Though the Ministry had announced the place and time of this year's Victis Honor Memorial, they hadn't revealed the exact nature of the event. In past years, people had often gathered at various places across the country - the Hogwarts grounds, Hogsmeade, Dumbledore's tomb and Monument Alley among them - after dark to send up sparks of light into the sky. This year, some clever Ministry official had decided to take advantage of the tradition, and make it even more spectacular.
For the week leading up to Victis Honor day the phoenix statue in Monument Alley had been specially charmed to attract any passing 'lumos' incantations. When darkness fell on the Sunday, each light it had collected would appear somewhere on the stone surface. As more and more lights were added, the idea was that the statue would be covered entirely in light - and at that point, it would flicker like flame for a brief moment and then the statue would be revealed once more, in a slightly different position - as if the phoenix had risen from the ashes.
