Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

"This...this..." He racked his brains to find a breakthrough, but he didn't even dare to look at Dumbledore. He came today only because he couldn't bear the pressure of some people and wanted to find a breakthrough first. A survivor to calm down those dissatisfaction first, instead of finding the real murderer.

But Dumbledore told him bluntly about his mistake. No matter how cheeky, Fudge couldn't take Hagrid away like this. He had to hesitate Dumbledore's opinion.

Dumbledore was about to succeed, Harry thought.The words that Fudge gave up have already reached his lips. If it weren’t for the malicious people who suddenly appeared, they can now continue to sit in Hagrid’s room, discuss the incident with him who relaxes, and drink some tea (Rock Pi Except pie), and find a way to help Hermione.

Chapter 19 Dismissal

"It's nice to see you here, Minister."

A man walked in from the door of the cabin. He was tall and thin, dressed in neatly arranged robes. He looked at everything around him with his arrogant eyes. Of course he also noticed the boys in the corner, with a slight smile on his mouth.

"I heard that you rushed to the school first. This is great. The request of the ancient families can be taken seriously. It is exciting, Minister, especially in this unstable period..."

Lucius Malfoy deliberately stretched his voice to say this. Fudge seemed to be waiting for a savior. He obviously relaxed, like a broken balloon that was out of breath.Fudge forced a smile from his face, "Lucius, why are you here?"

The opposite of his attitude was Hagrid. The man did not hide his anger at all: "Who allowed you to enter my house? You are not welcome here, get out!"

"I always think that even if some wizards are educated, they are very poorly educated. Maybe it's because they should use the nutrients they use to grow their brains to grow taller?" Lucius sneered and stroked Hagrid's greasy wood contemptuously. Table top, "Huh, do you call this dirty and smelly place home? My basement is more luxurious than here."

Harry had to hold Ron on one side desperately to stop him from rushing to beat Lucius' delicate nose.Anger was burning in his chest, Hagrid was his friend, and he was insulted.

But with anger accompanied by anxiety, Harry realized that it was indeed impossible for Lucius to visit Hogwarts in person—if not for another conspiracy.

"But we can't be so demanding of everyone, especially you are a criminal..." Lucius's seductive words were interrupted by Dumbledore: "You are wrong, Malfoy, we just met Connelly. Reach an agreement-Hagrid is not the prisoner, the prisoner is someone else." Harry felt that Dumbledore was caring when he heard his firm words.

Lucius avoided Dumbledore's sharp gaze. He looked at Fudge, who nodded to him profusely, then shook his head, saying that he really couldn't do much.A faint smile appeared on the corner of Lucius's mouth.

"Minister, of course you have the right to arrest Rubeus Hagrid. He is undoubtedly a criminal."

Hagrid's face flushed with anger: "How could I be a prisoner! You didn't hear Dumbledore say--"

"I ask you, Minister," Lucius didn't look at him, as if he was just a cloud of air. "Why do they think Hagrid is not a prisoner?" Fudge said, "Because they think it is the Basilisk, Hai Ge is not a snake-like voice, he can't manipulate it."

"It's here, Minister," Lucius said. "You, or anyone present, has anyone seen that monster with his own eyes?"

"But the children are petrified! Basilisk can do this!" Hagrid retorted.

"Could it be—of so many magical creatures we know, only the basilisk can do this?" Lucius's eyes were sharp. "Tell me have you ever seen the basilisk hurting children with your own eyes?"

"No, no—but the chickens in the chicken shed were all killed! The sound of the cock is the natural enemy of the basilisk..." Hagrid realized that Lucius was leading him to a trap, and his voice became Very small.

"A blind trick, I assure you, Minister." Lucius said, "Hagrid must have done it himself. In order to attract the'basilisk' that didn't exist in the past, this cruel man actually killed those Innocent chicken!" He said sincerely, as if he really cares about the dead chickens.

"But Lucius..." Fudge moved. He obviously realized that even if this reason is not very tenable, it is sufficient for the time being to bring Hagrid back to investigate.

"It's okay, Minister. We will all support you. You have done a lot to protect our interests, and everyone else will see it." Lucius was persuasive.Fudge was thinking, Dumbledore didn't speak either, and the atmosphere fell silent for a while, but it was immediately broken.

