Chapter 602: Two Ministries of Magic! Dumbledore's funeral!!
All classes were temporarily suspended and all exams were postponed.
In the following time, some students hurriedly followed their parents out of Hogwarts, and many flocked to Dumbledore, ready to pay tribute to Dumbledore.
The Ministry of Magic had been completely overrun by the Death Eaters, and even the Daily Prophet had become their mouthpiece, and the Ministry quickly published the new Minister of Magic, Pierce Sinkenness, in the newspaper, and trumpeted the accusation that the late Dumbledore was a terrorist intent on subverting the wizarding world.
even revealed the past of Dumbledore and Grindelwald, revealing that the shocking battle between the two was just a wand against the comparison, Dumbledore conjured a handkerchief, and Grindelwald threw in the towel.
Attempts to portray Dumbledore as a conspirator who stepped on his lover and thus became famous.
Even Peter did not escape the accusations of the Daily Prophet, they directly blamed Peter for the Death Eaters' capture of the Ministry of Magic, portrayed Amelia Burns, who Peter rescued, as a traitor to the Ministry of Magic, and suspected that the death of the previous minister Scrimgeour was related to Burns and Peter!
Peter didn't care about the Ministry of Magic and the Death Eaters' methods of pouring dirt.
But the members of the Order of the Phoenix, as well as Amelia Burns, were outraged by this slander.
The members of the Ministry of Magic, led by Amelia, used the newspaper "Singing the Contrarian" as a voice of 25 places to refute the Ministry of Magic's slander and publicly denied the legitimacy of this Ministry, pointing out that the Ministry of Magic has been controlled by the Death Eaters and has become a tool in their hands to control the wizarding world.
Many of the members of the Order of the Phoenix were Ministry of Magic staff, with the Aurors being the largest, so they quickly formed a temporary Ministry of Magic in Hogsmeade, headed by Amelia Burns, the director of the Department of Law Enforcement.
Amelia Burns served as the interim Minister of Magic, Moody served as the Auror Director, Kingsley Shackle, Arthur Weasley, Percy Weasley, the Longbottoms, Sirius and others joined them, and even the members of the Ministry of Magic that Peter had rescued joined the temporary Ministry of Magic.
The emergence of two ministries of magic in the British wizarding world is an unprecedented kind of thing, and the two sides have engaged in fierce verbal battles in the newspapers of various parties.
Amelia Burns tries to convince Peter to help them attack the Ministry of Magic, but Peter refuses.
The current Ministry of Magic is occupied by Death Eaters, with Voldemort sitting behind it.
Before, it was possible to catch Voldemort off guard by surprise.
But now that he had enough time, he didn't believe Voldemort would be unprepared.
And he is not Dumbledore, he carries the rise and fall of the wizarding world on his shoulders, and he does not want to die with Voldemort.
After all, the problem of Horcruxes has not been solved, and no matter how much you toss, it will not help if you can't kill Voldemort.
On the afternoon of Dumbledore's funeral, all parties gathered at Hogwarts, and even Madame Maxime, the headmaster of Beauxbatons, France, rushed to the school in a flying carriage the size of a house pulled by 12 runes.
There are many wizards who come to mourn Dumbledore, and there are even wizards from other countries who come from abroad, and after the people who come to mourn look at Dumbledore's body with a sad expression, they come to Peter and greet him very warmly.
Voldemort led thousands of Death Eaters to attack Hogwarts, but ended up losing a lot of money, and the story of his embarrassed escape spread throughout the wizarding world.
Many people know that it was Peter who alone destroyed most of the Death Eaters and fought off Voldemort to save Hogwarts.
There were even Hogwarts students who happened to use their cameras to capture Peter's control of Wan Thunder and turn into a giant, and then published it in "Singing the Contrarian", which once made the sales of the singing contrarian exceed the sales of the Daily Prophet.
Peter has rightfully become the most famous figure in the wizarding world.
Although the Ministry of Magic and the Daily Prophet, controlled by the Death Eaters, continue to pour dirty water on Peter, portraying him as a murderous devil.
But no matter how slandered, in many people's perceptions, Peter has become another powerful person who can confront Voldemort after Dumbledore.
Although Dumbledore's sudden death caught many wizards by surprise, with the presence of Peter, a person who could oppose Voldemort, many people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Especially many sober-minded people understand that Burns was able to openly form another Ministry of Magic in Hogsmeade, but was not chased by the Ministry of Magic controlled by the Death Eaters, because they had Peter behind them, so they did not dare to run over and suppress it, only dared to fight in the newspaper.
In the face of such a powerful wizard, apart from those loyal to Voldemort or having an enmity with Peter, almost no one would refuse to befriend him.
And compared to Voldemort, more people are more optimistic about Peter, because he is only nineteen years old, such a young age but has the strongest strength in the wizarding world, such a fact has fallen through the cognition of many wizards.
And what's even more eye-catching and revered is that he also has an immortal body! Such a character will always be invincible, and the future is limitless.
Peter was not the one officiating at the funeral today, and Professor McGonagall had tried to have Peter officiate, but he refused.
But now the people who came to mourn, as if they had Peter trackers, grabbed Peter hidden in the professor at a glance, and then enthusiastically stepped forward to shake his hand and express his sadness for Dumbledore's death.
For the enthusiasm of these people, Peter could only express the same grief, silently listening to their gushing reverence for Dumbledore's deeds.
Try to suppress your weird emotions.
Only when everyone buried Dumbledore in a white marble tomb on the edge of the Black Lake and conjured flowers to put on the tombstones did everyone leave.
Before leaving, some wizards did not forget to express their condolences to Peter and expressed their gratitude to his branches.
Upon Dumbledore's death, Professor McGonagall, as Vice-Headmaster, succeeded as Headmaster and officially announced to the public in the Great Hall that Peter York, the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor, was the Vice-Headmaster of the school, and that Peter would be solely responsible for the affairs of the school when she was absent or had any accidents.
"Professor McGonagall, is there something wrong with this?"
Peter was caught off guard, "I mean, other professors have a long teaching experience and are highly loved by their students. And I've only been a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for less than a year, and I'm young, isn't it a little inappropriate? "
"Haha, Peter, you are too modest."
Professor 767 Levy, who was sitting next to Peter, said with a smile, he looked at Peter proudly and said, "You foiled Voldemort's plot and protected the great hero of Hogwarts!" If you're not suitable, then no one can do it! "
"Yes, as the saying goes, you don't have to be old, Peter, although you are young, your strength is far beyond us old guys, and there is no more suitable for the position of vice principal than you."
Slughorn said enthusiastically with red wine, "We have heard that you have inherited Grindelwald's Legion of Saints, and since you can manage such a force, Hogwarts is a piece of cake for you." "
Slughorn drank and blushed, spitting out like a fat walrus, and in a quiet posture, pulled Peter and said in an exaggerated tone: "If it weren't for the propaganda of the Death Eaters, we wouldn't have thought you would have such an identity." Grindelwald's heir, the new leader of the saints! Merlin, this is amazing, you are a big man now! "
You young people have not experienced the years of Grindelwald and do not know the horror of Grindelwald and the saints at that time.
Although Grindelwald has never been to England, many of us have heard of his great name, and there are followers of him all over the world!
Those pure-blood families were almost crazy to worship him.
I was still young at the time, and if it weren't for my parents' restraint, I'm afraid I would have run abroad to follow Grindelwald!
"Peter, you whispered to me, why did Grindelwald hand over his army to you? Is he really planning to retire? "
Slughorn's face came next to Peter, and the smell of alcohol sprayed on Peter's face, and asked in what he thought was a covert movement
