  Chapter 1027 Hagrid's Secret

   After strolling around the castle, the two returned to Hogsmeade's safe house. This kind of ghostly weather is not suitable for dating and walking outside at all. It is more comfortable to drink tea and chat at home.

  Isobel always likes to talk about the progress of her potion research, and sometimes she will talk about family affairs, talk about using the double-sided mirror to chat with friends, and occasionally help Albert sort out the information collected from the gray area.

   This is thanks to Dobby. The house elves have met many wizards who live in gray areas during their job hunting. As long as they are willing to spend a small amount of Galleons on maintenance, many wizards actually don't mind helping to collect information and earn some extra money.

   After all, among the wizards in the gray area, who is not short of money?

   "Master, here is a message, maybe you will be interested."

  Bit the house elf walked into the hall with the parchment and handed it to Albert respectfully.

   "Thank you Bit, I want to eat your paella tonight." Albert took the parchment and said to the house elf.

   "It's my pleasure!" the house-elf walked away happily.

   "What's the matter?" Isobel raised his head and asked.

   "Hagrid came back and was seriously injured. He bought a lot of fresh dragon meat on the black market." Albert threw the note into the fireplace and watched it burn to ashes.

   "Remember to come back early." Isobel gave Albert a hug, then kissed him on the cheek and asked, "Shall I ask Dobby to bring you some more oysters?"

   "Garlic Baked Oysters."

  Although Albert instinctively rejects raw food, the oysters born in the cold waters of the north are indeed delicious.

With the help of the house elves, Albert easily appeared outside the Hogwarts castle. The originally bustling Quidditch pitch had fallen into silence again. The students from the two colleges who were punished returned to their respective public rests. room.

  Albert took out his pocket watch to check the time, and walked quickly towards Hagrid's hunting lodge.

   "Your news is really well-informed, you came just after I came back."

  Hagrid brushed his teeth from scratching the door, opened the door and looked at the person standing outside, showing a smile as if he saw an old friend, but the smile seemed to pull the wound on his face, making his face twitch slightly.

"It seems that you haven't been doing very well recently, do you need me to help you treat it?" Albert looked up and down Hagrid's face that was about to turn into meat paste, bent down and scratched Fangfang's head to prevent it from jumping himself.

   "Don't worry, it's just a slight injury." Hagrid almost patted his chest and said that he was able to deal with the injury on his face. "I prepared some dragon meat, it has an analgesic effect."

"That's for you. If ordinary people dare to mess around like this, I dare say they will have to stay in the school hospital for ten days and a half months." Albert suppressed the teeth that were bouncing around him, and continued Say, "You look like you just got hit hard."

   "Cough, it fell." Hagrid pressed the dragon meat to his face, and the pain from the wound seemed to subside a little.

   "Do you think I look like a fool?" Albert raised his eyebrows and asked back.

   "Ahem, we failed." Hagrid changed the subject, seemingly unwilling to talk about his injuries. When recalling his mission, he looked a little disappointed, "I failed Dumbledore's expectations."

   "Just like I told you before the summer vacation, Professor Dumbledore never expected you to succeed." Albert comforted.

   "That's impossible." Hagrid argued loudly, "If it's what you said, what's the point of spending more than a month looking for the giant?"

"Even if the chance of success is not high, it is worth trying." Albert didn't look at Hagrid, but stroked his toothy dog's head, and said casually, "I will do it, although it may not be successful, But if you don’t do it, you’ll never succeed, and if you fail, it won’t get any worse.”

   This is Dumbledore.

   "Tell me briefly about your experience, I want to hear your story." Albert led the topic.

   "You know?" Hagrid raised his brows, but was soon relieved. After all, it was Albert, so it didn't seem strange to know.

   "Well, I guessed it."

   "I went to find the giant camp with Orim, and it took a lot of time to shake off the tail of the Ministry of Magic." Hagrid recalled the initial pleasant experience, and he got along very well with Orim.

  He continued to talk about some things after finding the giant. Dumbledore's good reputation is obviously useful to the giant, but...

   "You met the Death Eaters, and the Death Eaters easily persuaded the giants to side with them?"

   "Yes." Hagrid said regretfully, "We managed to convince the leaders of those giants, but the original giant leaders were killed by other giants on the second night, and all our efforts came to naught."

   "You don't have to blame yourself. In my opinion, failure is inevitable. Even if you succeed in persuading the giant leader, he will still die."

  Albert's words made Hagrid's eyes widen, and he couldn't help asking, "Why?"

