Chapter 203: Capturing Hagrid

Dumbledore still raised his lips slightly, his eyes showing a calmness and composure, and slowly said: "No, no, no, Cornelius, please don't misunderstand me. Yes, it was indeed me who instructed Harry to form this so-called 'Dumbledore's Army'."

When Harry Potter heard this, his heart suddenly tightened, and he immediately retorted: "No, this is entirely my own idea, and it has nothing to do with the principal!"

His voice was rapid and firm, as if he wanted to use all his strength to prove the principal's innocence.

Because he knew very well that the principal was taking the blame for him just to protect himself from being expelled from the school!

However, before Harry could finish his words, the headmaster reached out and patted him gently on the shoulder, signaling him to be quiet.

Then, Dumbledore looked at Cornelius again, his tone calm but unquestionable: "Okay, Harry, you don't have to defend me. The facts are in front of us. It is obvious that this confidentiality agreement says 'Dumbledore's Army', not 'Potter's Army'! I ordered Harry to set up this organization, so all the responsibility is borne by me alone!"

"Just admit it. Now Dumbledore, you have to go with us!" The Aurors who came with them moved forward slowly at Fudge's instruction, wanting to capture Dumbledore directly!

"That's right, Dumbledore, you will spend your next life in Azkaban!" Umbridge screamed at the side, her distorted face full of pride and madness, as if she had seen the miserable situation of Dumbledore after being imprisoned.

However, facing the crowd that was pressing on step by step, Dumbledore was not afraid at all. On the contrary, his eyes were shining with determination.

When Fudge realized that Dumbledore did not surrender and even had the intention of attacking him, he could not help but take a deep breath.

Various legends about Dumbledore's past and his amazing and glorious achievements flashed through his mind.

Thinking of this, his originally tough tone suddenly became a little trembling: "Dumbledore...you...you should not be too arrogant. There are five of us. Even if you are strong, you may not be able to knock down all of us at the same time!"

Hearing this, Dumbledore raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a strange smile: "Then don't force me..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hands high. In an instant, a dazzling light flashed, and a phoenix with blazing flames all over its body - Fox appeared out of thin air.

Fox spread his broad wings and let out a clear and melodious cry, accompanied by a burst of blazing flames.

Fudge and the other five were horrified when they saw this, and quickly waved their wands to try to resist the sudden attack. But Dumbledore's magic was too powerful, and the defensive spells they cast were broken in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, a few muffled sounds were heard, and Fudge and others all felt dizzy and fell to the ground.

And Dumbledore has disappeared without a trace!

The next morning, the sun shone through the clouds onto the campus of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but the entire school was shrouded in a layer of haze.

Umbridge's disgusting face flushed with excitement and eagerness, and she couldn't wait to issue Educational Order No. 28, officially announcing that she would serve as the headmaster of Hogwarts.

This news was like a thunderclap, exploding among the young wizards. It was especially a heavy blow to those young wizards in Dumbledore's Army.

However, Umbridge was also facing a thorny problem at this time - since yesterday, no matter how hard she tried, she could no longer step into the headmaster's office.

This made her, who was already irritable, even more angry, and the anger in her heart burned fiercely. With nowhere to vent, she soon turned this nameless anger to the small house outside Hogwarts.

The owner of this hut is Hagrid, who is loyal to Dumbledore. Ever since Hagrid's mysterious return that day, Umbridge has been trying to expel him from school.

But because Dumbledore was still in office at the time, under his strong pressure, Umbridge had no choice but to temporarily suspend Hagrid.

But now the situation is different. Umbridge has become the headmistress, and she feels that the time has finally come for her to do whatever she wants.

So Umbridge quickly summoned four powerful Aurors and led them towards Hagrid's hut in a menacing manner.

Along the way, Umbridge kept urging everyone to speed up, as if she was afraid that they would miss some important opportunity if they were a second late.

When they finally arrived in front of Hagrid's hut, Umbridge kicked the door open and roared, "Come on, Hagrid! Where is Dumbledore? And where did you go when you disappeared inexplicably some time ago? Did you go to gather Dumbledore's lackeys?"

Facing the aggressive and arrogant Umbridge, Hagrid's disgust became stronger. He had no good feelings towards this annoying woman, and now he was completely enraged, with raging anger burning in his huge eyes.

However, since Hagrid himself was not good at expressing himself with words, he could only stare at Umbridge with angry eyes, as if he wanted to eat her alive with his eyes.

Umbridge did not hesitate to regard a "naughty element" like Hagrid as a serious provocation. She had a hideous smile on her twisted face and gnashed her teeth as she roared, "Catch him!"

Following this order, the Aurors following her took action one after another. They raised their wands, muttered something, and dazzling beams of magic light shot towards Hagrid.

However, Hagrid did not show any fear. Although he did not have a magic wand, he had the powerful blood of a giant flowing in his body, and he had an extremely strong body and excellent resistance to magic.

He stood there with his arms outstretched, like an insurmountable mountain, easily blocking most of the attacks. Those spells that were originally powerful were like raindrops falling on stones when they hit him, only splashing some weak sparks, and could not cause any substantial damage.

However, the Aurors present were clearly not going to give up. Seeing that ordinary spells had no effect on Hagrid, they had a fierce look in their eyes and decided to use more lethal spells. For a moment, the air was filled with a tense atmosphere, and a fierce confrontation was about to break out.

At this moment, the group of little wizards who had been standing aside and watching quietly suddenly widened their eyes. They looked at each other, with expressions of fear and worry on their faces.
