Chapter 205 Dirty Py Deal, Lockhart: I Believe You, Harry
In Hagrid's hut, Harry and Ronald were asking about the secret room.
The confinement for the two of them was not over yet, but Snape's accumulation of toads had been cleaned by them.
Not wanting to keep them idle, Snape left the two of them to Filch.
The dust in the trophy display room seemed to be endless, which made Harry and Ronald miserable.
But they were not without gains.
When wiping a medal for the Special Contribution Award to the school, Harry looked at it a few more times because of Wayne.
The problem was discovered at this glance.
The medal was awarded exactly fifty years ago, and he immediately thought of the secret room.
Later, I went back to check the information and found that Hagrid was expelled from school that year.
Harry became excited all of a sudden, and he instinctively sensed that there must be some kind of connection.
So he took the risk and came to the cabin with Ronald wearing an invisibility cloak.
When he heard the name Tom Riddle, Hagrid's body trembled.
"This is not something you should be asking about, Harry, leave it to Dumbledore, he will take care of everything.
"Hagrid, is your expulsion related to the secret room?"
"No, it's not, it's because of Aragog!" Hagrid said excitedly.
"Who is Aragog?"
"He is an Acromantula. Aragog is not the monster in the secret room. I asked it and it didn't say anything." Hagrid's hands were trembling. "You go back quickly, it will be terrible if the professor finds out." "
Ronald was very confused when he saw Hagrid's nervous and nervous look. Just as he was about to ask something, there were heavy footsteps outside the door.
"Hide quickly." Hagrid quickly asked the two of them to put on invisibility cloaks and hide in the corner, and then nervously opened the door.
"Good afternoon, Hagrid."
It was Dumbledore, who came in, looking very serious, followed by Cornelius Fudge.
The remaining Aurors were scattered around the house, surrounding the place.
"That's Cornelius Fudge." Ronald leaned against Harry's ear and said in the smallest voice:
"He is my dad's boss, the Minister of Magic."
"Hagrid, I'm sorry, the Ministry of Magic must take action." Fudge said very quickly, as if he didn't want to tangle with Hagrid too much here.
"I didn't." Hagrid looked at Dumbledore pleadingly, "Professor, you know, I didn't do it...22."
"Cornelly, even though I have said it countless times, I still want to say it." Dumbledore frowned at Fudge. Through the invisibility cloak, Harry saw Dumbledore's angry look again.
And the last time, it was because of him bullying Malfoy.
"I believe Hagrid, he will never be the one to open the secret room."
"But Albus, this is no longer something I can stop." Fudge said unnaturally: "I helped you stop the investigation team last time, but how long has it been since?"
"You have to let me give an explanation to the Wizengamot and the bloods, right?"
"Then what if Hagrid is taken away and the attack still happens?" Dumbledore was a little angry and his voice became deeper.
"That would be even better." Fudge became happy instead: "In that case, I can put Hagrid back, but at present, he is the most suspicious."
"Be patient. If it turns out it's not Hagrid, I promise to return it to you intact."
"Oh yes, do you need a new gamekeeper?"
"Where are you taking me?" Hagrid's body was trembling: "No, it won't be Azkaban, right?"
Before Fudge could answer, someone knocked on the door again.
Dumbledore went to open the door, and in walked a pale middle-aged man with long platinum blond hair.
Harry recognized him immediately. He was Malfoy's father, Lucius Malfoy.
"Lucius?" Fudge was surprised to see his appearance.
"Fudge, you're here too, that's good." Lucius looked at the situation in the house with satisfaction. Hagrid snorted angrily: "What are you doing here? Get out and leave my house!"
"You call this a house?" Lucius looked at the small room with an exaggerated expression. "Oh yes, that's normal. After all, you are one of those Weasley friends."
Harry clearly saw Ronald clenching his fists, and he quickly pressed him down.
If you go out now, you will be dead.
"But I'm not here to find you." Lucius sneered: "It's just that someone told me that Dumbledore came here.
"You're looking for me, Lucius?" said Dumbledore, trying hard to maintain his civility, but his displeasure was palpable personally.
"when..."
Bang!
This time it was Lucius's turn to be interrupted. A ball of blazing fire suddenly exploded in the cabin, and a young man walked out.
"Is it so lively?" Wayne was a little surprised.
"Mr. Lawrence." Dumbledore nodded, and Fudge smiled at the right moment.
Lawrence's name often appeared in his ears, especially recently when he learned that the other party was going to receive a second-level Merlin Medal, so he wanted to ask for it even more.
Only Lucius frowned.
"Lawrence? My son's tutor? You..."
