The scene in the Leaky Cauldron at this moment is very strange.

A panting guy waved the newspaper in his hand, and across from him, there was a large group of guests with bright eyes, their heads swaying with the movements of his arms.

In the end, the guy seemed to have noticed this, and began to consciously dance the newspaper in his hand, instructing the people in front of him to make some funny movements.

This made the atmosphere of the scene a little funny.

"Don't tease the guests!"

As old Tom spoke heavily, he knocked a chestnut on the man's head, and the workman covered his head and screamed and backed away, almost falling back into the fireplace.

And the newspaper in his hand with the residual printing temperature was snatched by Old Tom.

Everyone gathered around and looked up at the newspaper with their necks raised, but saw that the new newspaper clearly printed the logo of the Daily Prophet, but the content on it was simpler than the issue just published in the morning.

declare war!

Or in more detail.

The Ministry of Magic declares war on the French magic world!

Just looking at the huge W-shaped emblem of the Ministry of Magic in the center of the newspaper, everyone's brains felt a strong dizziness.

"It's actually declared war? How is this possible? How dare they?!"

Apu muttered to himself in a trance.

He was just wondering why the Ministry of Magic would so simply disclose all the information about the Hogwarts attack this time, even ignoring the content rating policy.

This approach is bound to cause public outrage!

But now it all makes sense.

The Ministry of Magic of the country wants to arouse the anger of the people, and then vent this anger on the French wizards!

But how dare they?

Aren't they afraid of protests by anti-war protesters in the country?

Aren't they afraid of sanctions from the International Confederation of Wizards?

In such a case, isn't it a normal practice to negotiate and negotiate?

Why did they come out of nowhere!

Apu felt like his brain was about to burst.

He has grown up so much, and he is usually considered to have studied the history of magic, and he has learned a lot of impulsive and even bizarre ruler deeds in the book.

But he really never thought about being so reckless!

"Good! Great!"

"Long live the Ministry of Magic!"

"Long live Lord Link Foley!"

...

Deafening cheers broke out after a brief silence.

The bearded burly man has torn his clothes, baring his chest hair and roaring continuously.

Beside him, Adam, the gentle and suave editor-in-chief, also took off his suit, cheering and shaking.

This action, combined with Adam's thin body, is a bit funny.

But no one was there to laugh at him, because others were even crazier than him, and the emotions of everyone present had been detonated by the simple headline on the latest issue of the Daily Prophet!

Apu swallowed hard, the crazy scene in front of him made him feel bad, and he stepped back and wanted to leave the Leaky Cauldron.

But before he could take a few steps, his big hand, which had been full of calluses, grabbed his neck and collar.

"Old Tom, let me go, I suddenly remembered that the machine in my workshop is still running, I'm going back now!"

Apu said anxiously, and glanced at the crazy Adam involuntarily.

But Old Tom's hands were still firmly gripping his neckline like iron tongs, and he looked at him with a smile.

For some reason, Apu felt that the way old Tom looked at him was no different from looking at a bunch of Galleons.

"You just saw that the Ministry of Magic of the Kingdom of China has declared war on the entire French magic world. This means that the entire magic world of the Kingdom of China has now entered the highest level of war, and military control is also implemented."

Old Tom said softly, "And in this military control, any wizard from a foreign country has the responsibility and obligation to report foreign spies."

Hearing that, Apu froze for a moment.

But still forced out a smile and said:

"You say I'm a foreign spy? How is that possible? I'm not French, but an authentic sorcerer! Old Tom, I warn you, don't mess around! The Ministry of Magic's martial law reporting measures have With a clear explanation, the false accuser will be guilty of the same!"

"Yeah, that's right, I also remember very clearly that false accusers are guilty of the same crime, and those who concealed the report are guilty of the same crime are all strictly enforced in black and white. But I didn't say that you are French, right? Are you not asking yourself? "

Apu's face was very ugly.

His hand has been sneakily placed on the wand holster.

In the current situation, he is afraid that it is useless to say anything, so he can only force a breakthrough.

But just as his hand touched the wand, a fist the size of a cauldron suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

"Bam—"

Apu was knocked out by the big bearded man with a punch and smashed the bar directly.

"Sorry, I broke your ancestral bar."

The beard said a little embarrassedly.

But Old Tom laughed and stretched out his hands to hold the bearded fist that was still frozen in the air:

"Ha! It's okay! I already planned to replace it, but you saved me energy. Besides, you are here to save me, so I would like to thank you!"

Hearing that, the bearded man finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Adam, who was beside him, shouted and walked towards the Floo Fireplace with a large group of guests.

This scene made old Tom's smile instantly stiff, and he hurriedly shouted:

"Merlin's beard, where are you going!"

"Does that need to be said? Of course to the Ministry of Magic!"

"But...why? Didn't they all declare war? You should have already fulfilled all your requirements, so what are you going to do at the Ministry of Magic now?"

Adam turned his head and glanced at the anxious old Tom with some doubts and said:

"Of course I'm going to join the army! It doesn't matter if it's an Auror or a striker! In short, I'm going to France in person to avenge my son!"

"That's right! I'm going to take revenge too!"

The bearded strong man also roared and followed behind Adam.

The rest also joined in.

Under the dull gaze of Old Tom, after a while, everyone was noisily pouring into the Floo Fireplace, disappearing in the rising flames.

In the huge Leaky Cauldron Bar, only Old Tom was left standing in a mess.

Even the guy hired by old Tom had quietly followed Adam.

Outside the Leaky Cauldron, Old Tom could faintly see the crowds of people on Diagon Alley.

More and more people are receiving news that the Ministry of Magic has declared war.

Everyone raised the flag with the emblem of the Ministry of Magic of the country, waving it and roaring at the same time.

