For things like secrets, once more people know about them, the risk of exposure will increase exponentially. Both Dumbledore and Snape deeply understood and experienced this.
So in order to make the plan go smoothly and reduce the chance of failure as much as possible, Dumbledore actually didn't even tell Professor McGonagall at the beginning.
just
Who got Fisch involved?
In fact, when he recruited Mao Mao to join the gang, he was already mentally prepared to let Professor McGonagall and Hermione know the whole plan, but Professor Slughorn and Madam Pomfrey were definitely not among them.
Professor Slughorn is okay to say, after all, he knows about Horcruxes, and he has something to do with them. As long as Dumbledore mentions the Horcruxes, he will be embarrassed to express his dissatisfaction.
But Madam Pomfrey is more troublesome. Not only is she one of the people who have worked with Dumbledore the longest in the whole school, but when St. Mungo wanted to recruit Madam Pomfrey, she also wanted to keep Dumbledore Stayed at Hogwarts.
"Cough! Bobby, I have a last resort to do this" Dumbledore coaxed Madam Pomfrey in a low voice, and took the time to cast a complaining look at Snape.
"They said they want to try to see if they can cure you, so I can't stop them?" Snape raised the corners of his mouth gloatingly, "I've reminded you before that the time you gave is too tight, the powerful potion The master can still see the flaws."

Fortunately, Madam Pomfrey is not a ignorant person. She was really angry because she was deceived by Dumbledore just now, but after she calmed down, she also guessed that he probably had some plans After all, Dumbledore Although people are usually a little crazy, they don't make jokes about this kind of thing.
"Albus, what is it that requires you to play dead to deceive everyone?" Madam Pomfrey asked.
In fact, Dumbledore didn't need to answer. She actually guessed the reason to some extent. Except for the person who couldn't even mention his name, who else needed him to spend so much time.
Now that it can't be concealed, Dumbledore can only drag Professor Slughorn and Madam Pomfrey into the water, thanks to the fact that he asked Harry to obtain Professor Slughorn's memory and let Dumbledore know He can be trusted.
"This incident started when Fisch took a black diary and told me about it when he was in the second grade"
"How's the situation? Madam Pomfrey?"
When Snape and Professor Slughorn returned to Professor McGonagall's office, Hagrid, who had been staring at the door, rushed up first and asked nervously.
Professor Slughorn sighed, shook his head with regret, and said: "Albus has two powerful and ancient black magic entangled in him, and it is difficult for me to solve one of them alone. Now this situation sorry, there's nothing I can do"
"Madame Pomfrey is taking care of Dumbledore, you'd better not bother him for the time being." Snape added on the side.
The main reason is that Madam Pomfrey's acting skills are not very good. Dumbledore was worried that she would show her flaws, so he simply used this excuse to avoid other people's inquiries.
Hagrid wailed, and covered his face with huge palms. Tears flowed from between his fingers, and soon wet his beard and front skirt. Several other professors also showed sadness, and the office Only Hagrid whimpered.
Professor Slughorn still felt a little guilty about deceiving his colleagues. He glanced at Hagrid and the others ashamedly, and said in a low voice, "Sorry, I'm going back first" Then he turned and left.
Others just thought he was blaming himself for failing to cure Dumbledore, and didn't suspect anything
After all, no one else would have imagined that several colleagues, including Madam Pomfrey and Professor McGonagall, would join forces with Dumbledore to deceive them and all the students at Hogwarts with such things as "seriously injured and dying" ,
And the entire wizarding world.
As the rumors were "confirmed" by the teachers and students of Hogwarts, the news that Dumbledore was dying soon spread throughout England, and was still spreading to other countries.
The "Daily Prophet" also changed its attitude last year, and took out a large number of pages, reporting Dumbledore's contributions at length.
Now everyone is more sure of the authenticity of the rumor, and the entire English magic world is plunged into sadness.
Dumbledore taught at Hogwarts and served as headmaster for many years, and alsoAs the absolute main force against Voldemort more than ten years ago, there are countless wizards who have received his favor.
Even some pure-blood wizards who did not agree with his ideas, after learning that Dumbledore was about to die, sent letters and gifts of condolences to Hogwarts.
Some people even linked Dumbledore to the attack on Hogwarts not long ago. They believed that Dumbledore was probably seriously injured at that time in order to protect the students.
So angry people began to send letters to the Ministry of Magic, asking them to hang Umbridge and others involved in the attack, as well as the mastermind Cornelius Fudge.
Amid all the commotion, the Hogwarts students finished their final exams, and while they were waiting for their results, they were greeted with the news of Dumbledore's death.
Then, Hogwarts held a very grand funeral. In addition to all the teachers and students of Hogwarts, many wizards came from all over to attend Dumbledore's funeral. Even Maxim The lady flew to Hogwarts in her same carriage, drawn by the giant rune horses.
Naturally, someone from the Ministry of Magic also came over. Piers Sinix, who was controlled by Voldemort, came to the scene in person and asked Professor McGonagall to pay his respects to Dumbledore's remains.
Professor McGonagall knew his real purpose in doing this - to confirm Dumbledore's body for Voldemort.
However, Professor McGonagall still agreed to his request, because Fisher had already asked from Winky how little Barty was replaced by Old Barty out of Azkaban.
This time Dumbledore faked his death and used the same method. They found an old wizard who was really dying, and after asking for his consent, they fed him compound soup mixed with Dumbledore's hair agent.
After "looking at" Dumbledore's body, Sinnix sat down by the Black Lake with satisfaction.
As the seats beside the Black Lake gradually filled up, the funeral began.
The murlocs sang from the Black Lake. They sang in a strange language that no one else could understand except Fisch.
Immediately afterwards, Fox, who had been standing on Fisch's shoulders, raised his head high, and sang a beautiful but sad song in tune with the melody of the murlocs.
It's just that in Fisher's ears, Fox's singing is not sad at all, because the lyrics in Phoenix's mouth are¡ª¡ª
"Albus? Dumbledore is a big fool~Why do I have to sing such a boring song~ What a trouble! What a trouble! What a trouble!"
Finally, when Hagrid, with red eyes and tearful eyes, carried the body wrapped in purple velvet studded with gold stars to the marble table in front, the singing of the murlocs ended, and Fox naturally stopped.
A small man with thick hair and wearing a plain black robe stood up from his seat, stood in front of Dumbledore's body, and began to read the eulogy that made Fish drowsy, but in order not to show his flaws, the cat The cat still tried hard to maintain a serious expression.
Finally, when the eulogy was finished and the little wizard returned to his seat, Fisher saw dazzling white flames jumping out from the body of "Dumbledore" and around the table: the flames were getting higher and higher. , covering the remains.
White smokebirds soared into the air, taking on all sorts of strange shapes: for a moment it seemed that a phoenix flew merrily into the blue sky, but then the flames disappeared and there appeared a white marble tomb, The body of "Dumbledore" and the table on which the body was placed were all wrapped in it.
Countless arrows flew out of the nearby woods like a shower, flew high into the sky, and then fell far away from the crowd - this is the centaur seeing off Dumbledore.
After shooting this shower of arrows, the centaur turned around and disappeared into the shady bushes. The murlocs also sank slowly into the green bottom, and were never seen again.
Fish shook his ears, and suddenly felt that Dumbledore's situation at Hogwarts might be very bad after Voldemort was resolved.
