"Dong dong dong..." A knock on the door came, and Hagrid stopped crying. "Hurry up and cover yourself up, hide by the fireplace, don't make any sound and stay quiet."
Wrapping up the invisibility cloak, Ron and Harry Potter disappeared into the room.
Hagrid opened the door, and the people outside were Dumbledore and Minister of Magic Fudge.
"Headmaster Dumbledore!" Hagrid put down the crossbow in his hand.
"Good night! Hagrid, can I come in?" Dumbledore gestured to Minister Fudge behind him.
"Of course! Come in, come in." Hagrid respected Dumbledore quite a lot, so how could he object to the principal bringing someone here!
"That's my dad's boss, Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge." Ron recognized who came in.
"Honestly Hagrid, I am very embarrassed about this matter, so I have to come. The attacks on students at Hogwarts are getting more and more serious. Many students have been petrified. The Ministry of Magic must take action."
Fudge didn't know why he came here. Regulus Black came to him a few days ago and told him that there had been many attacks in Hogwarts recently, which were basically caused by private fights between students. However, It has become a very bad trend. At the same time, rumors about the secret room are also circulating in the school, and all the people who fight privately consciously use the same petrification spell, which makes the rumors of the secret room extremely real.
Therefore, if you want to stop students' private fighting, you must start with the matter of the Chamber of Secrets. You need to treat this private fight as a Chamber of Secrets incident. Therefore, please ask the Minister of Magic to make a trip to the Chamber of Secrets 50 years ago. Suspect arraigned.
Yes, it is just a summons, not an arrest. All it takes is for the person to disappear for a few days. Hogwarts will do the rest of the work to ensure that students will not use the secret room as a reason for private fights.
"But I didn't do it. You all know that I didn't do it." When Hagrid heard this, he thought he was going to be arrested again and became a little excited.
"I hope you can understand, Fudge, my absolute trust in Hagrid." Dumbledore also spoke for Hagrid.
"Albus, listen to me, Hagrid's past record is very detrimental to him, and I must take him away." Fudge said that it was none of my business, it was just a routine matter! It would have been great if the Aurors had come, and they would have taken action directly, but I guess it was because this approach was not suitable that they found me, the minister, to take action personally!
"Take me, take me where? You don't know Azkaban!" Hagrid was imprisoned in Azkaban once, an experience he will never forget.
"You can rest assured, Hagrid, I will just keep you in the Ministry of Magic until there is formal confirmation." What Fudge said was something Regulus Black had cared about in advance, but he couldn't just confirm the crime and then imprison him. Inside Azkaban.
Someone knocked on the door again, a silver cane appeared in front of everyone, and then Lucius Malfoy with platinum hair appeared.
"Fudge! You're already here! Very good." He said, regardless of Hagrid's opinion, and walked in directly.
"What are you doing here? Get out of my house." Hagrid had known Lucius a long time ago. At that time, he was a Death Eater and Hagrid was a member of the Order of the Phoenix. The two were incompatible, and as a result, in the final trial At that time, this Death Eater actually cheated to escape punishment.
"Believe me, I don't want to walk into this...is this a house of yours?" Lucius had a look of disgust on his face as he casually walked a few steps in Hagrid's hut and almost bumped into two little lions. , almost making them hide in the fireplace, "I just came to school for something, and they told me that Dumbledore was here."
"Why did you come to school to find me?" Old God Dumbledore reminded Lucius that he was not here to complain about Hagrid's house. You came here for something.
"I and other directors all think it's time for you to go. This is your suspension order, signed by all 12 directors. We all feel that the older you get, the more confused you become, and if the attacks continue, , almost all the students in Hogwarts are dead, think about what a loss this will be to our school."
Lucius remembered his mission. Regulus Black asked him to help him and perform a scene with Dumbledore. Although Lucius felt disgusted by such a request, he still agreed for Draco's sake. Come down.
