Chapter 70: Dumbledore was driven away
A/N: Suppose the MC was 17-18 years old before transmigration - Who should be the love interest after he is free?
You can choose between students and teachers as well as the death eaters. *no gay*
If he resurrected from the philosopher's stone, it's best to say that he will have a nonaging body as his new body will be made from alchemy like the homunculus in Full Metal Alchemist. So Hermione and Ginny are also on the table as I can make him single without aging till the fmls becomes adults, like how we don't feel grossed out reading a 115 y/o vampire with a 21 y/o girl.
Do tell! 🧔🏻

At this time, someone knocked on the door again.
Dumbledore went over and opened the door. When he saw the sullen figure walking in, Harry let out a breath that forced Cyrus to give him an elbow poke.
Outside the door was Lucius Malfoy.
Lucius Malfoy strode into Hagrid's hut, wrapped tightly in a long black traveling cloak and with a cold, content smile on his face.
Fang started barking.
Seeing Malfoy's appearance, Cyrus was finally relieved. No matter what, things finally developed to where they are now. Malfoy has cooperated with him in using some means to drive Dumbledore out of school.
Hogwarts without Dumbledore is no longer a threat to Cyrus.
His mood suddenly became clear, and he couldn't help but curl up his lips.
Another person who was not surprised at all by Malfoy's appearance was Dumbledore, who had already guessed that such a day would come. It was impossible for Tom Riddle to allow him to stay in the school, which was not conducive to the final step of his plan. That would be too unsafe.
Just like last year, it's best to find ways to distract yourself.
Dumbledore was originally wondering when the other party planned to take action?
It looks like it's now.
"You're here, Fudge," Malfoy said with satisfaction, "Very good, very good..."
It is also his "master's" plan to let Hagrid take the blame again. This matter is indispensable for him to put pressure on Fudge - he just needs to buy some public opinion - now seeing that Fudge has arrived at Hogwarts, Lucius Malfoy is Naturally very satisfied.
But Hagrid doesn't like this uninvited guest. What good intentions can the Malfoy family have?
"What are you doing here? Get out of my house!"
"Dear friend, please believe me, I am not happy to enter this room of yours - oh - you call this a house?" Lucius Malfoy looked around this small shabby room and sneered, "I just came to the school to have a look and someone told me the Headmaster was here."
Malfoy's behavior is indeed annoying. If Cyrus hadn't known that the other party was one of his own, even he would have wanted to punch Malfoy a few times.
"What do you want from me, Lucius?" Dumbledore asked. He spoke politely.
"Things are terrible, Dumbledore." Lucius lazily rolled out a long piece of parchment. He looked relaxed and seemed to have a chance to win, even in the face of Dumbledore - or rather, because he knew he was facing Dumbledore, so he didn't panic at all.
"The board feels it's time to let you go. This is a temporary suspension order - all twelve directors have signed it. We feel you may not be using your talents to protect the students. How many attacks have there been so far? At this rate, there will be no Muggle students left at Hogwarts, and we all know that will be a terrible loss for the school."
He said it as if he was very heartbroken and sorry that students from the Muggle world were attacked.
"What are you talking about, Lucius?" Fudge said, looking panicked. "Dumbledore has been temporarily suspended... No, no... We absolutely do not want that to h—"
"The appointment or temporary suspension of the Headmaster is a matter for the Board of Directors, Fudge. The Ministry of Magic has no right to interfere." Lucius' face was calm. He had never taken Fudge, the incompetent minister, to heart.
"Since Dumbledore failed to prevent these attacks..."
"But look, Lucius, if Dumbledore can't stop—" Fudge said, his upper lip beginning to sweat, he thought the governors were crazy to suspend Dumbledore at this juncture. "I mean, who could stop that?"
"We'll just wait and see," Malfoy said, a sly smile on his face.
Prevent?
He didn't even think about stopping it.
"How many people did you threaten and blackmail before you forced them to agree, eh, Malfoy?" Hagrid was furious, looking at him as if he wanted to teach Lucius a lesson directly with his fists, preferably with a fist.
Smash his head into the pumpkin patch.
Malfoy was naturally not afraid of Hagrid. He said sarcastically: "I want to give you a piece of advice. Don't yell like this at the guards of Azkaban. They won't like it."
Hagrid wasn't even afraid of Azkaban anymore when he thought about Dumbledore being suspended.
"You can't take Dumbledore away! If you take him away, the Muggles will have no chance of survival! There will be attacks soon!"
"Calm down, Hagrid," Dumbledore said sternly. He looked at Lucius Malfoy.
"If the board wants me to leave, Lucius, of course, I will give up my seat."
"But—" Fudge stammered.
"No!" Hagrid growled.
Dumbledore's piercing blue eyes remained fixed on Lucius's cold gray eyes.
"However," Dumbledore said very slowly and clearly, so that everyone present could hear every word he said, "I will only truly leave this place when everyone here betrays me. This isn't just a school. You will also find that at Hogwarts, those who ask for help always receive it."
Cyrus was quite certain that Dumbledore had given them a look that was both a reminder and a warning.
Not only did he discover Harry and Ron, he even discovered himself.
"The emotion is commendable," Malfoy said, bowing. "We will all miss your very personal way of handling things, Albus. I only hope that your successor can completely prevent the ongoing incident."
Malfoy strode to the door of the cabin, opened it, bowed and sent Dumbledore out. Fudge played with his top hat, waiting for Hagrid to walk in front of him, but Hagrid stood still, took a deep breath, and said cautiously:
"If someone is looking for something, they can just follow the spider and they'll find themselves in the right direction! That's all I'm saying."
Fudge stared at him in confusion.
"Okay, here I come," said Hagrid, putting on his moleskin coat. However, just when he was about to follow Fudge out, he stopped again and said loudly: "While I'm away, someone needs to feed Fang."
The door slammed shut and Ron ripped off the invisibility cloak.
"This is going to be troublesome," he said gruffly, "Dumbledore is gone. They're probably going to do something to Hagrid. There will be attacks every day after Dumbledore's gone."
Fang barked again and scratched the closed door with his claws.
.
.
.
The next day, news of Dumbledore's departure soon spread fear like never before.
Cyrus was in a very happy mood. The weather had been bright recently, the clear sky and the lake were glowing, and the trees in the Forbidden Forest were lush and green, looking very vital. Cyrus used Ginny's body to greedily enjoy all this.
Vibrant -
For the other students at Hogwarts, fear hangs over them like a cold fog, but for Cyrus, getting back to his new life is getting closer!
