Chapter 786 Tomb Robbery

After the funeral, the white grave was moved to a hillside outside Hogsmeade.

After all, even the headmaster of Hogwarts is not suitable to leave his own grave in the school, not to mention that the person buried in this grave is not the real headmaster.

Many tombstones have already been erected on this hillside. Some people who have worked at Hogwarts and have no other relatives, or who have not had a good relationship with their relatives, will choose to erect their graves here.

Fish, who came with Professor McGonagall and Hagrid who were responsible for moving the grave, shook his ears and suddenly turned his head to look at a pine tree nearby. Behind the pine tree, there was a tall man hiding. The tree trunk, which was just about the width of a person, could not completely cover his figure, and a small piece of clothing was exposed.

However, Fish had already determined the man's identity through his smell.

"Aberforth, you're here too, meow!"

(ΦωΦ)

Maomao waved to the man hiding behind the tree.

Aberforth Dumbledore walked out from behind the tree helplessly, his expression looking sad and awkward.

He had not participated in the funeral held at Hogwarts before. Aberforth still could not forgive his brother, but after all, he was his only relative, so he wanted to mourn his brother alone in private. Fan.

Unexpectedly, Fei Xu directly revealed his whereabouts.

Professor McGonagall was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Albus would be very happy if he knew you came to see him."

"Huh! I haven't forgiven him!" Aberforth sneered first, then let out a long sigh and said sadly: "But there is no point in saying this now."

Fei Xu scratched his head and stopped talking.

(ω)

He felt that it would be even more difficult for Aberforth to forgive Albus in the future.

Professor McGonagall did not stay long because there were still a lot of things for him to deal with at Hogwarts. In addition, the Ministry of Magic has forcibly withheld Dumbledore's inheritance in accordance with the Justified Confiscation of Materials Act, and Professor McGonagall must fight to get them back.

Although they can only detain them for thirty-one days, and although Professor McGonagall knows that important things have been hidden by Dumbledore, she must make evidence in front of people from the Ministry of Magic, or to be precise, Voldemort. The attitude of arguing with reason.

So after a brief conversation with Aberforth, Professor McGonagall took Fish and left, dragging along Hagrid who had been blowing his nose with a handkerchief and making a trumpet-like sound.

After the three people left, Aberforth stood in front of the white grave for a long time, and did not leave until nightfall.

Professor McGonagall, who returned to Hogwarts, was very busy in the following days. In addition to constantly arguing with the Ministry of Magic, she also had to mark the written test papers of the Transfiguration class and arrange for the distribution of students' final grades. Preparing for the annual end-of-semester dinner and a host of other issues.

Soon, the time came to the last day of this semester. Hogwarts held the end-of-semester banquet as always, but compared to the liveliness of previous years, this year's banquet seemed very deserted.

Everyone ate the food in front of them in silence, and even when talking to each other, they kept their voices as low as possible. Even Fish was affected by the surrounding atmosphere and was not very happy eating.

The next day, the students of Hogwarts boarded the Hogwarts Express, and Professor McGonagall took Fish and Hermione to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix after quickly finishing the work at hand.

Following them was a tall figure hiding his whole body in a black cloak.

"You are finally here!" Sirius and Lupine came forward together, "The meeting is about to begin."

Due to Dumbledore's "death", the remaining members of the Order of the Phoenix must discuss what to do next.

Then, Lupine noticed the figure in black robes behind Magna, her son and Hermione.

"Who is this...?" Lupine asked curiously.

Of course he didn't think that Professor McGonagall would bring some irrelevant people here, but he really couldn't think of anyone missing...except Snape.

But Snape should be collecting information from Voldemort now, so naturally he cannot come here, and judging from the size, this person doesn't look like him. There is someone whose size fits the bill, but he is already dead...

Just when Lupine was looking down, the man lifted the hood on his head, revealing a face that he thought was absolutely impossible.

"Long time no see, Remus." Dumbledore greeted him with a smile.

"Deng Deng Deng...Dumbledore?!"

Lupine was uncharacteristically calm and uttered an exclamation that made Sirius look aside.

And his voice also attracted other people from the Order of the Phoenix. After a chaotic sound of footsteps, Mad-Eye Moody, the Weasley family, Tonks, Kingsley, Hagrid and others all appeared. In the foyer, they were all stunned when they saw Dumbledore.

