Someone mentioned that the place they were in was the Death Chamber.  
Since we know that they hold all of the trials, and there was a dais in the room 
(presumably for decreeing a sentence of death/verdict of some sort), maybe 
they tell people their fate there, and if they're supposed to be killed, they walk 
behind the veil.  Or am I confused and the WW doesn't use the Death Penalty, 
only Azkaban?


Or, MAYBE since Luna made some comment about people being behind 
there, it's just kind of the "gateway" to the next world, and Harry and Luna 
could hear the whispers of their parents and the others heard nothign 
because no one of any great importance was awaiting them in the next 
world?

Those are my two Black Veil theories!
