SIRIUS ORION BLACK and Remus John Lupin lie in state in Westminster Hall for two weeks, in magical stasis, whereafter they are buried in a tomb under a newly-erected monument to the Heroes of Albion, which had been installed at the centre of Green Park in the interim. It is estimated that more people attended in person than any state funeral on record, in addition to those who listen on the wireless. It is also the first national broadcast to air on the newly restored telly service. Later, a statuary is added to the monument, depicting a wolf and a very large dog, standing on either side of a young man with spectacles, a gangling figure, and unruly hair. In years to come, the monument is a site for rallies, candlelight vigils, remembrances, marches, speeches, the occasional protest, and many a picnic luncheon, too. Wreaths are placed upon it every Remembrance and Victory Day.
