At this time, the atmosphere in Dumbledore's office was getting more and more tense.
Dumbledore sat silently behind his desk, so calm that no one could tell what he was thinking. Not far behind him stood the pale and panic-stricken Professor Meg and the gloomy Snape, whose head was wrapped in bandages.
In front of the desk was a strange-looking man.
He was short, fat, and stocky, with messy gray hair and an anxious look on his face. His clothes were a strange hodgepodge: a pinstriped suit, a bright red tie, a long black cloak, and purple pointed boots.
He was Cornelius, the Minister of the Ministry of Magic. Opposite him, Hagrid sat in a large, custom-made chair, twisting his body uneasily. He was wiping his tears with his large handkerchief, muttering the names of Elwyn, Harry, and Ron from time to time.
In the room, Lady Weasley, who was sitting in front of the fire, was also sobbing softly. Mr. Weasley was comforting her in a low voice. Ever since the two learned that Ron had been taken away, they had immediately rushed over, but they did not expect the situation to be so bad.
The only one who was happy was Lucius Malfoy, who was sitting in the corner. He was wrapped tightly in a black traveling cloak and looked at the others with satisfaction, a cold, satisfied smile on his face.
Next to him was a strange creature covered in bandages, trembling and twitching silently. It was Dobby, the house-elf. He looked distressed by Harry's disappearance, his face filled with despair and helplessness.
"I'm sorry, Albus!" Cornelius said in a crisp and quick tone. "The current situation is very bad. A snake monster broke into the castle, openly attacked, and took away three students. If we count the three previous attacks, this is too much. The Ministry of Magic must take action!"
"Cornelius, I hope you understand that taking Hagrid away is of no use. He did not open the secret room. He is sitting among us now," Dumbledore said softly.
"But look, Albus!" Cornelius said unnaturally. "Hagrid's criminal record is not good for him. The Ministry of Magic has to take some measures. We have already contacted the school board."
"Please allow me to interrupt, Minister!" Lucius Malfoy coughed softly. "The board not only agreed to the Ministry of Magic 'arrest request, but in fact, Dumbledore, the board also feels that you should be dismissed. This is the dismissal order. You will see that all twelve directors have signed it. It is widely believed that at this rate, there will be no students left in Hogwarts before the end of the semester. This is a terrible thing. "
"You want to drive Dumbledore away? This is crazy!" Mr. Weasley stood up and shouted. "Don't think I don't know. You must be playing tricks behind the scenes, Malfoy!"
"Very bad slander, Weasley! It's hard to imagine that an official from the Ministry of Magic would be so lacking in self-restraint. But considering the ridiculous things you have done before, it doesn't seem strange. " Lucius turned his head and chuckled. "Minister, if I were you, I would definitely drive this guy out of the Ministry of Magic."
"Dear Lucius!" Connelly played with his hat absentmindedly. "I don't think this is the time to pursue these things. Arthur's son was brought into the secret chamber, and he was just a little agitated. And I don't think it's a good idea to dismiss Dumbledore. "
"This is an internal matter of Hogwarts. All twelve of us directors voted!" Lucius blinked proudly.
"Malfoy, how many people did you threaten and blackmail to force them to agree!" Hagrid stood up abruptly, his fluffy, black head rubbing against the ceiling. "You can't dismiss Dumbledore. If you really do this, Hogwarts will have no way out!"
"Oh my god, oh my god, your bad temper will get you into trouble one day, Hagrid!" Malfoy sneered. "I want to give you a piece of advice. Don't shout at the Azkaban guards like this. They won't like it. Is that right, Minister? "
"Yes, that's right. What I mean is, what we need to do now is to find out the truth as soon as possible." Foggy nodded. "Hagrid, I hope you'll come with us."
"If your so-called finding out the truth is to capture the innocent …"
"Look at it from my point of view, Mileva!" Foggy said nervously. "I'm under a lot of pressure. I have to do something. If we find out that it's not Hagrid, he'll come back without a word. "
"Don't worry, I think we'll know the whole truth soon!" Dumbledore suddenly sensed something. He turned to Professor Meg and said, "Mileva, can you please go out and welcome Mr. Mason, Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, and Miss Granger for me?"
"What?!" Everyone looked at Dumbledore in surprise. Those children had actually returned from the secret chamber!
Twenty minutes ago, the few of them brought Lockhart out of the secret room.
When no one was paying attention, Elwyn deliberately pulled out one of the snake monster's fangs. This thing was good stuff. The venom on it gave it amazing attack power.
With it, there was no need to worry about not being able to destroy the soul vessel in the future.
Then, they stepped over the motionless, coiled body of the snake monster, passed through the dark, empty, and echoing room, and returned to the tunnel. With Fox's help, they flew through the long, dark pipes and returned to the girls' washroom on the third floor.
Elwyn had originally planned to go to the school hospital first, but Fox led them to Dumbledore's office.
Professor Meg had already received the news. She was waiting there in panic. When she saw Elwyn, Harry, Ron, and Hermione covered in mud and mucus, especially Elwyn's and Harry's robes that were stained with blood, she clutched her chest and sucked in huge mouthfuls of cold air.
A few seconds later, she sent Lockhart to the school hospital. Elwyn, Harry, Ron, and Hermione took the spiral staircase to the principal's office.
When the door opened, there was only silence.
"Ron!" Lady Weasley screamed and jumped up. Behind her was Mr. Weasley. The two of them stretched out their arms at the same time and walked over to hug Ron.
Behind them was Hagrid. He hugged Elwyn, Harry, and Hermione tightly.
Elwyn looked past him and quickly scanned the room.
