The Alchemist of Harry Potter

In the evening, while Hagrid was preparing dinner in the kitchen, an owl flew in from the window and threw a note on the table.

"Who sent it?"

Hagrid looked at the flying owl suspiciously, wiped his hand on the apron, picked up the note, opened it and glanced at it, and was stunned by the contents of the note.

Another attack at Hogwarts Castle!

Hagrid raised his head and looked at the castle through the window, with anxiety and fear in his eyes.

This is absolutely the worst news Hagrid has received in recent months, and the Muggle wizard who was attacked by the Slytherin heir was the Hermione Granger he knew.

To be honest, Hagrid liked this bright and kind girl very much. He had been at Hogwarts for so many years, and Hermione was one of the few students who had a good relationship with Hagrid.

After reading it, Hagrid threw the note into the fireplace and said to himself, "The mandrakes will soon be harvested for medicine. She'll be fine, she'll be fine."

After being silent for half a year, Slytherin's heir is now starting to move again, which is undoubtedly bad news for Hagrid, and even worse according to Albert. If the attacks continue, it will be his turn to be unlucky.

Even Hagrid had to admit that Albert's predictions were really accurate, and within hours of Hermione's attack, an owl from the Ministry of Magic sent him a letter.

Even without looking, you can guess what is written inside.

As with any letter from the Ministry of Magic, there must be nothing good in that letter.

Honestly, Hagrid didn't have the slightest fondness for the Ministry of Magic.

After reading the letter, Hagrid knew that he was going to enter Azkaban.

Hagrid had been there for a while back then, and it was a very bad experience.

He didn't want to go to Azkaban.

After a bit of confusion, Hagrid decided to write to Albert seeking his advice, and Professor Dumbledore, who surely knew he was innocent.

As Hagrid considered asking Dumbledore for help, Albert's words replayed in his head: "You think they don't know you're innocent? No, of course they do, just because you're the best fit to take the blame, After all, someone has to take responsibility for this.

"

Hagrid slumped down on the chair, the hound Fang Ya also seemed to sense his master's depression, he made a wobbly sound, and kept rubbing his head against Hagrid, trying to provide his master with some comfort.

yes!

Albert had predicted that day would come, so he would say those words to himself at that time.

Hagrid took a deep breath, touched Fang's head with trembling hands, took the parchment and quill from the cabinet, and started writing to Albert.

In fact, Hagrid's mind was in a mess right now, and he didn't know what to write to Albert at all.

If you are thrown into Azkaban prison by the Ministry of Magic, will someone always take care of your teeth and entrust them to Albert?

It was a good idea, but Hagrid quickly realized that Albert was also a Muggle wizard, and he was now at risk of being targeted by the Slytherin heir.

He can't let Albert take the risk, if even Albert is petrified!

No, Albert can't be risked!

Don't let something happen to Albert.

cannot!

Hagrid crumpled the messy piece of parchment and threw it into the fireplace next to it, where it burned in the flames and soon turned to ashes.

Before Hagrid could write to Albert, a paper airplane whizzed into the house from the window and landed smoothly on the wooden table in front of Hagrid.

Hagrid hurriedly dropped the quill, picked up the paper airplane like a treasure, and opened it carefully, reading the contents inside.

It was Albert's letter, he guessed.

Hagrid looked at the contents of the letter over and over again, as if to keep every sentence in the letter firmly in his mind. Albert's letter and exhortation gave Hagrid a great encouragement.

"Yes, I am innocent," Hagrid murmured.

The Ministry of Magic, knowing that it is innocent, even arrests innocent people and throws them into Azkaban.

The purpose is to make him take the blame.

hateful!

Hagrid was so strong that he almost crushed the letter.

However, Albert believes he will be released from Azkaban before the end of the semester, which gives Hagrid a lot of confidence.

Hagrid was willing to take Albert's word, even though he didn't want to go to Azkaban again, but it was inevitable.

