HP's return to innocence

Chapter 67 Major Change

Fudge had just agreed to Lucius's suggestion, and the next day, his subordinates who investigated the illegal entry of Acetracanthus in the past few decades brought him "good news".

"Rubus Hagrid? Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure, Minister, this is all the information I found in a short period of time." A bulging file bag was placed in front of Fudge.

If Fudge hadn't been sure that this subordinate's character would not talk nonsense because he had been bribed by the nobles, he must have thought that someone was framing the leader of the White Wizard - no one stipulated that the subordinates of the bad guys were all greedy gluttons.

Telling the subordinate to leave, Fudge began looking through the files in the portfolio.

I really didn't expect this incident to be traced back to 50 years ago at the earliest, but then Fudge recalled that a female student did die at that time, so that Hogwarts was almost closed. Although he was still very young at the time, because of this incident There was a lot of trouble, so he still had an impression.

However, the female student’s death didn’t seem to be poisoned by spiders. In other words, the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts may have found a scapegoat, but Hagrid raised a monster in the form of a spider, and When the Ministry of Magic officials went to arrest it, it was certain that the monster had been released.

Dumbledore became headmaster, Rubeus Hagrid became gamekeeper, and the half-giant warden bought a female acromantula almost as soon as he took over the job of the Forbidden Forest.Even if he didn't just smuggle an acromantula, the big one, the smuggler still remembers it very clearly. After all, Hagrid's stature is really not easy to forget, and he repeatedly asked for only females at that time. It was really impressive - the businessman thought Hagrid himself had some special fetish.

The fact was obvious, but it was unexpected, because Hagrid was also one of the victims, so although the half-giant gamekeeper had a bad habit of loving special creatures, no one thought he was the perpetrator at all.Even though he knew that spiders had been breeding and living in the Forbidden Forest for many years, Fudge only thought that they were thrown into the Forbidden Forest decades ago during Voldemort's reign.

Knowing the truth, Fudge now has two choices: one is to give this document to Dumbledore, and then find a family with a bad reputation, and cover the prisoner's hat, and the matter will be solved; Get the facts out there.

Choice one is easy, and that's what most people like and are happy to even desire to see.But Fudge chose the second without hesitation—why did he help Dumbledore?what is the benefit?Everyone gets the Minister for Magic job for him because Dumbledore has graciously renounced worldly power.Everyone looked at him with critical eyes of "you have to be grateful".

When he's doing well, those people are like "If it was Dumbledore, he would have done better", if he's doing badly, they'll be like "If it were Dumbledore, this would never happen .”

And when he faced the old principal, he had to remain humble and respectful.Merlin knew how much he wanted to take off his shoes and throw them in that old guy's face!

On the day of the funeral of the two children, the "Daily Prophet" published the whole story of the acromantula incident, and at the same time Rubeus Hagrid was formally arrested by the Ministry of Magic.

Fudge's quick and crisp actions surprised Lucius and the rest of the nobles.The Ministry of Magic prosecuted Hagrid for the murder of two young wizards and negligence of duty.If convicted, even if the half-giant can escape the kiss of the dementor, it will stay in Azkaban for the rest of its life.

Dumbledore was prosecuted for dereliction of duty at the same time. After all, almost how many years he has been the headmaster, and how many years the acromantula has been comfortably breeding in the Forbidden Forest. Who is dereliction of duty if he is not dereliction of duty?

As for whether someone would say, "Hagrid is the gamekeeper, he is the one who manages the game. He is the master of everything, and has nothing to do with Principal Dumbledore."

Those who say these words are completely ignorant of the law—even if the laws of the wizarding world are not so sound, at least there is "joint and several liability".

As long as Hagrid was hired by Dumbledore, and as long as the Forbidden Forest was within the scope of Hogwarts, then Dumbledore would be jointly and severally responsible for this person and this place if something happened.

Because Narcissa was busy late at night at Mother's Love Home, who else was absent from the breakfast at Malfoy's house.

"It can almost be described as swift and resolute." Draco, who was reading the newspaper at the breakfast table, expressed his amazement at Fudge's actions, but perhaps it was because of the big incident that occurred in the second year-it was not the Ministry of Magic's mess. The most important event - Fudge is still proud of the spring breeze, and the takeaway is full of fighting spirit, so it is so straightforward to start.

Dumbledore's silence on Hagrid's matter was not beyond Draco's expectations. In fact, recalling the last time, when the Chamber of Secrets incident in the second year began, Hagrid was taken away by the Ministry of Magic, which turned over old accounts. Dumbledore kept There was silence.In the third grade, Hagrid's Hippogriff was tried and killed, and it was not Dumbledore who really helped Hagrid save the beast.

In fact, since Dumbledore gave up his position as Minister of Magic, he had one of his biggest weaknesses: no matter how good his reputation is, he is just a powerful ordinary wizard with a good reputation, and he cannot go against the system.

So Draco is a little regretful and a little terrified of the current situation that is completely beyond expectations. He regrets that he is not in the third grade now, otherwise Dumbledore's reputation will be completely ruined if the werewolf professor is brought up together. —Actually, the Ministry of Magic later promoted Dumbledore as an old man with dementia, and it was not unrelated to him letting a werewolf become a professor. Since that incident was exposed, Dumbledore's image among the public is no longer so bright .

What is frightening is that with such a large-scale change in history, he is not sure whether the future will be better or worse for the Malfoy family.

"Father, will Dumbledore still be the headmaster of Hogwarts?"

