At this time, the atmosphere in Dumbledore's office was becoming more and more tense.

Dumbledore sat silently behind his desk, so calm that he couldn't tell what he was thinking, and not far behind him, Professor McGonagall, pale, panicked, and Snape, gloomy and bandaged head.

In front of the desk was a very strange-looking man.

The man was short, stocky, with messy gray hair and an anxious look on his face, and his clothes were a strange hodgepodge: a pinstriped suit, a bright red tie, a long black cloak, and purple pointed-toe boots.

He was Connelly Fudge, the Minister of Magic, and across from him, Hagrid sat in a large chair with a peculiar character, writhing uneasily, wiping his tears with his large handkerchief, and muttering the names of Aven, Harry, and Ron from time to time.

In the room, also crying in a low voice was Mrs. Weasley, who was sitting in front of the fire, and Mr. Weasley was whispering to comfort him. The two of them rushed over as soon as they knew that Ron had been taken away, but they didn't expect the situation to be so bad.

The only one who was happy was Lucius Malfoy, who sat in the corner, wrapped himself tightly in a black travel cloak, and looked at the others with satisfaction, with a cold, contented smile on his eyelids.

Beside him, lying on his stomach was a strange creature covered in bandages, trembling and twitching silently, it was Dobby, a house-elf, who looked saddened by Harry's disappearance, with a hopeless fear on his face.

"I'm sorry, Albus!" Connelly Fudge said in a crisp and quick tone, "the current situation is very bad, a basilisk broke into the castle and openly attacked, and took three students with him, if you count the three previous attacks, this is too much, and the Ministry of Magic must take action!"

"Connelly, I hope you can understand that taking Hagrid away is not going to help at all, it wasn't the Chamber of Secrets he opened, he's sitting among us right now. Dumbledore whispered.

"But look, Albus!" said Fudge, unnaturally, "Hagrid's criminal record is not in his favor, the Ministry of Magic has had to take some action, and we've been in contact with the school board." ”

"Allow me to interject, Minister!" Lucius Malfoy coughed lightly, "Not only did the Board agree to the Ministry of Magic's request for arrest, in fact, Dumbledore, the Board also felt it was time to let you go." This is the removal order, and you will see that twelve directors have signed it. It is widely believed that at this rate, there will be no Hogwarts students left by the end of this term, which is a terrible thing. ”

"It's crazy that you're trying to get rid of Dumbledore!" Mr. Weasley shouted as he stood up, "Don't think I don't know, you must be behind the scheme, Malfoy!"

"Very bad slander, Weasley! It's hard to imagine a Ministry of Magic official being so undisciplined, but it doesn't seem surprising given the ridiculous things you've done before. Lucius turned his head and chuckled, "Minister, if I were you, I'd definitely kick this guy out of the Ministry of Magic." ”

"Dear Lucius!" Connelly Fudge played with his top hat absentmindedly, "I don't think it's time to pursue these things, and he was just a little excited that Arthur's son was brought into the chamber. And I don't think it's a good idea to depose Dumbledore. ”

"It's a Hogwarts affair, and all twelve of our directors have voted!" Lucius winked triumphantly.

"Malfoy, how many people did you threaten and blackmail to force them to agree!" Hagrid slammed to his feet, his furry, black head brushing against the ceiling, "You can't remove Dumbledore, if you do, Hogwarts won't have a chance to live!"

"Oh my God, my God, your bad temper is going to get you in trouble someday, Hagrid!" Malfoy sneered, "I want to give you a word of advice, don't yell at the guards of Azkaban, they won't like it." Is that so, Minister?"

"yes, that's right, I mean, what we need to do now is get to the bottom as soon as possible. Fudge nodded, "Hagrid, I want you to come with us." ”

"If you so-called finding out the truth, you are arresting innocents"

"See from my point of view, Minerva!" Fudge said nervously, "I'm under a lot of pressure, and I have to do something." If it turns out that it wasn't Hagrid, he'll come back, not a word. ”

"Don't worry, I think we'll know all the truths soon!" Dumbledore suddenly sensed something, and he turned to Professor McGonagall and said, "Minerva, could you please go out for me to meet Mr. Mason, Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, and Miss Granger!"

"What?!" everyone looked at Dumbdoletore in amazement, the children had actually returned from the secret room!

Twenty minutes ago, several men left the chamber with Lockhart.

Taking advantage of everyone's lack of attention, Evan deliberately pulled out a basilisk's fangs, this thing is a good thing, the venom on it makes it attack amazingly.

With it, you don't have to worry about not being able to destroy Horcruxes in the future.

Then, they stepped over the motionless coiled corpse of the basilisk and through the dark, empty, echoing room back into the tunnel. With Fox's help, they flew over long, black-hole pipes back to the girls' bathroom on the third floor.

Evan had planned to go to the hospital first, but Fawkes led them outside Dumbledore's office.

Professor McGonagall had gotten the news and was waiting there with a panicked look on her face, when she saw that Aven, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were covered in mud and slime, especially the blood stains on Evan and Harry's robes, she grabbed her hand on her chest and gasped for air.

Seconds later, she took Lockhart to the school hospital, while Avan, Harry, Ron, and Hermione took the spiral staircase into the principal's office.

The door had just opened, and there was silence.

"Ron!" Mrs. Weasley screamed and jumped up, and behind him was Mr. Weasley, both of whom reached out their arms at the same time and walked over to put their arms around Ron.

Behind the two of them was Hagrid, who hugged Aven, Harry, and Hermione in his arms and hugged them tightly.

Aven's gaze passed over him and quickly glanced into the room.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and it looked like the headmaster's office was very lively before they entered.
