Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

Chapter 83 Hogwarts Closing School

Everyone in the cabin was stunned by Dumbledore's words.

Even Harry and Ron, who were invisible in the corner, knew how much shock it would cause in the magical world if the school was really closed.

Even fifty years ago, when a student died because of this, Hogwarts was only hesitating about whether to close the school or not, but now Dumbledore actually asked for the school to be closed.

And in just three days!

Fudge, as Minister of Magic, knows even more what it means if Hogwarts is closed.

He stared at Dumbledore in astonishment, and his words were a little out of place.

"Deng... Dumbledore, do you know what it means if the school is closed?"

Of course, the consequences that Fudge thought of were more comprehensive than what Harry and the others could think of.

The biggest impact of the closure must have been on Dumbledore's own reputation.

Because it means that the situation in the school is completely out of his control. The reporters in the Daily Prophet who are bent on making some big news will definitely do their best to write some headlines that are powerful enough to attract attention.

The wizards in the British wizarding world must be very dissatisfied with this, and this sentiment will naturally transfer to the Ministry of Magic, believing that the current magical government has done nothing.

It doesn't matter whether the reputation of the Ministry of Magic is affected or not, the point is that Fudge will also be labeled "incompetent" for it.

Otherwise, if only Dumbledore's own reputation was damaged, he would be very happy to have an opinion.

Hagrid was so moved that he thought Dumbledore was using this to threaten Fudge so that he would not be captured.

"Sir, you don't have to do this. I can go with them. I believe you will find out the matter soon."

Dumbledore shook his head slightly.

"I'm not alone for you Hagrid, and I'm not threatening Fudge with this as a condition. If you really think there's something wrong with Hagrid, you can take him. But whether Hagrid is taken or not, Huo Gwarts will be closed in three days, and tomorrow morning I will tell every student and teacher that it is safest to send them home."

Fudge's eyes widened, he didn't have the courage to threaten Dumbledore to change his mind, and could only plead.

"Not to this level, Dumbledore, and even if you want to close the school, the school board won't agree, they won't let you close Hogwarts just like that!"

"Lucius Malfoy's son is also one of the students who was attacked. I think he should understand better than me that the only way to get his son home and wait for the mandrakes to mature and then configure the antidote is now. How to deal with insurance.”

Dumbledore's words blocked all the way back for him and Fudge. His attitude was very tough, and there was no room for manoeuvre at all.

Fudge finally failed to get Dumbledore to give up the idea of ​​closing the school, and similarly, he did not give up the decision to take Hagrid away.

Even if the closure would damage his reputation, he could use Hagrid to make up for it, to show that the Ministry wasn't doing nothing.

Before being taken away, Hagrid suddenly said inexplicably while standing at the door.

"Follow the spiders in the forbidden forest and you will show you everything you want to know."

Fudge looked at him in astonishment.

"what are you saying?"

Hagrid put on his overcoat, and he continued nonchalantly.

"Tooth is very timid, and he needs someone to accompany him."

"If you have time to take care of your dog, let's take care of yourself first." Fudge didn't see Hagrid's true intentions, he mumbled, and took Hagrid away in a very bad mood.

Dumbledore stayed at the end, and before closing the door of the hut, he pointedly said something to the air.

"Sometimes,

Maybe adults are not as bad as you think. "

It wasn't until all movement died down that Harry and Ron came out of the invisibility cloaks.

"Is Professor Dumbledore speaking to us at the end?" Ron asked uncertainly.

Harry noticed Dumbledore's gaze.

"He just glanced at us, the professor should have spotted us."

"But why did he decide to close the school! What if Hermione is closed? Just send her home like this? Her parents will go crazy!" Ron said irritably.

Harry calmed down at this time, and he didn't know why Dumbledore must insist on closing the school, and the time was set in three days.

But he clearly understood the last message Hagrid left to them before he left.

If the truth of the matter can be found out before Hogwarts is closed, it will be too late.

"Hagrid asked us to bring Fangya, enter the forbidden forest, and follow the spiders to find out the truth!"

Harry and Ron looked at each other, already made up their minds.

Put the Invisibility Cloak on the table in the house, it will not be used when entering the Forbidden Forest, they walked out of Hagrid's hut, Hagrid's hound Fang Ya was lying on the ground and whimpering, it was with his own eyes. Seeing that his master was taken away.

Harry grabbed Fang's rope and patted its hind legs.

"Take us inside for a walk, Fang."

Fang Ya shook the hair on his body, as if he understood Harry's words, he walked ahead and led the two of them into the Forbidden Forest.

"Fluorescent flashes."

Harry used the magic wand lighting spell, barely illuminating a space of more than two meters in radius, but Ron did not dare to use the magic spell. His wand had not been repaired, and he was afraid that the lighting spell would not be used and would explode instead.

They found the silhouettes of those little spiders on the ground, and then followed the movements of these spiders to the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

Fang ran around them, sniffing the roots and leaves along the way, and by the light of Harry's wand, they followed the spiders that kept crawling down the path for about twenty minutes.

No one spoke, but listened carefully to see if there were any other sounds besides the snapping branches and the rustling of leaves.

The trees were growing thicker, the stars above were gone, and Harry's wand was gleaming alone in the endless darkness, when they found that the spider guides had veered off the path.

In the past, Hagrid warned them not to deviate from the forest path, but at this time Hagrid was probably locked in Azkaban's cell, and they could only continue to follow the spider to move forward.

After walking for about half an hour, Harry and Ron's clothes were ripped by the low branches and thorny vines, just when Ron was panting and signaled to Harry that he had to stop and rest for a while .

A cold and familiar voice suddenly sounded behind them.

"Why are you here?"
