Aphasia at Hogwarts

"Basilisk!" Harry screamed out, and Ron on the side had expected it, and covered Harry's mouth so that no one else noticed.

After Harry calmed down a bit, Ron let go of his hand.

"Did Hermione say that?" Harry asked quietly.

No wonder he was shocked. He had only seen creatures like basilisks in books before, and that was when Dumbledore held Valentine's Day activities before.

Basilisks were so rare that Harry once thought the creature didn't exist, just because the way it appeared was so bizarre.

Because it is said that it was hatched from a rooster's egg by a toad.

No matter how you think about it, it feels weird.

"Hermione said it, but before she could say anything more, she petrified again, and then I was brought back by Professor McGonagall." Ron said helplessly.

"It's a pity that we couldn't find a chance to ask Joan, otherwise, we could know more things." Harry said regretfully.

"Harry, tell me, is there a possibility?" Ron hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly, "You know, few people can raise something like a basilisk."

"You mean, Hagrid?" Harry understood Ron's words.

They had suspected Hagrid before, because Hagrid always had special feelings for these huge and dangerous creatures, and this time it was not impossible.

Also, having seen what happened fifty years ago with Tom's help, Harry was able to be sure that Hagrid once kept a monster in Hogwarts Castle.

It's just that he couldn't be sure whether it was a basilisk or not. The information didn't show the appearance of that monster.

"Yeah, maybe we should ask him, if at all, to explain what happened fifty years ago." Ron nodded.

Harry pondered. To be honest, he was very moved. As a Gryffindor, when encountering such a thing, it is almost impossible for you to ask him to really obediently wait for the matter to end in the lounge.

"You're right, Ron, we should talk to Hagrid," said Harry, nodding.

"Perhaps I should get out the Invisibility Cloak," Harry added, looking at Percy, who was sitting next to the Gryffindor exit, reading a book.

——

Lucius Malfoy was wearing a black traveling cloak and walking on the lawn of Hogwarts. He was indifferent to the surrounding scenery, and he never thought about taking the opportunity to visit his son in the castle. At this moment, he only had one goal in his eyes .

That dilapidated hut on the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

In his hand, he also held a long roll of parchment with the signatures of all the directors of the school board on it. He paid a lot of money to do it. To be honest, he even used some shady methods.

He didn't want to, but he had to.

Thinking of the letter sent to his home, Lucius' face was solemn, especially the signature at the end, which almost made him breathless.

He didn't know how far the Dark Lord had recovered, he only knew that he had to obey the Dark Lord's orders.

For the sake of his family, he had to.

Lucius walked to the hut and knocked heavily on the door. Before the people inside opened the door, he had already adjusted his state and turned into a nobleman again.

A cold, contented smile hung on Lucius' face as he strode into the cabin and spoke with a commanding air.

"I heard the principal is here."

In fact, as soon as he entered the house, he saw Dumbledore standing there, and of course he saw other people, the dumpy Minister of Magic Fudge, and the rude and rude big Hagrid.

From what he knew, Fudge had come to take the big guy away, to take him to Azkaban for a few days, maybe forever, which was good news.

"What are you doing here? Get out, get out of my house," said Hagrid angrily.

"Believe me, if it wasn't for some reasons, I wouldn't want to come to this place. It's not even as big as the bathroom in my house." Lucius Malfoy looked around with a sneer on his face.

"What's your business with me, Lucius?" Dumbledore said, his expression not very good.

Fudge's arrival was within Dumbledore's expectation, he was already mentally prepared and had done other things well, but the arrival of Lucius caught him unexpectedly.

At the same time, it also made him feel uneasy.

"I'm sorry, Dumbledore, you are an excellent educator, but I have to say, what happened this year was really terrible." Lucius said while taking out the roll of parchment.

"There have been too many attacks this year, so many that the board of directors doubted your ability. Of course, I personally choose to believe you, but they don't think so. Here are the signatures of twelve directors. I think, Maybe you need to leave Hogwarts for a while and take a good rest."

"Oh, no, why is that, Lucius." Before Dumbledore could reply, Fudge spoke first, and he seemed a little panicked.

"At this time, I don't think it's a good decision to transfer Dumbledore from the school. Besides him, is there anyone else capable of stopping the attack?"

"It's the board's decision. I don't think the Ministry of Magic is in charge of this place yet," Lucius said flatly.

Dumbledore stared into Lucius' cold gray eyes with his piercing blue eyes for a moment before he spoke slowly.

"If it's the board's decision, Lucius, of course I'll vacate my seat."

"It's just that I don't understand why you would do this. It doesn't do you any good, and I don't think the board has figured out who to replace me and deal with these attacks."

Fluster flashed in Lucius' eyes. Dumbledore's words were correct. The board of directors just signed the suspension order. As for who to replace Dumbledore, there was no conclusion at all.

After all, who can say that he can do better than Dumbledore, the greatest wizard in the world right now.

If he can't solve the attack, who can.

"This is something the board of directors needs to consider, and there is no need to tell you." Lucius could only speak with a strong tone.

"Of course, of course." Dumbledore sighed, he suddenly glanced at the corner of the room, and then said, "But when people in the school still need me, I will come back."

After speaking, under the gaze of several people, Dumbledore walked towards the door.

And Hagrid also took a deep breath, and said cautiously, "If someone wants to find something, they just need to follow the spider and they will be able to find the right direction."

Lucius and Fudge looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what he was talking about.

But Hagrid didn't care. He put on his moleskin coat and was about to leave with Fudge, but before leaving, he said, "I need someone to feed my teeth while I'm away."

Afterwards, Hagrid also walked out. Although Lucius and Fudge were puzzled, they didn't think too much about it and followed suit.

The door slammed shut, and Hagrid's cabin fell into silence.

After a while, in the corner, Ron tore off the invisibility cloak, revealing him and Harry, both of whom looked flustered.

Because, they knew, Dumbledore, the patron saint of the school, was gone.