Lucius couldn't say the rest of the words.
Terrifying magic waves were released from Wayne's body. Waves of wind and waves appeared out of thin air in the sealed cabin. The fire flickered on and off, and was on the verge of extinguishing at any time.
"Sir, what do you want to say?" Wayne asked quietly.
"You are much more handsome than what he described." Lucius forced a smile on his face and changed his tone abruptly: "Lawrence, what a kind surname." My ancestor and your ancestor were colleagues. "
Dumbledore, who had been suppressing his anger since entering the door, also smiled.
There are many things he cannot do because they are constraints he has set for himself.
But that doesn't mean he doesn't want to do it.
Watching Wayne overpower others with his strength, Lao Deng felt so happy.
"Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Malfoy." Wayne also smiled gently.
"It seems that I came at the wrong time. You should deal with your problems first. I'm not in a hurry." Wayne stretched out his hand and took a step back, intending to watch the fun first.
Lucius Malfoy was a little surprised, but seeing that Wayne really had no intention of intervening, he felt relieved, took out a piece of parchment and opened it.
"I have the pleasure to inform you, Dumbledore, that you have been dismissed."
Lucius couldn't suppress the upturned corner of his mouth: "Twelve directors jointly signed the authorization. They unanimously believe that you are not suitable to hold the position of principal again. Please take a temporary rest for a while.
"This is not allowed!" Hagrid exclaimed, "How many despicable methods did you use to get them to sign on the parchment?"
"What qualifications does a prisoner who is about to enter Azkaban have to speak here?"
Lucius glanced at Hagrid with disdain, but quickly turned to Dumbledore: "Now, please leave the school immediately. During this special period, please don't tease people too much."
"Lucius, if Dumbledore can't stop it..." Fudge was sweating profusely and hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
He took Hagrid away not to break up with Dumbledore. On the contrary, he felt that only Dumbledore could ensure the stability of the school.
"Sorry Fudge, this is the opinion of the entire board of directors." Lucius laughed so hard that even Harry couldn't help it and wanted to jump out and beat him.
Wayne clicked his tongue in surprise.
Just with this smile, even if Draco Malfoy is not his mother's biological child, he must be Lucius's son.
"If they need me to leave, I will." Dumbledore looked at Lucius's gray pupils: "But what I want to say is that I will only truly leave the school when everyone here betrays me."
"Who knows?" Lucius laughed inexplicably.
"Then please leave, Dumbledore."
Without saying any more nonsense, Dumbledore straightened his back and strode out of the door. Fudge was also ready to let the Aurors come in and take away Hagrid.
"Wait a moment, Mr. Fudge." Wayne stopped him.
"Mr. Lawrence, is something wrong?" Fudge looked at him doubtfully.
"As for Hagrid, he was wronged." Wayne said softly.
"Sorry, I can't decide on this. The documents from the Ministry of Magic have been issued and he must be taken away.
Fudge didn't give face, he didn't even give Dumbledore face, let alone Wayne now.
"Of course, I won't embarrass you." Wayne said without any surprise: "But the place of detention, I think Azkaban is too harsh. "Why is it in the Ministry of Magic?"
"This..." Fudge looked embarrassed, ready to think for two seconds before rejecting Wayne.
"Don't worry yet. I heard that the Ministry of Magic is currently discussing with the Cabinet the right to use a building, right?"
"Yes, it will be used to train new Aurors and recruit medical staff for the Department of Magical Disasters." Fudge nodded, not too surprised that Wayne knew the news.
"What a coincidence." Wayne smiled: "The property rights of that building happen to be owned by the Lawrence family.
"We can have a good chat about rent."
"Sorry, Lawrence..." Fudge wanted to refuse, because the rent saved would not go into his pocket.
"I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry, Mr. Minister." Wayne emphasized: "There will be no change in the rent, but all the rental income in the first year will be used as commission for the middleman who facilitated the transaction. .
"What's the use of telling me, I'm not a winner..." Fudge was stunned, and instantly understood what Wayne meant, his heart was beating wildly.
This is not a small amount of money.
"I think what you said makes sense." Foley immediately changed his attitude, "Rubus (Hagrid) is just a suspect, not a confirmed prisoner. It is really inappropriate to be locked up in Azkaban directly."
"I will arrange a suitable environment for him."
"Thank you, Minister Fudge." Wayne smiled and winked at the stunned Hagrid.
Lucius on the side was gasping for air.
This kid... is so terrifying!
Using money to hit people has always been a specialty of his Malfoy family. Relying on this ability, he was able to escape the liquidation of the Death Eaters more than ten years ago.