"You can't do this! Hagrid is innocent, how can you want him to be a scapegoat!" Ron stood up bravely and yelled at these people. He was disappointed. His father had a good opinion of Fudge, because he also belonged to Moderate, but Ron can only feel the cowardly temperament of this man.

Harry must also be supporting his brother, and Fudge was startled when he noticed that there were two other people in the room.

"Student? Why are there students here! Wait, you are..." He noticed the lightning scar on Harry's forehead. "Harry Potter?"

Fudge seemed to shrink for a moment, but he finally put on his hat, which gave him confidence: "Students go back to the castle quickly, two little gentlemen, this is a matter for adults."

"Hagrid is our friend! And our friend, she was attacked! Of course it has something to do with us!" Ron was not afraid, even if he noticed Lucius's contemptuous gaze.

"The hero game...very good, Weasley." Lucius smiled pretentiously. "Minister, I also brought a piece of news, just to let them listen to, a decision from the school board..." He Look at Dumbledore.

"I regret to inform you, Albus Dumbledore—" He took out a long piece of parchment with ink shining on it. "According to the signatures of me and the other twelve school directors, you will be cancelled by Hogg The position of Principal Woz. In other words, you have now been fired. We will welcome a new and more respectable person to hold this position."

His words caused a violent shock in this small cabin, and everyone's expressions were dull-Dumbledore will no longer be the principal of Hogwarts!what does this mean?

Hagrid got furious. He rushed up and grabbed Lucius by the neckline, almost lifting him up, shaking him constantly: "What the hell are you thinking, you dirty bad bastard?! How dare you, How dare you cancel Dumbledore’s post! Don’t you know that Hogwarts is respected and the reason why he stays away from dark magic is all Dumbledore’s credit? He protected people! We lose him and someone will die in the blink of an eye Drop!"

Fudge took a deep breath, and his eyes were empty, obviously shocked by the news: "Lucius...but...Dumbledore...resigned?!"

Lucius swept across Hagrid's big, rude hand in disgust, warning him in a cold voice, "I can think of you as preparing to attack me, right?"

"Let go of him, Hagrid." Dumbledore said, and Hagrid threw Lucius away angrily. "Professor, this man is a nasty scumbag! Let me give him a few fists..."

"Tether your dog, Dumbledore." Lucius said, "If you don't want his crime to become more serious. Assault a nobleman, huh, you have the courage..."

Dumbledore's eyes flickered, he confirmed the name on the parchment contract, and slowly said, "Malfoy, you do—do you know what you are doing?"

Lucius satirized him: "I thought you could recognize every word written on it, or did you mean that the power of your glasses is not enough for you to see them?"

Harry felt an icy feeling overwhelmed him: Dumbledore, the greatest and wise wizard of our time, the headmaster of Hogwarts, was actually resigned in front of him!Ron opened his mouth wide and couldn't say a word. He was also shocked by the sight. Maybe they had many ideas about the appearance of Lucius, but none of them was such a development.

"I respect what you protect, Lucius, although this is not a decent man's behavior," Dumbledore called Lucius for the first time. "You appeared at a very good timing, really good, Reminiscent of something not so good."

His majestic voice spread throughout the hut: "Since the school managers think I am not suitable to be the principal, they certainly have the right to do so. I will explain to them personally. This school will not be eroded by evil, even if it is not. Self-knowingly do evil, self-wise people will eventually taste the evil results." His penetrating gaze is almost to see Lucius's soul.

Lucius pressed his lips tightly and said nothing.Fudge hurriedly explained his rights to Hagrid. Hagrid couldn't listen at all. He looked at Dumbledore pleadingly, "Professor, you can't leave, what should the children do!"

"Relax, Hagrid. The children will grow up someday, and they will take on the heavy responsibilities for the future. We just need a little wait." Dumbledore looked at Harry and Ron and smiled gently at them. .

"I believe that what is waiting ahead will never be a worse future."

