Chapter 82 Dumbledore's Decision
When Harry and Ron returned to the Gryffindor Lounge, almost all the Gryffindor students gathered in the common room.
Many people looked at Harry with complicated eyes and then took the initiative to apologize for questioning that he was the successor of Slytherin.
Everyone knows that Harry is absolutely impossible to hurt Hermione. The attack on Hermione today is equivalent to clearing Harry's grievances in another sense.
But Harry would rather not purify this way of eliminating grievances.
George and Fred were giving speeches in anger, and they were passing the anger and unwillingness in their hearts to the entire Slytherin Academy.
After all, the secret room and the monsters in it were created by Salazar Slytherin, and Gryffindor has always been incompatible with Slytherin.
At this time, Professor McGonagall came to the public lounge and his face was obviously pale and announced that Hogwarts would be blocked from school next. The Ministry of Magic has intervened in this matter. She hopes that if anyone knows any clues, she can tell the professor.
Because as long as you catch the murderer, you can save all this.
Seeing Professor McGonagall climb out of the portrait hole with a clumsy movement, the entire Gryffindor College students were silent.
No matter how huge the condemnation they are here, they have no impact on the current situation.
But Harry, who was hiding in the corner, gradually became firmer at this time.
"We're going to find Hagrid!"
Ron said in a slump: "I don't believe Hagrid will hurt Hermione."
"I don't believe it either, but since he released the monster in the secret room last time, he must know about the secret room! We must go and talk to Hagrid!"
They agreed on a plan, and in the evening, Harry took out the invisibility cloak left by his father to him, and slipped out of the already heavily guarded Hogwarts Castle with Ron.
Not only the professors, but also all the chiefs and ghosts in the castle were mobilized and patrolled around the castle.
Harry and the others took a lot of effort to arrive at Hagrid's cabin.
Hagrid seemed very nervous. He held a bow and arrow in his hand and kept looking around his hut, almost accidentally hurting Harry and Ron who were sneaking over.
"It turned out to be you, I thought it was..." He put away his bow and arrow, said something vaguely, and took Harry and the others into his hut.
Hagrid was absent-mindedly making tea for them, and Harry and the others had no unnecessary nonsense, so they said straight to the point.
"Hermione was attacked."
Hagrid's voice was obviously choked, and he handed the tea to Harry and Ron respectively.
"Oh, yes, I heard about it."
While doing this, his eyes were still looking out the window. Harry wanted to keep staring at Hagrid's eyes, but he could not catch Hagrid's eyes at all.
"We want to know if you know something..."
Just after his voice fell, a soft knock suddenly sounded outside the door of the cottage.
Hagrid threw away the fruit cake in his hand, and Harry and Ron exchanged gazes in panic. The things they stole out of the castle must not be discovered by others.
Then he quickly put the invisible cloak on his body and retreated to a corner. Seeing that they were all hidden, Hagrid grabbed his bow and arrow and pulled the door open again.
The person knocking on the door was Dumbledore, and he was surrounded by a middle-aged witch wearing a suit and a tie, and a wizard's cloak.
Ron recognized who the witch was following Dumbledore, and he whispered to Harry's ear.
"This is the Magic Minister Connelly Forge, my dad's immediate boss."
Ha used his elbow to hit him, signaling him not to speak.
Hagrid looked at Foggy with a very ugly face, but because Dumbledore was right next to him, he could only turn sideways and invite them both into the cabin and sit down.
Fuji said in a very difficult tone, but no one could hear that he could actually speak more impatiently than anyone else.
"There are four attacks in Hogwarts now, and the writers of the Prophet Daily are writing overnight. By tomorrow, the entire British magic circle will know what is going on here, so I have to take some measures before that. It's bad, really bad, Hagrid, I have to find you."
He was not straightforward, but even Harry and Ron, who were hiding in the corner, understood what he wanted to express.
"I don't." Heg looked at Dumbledore pleaded, "You know I don't, Professor Dumbledore, sir..."
Dumbledore was very calm at this time, as if he knew what would happen next before he came here.
"I emphasize to you again, Fudge, I believe Hagrid more than anyone else. Whether it is before or now, the attacks in the castle have nothing to do with him. Even if you take him away today, it will be of no use."
"Why can't you think about it from my perspective?" Forge played with his hat in his hand. "I'm sitting in the position of Minister of Magic. Now that something has happened, I have to do something to explain to the people. Besides, I didn't say how to take Hagrid, but just asked him to go to a place to do some investigation. After the real murderer is caught, we will put him back."
Hagrid's face was pale, and he asked in a trembling voice.
"You are going to lock me up in Azkaban?"
Foggy did not give a clear answer, he said ambiguously.
"Where you take is the exact way to go depends on the subsequent development of the situation."
The brief silence that fell into the cottage, no one spoke except the heavy breathing of Hagrid
Until Dumbledore held his hands in front of him, looked at Fudge, and asked in a tone that made people confused about his attitude.
"You must take Hagrid away today?"
The more he did this, the more Forge was unable to figure out what Dumbledore meant.
After weighing the trade-offs for a long time, Fuji said it in great confusion.
"You have to consider the feelings of the people... They need an explanation, Dumbledore... I have no choice..."
Hearing that he said this, Dumbledore raised his hand gently, preventing Fudge from continuing to speak.
"If you insist, as the Minister of Magic, you certainly have the power to take Hagrid away."
Hearing that his attitude was so relaxed, Fuji's face suddenly showed joy, while Hagrid looked dim.
However, Dumbledore said lightly next.
