Professor of Gemology at Hogwarts

Just after seeing Dobby, Gray came up with a plan.

"Relax Mr. Malfoy," Gray said. "I just want to give you something back."

He mentioned the oval-shaped black package that he was about to send out just now. "You asked me to identify the stone before. I have packed it and am preparing to send it to you. Since it is here, how about I just return it to the original owner in person."

Lucius Malfoy returned to normal. When he looked at Gray, his eyes changed from indifference to contempt, "Oh, that's the original thing. So what conclusion did you get after identification?"

"The very precious aragonite is..."

"But? Could it be that... something went wrong?" His pale eyes turned and fell on the package.

Gray pretended to smile in embarrassment, "Well... there were some accidents during the identification process. The aragonite was of very good quality... but it seemed that it had been manipulated and turned into a few ordinary pebbles."

"What do you mean? Turned into cobblestones?" Lucius Malfoy seemed to have expected it. "You seem to think you are good at joking, Maurice. What do you mean when you say they seem to have been manipulated? I can send it directly I gave it to you, can I pay it back?"

When Gray saw Dobby hiding aside, he nodded vigorously, pointed at Lucius Malfoy, and then kept hitting himself on the head and pulling on his face.

"Who can tell?" Gray said.

"Some of the aragonites I sent out turned into a pile of worthless stones in your hands." Lucius Malfoy said, "I heard that you did a lot of research on the aragonites, and that's why you collected all the aragonites." The stone was entrusted to you, but it looks like this... you are not as reliable as others say."

He glanced at Dumbledore.

"After all, precious aragonite is rare. I don't know if the school can't afford to pay the professors a salary. How can people want to take other people's belongings as their own? In my opinion, it's hiring someone to do it. The professor is very irresponsible and behaves very irresponsibly. If this continues, I am very worried that the school will not be able to go far."

Then he said to Fudge next to him who was about to leave.

"Fudge, you have to be more accurate in your judgment of people in the future. It's a blessing to have such irresponsible and bad-behaving subordinates harm the reputation of the Ministry of Magic. Fortunately, he has left the Ministry of Magic now. But still, A potential risk - Arthur Weasley was in trouble with a flying car not long ago, which was enough to fire him. But he was also involved in this attack. I tell you, you have to be careful to identify it. When everyone knows When someone in the Ministry of Magic is causing trouble, you have to take some measures, otherwise you won't be able to go far..."

"N-no that's the case..." Ginny Weasley stammered.

"That's enough, Lucius. I feel that my judgment of the person this time is very accurate. He is a very good professor in Gray. And I, the principal, have the right to hire anyone as a professor in the school." Dumbledore said in a calm tone, but He looked at Lucius Malfoy, his blue eyes seemed to be burning with anger, "It's obvious who this matter has to do with - at least if something like this black magic falls into the hands of innocent people again, it's Ya." Arthur Weasley will surely be able to find out where they came from."

That's right, it's obvious who she is with, and the relationship is with the person in front of her.

"There is... there is... Dumbledore is right when he said there is. I will investigate and investigate carefully - uh - in fact, the mysterious person here left a dark magic diary and there is something wrong." Fudge said vaguely. He said, "Yes, I will think about it again, if this will cause any bad discussion -"

He straightened up and put on his hat. "Well, I think I should go. Those reporters are very concerned about this matter... I have to announce in the Daily Prophet that this matter has been resolved."

Lucius Malfoy looked very unhappy because he could tell that Fudge had no intention of listening to him.

In this way, Fudge didn't want to offend anyone, so he found an opportunity to leave first.

"Alas..., it is difficult to stand up when being designed." Gray looked at Lucius Malfoy with a pale face. "After all, the aragonite disappeared in front of me, and I, as a recipient, It is my responsibility to entrust a spar researcher to this matter. For this reason, I took out a few pieces of exquisite onyx as compensation - they will not turn into pebbles, they are just in this package. "

He was watching Lucius Malfoy's reaction closely when he said the words "onyx".

The other party looked at him suspiciously, "You want to restore your reputation? It's a pity that you have already left a bad impression on me -"

As he spoke, he took the package, but for a moment his shoulders suddenly sank - Gray cast a weight-increasing spell just now to make the package particularly heavy.

"What's in here?"

"I just said that onyx is very rare, but it is not as heavy as this stone."

"If I knew you were up to something -" Lucius Malfoy saw that Dumbledore was not there and continued.

He threw the package to Duobi.

Because it was too heavy, Dobby stumbled and fell to the ground after catching it, but he held the package tightly for fear of breaking it.He looked very frustrated. After falling down, he quickly got up and continued to keep up with his master. He only took two steps and then stopped.

"Come on, Dobby. You hear me, hurry up!"

But Dobby did not move, but took the package and looked at it from side to side.

Then Dobby put the package on the ground and quickly opened it. There were stones scattered on the ground, and the letter also fell to the ground.The black piece of cloth outside used to wrap things was held high by him as if it were a priceless treasure.

"Master gave Dobby a cloak," the house elf said in surprise. "Master gave Dobby a cloak."

"What?" Lucius Malfoy said angrily. "What do you mean by cloak?"

He was stunned for a moment when he saw the black cloak in Dobby's hand.

"Dobby has got the cloak. The cloak is returned to the master." Dobby said in disbelief. "The master gave it to me. Dobby - Dobby is free!"

Lucius Malfoy recognized the cloak immediately.

"You dare to think that I have a cloak! You did it last time!" Lucius Malfoy said viciously to Gray as his hand was already trying to take out the wand.

"Last time? What last time? Mr. Lucius Malfoy, I don't quite understand what you are talking about." Gray smiled and said, "Ah - that cloak was just today when I happened to be near the Forbidden Forest. I found it. The pattern on it is vaguely printed with the custom-made logo of the Malfoy family——"

Lucius Malfoy was extremely angry when he saw Gray smiling. But Dumbledore was at the scene, but he could only restrain the urge to pick up the wand and glared at Gray fiercely, "And now it's you who have made me lose it." Yes, I have a servant!"

"If I'm not mistaken, it was Lucius who gave the package to the house elf just now." Dumbledore looked at him and Gray with a smile.

Lucius Malfoy's face was paler than usual, but his eyes still burned with rage.

"Anyway, one day you will pay the price for being Maurice Gray." He glared at Gray angrily for the last time, wrapped himself in the black cloak and pushed the door open to leave.

"It's finally over. Well done, Gray." McGonagall breathed a sigh of relief. It could be seen that she felt very comfortable after seeing Lucius Malfoy in such a mess.

"Well, it's time for the two people hiding nearby to come out -" Dumbledore looked to the corner.
