Chapter 635: Villain

In the evening, while Hagrid was preparing dinner in the kitchen, an owl flew in from the window and threw a note on the table.

"Who sent it?"

Hagrid looked at the flying owl suspiciously, wiped his hand on his apron, picked up the note and opened it and glanced at it. He was stunned by the contents of the note.

Another attack occurred in Hogwarts Castle!

Hagrid raised his head and looked at the castle through the window, with anxiety and trepidation in his eyes.

This is definitely the worst news Hagrid has received in recent months, and the Muggle wizard who was attacked by the Slytherin heir is the Hermione Granger he knew.

To be honest, Hagrid liked this smart and kind girl. He had been at Hogwarts for so many years, and Hermione was one of the few students who had a good relationship with Hagrid.

After reading it, Hagrid threw the note into the fireplace and said to himself: "Mandrake will be harvested for medicine soon. She will be fine, she will be fine."

After half a year of silence, Slytherin's heir is now starting to move around again, which is undoubtedly bad news for Hagrid, and even worse according to Albert's statement. If the attack continues, it will be his turn to be unlucky next.

Even Hagrid had to admit that Albert's prediction was really accurate, and just a few hours after Hermione was attacked, an owl from the Ministry of Magic sent him a letter.

Even without reading it, you can guess what is written in it.

For any letter from the Ministry of Magic, there must be nothing good in that letter.

To be honest, Hagrid didn't have the slightest impression of the Ministry of Magic.

After reading the letter, Hagrid knew that he was going to enter Azkaban.

Hagrid had stayed there for a while, and it was a very bad experience.

He didn't want to go to Azkaban.

After a panic, Hagrid decided to write a letter to Albert, seeking his advice, and Professor Dumbledore, he must know he was innocent.

When Hagrid was considering asking for help from Dumbledore, Albert's words reverberated in his head: "Do you think they don't know you are innocent? No, of course they know it, just because you are the best to carry it. After all, this matter always needs someone to take responsibility."

Hagrid slumped down on the chair, and Hound Fang seemed to feel the master's depression, making an uneasy whining sound, and constantly rubbing Hagrid with his head, trying to provide some comfort to the master.

Yup!

Albert had predicted this day, so he would say those things to himself then.

Hagrid took a deep breath, touched the toothy dog's head with a trembling hand, took the parchment and quill from the cabinet, and began to write a letter to Albert.

In fact, Hagrid's mind is now in a mess, and he doesn't know what he should write to Albert.

If you are thrown into Azkaban prison by the Ministry of Magic, you always need someone to fix your teeth and entrust them to Albert?

This was a good idea, but Hagrid quickly thought that Albert was also a Muggle wizard, and he was also at risk of being targeted by the Slytherin heir.

He can't let Albert take a risk, if even Albert is petrified!

No, you can't let Albert take a risk!

Don't let Albert happen.

Can't!

Hagrid crumpled the messy parchment into a ball and threw it into the fireplace next to it. The ball of paper burned in the flames and quickly turned into a pile of ashes.

Before Hagrid could write a letter to Albert, a paper airplane swooped into the house from the window and landed smoothly on the wooden table in front of Hagrid.

Hagrid quickly threw down the quill, and picked up the paper airplane like a treasure, carefully opened it, and concentrated on reading the contents.

It was Albert's letter, he guessed it.

Hagrid looked at the contents of the letter over and over again, as if to keep every word in the letter firmly in his mind. The letter and instructions from Albert greatly encouraged Hagrid.

"Yes, I am innocent," Hagrid murmured.

When the Ministry of Magic knew that he was innocent, he even arrested innocent people and put them in Azkaban.

The purpose is to make him bear the blame.

hateful!

Hagrid was so strong that he almost crushed the letter paper.

However, Albert thought that he would be released from Azkaban before the end of the semester, which gave Hagrid a lot of confidence.

Hagrid was willing to believe Albert's words, although he didn't want to go to Azkaban again, but it was unavoidable.

