Hogwarts: I am Harry's eldest cousin

Madison's eyes widened. "How did you know that?"

"You told me that." Dudley shrugged and spread his hands. "Just a second ago."

There were only a few people who had a grudge against Hermione, and even fewer who hated her to the core, especially since Audrina was also a member of Ravenclaw.

And Madison's tone had told him that.

"Thank you for the information."

Dudley stood up, pushed open the door of the Room of Requirement, turned to Madison inside and said, "Then I won't bother you anymore."

As soon as he stepped out of the door, he turned his head again.

"By the way, I personally suggest that the strawberry pattern should be paired with a white background. Pink doesn't really suit you."

Pink is actually the most difficult color to control, and it can make people feel uncomfortable if you see it too much, especially in a room surrounded by pink, which can make people feel depressed.

The door closed with a bang, leaving Madison alone inside.

Well. That means he is not interested in the other person. With this IQ, he can trick the other person into bed seven times in one night.

It turns out that a top student like Hermione is more suitable for me.

"Asshole!" Madison looked at the closed door angrily, unable to suppress the anger in his heart any longer.

With a bang, a table leg was crushed, and the originally white and tender palm faintly showed the shape of an eagle claw.

It is said that when a Veela is extremely angry, it will turn into a monster with a sharp toucan and can breathe fire.

Although Madison is not of complete Veela bloodline, her body will undergo some changes when she is angry.

"I will definitely hold you down, I promise!"

Madison didn't care about her ladylike image at all and kept cursing. Anyway, there was no one else here except her.

If Dudley is gifted, then unless he is made of strong muscles, it would be useless.

Now that we know who it is, it will be much easier.

But knowing who the other party was, Dudley was no longer anxious.

On the one hand, it was night time now, and no matter what he did, he would have to wait until the next day to break into the Ravenclaw girls' dormitory at night. Even if he was the head of the discipline group, he was not so shameless.

On the other hand, Dudley, who had just come out of the Room of Requirement, received a piece of information. An important piece of information passed on by the house-elf.

So Dudley picked up his pen and wrote a letter overnight and asked Hedwig to send it out.

The next day, something big happened at Hogwarts.

Early in the morning, a group of adult wizards rushed into the Hogwarts restaurant in a menacing manner.

This scared the little wizards who were still having their meal.

The leader among them was Draco's father, Lucius.

His arrival made Draco look unhappy, and he sighed and shook his head.

And

"I know him."

Ron said in a low voice, looking at the only short, fat, sturdy, and oddly dressed middle-aged man in the professor's seat.

“My father’s boss.”

"Cornelly Fudge, Minister of Magic!"

Then he lowered his voice so low that only people close to him could hear it.

"A fool."

"Lucius, Cornelius, what are you doing here?"

Although Dumbledore's tone was calm, anyone could sense the anger hidden beneath it.

Their arrival frightened the other little wizards.

"Dumbledore, we heard there was a horrific attack at Hogwarts. Is there such a thing?"

Chapter 153: Lucius's Forced Reign

"Something did happen, Connelly."

"Then I'm very sorry, Dumbledore." Although Fudge was apologizing, his expression was unnatural: "In this case, the Ministry of Magic has to take some necessary measures. We have already contacted the school board in advance."

Dumbledore frowned slightly. He knew nothing about the school board's affairs. It was obvious that someone was doing something behind his back.

Either by coercion, bribery, or some other method.

As for who that person is, is there any need to ask?

"Dumbledore, these are the elites of the Auror Office. I think they can help Hogwarts deal with dangerous things."

Fudge began to introduce the adult wizards who came with him.

Aurors can be understood as the law enforcement team of the wizarding world.

Theoretically, every Auror is an elite among wizards and is the best at fighting against dark wizards and dark magic.

However, in fact, the word "elite" needs to be put in quotation marks.

But there is no doubt that Aurors are excellent.

"I think Hogwarts can handle this on its own."

There was a flash of anger in Dumbledore's blue eyes.

This time the Ministry of Magic has stretched its hand a little too far.

The school board, the Minister of Magic, and the Aurors are involved. Their purpose is obvious. They are forcing the emperor to abdicate.

Force Dumbledore to step down.

If someone had dared to force Dumbledore to step down decades ago, he would have ended up in a miserable situation.

The title of the greatest white wizard is not just a joke.

I don't know if it's because I'm older, I have more concerns, my heart has softened, and I don't have the will to fight anymore. Anyway,

Dumbledore is actually quite easy to 'bully' now.

"Professor, something bad has happened. Audrina is missing."

I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but at this moment, a little witch pushed open the door in panic and shouted at the professor's seat.

Then everyone looked at her.

Hearing the little witch's words, Lucius' smile grew wider and he almost laughed out loud: "Oh, Dumbledore, I don't think Hogwarts is capable of handling this matter. You see, not only have little wizards been attacked, but some are also missing."

"Life or death is uncertain!"

Lucius emphasized the word.

"I doubt very much whether you are capable of running Hogwarts."

Although there was a respectful tone in his voice, there was not a trace of respect on Lucius's face or in his expression.

