When Elwyn confirmed that Dumbledore was dead, Sirius completely lost control!
"Impossible!" he shouted. "He can't be dead! No one can kill Dumbledore! "
Lupin also lost control, but he did not cry out. He covered his face with his hands and slumped on the chair.
Elwyn had never seen Lupin like this before. He turned around as if he had seen something shameful. He could not tell them the truth.
Elwyn noticed that Harry also lowered his head and held Ginny's hand silently.
After Sirius vented for a while, the conversation continued, but not for long.
When Sirius found out that it was Snape who killed Dumbledore, he rushed out in a frenzy, and Tonks hurriedly followed.
Although the others did not react as strongly as Sirius, they seemed to find it hard to believe this difficult truth.
