Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 635: The 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 the apron, picked up the note, opened it and glanced at it, and was stunned by the contents of the note.

Another attack at Hogwarts Castle!

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

This is absolutely the worst news Hagrid has received in recent months, and the Muggle wizard attacked by the Slytherin heir is the Hermione Granger he knows.

Honestly, Hagrid likes this bright and kind girl very much. He has been at Hogwarts for so many years, and Hermione is one of the few students who has a good relationship with Hagrid.

Hagrid threw the note into the fireplace after reading it, and said to himself, "The mandrakes will be ready to harvest soon, she'll be fine, she'll be fine."

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

Even Hagrid had to admit that Albert's predictions were very accurate, and within hours of Hermione's attack, an owl from the Ministry sent him a letter.

You can guess what's written in it without looking at it.

Any letter from the Ministry of Magic is sure to have nothing good in it.

Honestly, Hagrid doesn't like the Ministry at all.

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

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

He doesn't want to go to Azkaban.

After some panic, Hagrid decides to write to Albert seeking his advice, and Professor Dumbledore, who must know he is innocent.

As Hagrid considered asking Dumbledore for help, Albert's words replayed in his head: "You think they don't know you're innocent? No, of course they do, just because you fit the best. Take the blame, after all, someone always needs to take responsibility for this matter."

Hagrid slumped down on the chair, the hound Fang Ya also seemed to sense his master's low mood, making a whimpering uneasy sound, and kept rubbing his head against Hagrid, trying to offer some comfort to his master.

Yes!

Albert predicted this day long ago, so that's why he said those words to himself at that time.

Hagrid took a deep breath, touched Fang's head with trembling hands, took the parchment and quill from the cabinet, and began to write to Albert.

Actually, Hagrid's mind is in a mess right now, and he doesn't even know what to write to Albert.

If you are thrown into Azkaban prison by the Ministry of Magic, will someone always take care of Ya Ya and entrust Ya Ya to Albert?

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

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

No, Albert can't be risked!

Don't let anything happen to Albert.

No!

Hagrid crumpled the messy piece of parchment and threw it into the fireplace next to it, where it burned in the flames and quickly turned to ashes.

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

Hagrid hurriedly dropped the quill, picked up the paper airplane like a treasure, and carefully opened it, focusing on reading the contents.

It's Albert's letter, he guessed.

Hagrid looked at the contents of the letter over and over again, as if to keep every sentence in the letter firmly in his mind. Albert's letter and exhortation gave Hagrid a lot of encouragement.

"Yes, I'm innocent," Hagrid murmured.

The Ministry of Magic is arresting innocent people and throwing them into Azkaban when they know they are innocent.

The purpose is to make him take the blame.

Damn!

Hagrid's strength was so strong that he nearly crushed the letter.

However, Albert believes he will be released from Azkaban before the end of the semester, which gives Hagrid a lot of confidence.

Hagrid was willing to take Albert's word, even though he didn't want to go to Azkaban again, it was inevitable.

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

At midnight, Hagrid's hunting lodge is still lit, waiting for someone from the Ministry of Magic. In fact, Hagrid had been sitting there waiting for hours.

The sound of light footsteps outside made Hagrid's nerves tense.

A few seconds later, the wooden door is knocked on.

Hagrid opened the door abruptly and found no one outside.

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

"What are you two doing here?" Hagrid wondered why Harry and Ron would risk leaving the castle at this time.

"Have you heard about Hermione?" Harry put away his invisibility cloak and went inside.

Hagrid probably understood what the two were thinking, Albert told him about it, and Harry and Ron probably came to ask about the Chamber of Secrets.

"I heard." Hagrid's voice was choked, "You sit first, and I'll make you some tea."

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

Harry noticed Hagrid's absent-mindedness, always looking nervously at the window, and even knocking over the teapot, forgetting to put the tea bags when making them tea, and pouring them each a large glass of boiling water.

"You shouldn't have come." Hagrid looked away from the window and said quickly to Harry and Ron, "I know what you want to ask, but it's probably too late now."

"It's too late"

Harry and Ron didn't understand what Hagrid was talking about, so they heard Hagrid laugh at himself: "The secret room has nothing to do with me, Albert even said that with my IQ, I can't find the secret room at all. position, let alone becoming Slytherin's heir."

Harry and Ron looked at each other with embarrassment, and Hagrid clearly knew what they were coming to him for late at night.

"If you want to know more, go to Albert." Hagrid looked out the window again, "By the way, remember to feed me teeth when I'm not around."

"What?"

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

Harry and Ron exchanged glances uneasily before quickly ducking under the invisibility cloak and backing into the corner.

Hagrid went to open the door when he saw that the two were hiding.

The one knocking on the door was Dumbledore.

Harry felt that Professor Dumbledore's gaze was particularly stern tonight, followed by a squatty wizard.

