Chapter 719 Hagrid and the Giant
Naturally, everyone expressed their incomprehension about Fudge's situation.
Questioning Dumbledore was basically impossible at Hogwarts, except for Slytherin House.
Most of the Ravenclaws chose to watch, while Hufflepuff and Gryffindor were Dumbledore's solid supporters.
However, except for Hogwarts, this trust is naturally greatly compromised.
However, all this was almost unbearable in Hagrid's eyes.
What Fudge was doing was clearly pushing Hagrid's limits.
"He can't do this," Hagrid muttered. "He dared to question Dumbledore. If Dumbledore really wanted his position, Fudge would have never had a chance."
"What chance, Hagrid?" Harry asked in confusion.
"Of course it is the position of Minister of Magic." Hagrid said, "At that time, everyone supported Dumbledore to lead them, but Dumbledore did not want to be the Minister of Magic, so Dumbledore replaced Cornelius. Fudge pushed it forward, but if it weren't for Dumbledore's support, Cornelius Fudge wouldn't be able to compete with Crouch, even if there was the matter of Barty Crouch Jr."
Hagrid spoke for a long time in one breath. The sound was so loud that Fanlin's ears began to hurt. The giant's voice was not acceptable to ordinary people.
"Crouch was too cruel to himself, it can be said..."
Hagrid suddenly stopped talking. Crouch finally got his son out of Azkaban. If it hadn't been for his son, in Hagrid's opinion, this kind of thing would never have happened today.
However, Fanlin gave Hagrid enough sideways glances.
When it comes to Dumbledore, Hagrid's IQ is no longer as simple as being above the line.
For Hagrid to be able to analyze to this extent, Fanlin had to admit that this was definitely the smartest time for Hagrid to deal with things.
However, one thing that Fudge exposed when he led the dementors into Hogwarts was...
Although Hogwarts said that Apparition was prohibited and the Floo Network was under surveillance, as long as the people at Hogwarts were willing and cooperated with the people from the Ministry of Magic, the Portkey would be a huge loophole.
Otherwise, such a thing would not have happened that day.
The most important witness was killed directly by Fudge and the dementors.
It was almost unbearable.
Dumbledore should have recognized this flaw in his defense.
The right to make portkeys must be taken back from the Ministry of Magic. Otherwise, if something goes wrong inside Hogwarts, Voldemort's Death Eaters can break into Hogwarts instantly.
If you think about it, this is a one-shot kill.
Hogwarts is not powerful enough. This is not the Auror headquarters, it is just a school.
Perhaps more directly, Hogwarts' defense directly blocks any wizard's means of spatial movement.
It's like creating a space gap directly around Hogwarts, but in terms of consumption, this is destined to only be a means during war.
"Fudge is so stupid." Hagrid continued to complain, "We all know that Fudge is stupid, but we naively think that he can be more cautious in dealing with that person. Voldemort has been obvious enough. Regarding the Quidditch World Cup, this group of heartless Aurors should not focus on those vampires. The focus is on the Dark Mark behind it, and Azkaban. They should have completely cleaned it up long ago. .”
"He just ignored everything about Voldemort."
Fan Lin said nonchalantly that he had been mentally prepared for Fudge for a long time. Naturally, he would look at any stupid behavior of Fudge from another angle...
Sure enough, I still can’t stand it…
"It's really bad..." Fan Lin frowned and said, "However, his choice is not surprising. People are afraid of Voldemort. Naturally, no one wants him to come back, so Fudge's choice is not difficult to understand."
"He hopes to maintain the status quo and continue to be his Minister of Magic. Fudge himself knows very well that once a war is launched, he will not be able to lead the current Ministry of Magic to fight against it. It can be said that once Voldemort returns, Fudge's downfall is inevitable The matter may not be a big problem for Fudge in peacetime, but in wartime..."
"However, we all know that Voldemort is not dead. This is something that must be confirmed." Hagrid said angrily. "Fudge also knows that he is just deceiving himself. For so many years, he has been in Albania. This is As everyone knows, we must recognize the reality..."
"Yes, we must recognize the reality, but the key is that this us does not include Fudge. Maybe twelve or thirteen years ago, Fudge could be considered us, but that is not the case now." Fan Lin said nonchalantly.
"That's it for Fudge, that's all he can do."
"We must fight." Hagrid thought for a moment, "There is no doubt that the war will begin, and Fudge is not a good leader. We must prevent Voldemort from gaining power, the Ministry of Magic, or something, Dumbledore He was the only one who stood up to him, and Dumbledore did it all the time."
Hagrid is simply a fan and loyal supporter of Dumbledore.
However, Dumbledore was no more powerful than Voldemort when he was young.
Become a loyal partner with Grindelwald, and follow the principle that birds of a feather flock together, well...
"Don't talk about Voldemort and Fudge." Harry said, "By the way, Hagrid, what does Dumbledore want with you and Madame Maxime?"
"Oh, he found something for Olim and I." Hagrid said with a happy face.
"Who is Olim?"
"Mrs. Maxim." Hagrid said with some embarrassment, "Who else could it be?"
Fanlin didn't know why, but felt a chill...
"Okay, Dumbledore asked you two to...find the giant?"
"Sure enough, I can't help you." Hagrid said, "Dumbledore really asked me and Olim to find the giants, at least win them over before Voldemort. This is very important. Last time, we ate them." This is a loss. So this time, Dumbledore hopes that I can send them a message. Olim will go with me, and I will put her to sleep!"
"Giants?" Harry was surprised, "Where are they?"
"A mountainous area in the north of Ireland, but most of them are near Leitrim." Hagrid said, "Apart from the UK, Sicily is where giants gather, but the English Channel is not that easy to cross. .”
"So you're going north?"
"Go to both places," Hagrid said. "It depends on the numbers. Most of the giants were expelled last time."
"Expulsion? Hagrid, this is..."
"Sorry, Harry, I can't say any more, it's confidential."
Everyone naturally understood Hagrid, but Fanlin was still surprised by what happened to the giant.
The north of Ireland is understandable, but the Italian giant...
In any case, the destructive power of creatures like giants is still very foul, otherwise, the gods in mythology would not appear in the form of giants.
More advanced ones, such as Titans, strictly speaking, these two cannot be linked together, but in terms of form, Titans are still very close, but there are some problems with their brains.
However, it is difficult to hide things like giants. Without the intervention of the Ministry of Magic, Muggles will discover these giants sooner or later.
Speaking of which, this is also a kind of protection for giants, but if you help Voldemort... (To be continued)
