Chapter 89 Hey hey hey
"Sorry, Albus, I didn't expect them to do something so rude."
In the principal's office of Hogwarts, Fudge played with his top hat in his hand, "I told them before, but you also know that the Striker has been busy for several months because of the matter of the Winged Demon, so Sometimes it’s inevitable to be a little impulsive.”
"I understand what you mean, Cornelius." Dumbledore said calmly: "But I believe Hagrid, there will never be a crouching demon in his place."
“Yes, I actually believe in Hagrid myself.”
Fudge turned his head away, not looking into Dumbledore's eyes. "But you have to understand me. He has a criminal record, and we received a report, so the Ministry of Magic must investigate - this is also for the safety of the students."
“So I didn’t stop you from investigating Hagrid, and even Minerva only came forward when you were planning to take Hagrid away by force.”
Dumbledore crossed his hands, put his fingers on his chin, and said calmly: "I can assure you, whether now or in the future, you can bring witnesses to Hogwarts at any time to identify Hagrid. We have a witness here. A good Potions Master can easily tell if he is lying.
If you can't get away, you can also write a letter and I will personally take Hagrid to the Ministry of Magic to confront him. "
"There is no need, Albus." Fudge said unnaturally: "I completely trust you, and the investigation of Hagrid has ended.
There was no trace of the presence of the crocodile in his room, that much was beyond a doubt. "
"Thank you for your trust, Cornelius." Dumbledore said gently: "I didn't expect you to come to Hogwarts in person for this matter."
"Oh, it's nothing, Albus." Fudge took a sip of black tea and said: "This was our mistake in the first place, and I should have come. I just hope Minerva won't be too angry.
But speaking of the Curling-winged Demon, I suddenly remembered something. "
"Oh?" Dumbledore raised his eyelids slightly, showing a very interested look.
"Is such that."
Fudge adjusted his collar unconsciously and said: "Recently, some people in the Ministry of Magic have been using the incident of the Winged Demon to discredit me, saying that my efficiency is too low.
And they also think that my decision to return those magical animals was wrong, and that Newt and Chris should not have been transferred away for such a long time.
Even the Ministry of Magic in other countries wrote to me, saying that I should not let Newt go to their country. "
"But Albus, I just want to express my concern about this matter. My intentions are good."
“I completely understand how you feel.” Dumbledore nodded and said, “Sometimes, not being understood is a very distressing thing.”
"I knew you would understand me." Fudge took another sip of black tea. "The voice I hear most every day is all kinds of accusations. This makes it impossible for me to continue my normal work. If it wasn't like this , I will definitely write to you in advance when Striker comes to Hogwarts."
Dumbledore's eyes flickered and he stared at Fudge without saying a word.
“If it were you,” Fudge asked casually, “How would you solve this kind of trouble...”
…
No one knows what Fudge and Dumbledore said in the principal's office, but many people saw him leaving Hogwarts with a straight face.
Obviously, he didn't seem very satisfied with the conversation.
After Fudge left, Hagrid found Professor Oren with a large barrel of single malt whiskey, had a good drink with him, and gave him a large bag of rock biscuits as a thank you gift to thank him for speaking up.
This also led to the fact that in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class the next day, Kyle always felt that Professor Oren was a little leaky when he spoke.
“I’m trying a new spell.”
Professor Oren explained: "It's just that there was something wrong in the process and I suffered some minor injuries. It doesn't matter." How should I put it, Kyle is still very curious. What kind of magic spell can actually break the teeth? .
Eliminate your lunch curse?
Also during the Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall's behavior was a bit confusing.
She first hit Kyle with her wand for no apparent reason while checking her homework, and then asked a very simple question.
After Kyle answered correctly, she gave Hufflepuff a full twenty points for the first time.
This made the other little wizards very excited. They thought that Professor McGonagall had been stimulated by something and wanted to support a college to compete with Slytherin for the House Cup.
But they soon realized that they had thought too much.
Professor McGonagall is still the same Professor McGonagall, serious and fair, and has no preference for any school.
This kind of large extra points only happened once, and when she was in the Transfiguration class in the third year, she even deducted ten points from Hufflepuff because of homework problems.
The reason for this is probably only known to Kyle.
When he was shouting among the young wizards, he noticed that Professor McGonagall had glanced at him several times, intentionally or unintentionally.
Although Kyle deliberately changed his voice, he could only hide it from the people at the Ministry of Magic and the young wizards around him.
Professor McGonagall is not that easy to fool.
However, judging from her actions, Professor McGonagall did not seem to intend to pursue this matter.
In addition, Kyle planted the roots of the Devil's Net in the Room of Requirement, right next to the Moon-Crazy Beast's cave, in a place completely out of reach of sunlight.
After two weeks of careful care, the originally small root had turned into a new devil's net, and even finger-thick tendrils had grown.
Kyle just poked the tendrils lightly, and they immediately wrapped around Kyle's wrist.
Since the tendrils are still too young and not very strong, it feels like being massaged when being wrapped around them, which is quite comfortable.
Kyle played with the devil's net as a toy for a while before letting it go.
The Yue Chi Beast next to him has been completely accustomed to the environment here, and sleeps very peacefully in their respective caves.
The growth of Bai Xian and Rue Xiang is also pretty good. If they are just used as food rations, they will basically be enough for the Moon Chi Beast to eat for several months.
However, recently Kyle has been thinking about improving their food and preparing to get some Barbo tubers.
A whole tuber of babo, mixed with leaves of white flowers, rue and other plants, mashed, and then rolled into small balls. This is the favorite food of the moon-crazy beast.
However, there is no place to buy Bobo tubers in Hogsmeade, and there is no opportunity to buy them in the school greenhouse. Kyle can only wait until the holidays before going to Diagon Alley... to Newt's Nashun.
The biting cabbage has almost entered the mature stage, and the row of teeth is as sharp as a razor.
Kyle found a stone and threw it over.
The hard bluestone is like a chickpea in the mouth of the cabbage, making a crunching sound when chewed.
Kyle is now looking forward to Devil's Net growing up. When it does, it controls and deals damage with Biting Cabbage, and that scene...
Hehehehe.