If you regularly read the Daily Prophet, it is not difficult to recognize this person as the current Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge.

What happened next was in Albert's expectation, because Hagrid has a so-called criminal record, so the Ministry of Magic intends to continue to let him take the blame.

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

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

As for Connelly Fudge's so-called precautions, Hagrid sounds ridiculous.

Will you be released with full apology if another person is caught?

This is the way the Ministry of Magic is, and in Albert's words very political.

"Will the Ministry of Magic publish an apology? I mean if I'm innocent." Hagrid took a deep breath, staring straight at Fudge, and the words came out of his mouth coldly.

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

This is Albert's solution to Hagerty.

"What did you say, I didn't hear clearly?" Fudge stuttered a little. He didn't even look Hagrid in the eyes. No one expected Hagrid to be so determined. The tone was not like a threat, but Saying to everyone: I am innocent, I am not afraid!

"Will the Ministry of Magic publish an apology if I'm later proven innocent?" Hagrid took another deep breath, loud enough for everyone present to hear.

This time, there was no vibrato in his voice, only firmness and confidence. He was willing to believe Albert, that he had a way to prove his innocence, and even more willing to believe his prophecy!

Yes, prophecy!

At this moment, even Dumbledore couldn't help frowning. He didn't expect Hagrid to be so tough all of a sudden. When his eyes met Hagrid, Dumbledore knew the reason.

Yes, Hagrid doesn't need to be afraid of the Ministry of Magic at all, because he is innocent, and someone clearly told him this, which undoubtedly gave Hagrid courage and confidence, and even if he slowed down, he couldn't Change the fact that you are going to Azkaban.

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

Hagrid looked at Fudge even more unpleasantly at the thought of being locked up in Azkaban for a few months. In particular, the little respect for the Minister of Magic in the past was gone now.

Yes!

Fudge like that doesn't deserve his respect.

Now, Hagrid is more willing to trust Albert and believe that he will clear up his grievances.

Harry and Ron, who were hiding in the corner, were stunned to watch all this. They didn't understand where Hagrid's confidence came from, but looking at Fudge, who was hesitant to talk, Harry's mood suddenly became happy. He also felt that Hagrid was innocent, and that the Minister of Magic wanted to lock Hagrid because Hagrid had a 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, this time Lucius Malfoy.

A guy Hagrid hates so much.

Intuition tells Hagrid that Lucius Malfoy's presence here is definitely not a good thing.

It turns out that Hagrid's intuition was right, and Lucius Malfoy's presence at his door was not a good thing.

The guy took a piece of parchment straight out of his pocket and announced in front of everyone that Dumbledore had been ousted from the school's board because: "Dumbledore failed to stop these attacks."

The announcement certainly spooked Fudge. Even Fudge's poor brain knows that if even Dumbledore can't stop the attack, who can?

However, Fudge was powerless to stop this from happening, just as Dumbledore was powerless to stop Hagrid from being thrown into Azkaban by the Ministry of Magic.

"You're the one doing this, aren't you!" Hagrid stared at Malfoy ill-naturedly. Albert once said that if anyone wanted to drive Dumbledore away at this time, it would probably have something to do with him.

"A piece of advice for you." Lucius Malfoy's mouth curled into a smug smile. "Azkaban's guards don't like someone yelling at them like that."

"How many people have you threatened and blackmailed to force them to agree to remove Dumbledore?" Hagrid gritted his teeth. "It's all your fault, right? You wake up the monsters in the back room. , you deliberately let it attack Muggle wizards, and now you've taken Dumbledore away, you just don't leave a way for Muggle wizards to live..."

"You're a biting mad dog right now~IndoMTL.com~Malfoy doesn't care about Hagrid's threats.

"You calm down, Hagrid." Dumbledore sternly stopped Hagrid's accusation. He turned his head to look at Malfoy and said, "If the board wants me to go, of course I'll give my seat."

"But..." Fudge couldn't imagine the extent to which Dumbledore had left the school, and how much he would be blamed.

"Now, are you happy." Hagrid stared at Fudge and said, "I think you know that as soon as Dumbledore leaves school, there will be murders soon, and you will find that even throwing me Azkaban prison is also pointless."

"I'm sure your successor will be able to completely stop... the murder." Malfoy strode to the door of the hut, opened it himself, and bowed to send Dumbledore out.

Lucius Malfoy's action made Harry want to rush up to give him a kick in the **** and make the other guy eat shit.

After Hagrid followed Fudge away, the hunting lodge door was slammed shut.

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

"Albert!" said Harry suddenly.

"Don't forget, he's a Muggle wizard on Slytherin's attack list," Ron reminded.

"No, I mean it's time for us to talk to Albert, I think he knows a lot of things we don't, and maybe he's the only one who knows what's going on at school right now."

"Then we'd better hurry before he's attacked," muttered Ron, leaving Hagrid's hunting lodge with Harry, leaving his teeth scratching.
