Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 552 Elderberry Wand and Funeral
On the day of Dumbledore's funeral, the doors of the office finally opened.

With a tired expression and a bearded face, Mike came out of it, and ran into Franklin, Penello, and Victor who were guarding the door.

Regardless of the bad smell and dirty clothes on Mike's body, Penello threw himself into Mike's arms and cried, and Franklin next to him was finally relieved when he saw this.

They knew that this incident had hit Mike very hard, so they were deeply afraid that Mike would continue to be decadent.

Fortunately, it now appears that Mike has come out on his own.

Patting Penello on the back lightly, Mike pushed Penello out.

His body is too dirty, even if Penello doesn't care, he still feels a little twisted in his heart.

As for what Penello and Franklin are worried about, it will not happen at all.

Mike is not an ordinary boy. He has also experienced a bigger blow in his previous life. The previous indulgence was just to vent his emotions, but now that the vent is over, he will naturally regain his energy and do what he should do.

The so-called strong people are always like this, they will not be defeated by any difficulties, even if they fall down by accident, they will climb up again with their own strength!

After all, life has to go on, and Mike has to complete his unfinished mission.

"Dumbledore's funeral is today, isn't it?"

Mike said softly.

"That's right, Dumbledore's funeral will start in two hours, and Benjamin and the others have already passed by." Penello said with some hesitation, "Originally we planned to give some compensation to make the funeral more grand , it's a pity that they rejected it, and..."

"And their attitude was pretty nasty," Mike said, "and even said all the bad things, right?"

Penello nodded silently.

Seeing this, Mike touched Penello's hair for comfort, and at the same time waved his other hand lightly, a hurricane rose from the bottom of Mike's feet, swept the whole body from bottom to top, and wiped away the stains and greasy dirt on his body. Clean and fresh.

"Are you going to the funeral?"

Penello looked at Mike worriedly.

And Mike smiled lightly:

"As a student of Hogwarts, it is natural to see Headmaster Dumbledore off for the last time."

After finishing speaking, Mike saw that the worry in Penello's eyes did not diminish at all, and went on to say:

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

"I think you'd better take this with you."

Victor's voice suddenly remembered, everyone turned their heads, and saw him coming to Mike with an elder wand in his hand.

Mike looked at Victor's appearance, which was no different from ordinary people, and the hands holding the wand, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

This change was noticed by Victor. He turned around with his wand in his hand, showing off his body, and then said in a flaunting tone:
"How about it? My new body! Made entirely of tungsten-silver alloy, it is extremely strong! The most important thing is that it also has a certain anti-magic attribute!"

Hearing this, Mike and others nodded approvingly, although they didn't understand what Victor said about tungsten-silver alloy.

And Victor obviously didn't care about this, he excitedly raised the elder wand above his head, looked up at it, and said in a trembling worshiping voice:
"Mike, the elder wand you gave me is really good! I can make this body this time, thanks in large part to it!"

"Oh? What did you research?"

Victor raised the corner of his mouth, stroked the elder wand and said excitedly:

"Elderwood with thestral tail feathers, strong and elastic, 15 inches long! Undoubtedly, this is an ancient wand made by standard wand making methods. After rigorous testing, I found it to be very effective for magic The power of the spell will be greatly improved! For example, in the strict sense, ordinary magic wands are nothing more than a tool for transforming magic power. It is controlled by a complicated process to turn it into a spell and release it, and in this process, it will inevitably cause a loss of magic power. Many people use different wands to release spells with different powers, precisely because of the The matching between magic power and magic wand is different, so the degree of consumption is also different. But this elderberry wand is different, it is completely a magic power amplifier, and the power of the magic spell released through it will be significantly improved, and This increase is about 3.14 times!
This is actually a very weird thing, because I can't figure out where the extra magic power comes from, which doesn't conform to the law of energy conservation.But it doesn't matter, after all, this place itself is a supernatural world, and it's normal for such things to appear. "

Mike said:

"So this wand can directly increase the power of my spell by almost three times?"

"Yes, that's right. But you have to be careful when using it, because this wand is very special." Victor continued: "Actually, according to my research data, elderberry is actually a very picky wand. Only a few people can use a wand made of elderberry. But for some reason, this wand in front of me is completely different from the general elderberry wand. It is indifferent and has no loyalty at all. .Its only criterion for choosing a master is strength. It is like you duel with the previous owner of this wand. As long as you win, the elder wand will submit to you, otherwise even if you use other methods to obtain this wand, it will Nor will it show you its magic.

At the same time, it also has another extremely special function.That is the extraordinary level of material repair and fusion ability!

The reason why I said just now that I can have this body now is entirely due to it is because I used the power of the elderberry wand to combine tungsten steel and mithril, which were impossible to blend together before, to form a body. A brand new alloy.In the same way, elderberry wands can also repair some extremely complex items, such as alchemy props and wands.

Seriously, I'm beginning to believe that this wand was really made by Death.After all, the ability it displayed is too exaggerated!It's hard for me to imagine that the Peverell family thousands of years ago could create such a magic wand that violated the rules of matter. You must know that the research on mysterious knowledge in the wizarding world has always been improving, so there are no ancient creations at all. Things that are stronger than modern times. If they had mastered this technology then, then we should have better technology now. "

Mike shook his head helplessly and said:
"Well, it's up to you to continue your research. I hope you can achieve everything. And now, give me the wand. I have to go to the funeral."

