Chapter 1368

Of course, what concerned the professors most was actually how to handle the bodies. Although Professor Flitwick had cast a large-scale Freezing Charm on the pile of Dark wizard corpses to ensure they wouldn't decay and produce foul odors in the short term, there was no telling how long the charm would hold, and getting rid of those bodies all at once was imperative. Many professors actually agreed with Albert's disposal plan, but they couldn't act on it—at least not directly. To this end, the Ministry of Magic would issue an announcement in the Daily Prophet allowing the families of the deceased to come and claim their dead, while unclaimed bodies would be cremated and buried together. There was no help for it; the sheer number of enemy corpses was simply overwhelming to process, and they lacked both the time and the energy. Naturally, the bodies of their own fallen would be handled properly; Professor McGonagall had already discussed this with Percy just moments ago. Perhaps the heroes wouldn't receive the treatment heroes deserved, but everyone knew that Kingsley had done his best. After all, the Ministry was currently in complete disarray, and Kingsley definitely needed to stabilize the situation there first.
