Soon, the door of the ward was opened again.
A haggard Professor Meg walked in. She had battle scars on her body, some scratches on her face, and her robe was torn.
"What's going on? Fox the Phoenix is not normal, he kept crying sadly. And Sirius, he just ran into the room where the Death Eaters were imprisoned, screaming, and asked where Professor Snape was. He seemed to be agitated, "she said." The castle is in a mess. Where is Professor Dumbledore? Many people said they saw him fall from the tower. Harry, Tonks told me that you were with Professor Dumbledore. She also said that Professor Snape seemed to be involved in something. "
She asked a lot of questions in a row, as if she did not know about it.
"Dumbledore is dead, Professor!"
"Snape killed Dumbledore," Harry said.
Meg stared at him for a while, and then started to sway anxiously.
Madam Pomfrey ran a few steps forward, conjured a chair with magic, and placed it behind Meg.
"You said that Snape … killed Dumbledore?"
Harry nodded silently. He did not want to say this anymore.
Every time he mentioned it, his anger would be the same as the uncontrollable Sirius.
He wanted to kill Snape immediately, even though Elwyn had told him that it was all planned.
After so long, not only did Harry not calm down, his hatred was even more unforgettable.
He thought about the scene when Snape killed Dumbledore, and what Snape had said when he was fighting him.
About his father, the half-blood prince, and the anger of Snape …
Harry did not care if this was part of the plan. He knew that he hated Snape more than Lord Voldemort.
"I can't believe it," Professor Meg murmured. "Arbus had a premonition of his death. He told me that he was performing a dangerous spell, a spell left behind by Salazar Slytherin, the founder of Hogwarts. But I didn't expect, I didn't expect …"
"Dumbledore used the Twin Snake Staff." Elwyn said, pointing at the magic scepter surrounded by giant pythons beside the bed. "The Double Serpent Scepter is a legendary magic item left behind by Salazar Slytherin. It has extremely powerful magic power, and one has to pay a great price to use it. Dumbledore has already lost his magic. After he died, his body was also devoured by magic! "
There was another long silence. Everyone in the room seemed to agree with Elwyn's statement.
They looked at the Twin Snake Staff, and looked at the two giant green pythons with their eyes closed with suspicion and fear.
Soon, the topic turned back to Dumbledore's death.
"Sigh, I thought of Dumbledore … but I didn't expect it to be Snape who killed him."
"Snape is a superb master of brain sealing," Lupin said. Lupin said. His voice was harsh and very different from usual. "This is a fact that we all know."
"But Dumbledore swore that he was on our side. I always thought that Dumbledore must have known something about Snape that we didn't know …"
"He always hinted that he had an unbreakable reason to trust Snape," Professor Meg said sadly, wiping tears from the corners of his eyes with a checkered handkerchief. "I mean, from Snape's historical performance … of course, everyone would have doubts about him. But Dumbledore clearly told me that Snape's repentance was absolutely from the heart. He didn't want to hear any bad words about him!"
"I'd like to know how Snape convinced him."
"I know!" Harry said angrily. Everyone turned to stare at him. "Snape once leaked information to the Lord Voldemort, which led to the Lord Voldemort to kill my parents. Then Snape told Dumbledore that he didn't realize the consequences of his actions. He was very sorry that he leaked the information. He felt sorry for their deaths. "
His voice grew louder as he spoke. When he thought of what he saw in Snape's memory, a strong hatred surged. He could no longer care about what Elwyn had told him, nor did he care about the fact that Dumbledore was going to leave this world tonight.
Harry felt betrayed like never before. Snape used the death of his parents to gain Dumbledore's trust.
He had clearly repented, but now it turned out that everything was fake.
"He said he felt sorry, and Dumbledore believed him?!" Lupin asked incredulously. "Just because he said that, Dumbledore believed that Snape felt sorry for Jaime's death? Oh my God, Snape has always hated Jaime … "
"And he thought my mother was worthless!" Harry said. "Because she was born of a Muggle, he called her 'mudspawn' …"
No one doubted Harry's statement, and no one asked Harry how he knew all this. Everyone was lost in horror and shock, trying to accept the absurd truth that had happened. Elwyn opened his mouth, but in the end, he said nothing. Snape had hidden his love for Harry's mother too well.
He couldn't explain how he knew this, and even if he did, no one would believe him.
It was not time to tell the truth. Snape had suffered so much.
His and Dumbledore's plan had come to an end, and Elwyn just needed to let nature take its course.
Was the truth needed now?
No, what was needed now was to let everyone believe that Dumbledore was dead, that he was betrayed and killed by Snape.
No one spoke anymore. Great sorrow hung over the Hogwarts.
Fawkes' Elegy was still echoing in the dark field, and the music vibrated in the air.
Tonight, the Hogwarts couldn't sleep!
Tonight, the Hogwarts would lose their headmaster!
The night grew longer, and dawn was far away.
After that, people kept coming in. Sirius, Tonks, Hagrid, the professors in the school, and other members of the Order of the Phoenix came in.
Professor Meg left with Dumbledore's wand. She was going to announce this sad news.
Soon, she returned with the Weasley couple and Hibiscus Chinensis.
Everyone was glad that Greyback didn't bite Bill at that time.
He was badly hurt, but he would recover.
Finally, Hagrid came in with red eyes. When he saw Elwyn and Harry, he cried even harder.
He seemed to have finally accepted the truth. His body was shaking, and he held a spotty handkerchief in his hand.
"Professor, Professor Sprout asked me to inform you that he's asked the children to go back to bed. Professor Slughorn said that he's already informed the Ministry of Magic."
"Thank you, Hagrid!" Professor Meg stood up. "When the people from the Ministry of Magic arrive, I may have to meet them. Hagrid, please tell the deans of the four academies that Slughorn can represent Slytherin. Tell them that I want to meet them in my office immediately. I hope you can come too. "