Chapter 20 Invitation (520 from the anger of single dogs)

The news of Dumbledore’s resignation was naturally not hidden from the people in Hogwarts. When Professor McGonagall walked into the auditorium with a calm face the next morning and announced the news in front of all the students, the entire castle was almost nothing. There was panic and panic left.Fortunately, some arrangements have been made before Dumbledore leaves. Professor McGonagall is responsible for stabilizing the order. Anyone who dares to violate the rules will get an angry reprimand as long as the lady finds out. Several people in Gryffindor After the boys made one or two mistakes, no one dared to provoke Professor McGonagall's tight nerves under the double warning of the reduced score hourglass and the hard work of confinement.

Snape was the head of the patrol, trying to stick his big nose into every hole every day to explore the secrets that should or shouldn't be there.Let Snape have power, which makes many people dissatisfied, especially the students of Gryffindor, because they don’t know when the big bat will suddenly come out of the corner and give them a warning casually, regardless of them. He will deduct Gryffindor points if he makes any mistakes.

"Look, there is a cat, a mixed blood, a pure blood, and a Muggle that are being attacked! The monsters in the secret room are out of control at all. Now everyone must worry about their own lives. Now that we all know Sara Cha Slytherin is the culprit in creating the secret room, and Slytherin should be held responsible for it. I would rather they stand up and apologize to everyone, and then join the team looking for prisoners than to let their selfish court Every day I think about how to deduct points for other colleges. Our college finally got some points, and now they are almost gone!” Lee Jordan of Gryffindor College said, and got the approval of many people. He was caught by Snape on patrol because he held a private rally and deducted twenty points ("Another excuse!" George Weasley said angrily).

The students were escorted by the teacher to the class. Some late courses, or those that the teachers deemed less necessary—such as Lockhart’s Defence Against the Dark Arts—are cancelled, and the number of homework The sharp decrease is the only thing that makes students feel gratified.

Harry and Ron gathered in the middle of a group of Gryffindors. Their class for today was all over. The team hurriedly moved to the lounge, and it was Flitwick who escorted them.No one is in the mood to make a laugh. They are in a down mood, but occasionally whisper a word or two to a friend next to them.

When they turned a corner, Harry felt his sleeve was grabbed by someone, but he should be walking on the leftmost side of the team!He let out a cold sweat and almost pulled out his wand-luckily he turned his head and glanced subconsciously.

Zoe stood quietly in the shadows. She was alone and there was no one beside her. This was not compliant, but Harry immediately thought that she should have ran out of the team secretly.Zoe didn't speak to him, just stuffed a note in his hand, glanced at him, and quickly disappeared to the other side of the corridor.

No one noticed the previous scene, and Harry said nothing.He turned his head and continued talking to Ron, chatting about some common topics, and since Hermione was attacked, even talking about Quidditch between them didn't feel very interesting.They were worried about their friends, and it seemed that Zoe was about to act.Harry tightened his fists, the edges and corners of the note stabbed his palm with dull pain, and his consciousness had never been sober.

******

Harry called Ron to a corner of the lounge. He asked Ron to take his magic chess set. Two people sat at the table and pretended to be playing chess. He whispered to Ron Zois to give him something. At the same time, the note was carefully unfolded.

"At eight o'clock in the evening, in front of the stone monster in the corridor on the third floor, the password is ice lemon juice." As soon as they finished reading the words on the note, a small cluster of flames suddenly swallowed the note until it burned to ashes.The boys had to scramble to cover up the fire here, and use robes to cover the sight of any prying eyes.

"She's really a lunatic, I think she must have set up a mechanism on the note. As long as the note has been read, it will spontaneously burn. Then we can't give the note to the professor." Ron complained. "She actually thought we would inform the professors? We are not Malfoy! She doesn't believe us at all, we actually want to cooperate with such people!"

"I understand that she must also be careful. If the slip of paper falls into the hands of someone with malicious intent, it will be dangerous." The chariot on Harry's side rushed in and turned the guard on Ron's board. The army smashed into flight, and the Guards groaned and fell on the chessboard, and Ron had to take it out carefully.

"Harry, you should think about it if we were not spreading the paper on the table but holding it in our hands, the paper would burn your hands. This is a despicable method!" Ron was still very dissatisfied. "Are you sure we are going to the appointment tonight?"