"If the charge of dereliction of duty is convicted, then even if he wants to be, it will be impossible, and even the leader of the White Wizard will return to Azkaban. If the charge is not found, then as long as the school board does not attack, he will still It's the principal."

The voice of the platinum nobleman was a little fluttering. After all, he asked his son to command the basilisk to drive away the acromantula in the Forbidden Forest. He just wanted to make some "little" troubles for Hogwarts and Dumbledore, so that he would stop Just keep staring at yourself.But now, this little trouble is getting bigger and bigger.

The three Voldemorts also didn't eat, and each had a copy of the "Daily Prophet", with a unified expression of frowning and contemplation—if they knew that it was so easy to get Dumbledore into big trouble, why did they go through so much trouble back then?

"You are the school manager, Mr. Malfoy." Crown was attracted by the conversation between the Platinum father and son, and of course he would not admit that he had been paying attention to Draco's words and deeds...

"Father, I don't agree that you should take the lead in such a matter." Drake said first, he still remembered how his father lost his position as a school manager last time.Who knows if Dumbledore will come back again, when the time comes, those bastards in the school board will definitely use the person who took the lead first as a scapegoat.

Drake's reaction was a bit unexpected to Lucius. In fact, he thought it was a good opportunity to take the lead in suppressing Dumbledore, which would also benefit his reputation among the nobles, but... since his son is unwilling...

"Father, you never think that taking this opportunity, you can just push out our school strike declaration?" Lucius, who was thinking, let Draco misunderstand that he was still very interested in bringing down Dumbledore himself, Immediately found a new topic to divert his attention.

"Indeed." Lucius' eyes lit up. There have been too many things going on recently, and he almost forgot about the plan his son made. As long as those reforms are implemented, no matter whether Dumbledore is the headmaster or not, Hogwarts will no longer be It belongs to him. "It just so happens that Fudge expressed his willingness to cooperate with our propaganda."

"However, in that case, Dumbledore's responsibility will be weakened instead." Crown curled his lips aside.

Although Lucius hasn't said how to promote it, he has already guessed seven or eight points.It is nothing more than to say that Hagrid has long been accused and feared by the students, but Principal Dumbledore was busy with affairs and was blinded by the half-giant's acting skills, which resulted in the current tragedy.

But if the reforms demanded by the students are followed, the students also have veto power over the faculty and staff, so that the faculty and staff who make the students feel a serious threat have already been dismissed.

"The saying 'Only the dead are not a threat' is seriously wrong." Drake sighed, although the crown is much better than the main soul, but most of the time he still prefers to deal with things in a simple and rude way, "Why do we put Deng Bullido considered a dangerous enemy?"

"Because he's powerful." Guan Guan answered very simply, and the other two Horcruxes also nodded in agreement.

Platinum father and son laughed at the same time, Lucius stood up, patted his son on the shoulder: "I'll go and see your mother." He gave his son the look that I gave you here.

Drake nodded, and began to preach to the three Horcruxes: "Personal strength is nothing, don't use your own experience as an example. Slytherin's loyalty to you at the beginning was firstly because of the needs of the situation at that time, and secondly Because you happen to be the last descendants of Slytherin, it is because of your individual strength in the end. As for their loyalty later, it is because of the indelible Dark Mark. So, don't always put the words "I am strong" As the saying goes, you are refined and cunning Slytherins, not Gryffindors who rely on brute force."

"..." It was implied that the three Horcruxes that were all Gryffindors had gloomy faces at the same time.

"As for Dumbledore, his strength lies first in the fact that he defeated Gellert Grindelwald. Before Harry Potter, he was the savior. This reputation brought him great appeal. Secondly, he He is the headmaster of Hogwarts. For decades, how many people have been his students. Except for Slytherin, the other three colleges do not know how many people regard him as a hero and idol. Then, there is his good reputation , He has always been synonymous with benevolence, justice, kindness, etc., which is much more attractive than Cruciatus and Avada Kedavra."

The three Horcruxes curled their lips at the same time: "Which side are you on, Mr. Malfoy?" Crown could not help asking.

"I'm on the side of the Malfoy family, so now you can sit at the dinner table intact, can't you?" Draco pointed to the good steak on the crown plate, "In short, a powerful wizard is easy to deal with, Including you, including Dumbledore. Your reputation as "the man who cannot speak the name" is not so much earned by you as it is established by the Death Eaters for you. So, for Dumbledore, as long as he His reputation has been ruined, and as long as the students don't see him as great anymore, he's just an old man waiting to die."

Draco still remembered the situation revealed by Gryffindor after the last Chamber of Secrets incident.They say that Dumbledore told the Savior "As long as there is one person at Hogwarts who is loyal to me, I will never leave".

This made Draco feel ridiculous, who did he think he was?One of the founding Big Four?The word loyalty can barely be used between the principal and the professor, they are regarded as superiors and subordinates, but what qualifications does he have to talk about loyalty to a group of students?

In addition, as the headmaster of Hogwarts, is Dumbledore loyal to his position as headmaster?Has he properly fulfilled his responsibilities as headmaster?

Even if Dumbledore had done all that, he would have shoveled him out if he got in the way of the Malfoys!What's more, Dumbledore didn't do all that, so the two accounts must be settled once!

The Malfoys were all dressed up for the funerals of their two children.Of course, it wasn't just him, although the deceased were just two ordinary Gryffindor students, and their families were just ordinary wizard families.However, this was a grand funeral attended by almost all the important people in the British magical world, and a large number of wizards came spontaneously.
