The Plane Merchant of Hogwarts

Chapter 175 Lao Deng: I can’t bear this grievance

Rolf recently discovered that things were getting more and more wrong.

At first, only a few students fainted, but as time went by, more and more little wizards fell into the dreams spun by the Lord of Dreams.

In this situation, it is impossible for Rolf to rush directly to Dumbledore and tell him directly, "Old Deng, I have a solution, leave it to me!"

If that was the case, he could imagine the three-party trial from the Scamander family the next day.

But looking at the atmosphere in Hogwarts becoming more and more solemn, the professors' expressions became more and more gloomy, as if everyone was possessed by Snape...

"Come on, roll call begins now!" Professor McGonagall said seriously in class.

With the intermittent responses, Professor McGonagall was obviously not in a good mood, because the fewer and fewer responses meant that there was a new little wizard who could no longer continue the class.

"No! No! Professor Snape didn't come to class today!" At this time, a group of young wizards shouted in the corridor. They ran towards Dumbledore's office crying, all filled with fear. Extremely.

"Quiet!" Professor McGonagall walked out with a gloomy look, and then asked, "What's going on? Isn't Professor Snape here today?"

She tried her best to calm the restless emotions of the little wizards, and then coaxed them back to the Potions classroom to study. As for where is Professor Dumbledore?

"Hello, Minister Fudge, we meet again!" Dumbledore was sitting at his desk at this time, but it could still be seen from his haggard face that he had not had a good rest recently.

"Yes, Albus, but this incident was so bad that the Ministry of Magic had to come and investigate the situation." Minister Fudge just came out of the fireplace and said with a somewhat wandering look.

He was holding one hand up in front of his chest and the other hand was swinging up and down. There was also a protective shield around him, but it was obvious that he didn't know whether it would work, so he was very cautious.

After Professor Dumbledore saw his appearance, he snorted, and then said: "Are we going to force monsters like Dementors into Hogwarts again?

I have reason to believe that the dementors may have something to do with this large-scale sleeping incident! "

"But look, Albus," Fudge said uncomfortably, "the scope of this incident is really too wide. The Ministry of Magic must come forward to do something, and we have already contacted the school board... …”

At this moment, another person appeared in Dumbledore's principal's office. He walked out of the fireplace and dusted himself off.

He was wrapped tightly in a long black traveling cloak, with a cold, contented smile on his face.

"Oh, Fudge, are you here already?" He nodded with satisfaction, and then looked around the entire principal's office seriously.

"What do you want from me, Lucius?" Dumbledore tried hard to control his expression. He still spoke in a gentlemanly manner, but the anger was burning in his blue eyes.

"Things are terrible," Mr. Malfoy said lazily, taking out a long roll of parchment from his arms.

"The board of directors feels that you should be let go. This is the removal order. You will see that all twelve directors have signed it.

We feel that you may not have used your talents. At least until now, you have not come up with effective ways to save those sleeping children.

At this rate, there may not be any students left at Hogwarts, and we all know that would be a terrible loss for the school. "

"Oh, what, what did you say, Lucius?" Fudge was shocked after hearing this. Why was this different from what he imagined?

He continued with a slight panic, "Dumbledore is going to be deposed? No, no! We are absolutely unwilling now..."

"The appointment of the Headmaster... ah, no, the removal! The removal of the Headmaster is a matter for the Board of Directors to decide, Fudge," Mr. Malfoy said in a steady tone,

"Since Dumbledore failed to prevent this incident from happening, and I also heard about the strange amnesia before, then..."

"But, Lucius, if Dumbledore can't stop the spread of this strange disease..." Fudge immediately interrupted before Mr. Malfoy could finish his words. A thin layer of sweat began to appear on his upper lip.

"I mean, who else could stop it but Dumbledore?"

"We'll wait and see," Mr. Malfoy drawled slowly, with a wicked smile on his face, "but all twelve of us voted..."

"How many people did you threaten and blackmail before you forced them to agree, eh, Malfoy?" At this time, Professor McGonagall walked up the stairs and pointed at Mr. Malfoy, as if he wanted to say something else.

"My God, my God, you know that your bad temper will get you into trouble one day. Minerva, I have a piece of advice for you. You are pointing at one of the twelve school governors.

And after Dumbledore is dismissed, do you think you will be on your own as the vice principal? "Mr. Malfoy said leisurely, completely ignoring the skinny palm that suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Okay, Minerva!" Dumbledore stopped the furious Professor McGonagall, then turned to Mr. Malfoy and said:

"If the board wants me to leave, Lucius, of course I will give up my seat."

"But..." Fudge stammered and wanted to say something, but Professor McGonagall growled affectionately and excitedly: "No!"

Dumbledore's piercing blue eyes were always staring at Lucius's cold gray eyes, as if he wanted to see clearly into Mr. Malfoy's heart.

"But!" Dumbledore said very slowly and clearly, so that everyone present could hear every word he said.

"Only when everyone here betrays me will I truly leave this school. You will also find that in Hogwarts, those who ask for help will always get it!"

After saying that, Dumbledore clapped his hands on top of his head, a burst of fire ignited, and he disappeared into the principal's office.

Professor McGonagall and Minister Fudge stared blankly at Dumbledore who had disappeared. Why are we leaving just now?They haven't reacted yet.

It was as if they heard what Professor Dumbledore was saying: I can't bear this grievance, I won't play with you anymore, I'm leaving!It's best not to come to me when you are in trouble!

At this time, Mr. Malfoy was obviously very proud that his plan had succeeded. If he didn't dare to remove Dumbledore from the position of principal, how could he implement his next plan?

ps: Regarding the matter of our Minister Fudge interceding for Dumbledore, I think many friends may be a little confused. Why does Fudge want to keep Dumbledore at one moment and arrange for Umbridge at the next?

In fact, there is no conflict in wanting to retain Dumbledore. First of all, we must know that Fudge is a clear egoist, and his priority is not the safety of his students.

What he wants is to ensure the safety of students and the tranquility of the school under Dumbledore's protection. Only in this way can it be shown that under his rule, the wizarding world is peaceful and stable, which is very important for his political career. There are benefits.

In "The Prisoner of Azkaban", Harry's out-of-school spellcasting was also due to egoism. Otherwise, Fudge would not lose a schizophrenic patient, passing by lightly this year, but will try Harry again next year?

Because in his opinion, Harry was the bait to seduce Sirius, and compared to the matter of capturing Little Cerulean Star, Harry's out-of-school spellcasting was obviously not a big deal.

And later, hundreds of dementors were arranged to strengthen security at the school. It seemed like they were protecting Harry, but in fact they prioritized his own interests. The first consideration was his political life.
