Chapter 145 Exploited Emotions
Chapter 145 Exploited Emotions
The relationship started, and more news broke out soon after.
The Chamber of Secrets was opened 50 years ago, and a series of attacks occurred in Hogwarts, and some people died as a result.
The victim's identity was discovered, and after her death she became the ghost of Moaning Myrtle in the castle's second-floor bathroom.
The identity of the murderer was also discovered, and he is now gamekeeper Hagrid.
A dead person and a living person, losing the peace of normal life at the same time, Weeping Myrtle was okay, as long as she got into the toilet, no one could bother her, but Hagrid couldn't.
"Damn Malfoy!" Harry and Ron returned to the lounge with bruises and bruises. They rubbed their noses and cursed: "I'll fuck him again next time we meet!"
This was the first time Harry had fought with Malfoy because of Hagrid. After the news became popular 50 years ago, it happened several times every two or three days.The rest of the students were filled with indignation at the beginning, but now they have become accustomed to it. Most of them looked up and continued to do their own things.
The same was true for DeWitt, but what Harry said next suddenly revealed something he had never thought about.
"Malfoy actually said he wanted to report Hagrid. How despicable. Just because Hagrid has a good relationship with me. Just wait, Dumbledore will definitely not let him drive Hagrid away."
The reason for Tom's hibernation was found. Apparently he had another plan after leaving DeWitt to use the basilisk to take revenge, but he was afraid. This fear was obviously not fear of DeWitt, because there was a person in Hogwarts. The old man who was feared by Voldemort at all times. When Dumbledore was at Hogwarts, Tom did not dare to carry out his plan, so he wanted to force Dumbledore away. The way to force him away was very simple, that is, to find Dumbledore. Mistakes and omissions, such as covering up a former murderer.
So according to DeWitt's original thinking, all he had to do was wait for Tom and the people controlled by Tom to expose the conspiracy.If he wants to speed up the process, he has to promote the exposure of Hagrid's experience 50 years ago. At this time, it no longer matters what Hagrid did. Parents who love their students will not tolerate a murderer in the school, even if it is suspected. No, not to mention it's not a suspicion - because Hagrid was indeed imprisoned in Azkaban and had his wand broken. This was the verdict of the wise officials of the Ministry of Magic.
Even if Harry asked Hagrid more than once, Hagrid would always hesitate and look confused; even if DeWitt asked, Hagrid would not say anything.The only thing Hagrid was sure of was that he did not open the secret room until DeWitt said the name Tom Riddle, causing Hagrid to say in a forbearing tone that contained anger: "Oh, that's him, the student union president at the time. …”
After knowing that he was keeping his words secret, Hagrid simply said nothing if he wanted to keep it secret. It was not until DeWitt left that he said sadly: "You... better come less, you have to stay with a murderer like me for so long. not good."
Just because Hagrid has a secret does not mean that he is a bad person. If DeWitt adds fuel to the fire for his own purposes, it is tantamount to hurting Hagrid. He cannot do this, and when he sees that Malfoy wants to do this, he has to stop him—— The solution was to contact Ms. Feyre and write a letter to Malfoy's parents.
But the Malfoy family cannot represent the wizarding world, but is more of an ordinary family.These ordinary families usually do not have evil intentions and cannot interfere in the decision-making of the Ministry of Magic like the big families. They can only express their voices in other ways.
Soon, an exclusive report written by journalist Rita Skeeter was published in the Daily Prophet. She identified Hagrid as a madman who raised monsters in Hogwarts, thereby criticizing Dumbledore's Prestige - Questioning the prestige of a big shot is also a flashpoint, turning into public pressure and exerting pressure on the Ministry of Magic.
It's hard to say whether the Ministry of Magic was happy to see such a scene. Fudge, then Minister of Magic, went to Hogwarts every two days and stayed in the principal's office for most of the day. He earnestly persuaded Dumbledore to expel Hagrid and maintain Hogwarts' reputation, but Dumbledore was adamant - he didn't agree.
"Then there's nothing we can do," Fudge said to his men, "I've tried my best, and I'll just figure out what to do next."
The "Daily Prophet" published another article published by the Ace Chronicle - "Bottom line protection, Dumbledore's past with the gamekeeper may be too moral to match his role."
Dumbledore never expressed his position on this in public. He didn't care at all. Even if the Minister of Magic Fudge threatened "If Hagrid is not fired, then the Headmaster will be fired." It was useless. He said: "As long as I am the Headmaster, I wouldn't have fired Hagrid the day before."
Then resign, the Ministry of Magic issued a notice, forcing Dumbledore to leave Hogwarts.
This went so well that DeWitt, who had been watching silently, realized that Dumbledore also had a plan.
The temporary acting principal is Professor McGonagall, who also has no intention of expelling Hagrid. However, the Daily Prophet stopped reporting on this matter and began to promote other news, about a certain big star in the international wizarding world. gossip scandal, this matter is over.
Just as DeWitt expected, the day after Dumbledore announced his resignation, a student from Slytherin College said that he had found the secret room, which rekindled the topic that had almost fallen silent. After it was proven that After the rumor spread, someone else said they knew it, but it turned out to be still a rumor.
Even if Professor McGonagall gave repeated orders during the meal to strictly prohibit talking about the Chamber of Secrets, it was useless for her to constantly emphasize the dangers of the Chamber of Secrets. People's mouths cannot be sealed.
But at this time DeWitt was fully prepared.
Finally, on the third night after Dumbledore left office, DeWitt received a letter from Tom, which read:
Your friends are in my hands
Don't try to tell others
Come to the bathroom on the second floor of the castle alone
Start from the place of the first person to die
It also ends here
It's too boring, too cliche, and there's nothing new about this approach.
Speaking of friends, the first thing DeWitt thought of was Hermione, but it was impossible for anything to happen to Hermione - with Dinah here.
After getting dressed and walking to the door of the lounge, DeWitt was about to rush to Tom's invitation. He remembered that Hermione was not his only friend, and he immediately turned around and went to look at other rooms in the boys' dormitory.
Let's look at Wes first for the twins - they didn't have any night walks tonight and slept well.
Then there was Harry's room... Yes, Voldemort had a reason to deal with Harry. Now that he had the opportunity, he might want to clean it up with Harry - and sure enough, there were two empty beds in Harry's dormitory.
Alas, DeWitt didn't know what to say now. Is the news about the secret room so tempting?Even if Professor McGonagall emphasized the dangers of the Chamber of Secrets, Harry and Ron couldn't be stopped?They should be able to distinguish between what they can and cannot do, right?
It can only be explained as having a reason to go.
