Chapter 120 Hagrid’s Disaster

"Thank you, miss!" Dobby bowed to Hermione and said with tears in his eyes: "No wizard has ever cared about our feelings like you! Never!"

"People always treat us house elves as pests, especially when He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is in power!"

"When we thought the dark days would never end, it was you who defeated the devil who must not even be named, allowing us house elves who were drowning in the darkness to see the glimmer of hope again. Although Dobby is now Life is not easy, but it has improved a lot compared to before the demon was defeated."

"So Dobby didn't want anything to happen to Harry Potter, even though Dobby threw Harry down the stairs."

"It's you. It turns out you threw me down from the dormitory building. Do you want to throw me to death?" Harry then realized that the person who threw him down from the dormitory building was not his enemy, but this person who seemed to care about him. His own house elf, but his care is really unacceptable, Harry said angrily.

"Dobby didn't mean to throw you to death, absolutely not!" Dobby defended in horror: "Dobby just wanted Harry Potter to get hurt and be sent home."

"Dobby hopes that Harry Potter will not encounter danger again, and Harry Potter's equally great friend," Dobby also expressed to Hermione: "Dobby hopes that you will return home and stop staying. Hogwarts. Now, at Hogwarts, terrible things will happen again, history will repeat itself, and the Chamber of Secrets will be opened again..."

Dobby suddenly froze, with a horrified expression on his face, and then reflexively grabbed a jar to punish himself.

"Bad Dobby, very bad Dobby!"

"Has the Chamber of Secrets been opened before? Who opened it?" Hermione asked eagerly, not expecting to learn such a secret from Dobby.

Harry also looked at Dobby expectantly, eager to know the answer.But what disappointed Harry and Hermione was that no matter how they pressed, Dobby did not tell them the answer. Instead, he directly apparated away under their pressure.

The next day, after Hermione was discharged from the hospital, she quickly found out that both Justin and Colin had an incident in the Hufflepuff dormitory.

"How did the murderer bring the basilisk in?"

"Now that we know that the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is a basilisk, why doesn't Professor Dumbledore get rid of it? Although the basilisk may have lived for thousands of years, its power is far inferior to that of Dumbledore?"

"Maybe Professor Dumbledore doesn't know where the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets is!"

Since Dumbledore didn't take action, they could only trace it on their own.She learned a new clue from Dobby. Since the secret room had been opened before, there must be a victim. Hermione immediately followed this clue.

As for the other students, they were all frightened by the new attack, even though Maple had already told them what the monster in the secret room was.

After learning about the existence of the basilisk, the students also understood that Nearly Headless Nick saved the lives of Colin and Justin. However, when they saw Nearly Headless Nick turning into a jet-black appearance, the students also felt horrified. Panic.The black magic of the basilisk's eyes can actually turn a dead ghost into this look. The students also deeply experienced the extremely powerful magic power of the basilisk's eyes.

Then, as if overnight, all the students in the school except Slytherin became short-sighted, and all of them wore glasses at the same time.

Students are literally scrambling to book seats on the Hogwarts Express, looking forward to returning home for Christmas.At that time, the parents of the students who came from a wizarding family, after receiving the children's letters, took their children home directly before the Christmas vacation began.

Harry could have proved his innocence this time, but Dobby threw him from the Gryffindor dormitory, leaving Harry with no alibi.Maple and Hermione told them that Harry was in the hospital, but they did not suppress the crowd headed by Ernie.They still insist that Harry, who knows Parseltongue, is the biggest suspect, and they are even more convinced when Maple tells them that the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is a basilisk.

The students with wizarding families left, and the remaining Muggle-born students avoided him in the corridors, for fear of offending him and asking him to go to the secret room to release the basilisk and then use Parseltongue to control the basilisk to attack them.

But the Weasley brothers found new joy in this matter. They ran in front of Harry in the corridor, walked with their heads high, and shouted: "Make way for the heir of Slytherin, the most evil one." The wizard has arrived!"

Percy was very dissatisfied with this behavior. He said coldly: "This is not something to be laughed at."

"Hey, get out of the way, Percy," said Fred, "Harry's pressed for time."

"Yes, he is going to the secret room to drink tea with his toothy servant." George laughed.

"Giggle, giggle!" Whenever the Weasley brothers joked about the Chamber of Secrets like this, Ginny always stood aside and giggled.Ginny, who had barely spoken to Harry after enrolling in school, missed spending time with Harry at home, so she was unwilling to miss the opportunity to be so close to Harry.Even though Maple surpassed Harry in school popularity many times, Ginny's obsession with Harry never changed.

