Chapter 539

~4 min read 640 words

"Harry, where are you planning to go?"

Ron walked out of the common room and asked in a low voice.

Because a ghost happened to be floating past them.

"I'm planning to go find Hagrid!"

"Hagrid? Didn't Darren say he had no problems?"

Harry nodded, then shook his head and said: "Darren said it was the analysis result, Riddle should have thought wrong, he framed Hagrid.

But, have you ever thought, is it possible that Hagrid's pet has seen that snake?"

"You mean..."

"We'll go find Hagrid, let him ask his pet if it has seen that snake anywhere?"

Ron agreed.

Then they walked through the eerie corridor, preparing to leave the castle.

However, their journey was not very smooth.

Because the whole way was full of stern professors, and many ghosts, and even Peeves had joined the patrol team, although he was still constantly causing trouble, he didn't object.

"Look, even they are so agitated, because they know, Hogwarts will very likely close because of this incident.

Even Darren couldn't block the eyes of that Basilisk, others are even less likely.

I don't want Hogwarts to close, this means I must return to our aunt's house with Darren.

Although my aunt and the others have become quite good now, I still don't really like them, Hogwarts is my home!"

Harry said seriously.

Then they went out from the castle.

When they appeared in front of Hagrid's hut, what they saw was Hagrid's terrified gaze.

"How did you..."

Hagrid really wanted to ask how they had come over.

However, he suddenly pushed them into a corner and covered them with their Invisibility Cloak.

"Oh, Hagrid, I have to inform you of some sad news."

A short, fat man appeared outside Hagrid's door.

It was Minister Fudge.

He was still dressed like a kaleidoscope this time.

Every piece of clothing on his body had a different color.

Of course, his wizard hat was still green.

Following behind him was Lucius.

Harry and Ron also recognized him, he was Malfoy's father.

The expression on Lucius's face at this moment was filled with anger.

He looked at Hagrid with extreme indignation, then he revealed a mocking expression and said: "You didn't expect it, did you? What you did fifty years ago could still be dug up!"

Harry felt that if he looked at Lucius like this, he would still feel that what he said was quite righteous.

He seemed to really believe that it was Hagrid's doing.

And he spoke in a tone as if Hagrid had petrified his son.

He looked more righteous than Harry and the others.

"No, it wasn't me, I didn't do it..."

Hagrid said in a panic.

"You didn't? If you didn't do it, then who did? Do you think you can escape?

Why don't you confess quickly, how exactly did you open the Chamber of Secrets?"

Lucius said angrily.

Harry felt that the elder Malfoy's anger was also very real.

He couldn't even fake it.

"Enough, Lucius, I think this must be a misunderstanding!"

Fortunately, Dumbledore appeared.

He stood beside Hagrid, looking at Lucius seriously.

Harry noticed that Lucius Malfoy actually wanted to draw his wand for a moment.

But in the end, he resisted that impulse.

However, he still said angrily: "Dumbledore, you really should give an explanation.

In this school, so many attacks have occurred, if I were you, I would resign in disgrace!"

"How, how did it end up like this?"

Fudge watched Lucius and Dumbledore confronting each other.

He said in a hesitant voice.

But Harry discovered that he seemed to be about to laugh out loud.

"You can't drive Dumbledore away, if there is no Dumbledore, who else can resist those people?"

Hagrid roared angrily.

But Lucius was not afraid at all.

He took a piece of parchment out of his pocket.
