Chapter 481 Please bear this responsibility carefully
Minister of Magic Fudge personally led a team to conduct a surprise inspection, but still could not find any trace of the dragon.
A mere gamekeeper could easily fool everyone into thinking they were monkeys.
Neither Quirrell nor Malfoy could believe this result. They were convinced that Hagrid had found some way to smuggle the dragon to a safe place and hide it.
However, the dragon-raising incident was inexplicable from beginning to end.
Others didn’t even understand what happened and the matter ended like this?
You know, when the Ministry of Magic conducts surprise inspections, they basically catch him right away, and it turns out that Hagrid was actually innocent.
He never raised a dragon from beginning to end.
Who is deliberately slandering Hagrid?
Everyone soon knew that the man was Draco Malfoy, and the unfortunate man soon gained the reputation of deliberately slandering the school's gamekeeper.
As for, who sent the anonymous letter to the Minister of Magic?
Snape, of course.
From beginning to end, Malfoy only told Snape this matter.
If he doesn’t take the blame, who will?
To this end, Dumbledore and Snape discussed the matter in the principal's office.
"He shouldn't have lied, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to tell." Snape was also very depressed, and he didn't expect that this blame would be placed on him inexplicably.
"This is strange." Dumbledore murmured, "The Minister of Magic came over for a surprise inspection without warning. If Hagrid really raised a dragon, it would be impossible to hide it."
"I don't think this is just a prank." Snape shook his head. "I believe Draco Malfoy didn't dare to do that. Lucius told me that he also received a similar letter, and the Minister of Magic would appear in the Hall. A large part of Gwartz's reasons are related to Lucius."
“It seems that someone arranged it deliberately.”
"Do you think someone put a spell on Draco to make him..." Snape immediately locked onto the target.
I have tried every possible means to stop Quirrell, so the other party takes this opportunity to retaliate against me?
"It seems that Quirrell can't bear it anymore." Dumbledore said softly, "That's right, he has been enduring it for a long time."
“What do you think Quirrell’s purpose was, that dog?”
Snape guessed wrong. It should be said that he only guessed the second level, and the real answer lies on the fourth level.
This so-called elaborate planning was actually just a simple attempt by Albert.
If Quirrell follows his plan, Albert will make money.
If not, Albert is not at a loss.
However, Albert never expected that the plan would be more successful than originally expected. He gave Quirrell a plan that seemed very reliable.
Unexpectedly, Quirrell actually implemented it. What shocked Albert was that Quirrell himself had squeezed out the last remaining value of himself, as well as the value of the dragon egg incident.
As the big boss and beneficiary behind all this, Albert's mood is quite complicated.
Chillo is such a good man!
Not only will you be given galleons and quests, but you will also be given experience.
Died, which is a pity.
From now on, where can I find such good people?
After a series of tricks by Quirrell, Albert not only successfully obtained the new task of "rescuing Norbert", but also obtained the task of "please bear this responsibility".
This task requires three people to take the blame for others inexplicably.
However, the most hilarious thing about this task is that when Albert found it on the task list, the task had already been completed.
The rewards are also good, 3000 experience, 1 skill point, and the title of "The Man Behind the Scenes".
…
Actually, the cause of all this started a few days ago.
After Quirrell got the proposal to remove the magic mirror from the letter, he buried another two hundred galleons at the designated place through the message at the bottom of the letter in exchange for a way to remove Dumbledore.
So Albert sent another letter to Quirrell and gave him this trick.
On the day he received the letter, Quirrell happened to pass by the corner and heard the conversation between Harry, Ron and Hermione.
It is illegal to keep a dragon, and a three-headed dog is enough for Hagrid to go to the Ministry of Magic for trial.
When Dumbledore was on the jury, he happened to find an opportunity to take action.
As for why it suddenly failed, no matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with selling any news.
On the day that the Daily Prophet and personnel from the Ministry of Magic appeared at Hogwarts, Quirrell and Malfoy were in a very good mood.
No matter how they looked at it, they didn’t think that Hagrid could hide the little dragon during a surprise inspection without warning.
It’s impossible to hide it!
However, they don't seem to know that there is something in the magic world called a time turner.
After Albert discovered that the Ministry of Magic had appeared at Hogwarts early in the morning, he immediately used the time turner to go back a few hours before and helped Hagrid hide Norbert the Fire Dragon.
The surprise inspection by the Ministry of Magic was naturally in vain, even if the Minister of Magic Fudge personally led the team, it would be useless.
This incident has undergone a 180-degree reversal.
Even Hagrid’s conversation methods and techniques for dealing with Ministry of Magic staff were taught by Albert on the spot.
You say I raise a dragon illegally?
I don’t know, I don’t have it, you have to provide evidence.
Without evidence, it is slander.
Of course, even if the Ministry of Magic turned Hagrid's hut upside down, they wouldn't be able to produce evidence.
So, a few days after Hagrid righteously stated that keeping dragons was illegal, when Harry, Ron and Hermione went to find Hagrid again, they found that the dragon was still there and had become bigger.
“Hagrid, why is it still here?” Harry looked at Norbert who was eating the dead rat in surprise, and looked at Hagrid in disbelief.
Didn’t you say that raising dragons is illegal?
Under the questioning of the three Harrys, Hagrid had to tell him about the last time Albert helped him successfully pass the surprise inspection.
“He is really amazing.” All three of them felt that Albert was an incredible guy.
"By the way, Hagrid, I just saw Malfoy, and he seemed very unwilling to do so." Harry reminded, "You have to be careful and don't let other people know."
"I have put Fang outside the house. If anyone comes near here, I will know." Hagrid said absently.
He even sealed the curtains in the room, but there was no good solution.
“What did Albert say?” Hermione asked cautiously.
“He asked me to confess to the principal and then send the dragon away.” Hagrid bit his lip and said reluctantly, “I know I can’t keep it forever, but I can’t just abandon it.”
"Albert is right, Principal Dumbledore should find someone to adopt the dragon." Hermione comforted.
"Perhaps, I have a good idea!" Ron suddenly said.
“What’s a good idea?”
Harry, Hermione and Hagrid all turned to look at Ron.
“Remember what I told you, my second brother Charlie is studying dragons in Romania. We can write to Charlie and he might be happy to help take care of it. I think this should be the best way at the moment.”
“That’s great, Ron!” Harry said excitedly. They could finally get rid of the dragon.
"How about it, Hagrid?" Hermione looked at Hagrid nervously, fearing that he would disagree.
In the end, Hagrid agreed, because this was the best way at present, and he had an agreement with Albert. If he couldn't solve it, Albert would tell the principal about it. Hagrid really didn't want to give it to Deng Xiaoping. Bullydo is causing trouble.
Ron sent an owl to ask Charlie if he would adopt a dragon.
In the next few days, Malfoy was not determined to give up. He took a camera and ran near the hunting lodge whenever he could, preparing to take pictures of the little dragon to prove that he was not lying at all.
As for Quirrell, after Xiaolong’s plan failed, he also received new compensation. Albert sent him a brand new plan.
This time, Quirrell tore up the plan directly. He did not plan to follow Albert's plan, but planned to use his own preliminary plan.
Quirrell is going to use the Imperius Curse to control Fudge, and asks Fudge to chat with Dumbledore and ask him for help.
Anyway, everyone knows that Fudge does this all the time.
Albert didn't know anything about this, and even if he did, he wouldn't care. Hagrid told him that Ron had proposed asking Charlie to help adopt Norbert.
In the dark, it seems as if there are hands that reset history to its original trajectory.
And who will be the owner of these hands?