"Dumbledore?! You're not dead?!"

Hagrid was the first to come to his senses. He rushed forward in surprise and hugged Dumbledore.

"Ahem...if you don't let go, I will really die...Hagrid." Dumbledore cried out in pain.

Hagrid quickly put him down, and then asked again in disbelief: "Are you really not dead?"

"I'm sorry for making you worry." Dumbledore bowed to apologize, then walked in and explained: "The reason I faked my death was to bring Voldemort to the stage..."

At this time, the others finally came to their senses. They were first surprised that Dumbledore was not dead, and then they were attracted by Dumbledore's next words.

"According to the information Snape has learned, Voldemort and his minions have controlled a large number of members of the Ministry of Magic, including Sinix, so we must strive to completely solve Voldemort this summer!"

After Dumbledore dropped this heavy news, he successfully made everyone not want to pursue his previous deception.

(ω)

Fish looked at him with contempt, but because he was also involved in the deception, the cat wisely chose to remain silent.

And when Dumbledore told everything except Harry's situation, everyone understood why Dumbledore didn't tell them...

At least Hagrid didn't have such a good acting skill.

…

Just as Dumbledore was arranging the next work of the Order of the Phoenix, Voldemort also came to the white tomb alone. He gently waved the wand in his hand, and the tomb immediately split in the middle, revealing the sealed table and the body of "Dumbledore" and the old wand placed next to the body.

Voldemort picked up the wand, swung it at the empty space, and cut a tree not far away in half.

"Strange..." He frowned unhappily.

The power of the old wand was not much better than his own yew wand, and it was completely unworthy of its legendary reputation.

Voldemort did not doubt that the wand in his hand was a fake. After all, this wand had been in Dumbledore's hands for so long, and he was still very impressed.

Moreover, making a wand is not a simple matter. If there is a slight difference, the power of the wand will be greatly reduced. It is even more difficult to copy an old wand while ensuring its power.

Gregorovitch, a famous wand maker, had owned the Elder Wand for so many years, but he was unable to copy one, so Voldemort absolutely did not believe that Dumbledore could do it in such a short time.

Is it because he did not defeat Dumbledore in front of the Elder Wand?

Thinking of this, Voldemort raised the Elder Wand again and pointed at the "Dumbledore" in front of him. The body instantly burned up and soon turned into a pile of ashes. Then he waved the wand again and broke another thicker tree.

But... the power of the spell remained unchanged.

Is it because he did not "really" defeat Dumbledore? Or is it because... Dumbledore deliberately lost to someone before he died?

This possibility is not impossible, but Voldemort is puzzled. Since Dumbledore has transferred the ownership of the Elder Wand, why should the wand be buried in the grave?

Unless...

The person to whom the ownership is handed over is a wizard who does not rely much on the wand. In this way, Dumbledore can take the Elder Wand into his own grave with peace of mind when handing over the ownership.

Moreover, if someone, like me, uses the Elder Wand to deal with a little wizard who doesn't need a wand, he will be retaliated against...

"Hmph!"

Voldemort, who felt that he had seen through Dumbledore's tricks, sneered, then turned around and disappeared into the air.

The original book did not say where Dumbledore's grave was, but I think no matter what, it is impossible to put a tombstone on the Black Lake. No matter how great Dumbledore was, he was just a headmaster. Even the graves of the four giants were not in Hogwarts. I don't think he can be an exception.

In the original book, Harry did not see his grave in the cemetery of Godric's Hollow, Dumbledore's hometown. Voldemort also went to Dumbledore's grave to take the Elder Wand during the final battle, so his grave should be near Hogwarts. The Forbidden Forest and Hogsmeade both meet the requirements, but the centaurs probably won't agree, otherwise the funeral would be held directly in the Forbidden Forest.

……

Originally, I wanted to let the Cat Club participate in the final battle, just like the original, but after careful consideration, Dumbledore would not choose to let students take risks, so I chose the time during the summer vacation, and this task should be handed over to the adults of the Order of the Phoenix.

……

In the original book, Voldemort killed Snape because the power of the Elder Wand was not right, and then he didn't find that even if he killed Snape, the power was still wrong?

From this perspective, Snape's plot killing was a bit deliberate, or in other words, after killing Snape, at least his doubts should be described a few more times, but Voldemort just took the Elder Wand that had not become stronger at all to deal with Harry.
