if i am not me

Dumbledore's funeral took place on a sunny day.

He has always liked this weather.

People dressed in dark robes and dresses, each holding a bouquet of flowers, crowded and stood in the atrium of Hogwarts.They were about to go to the place where the funeral would be held - on the lawn by the lake of Hogwarts, the most beautiful and pleasant place in the school.

Harry and Leo followed James and Lily, looking at these familiar or unfamiliar faces, he felt that the entire wizarding world had come to Hogwarts, and he even saw several Muggle dignitaries in the crowd.You know, these people usually only appear in the news of their own country.

Harry can know them, thanks to Mary's introduction.

She was standing with Lupin at this moment, looking a little disturbed by seeing so many wizards for the first time in the wizarding world.And this anxious mood was passed on to Harry, which inexplicably gave him a few more emotions that he couldn't explain clearly.

A hand gently wrapped around Harry's shoulder, it was James.His face was still pale, and like Lily, he looked like he was recovering from a serious illness, but his warm and strong hands made Harry's heart, which was still a little bit at a loss, feel at ease.

And Lily held Harry and never let go of her hand.Facing this lost and found child, she still has a sense of unreality, and this uneasiness makes her unable to bear Harry out of her sight for too long.James looked better, but Harry knew that they were the same, so James was able to detect his emotional fluctuations for the first time just now.

He finally understood why Dumbledore wanted them to take the potion.At this point, the last trace of dissatisfaction with Dumbledore dissipated, leaving only gratitude.

He attended Dumbledore's funeral twice, but his mood was very different.

The last time I was sad, I was only full of panic, but now... Maybe this is what Dumbledore has always wanted-peace and tranquility.

The old man was never stingy with fearless sacrifices, for which he would have given his own life, or even the lives of others.Just like myself in the previous life, the factors of instability must be eliminated.

After all, he had suffered a loss from Riddle once.

But under certain conditions, he will try his best to keep everything, just like now.He and Neville had nothing to worry about, James, Lily, Lupine, Sirius, the twins... Except for a few Aurors who died heroically, those Harry knew were still alive and well.

"It's almost time." Professor McGonagall still looked serious, but couldn't hide his sadness. "Everyone please."

After speaking, she took the lead and walked towards the lake.People followed her one by one, forming several rows spontaneously.

Thousands of chairs were placed by the lake, but it was still not enough.Many people stood silently without a seat, and no one complained of dissatisfaction.The scene was very quiet, except for the chirping of insects and the chirping of birds, only a few sobs were heard occasionally, which were quickly suppressed by the person who made the sound.

The sun is hot.Hagrid, who was usually afraid of the heat, didn't make his usual grunts.He put on his best and neatest clothes, held Dumbledore's body wrapped in purple velvet in his arms, and wept silently.

Suddenly, ethereal and graceful songs mixed with sorrow appeared in everyone's ears, and the lake surface rippled with Hagrid's appearance, and then a group of mermaids appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Then there were rustling sounds at the edge of the Forbidden Forest.Looking up, there are centaurs, goblins and dwarves living in the Forbidden Forest.

They looked very sad, as if they had lost a dear friend and protector.

People don't seem to be surprised by the appearance of these precious creatures.That's the beauty of Dumbledore, he's always been able to make all kinds of friends, no matter what race.

One after another, they began to tell about the Albus, Percival, Wulfric, Brian Dumbledore they knew. Without the deterrence of "Voldemort", people felt relieved while grieving. There is enough time, space, and energy to remember this wizard who has made great contributions to all mankind.The speakers talked so much that no one felt they shouldn't.

Listening to those things he never knew, Harry suddenly felt that the story of Dumbledore's youth must be a hundred times more exciting than what he knew.After all, he was the greatest wizard of this century, the greatest headmaster in the history of Hogwarts, the man who single-handedly defeated two Dark Lords!

In the end, no one got up again.

The white flame turned everything into a white marble tomb, the singing of the mermaid sounded again, and countless arrows flew into the air.

The story of the legendary wizard has come to an end.

Harry didn't pay attention to the comings and goings of the crowds around him. Besides flowers, he put some lemon ice cream and beautifully packaged zizi honey candies in front of Dumbledore's tomb.

He'd like it this hot, thought Harry.

In the end, there were only groups of people in twos and threes left by the lake.Mermaids, centaurs, etc. returned to the bottom of the lake and the forest after the funeral.

It was in this situation that Draco saw Harry who was held by Lily again.

He knew this would happen since Harry decided to restore James and Lily's memory, but he didn't expect that the situation of these two parents was more serious than they imagined. No wonder it took decades of drinking magic potions to recover. Maintain mental stability.

Lucius and Narcissa have apparently heard Harry's story from their son.They were already shocked, so seeing such a different Potter and his wife, the two of them didn't show anything wrong, and they exchanged pleasantries naturally.

Mary was already very familiar with them, and after a brief ceremony, the parents got together in a rare way.

She knew that the child who brought earth-shaking changes to the family must have an extraordinary life experience, but she didn't expect Harry's life experience to be so ups and downs.Thinking of the little figure she saw in the garbage dump many years ago, and seeing the Potters struggling in the ward, Mary couldn't help crying a few more times.

James and Lily's gratitude to Mary is palpable.All they knew before was that their good friend Lupine was the suitor of this beautiful Muggle woman and the adoptive mother of Leo's beloved brother Harry.But when all the truth was revealed, Lily fainted again.

No one can imagine that if she hadn't passed by that dark alley that rainy night.

The relationship between Harry and Draco was known to the Potters before, but Harry's life experience was not known at that time.Seeing Lucius and Narcissa again at this moment, I couldn't help feeling more subtle.Unexpectedly, one day, Potter and Malfoy could also become relatives.

Lily finally let go of Harry's hand, allowing him and the young couple to have some time to themselves.

"Don't be sad, this is what he's after." Draco undoubtedly understood Harry, he just didn't know how to describe his complicated thoughts after listening to those stories about the past, let alone Harry, who participated in it himself.So at this time, he could only comfort him like this.

Harry raised his eyes to the white tomb that looked holy and beautiful in the sunlight, and finally smiled.

"I know. He is such a great person. I hope we are all happy and happy." Looking back at the boy who stood by his side at all times, he suddenly felt unprecedentedly relaxed—this is that The old man did his best to bring them.

From then on, the haze dissipated, and they could completely live for themselves.

"Draco Malfoy, please take care of me for the rest of my life!"

The author has something to say: It has been almost 10 years since I wrote the first word until now, from school to society.Thank you for still following this article.To be honest, I wouldn't be able to hold on without you.The work pressure after entering the society is beyond my imagination, and I can no longer create as much as I did in college.Whenever I can’t hold on any longer, I see your messages, and I say to myself, no, you have to finish writing, no matter how busy you are, you have to finish telling Harry’s story.

Today, it's finally over.Of course, I will put many unsolved secrets (brain holes) in the next episode.It doesn’t feel right to write the text, haha.It will be much easier to write a side story, you can write whatever you want, don't worry about the succession, hehe.

Anyway, I love you guys!Thank you for being with me for ten years.

Love you guys!
