151. The forced palace from Lucius
"Something has happened, Connelly."
"Then I'm sorry, Dumbledore." Fudge was apologizing, but his expression was unnatural: "Then the Ministry of Magic has to take some necessary steps - this has already been communicated to the school board in advance. ”
Dumbledore frowned slightly, he didn't know anything about the school board, it was obvious that someone was doing some small things behind his back.
or coercion, or inducement, or other means.
As for who that person is. Do you need to ask?
"Dumbledore, these are the elite of the Auror Office. I think they can help Hogwarts deal with dangerous things. ”
Fudge said as he began to introduce the adult wizards who had come with him.
Aurors, which can be understood as the law enforcement brigade of the wizarding world.
Theoretically, every Auror is the elite of wizards, the one best at fighting dark wizards and dark magic.
However, in fact, this elite needs to be preceded by quotation marks.
But there's no doubt that the Aurors are good.
"I think Hogwarts can handle this on their own."
There was a flash of anger in Dumbledore's aqua blue eyes.
This time the Ministry of Magic's hand was a little longer.
It's the school board and the minister of magic and the Aurors, and its purpose couldn't be more obvious, it's forcing the palace
Forcing Dumbledore into the palace.
If someone dared to force Dumbledore to the palace a few decades ago, then his fate must have been miserable.
The title of the greatest white wizard is not a joke.
I don't know if it's because I'm older, I have more worries, my heart is softer, and my heart is less about fighting, in short
The current Dumbledore is actually quite easy to 'bully'.
"Oh no, Professor, Odrina is missing."
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but at this time, a little witch pushed open the door in a panic and shouted at the professor's seat.
Then everyone looked at her in unison.
Hearing the little witch's words, the smile on Lucius's face was even worse, and he almost laughed out loud: "Oh, Dumbledore, I don't think Hogwarts has the ability to handle this matter You see, not only have the little wizards been attacked, but people are missing. ”
"Life and death are uncertain!"
Luciust deliberately emphasized the word.
"I doubt you'll be able to run Hogwarts well."
Although there was a salutation in his tone, Lucius's face and demeanor did not have the slightest respect.
"It was just an accident." Professor McGonagall couldn't take it anymore and spoke up.
Except for Snape, who had an incomprehensible smile on his face, the other professors glared at Lucius.
"It's terrible," Lucius lazily interrupted Professor McGonagall, pulling out a long roll of parchment, "the board thinks it's time to let you go." This is a removal order – and all twelve directors have signed it."
"We don't think you're doing what you should be able to do, since you don't have what it takes to stop the terrible things that are happening at Hogwarts. Then we should replace it with a talented candidate. For example, the head of Slytherin I think would be a good fit. ”
"Knowing that my child is also a Hogwarts student, I want the Headmaster of Hogwarts to be a truly caring and responsible wizard."
"Mr. Lucius, wait. It's not the same as saying yes. The first to jump out against Lucius was Fudge, who was almost shouting, and the expression on his face was very panicked: "It's just that the Aurors are here to help with the investigation and Dumbledore to cooperate, not to remove him."
"Depose Dumbledore. No, no. It's definitely not something we want to do or in front of so many kids."
It's not that Fudge has a conscience, it's just that he doesn't want to bear the consequences of the bad effects.
The Minister of Magic's dismissal of the Headmaster of Hogwarts may be unique in history, but to be sure, it is infamy.
Even Phineas Black, the most unpopular of all the headmasters of Hogwarts, has never been deposed by the Ministry of Magic.
Maybe some of the parents of the young wizards don't like Dumbledore's 'madness' from time to time, but there is no doubt that they all believe in and recognize Dumbledore's ability, and it is not just a matter of saying that he is loved by all the teachers and students.
In fact, Fudge still hasn't said a word, you Lucius deposed Dumbledore, so who will solve the problem?
You can't let him, the Minister of Magic, come forward, can you?
If the problem is not solved, then who will bear the responsibility?
This question alone made Fudge very unhappy with Lucius.
If you say it sooner, I won't come with you.
Lucius didn't care what Fudge was thinking now, he hadn't even looked at the titular Minister of Magic, and his purpose had been achieved anyway
Lucius took a step forward with the parchment roll, almost eye level with Dumbledore.
"Lucius, you don't have the authority to remove Dumbledore." Professor McGonagall stepped forward and said angrily, "Dumbledore is the Headmaster chosen by Hogwarts!" ”
"I think. I have Professor McGonagall. ”
Lucius shook the parchment in his hand, which was a total of twelve school directors including him.
This means that the contents of this parchment scroll are officially certified and comply with the laws and regulations of the wizarding world.
Although Lucius was unable to make any changes to the contract at Hogwarts Castle, perhaps Dumbledore would still be able to exercise the authority of Headmaster of Hogwarts and still have the authority of Headmaster of Hogwarts Castle, but he would have been deposed in name.
Unless Dumbledore intends to flip the table and not recognize the joint names of the twelve school trustees.
But obviously, he wouldn't do it, because he was Dumbledore, because he was the greatest White Wizard, because he wasn't going to be in the same league as the 'Dark Wizards'.
Even if Dumbledore wanted to flip the table, the first person not to agree was not Lucius, but the Ministry of Magic, and the power of the school director was given by the Ministry of Magic, and if you don't recognize the school director, you won't recognize the legitimacy of the Ministry of Magic.
That's why Fudge was so dissatisfied.
Whatever the case may be, Lucius will be able to achieve his goal.
Lucius looked arrogant and completely 'settled' Dumbledore.
And if these Aurors can successfully solve this matter, then Dumbledore's prestige will be greatly suppressed.
Thinking of this, a gleam flashed in Lucius's eyes.
That's great news.
And if the situation has not changed, then the culprit of this incident is the youngest daughter of the Weasley family, Ginny Weasley.
That's what he had put the book on her.
He can also frame the old rivals Weasleys.
Concealment of dark magic items. Tsk, this crime is not small at all.
Killing two birds with one stone, brilliant plan.
