Jing Shen Tian Si
Harry looked embarrassed, the invisibility cloak couldn't cover the four of them, which meant that one of them couldn't go.
"Why don't I go back to the common room later!" Ron pursed his lips. "Although I don't want to admit it, it's the most reasonable way to keep me."
Harry and Hermione looked at each other and nodded helplessly.
"Don't be so troublesome." Aaron said lightly, and then took out a small glass bottle from Abe's pocket, "The last invisibility potion is enough for a round trip."
"Great, let's go now." Harry said excitedly, and then put on the invisibility cloak to cover Ron and Hermione inside.
Aaron shrugged and fed himself and Abe.
After learning the Illusion Curse, this little potion is tasteless to him, it's tasteless to eat, and it's a pity to throw it away.
But being able to hide a little bit is a little bit, and tonight is when the bottle bottoms out.
A group of people walked through the corridor carefully, avoiding the patrolling prefects, professors and ghosts in the night.
After leaving the castle, Aaron and Abbe exited the invisible state, but Harry and the others still hid in the invisibility cloak and dared not come out.
"As for?
Don't you feel uncomfortable walking like this? "
"Safety first." Harry's voice came from the air, "I think you and Abe should also remain invisible, in case the basilisk targets you."
Aaron rolled his eyes, ignored him, and walked forward with Abe in his arms.
"Aaron, you should know what it means to be careful when sailing for thousands of years!" Hermione reminded, "There is nothing wrong with being cautious."
"First of all, Abbe is the universal radar, and I have full confidence to escape before the basilisk arrives.
Secondly, you have also experienced the intensity of patrolling. At this time, the heir of Slytherin should be trapped in the Gryffindor common room and cannot get out.
He couldn't get out, and the basilisk could only stay in the secret room obediently.
In the end, we have three purebloods here, and the basilisk will only pick on Muggle-born wizards who are alone or in groups. .
In other words, we're still pretty safe right now. Aaron explained patiently, but Harry had no intention of taking off his invisibility cloak, as if this cloak was the only thing that could bring them warmth in the silent night.
They didn't want to get out until they saw the pale yellow lights on the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
After knocking on the door for more than ten seconds, Hagrid opened the door.
He looked very nervous, and aimed at the door with a crossbow while opening the door, and he breathed a sigh of relief after seeing a few people.
"Why are you here?" Hagrid asked suspiciously, "Forget it, come in first, and I'll make you tea."
After they sat down, they noticed that Hagrid's body was shaking constantly, obviously absent-minded, and they didn't notice that the tea overflowed the cup.
"Hagrid, are you alright?" Harry asked with concern.
"It's okay, I'm fine."
"Okay, it won't be like this." Aaron asked meaningfully, "What are you worried about?"
"No, it's nothing." Hagrid said with a sneer, "I'll cut the cake for you!"
"Wait a minute, Hagrid." Harry hurriedly stopped Hagrid, "We have something to ask you about the Chamber of Secrets."
Hagrid paused, turned to look at Aaron and asked, "Did you tell them?"
"I didn't tell them, they found out by themselves.
Although the process was somewhat tortuous and bizarre, they knew everything I knew. "Aaron said helplessly, "They are looking for you to know if you have any other clues here, even if they are not important. "
"It can be seen that you are indeed pushed, but you have to understand..."
Before the words were finished, there was a knock on the door, followed by Ya Ya's dog barking.
"Put on the cloak quickly." Hagrid looked at the door, and immediately said in a low voice, "You guys hide and don't talk."
Several people followed suit immediately, Harry, Hermione, and Ron hid under the invisibility cloak.
Aaron sighed regretfully, divided the remaining invisibility potion into two parts, and drank it cleanly for one person and one dragon.
Seeing that they were all hidden, Hagrid picked up his crossbow and walked to the door.
After opening the door, Hagrid's face turned a little surprised, "Professor Dumbledore."
"Good evening, Hagrid."
Dumbledore walked in, but it wasn't just him, there was a stocky stranger behind him.
"Cornel Fudge?" Aaron raised his eyebrows when he looked at the gray-haired, short, middle-aged wizard with a top hat in his hand, "Did the Ministry of Magic get involved?"
"You know him?" Ron asked in surprise, "That's my dad's immediate boss, the Minister of Magic."
"I come to my house every year, promising various benefits to gain Gaius' support, but I refuse every time.
This person does a good job on the surface, but that's it. He is weak in his bones, obsessed with power, money, suspicious, and until the end he always has a kind of self-confidence. "
"Such a person can also be the Minister of Magic?" Hermione said in disbelief.
"Elected by everyone!
The current wizarding world is fairly peaceful, and it doesn't hurt to leave a mascot in that position, at least he barely has the ability to maintain the status quo. "
Harry poked the two of them with his arm, lowered his voice nervously, "Don't talk yet."
