Dragon Roar Master at Hogwarts

Chapter 177: Imprisoned Hagrid and dismissed Dumbledore

The consequences of the Acromantula swarm once again invading the castle were worse than Dudley expected. Although no one was injured, the corpses of Acromantulas scattered throughout the sixth floor were a big problem in themselves.

"Mosag - the wife of my friend Aragog... why did it become like this..." Seeing Hagrid holding the super large spider and crying bitterly, if it weren't for the surrounding There were too many people, and Dudley really wanted to punch him to wake him up and make him see the current situation clearly.

This is an empty classroom on the sixth floor of Hogwarts Castle, but now there are a large number of Acromantula corpses piled inside, including Aragog, who is lying on top of Hagrid.

Surrounding Hagrid and Mossag, in addition to Dumbledore and Dudley, Ginny, Luna, and Lockhart who were witnesses of the incident, there was also a strange middle-aged man wearing a neat dress.

"Look, what I said before is correct, that big spider is indeed related to Hagrid." Lockhart said with a proud look, "It seems that the real culprit of the incident is already very clear-"

"Okay, Professor Lockhart, you don't need to say any more." Dumbledore glared at Lockhart sternly with his blue eyes, and then turned to the middle-aged man next to him: "Cornelly, I hope you understand that I am completely Trust Hagrid..."

Dudley immediately knew the identity of this middle-aged man. It seemed that he was the current Minister of Magic, Cornelius Oswald Fudge.

Fudge looked at Hagrid who was still crying, with a troubled expression on his face, and whispered: "Albus, you are making this very difficult for me... Look at Hagrid's appearance now, I I find it difficult for anyone, including me, to believe that he is innocent."

"Not guilty? What happened?" Hagrid raised his head and looked at Fudge in panic, with tears still hanging on his beard: "Do you think Aragog entered the castle under my instructions?"

Although Dudley knew that Hagrid was innocent, he was also troubled by Hagrid's behavior in front of Fudge. Just seeing how intimate he was with Aragog's corpse just now, it was difficult to rule him out as a suspect.

"After all, you have a criminal record, Hagrid. I really have no other choice." Fudge sighed and said slowly: "But I just want to be on the safe side. If it turns out that it has nothing to do with you, will you still Coming back..."

"Come back? Where are you going to take me?" Hagrid's face instantly turned pale, and his voice said hoarsely: "It can't be Azkaban..."

"Don't worry, it's just a precautionary measure." Fudge comforted him in a low voice: "Otherwise, it would be difficult for us to make an explanation."

"Who do you mean to give an explanation to?" Dumbledore said with a stern face: "No one was injured in this incident, and the school does not intend to pursue any investigation -"

"But the problem is that you can no longer make this decision on behalf of the school, Principal Dumbledore." The door to the classroom was suddenly opened forcefully, and a tall and thin figure strode in: "Or to be more precise, Dumbledore Former Principal Lido.”

Dumbledore's eyes narrowed slightly, and there seemed to be anger in his eyes: "Lucius, if you are coming, you should inform me in advance, so that I can greet the guests without being disrespectful."

The person who broke into the classroom was Lucius Malfoy. His face looked even paler and more haggard than before. He was tightly wrapped in a long black cloak and had a stiff smile on his face.

"No way, Professor Dumbledore, this is an emergency." Lucius's voice was cold and emotionless, "After all, I brought the emergency removal order from the board of directors - it has been signed unanimously by all twelve of our directors. Agreed name.”

"What!" Hagud was excited by everyone present, and approached Lucius angrily: "What does this matter have to do with Professor Dumbledore! Just forget about taking me away, why even Professor Dumbledore - —”

"Of course it's relevant, Rubeus Hagrid." Lucius looked at Hagrid indifferently, "As a suspect who once opened the Chamber of Secrets, you can stay in Hogwarts because of Dumbledore's guarantee. However, it is obvious that Professor Dumbledore has made unwise acts of cover-up, and has not corrected them in time due to the last incident..."

"Furthermore, there is another important reason." Lucius's eyes wandered around everyone, and finally landed on Ginny, "We meet again, Miss Ginny Weasley."

Ginny pursed her lips tightly and looked at Lucius with hostile eyes.

"The targets of the attack this time include members of the Weasley family." Lucius said slowly: "No member of the board of directors is willing to give Mr. Arthur Weasley a chance to use the topic... It's really amazing. Ah, Miss Weasley, although your father has a low salary, he is a big shot in an important position."

"You're talking nonsense, my dad wouldn't-" Ginny shouted excitedly.

"It's not up to you, Miss Weasley. No matter what the truth is, this is what the members of the board of directors think." Lucius looked away and ignored Ginny. "Anyway, Professor Dumbledore, I'm afraid your principal The duties will be suspended for a period of time - or maybe permanently."

"This must be a lie. God knows how many dirty tricks you used on them..." Hagrid roared and almost jumped on Lucius, but Dumbledore raised his hand to stop him. .

"I understand. Since this is the unanimous opinion of the board of directors, I accept this decision." Dumbledore said calmly, "However, according to the regulations, the position of principal will be performed by Deputy Principal Minerva McGonagall... ..."

"It's temporary, former principal Dumbledore." Lucius corrected him coldly: "Moreover, our board of directors will also send someone to supervise her work - to prevent her from abusing her power and making the same mistakes as the previous principal."

Dudley observed Lucius carefully and said nothing from beginning to end.Although the process was different, the plot of Hagrid being taken away and Dumbledore being dismissed still happened again. He knew that there was nothing he could do on this occasion, and keeping a low profile was the right choice.

But what puzzled him was that Lucius looked different from what he imagined.

Logically speaking, after finally finding the opportunity to overthrow Dumbledore, no matter how well Lucius concealed it, he should still show an expression of joy or success.

But the face of Lucius in front of him was dull and indifferent, with almost no emotion from beginning to end.

As if aware of Dudley's gaze, Lucius turned around and met his eyes.

Dudley felt that this man seemed to be a different person from the last time he was in Diagon Alley. There was no arrogance and shame in his gray eyes, and he looked muddy and numb.

"Okay, my mission has been completed." Lucius turned around and said coldly: "I hope the next principal can investigate the incident clearly - to ensure the safety of students and prevent danger from appearing in Hogwarts again. In the castle.”