Even if Albert's letter strengthened Hagrid's confidence, the period from dinner to late night was still a painful torment for Hagrid.

In the middle of the night, Hagrid's hunting lodge was still lit, and he was waiting for someone from the Ministry of Magic. In fact, Hagrid had been sitting there waiting for hours.

There was a slight footstep outside, causing Hagrid to tighten his nerves.

A few seconds later, the wooden door was knocked.

Hagrid opened the door suddenly and found that there was no one outside.

The next moment, Harry and Ron appeared without warning, and they sneaked out of the castle wearing invisibility cloaks.

"What are you two doing here?" Hagrid didn't understand why Harry and Ron had to venture out of the castle at this time.

"Have you heard about Hermione?" Harry put away the cloak and walked into the room.

Hagrid probably understood what they were thinking, Albert had told him about it, and Harry and Ron were probably here to ask about the secret room.

"I heard." Hagrid's voice was choked. "Sit down first. I'll make tea for you."

"Hagrid, what's the matter with you?"

Harry noticed that Hagrid was absent-minded, always looking nervously at the window, even overturning the teapot, and when he made tea for them, he forgot to put the tea bag, and only poured a large glass of boiling water for each of them.

"You shouldn't have come." Hagrid regained his gaze from the window and said quickly to Harry and Ron, "I know what you want to ask, but I am afraid it is too late."

"What's too late?"

Harry and Ron didn’t understand what Hagrid was talking about, so they listened to Hagrid mockingly: “The secret room has nothing to do with me. Albert even said that with my IQ, there is no place for the secret room. Let alone become Slytherin's heir."

Harry and Ron looked at each other with embarrassment. Hagrid clearly knew what they were looking for in the middle of the night.

"If you want to know more, go to Albert." Hagrid was looking out the window again, "By the way, when I'm away, remember to feed my teeth."

"what?"

Harry and Ron didn't understand the meaning of Hagrid's last words, but at this time there was a knock on the door.

Harry and Ron exchanged glances uneasily, and they could only quickly hide under the invisibility cloak and retreat into the corner.

Hagrid saw the two of them hiding, before opening the door.

The one who knocked on the door was Dumbledore.

Harry felt that Professor Dumbledore's gaze was particularly severe tonight, and a short and fat wizard followed him.

As long as you often read the Daily Prophet, it is not difficult to recognize this person as the current Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge.

What happened next was in Albert's expectation. Because Hagrid had a so-called conviction record, the Ministry of Magic planned to keep him in the wrong.

Professor Dumbledore was unhappy with such a decision. He tried to persuade Fudge, but he still couldn't change anything. Just like back then, he couldn't convince anyone at all.

Hagrid can only hope that Albert's prediction will be on time, and he will be released from the prison of Azkaban before the end of the semester.

As for the so-called precautions that Cornelius Fudge said, it sounds ridiculous to Hagrid.

If you catch another person, will you be released and apologize fully?

This is the style of the Ministry of Magic, which is very political in Albert's words.

"Will the Ministry of Magic publish the report and apologize? I mean if I prove to be innocent." Hagrid took a deep breath, staring at Fudge with his eyes straight, and said something coldly in his mouth.

Not only was Fudge stunned, even Harry, Ron, including Dumbledore were stunned. They didn't expect Hagrid to make such a request.

This is what Albert suggested to Hager.

"What are you talking about, I didn't hear clearly?" Fudge stammered a bit. He didn't even look at Hagrid's eyes. No one expected Hagrid to be so determined. His tone was not like a threat, but to all People say: I am innocent, I am not afraid!

"If it turns out that I am innocent, will the Ministry of Magic report and apologize?" Hagrid took a deep breath again, his voice loud enough for everyone present to hear him clearly.

This time, there was no vibrato in his voice, only firmness and self-confidence. He was willing to believe in Albert, willing to believe that the other party had a way to prove his innocence, and more willing to believe his prediction!

Yes, prophecy!

At this moment, even Dumbledore couldn't help but frowned. He didn't expect Hagrid to be so tough suddenly. When his eyes met Hagrid, Dumbledore knew the reason.

