Hogwarts Homecoming

What are Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall doing in the Forbidden Forest? Halligan and Hermione looked at each other, seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes.

The deans of the two Hogwarts colleges seemed to have encountered something urgent. They walked in a hurry, ignoring the little wizards who were staring at them curiously, and quickly walked away along the edge of the Forbidden Forest. It didn't take long. It became blurred.

"Harry!"

Almost at the same time, Hermione jumped up from the grass with Harry, and Hermione asked nervously.

"I'm taking it with me!"

Without saying anything, Harry immediately understood what Hermione meant. He was glad that he didn't go back to the dormitory with Ron. Without an invisibility cloak, Harry knew that his tracking technology was definitely not enough to track the two school principals.

Harry took out his own invisibility cloak from his schoolbag, looked around for a while, put the invisibility cloak on his and Hermione's heads, and then ran towards the direction where Snape and Professor McGonagall left go.

"I bet Ron is going to regret missing something important again!" said Harry.

"Not necessarily, Harry—"

Hermione struggled to carry her bulging schoolbag, and said out of breath,

"I think you know what we're doing, Harry. It's against school rules to follow a professor. Maybe Ron will be lucky enough to escape a detention."

Even so, Hermione still followed Harry closely, without any hesitation about her actions.

What happened that made Snape and Professor McGonagall act so urgently?

If Snape was the only person going to the Forbidden Forest, then Harry would have more guesses, but Professor McGonagall was walking with him, which made many of Harry's guesses untenable.

Five minutes later, the figures of the two deans became clear in the eyes of the two young wizards following them, and then they slowed down their running speed, fearing that the crunching fallen leaves would alert the two deans .

Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall were not in a hurry to go deep into the Forbidden Forest, but kept running towards the intersection of the lake and the edge of the Forbidden Forest in the distance, until twenty minutes later, there was a noise from the little wizards in the Hogwarts courtyard Completely eliminated, the two of them were caught off guard and walked into the Forbidden Forest along a path that was not too wide, but still easy to walk.

"I never knew there was such a place in the Forbidden Forest. Maybe neither Fred nor George has been here!"

Harry under the Invisibility Cloak sighed in astonishment.

Although the ground of the forest path they stepped on was also covered with fallen leaves, it looked strangely clean under the glow of the red-gold sunset.

The tall pine trees growing on both sides of the path are also rendered golden by the sun that is more than ten feet away from the horizon. Behind the two of them, the soothing sound of the water of the Black Lake slapping against the shore of the lake is in harmony with the ethereal sound of the forest. Insects and birds chirped, and Harry and Hermione who broke into it felt as if they had come to a fairy tale world.

"Hush - keep your voice down, Harry, you'll be heard!"

Hermione reminded alertly, but when she saw the moss-covered steles in the lush haystacks on both sides of the path, she couldn't help sighing,

"It must be very old--"

After being reminded by Hermione, Harry also turned his attention to those ancient steles, and then, he immediately understood why Hermione would sigh like that.

The stone monuments standing in the forest are actually tombstones. Because they are old and unattended, these tombstones are covered with green vines, and the words on the tombstones are almost invisible in the wind and rain. .

Hermione observed the tombstones, her face gradually turned pale, and a terrible guess jumped out of her clever head.

Because of this guess, the surrounding environment suddenly became less amiable. Hermione's lips trembled, and she felt that every breath of fresh air became icy cold.

"Who could it be, Harry—"

Hermione turned her head to look at Harry. She noticed that Harry's face was not normal, and immediately realized that Harry had the same guess as him, so she asked,

"Could it be—would it be—you see, Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall—they're the Heads. Could it be, Harry—"

"Impossible!"

Harry's face was livid, he didn't know the answer, but he still answered firmly.

The two leading professors didn't talk at all, they just hurried on their way with dull heads and efficient. After a few minutes, Professor McGonagall noticed a spacious, flat, and garden-like beautiful circular area in front of the path.

"I saw them, Severus—"

Professor McGonagall said excitedly, and then, the two of them suddenly quickened their pace and rushed there.

Dumbledore, Amosta, Sirius, Remus Lupine on the stretcher, Kreacher in Black's old house. Of course, there is also Regulus Brain whose appearance is always fixed in his youth, they All in this little garden.

"It came so fast, Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall—"

Amosta wiped the sweat from his forehead, stuffed his wand back into his sleeve, and smiled at the two panting professors,

"I just finished tidying up here."

"We've been here non-stop since we were told by Albus, Amosta—"

Professor McGonagall clutched her chest, and she saw Regulus Black lying on a piece of green velvet, sleeping peacefully, with a sad expression, and his eyes became moist.

The garden that Amosta has tidied up is like a fairyland, but the atmosphere here is definitely not comparable to a fairy tale.

Dumbledore folded his hands under his stomach, and his expression was very solemn, while Remus' expression was not much different from Dumbledore's, the only difference was that there was a little guilt on his face, which is not surprising, after all, he is The only one lying down for the funeral.

Sirius sat beside his younger brother, staring deeply at his younger brother who grew up with him, his face tensed and twitching from time to time, it seemed that he was trying to restrain himself, and the elf Kerry who was loyal to the Black family I don't have so many scruples anymore.

Kreacher threw himself under the table carrying Regulus' body, judging from its inaudible weeping, it had been crying for at least a few hours.

When he was in Hogwarts, Snape knew Regulus, and he was his senior. Of course, because of Sirius, he didn't like this fellow student who was a few grades younger than himself. When they left Hogwarts to follow the mysterious man, they communicated more.

Later, Regulus disappeared without a trace, and Snape never paid much attention to it. After all, he still had so many troubles at that time, but he never expected that many years later, he would Will see Regulus Black again in this situation.

Regulus Black on the table looked ashen, but he looked peaceful after being relieved.

Snape stared deeply at Regulus's face, with a dazed expression, in a trance, Regulus' lifeless face was just like his own.

"Can I be freed?"

Snape asked himself in his heart, and the answer to this question stung him, he turned his gaze, his attention was caught on the stretcher, his whole body was wrapped in white bandages, only his face was exposed, and he was trying to raise his head towards Rhaegu Remus, who was paying attention to Les, had a gloating look in his eyes, and almost laughed out loud.

"Then, since you're here, Harry and Hermione, you two should come over too, and send off this heroic spirit who is about to travel—"

Amosta waved towards a towering giant tree not far away, Dumbledore obviously had sensed it, he also smiled at it, and under the amazed gaze of the rest of the people, the space at the root of the tree suddenly After a twist, two little heads with embarrassing expressions appeared.
