work? Ginny gasped, "For Merlin's sake, her parents were killed by Death Eaters!" "

Ron and Harry were silent, remembering their second year as Malfoy's sidekick, when, in the hallway, Gwen had indeed said that her parents had died fighting You-Know-Who.

"Enough," Ginny said finally. "Maybe Gwen has a little secret, but she won't hurt us, okay?"

Gwen, who was walking among the ruins, was also panicking. She had to find the fake wand before the professors and Aurors repaired Hogwarts Castle.

While turning over the stones, Gwen scolded the bat-like former professor in her heart.Does he have to leave the "tools of crime" on the battlefield?

Of course, silly girl.Gwen could answer himself, he couldn't bring another wand back to the Death Eaters' lair, that would be a death sentence for himself.

"The wand is coming." Seeing no one around, Gwen cast a spell on the ruins in a low voice, but there was no response.

She cleared her throat. "Severus Snape's fake wand is coming."

In a dark corner, a large boulder moved and settled down again.Gwen trotted over, and sure enough, she found the wand that was tightly crushed by the stones.She felt hot. Does this mean that at least Snape carried out Dumbledore's plan?

"Who's there?" came a stern and menacing voice, accompanied by the thud of wood.

Frightened, Gwen hid the fake wand behind her back and realized it was Moody.

"I'm just a student." She breathed a sigh of relief.

Moody's magic eyes were fixed on the hand behind her, and he didn't move. "You shouldn't have come here, go back quickly. Now is a special period..."

The Felicia elixir Gwen sipped had clearly expired, so that she foolishly tried to ask Moody to prove her conjecture.

"Professor, will Dumbledore be buried in Hogwarts?" Her trembling voice was extremely lacklustre.

"As far as I know, his wish is to be buried here, at Hogwarts." Moody inspected Gwen and the wand behind her with horrifying eyes.

"That's good, I mean, we all want to say goodbye to the principal..." Gwen bowed her head, "although I still can't believe he just... left..." Gwen secretly raised her eyes to observe Moody's look.

That old Auror was always the same, he rolled his magic eyes, "You have to accept this reality," he said indifferently, "otherwise the students will not grow up, and no one can stand in front of you forever."

"That's terrible," Gwen pretended to be trembling with fright, "in the morning he was still a living person, but in the evening he turned into a dead body...Merlin, I've never touched such a cold hand... …Like he's been dead for a long time. Dumbledore was the greatest wizard ever, and he once told me that no magic is perfect, but his magic was always—"

"Death is cold." Moody interrupted Gwen's memory mercilessly, "No matter what unrealistic guesses you have, he has left."

No leaks, look at this senior Auror, trying to get a routine from him is harder than getting an A in Potions class.

"Okay," Gwen pursed her lips, "after all, no one can curse my tongue this time, so let that idea rot in my heart. Excuse me, Professor."

Under the gaze of the magic eye, Gwen ran away in despair.She hid in the secret passage where Malfoy was kidnapped before, silently said Merlin's name, and used the fake wand.

For the first time, a startling green light shot from the tip of the staff.

The second time, nothing happened.

Gwen counted with her fingers, then squatted on the ground, staring blankly at the fragile birch branch, and finally couldn't help crying while covering her face.

Complicated emotions came to mind.

Great, great.Professor Snape did indeed use the wand.

The green light of the death curse on the Astronomy Tower is emitted from this wand.Regardless of where Dumbledore was now, Gwen was almost certain that the headmaster was still alive.

She took out her retractable ears and whispered George's name.

"I think we're right, George."

George's rapid breathing and cheerful tone came from the ear: "This is the only good news today." Then he lowered his voice and said to Gwen: "Don't do anything, don't say anything, Gwen Wen. We can't disrupt the plan, and we can't let those people find out."

"But..." Gwen hesitated. "We can at least tell..."

"Listen to me, this time," said George firmly. "He's wiser than us, and thinks farther ahead. Let's just live as before, and don't pretend to be smart, Gwen."

"You talk like Snape." Gwen was very displeased with the word smart.

