Harry's Dependence And Hope Are About To Be Shattered!

(3/3 extra chapters)

Hagrid doesn't have much contact with Lucas, it can be said that he only had contact with him during the dragon egg incident last year.

Hearing Ron insist that Lucas is the heir, it did arouse his interest.

"Speak carefully!"

Seeing Hagrid pull up a chair and sit in front of him, Ron was faintly pleased.

"Harry knows that Grindelwald and I have been at odds since we started school."

"It's not that I hate him, but because he always gives me a weird feeling."

"I don't think what you, I, or everyone sees is the real Grindelwald."

Harry and Hagrid looked at each other while Ron looked at his friend with a slightly smug look.

Harry asked cautiously, "Where's the evidence?"

"Evidence?"

Ron's stunned expression had already told the two of them the answer.

All of this is just his guess.

Hagrid said earnestly: "Ron, before you accuse someone of something, you need evidence first."

"Although my contact with Mr. Grindelwald was very short, I didn't feel that he was malicious. Maybe it's just that you think too much."

After Hagrid finished speaking, he walked towards the fireplace, and Harry followed after seeing this.

"Hey! What I say is the truth, and I'll find proof."

Seeing that the two of them no longer paid attention to him, Ron's expression slowly turned despondent.

"Hagrid, shouldn't you be telling us about what happened fifty years ago?"

"What fifty years ago?" Hagrid said with a flustered look and he didn't even dare to look Harry in the eyes.

Picking up the teapot hanging from the fire, he turned and walked towards the table.

"I don't know what you're talking about Harry."

"It's late now, I think you should go back to bed. If you are discovered you might be punished."

Hagrid kept his head down while making tea and talking.

The more he was like this, the more Harry believed what he saw in the diary.

"Hagrid, I've seen it all. You kept a spider in a wooden box fifty years ago."

"I also saw that you were expelled from school for this incident."

Boom! Hagrid placed the teapot firmly on the table.

He lowered his head and said angrily, "It's not me, I didn't do anything, and Aragog wouldn't kill anyone."

"Aragog?" Harry asked softly.

Hagrid sighed, sat down in a chair and recounted what happened fifty years ago.

In fact, he himself was also very confused, he was just raising a spider, so why is it related to the heir.

"I can guarantee that Aragog will not kill people, it was true fifty years ago, and it is the same now."

"Hagrid, we trust you, and Dumbledore must trust you too."

Harry stepped forward and patted Hagrid's arm to reassure him.

Hagrid's mood gradually calmed down, looked up at the two of them and said, "Yes, I am very grateful to Dumbledore, it was because of his support fifty years ago that I was able to stay in Hogwarts to work even after being expelled."

Harry never heard Hagrid talk about the past.

If it wasn't for getting the magical diary this time, he didn't know that his big friend was still hiding such a sad past.

Harry still had a different kind of trust in Hagrid in his heart. Because it was the other party who brought him to the magic world and taught Harry some basic knowledge of the wizarding world.

Even Harry's first birthday present was given by Hagrid, so Hagrid is very special in Harry's heart, he is a friend but also like a relative.

And Harry has another feeling for Dumbledore.

He trusted Dumbledore, but this trust comes from the introduction of Dumbledore by others and in books.

And first year, from his little time spent talking with Dumbledore, he felt like he was a trustworthy, omnipotent grandfather to Harry.

In his mind, there was no problem that Dumbledore couldn't solve, so Harry regarded Dumbledore as his "hope".

Seeing Hagrid's eyes full of gratitude to Dumbledore, Harry immediately said: "In this case, you should remember carefully who opened the secret room fifty years ago."

"If we can find the heir, it will not only clear your grievances, but also help Dumbledore, Hagrid, you must think about it."

"Oh yes, now that the school and Dumbledore are having trouble, of course I have to help."

Hagrid lowered his head when he finished speaking.

Judging from his frowning, it seems that he really has some memories.

Harry stared hard at Hagrid, hoping he could recall something useful.

If they really find the heir because of this, then he can dispel the misunderstanding of the whole school.

