Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 1066 Hanging

Hearing someone knocking on the door, Hagrid put down what he was doing suspiciously, got up and walked to the door, brushed his teeth that were scratching excitedly at the door, opened the wooden door, looked at the familiar figure standing outside the door, and greeted him with a smile. Said: "It's Albert, come in, you haven't seen me for a long time."

  Ya Ya enthusiastically wagged his tail, trying to pounce on Albert, trying to stick out his tongue to lick Albert's cheek, but was suppressed by him touching his head.

   "Hagrid, you should go!" Albert said without raising his head. His words made Hagrid, who was still smiling enthusiastically, froze immediately?

   "What's the matter?" Hagrid slowed down making tea for Albert, looked sideways at Albert who was brushing his teeth, and asked tentatively, "Did something happen?"

  Hagrid knew very well that Albert would never say such a thing for no reason. Something bad must have happened, so the other party came to remind him.

   "Umbridge's patience is probably at its limit. You should be very clear that after she drove away Headmaster Dumbledore, the situation between you and Firenze became quite bad."

   "Is that so?" Hagrid poured Albert a cup of hot tea and muttered, "That wicked old hag. Ever since I came back, she has been trying to find a chance to drive me away."

   "Firenze's situation is better than yours, at least Umbridge won't touch him for the time being, but if you don't leave now..."

   "What will happen if you don't go?" Hagrid asked curiously.

"Then you may have to go to Azkaban Prison for a few months." Albert handed the snacks specially prepared for dogs to Fangya, looked up at Hagrid who was a little uneasy, and reminded, " Umbridge and Fudge were always more interested in where Dumbledore was hiding than in catching the escaped Death Eaters."

   "They think I know where Dumbledore is hiding?" Hagrid's eyes widened in disbelief. "They want to force me to tell where Dumbledore is?"

   "Well, that's about it." Albert glanced at the pocket watch in his hand.

   "I really don't know what's going on in the heads of those idiots?" Hagrid said contemptuously, "They actually think that I will betray Dumbledore."

"They suspect any wizard who has a close relationship with Dumbledore, including you, Professor McGonagall and Potter." Probably noticing Hagrid's mood changes, Albert comforted: "Compared to Potter, you should worry about yourself , Potter is smarter than you, he can solve his own problems, but you are different, Umbridge absolutely hates, even "hates" any "half-breed", I mean you, Lupine, Phelan Ze, she thinks you guys are dangerous. From the way that guy drafted the Anti-Werewolf Act in 1993, and the way he behaved during his tenure as a professor, you better not expect anything, as long as she asks you to give you more Veritaserum. It’s so easy to pry your mouth open, even if it does great harm to people.”

  Hagrid opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"Not long ago, Nearly Headless Nick told me that Umbridge hoped that Cornelius Fudge would sign the education order to expel Peeves." Albert ignored the frustration on Hagrid's face and continued, "I think wizards throughout the ages have done that, but they failed to drive Peeves away."

   "I heard that Peeves has been making trouble for Umbridge." Hagrid seemed to be in a better mood when he talked about this.

   Sure enough, watching Umbridge get unlucky always brings joy to many people.

"Don't get too excited, Hagrid," Albert warned with raised eyebrows, "Perhaps, Umbridge's action to expel Peeves is doomed to fail, but the guy who enlisted a bunch of Aurors to help must not only target Peeves, She would never mind letting those Aurors help her clean up other troubles at Hogwarts by the way, so that she can control Hogwarts better."

Albert closed his pocket watch with a snap, took out a bag from his robe pocket and put it on the table in front of Hagrid, "You still have a quarter of an hour, take it and your wand, Auror at the Ministry of Magic Get out of here before you arrive, trust me, surrounded by a bunch of Aurors, you won't even have a chance to run."

After Albert cast a spell to eliminate the traces of his presence, he stopped at the door and said: "Remember to bring your umbrella, I don't think you will let the Aurors discover your secret, and don't hesitate to use magic, they I won't know, and you'd better move fast."

