Chapter 556 Hagrid is Arrested

Chapter 556 Hagrid is Arrested
That night, at the edge of the forbidden forest.

Umbridge's pink robe was particularly eye-catching in the night. Her fat face was grayish due to the cold wind. She was holding an unfolded parchment in her hand.

"I have an anonymous report here." She said grimly to the people around her, "saying that Rubeus Hagrid is illegally in possession of a wand and is hiding it in a pink umbrella."

She suddenly found the letter of complaint in the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office this afternoon.

The content of the letter made her overjoyed. Everyone knew that she hated Hagrid, the half-giant, and Hagrid was one of Dumbledore's most loyal core subordinates, so she did not waste any time to immediately gather people and made the decision to arrest Hagrid that night.

The five Aurors beside him were calm and silent, wearing combat robes, wands tightly held in their hands. The leader, John Dawlish, had an eager expression on his face. If this battle was successful, his position in the Ministry of Magic would become more and more important in the future, and it might even be possible for him to replace Scrimgeour who had lost the trust of Minister Fudge.

Grisham, who was standing on the other side of the team, ignored Umbridge's noise and only lowered his head to check the three short blades and several strangely shaped magic bottles on his waist. His eyes were filled with the excitement of a hunter, and he seemed to be looking forward to the upcoming hunt.

Dozens of steps behind them, an invisible phantom was sneaking silently behind them.

Shaylin Malfoy stood between the moonlight and the shadows, hiding his figure and breath under the double cover of the invisible illusion spell and the Supreme Wizard robe. The anonymous letter of complaint was naturally his masterpiece -

He didn't hate Hagrid, but Umbridge would eventually deal with Hagrid regardless of whether he had this letter or not, so the purpose of this letter of denunciation was to allow him to accurately grasp the day when Umbridge would take action against Hagrid.

He touched the snake-shaped ring on his finger, which was flashing green light of a special frequency, as if expressing some signal.

"Bang bang bang!"

A rough knock on the door exploded in the night, shaking the glass of Hagrid's hut slightly.

"Who is it?" A familiar voice sounded in the room - with a hint of alertness.

"I'm Headmaster Umbridge. Here's an urgent order from the Ministry of Magic!" Umbridge said in a shrill voice, but her tone was full of undisguised malice. "Open the door, Hagrid!"

Hagrid opened the door slowly. His hound Fang seemed to sense that the visitor was not friendly and barked loudly from inside the house, as if to warn these late night visitors.

Hagrid was not as rough as he appeared. At this time, he also knew that Umbridge and others had bad intentions. He stood at the door, looking at the seven people in front of him vigilantly, holding a pink umbrella in his hand.

A few seconds later, a dull sound of a wooden table falling over was heard from inside the house, followed by a bright red light flashing out from the window.

"Attack!" screamed Umbridge.

"What are you doing!" Hagrid roared and rushed out of the door, waving the pink umbrella in his hand violently, and a powerful explosive spell knocked over the two Aurors in the front row!
"He does have a wand!" Umbridge screamed, commanding, "Don't fight him head-on, force him into the forest!"

Umbridge was worried that the battle here would attract intervention from other Hogwarts professors, especially the head deans, all of whom were very powerful. Once they showed up, tonight's raid would become even more difficult, so she had already planned to capture Hagrid in the Forbidden Forest.

Hagrid waved his umbrella wildly in rage and ran deep into the Forbidden Forest while roaring.

Several Aurors followed closely behind, casting binding magic along the way, but Hagrid's giant bloodline gave him amazing resistance. He broke free from the restraints several times, crushed the ground, broke thick trees, and finally rushed into the Forbidden Forest.

The forest was chilly, with animal shadows dancing and dead branches cracking underfoot. Umbridge and the others panted as they tracked Hagrid. With Grisham's experience, they finally set a trap in a canyon-like forest valley.

"It's right here," Grisham whispered, smiling grimly. He calmly placed his wand on the ground and whispered, "Quarantine Transfiguration."

The ground suddenly became like quicksand, and Hagrid fell into knee-deep mud before he was careful.

"Haaaah!" He roared and struggled, waving his hands to knock the two Aurors away, but the next second, several chains whizzed towards him -

"Iron Chain Transfiguration Spell!"

Five thick chains came at him from all sides like living snakes, wrapping around his hands, feet, and torso, with the last chain latching onto his throat.

"Ugh uh - get out of here!" Hagrid's voice became hoarse and violent, his muscles swelled, and he forcibly broke the chain on one of his arms, and the huge force caused the mud to splash everywhere.

"His resistance is too high!" one of the Aurors shouted.