"Of course! No problem!" Victor said briskly, "But can you help me get the Death's Cloak and the Resurrection Stone? I'm very interested in the Three Hallows, maybe I will We will be able to study the secrets inside."

"I'll do my best. Disarm you."

Mike waved his hand, a red glow flashed, and Victor let out a cry of pain, and the elder wand in his hand flew out and landed in Mike's hand.

"Try to hurry up, I can't wait!"

Victor rubbed his wrist and said to Mike.

Hearing this, Mike just nodded, and then led Franklin and Penello towards the teleportation hall, leaving only a dashing back for Victor.

……

Dumbledore's burial was set on the outskirts of the hunting grounds in the Forbidden Forest, in a small clearing near the Black Lake.

The terrain here is very high, and you can see the entire Hogwarts Castle from here.

According to Penello and the others, this place was settled by Dumbledore before his death, so that even if he died, he could continue to watch the growth of those Hogwarts students.

After this reason was announced by Professor McGonagall, almost all the students in Hogwarts cried into tears, even many Slytherins.

Of course, Dumbledore's younger brother Aberforth didn't cry, on the contrary, when he heard the news, he was furious, like a berserk giant horned rhinoceros, rampaging in the Pig's Head Bar, breaking many tables chair.

So many people thought he was crazy.

But there are also rumors that Aberforth had forgiven Dumbledore's past mistakes and wanted to bring back Dumbledore's bones and bury them in the Dumbledore family's tomb with their mother and sister. in the garden.

Unexpectedly, Dumbledore buried himself in Hogwarts on his own initiative.

How could Aberforth not be angry at this.

Thinking of this, the corners of Mike's mouth raised uncontrollably.

Although others thought it was just a rumor, Mike, who had read the original book, knew that with Aberforth's character, it was really possible to do such a thing.

At this moment, Mike is on the tower of Ravenclaw. Thanks to the height of the tower and the help of the farsightedness technique, he can easily see the funeral going on in the distance here.

As for Penello and others, they have already gone to the funeral scene.

Originally, they wanted to bring Mike with them, but because of the obituary announcement, many people from outside the school also came to Hogwarts to attend the funeral. As a Hogwarts student who has not yet graduated, Chris Naturally, a group of Ministry of Magic officials arrived at the funeral.

You must know that Penelope and the others never showed their true face when they acted, so they can still attend the funeral, but Mike really can't go.

Of course, this is not to say that Mike is afraid of Chris. In fact, after mastering the elderberry wand, Mike already has the power to confront Chris head-on, and the reason why he did not appear at the funeral is because he did not want to Let Dumbledore's funeral scene become a stand.

At the same time, it was also because he hadn't figured out how to appear in front of Harry and the others. After all, he was the one who killed Dumbledore.

While thinking about it, it was finally time for the funeral to begin.

A large group of people in black formal suits gathered in a small open space. There were a lot of people who came to the funeral this time, and their identities were also very complicated.

Among them, there are gorgeous and dignified clothes, and the wizards who look like successful people account for the vast majority, but there are also some who are full of stench and look like tramps.

If it were to be an ordinary person's funeral, such a guy who couldn't even put on a formal suit would definitely not be allowed to attend.

But Dumbledore is different. He himself is a symbol of tolerance. Whether it is a prince or noble who owns everything in the world, or a poor squib begging on the roadside, he is equal in his eyes.

Therefore, the above bizarre scene appeared on the scene.

Everyone stared at Dumbledore lying in the tomb, seeing his face that was almost the same as in life, and many people cried.

McGonagall stepped forward as Hogwarts Vice-Headmaster and began to read the eulogy.

Then the crowd began to move in an orderly manner, and people walked past Dumbledore's grave in order to see him for the last time.

As Dumbledore's only remaining relative in this world, Aberforth is naturally ranked first.

Mike on the tower could see clearly that Aberforth, with red and swollen eyes and tears streaming down his face, stayed in front of Dumbledore's tomb for a long time. His emotions seemed very agitated, and his lips were still fluttering up and down.

Although Mike couldn't hear what he said clearly due to the distance, judging from the shape of his mouth, Aberforth was probably cursing his younger brother.

After the farewell ceremony, Fox appeared.

It sang a song of courage and hovered over the crowd, and as its singing sounded, countless magical creatures came out of the surrounding forbidden forest and joined the funeral.

After the song was sung, Fox let out a mournful cry, and said his final farewell to Dumbledore.

Then it flew west without looking back, and gradually disappeared from people's sight.

The funeral is over.

As Dumbledore's tomb was sealed, the crowd gathered around him also dissipated, and they will hold many small memorial services in the future. You must know that Dumbledore's death is a big event, and they must treat it solemnly this matter.

Of course, I chose to stay.

Just like the many students of Hogwarts, they continued to mourn in front of Dumbledore's tombstone, unwilling to leave for a long time.

Also, Aberforth, completely ignoring the pulling of others, still stayed in front of Dumbledore's grave, crying and continuing to curse his brother.

Seeing this, many people were very angry, thinking that Aberforth was defiled the dead.

But only those who really know their past will know how desperate Aberforth is at the moment.

At today's funeral, I am afraid that no one can be more sad than Aberforth.

His last relative in this world also died.

It wasn't until the moon was high that Aberforth staggered out of the tomb. Seeing this, Mike also stood up, picked up a bottle of wine beside him, and faced the moonlight, toward Dumbledore's long sleep Where to go.
