Minister of Magic Fudge personally led a surprise inspection, but still failed to find any trace of the dragon.
A mere game keeper treated everyone like monkeys and made a fool of them.
Neither Quirrell nor Malfoy found it hard to believe such a result. They were convinced that Hagrid had found some way to secretly transport the dragon to a safe place and hide it.
However, the dragon-raising incident was inexplicably confusing from beginning to end.
Others didn't even understand what was going on, and how could this matter end like this
You know, when the Ministry of Magic conducts surprise inspections, they basically catch everyone accurately, and it turned out that Hagrid was innocently accused.
He never raised a dragon from beginning to end.
Who is deliberately slandering Hagrid
It soon became known that the man was Draco Malfoy, and the unfortunate fellow was soon branded the man who deliberately defamed the school's gamekeeper.
As for, who sent the anonymous letter to the Minister of Magic
Snape, of course.
From beginning to end, Malfoy only told Snape about this matter.
If he doesn't take the blame, who will
To this end, Dumbledore and Snape discussed the matter again in the headmaster's office.
"He probably didn't lie, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to miss it." Snape was also very depressed. He never expected that the blame would be put on him for no reason.
"That's strange," Dumbledore muttered. "The Minister of Magic came for a surprise inspection without any warning. If Hagrid really had a dragon, he would have been unable to hide it."
"I don't think this is just a prank." Snape shook his head. "I believe Draco Malfoy wouldn't dare to do that. Lucius told me that he also received similar letters. The Minister of Magic's appearance in Hogwarts is largely related to Lucius."
"It seems that someone arranged this on purpose."
"You think someone cast a spell on Draco, causing him to..." Snape immediately locked onto the target.
I tried every means to stop Quirrell, so is he taking this as revenge on me
"It seems that Quirrell can no longer bear it." Dumbledore said softly, "That's right, he has been holding back for a long time."
"What do you think Quirrell's purpose was, that dog?"
Snape guessed wrong. It should be said that he only guessed the second level, and the real answer was on the fourth level.
This so-called carefully planned event was actually just a simple attempt by Albert.
If Chilo did as he planned, Albert would make money.
If not, Albert will not lose out.
However, Albert never thought that the plan would be more successful than originally expected. He gave Quirrell a plan that seemed very reliable.
Unexpectedly, Quirrell actually carried it out. What stunned Albert was that Quirrell himself had squeezed out his last surplus value, as well as the value of the dragon egg incident.
As the big boss and beneficiary behind all this, Albert's feelings are quite complicated.
Chilo is such a good man!
Not only will you get Galleons and quests, you will also get experience points.
It's a pity that he died.
Where can I find such a good person in the future
After a series of clever moves by Quirrell, Albert not only successfully obtained the new mission of "rescuing Norbert", but also received a mission of "please take the blame".
This task requires three people to take the blame for others for no apparent reason.
However, the most interesting thing about this task is that when Albert found it on the task list, the task had already been completed.
The rewards are also good, 3000 experience points, 1 skill point, and the title of "The Man Behind the Scenes".
…
In fact, the cause of all this started a few days ago.
After Quirrell received the suggestion to move the magic mirror from the letter, he left a message at the bottom of the letter and buried two hundred Galleons at a designated location in exchange for a way to get Dumbledore away.
So Albert sent another letter to Quirrell, giving him this advice.
On the day he received the letter, Quirrell happened to pass by the corner and heard the conversation between Harry, Ron and Hermione.
After comparing it with the plan of selling all information, even Quirrell had to admit that the method in the letter had a high success rate.
It is illegal to keep a dragon, plus a three-headed dog, which is enough for Hagrid to go to the Ministry of Magic for trial.
When Dumbledore went to serve as a juror, he just found an opportunity to take action.
As for why it suddenly failed, it seems to have nothing to do with any news being sold.
On the day when the Daily Prophet and the Ministry of Magic staff showed up at Hogwarts, Quirrell and Malfoy were in a very good mood.
No matter how they looked at it, they didn't think Hagrid would be able to hide the little dragon during a surprise inspection without any warning.
It can't be hidden at all!
However, they seemed unaware that there was something in the wizarding world called a time-turner.
When Albert discovered that the Ministry of Magic showed up at Hogwarts early in the morning, he immediately used the time-turner to go back a few hours to help Hagrid hide the dragon Norbert.
The Ministry of Magic's surprise inspection was naturally in vain, even though Minister of Magic Fudge led the team himself.
This matter took a 180-degree turn.
Even Hagrid's conversation methods and techniques for dealing with Ministry of Magic staff were taught by Albert on the spot.
You say I am raising dragons illegally
I don't know, I don't have any, you need evidence.
Without evidence, it's slander.
Of course, even if the Ministry of Magic turned Hagrid's hut upside down, they would not be able to produce any evidence.
So, a few days after Hagrid righteously said that keeping a dragon was illegal, when Harry, Ron and Hermione went to find Hagrid again, they found that the dragon was still there and had become even bigger.
"Hagrid, why is it still here?" Harry looked at Norbert who was eating the dead mouse in surprise, and looked at Hagrid in disbelief.
Didn’t you say that raising dragons is illegal
Under the questioning of Harry and the other two, Hagrid had to repeat the story of how Albert helped him pass the surprise inspection last time.
"He is really amazing." The three of them felt that Albert was an incredible guy.
"Oh, Hagrid, I just saw Malfoy. He seemed very unwilling to accept this." Harry reminded, "You have to be careful and don't let anyone else know."
"I've left Fang outside the house. I'll know if anyone comes near here," Hagrid said absentmindedly.
He even sealed all the curtains in the house, but there was nothing better to do.
"What did Albert say?" Hermione asked carefully.
"He told me to confess to the headmaster and send the dragon away." Hagrid bit his lip and said unwillingly, "I know I can't keep it forever, but I can't just abandon it like this."
"Albert is right, Headmaster Dumbledore should find someone to adopt this dragon." Hermione comforted.
"Maybe I have a good idea!" Ron said suddenly.
"What's a good idea?"
Harry, Hermione, and Hagrid all turned to look at Ron.
"Remember I told you that my second brother Charlie is studying dragons in Romania. We can write to Charlie and he might be happy to help take care of it. I think this is the best solution at the moment."
"Great, Ron!" Harry said excitedly. They could finally get rid of the dragon.
"What do you think, Hagrid?" Hermione looked at Hagrid nervously, afraid that he would disagree.
Finally, Hagrid agreed, because it was the best solution at the moment, and he had an agreement with Albert that if he couldn't solve it, Albert would tell the headmaster about it. Hagrid really didn't want to cause trouble for Dumbledore.
Ron sent an owl to ask Charlie if he would like to adopt a dragon.
In the next few days, Malfoy did not give up. He took a camera and ran to the hunting lodge whenever he had time, ready to take a picture of the little dragon to prove that he was not lying.
As for Quirrell, after Xiaolong's plan failed, he also received new compensation. Albert sent him a brand new plan.
This time, Quirrell simply tore up the plan. He was not prepared to follow Albert's plan, but to use his own backup plan.
Quirrell was going to use the Imperius Curse to control Fudge, and asked Fudge to talk to Dumbledore and ask him for help.
Anyway, everyone knows that Fudge often does this.
Albert had no idea about this, and wouldn't care even if he knew. Hagrid told him that Ron suggested that Charlie help adopt Norbert.
It seems as if there is a hand in the dark that is directing history back to its original track.