And many more people are rushing to every store that has a Floo Fireplace.

Some were impatient and even used the Apparition Charm illegally on the street.

There is no doubt that the destination of these furious men must be the Ministry of Magic.

Old Tom was also hot in his heart.

However, after seeing the mess in his bar, his heart quickly cooled down.

This time, the Leaky Cauldron Bar must also learn from the newly opened pubs outside, and start a wave of complete renovations.

How much Galleons does this cost?

Old Tom couldn't bear to figure it out.

Fortunately, though, there is still an Apu that can be used to make up for the loss.

"For the whole decoration, 5,000 gold Galleons should be enough, right?"

While talking to himself, Old Tom gave Appu a heavy punch in the ruins.

...

At the same time, the spider's end alley thousands of miles away.

Link is taking Mrs. Foley and Emily down the run-down street to the river bank.

Dozens of people were silent on the road, and the people in the houses on both sides of the street were also looking at the group of black-robed people curiously.

Of course, most of these people's eyes were still on the black coffin inlaid with silver patterns pulled by a carriage in the middle of the team.

Such a gorgeous and extravagant coffin appears on this street full of human excrement and all kinds of garbage, which is really eye-catching.

In terms of comfort and splendor alone, the broken brick house they live in may be more like a coffin than the coffin.

Therefore, many people secretly followed this mysterious funeral procession, wanting to see where the coffin was buried.

As for what these people will do when they know the location.

That was already obvious.

However, Link and the others did not care about it.

The group of people continued to move along the turbid stinky river, and then at a certain point in time, they suddenly disappeared.

The residents of Spider End Alley who followed this scene were stunned.

They searched around the river bank reluctantly, but found nothing.

In the end, he could only escape from the river bank in horror, leaving another terrifying rumor in Spider End Alley.

But what they didn't know was that Link and his party were on the shore not far from them.

What obscured the shape of Link's group was a spherical barrier.

The radius of this barrier is about 100 meters, and it encloses all the soil in the sky and the ground in a spherical shape.

Outside the barrier is a lifeless gray.

The filthy snowflakes that fell from the thick black clouds kept hitting the ground, and a thick layer of brown-gray snow had accumulated on the river bank, but it melted silently when it fell into the lake.

The turbid sewage mixed with a large amount of chemicals and garbage seemed to have lost its ability to freeze, and it was still surging smoothly in the cold winter.

But inside the barrier, there are large swaths of green.

This place seems to have arrived in spring ahead of the surrounding world, and all you can see is green grass.

On the highest central **** of the entire barrier area, an ancient willow tree was erected.

This is the only living large plant within a few kilometers.

His existence is simply a miracle.

Because the environment around the spider's tail lane is really not suitable for the growth of such large plants.

Living in such a bad environment for a long time has caused serious yin and yang disorders.

Not only is the skin dry and bursting, but even the branches are crooked, looking twisted and absurd.

But even so, the willow tree that came to this land with tea and porcelain decades ago is still alive, and new green branches burst out without any intervention from Link and others.

To do this, this willow tree must be fighting every moment.

"However, now you can finally rest, and the days to come should be much better."

Link stroked the rough skin of the willow tree and murmured to himself.

Hearing this, Siegefen and John and the others behind him all bowed their heads silently.

They actually couldn't understand why Link had to bury Professor Snape in such a place.

According to them, Hogwarts is the best place to be buried.

Only the honor of being buried at Hogwarts was worthy of Snape's sacrifice.

Or, it's not impossible to be buried with Lily.

This sounds a bit insulting to the deceased.

After all, if you really want to do this, you must first excavate the joint tomb of Lily Potter and James Potter, and then bury James Potter's body aside.

This behavior is expected to provoke a collective protest from many people, including Dumbledore.

But so what?

With Link's prestige at this moment, even if he did that, no one would be able to get him.

However, in the end, Link chose a location like the river bank outside Spider End Alley.

In addition, a huge amount of money was spent to build a large barrier around the willow tree.

The soil and air inside the barrier have all been magically evolved, and are equipped with the exact same climate control system as the Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, setting the temperature and humidity in this area to spring all year round.

The barrier itself is made up of dozens of protective spells, such as the All Plus Protection Charm, the Anti-Apparition Charm, the Muggle Banishing Charm, and the Brave Loyalty Charm.

This level of protection is comparable to the current committee office of the Ministry of Magic.

That alone is really nothing.

After all, these measures are for the aesthetics and safety of Professor Snape's cemetery~lightnovelpub.net~ But the problem is that after Link made a major renovation of this 'cemetery' environment, he only retained the The malnourished crooked-neck willow.

In such a paradise-like place, his existence is really unpleasant.

Is this really appropriate?

"Link, it's almost time."

Dumbledore's voice sounded at the right time, awakening everyone who was in a state of contemplation.

Link nodded, and silently came to the back of the carriage. With a single tap of his wand, the entire coffin floated and landed in the marble grave that had been dug in front of the willow tree.

As the oldest person present, Dumbledore spread out the black notebook in his hand and began to speak.

Everyone quickly bowed their heads in accordance with the etiquette and made a silence, and Emily had already plunged into Mrs. Foley's arms and sobbed.

At the scene, only Link was still standing in front of Professor Snape's coffin, staring blankly at the big willow tree.

Others might feel that Link should be in great grief at this point.

But in fact, only Link himself knew that at this moment, his heart was peaceful, and even his mind was blank.

This state is similar to the fact that when a person wakes up, his consciousness has not completely returned to his body.

But this was not the effect of Occlumency, but Link's most authentic and primitive emotional response at this time.

His body instinctively refused to absorb any information, and he focused all his attention on the willow tree in front of him, observing the mottled marks on his body and the branches swaying in the wind.

Link knew very well that it was his body instinctively protecting his consciousness.