Maybe, he can also get a lot of bonus points for this. If it helps Gryffindor win the House Cup because of the extra points, that would be perfect.

Just when Harry fell into fantasy, Dumbledore met Minister Fudge outside the hut.

Looking at the big spider carried by the Auror, there was a gleam in Dumbledore's eyes. He seemed to understand the plan of Fudge and others.

Neither of them said anything after greeting each other.

Led by Dumbledore, they knocked on the door of Hagrid's hut.

Hearing a knock on the door, Harry and Ron were taken aback. The two quickly put on the invisibility cloak and hid in the corner of the room.

The people who will come here at this time, there's no need to think much, they can only be the professors of Hogwarts.

But Harry didn't expect that it was Dumbledore who came in.

Not only Dumbledore, but three people followed behind him.

One of them Harry knew, Rufus Scrimgeour, Head Auror.

"Hello Rubeus Hagrid, the reason we are here today should be very clear to you."

"Regarding the attack on Hogwarts students, as the culprit we will proceed to arrest you now."

Minister Fudge straight to the point expressed his intention for coming.

He looked at Rufus as soon as he finished speaking.

"It's not me, you should know I didn't do it."

Hagrid defended himself loudly.

In response, Fudge yelled loudly: "So far, nearly ten people have been petrified or disappeared."

"I need to give everyone an explanation, and your record with the Ministry of Magic is quite bad, you should know it in your heart."

"Rufus, take him away!"

Harry under the cloak was anxious, he wanted to go out to help Hagrid, but was pulled tightly by his friend.

"Don't be impulsive, it's useless for you to go out!"

Hearing Ron say this, Harry slowly calmed down.

He looked at Dumbledore, believing that with the help of the Headmaster, Hagrid would be fine.

Dumbledore did not disappoint Harry, just when Rufus was about to step forward for the second time.

He raised his hand to stop him: "Minister Fudge, I completely trust Hagrid, and I can vouch for him that this matter has nothing to do with him."

"You vouch for him? Dumbledore, it's clearly written in the Ministry of Magic records that you were the one who vouched for him fifty years ago."

"But this happened again now, how do you ask me to trust your word?"

Dumbledore was silent for a few seconds and said, "You should know that this is in the Chamber of Secrets..."

"Dumbledore, I respect you, but please don't take me for a fool. We all read "Hogwarts: A History" when we were in school."

"It's written very clearly that Salazar Slytherin left a monster in the Chamber of Secrets before leaving."

"When the true heir returns, he will unleash the monster in the Chamber of Secrets and purge all of whom Salazar Slytherin deemed unfit to learn magic."

"But it's just a Legend. Even if it's true, why would a Slytherin attack a pure-blooded heir?"

Facing Fudge's questioning, Dumbledore was speechless.

This is where he finds it troublesome, it would be easier to explain if only Muggleborn students were attacked.

But pure-blood students, especially family heirs like Malfoy, were also attacked.

Apparently Chamber of Secrets Legend is a little untenable.

Seeing that Dumbledore stopped talking, the smugness in Fudge's eyes increased. He turned and looked outside the door: "Bring the evidence here."

A gigantic acromantula that had been dead for a short time was placed outside the door.

Seeing this, Hagrid hurried forward and shouted with a sad expression: "Aragog!"

The two of Harry and Ron also moved carefully to the window. Looking at the spider, Harry immediately gestured to his friend.

"This is the spider I saw, only it was small fifty years ago."

Ron looked terrified, this was definitely the most terrifying thing he had seen in his life, what with his fear of spiders.

Hagrid is a half-giant. Not only is he tall, but even his crying is earth-shaking.

Fudge didn't press.

They waited until he had calmed down before the Aurors stepped forward to take Hagrid away.

Dumbledore still wanted to stop them, but at this moment Lucius Malfoy came to the door of the cabin with graceful steps.

"Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, I didn't expect you to hide in this kind of place. It really isn't easy for me to find you."

Seeing Lucius Malfoy appear, Dumbledore's heart sank and a bad feeling came from the bottom of his heart.

Lucas, who followed Mr. Malfoy, was standing far away, ready to watch the second half of the show.
