Chapter 1066： Beat

Chapter 1066: Beating

Hearing someone knocking on the door, Hagrid put down what he was doing in confusion, stood up and walked to the door, brushing aside his teeth that were scratching the door excitedly. After opening the wooden door, he looked at the familiar figure standing outside the door and greeted with a smile. Said: "It's Albert, come in, you haven't seen me for a long time."

Yaya swung his tail enthusiastically, tried to pounce on Albert, and wanted to stick out his tongue to lick Albert's cheek, but was suppressed by him touching his head.

"Hagrid, it's time for you to go!" Albert said without raising his head. His words made Hagrid, who was still smiling enthusiastically, suddenly freeze?

"What's wrong?" Hagrid slowed down in making tea for Albert, looked sideways at Albert who was chewing his teeth, and asked tentatively, "What happened?"

Hagrid knew very well that Albert would never say such words for no reason. Something bad must have happened, so the other party came to remind him.

"Umbridge's patience has probably reached its limit. You should know very well that after she drove away Principal Dumbledore, the situation between you and Firenze became very bad."

“Is that true?” Hagrid poured Albert a cup of hot tea and muttered, “That evil old witch. Ever since I came back, she has been trying to find an opportunity to drive me away.”

"Firenz's situation is better than yours. At least Umbridge won't touch him for the time being, but if you don't leave now..."

 “What will happen if we don’t leave?” Hagrid asked curiously.

"Then I'm afraid you'll have to go to Azkaban Prison for a few months." Albert handed the snacks specially prepared for dogs to Yaya, looked up at the slightly uneasy Hagrid, and reminded, " Umbridge and Fudge have always been interested in where Dumbledore is hiding, even more than catching the escaped Death Eaters."

"They think I know where Dumbledore is?" Hagrid's eyes widened in disbelief. "They want to force me to reveal Dumbledore's whereabouts?"

 “Well, that’s pretty much it.” Albert glanced at the pocket watch in his hand.

"I wonder what those idiots have in their heads?" Hagrid said contemptuously: "They actually thought I would betray Dumbledore."

"They suspect any wizard who is close to Dumbledore, including you, Professor McGonagall and Potter." Probably noticing Hagrid's mood changes, Albert comforted: "You should worry about yourself more than Potter. , Potter is smarter than you, he can solve his own problems, but you are different. Umbridge hates, even "hates" any "half-breed", I mean you, Lupin, and Faeron. Ze, she thinks you guys are dangerous. Judging from that guy's drafting of the "Anti-Werewolf Act" in 1993 and his behavior as a professor, you'd better not have any expectations. As long as she asks someone to give you more Veritaserum, you'll be fine. I can easily pry your mouth open, even if it does great harm to people."

Hagrid opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn’t know what to say.

"Not long ago, Nearly Headless Nick told me that Umbridge hoped that Cornelius Fudge could sign the education order to expel Peeves." Albert ignored the frustration on Hagrid's face and continued, "I think wizards have done that throughout the ages, but they didn't succeed in driving Peeves away."

"I heard that Peeves has been causing trouble for Umbridge." Hagrid seemed to feel a lot better when he talked about this.

Sure enough, watching Umbridge suffer misfortune can always bring happiness to many people.

"Don't be too happy Hagrid," Albert raised his eyebrows in warning, "Maybe Umbridge's action to expel Peeves is doomed to fail, but that guy's asking for help from a bunch of Aurors is definitely not just targeting Peeves. She would never mind letting those Aurors help her eliminate other troubles in Hogwarts so that she can better control Hogwarts."

Albert closed his pocket watch with a "snap" and took out a bag from his robe pocket and placed it on the table in front of Hagrid. "You have a quarter of an hour. Take it and your wand with you, Auror at the Ministry of Magic." Get out of here before you arrive, trust me, if you are surrounded by a group of Aurors, you won't even have a chance to escape."

After Albert cast a spell to eliminate traces of his visit, he stopped at the door and said: "Remember to bring your umbrella. I think you don't want the Aurors to discover your secret, and don't worry about using magic. They You won’t know, and you’d better act quickly.”