"Remember, they can always find an excuse to throw you into prison. Don't expect anything." Albert didn't stay any longer, so as not to leave a false impression on Hagrid. The new task is to help Hagrid escape the pursuit. Average, but the win is that the task is easier to complete.

   "It's...terrible!"

  Hagrid withdrew his gaze, reached out to pick up the bag and stuffed it into his coat pocket, then picked up the umbrella in the corner, and told Upper Fang to leave the hunting lodge in a hurry.

  Hagrid would have thought of leaving Hogwarts temporarily if it wasn't for Glopp. He knew that Umbridge had always wanted to find a chance to fire him in front of the whole school.

   It's just, what will poor Grapp do if he leaves school now?

  Albert's arrival made Hagrid realize the seriousness of the problem. With Albert's character, he definitely had a premonition of something bad, so he was asked to leave school as soon as possible.

  In fact, not long after Hagrid left, Umbridge appeared outside the hunting lodge with a group of Aurors on his back.

  Umbridge intends to use this opportunity to solve Hagrid's problem. She has always believed that the big man must be hiding some ulterior secret.

"he's not here."

  Dawlish observed the hunting lodge through the window and found that there was no one inside.

  Several Aurors looked at each other, used the Unlocking Charm to open Hagrid's hunting lodge, and looked at the empty room. Gadwin reached out and touched the kettle on the table, and expressed his judgment, "Maybe, he has something to go out."

"No, I think he probably knew we were coming, maybe someone leaked the news." An Auror pointed to the parchment pasted on the table, which read: I know you want Aurors to catch me, but I don't will give you a chance. — Hagrid.

  Of course, the parchment was left by Albert, just to remind Umbridge, and to add some anger to the toad by the way.

   "Damn... Hagrid must know where Dumbledore is hiding!" Umbridge gritted his teeth and tore up the parchment in his hand, and turned to look at Gadvin Robards, "Can you track him down?"

   "Yes." Gadvin Robards glanced at Umbridge and said, "But it will take a lot of time, and it may not be successful. It's best not to have too much hope."

   "Don't worry ma'am, Hagrid can't use magic, we will definitely find and catch him." Dawlish almost patted his chest to promise.

"Don't forget his bloodline, Dawlish." Gadwin glanced at his colleagues, and reminded, "You'd better bring more people, and don't expect Hagrid to catch him without a fight and knock him out. Just go back."

   "Of course I remember, don't worry, let me handle it, ma'am, I promise to send Hagrid to Azkaban."

   "Hagrid is only a suspect now, not a criminal. Before determining his crimes, hold your slack." Gardwin reminded with a frown.

  Umbridge slightly raised his eyebrows and glanced at Gadwin, but said nothing.

  The Aurors were divided into half, followed by Dawlish to hunt down Hagrid, and the other half followed Umbridge into the castle to deal with Peeves. In order not to repeat the same mistakes, Umbridge personally took them in.

  If Albert Anderson dares to jump out to block, she will let the opponent understand that the duel champion is nothing special.

  However, Umbridge didn't know that everything that happened after she brought the Auror into Hogwarts was under the watchful eye of Albert.

  A quarter of an hour ago, Albert, who was taking a transformation class, suddenly noticed that the wrist **** his wrist seemed to be faintly hot.

  There are several gemstones of various styles strung on the rope, each gemstone has a unique purpose, and one of them is a tool he uses to communicate with himself in an emergency.

   That's right, use it with yourself.

   While using the Time-Turner, it's best not to meet each other, but sending messages is no problem.

  When the gemstones on the wristband give yourself an early warning, it means something happened.

   Albert found out the situation immediately through the atlas.

   Even saw Umbridge breaking into Hagrid's hunting lodge with a group of Aurors, but Hagrid had already left early.

   As for the new mission, Umbridge will send someone to hunt down Hagrid.

  Albert was not worried about Hagrid being caught at all, because he believed that he could help Hagrid get rid of those annoying pursuers.

  Maybe, they were wiped out as soon as they left Hogwarts.

  In fact, when Dawlish and his group used the Tracking Charm to follow the trail left by Hagrid, they did encounter trouble.

