Chapter 83 If you have the ability, you can find Dumbledore now!(1/2)
Only then did John, Michelle and others discover.
Because of Harry's roar just now, many people in the auditorium were attracted to the foyer.
Umbridge is one of them.
She squeezed out from the crowd of watching students and looked at Hagrid and others with disdain.
Ron's originally flushed face instantly turned pale, and he almost subconsciously hid the Firebolt behind his back.
"Professor Umbridge..."
Hagrid smiled awkwardly and said hello.
Umbridge ignored Hagrid, but pointed to another, larger package carried on Hagrid's shoulders and said:
"What's this?"
"It's a gift." Hagrid replied quickly.
"Gift?"
Umbridge blinked and repeated it.
At this moment, she subconsciously thought that this gift might be for her.
After all, Umbridge has encountered too many similar things.
When she was at the Ministry of Magic, many people would secretly give her gifts almost every day, trying to get her to do something for them.
Recently, she happened to be conducting a teaching review on Hagrid, with the intention of expelling him from Hogwarts.
So it is understandable that Hagrid would give her a gift.
Moreover, the fact that Hagrid gave her a gift means that Hagrid has betrayed Dumbledore and begun to show his kindness to Umbridge.
This is exactly what Umbridge wants.
If this was the case, Umbridge would be willing to let Hagrid go.
The only thing Hagrid didn't do well in this matter was that he gave the gift in a wrong way.
How can you give gifts in public?
How can she accept this?
Umbridge's mind was spinning very quickly and she quickly went through the whole thing.
"Ahem——"
She coughed twice, adjusted her expression and showed a warm smile, "Hagrid, I appreciate your kindness. But I am not only a professor, but also the senior investigator of Hogwarts of the Ministry of Magic. As the Ministry of Magic
As an official, I cannot accept gifts or bribes, so you..."
"Wait! Professor Umbridge!" Hagrid interrupted with a look of surprise, "This gift is not for you."
Umbridge was also stunned when she heard this.
Hagrid continued:
"This is my gift to Green, to thank him for helping...well, helping me a big favor!"
As he spoke, Hagrid opened another package.
I saw that it was filled to the brim with all kinds of precious materials packed into packages.
There are a huge number of them, and most importantly, they are all top quality.
With only a cursory glance, John estimated that the market price of this pile of materials would be at least eight thousand Galleons!
In other words, the price of this pile of materials is more expensive than the Firebolt!
"Please accept it, Green." Hagrid smiled and carried the package to John's feet. "These are high-end materials that I collected in the hut and traded with the centaurs. I guess you must need these."
Looking at Hagrid who looked sincere in front of him.
John was a little shocked at this moment.
He actually didn't care how much materials Hagrid gave him.
Now almost half of Gringotts' treasure is in his hands.
Such things as wealth mean nothing to him.
What really made John feel upset was Hagrid's sincerity.
You must know that the Firebolt plus so many materials is more than 10,000 Galleons!
Although Hagrid is very rich, his home is filled with all kinds of materials, some of which he even throws away as garbage.
But taking out so many galleons at once must have emptied his fortune.
Normal people would not spend all their money on giving gifts just to thank others.
But Hagrid did just that.
And he did it with great joy.
Taking a deep breath, John solemnly accepted Hagrid's gift and said:
"I love this gift, Hagrid."
Hagrid scratched his head in embarrassment and said:
"As long as you like it, hehehe, as long as you like it."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Michelle and others beside them became even happier.
And what they didn't notice was.
Umbridge's complexion next to her has turned livid!
In her opinion, she was undoubtedly tricked by Hagrid, Green and others!
And it’s still in public!
"Rubber Hagrid!" Umbridge said through gritted teeth, "You have gone too far!"
Hagrid turned his head in confusion and said:
"Um, Professor Umbridge, I don't understand what you mean."
"If you don't understand, just don't understand. It doesn't matter anyway!" Umbridge sneered and took out a parchment document with the seal of the Minister of Magic from her arms and said, "Originally, I wanted to wait a few days before telling you.
You, by the way, I can give you a chance!
But now I have changed my mind!
Rubeus Hagrid, I now officially inform you as the Senior Inquisitor of Hogwarts.
Since you failed the teaching review, the Ministry of Magic has ruled that you have been dismissed!
Please take your rags and get out of Hogwarts now! Immediately! Immediately!"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
Although everyone knew very well that sooner or later Umbridge would have to fire a professor to re-establish her authority.
But I didn't expect it to be so sudden.
"No! You can't!"
Michelle shouted.
"Miss Shafik, it's not up to you to say yes or no." Umbridge said with a smile, "This is the power given to me by the Ministry of Magic! Besides, Rubeus Hagrid's teaching level is indeed worrying.
Isn't it?"
Umbridge's last question was to the students watching behind her.
However, although there was no voice of approval in the crowd, there was also no voice of opposition.
After all, Umbridge was indeed right on this point.
Hagrid's teaching level is indeed not high.
In comparison, a large number of students preferred the former substitute teacher of the Care of Magical Creatures class - Wilmina Graplan.
Of course, Michelle, Harry and others would definitely not accept this.
They surrounded Umbridge and struggled and defended Hagrid.
Even Ron joined in.
It's a pity that no matter what they said, Umbridge remained motionless. Instead, the sneer on her face became thicker and thicker.
This is different from the violent reactions of Michelle and others.
Although Hagrid was a little sad, he seemed extremely calm.
"Oh - I had expected this." He sighed, "I am an unpopular person, I should leave now."
After saying this, he walked out of the castle dejectedly.
But at this moment, John grabbed his arm.
To be continued...