"Remember, they can always find an excuse to throw you into prison, don't have any expectations." Albert did not stay any longer to avoid giving Hagrid the wrong impression. The new mission was to help Hagrid escape capture. Although the reward was relatively small, Average, but the advantage is that the task is relatively easy to complete.

 “That’s... terrible!”

Hagrid looked away, reached out to pick up the bag and stuffed it into his coat pocket. Then he picked up the umbrella in the corner and called Shang Ya to leave the hunting lodge in a hurry.

Hagrid would have wanted to leave Hogwarts temporarily if it were not for Grawp. He knew that Umbridge had always wanted to find an opportunity to fire him in front of the entire school.

Just, what would poor Graup do if he left school now?

Albert's arrival made Hagrid realize the seriousness of the problem. With Albert's character, he definitely had a premonition of something bad happening, so he asked him to leave school as soon as possible.

In fact, not long after Hagrid left, Umbridge appeared outside the hunting lodge with a group of Aurors.

Umbridge planned to use this opportunity to solve Hagrid's problem. She always believed that the big man must be hiding some ulterior secrets.

"he's not here."

　　 Delis looked at the hunting lodge through the window and found that there was no one inside.

Several Aurors looked at each other, used the unlocking spell to open Hagrid's hunting lodge, and looked at the empty room. Gadwin reached out and touched the kettle on the table and expressed his judgment, "Maybe, he went out for something."

"No, I think he might have known we were coming, and maybe someone leaked the news." An Auror pointed to the parchment taped on the table, which read: I know you want the Auror to catch me, but I don't I'll give you a chance. —Hagrid.

Of course, the parchment was left by Albert, just to remind Umbridge and to add some anger to the toad.

"Damn... Hagrid must know where Dumbledore is hiding!" Umbridge gritted her teeth and tore up the parchment in her hand, turning to look at Gadwin Robards, "Can you track him?"

"It's possible." Gadwin Robards glanced at Umbridge and said, "But it's very time-consuming, and it may not be successful. It's best not to have too much hope."

"Don't worry, madam, Hagrid can't use magic. We will definitely find and catch him." Delis assured him by patting his chest.

"Don't forget his bloodline, Delis." Gadwin glanced at his colleagues and reminded, "You'd better bring more people with you, and don't expect Hagrid to catch him without any help and knock him out. Just go back."

"Of course I remember, don't worry, leave it to me, ma'am, I promise to send Hagrid to Azkaban."

"Hagrid is just a suspect now, not a prisoner. Before confirming his crime, you need to control your sense of proportion." Gadwin frowned and reminded.

Umbridge raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at Gadwin, but didn't say anything.

Half of the Aurors were divided into following Delis to hunt down Hagrid, while the other half followed Umbridge into the castle to deal with Peeves' problem. In order not to make the same mistake again, Umbridge took them in personally.

If Albert Anderson dares to jump out and stop her, she will let the opponent understand that being a duel champion is nothing special.

However, Umbridge did not know that everything that happened after she entered Hogwarts with the Aurors was under Albert's watch.

A quarter of an hour ago, Albert, who was taking a Transfiguration class, suddenly noticed that the wrist rope on his wrist seemed to be faintly hot.

There are several gems of various styles strung on the rope. Each gem has a unique purpose. One of them is a tool he uses to communicate with himself in an emergency.

 That's right, use it with yourself.

 After using the time turner, it is better not to meet each other, but there is no problem in sending messages.

 When the gemstone on the wrist rope provides you with an early warning, it means that something has happened.

 Albert used the atlas to figure out the situation right away.

　　 even saw Umbridge leading a group of Aurors into Hagrid's hunting lodge, but Hagrid had already left early.

As for the new mission, Umbridge will send people to hunt down Hagrid.

Albert was not worried about Hagrid being caught at all, because he believed that he could help Hagrid get rid of the annoying group of pursuers.

Perhaps, they were all wiped out as soon as they left Hogwarts.