"Giants themselves are very aggressive and violent and like to fight. They are driven to that kind of ghost place. It's normal to hate the wizard who drove them there. It's like... people hate wizards who go to You-Know-Who , I can’t wait to kill them all or put them in Azkaban. The proposal of the mysterious man and the death eaters is more in line with the needs of the giants. As long as they rely on the mysterious man, they can leave that ghostly place, and Professor Dumbledore does not Can't help them get out of that **** cage, you understand?"

"The Death Eaters easily persuaded werewolves and other dark creatures to join their team, because no one wants to live in a dark, smelly ditch." Albert looked at Hagrid with his mouth wide open, and brought the topic back to the topic: " I'm here to tell you what's going on at school."

   "What's going on in the school?" Hagrid was a little puzzled, he didn't understand why Albert came to remind him specially, did something happen in the school?

"The Ministry of Magic sent a deputy minister to Hogwarts to serve as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor." Albert explained: "Her name is Dolores Umbridge, and you can think that she was sent by Fudge to find Dumbledore." Professor Lido and Potter's troublesome nuisance."

   "Trouble with Dumbledore?" Hagrid asked, frowning.

"You should also know what happened at the end of last semester. Fudge and Professor Dumbledore had a falling out, so Fudge tried his best to discredit Professor Dumbledore and Potter in the "Daily Prophet". Their current relationship is not very good." Ai Burt briefly introduced the current situation to Hagrid, "Potter was attacked by dementors during the summer vacation, but he used magic to drive away the dementors and was formally tried by the Ministry of Magic. I participated in that trial at that time .”

"When I finish, you are asking." Albert stopped Hagrid from asking, and continued, "In order to drive away Professor Dumbledore and Potter, and completely control Hogwarts, the Ministry of Magic passed The so-called Education Order put Umbridge, Deputy Minister of Magic, as Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor, who is now Senior Inquisitor."

   "Fudge gave Umbridge a lot of power through the Education Order, and you could think of her as almost half a headmaster, except without the title of headmaster."

   "Not long ago, Umbridge investigated the professors in the school. Professor Trelawney has been retained for probation. By the way, you were the first professor Umbridge wanted to expel."

"Just now, the game between Gryffindor and Slytherin had just ended, and there was an unpleasant conflict between the two sides after the game. I guess Harry will be permanently suspended by Umbridge. That's probably the situation. .”

   "Harry has been permanently banned?" Hagrid felt incredible. In just a few months, Hogwarts has changed drastically.

"Yes." Albert nodded and said, "After the match, Gryffindor and Slytherin had a fight over quarrels, but Umbridge favored the Slytherin students, so it's normal to take the opportunity to trouble Harry I even suspect that this conflict has something to do with her."

  Hagrid opened his mouth, apparently unable to understand what was going on, and asked again: "That person still wants to fire me?"

"Because you are a half-blood giant and someone close to Professor Dumbledore, she intends to take you and give Professor Dumbledore a warning." Albert reminded: "I don't think it will take long before she will come to you , notice to review your coursework, and if your Protection of Magical Creatures course sucks, she'll find an excuse to expel you outright."

   "It's so evil, she still wants to investigate others?" Hagrid said incredulously, "How could Dumbledore allow such a person to mess around in Hogwarts?"

"Our Mr. Principal seems to think that there is no need to conflict with Fudge, so he chose to give in." Albert continued, "But our Mr. Minister went further and talked badly about Professor Dumbledore in the "Daily Prophet". It caused him to lose most of his titles and status, and now most wizards in the wizarding world believe that Professor Dumbledore suffers from Alzheimer's disease, and he will soon lose the position of principal."

   "What did you say?" Hagrid was very angry and stood up from his chair.

"Umbridge will drive away Professor Dumbledore." Albert reminded: "She has made a mess of the school now. I suggest you ask Potter about the specific situation. I think Potter and others should be very happy." I soon found that you were back, and then came to find you."

   "Then what should I do?" Hagrid pressed.

   "Prepare your review well, and wait until you get through this round." Albert took out his pocket watch and looked at the time and said, "I'm leaving Hagrid first, do you really not need my help with treatment?"

   "No! Thank you for coming to tell me this."

"I'll ask the house elf to bring some white freshness over. When your face is less swollen, break it up and apply it on your face. The wound will heal quickly." Albert stopped at the door, turned his head and added, "Um Richie will come after you sooner or later, don't let your guard down, and don't underestimate her cruelty."

Albert does have white meat essence, and those things are also very effective, but they can't withstand Hagrid's use. The effect of using fresh white meat may not be good, but the advantage is that there are enough quantities, and Hagrid will probably be injured often. There is no harm in ordering white fresh food.

   There may be another chapter later, or it may not be finished until tomorrow.