Yes, Hagrid doesn’t need to fear the Ministry at all, because he was innocent, and someone told him this clearly, which undoubtedly gave Hagrid courage and confidence, and even if he slowed down, he couldn’t change what he was about to change. The fact of going to Azkaban.

"Oh, that's... of course." Fudge stammered.

The thought of being imprisoned in Azkaban for a few months made Hagrid look at Fudge even more unhappy. Especially the respect for the Minister of Magic in the past is not left at all now.

Yup!

Such Fudge is not worthy of his respect.

Now, Hagrid is more willing to trust Albert, believing that he will clean up his grievances for himself.

Harry and Ron, who were hiding in the corner, looked at all of this dumbfounded. They didn't understand where Hagrid's confidence came from, but watching Fudge who was babbling, Harry's mood suddenly became happy, and he also felt that Hagrid was innocent, and the Minister of Magic actually locked Hagrid because Hagrid had the so-called criminal record instead of evidence, which was simply unreasonable.

At this moment, the door of the room was knocked again.

Dumbledore went to open the door, and this time Lucius Malfoy appeared at the door.

A guy who hated Hagrid.

Intuition tells Hagrid that there must be nothing good for Lucius Malfoy to appear here.

It turns out that Hagrid's instincts were right, and it was no good for Lucius Malfoy to appear at his door.

The guy took a piece of parchment directly from his pocket and announced in front of everyone that Dumbledore had been dismissed by the school board. The reason was: "Dumbledore failed to stop these attacks."

This announcement undoubtedly frightened Fudge. Even Fudge's poor brain knew that if Dumbledore couldn't stop the attack, who could stop it?

However, Fudge was unable to prevent this from happening, just as Dumbledore couldn't prevent Hagrid from being thrown into Azkaban by the Ministry of Magic.

"You did this thing, right!" Hagrid stared at Malfoy ill-intentioned. Albert once said that if anyone wants to drive Dumbledore away at this time, his eight achievements are related to him.

"A word of advice." Lucius Malfoy's mouth curled up with a smug smile. "The guards of Azkaban don't like someone yelling at them like this."

"How many people have you threatened and blackmailed to force them to agree to dismiss Dumbledore?" Hagrid gritted his teeth and said, "You are the ghost of all this, right, you wake up the monster in the secret room, yes You deliberately let it attack the Muggle wizard, and now you have taken Dumbledore away again, just not leaving a way for the Muggle wizard..."

"You really look like a mad dog biting people on the head right now." Malfoy didn't care about Hagrid's threat.

"Calm down, Hagrid." Dumbledore suppressed Hagrid's accusations severely. He turned to look at Malfoy and said, "If the board wants me to go, of course I will give up my seat."

"But..." Fudge couldn't imagine how deteriorating the situation would be once Dumbledore left the school, and how much blame he would receive.

"Now, are you happy." Hagrid glared at Fudge and said, "I think you know that as long as Dumbledore leaves the school, murder will happen soon, and you will find that even if you throw me out of Azkar Ban prison is also meaningless."

"I believe your successor will be able to completely prevent... the murder. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com" Malfoy strode to the door of the cabin, opened it personally, and bowed to send Dumbledore out.

Lucius Malfoy's movements made Harry want to rush up and give him a kick in the ass, causing him to throw a dog and eat shit.

After Hagrid followed Fudge to leave, the door of the hunting lodge slammed shut.

"This is trouble." Ron tore off the invisibility cloak and said nervously, "Dumbledore is gone, who can stop the attack?"

"Albert!" Harry said suddenly.

"Don't forget, he is a Muggle wizard, on the Slytherin list of attacks." Ron reminded.

"No, I mean we should go talk to Albert, I think he knows a lot of things we don't know, maybe, now only he knows what happened in school."

"Then we better hurry up before he is attacked." Ron murmured, leaving Hagrid's hunting lodge with Harry, leaving behind the teeth that were scratching the door.
