Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 375 Hagrid escapes another disaster

Hearing Umbridge's voice, Harry and the other two hurriedly got under the invisibility cloak.

Hagrid opened the door somewhat puzzled.

"So... you are Hagrid?" Umbridge asked in her usual girlish voice.

"Yes," Hagrid replied very enthusiastically, "that's me. Who are you?"

"I am Dolores Umbridge, this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor..."

"Ah, hello, Professor Umbridge," said Hagrid cheerfully, "Welcome to my place. Would you like to come in and have a cup of tea?"

Umbridge acted as if she hadn't heard him and continued, "Part-time High Inquisitor of Hogwarts."

Hagrid's voice was a little confused, "I'm sorry... advanced what?"

"High Inquisitor!" Umbridge emphasized, "I heard that you taught Care of Magical Creatures for a while, right?"

Hagrid should have realized that this so-called investigator was not here to "visit relatives", and his tone lost its previous enthusiasm, "You are well-informed, but not well-informed enough. Obviously, I am no longer well-informed now!

And the real Care of Magical Creatures professor is right there!"

Hagrid moved aside enough for Umbridge to see Sainz in the hut, and her face changed drastically.

Before the other party could speak, Sainz took the initiative to greet, "Hello, Professor Umbridge." At the same time, he made a subtle gesture to indicate that he should not be surprised.

Umbridge kept her promise. Although her face changed drastically, she was not so nervous that she couldn't speak. Her voice was calm. "Hi, hello, Professor Autumn. I didn't know you were here."

Sainz said calmly, "As a friend, Hagrid is back, so of course I have to come and see him."

Umbridge's expression changed again, "Of course, of course, friends should visit often... so..." She turned to Hagrid and said, "... since you have a guest, I won't bother you."

Then he looked past Hagrid and said to Sainz inside, "I'm sorry to interrupt your sex talk. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. Goodbye, Professor Autumn!"

Umbridge didn't move immediately after she said goodbye, but Sainz didn't let her move in vain. After she said goodbye, she also responded; "Goodbye!"

After hearing Sainz's answer, Umbridge nodded to Hagrid, then turned around and left quickly without looking back.

After a little thought, Sainz roughly understood Umbridge's thoughts.

The other party probably thought that Sai had a bad relationship with Hagrid, so he wanted to cause trouble for Hagrid.

Hagrid used to teach Care of Magical Creatures, and now Sainz is the professor of the course. Apparently Umbridge thought that Hagrid, whose job was taken away, must have a bad relationship with Sainz.

It is impossible for the other party not to know that Hagrid is no longer a professor. As a senior investigator, her main responsibility is "education reform". Hagrid, who is no longer a professor, should not be the target of the other party's attack.

However, her more important task was to cause trouble for Dumbledore, and as we all know, Hagrid was a die-hard supporter of Dumbledore.

In the original trajectory, Umbridge finally chose two targets, one was Trelawney and the other was Hagrid.

A careful analysis will reveal that these two people were not chosen randomly.

One made the famous prophecy, the other was Dumbledore's fanboy.

The two have one thing in common: they are both professors hired by Dumbledore.

And what about the others?

The others either have a very weak presence, pose no threat, are well-entrenched in Hogwarts, or are Umbridge's "hidden allies".

The simplest and most effective way for Fudge to deal with Dumbledore is to turn Harry Potter into a vain liar, and preferably take away the halo of "savior".

In addition to daily slander in newspapers, the way to remove the halo of savior is to fundamentally deny the prophecy of that year, which is also a move to cut off the source of the problem.

If Trelawney, who made the prophecy back then, was just a liar, then the prophecy was just a lie, Harry's identity as the savior was just a joke, and the credibility of his words plummeted.

Although Umbridge seems to be messing around in her capacity as an investigator and acting like a clown, in fact, she has never forgotten her mission in coming to Hogwarts. She is not really here to carry out educational reform, but to help Fudge eliminate political opponents.

Sai more or less agrees with her ability to grasp the key points of the problem. Of course, she also has her own huge shortcomings, which is that she becomes arrogant when she has a little power. If she can restrain her arrogance, the harm may be much greater.

The target she chose this time was probably the same as the original one. She also regarded Trelawney and Hagrid as a breakthrough point. However, she obviously misjudged the situation. She didn't expect that Sai and Hagrid were actually friends!

Arrogant at first and respectful later, this is exactly what this situation is about.

The first sentence she said, "Are you Rubeus Hagrid?" was obviously looking for trouble.

Hagrid had been at Hogwarts for more than fifty years, and Umbridge was obviously not that old, so she was not so unfamiliar with Hagrid.

After Umbridge left, Hagrid closed the door with a puzzled look on his face, and Harry and the other two also lifted their invisibility cloaks with puzzled looks on their faces.

Harry said puzzledly, "I don't know... I don't know when Umbridge became so easy to talk to."

"Maybe she's turned over a new leaf?" Ron speculated.

Hermione said nothing and cast a suspicious look at Sainz.

Sainz met her gaze and smiled mysteriously.

Ron went on to say, "But this guess is too far-fetched...Hagrid, you have to be careful, Umbridge is the senior investigative officer."

"Can anyone explain this?" Hagrid said to the people present. "Can anyone tell me what this senior investigator does?"

"It's a Ministry of Magic conspiracy," Hermione explained. "They're interfering in the affairs of Hogwarts, and Umbridge is here to carry it out."

"So, what exactly does a Senior Investigator do?"

"Don't you understand, Hagrid?" Hermione said angrily, "Umbridge was sent to interfere in the school. Fudge gave her the power to investigate other professors and decide whether they stay or go!"

"Impossible!" Hagrid shouted. "Dumbledore won't allow that!"

"And that's what happened!" Harry said after a pause. "Dumbledore let her in."

Hagrid seemed a little unable to accept this, "How dare Fudge do this to Dumbledore!"

Harry began to worry about Hagrid, knowing that he admired Dumbledore the most. However, Ron said, "It's a little unbelievable, but I think Umbridge seems to have a different attitude towards Hagrid."

Hermione glanced at Ron, then glanced at Sainz cryptically, "Don't worry too much about Harry... maybe... I mean, Hagrid is... isn't teaching now, maybe she won't come to deal with him..."