Even though Albert's letter strengthened Hagrid's confidence, the period from dinner to late at night was still a painful torment for Hagrid.

At midnight, Hagrid's hunting lodge was still lit, waiting for someone from the Ministry of Magic. In fact, Hagrid had been sitting there waiting for hours.

The sound of light footsteps outside made Hagrid's nerves tense.

A few seconds later, someone knocked on the wooden door.

Hagrid opened the door abruptly and found no one outside.

The next moment, Harry and Ron appeared without warning, and they sneaked out of the castle wearing invisibility cloaks.

"What are you two doing here?" Hagrid wondered why Harry and Ron would risk leaving the castle at this time.

"Have you heard about Hermione?" Harry put away his invisibility cloak and walked into the house.

Hagrid probably understood what the two were thinking, Albert told him about it, and Harry and Ron probably came to ask about the Chamber of Secrets.

"I heard." Hagrid's voice was choked, "You sit first, I'll make tea for you."

"Hagrid, what's the matter with you?"

Harry noticed that Hagrid was absent-minded, always looking nervously at the window, and even knocked over the teapot. When making tea for them, he forgot to put the tea bags, and only poured them a large glass of boiling water.

"You shouldn't have come." Hagrid looked away from the window and said quickly to Harry and Ron, "I know what you want to ask, but it's probably too late now."

"What's too late?"

Harry and Ron didn't understand what Hagrid was talking about, so they heard Hagrid laugh at himself: "The matter of the secret room has nothing to do with me, Albert even said that with my IQ, I couldn't find the location of the secret room at all, Not to mention being the heir to Slytherin."

Harry and Ron looked at each other with embarrassment, and Hagrid clearly knew what they were coming to him for late at night.

"If you want to know more, go to Albert." Hagrid looked out the window again, "By the way, remember to feed me teeth when I'm not around."

"what?"

Harry and Ron didn't understand Hagrid's last words at all, but at this moment there was a knock on the door.

Harry and Ron exchanged glances uneasily, only to quickly hide under the invisibility cloak and retreat into the corner.

Hagrid saw that the two were hiding, and then went to open the door.

It was Dumbledore who knocked on the door.

Harry felt that Professor Dumbledore's eyes were particularly stern tonight, followed by a squatty wizard.

As long as you regularly read the Daily Prophet, it is not difficult to recognize this person as the current Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge.

What happened next was in Albert's expectations, because Hagrid had a so-called criminal record, so the Ministry of Magic planned to continue to let him take the blame.

Professor Dumbledore was unhappy with such a decision, he tried to convince Fudge, but still could not change anything, just like in those days, he could not convince anyone at all.

Hagrid can now only hope that Albert's predictions are on time and that he will be released from Azkaban's prison before the end of the semester.

As for the so-called precautionary measures in Cornelius Fudge's mouth, Hagrid sounded outrageous.

Will you be released with full apology if you catch another person?

That's the way the Ministry of Magic is, and it's very political, in Albert's words.

"Will the Ministry of Magic publish an apology? I mean if I'm proven innocent." Hagrid took a deep breath, staring straight at Fudge, and the words came out of his mouth coldly.

Not only was Fudge stunned, even Harry, Ron, and Dumbledore were stunned. They didn't expect Hagrid to make such a request.

This is what Albert gave to Hagerty.

"What are you talking about, I didn't hear clearly?" Fudge stuttered a little. He didn't even look Hagrid's eyes. No one expected Hagrid to be so determined. The tone was not like a threat, but to everyone. People say: I am innocent, I am not afraid!

"Will the Ministry of Magic publish an apology if I'm later proven innocent?" Hagrid took another deep breath, loud enough for everyone present to hear.

This time, there was no vibrato in his voice, only firmness and confidence. He was willing to believe in Albert, and he was willing to believe that the other party had a way to prove his innocence, and even more willing to believe his prophecy!

Yes, prophecy!

At this moment, even Dumbledore couldn't help frowning. He didn't expect Hagrid to be so tough all of a sudden. When his eyes met Hagrid, Dumbledore knew the reason.