And now he has found someone who is better at bribery than him, oh no, someone who can speed up the circulation of wealth.
This hand is really too high.
The way Lucius looked at Wayne had completely changed.
Being strong is scary, and people who can spend money are also scary.
When these two abilities are concentrated in one person, it can only be described as terrifying.
Hagrid was taken away, but after knowing that he would not go to Azkaban, he behaved obviously much more normally.
Before Lucius left, he also extended an invitation to Wayne to come to Malfoy Manor as a guest when he had time.
Wayne smiled and agreed, but didn't take it seriously.
You don't need to get used to this kind of wallflower, they will get along by themselves when the time comes.
Before he left, he glanced at the corner where Harry was hiding intentionally or unintentionally, but he didn't reveal anything.
The room suddenly became empty
After confirming that everyone outside had left, Harry pulled off the invisibility cloak and breathed heavily.
"I'm sure both Wayne and Professor Dumbledore have spotted us."
"What do you think, Ronald?"
After receiving no response for a long time, Harry turned to look at his friend.
Ronald kept mumbling: "What did they mean by what they just said? Why did Fudge change his mind?"
DAU:"......"
Hagrid was taken away and Dumbledore was 'resigned'.
Two incidents caused quite a stir in the school.
Professor McGonagall temporarily took over Dumbledore's position. No one doubted that she would not be a good principal, but she was unable to bring the sense of security to the students that Dumbledore did.
At least, many Slytherin students were not satisfied with this result.
Malfoy is the one who jumps the most.
"I already knew that father would drive Dumbledore away." He deliberately raised his voice so that not only the Slytherin table could hear it, but also the houses next to it.
"He thinks Dumbledore is the worst headmaster, and he will finally have a decent one in the future."
At this time, Snape walked past him.
"Professor!" Malfoy shouted deliberately: "Why don't you apply for the position of Headmaster?"
"Is this..." Snape couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth: 150 "Dumbledore was only temporarily suspended, and Professor McGonagall was only temporarily substituted. He is still the principal now."
"It won't happen soon. I think you are more suitable. I will ask my father to vote for you, as well as the other directors."
After saying that, Malfoy smiled proudly, and many Slytherins also flattered him.
"No way!" Hermione turned around and glared at him: "Dumbledore is the most qualified principal. Even if he leaves, the next principal will only be Professor McGonagall!"
The smiles on everyone's faces faded, even Snape couldn't smile anymore.
He glared at Hermione and left without saying anything.
Malfoy shrank his neck in fear: "Granger, this is the decision of the board of directors. You can't change any outcome, not even Lawrence can do it."
Now no one in Slytherin dares to mess with Hermione, nor the other little witches who are close to Wayne, because they don't want to be hung from the ceiling like Flint, especially Malfoy.
Fear.
Once he made a mockery of Hermione in Potions class, and somehow Wayne found out about it.
Then during the extra classes that weekend, he received special care from Wayne.
By the time I regained consciousness, it was already the afternoon of the next day, and my whole body was in severe pain.
But no matter what, many people believed that Hagrid was the murderer, and the control in the castle began to become looser.
Only Harry has been tirelessly telling others that Hagrid is innocent, but no one believes them.
Except Lockhart.
"Harry, there are too many suspicious things here, I trust your judgment.
"The murderer has not been caught yet, so we still cannot take it lightly."
Once after class, Lockhart left Harry alone to encourage him.
"Thank you, Professor Lockhart!" Harry looked at him gratefully, and his liking for Lockhart suddenly rose several levels.
He now even thinks that it is true that Lockhart can defeat those evil monsters, but not with magic, but with his clever mind.
He was the first to deduce that there was a monster hidden in the secret room, and he was also the first to believe that Hagrid was not the murderer.
Harry had been fooled into lameness.
"Don't worry, I already have a lot of clues." Lockhart showed a sunny smile.
"I will definitely catch the murderer."
"I believe in you Professor, if you need anything, I will definitely help."
"Of course." Lockhart pretended not to care and said, "I heard from Malfoy that you are still a Parseltongue?"
Harry hesitated for a moment: "Yes, yes."
"That's great, the monster in the secret room happens to be related to snakes." Lockhart patted him heavily on the shoulder, meaningfully: "You will definitely be of great help.
There's only a week left before the mandrake matures.
There is always a climax before the curtain comes down.
As for the most important supporting role, he has already chosen it.
Thanks to [Buddhist beater], [Stele Spirit Kiss] and several other bosses for their rewards. I can only see your account number at the back of the website, but not your name.
Lockhart will be offline tomorrow, and the top-looking senior Tom will be back!.
