Harry Potter Reborn

Ministry of Magic, Minister's Office on the First Floor.

There were two people in the room, one was Dumbledore and the other was the Minister of Magic.

The Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, was short, chubby, stocky, with messy gray hair. He had an anxious look on his face. He was wearing very strange clothes: a pinstriped suit, a bright red tie,

A long black cloak, purple pointed boots, and a dark green top hat on his head. Such a mix and match is very problematic in terms of aesthetics and taste.

After reading the letter, he said to Professor Dumbledore with an unnatural expression: "Albus, it seems we have to arrest Hagrid."

"What happened again?" Dumbledore asked.

"This is a letter from Professor McGonagall. She said that another student was murdered in the school. Coincidentally, the student was from the Weasley family."

Dumbledore said: "That kid Ron?" He just thought he should be someone closer to Harry.

Fudge was very worried: "Yes, she also said that she had already written to inform Ron's parents. She was probably rushing to school. Think about how uncomfortable Mrs. Weasley must be. Within a few days, she lost everything.

Two children.”

Dumbledore emphasized: "Cornelly, those students are not dead, they are just petrified."

"Okay, petrified, but do you think the media and the Ministry of Magic in other countries will think so? They will only scaremonger, saying that Hogwarts hides huge dangers and many students have lost their lives." Fudge felt a headache.

"Before, you repeatedly assured me that Hagrid could never be the murderer, so I did not arrest Hagrid immediately. But now another incident has occurred, and the Ministry of Magic must take action." Fudge said firmly. At this time, he

On the contrary, he is more timid and courageous than usual.

Dumbledore was a little angry. He had always known Fudge very well. He was timid and had no independent opinions. He just wanted to maintain his so-called stability. He just wanted to secure his position as minister. In summary, he wanted to have the rights of the Minister of Magic.

, and I don’t want to take on the responsibilities of a minister.

He suppressed his anger: "There is no evidence that Hagrid is related to this matter."

Fudge hesitated and said, "But fifty years ago, he had a criminal record, didn't he?"

"I've said it before, even when the Chamber of Secrets was opened fifty years ago, we couldn't be sure that it was Hagrid who did it, but someone else!"

Fudge was also a little impatient, but he didn't dare to get angry at Dumbledore. He said angrily: "Then you should look at it from my perspective. I have to do something."

Yes, he has to do something. Seeing that this matter is about to become a hot spot of international attention, if he, the dignified British Minister of Magic, does nothing, how will the world and the public think of him, incompetent?

Public opinion satisfaction is an important indicator. If British wizards think that their ministers are incompetent and have not played a role, they can vote their ministers out at any time.

At this time, if the "culprit" is caught, it will give everyone a good explanation. What? No evidence? When Sirius Black killed James and his wife, there was no evidence. He was imprisoned in Azkaban.

.

If the real culprit is caught later, it would be nice to come forward and apologize. Not many people will keep an eye on this matter.

Fudge and Dumbledore looked at each other, expressing their determination, but they were still defeated in Dumbledore's blue eyes.

Dumbledore sighed: "Okay, I agree, but Hagrid cannot be imprisoned in Azkaban. He was only summoned by the Ministry of Magic as a suspect."

Fudge wanted to bargain with Dumbledore, but when he saw Dumbledore's cold eyes, he just kept silent.

Fudge also asked two Aurors to follow him, he said, to prevent the suspect from resisting and escaping.

Dumbledore remained silent, and the two Aurors cursed that Dumbledore was following you, so how could any wizard escape?

…

After Riddle died, Ron's devoured life came back.

He opened his eyes. Although his body was stiff and he had an uncomfortable headache, his mind was very clear, as if he had woken up from a nightmare. A few months ago, he had entered a state of chaos and blur, and often couldn't remember what he had done.

, unable to distinguish between reality and dreams.

The memory of when Riddle controlled him slowly became clear in Ron's mind. It turned out that I was the one who petrified Mrs. Norris, I was the one who wrote the words on the wall, I was the one who killed Hagrid's chicken, and

I also awakened that terrifying monster, and finally walked to this secret room by myself.

He was almost desperate, but he suddenly realized, where is this place? Is he dead? Is this the world after death? But isn't this the stone statue of Slytherin in the Chamber of Secrets?

He rolled his eyes and finally saw a dark shadow beside him, that was Harry Potter.

Ron's head turned to mush again, what on earth happened.

Harry glanced at him and said, "You're awake, let's go back."

Harry grabbed his arm, the space changed, and they arrived at a familiar place. This was Madam Pomfrey's territory, the school hospital.

There was still a look of horror on Ron's face, because when he left the dark place, he saw a huge python standing upright with its huge flat head looking at him.

That terrifying basilisk is not dead yet.

He stammered to Harry and danced.

But Harry disappeared directly. After taking Ron to the school hospital, he went to Hagrid's hut.

Tonight, the stars are shining brightly.

Hagrid's window reflected the light, and the wooden door was opened. Hagrid's hut was very small, with no place to stand, and could not accommodate so many people, so two Aurors stood guard at the door.

A few dozen meters away from Hagrid's hut, Hagrid's loud voice was heard, and the sound almost shook the house.

"I didn't, I didn't hurt those children."

"However, some necessary interrogations are indispensable. I promised not to send you to Azkaban, and I have already given in a lot." Fudge took off his hat and turned it in his hand.

"Professor Dumbledore..." Hagrid looked at Dumbledore pleadingly. Although he was as tall as a giant, he looked like a wronged child.

Dumbledore sighed and was about to speak.

Suddenly a childish but powerful voice came from outside the door: "No need, the person who opened the secret room is dead, and no one will be hurt anymore."

The two Aurors at the door were shocked because the speaker walked up to them and they discovered his trace.

They held their wands vigilantly, and waited until the person in the shadow walked out, and then they relaxed after seeing the appearance of the person clearly. Who wouldn't recognize Harry Potter?

Harry played the video, and Fudge, Hagrid, and Dumbledore put their heads together and looked at the picture on the phone in surprise.

The video was not long and it finished quickly. Fudge opened his mouth and said, "What kind of magic is this?"

Harry said: "Let's think of it as magic. The important thing is the content. This can explain who the murderer is who opened the Chamber of Secrets. It can also prove that it was not Hagrid who opened the Chamber of Secrets fifty years ago, so the punishment that prohibits him from using the wand can be abolished."

"

Fudge still couldn't believe that it was solved in such an inexplicable way. His worst plan was that his position as minister would be shaken.

Dumbledore said: "Cornelly, leave this matter to me. I will explain this matter to the International Association of Magicians. Riddle-Voldemort's identity when he was young. Those people are very...

Clearly, this image can serve as a warning to them."

Fudge heard Voldemort's name and coughed.

He said: "That's best."

Finally, Dumbledore and Fudge said they would go back to him to discuss how to explain in the Daily Prophet that the matter had been resolved.

Fudge left with the two Aurors satisfied.

Dumbledore smiled and said: "What I'm more curious about is how you defeated Riddle."

"First this, then that, and then he died."