"It's bad, Hagrid, very bad.
I've got to come, three Muggle-born attacks, it's such a big deal that the Ministry of Magic has to act. "
"I haven't." Hagrid turned pale, "You can ask Professor Dumbledore."
"Connelly, I have to tell you," said Dumbledore, "I have absolute trust in Hagrid."
Fudge waved his hand in embarrassment, "Albus, Hagrid's record is not good for him, I have to take him away."
"Take me away?" Hagrid looked at him a little angrily, "Where are you going? It can't be Azkaban, right?"
Fudge felt a little guilty, but didn't deny it, "I have no choice, Hagrid.
But rest assured, the time is short and this is just a precautionary measure.
If you are innocent, we will release you immediately with our full apologies. "
The implication is that you are the scapegoat for the time being, and you can't help but disagree.
Harry couldn't bear it anymore, and wanted to rush out to defend Hagrid, but Ron and Hermione pressed him firmly.
Then there was a knock on the door again, and it was Lucius Malfoy who entered.
He looked at the three people in the room and smiled with satisfaction, "You're already here! Fudge."
"What are you doing here? Get out of my house." Hagrid said bluntly.
"To be honest, I don't want to go into this place at all..." Lucius looked at the hut, his sarcasm mixed with disdain, "This can also be regarded as a house."
"This is a big truth." Aaron pouted, "My dormitory is bigger than this."
"I didn't come to see you." Lucius glanced past Hagrid and landed on Dumbledore. "I just came to school on business, and they told me the headmaster was here."
"Okay! What is your business looking for me?" Dumbledore's tone was calm, but there was a hint of anger in his eyes, obviously he also knew that Malfoy must have no good looking for him.
"I agree with the other directors that you should abdicate." Lucius said as he took out a piece of parchment, "This is the suspension order, and the signatures of all twelve directors, we feel that you have lost control of the overall situation.
If the attacks continued, there would probably be no more Muggle-born wizards left.
In that case, it will undoubtedly be a loss for the school. "
"What? Has Lucius lost his mind?
Even if you don't like Dumbledore, you shouldn't drive him away at this time! "
This time, Aaron couldn't bear it anymore. It didn't matter if Hagrid was imprisoned in Azkaban. He didn't do anything wrong.
But if Dumbledore left the school, the safety of Hogwarts would drop by at least half.
A few professors alone may not be able to protect everyone if the heir really decides to put all his eggs in one basket.
But just as he was about to stand up, he was hugged tightly by the three of Harry, making it difficult to move.
"You can't drive away Professor Dumbledore, without him, who will protect Muggle-born students.
Mark what I said, homicides still happen. said Hagrid loudly.
"That's what I want to say." Aaron very much agreed with Hagrid's point of view, "Anyone can leave, but Dumbledore can't leave."
"But you can't go out now." Hermione hugged him tightly and didn't let go, "Calm down, it won't change anything if you go out."
"Calm down, Hagrid.
If the directors want me to leave, then I will have to step aside.
But please remember..." Dumbledore walked to the corner and looked meaningfully at the invisible people, "At Hogwarts, as long as someone asks for help, they will definitely get it. "
Aaron met Dumbledore's blue gaze, and an embarrassed smile appeared on his face.
Sure enough, such a small method of invisibility can't hide the great magician who stepped into the holy realm with one foot, and what they said and did just now probably didn't escape his eyes.
"It's so touching." Lucius didn't take it seriously, but still pretended to be touched, bowed and said, "Let's go!"
Dumbledore followed Lucius out of the room, but winked at the four of them before leaving.
"Let's go! Hagrid." Fudge looked at Hagrid who was standing still, "OK?"
"If..." Hagrid coughed twice, pretending to glance in the direction of the four of them casually, "I mean if anyone wants to find something, just follow the spider."
"That's all I want to say.
By the way, feed my teeth while I'm away. "
The two walked out of the hut and closed the door.
Harry pulled off the cloak, revealing the three people inside.
Aaron also lifted his stealth status, and he looked angrily at the backs of several people who were getting further and further away outside the window, "He found us, definitely found us.
Especially in the final statement, Dumbledore seems to want to put the treasure on the few of us, and he is full of confidence.
This sixth child, as expected, all the older ones are cunning and cunning bastards. "
"So he's not very well!" Harry said, "I think there must be something deep in Dumbledore's words."
"I don't have to say a word to you, Harry.
There's nothing wrong with believing in someone, but you can't trust someone too much. You and Dumbledore have only met a few times in total! "
"Why don't I go back to the common room later!" Ron pursed his lips. "Although I don't want to admit it, it's the most reasonable way to keep me."
Harry and Hermione looked at each other and nodded helplessly.
"Don't be so troublesome." Aaron said lightly, and then took out a small glass bottle from Abe's pocket, "The last invisibility potion is enough for a round trip."
