The Lonely Dragon of Hogwarts

Dumbledore's sudden appearance made the atmosphere a bit strange.

Especially Umbridge.

She stood there trembling and said:

"Dumbledore, you..."

"Okay, no need to say more, Professor Umbridge." Dumbledore smiled kindly, "As Green just said, you have no right to expel Hagrid from Hogwarts.

This power still belongs to the Headmaster, and I hope Hagrid can continue to live in Hogwarts. "

Upon hearing this, Umbridge stood frozen on the spot, glaring angrily at Dumbledore.

But Dumbledore ignored her and said to the onlookers:

"In addition, you don't have to worry about missing classes due to Professor Hagrid's sudden departure. I have already found a new Care of Magical Creatures professor for you."

"Wait! Have you already found it?" Umbridge suddenly screamed, "I remind you, Dumbledore, in accordance with "Education Order No. 20 No. [-]"..."

"The Ministry has the power to appoint teachers only if the Headmaster cannot find a suitable candidate. I am pleased to announce that this time I have found one."

Dumbledore grabbed the topic and pointed towards the door.

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed.

Then he saw a witch with short gray hair and a protruding chin walking in slowly.

She is none other than Hagrid's former substitute teacher, Wilmina Graplan.

"I believe you all already know this person. From now on, Grapeland will use the office formerly used by Kettleburn. If you have any questions about your studies, you can go and ask her."

As he spoke, Dumbledore nodded towards Professor Grapeland.

Grapeland looked very calm. She first saluted Dumbledore, and then nodded to the students.

Now the crowd was completely excited.

The students started cheering loudly.

People who like Hagrid would love to see Hagrid stay at Hogwarts.

Hagrid's haters would also be happy to see Grapplan take Hagrid's professorship.

Dumbledore's move undoubtedly pleased everyone.

Of course, Umbridge must be excluded from this 'everyone'.

She was so angry that she was about to collapse.

The cheers of the students were so harsh in her ears.

"what--"

She screamed loudly and seemed to run away.

Looking at her back, many students laughed and gloated.

Hagrid wiped away tears and said:

"Dumbledore, thank you, thank you very much! You always take good care of me!"

Dumbledore shook his head and said:

"There's no need to thank me. The person you really should thank is Green. If he hadn't informed me of this in advance, I might still be kept in the dark until now."

As soon as he said this, Hagrid's eyes quickly shifted to John.

Michelle and others on the side also widened their eyes instantly.

Dumbledore winked at John quietly, and then quickly led Graplan out of the hall.

John was left to bear the heat of everyone's blazing gazes.

"Ugh--"

John sighed speechlessly.

This matter was indeed a solution he came up with after notifying Dumbledore and discussing it with Dumbledore.

But Dumbledore didn't actually need to make things clear.

Now giving all the credit to John is purely because Dumbledore wants to improve the status of the Green played by John in the eyes of Michelle, Harry and others.

John estimated that Dumbledore wanted to use this method to bring him closer to Harry and others, and to ease John's nervousness due to his recent failure to find the diadem.

It's just that Dumbledore's approach really made John dumbfounded.

However, although John did not agree with Dumbledore's approach.

But the effect this had on Harry and others was extraordinary.

For almost the whole afternoon, Hagrid, Harry and others pestered John with great enthusiasm.

Finally John couldn't stand it anymore.

After asking Draco to bring a large group of Slytherins to help, he successfully broke through.

And just like that, Harry and others still couldn't calm down after losing their target.

"Green is really a great person! I have changed my view of him!" Ron sighed, "Of course! The best and best person in my heart will always be John! This will never change. !”

"Indeed, although he is not as good as John, Green is already very good." Michelle continued with a smile, "Do you still remember? When we used the invisibility cloak a few days ago, our feet leaked, and it was Green who saved us!"

Ron said again:

"That day we went to see Hagrid's giant brother! He saved me from being crushed to death by a giant!"

"Indeed!" Michelle nodded, "I still remember his [Burning Flame]. Those flames only hurt Grawp, but did not hurt Ron at all. This is enough to prove that Green's level of magic is very high. !”

"He is also a man of his word!" Harry echoed, "He said his tranquilizer could stabilize Hagrid's brother's mood, and it really worked!"

Hermione added:

"The most important thing is today! He actually figured out a way to successfully work with Dumbledore to allow Hagrid to stay in Hogwarts! This is simply a miracle!"

The four of them looked at each other, and finally said in unison:

"Such an outstanding and trustworthy person should join the DA Army!"

"Snapped--"

Michelle snapped her fingers and said, "Then it's decided! Let's go find Green and issue an invitation!"

"But the problem now is," Ron felt a little embarrassed, "our enthusiasm just now seems to have scared him, and now he is avoiding us."

"Let's squat him in the Slytherin Maze! As a Slytherin, he always has to go in and out of the Slytherin Maze!"

Harry said quickly.

After saying that, everyone hit it off and set off immediately.

……

into the night.

Slytherin dungeon.

John took Alice with him and prepared to look for the crown at night as usual.

However, the four Michelles suddenly appeared in front of them, disrupting their plan.

It also left John completely speechless.

He smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said:

"Michelle, and Harry, I accept your thanks, really! So there's no need, it really won't be so late at night..."

"No! You misunderstood, Green!" Michelle explained hurriedly, "We are not here to pester you, we just... just want to invite you to join the DA army!"

Michelle deliberately lowered her voice in the second half of the sentence.

Hearing this, John frowned in confusion.

Alice simply laughed and said:

"Dumbledore's Army? Oh my God! The famous Dumbledore also started to cultivate Boy Scouts?"

"No!" Hermione quickly explained, "The DA Army should actually be called the Defense Against Dark Arts Team! This is an organization we established to allow students to learn the necessary magic to resist black magic!

After all, Umbridge only teaches us to copy sentences and memorize sentences, but never teaches us the real Defense Against the Dark Arts!

In order to deal with the return of Voldemort!In order to cope with the upcoming OWLs exam, we must seize the time to study on our own! "

"Then why is it called DA Army?" John asked.

"Because Umbridge stipulates that organizations without her permission are illegal! And it is impossible for her to allow the defense team to exist." Hermione continued, "So I chose such a name to attract attention. I think This sounds pretty good, do you have any questions?”

Harry also came over quickly and said:

"Green, please join! The current leader of the DA army is Michelle. She is strong enough to teach most students. But it is still too difficult. We see your strength, if If you can join..."

Before Harry could finish his words, John and Alice were already shaking their heads.

They always remember their mission, which is to find the crown.

Where do you find the time to go to a 'cram' class with Harry and Michelle?

However, before they could really say no, they heard Michelle shout:

"If you are worried about safety, I can assure you that this matter will never be discovered by Umbridge.

Because our meeting place is in the 'Response Room'!

That is a very secret magic room. As far as I know, there are no more than two people in Hogwarts who know of its existence except members of our DA Army! "

"The Room of Requirement? A secret magical room?"

John chewed these two words repeatedly, and his eyes slowly changed.

Judging from Michelle's description of it, this secret Room of Requirement seems to be a good place to hide things!

So the crown...