"Get out of the way, I'm using a nerve paralysis solution!" Grisham ordered coldly, and he threw a gray-purple glass bottle, hitting Hagrid in the chest. The bottle exploded, and a strong gas instantly filled Hagrid's body.

The gas transformed from the nerve paralysis fluid was inhaled from Hagrid's nostrils, ears, mouth, etc., and could even be slowly absorbed through Hagrid's rough skin. Hagrid's movements began to slow down, and his eyes began to become unfocused.

"You... are despicable... I just--" He growled softly and fell to his knees. A feeling of numbness filled his whole body, leaving him no strength left.

"He is unable to move and has been taken to Azkaban." Umbridge raised her chin high with a disgustingly smug expression.

Xie Ling, who was hiding nearby and observing with cold eyes, couldn't help but sigh that the trip was worthwhile, as it allowed him to get a glimpse of the true strength of the Ministry of Magic.

In the original world, Umbridge also took several Aurors to try to arrest Hagrid, but their strategy of trying to knock Hagrid unconscious with a Stunning Spell was obviously ineffective. Hagrid's resistance to spells was too high, and Hagrid eventually succeeded in breaking through by taking advantage of the terrain and escaped seriously injured.

This time, because Umbridge was accompanied by Grisham, who was familiar with the abilities and characteristics of giants, the search party did not attack Hagrid directly. Instead, they chose to use restrictive magic, such as the Quagmire Charm and the Transfiguration Charm, and finally succeeded in taking down Hagrid.

Just as Umbridge was feeling proud, a low sound of horse hooves came from the woods.

A group of centaurs emerged silently from the darkness.

Leader Bain walked out of the shade of the trees, took a look and watched all this coldly.

"Wizards, according to our agreement with Hogwarts, this is our territory," he said angrily, "You have violated the peace and tranquility of the Forbidden Forest and violated the agreement."

Umbridge and her team had already successfully completed their mission, and now they only needed to take Hagrid away. Although Hagrid and the centaurs had always had a good relationship, the arrogant and aloof centaurs had no reason to conflict with Hogwarts or the Ministry of Magic for Hagrid.

Unfortunately, Umbridge has always discriminated against the different groups in the magical world. In her mind, they are just a group of mentally retarded, uncivilized and barbaric people.

She didn't care about Bane's accusation at all. Instead, she sneered and raised her chin: "Shut up, you are just a bunch of beasts. You are not qualified to meddle in the affairs of wizards."

These words were like a flame that ignited hay. The group of centaurs immediately became agitated, and all raised their bows and arrows and spears.

"We should nail you to a tree." Bane said in a low voice with red eyes when he heard the other party insulting the centaur.

call out--!
An arrow flew past Umbridge's ear and pierced the ground.

The air condensed at this moment.

The next second—the centaurs launched a charge.

Fighting breaks out.

Arrows whistled like a storm, Aurors and centaurs fought in a melee, lightning and fire intertwined, trees fell one after another, sparks flew. Grisham's move was extremely clean and neat, he cut the bowstring of a centaur with one knife, and then threw the short blade into the opponent's shoulder.

Umbridge was knocked down by a centaur in the chaos, screaming, her wand was crushed, and she could only roll in the mud to survive.

Until all five Aurors were injured, Grisham saw that the situation was not good and threw a bottle of potion. The broken bottle emitted thick green smoke. Finally, the Aurors finally dragged the semi-conscious Hagrid away. Umbridge was also carried away by Grisham, and the bloody battle ended.

The centaurs did not want to pursue and retreated into the forest.

Schelling watched all this coldly and smiled with a look of triumph - the centaur's appearance here was naturally Shalfu's masterpiece, and Umbridge's mouth did not disappoint Schelling's expectations. She irritated the centaur with just one encounter, and finally, as Schelling expected, the two sides had a big fight.

In fact, Umbridge lost her wand so quickly because of Sherin's secretive actions. His silent and invisible spellcasting skills were already perfect, and it was easy for him to cast a simple little magic to make Umbridge trip without being noticed. The final result was just as he expected -

Just now, Sherin saw clearly that Umbridge was shot by at least ten arrows, and her limbs were trampled countless times by the iron hooves of the centaurs.

The arrows of the centaurs are not to be trifled with. In the original book, they can even kill giants. I think such an injury is enough to keep her in St. Mungo's Hospital for several months.

That is to say, before the end of this semester, Umbridge will never appear in school again. And without Umbridge——

The long-silent Mianlong Society finally has an opportunity to revive.

And the price of all this was just that Hagrid was sent to Azkaban.