George snorted coldly from his nose, "No matter what you say, the old bat can only be regarded as a Death Eater who attempted murder to me."

Of course, Gwen couldn't justify his name, but this time the tied tongue gave her a different peace of mind than before.You see, there is a great white wizard hiding somewhere to protect them secretly.

All classes are suspended and all exams postponed.Over the next two days, some students were hastily picked up from Hogwarts by their parents - the Parvati twins left without breakfast the morning after Dumbledore's death, Zachary Smith Smith followed his smug father out of the castle.Seamus Finnigan flatly refused to go home with his mother, and they had a loud quarrel in the hall until his mother allowed him to stay for the funeral, and the quarrel ended.Seamus later told the Gryffindor students that his mother had trouble finding a bed in Hogsmeade because so many wizards and wizards, male and female, had flocked to the village to say their final goodbyes to Dumbledore.

At dusk the day before the funeral, a powder-blue carriage the size of a house, pulled by a dozen huge winged silver-maned horses, flew from the sky and landed on the edge of the Forbidden Forest.The younger students were very excited, they had never seen such a sight before.A tall, imposing woman with black hair and yellow skin stepped out of the carriage and threw herself into the arms of Hagrid who was waiting there.Meanwhile, a delegation from the Ministry of Magic - which included the Minister himself - was arranged to take up residence at the castle.Harry took pains to avoid meeting any of them, as all were ready to question him about the last time Dumbledore had left Hogwarts.

What comforted Gwen was that her friends were as close as ever to her.Although she also knew how unusual her behavior was in those days.

When he ran into Harry who was hiding from others, the boy with the scar on his head scratched his head embarrassingly and apologized to her.

"I'm sorry, Gwen, for talking to you like that the other day..."

Gwen was momentarily taken aback by his words, "I get it, Harry, we're all having a hard time, too much has happened lately. You don't have to apologize."

Harry insisted on pouring out what was on his mind: "Listen, Gwen. I didn't doubt you, but I was so annoyed at the time. I doubted Snape a long time ago, if I could have told Dumbledore sooner... ...In short, this is all my fault and has nothing to do with you."

Gwen stopped the steps she was about to leave. She looked seriously at the boy who was put on the savior hat and said, "You have a kind heart, Harry, and I think this is the biggest difference between you and Voldemort. After so much, you still worry about hurting your friends because of some trivial things. As for the latter sentence, none of this is your fault, and things are not at their worst, trust me."

Harry gave a wry smile. Hearing the sound of footsteps in the distance, he gestured to Gwen to indicate that he had to run away quickly.

"And, Harry," Gwen said, looking after him, "I'm going to stay at Ollivander's Wand Shop after I graduate, and everything, me and George - and of course Fred - we're all Willing to help you."

Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny stayed together all day, and Gwen and Katie, who were about to graduate, would occasionally join them.The sunny weather seems to be taunting everyone.Harry couldn't help but imagine how much better it would have been if Dumbledore hadn't died.Now it's the end of the term, Ginny's exams are over, the pressure of homework has eased, and they spend all day together...

The group of students visited the school hospital twice a day.Neville had been released from the hospital, where Bill continued to be under Madam Pomfrey's care.His scar is still so shocking.To be honest, he looks a lot like Mad-Eye Moody now, luckily his eyes and legs are still intact, but his personality doesn't seem to have changed at all.The only thing that has changed is that he now suddenly loves to eat very tender beef.

"...fortunately he's going to marry me," Fleur said cheerfully as she patted Bill's pillow softer, "because the British always overcook their meat. I've said that many times."

"Looks like I'll have to face it, he's really going to marry her," sighed Ginny, who sat in the Gryffindor common room with Harry, Gwen, Ron, and Hermione that night. by the open window of the living room, looking out at the field in the twilight.

"She's not that bad," Harry said, "although she's kind of ugly." Seeing Ginny's raised eyebrows, he added quickly, and Ginny forced a laugh.

"Well, since Mom can take it, I guess I'm fine too."

"Don't worry," Gwen patted Ginny on the shoulder, "you won't live together forever."