 In fact, Delis and his group did run into trouble when they used the tracking spell to follow the traces left by Hagrid.

 It should be said that as soon as they left Hogwarts, they were attacked shamefully.

Two red lights appeared out of thin air without warning, and the two Aurors at the back were directly knocked down by the spell.

"Damn it, we were attacked by surprise, Savage and Williamson fell." Tonks heard the sound of falling and shouted quickly.

She was originally thinking about how to delay Hagrid's time, but now it seemed that she had no problem. Just now, someone launched a sneak attack from behind when they were unprepared.

 Quietly, without any warning.

 “Where is the enemy? I don’t see anyone.”

　　After two companions fell down without warning, the Aurors who were trying their best to track Hagrid had to stop and be vigilant to guard against spells that might strike at any time.

 Albert did not try any more sneak attacks, but secretly observed the level of the Aurors.

They form a defensive formation as soon as they encounter a sneak attack, and use collective strength to resist attacks that may come from anywhere at any time. It is not difficult to see that these Aurors are indeed well-trained, but that's all.

"The enemy is invisible, force him out." Delis waved his wand and shouted loudly, "The human form appears."

Several manifestation spells swept across the surroundings, and a figure emerged from the void.

 “The enemy is there, I see him!”

 I don’t know who shouted, and then I saw a disarming curse flying towards me.

 “Stop looking down on others.”

The Auror blocked two disarming spells in a row, but was directly hit by the third stun spell and fainted.

  The Aurors could not clearly see the appearance of the sneak attacker, because they could only see a very vague outline of a human figure.

Delix really couldn't understand why the Humanoid Revealing Spell didn't completely expose the opponent, but he didn't have the heart to explore these problems, because the enemy didn't seem to care about his exposure and had already launched another attack on them.

  The Aurors' spells failed, and the enemies in front disappeared without warning.

“Apparition, that person is nearby.”

 “I see him, on the left.”

 “He disappeared again.”

 “Damn it, who is this guy!”

 Seeing his own attack being lightly blocked by the other side, Delis felt a strong sense of frustration and powerlessness in his heart.

 Because his colleagues were being knocked down easily, using spells they were familiar with.

Whether it was the Stunning Curse, the Disarming Curse, or the Iron Armor Curse, the guy opposite was extremely skillful in using it. In conjunction with the Apparition, he could always easily block the Aurors' attacks, seize the opportunity to disarm their wands, or knock people out. , it’s just like a rough and tumble game between adults and children.

 “Damn, damn.”

 Watching his colleagues being knocked down by the stun spell one by one, until he was the only one left, Delis felt extremely humiliated.

 He knows that he is no match for the opponent.

 He also knew he needed more help.

 So, Delis planned to find reinforcements. If they were really knocked unconscious by that guy here, then they would probably become the laughing stock of the entire magic world.

 Before Delis apparated and left, he waved his wand to create a defensive barrier to buy himself time.

However, in just a moment, Delis was shocked to find that his defensive barrier was actually shattered. A spell hit his chest at an alarming speed, leaving Delis who had originally tried to apparate in place.

 “You bastard…”

Delix was hit by the coma spell, fell heavily to the ground, and passed out directly.

"It's worse than expected. Is it because of the sneak attack?"

Albert quickly denied this. Maybe it was because of the sneak attack, but Aurors are not specialized in fighting. Their level may be higher than most wizards, but they are still a little behind those wizards who participated in the duel competition. Maybe they More emphasis is placed on tacit cooperation.

 At least, it performs well in dealing with emergencies.

With one last glance at the Auror lying on the ground, Albert apparated directly and left the scene of the crime. He needed to find a place to remove his disguise and return to Hogwarts.

As for Hagrid's problem, the Aurors couldn't find him for a while.

 The next thing is what happened in the castle, but he doesn't need to worry about that, or he doesn't need to worry about it now.

After reappearing at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Albert waved his wand to remove the disguise on his body. After his hair, face and clothes were completely new, under the cover of the Disillusionment Curse, he walked towards Hagrid's hunting lodge. Where would he wait? The matter was completely settled.