"You can't remove Dumbledore. Hogwarts really has no hope after he leaves. Mark my words, then there will be no hope for Muggle descendants at all. They will be killed." Hagrid This person who didn't know the inside story was very nervous. If this transfer order was implemented, Hogwarts would change drastically.
"Is that what you think?" As one of the school directors, Lucius is as concerned about the future of the school as Dumbledore and Hagrid.
"Hagrid, calm down! If the directors want me to resign, then of course I should leave, but as long as someone in Hogwarts sends out a distress signal, someone will definitely lend a helping hand." Dumbledore looked directly at Two people under invisibility cloaks.
"It's really touching, please!" Lucius knew that everything he had to do had been done, and the rest was not up to him.
"Let's go too! Hagrid." Fudge's mission was to take Hagrid away, but it was unexpected that Dumbledore would be dismissed.
"Ahem... If someone needs to find something, the only thing they need to do is follow the spider. Yes, the spider will guide them, that's what I want to say. Oh! I also need someone to help me feed Yaya." Hagrid knew that he had to leave, but he still left behind this inexplicable words. He didn't know if Harry Potter and Ron could understand them.
What on earth is this guy talking about! Fudge looked inside the cabin inexplicably. Could it be a wizard's spell? never mind! Leave it alone.
"Hagrid is right, if Dumbledore leaves, there will be attacks every day." Ron only heard this sentence.
"Look, the spider is crawling out, let's go! Come on! Fang." Harry Potter saw the abnormal movement of the spiders collectively. He wanted to find out the answer and immediately followed him out with a lamp.
"Where are we going?" Ron had no idea what Harry Potter was thinking, and he saw spiders, the thing he was most afraid of, which made Ron feel uncomfortable.
"Didn't you hear what Hagrid said? Follow the spider."
"But they all went to the Forbidden Forest." Ron was about to cry. There were spiders he was most afraid of, and there was also the dangerous Forbidden Forest.
"Why spider? Why don't you say you are following the butterfly? Harry, I don't like this. Harry, I really don't like this. Can we not leave?" Ron's voice was loud as he followed the spider along the way. Never stopped.
After passing through a long and dark Forbidden Forest and passing through a hole in the ground, Harry Potter and Ron came to the lair of the spider Aragog.
This is a male Acromantula, adopted by Hagrid in 1942, and now lives deep in the Forbidden Forest. Now in 1992, Aragog has turned gray and is blind due to cataracts.
"Who is here! Hagrid, is it you?" Aragog, who was almost invisible, slowly walked out of his lair.
The huge body is like a hill, and each leg is a full 2 meters long.
"Don't panic Ron, we are Hagrid's friends, and you are also Hagrid's friend, right?" Harry Potter asked boldly. Since he came here, there was no reason to leave without asking for news.
"Yes, Hagrid has never let anyone else come to us." Aragog answered. White had already taken up most of its eyes, and it turned its eight eyes in an effort to see the humans in front of it clearly.
Harry Potter: "Hagrid is in trouble, there have been some attacks in the school and they say it's because Hagrid opened the Chamber of Secrets, so I'm here to find answers."
Aragog: "That's not true. Hagrid never opened the door to the Chamber of Secrets."
Harry Potter: "Then you are not the monster in the Chamber of Secrets. If you are not the monster, then who killed Myrtle 50 years ago?"
Aragog: "Yes, the monster was born in the castle, but I was brought here from a distant place by a traveler in his pocket. We never mention that thing. It is what we spiders are most afraid of." A very ancient animal.”
Harry Potter: "Have you seen the monster?"
Aragog: "I have never seen other corners of the castle. Hagrid only kept me in a box. The dead girl was found in the toilet. When they accused me, Hagrid Brought me here."
Ron looked sad and pointed at the spiders that were gathering around him, "Harry! It's time for us to leave. Look..."
Aragog: "Let's go! I'm afraid not. My children will not harm Hagrid because of my order, but when fresh meat comes to their door, I can't stop them anymore. Goodbye! Hagrid's friend."
"Can we be afraid now?"
