Chapter Fifty-Six: Lucius Goes Crazy

Hallie was happily eating melons in the corner.

With the blessing of the Assassin sequence, she has a strong ability to conceal her breath, and Fudge and Lucius have not been able to detect her at all.

Professor McGonagall was able to discover Harley before, but Harley had actually done it on purpose to report her existence to her dean.

In this unnoticed situation, Harley was suddenly stunned as she ate the melon.

If she heard her correctly, Lucius and Fudge meant that they thought Hagrid was the heir to Slytherin.

And Hagrid once opened the Chamber of Secrets and instructed the monster inside to kill a man?

OMG!

The expression on Hallie's face was wonderful.

If nothing else, Hagrid was a Gryffindor.

And most of the people in the Ministry of Magic are pure-bloods, this is an indisputable fact, and with a little brainstorming, you can deduce this fact from the news in the newspaper.

Most of those people had also graduated from Slytherin House.

So they're saying that the pure-bloods who admit that Hagrid, a Gryffindor who is likely a half-blood giant, is actually the heir to Slytherin?

What a joke of the century! You might as well just kill them! Besides, it's impossible!

Take 10,000 steps back and assume that Hagrid really has Slytherin blood.

What would that be? There is a high probability that there is a generation of Slytherin heirs who are very heavy-mouthed and married a giantess.

In this case, he will definitely be expelled from his ancestral home! After all, what pure-blood wizards value most is bloodline!

As for the female heiress marrying a male giant, it was not in Hallie's consideration, after all, the possibility was too small, unless there was special magic.

Besides, with Hagrid's leaky mouth, if he was really the heir of Slytherin, how could he hide this secret for so long?

Harley dared to pack the ticket, and Hagrid would make it known to the whole school the first month he knew about it.

Hallie didn't believe the message anyway.

So Harley quickly figured out that in fact, this is so aggressive, and the two people who came to trouble Hagrid just wanted an excuse.

The Ministry of Magic needs someone to take the blame for dealing with the masses in the wizarding world and relieving its own political pressure.

Lucius, on the other hand, seemed to be at odds with Dumbledore, and according to Draco's inadvertent words, Lucius was still the director of Hogwarts.

Then the result is obvious, Hagrid is only Lucius's obvious target, but the actual target is actually Professor Dumbledore.

Hagrid, who has a criminal record, can be used as a scapegoat by the Ministry of Magic, while Lucius can use Hagrid as an excuse to attack Professor Dumbledore.

Perfect.

As for Hagrid's opinion, what does it matter to the two of them?

A mere half-blood giant, no one cares what he thinks and feels in the wizarding world, where half-bloods and non-human humanoids are mostly unpopular.

Professor Dumbledore had apparently thought of this as well, so there was anger burning in his eyes.

But he didn't have a seizure because Lucius was telling the truth.

The Ministry of Magic has a wealth of evidence, and while it doesn't directly prove that Hagrid committed this series of crimes, the only suspect who can be pieced together is Hagrid.

Professor Dumbledore wanted to exonerate Hagrid, not just by believing him.

With Hagrid himself unwilling to hand over what he called a "cute pet", Professor Dumbledore had no choice but to acquiesce to all this.

But it didn't end there, as Lucius triumphantly pulled a roll of parchment from his robe.

"I'm sorry, Headmaster Dumbledore!" Lucius said slowly,

"After the full study of the school board, you should be gone. All I have in my hand is the dismissal order......"

Lucius said a lot of things slowly, and Harley only understood one sentence:

Dumbledore, it's time for you to get out of Hogwarts, and that's a very legitimate request!

And Fudge kept wiping the cold sweat from his head, and although he stammered a little, he also looked supportive of Lucius.

Clearly, political pressure forced him to support Lucius.

In exchange, Lucius will probably help him with some of the pressure from the purebloods.

Hallie silently took a sip of milk, looking like she was watching a good show.

Why are Lucius and Fudge so bold?

Aren't they afraid that the old man in front of them will cut Lucius into thin pieces in an instant and feed them to Fudge?

Hallie believed that Professor Dumbledore must have the strength.

But Professor Dumbledore didn't. He just took the parchment and read it carefully.

"This is indeed the approval of the school board." Professor Dumbledore sighed,

"Lucius, although I don't know what price you paid, it is clear that all the school directors have signed it.

If you wish to do so, then I will naturally leave the school. ”

Professor Dumbledore's blue eyes stared at Lucius' sarcastic gray eyes.

"But," Professor Dumbledore said,

"It was only when the castle at Hogwarts stopped recognizing me and everyone at Hogwarts betrayed me that I really left the school.

And Fudge, while you need to arrest Hagrid, I want you to keep him in a cell at the Ministry of Magic for the time being, instead of being sent to Azkaban.

This is my only request. ”

"Of course...... Yes, he'll stay in the Ministry of Magic until the verdict is in. ”

Fudge assured, but his voice wasn't so confident.

"You don't have to worry about that, Headmaster Dumbledore. Oh, I'm so sorry, I've forgotten the fact that you're no longer the principal. ”

Lucius rolled up the parchment in his hand and smiled maliciously,

"The Ministry of Magic will send professional Aurors to be stationed at Hogwarts, and no students will be harmed again.

Of course, you'll miss your very personal way of handling things, Dumbledore. ”

Dumbledore stood up and waved his wand lightly, and a golden-red bird flew down from the shelf.

"Fawkes, my dear old fellow, we're getting out of here for a while." Dumbledore whispered,

"We won't be away for long, though. Trust me, we'll be back soon. ”

"Not necessarily, it depends on the appointment of our school board......"

Before Lucius could finish speaking, he met Dumbledore's eyes again.

And this time, for some reason, Lucius suddenly shut his mouth obediently.

Under Dumbledore's gaze, which could see through people's hearts, Lucius suddenly remembered that the old man in front of him had single-handedly suppressed one generation of Dark Lords and shocked another.

His former master was so arrogant, but he never looked down on Dumbledore.

So Lucius closed his mouth from the heart and walked decisively to the door, leaving only one sentence:

"Dumbledore, I'll go first, I hope you can quickly pack up the Headmaster's Office and let the new Headmaster move in."

Fudge saw that Lucius had already walked out of the door, and then sighed, "Albus, you know, this is not my intention.

But you see, I've been under a lot of pressure for a while, and you have to understand me......

Harry Potter? ”

Suddenly, he saw Hallie standing up in the corner.

"Oh, my dear child, why are you here?" Fudge still attaches great importance to Harley, after all, Harley's own political identity is here.

"I've come to talk to Headmaster Dumbledore about something, Minister Fudge." Harley bowed slightly.

Fudge folded the handscroll, tucked it back into his pocket, and put on a hat tucked under his armpit:

"Kid, I'm sorry. I have no right by law to prevent the school board from firing Dumbledore.

However, the Ministry of Magic will intervene in this matter, and Hogwarts will soon be calm and there will be no more attacks, so you don't need to worry.

I need to go first, I wish you a good night's sleep, Hallie, Albus. ”

With that, Fudge hurriedly left the principal's office, unwilling to turn his head back.