Harry was happy with the Weasley brothers' antics because at least they thought the idea of ​​Harry being the heir of Slytherin was ridiculous, and Malfoy could be seen every time the Weasley brothers did these antics Harry's sullen face made Harry's mood even brighter.

Harry didn't know that when he was trapped in the distress of ridiculous rumors, something happened to Hagrid, whom he regarded as a family member.

Because Maple spread the news that the monster in the secret room was a basilisk, students wrote letters to their parents and quickly spread the news in the wizarding world.

Lucius Malfoy was also deeply surprised after receiving his son's letter, because he had never known the true identity of the monster in the Chamber of Secrets before.And after learning that the person who discovered this information was Maple, he once again became afraid of the name Maple.

But what Maple didn't expect was that the information he provided would give Lucius an excuse to attack in advance.

Lucius paid the Daily Prophet to publish the news about a thousand-year-old basilisk in Hogwarts, publicizing the matter and creating panic in the wizarding society.

Later, Lucius used the parents of Hogwarts students to create public opinion——

They cannot put their children in danger. Hogwarts must be responsible for the safety of their children. There is a thousand-year-old basilisk in Hogwarts. They cannot let their children attend class under such a dangerous illusion. Under the basilisk They cannot enroll children in school until this is resolved.

After the public opinion fermented, Lucius promptly contacted the school directors of Hogwarts to put pressure on Dumbledore——

If he can't solve the attack, then find a principal who can!

However, during the entire publicity process, key information such as the Chamber of Secrets and Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets was not mentioned at all. Moreover, Malfoy also joined forces with other pure-blood families to put pressure on the Daily Prophet and asked them not to publish it to Slytherin. Any reports that smear Letling's name.

This is really like the incident where Teacher Cui’s image was smeared but he was unable to restore his reputation through the media!

Dumbledore has tough shoulders, but there is a pig teammate in the Ministry of Magic who has soft shoulders.Fudge, the Minister of Magic who was supported by Dumbledore, could not bear the pressure and brought people to Hogwarts to take Hagrid away.

Even though he knew that the monster in the secret room was a basilisk and that Hagrid could not control it at all, Fudge didn't care about the truth at all. He just wanted to give an explanation to the public as soon as possible, whether it was right or wrong.

But this so-called public is only a small number of people who can make their voices heard in the wizarding world. Ordinary wizards who cannot have influence in the wizarding world are the targets of representation.

Just like those shameless literati in the Ming Dynasty, they chanted slogans to plead for the people all day long, criticizing heaven and earth and criticizing the emperor. However, what they called the people was just the gentry class in the world. The real people were represented by them, and the real common people were among them. In his eyes, he is nothing more than a pariah.In this way, they still talk about "establishing a heart for heaven and earth, establishing a destiny for the people, carrying forward the unique knowledge for the saints, and creating peace for all generations" all day long, without being ashamed. They really ruined Zhang Hengqu's good words.

Yu Qian and Wang Yangming, who really did this, were treated badly by them. Just like this, they still have the nerve to pride themselves on justice. They really don't deserve it!They have never been the true representatives and backbone of this great nation!

"It's terrible, Hagrid. It's very terrible. You've gone too far. The Ministry of Magic must take action." Fudge said in a clear and fast tone.

"I didn't," Hagrid looked at Dumbledore pleadingly. "You know I didn't, Professor Dumbledore!"

"I hope you understand, Connelly, I completely trust Hagrid." Dumbledore said with a frown to Fudge. Only then did Dumbledore seem to really see Fudge's character.

"But you see, Albus," Fudge said uncomfortably, "Hagrid's criminal record is not good for him. The Ministry of Magic has to take some measures, and we have already contacted the school board."

"But Cornelius, I still have to tell you that taking Hagrid away will not help at all." Dumbledore said, and Fudge felt the anger hidden in Dumbledore's calm expression.

"Take a look at it from my perspective," Fudge played with his top hat in his hand, not daring to look at Dumbledore. Under Dumbledore's anger, he deeply felt the pressure from Dumbledore, but Fudge still had the courage to continue speaking, but Fudge's words were soft, and even his subordinates felt his weakness, "I'm under a lot of pressure. I have to do something. If it turns out it's not Hagrid, he still Will come back, not a word. But I have to take him away. Shouldn't I fulfill my duty."

"Take me away? Where? It can't be Azkaban, right?" Hagrid seemed to be afraid of this name, and he couldn't help but tremble when he mentioned it.
