The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

v3 Chapter 168: Dumbledore's mistake

In just six years, Dumbledore's reputation has changed from a saint who can save the world to an old fool. This is by no means what a newspaper, the Daily Prophet, can do. Moreover, Dumbledore's age of one hundred years old is indeed a long life in the non-magic world, but there has been a precedent in the magic world before. The twentieth minister of the Ministry of Magic, Faris Spavin, was 109 years old when he became the Minister of Magic. up! Old age is not a solid excuse in the wizarding world.

But why did everyone believe it?

The change in Fudge’s attitude stems from the fact that Dumbledore’s performance in the two incidents was not strong enough, which suddenly made Fudge feel that “Dumbledore is nothing special.” The tiger’s skin was punctured, and it was difficult to respect him. Woke up. When Fudge was at his most arrogant, he even thought that he could capture Dumbledore at Hogwarts with a few Aurors - his mind was simply broken.

Coincidentally, the two events that damaged Dumbledore's reputation were both related to Hagrid. In the second year, the Chamber of Secrets was reopened, and Dumbledore was unable to solve the Chamber of Secrets incident, making the saying that Hogwarts is the safest place in the wizarding world a joke—what happened in the next few years completely changed this sentence. became a meme.

Hogwarts is the safest place in the wizarding world, and trolls and basilisks roam there. Werewolves and Death Eaters give lectures directly here. The Defense Against the Dark Arts professors here change every year, and even the most tragic place after World War II The Wizarding Wars broke out here too...

When Hagrid was suspected by the Ministry of Magic, Dumbledore failed to protect him and could only send him to Azkaban for a few months in prison. This is nothing, after all, Dumbledore is a white wizard and must abide by the law, but when the truth comes out and Hagrid clears his grievances, what did Dumbledore do? He didn't do anything but restore Hagrid's reputation, and he didn't seek some compensation - among other things, at least some Galleons!

Don't say that Hagrid is an invisible local tycoon, not short of money, this is a matter of attitude. Hagrid's behavior and Dumbledore's usual protection of him both show one thing: Hagrid is Dumbledore's man. But once something happened, Dumbledore could only express his objection without pain, and could not help in any real way. Hagrid would still go to jail. Even if he was rehabilitated afterwards, he could not seek compensation.

Is the identity of the co-author of this "own person" still valid? I am your eldest brother on weekdays, but I am not familiar with you when something happens.

Even if Dumbledore made a statement and locked Hagrid in Hogwarts? Filch's office can be converted into a cell! Professor Snape can also contribute his own dungeons. No matter how cold the dungeon is, the environment is better than Azkaban.

What's even more outrageous is that Dumbledore can clear up the identity of the suspect, Hagrid, with just one sentence: Voldemort's name was Tom Riddle when he was a student at Hogwarts. As long as such a fact is revealed, the charges against Hagrid can be dismissed directly.

Why? Because it was Tom Riddle who exposed Hagrid! Later this Riddle became Voldemort, so can his report still be counted? Shouldn't it be the heinous demon king who has been bullying honest classmates since school days, causing them to suffer innocent injustice?

Things that can be solved with just a little work, if you insist on procrastinating, Hagrid will be wronged for decades.

Tom felt sorry for it! Dumbledore's move was inappropriate.

After the Chamber of Secrets incident in the second grade and the Hippogriff incident in the third grade directly led to the real Voldemort's comeback, Dumbledore was not Fudge's opponent in the duel of public opinion, and he was hacked for a school year along with Harry. Get out of Hogwarts...

These are all related to the weakness he has shown over the years. But it won't be like this now, someone wants to make Dumbledore "hard".

Tom couldn't accept Dumbledore's prestige being undermined even a little bit. The current situation is much stronger than in history - Fudge is defeated! Burns, with Dumbledore's support, had Fudge crushed - whatever the truth, as long as it seemed so to others, it was so.

As long as Dumbledore wins the duel with the pure-blood family, this victory can be consolidated.

So Tom decided to send Ms. Burns an email to let her know what was going on. Of course, Tom was willing to believe that Minister Burns was just being oblivious, allowing Lucius Malfoy to take advantage of the window. She can still perform well in the final trial in April! After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Burns must be able to make the correct penalty.

He has been busy working inside and out for so long during this time, why? Isn't it just to keep the Ministry of Magic from holding back Dumbledore at a critical moment? It is also time to let the pure-blood families know the strength of Dumbledore.

"Don't worry, Hagrid," Tom comforted Hagrid perfunctorily, "everything will be fine."

"Yeah," Hermione added, "You can still go to Professor Dumbledore! Does he have anything to say?"

Hagrid whimpered, "Professor Dumbledore has done too much for me, he's busy enough—"

Tom: Really? I don't believe it, in fact, the old man is quite free recently. He didn't have to worry about the dementors anymore, he didn't need to think about Sirius, and the succession of the Minister of Magic was settled. He was only busy with the matter that he had discussed with him before.

But he didn't say anything, just watched all this happen silently.

"Hagrid, you can't give up," Hermione looked at Hagrid seriously, "I remember I saw a Hippogriff case, and in that case, it was released. I'll check it out for you , Let’s see how the case went.”

Hagrid cried louder. Hermione looked at Tom beggingly.

"Maybe what he needs is a cup of hot drink~lightnovelpub.net~ Tom shrugged his shoulders, saying anything is useless to a person in emotional breakdown.

"Leave him alone, it's lunch time." Tom tugged on Hermione's sleeve, he didn't want to keep entangled with Hagrid anymore. After studying all morning, he was hungry and eager to eat.

Hagrid's matter couldn't be resolved by persuading him. The crux of the problem lay in the interference from outside the field. And strictly speaking, Hagrid was indeed at fault, and he and Malfoy should each share 50% of the responsibility for the accident.

Malfoy is very desperate, but Hagrid doesn't want to die? For the first time in class, he took a group of young wizards to see several hippogriffs that were not under control. The school board's evaluation of his recklessness was not bad at all.

"Tom!" Hermione glared at Tom, what he said was too heartless, didn't you see Hagrid being so sad?