Yes, Hagrid didn't need to be afraid of the Ministry of Magic at all, because he was innocent, and someone clearly told him this, which undoubtedly gave Hagrid courage and confidence, and even if he slowed down, he couldn't change what he was about to do. Facts about going to Azkaban.

"Oh, that's...of course." Fudge stuttered.

Hagrid looked at Fudge even more unpleasantly at the thought of being locked up in Azkaban for a few months. In particular, the little respect for the Minister of Magic in the past was gone now.

yes!

Fudge like that doesn't deserve his respect.

Now, Hagrid was more willing to trust Albert, believing that he would clear up his grievances.

Harry and Ron, who were hiding in the corner, stared at all of this, dumbfounded. They didn't understand where Hagrid's confidence came from, but looking at Fudge, who was hesitant to talk, Harry's mood suddenly became happy, and he also felt Hagrid was innocent, and the Minister of Magic wanted to lock up Hagrid because Hagrid had a so-called criminal record instead of evidence, which was simply unreasonable.

At this moment, the door of the room was knocked again.

Dumbledore went to open the door, this time it was Lucius Malfoy.

A guy Hagrid hated so much.

Intuition tells Hagrid that Lucius Malfoy's presence here is definitely not a good thing.

It turned out that Hagrid's intuition was right, and Lucius Malfoy's appearance at his door was really not a good thing.

The guy took out a piece of parchment directly from his pocket, and announced in front of everyone that Dumbledore had been dismissed by the school manager, the reason being: "Dumbledore failed to stop these attacks."

The announcement undoubtedly spooked Fudge. Even Fudge's poor brain knows that if even Dumbledore can't stop the attack, who can?

However, Fudge was powerless to stop this from happening, just as Dumbledore was powerless to stop Hagrid from being thrown into Azkaban by the Ministry of Magic.

"You're the one doing this, aren't you!" Hagrid stared at Malfoy ill-naturedly. Albert once said that if anyone wanted to drive Dumbledore away at this time, it would probably have something to do with him.

"A piece of advice for you." Lucius Malfoy's mouth curled into a smug smile. "Azkaban's guards don't like someone yelling at them like that."

"How many people have you threatened and blackmailed to force them to agree to remove Dumbledore?" Hagrid gritted his teeth and said, "It's all your fault, right? You woke up the monsters in the back room, yes You deliberately let it attack Muggle wizards, and now you've taken Dumbledore away, just not leaving a way for Muggle wizards to live..."

"You're a biting mad dog right now." Malfoy didn't care about Hagrid's threat.

"Calm down, Hagrid." Dumbledore sternly stopped Hagrid's accusation. He turned his head to look at Malfoy and said, "If the board wants me to go, of course I'll give up my seat."

"But..." Fudge couldn't imagine how much the situation would deteriorate once Dumbledore left the school, and how much he would be blamed.

"Now, are you happy." Hagrid stared at Fudge and said, "I think you know that as soon as Dumbledore leaves school, there will be murders soon, and you will find that even if you ban Azka from me, Ban prison is also pointless."

"I'm sure your successor will be able to stop... the murder completely." Malfoy strode to the door of the hut, opened it himself, and bowed to send Dumbledore out.

Lucius Malfoy's action made Harry want to rush up and kick his ass, making him slap a dog and eat shit.

After Hagrid followed Fudge away, the hunting lodge door was slammed shut.

"This is trouble." Ron tore off the invisibility cloak and said anxiously: "Dumbledore is gone, who can stop the attack?"

"Albert!" Harry said suddenly.

"Don't forget, he's a Muggle wizard, on Slytherin's attack list," Ron reminded.

"No, I mean it's time for us to talk to Albert, I think he knows a lot of things we don't know, maybe, he's the only one who knows what's going on at school right now."

"Then we'd better hurry before he's attacked," muttered Ron, leaving Hagrid's hunting lodge with Harry, leaving behind scratching his teeth.