"It was just an accident," Professor McGonagall said, unable to bear it any longer.

Except for Snape, who had an ambiguous smile on his face, the other professors glared at Lucius.

"The situation is terrible now," Lucius interrupted Professor McGonagall lazily, taking out a long roll of parchment and saying, "The board feels that you should leave. This is the dismissal order - all twelve directors have signed it."

"We feel that you are not using your talents to the fullest. Since you are unable to stop the terrible things happening in Hogwarts, we should replace you with someone with talent. For example, I think the head of Slytherin would be a good fit."

"You know, my child is also a student of Hogwarts. I hope the headmaster of Hogwarts is a truly caring and responsible wizard."

"Mr. Lucius, wait a minute. This is different from what we agreed on." The first person to speak out against Lucius was Fudge. He almost shouted, with a panicked expression on his face: "We are only asking the Aurors to assist in the investigation and Dumbledore to cooperate. We are not saying that we are going to remove him."

"Remove Dumbledore. No, no. This is absolutely not what we want to do, especially in front of so many children."

It’s not that Fudge had a change of heart, but he just didn’t want to bear the consequences of causing bad influence.

The Minister of Magic dismissing the headmaster of Hogwarts may be a unique case in history, but it is certain that it is an infamy.

Even Phineas Black, the most unpopular headmaster in Hogwarts' history, was never dismissed by the Ministry of Magic.

Maybe some parents of little wizards don't like Dumbledore's occasional "madness", but there is no doubt that they all believe in and recognize Dumbledore's ability. The title of principal loved by all teachers and students is not just talk.

In fact, Fudge didn't say one more thing. If you, Lucius, dismiss Dumbledore, then who will solve the problem?

We can't let him, the Minister of Magic, come forward, can we?

If the problem is not solved, who will take responsibility?

Just this question made Fudge very dissatisfied with Lucius.

If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have come with you.

Lucius didn't care what Fudge was thinking now. He didn't even look at the nominal Minister of Magic. Anyway, his goal had been achieved.

Holding the parchment scroll, Lucius took a step forward, almost reaching Dumbledore's eye level.

"Lucius, you have no power to remove Dumbledore." Professor McGonagall stepped forward and said angrily, "Dumbledore was chosen by Hogwarts to be the headmaster!"

"I think. I have Professor McGonagall."

Lucius shook the parchment in his hand. There were a total of twelve school directors, including himself.

This means that the contents of this parchment are officially certified and comply with the laws and regulations of the wizarding world.

Although Lucius could not make any changes to the contract of Hogwarts Castle, perhaps Dumbledore could still exercise the power and authority of the headmaster of Hogwarts Castle, but in name he had been dismissed.

Unless Dumbledore intends to overturn the table and refuse to recognize the joint signature of these twelve directors.

But obviously, he won't do that, because he is Dumbledore, because he is the greatest white wizard and because he won't go along with 'dark wizards'.

Even if Dumbledore wanted to overturn the table, the first one to disagree would not be Lucius, but the Ministry of Magic. The power of the school directors is given by the Ministry of Magic. If you do not recognize the school directors, you are not recognizing the legitimacy of the Ministry of Magic.

This is also why Fudge was so dissatisfied.

No matter what happens, Lucius can achieve his goal.

Lucius looked arrogant and had Dumbledore completely under his control.

And if these Aurors can successfully resolve this matter, Dumbledore's prestige will be greatly suppressed.

Thinking of this, a gleam of light flashed in Lucius' eyes.

That would be great news.

And if the situation has not changed, then the culprit of this incident is the Weasley family's youngest daughter - Ginny Weasley.

He had put the book with her in the first place.

He can also frame his old rivals, the Weasleys.

Hiding items of dark magic. Tsk tsk, this crime is no small one.

Kill two birds with one stone, a brilliant plan.

Chapter 154 Visitors from the Ministry of Magic! Disband the Disciplinary Group?!

"Dear Headmaster Dumbledore, I think you may need to come with us."

Lucius seemed to have completely replaced Fudge, as if he was the Minister of Magic: "You protected the murderer who opened the Chamber of Secrets and killed the female students 50 years ago. As far as I know, he is still the key keeper and gamekeeper of Hogwarts. I think you should explain why you allowed such a dangerous person to be here and what happened back then."

"Not to me, of course, but to the parents of other students."

Lucius spoke righteously, as if he was really upholding justice.

"Dumbledore, is what Mr. Lucius said true?" Fudge's face changed at this time. Although he was a little stupid, he also reacted: "How can you leave such a dangerous person in Hogwarts? This will endanger the lives of other students!"

Do you think Fudge knew Hagrid was at Hogwarts? He said this because he was worried that it would affect his approval ratings and he wanted to remain as Minister of Magic.

"Hagrid was innocent of what happened back then."

Dumbledore simply said this, his piercing blue eyes never leaving Lucius's cold grey ones.

"It's not up to you to decide whether he is innocent or not. The Ministry of Magic has convicted him back then." For Lucius, it was enough for him to know that the Ministry of Magic had already convicted him. Even if they were really wrong, the Ministry of Magic would not admit it, which would undoubtedly reduce their prestige.
