Chapter 22 The Missing Ginny

At this moment, Fudge walked up to Hagrid and said in a low tone: "Hagrid, based on your previous convictions, our Ministry of Magic contacted the school director and had to temporarily take you away."

"Where are you taking it?"

"Don't worry, it's not punishment, it's just prevention." Fudge's voice was somewhat apologetic, "You won't stay in Azkaban for a long time."

At this time, Rossi on the side finally couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "Minister, before taking Mr. Hagrid to Azkaban, why don't you let me say a few words first?"

While speaking, Rossi clicked on the system panel and reasoned about the dungeon task (finding out the truth behind the attack).

"Are you starting to deduce based on the important clue one, about the basilisk, the first clue, Dobby's counter-evidence, the second clue, the notes mixed into the pile of books?"

"The clues are reasonable and the reasoning is successful."

"Combining the three clues and reasoning to draw conclusion one: Lucius Malfoy hid Tom Riddle's (known as Voldemort) notebook in Ginny's book and brought it to Hogwarts. Ginny was bewitched by Voldemort, and opened the In the secret room, chicken blood is used as a guide to cause the basilisk to petrify others.

Is it determined as the final conclusion based on conclusion one? "

"Huh?" Seeing the reasoning result given by the system, Rossi couldn't help feeling a little puzzled, and thought to himself, "Conclusion one? Just conclusion one?"

"The system prompts are not deceiving. If there is conclusion one, isn't there also possible conclusion two or three? Could there be something hidden behind this attack that was not mentioned in the original book? Is this a change in the game? Do you want to submit the task?"

If she submitted the mission now to its current conclusion, Hagrid would naturally not need to be taken to Azkaban to suffer from the dementor infestation.But there is no doubt that the reward she received in the end will also be devalued.

"Because an NPC affected the completion of the mission? Is it worth it?" Rosie looked up at the nervous Hagrid, and couldn't help feeling a little tangled in his heart.

"What do you want to say?" Fudge asked sternly, looking at Rossi, who was stunned in place after saying a word, with an unhappy expression.

Hearing Fudge's question, Rossi's eyes flickered, and he said in a flash: "Minister Fudge, I have found out that the basilisk hiding in the Slytherin chamber is the one who attacked the students inside Hogwarts. This incident should have nothing to do with Hagrid."

"Basilisk?" Fudge lowered his head and pondered for a moment, his short and fat body approached Rossi a few steps, and asked again, "What evidence do you have?"

Rossi recounted the clues about the basilisk seen in the library again. As for other clues, because she hadn't submitted the task yet, it would be useless because there was no evidence, so Rossi didn't mention it.

"So these are all just your conjectures?" Fudge frowned and said, "Also, even if your conjecture is correct and the chamber of secrets is opened again, how can you prove that it wasn't Hagrid who opened the chamber of secrets this time? "

At this time, Snape, who had been standing by the side with his arms folded, suddenly said: "I don't think Hagrid, who has no wand and can't cast magic, is capable of driving basilisks to attack others. Moreover, if the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets is really It exists, and I don't think a half-blood giant is qualified to open it."

"But the objective existence of things will not be changed because of our subjective conjectures, Severus!" Fudge explained seriously, "I said, this is just a precaution. When something like this happens, the Ministry of Magic must do something to deal with it."

Snape was still talking, but Lucius suddenly interjected: "And the half-blood giant may not be unable to open the chamber of secrets, after all, he opened it 50 years ago."

"No, I didn't!" Hagrid immediately denied, "That's not me, I haven't opened the Chamber of Secrets."

After a pause, Hagrid continued: "And the basilisk is different from other magical animals. I can't communicate with the basilisk without Parseltongue, let alone drive it to kill people!"

"It may not be necessary to drive it." Lucius smiled mysteriously and proudly, and said in a cadenced aria, "You know, our pure-blood family always has some mysterious and long-standing records, for example, we know that the basilisk Not afraid of the crowing of the rooster; for example, we know that chicken blood can drive the basilisk into a frenzy."

"Ding, important clue [-] of mission [-], the information about the basilisk has been updated."

Rossi's spirit was lifted by the sudden notification sound from the system, and he asked Lucius, "What else?"

"The blood of the toad can weaken the ability of the basilisk." Lucius replied subconsciously, then suddenly came to his senses, gave Rosie a dissatisfied look, then turned to Hagrid and continued, "So, you don't need to drive It is enough to smear chicken blood on its only path."

"So every attack is accompanied by chicken blood?" A very handsomely dressed professor said, "Oh yes, I have noticed this a long time ago, you know Minister Fudge, I have always been keen The power of observation, I was just wondering why it was chicken blood..."

Fudge ignored the self-proclaimed Harold, turned his attention to Hagrid again and said, "Okay, Hagrid, since there is no evidence to prove your innocence, you should come with me..."

Hearing this, Hagrid had no choice but to bow his head resignedly.

"Wait." Rossi stopped again.

"Agent Rossi!" Fudge said dissatisfiedly, "Please remember your identity, you are just a third-level probationary agent who has not yet become a regular!"

Rossi stomped her feet depressed, and was about to submit the task, when she heard a young female voice suddenly sound from the stairs on the second floor: "Professor McGonagall, Ginny is gone!"

"Huh?? Ginny is missing?" Hearing that Ginny, who should be the protection target of Mission [-], was missing, Rossi's attention was immediately attracted by the Gryffindor female student at the stairway who was timidly looking at everyone downstairs.

"What's going on?" Mag immediately stepped forward and asked.

The girl whispered to Mag: "I don't know, Ginny has always been weird. Tonight, we were all in the dormitory, but she disappeared in a blink of an eye."

At this time, Fudge and others, who didn't want to stay in Hogwarts anymore, planned to take Hagrid away.

Seeing this, Rossi immediately ran forward to stop him and said, "Minister Fudge, the students of Hogwarts are missing now, are you going to leave now?"

Before Fudge could speak, Lucius next to him sneered and said, "Why, do you want the majestic Minister of Magic to stay here to play peek-a-boo with a little girl?"

Fudge nodded, and said seriously: "We still have important official duties, so we can't stay here for long."

"Hehe!" Rossi sneered unceremoniously, and said, "Knowing that a child may be in danger, but he wants to leave on official grounds, if it gets out, won't it embarrass the Ministry of Magic?"

"Apprentice agent!" Fudge snapped, "Please pay attention to your identity!"

Rossi said indifferently: "According to the regulations of the Ministry of Magic, in dangerous or potentially dangerous situations, Ministry of Magic staff must ensure the safety of others around them before they can evacuate. If you leave now like this, you will face magic law enforcement." The scouting team's review. Even if you are a minister, you have no prerogative to change the long-standing Ministry of Magic regulations."

While speaking, he complained in his heart: "When I entered the Ministry of Magic, you didn't know where you were! You still messed with me..."