   It should be said that they were shamefully attacked as soon as they left Hogwarts.

   Without warning, two red lights appeared out of thin air, and the last two Aurors were directly knocked down by the spell.

   "Damn it, we were ambushed, Savage and Williamson fell." Tonks yelled loudly when he heard the sound of falling.

  She was still thinking about how to help Hagrid delay the time, but now it seems that it has been avoided. Just now, someone launched a sneak attack from behind when they were unprepared.

  Silently, without any warning.

   "Where is the enemy, I don't see anyone."

  After the two companions fell without warning, the Aurors who were trying their best to track Hagrid had to stop and be vigilant to guard against the spell that might strike at any time.

   Albert did not try to sneak attack again, but secretly observed the level of the Aurors.

   Form a defensive formation as soon as they encounter a sneak attack, and use collective strength to resist attacks that may come from anywhere at any time. It is not difficult to see that these Aurors are indeed well-trained, but that's all.

   "The enemy is invisible, force him out." Dawlish shouted loudly, waving his wand, "Reveal in human form."

  Several manifesting mantras swept across the surroundings, and a figure appeared from the void.

   "The enemy is there, I see him!"

   I don't know who shouted, and then I saw a disarming spell flying towards me.

   "Stop looking down on people."

  The Auror blocked the Disarming Curse twice in a row, but was hit directly by the third Stunning Curse, and passed out after a double-eye.

   The Aurors couldn't see the attacker clearly, because they only saw a very vague human silhouette.

  Dawlish really couldn't understand why the Humanoid Appearance Curse didn't fully expose the other party, but he didn't have the heart to explore these issues, because the enemy didn't seem to care about his exposure and had already attacked them again.

  The spells of the Aurors fell through, and the enemies ahead disappeared without warning.

   "Apparate, the man is nearby."

   "I see him, on the left."

   "He disappeared again."

   "Damn, who is this guy!"

  Seeing his own attack being blocked lightly by the opponent, Dawlish felt a sense of frustration and powerlessness in his heart.

  Because his colleagues were being knocked down with ease, using spells they were familiar with.

Whether it's the Stunning Spell, the Disarming Spell, or the Iron Armor Spell, the guy on the opposite side is extremely skilled in using it. With Apparition, he can always block the Aurors' attacks lightly, and seize the gap to disarm their wands, or stun people , It's like a slapstick game between adults and children.

   "Damn, damn."

   Watching his colleagues being knocked down by the Stunning Curse one by one, Dawlish felt extremely humiliated when he was the only one left.

  He knew he was no match for the opponent.

  He also knows that he needs more help.

  So, Dawlish intends to find reinforcements. If they are really knocked out here by that guy, then they may be completely reduced to the laughing stock of the entire magic world.

  Before Dawlish Apparated away, he waved his wand to create a defensive barrier to buy himself time.

  However, in just a split second, Dawlish was stunned to find that his defensive barrier had been shattered, and a spell hit his chest at an astonishing speed, leaving Dawlish who was trying to Apparate in place.

   "You bastard..."

  Dawlish was hit by the Stunning Curse, fell heavily to the ground, and passed out directly.

   "It's worse than expected, is it because of the surprise attack?"

Albert quickly denied this, perhaps because of the sneak attack, but Aurors are not specialized in combat, and their level may be higher than most wizards, but they are still not as good as those wizards who participated in the duel competition. Maybe they Pay more attention to tacit cooperation.

   At least, he behaved well when dealing with emergencies.

  Finally glanced at the Auror who was lying on the ground, Albert immediately apparated and left the scene of the crime. He needed to find a place to remove his disguise and return to Hogwarts.

  As for Hagrid's problem, the Aurors couldn't find him for a while.

  The next thing is the matter in the castle, but he doesn't need to worry about that, or he doesn't need to worry about himself now.

After reappearing on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Albert waved his wand to remove the disguise on his body. After his hair, face and clothes were completely new, under the cover of the Disillusionment Charm, he walked towards Hagrid's hunting lodge. Where is he going to wait? The matter has completely subsided.
