Ministry of Magic, Minister's Office on the first floor.

There were two people in the room, one was Dumbledore and the other was the Minister for Magic.

Connelly Fudge, the Minister of Magic, was short, stocky, stocky, with messy gray hair and an anxious look on his face. The clothes he wore were very strange: a pinstriped suit, a bright red tie, a long black cape, purple pointed-toe boots, and a dark green top hat on his head.

After reading a letter, he said to Professor Dumbledore with an unnatural expression, "Albus, it looks like we're going to have to arrest Hagrid. ”

"What's going on again?" Dumbledore asked.

"This is a letter from Professor McGonagall, who says that there has been another murder of a student at the school, and it just so happens that the student is still from the Weasleys. ”

Dumbledore said, "Ron, that kid?" He just thought it should be someone close to Harry.

Fudge was worried: "Yes, she also said that she had written to inform Ron's parents, she was probably rushing to school, you think how uncomfortable Mrs. Weasley must be, in a few days, lost two children at once." ”

Dumbledore emphasized, "Connelly, those students are not dead, they are just petrified. ”

"Okay, petrified, but do you think those media and Ministries of Magic in other countries will think that, they will only be alarmist, saying that Hogwarts is hiding a great danger, and many students have lost their lives. Fudge felt a headache.

"Before, you repeatedly assured me that Hagrid could never be the murderer, so I didn't arrest Hagrid immediately, but now that something has happened, the Ministry of Magic must act. Fudge's tone was firm, and at this time, he was more daring than usual.

Dumbledore was a little angry, he had always known Fudge very well, he was timid, he had no opinions, he only wanted to maintain his so-called stability, he just wanted to sit firmly in his position as minister, and in summary, he wanted to have the rights of the Minister of Magic, but he also did not want to take on the responsibilities of the minister.

He suppressed his anger: "There's no evidence that Hagrid had anything to do with it. ”

Fudge hesitated and said, "But fifty years ago, he had a criminal record, didn't he?"

"As I said, even when the Chamber of Secrets was opened fifty years ago, I can't be sure that Hagrid did it, someone else!"

Fudge was also a little impatient, but he didn't dare to get angry at Dumbledore, he said angrily, "Then you should look at it from my point of view, I have to do something." ”

Yes, he was going to do something about it too. Seeing that this matter is about to become a hot topic of international attention, if he, the dignified British Minister of Magic, does nothing, how will the international community and the public think of him, incompetent?

Public satisfaction is an important indicator, and if British wizards think their ministers are incompetent and ineffective, they can vote for their ministers at any time.

At this time, if the "culprit" is caught, it will give everyone a good explanation, what? There is no evidence? There is no evidence? There is no evidence that Sirius Black killed the James couple back then, and they were not imprisoned in Azkaban.

If the real murderer is caught later, then come forward and apologize, it's good, not many people will stare at this matter.

Fudge and Dumbledore looked at each other, expressing their determination, but they were defeated by Dumbledore's blue eyes.

Dumbledore sighed, "Okay, I agree, but you can't imprison Hagrid in Azkaban, he's just being summoned as a suspect by the Ministry of Magic." ”

Fudge wanted to bargain with Dumbledore, but when he saw Dumbledore's cold eyes, he just didn't say anything.

Fudge also called two Aurors to follow, he said, to prevent the suspects from resisting and fleeing.

Dumbledore was silent, the two Aurors even Dumbledore followed you, and what wizard could escape.

......

After Ron's death in Riddle, the devoured life returns.

When he opened his eyes, although his body was stiff and his head was uncomfortable, his mind was very clear, as if he had woken up from a nightmare, and a few months ago, he had entered a state of confusion and blur, often unable to remember what he had done, unable to distinguish between reality and dreams.

The memories of Riddle's control of him slowly became clear in Ron's mind, it turned out that Lady Loris was petrified by me, the writing on the wall was written by me, Hagrid's chicken was killed by me, and the horrible monster was also awakened by me, and finally I walked to this secret room by myself.

He almost despaired, but he suddenly reacted, where is this? Is he dead? Is this the world after death? But isn't this the Slytherin statue in the chamber.

He rolled his eyes, and finally saw a dark shadow beside him, it was, Harry Potter.

Ron's head was in the paste again, what the hell was going on.

Harry glanced at him and said, "Wake up, go back." ”

Harry grabbed his arm, and space shifted, and they came to a familiar place, which was Madam Pomfrey's territory, the school hospital.

Ron still had a look of horror on his face, because, as he left the dark place, he saw a huge python standing upright, and its large, flat head was looking at him.

That terrifying basilisk isn't dead yet.

He stammered to Harry, dancing with his hands.

But Harry just disappeared, and after taking Ron to the school hospital, he went to Hagrid's hut.

Tonight, the stars are shining.

Hagrid's window was lit, the wooden door was open, and Hagrid's hut was so small that there was no place to put his feet on it, so the two Aurors stood guard at the door.

A few dozen meters away from Hagrid's hut, Hagrid's loud voice was heard, and the sound almost shook the house.

"I didn't, I didn't hurt those kids. ”

"However, some necessary interrogation is essential, and I have backed down a lot by promising not to send you to Azkaban. Fudge took off his hat and turned it in his hand.

"Professor Dumbledore......" Hagrid looked at Dumbledore pleadingly, he was tall like a giant, but now he looked like a wronged child.

Dumbledore sighed and was about to speak.

A childish but powerful voice suddenly came from outside the door: "No need, the person who opened the secret room is dead, and no one will be injured by this." ”

The two Aurors at the door were alarmed, because the person who spoke had come up to them, and they had only discovered his traces.

They held their wands vigilantly, and waited until the person in the shadows came out, and they saw the appearance of the person clearly, and then relaxed, Harry Potter, who could not know it.

Harry played the video, and Fudge, Hagrid, and Dumbledore put their heads together and looked at the screen on their phones in amazement.

The video was not long, and it was finished quickly. Fudge opened his mouth wide and said, "This, what kind of magic is this." ”

Harry said, "Think of it as magic, it's the content that matters, it will show who opened the chamber and prove that it wasn't Hagrid who opened it fifty years ago, so the ban on him using a wand can be abolished." ”

Fudge still couldn't believe that it had been solved inexplicably, and his worst plan was that his ministerial throne would be shaken.

Dumbledore said, "Connelly, leave this matter to me. I'll explain this to the International Federation of Wizards, Riddle Voldemort's identity when he was younger, those people are very clear, and this image can give them a little warning by the way. ”

Fudge coughed when he heard Voldemort's name.

"That's the best," he said. ”

Eventually, Dumbledore and Fudge said they would go back to him to discuss how to explain in the Daily Prophet that the matter had been resolved.

Fudge left contentedly with the two Aurors.

Dumbledore smiled and said, "I'm more curious about how you managed to defeat Riddle. ”

"First this, then that, and then then he died. ”
