    Hagrid throws away the fruitcake.  Aki and Harry Ron quickly put on their invisibility cloaks and retreated to the corner.  Hagrid told them to hide, grabbed his bow and arrows, and yanked the door open again.  "Good evening, Hagrid." The visitor was Dumbledore. He walked in, looking extremely serious.  He was followed closely by another strange-looking man.  This stranger is a short, stout man with messy hair and an anxious expression. He wears strangely matched clothes: a pinstriped suit, a bright red tie, a black cloak and purple pointy shoes. He carries a  A light yellow-green hat.  "That's Dad's boss!" Ron gasped.  "Cornelly Fudge, Minister for Magic." Harry nudged Ron hard with his elbow to shut him up.  Hagrid became pale and sweaty.  He slumped into a chair and looked from Dumbledore to Cohen Liles.  "It's terrible, Hagrid," Cornelius Fudge said in a quick, clear, unemotional voice. "It's terrible. I have to come. Several attacks on non-wizards. Things have gone too far.  "The Ministry of Magic must take action." "I never," Hagrid looked at Dumbledore with pleading eyes, "You know I have never done this, Professor Dumbledore" "I hope.  You understand, Fudge, I have complete trust in Hagrid." Dumbledore frowned at Fudge.  "Albert, look." Fudge said a little uncomfortable. "Hagrid's record is not good for him. The Ministry of Magic must do something - the Hogwarts Board of Directors has contacted us." "But, Cornelius  Fudge, I'm telling you, taking Hagrid away won't do anything." Dumbledore's blue eyes burned with fire.  "In my opinion." Fudge fidgeted with his hat.  "I'm under a lot of pressure. I have to do something. If it turns out it's not Hagrid, he'll be put back. There's nothing to say. But I have to take him away. I have to. Do I have to do my duty -" "Take me away  ?" Hagrid trembled, "Take me where?" "Just a stretch." Liles didn't look into Hagrid's eyes. "This is not a punishment, Hagrid. It's just a precaution if we catch someone else.  , we will apologize to you and let you out" "Not Azkaban?" Hagrid said in a low, hoarse voice.  Another knock on the door preceded Cornelius Fudge's answer.  Dumbledore answered the door, and this time Harry was elbowed in the ribs as he gasped.  Lucius Malfoy strode into Hagrid's cabin.  He wrapped himself in a long black traveling cloak and wore a cold, satisfied smile on his face.  Yaya began to growl.  "Already here, Cornelius Fudge," Lucius agreed. "Very good, very well." "What are you doing here?" said Hagrid angrily.  "Get out of my house." "My dear, please believe me, I have no interest in staying in your - um - do you call this a house?" Lucius Malfoy looked around the room with a sneer.  Small secret room.  "I just called the school and was told that the Headmaster was here." "What do you want, Lucius Malfoy?" Dumbledore said, politely, but the flames were still there.  His blue eyes burned.  "A terrible thing, Dumbledore," said Mr. Malfoy lazily, taking out a long roll of parchment.  "But the Board of Directors has decided it's time to step aside." This is the suspension order - you can find all 12 signatures on it.  We feel like you're losing your old abilities.  How many attacks have there been so far?  There are two more this afternoon, aren't there?  At this rate, there will be no non-wizards left in Hogwarts.  We all know what a terrible loss this is for this school.  " "Oh, now, look here, Lucius Malfoy," Cornelius Fudge looked a little panicked, "Dumbledore suspected No, no, we just wanted to" "The appointment of the Headmaster or  Suspension meetings are all a matter for the board of directors, Korn Liles," Mr. Lucius Malfoy said calmly, "Since Dumbledore failed to stop these attacks" "Now, Lucius Malfoy, if  Dumbledore can't stop them¡ª" said Cohen Liles. His upper lip began to tremble. "I mean, who can?  " "It remains to be seen.  "Lucius said with a malicious smile. "But since we all voted in favor" Hagrid suddenly jumped up, and his disheveled black hair hit the ceiling. "Then before they agree, you knock againHow much was extorted?  he growled. "Dear, dear, you know your bad temper is going to get you into trouble one of these days, Hagrid."  Malfoy said, "I suggest you don't yell at the Azkban guards like you just did. They won't like you."  " "You can't take Dumbledore away!  shouted Hagrid. The male hound Fang was so frightened that he retreated into the basket and whimpered softly. "If you take him away, non-wizards will have no chance!"  What followed was a massacre!  " "Calm down, Hagrid," Dumbledore scolded. He looked at Lucius Malfoy. "If my superiors want to remove me from my post, I will naturally accept it.  "But¡ª" stammered Cornelius Fudge. "No," growled Hagrid. Dumbledore did not move his bright blue eyes from Lucius Malfoy's cold gray ones.  "However," Dumbledore said slowly and clearly so that no one missed a word, "you will find that I will only truly leave this school when no one here trusts me.  You'll also find that at Hogwarts, our students thrive in the face of difficulty.  They won't be knocked down by some difficulties, they even need difficulties!  "Ashe under the cloak squinted his eyes. He seemed to feel that Dumbledore was glancing here when he was speaking. "A respectable point of view.  Malfoy bowed. "We will all miss your - well - highly personal way of running things, Dumbledore."  Let's just hope your successor can find a way to prevent - ah - 'murder'.  " He strode to the wooden door, opened it, bowed and asked Dumbledore out. Cornelius Fudge fiddled with his hat, waiting for Hagrid to come in front of him. But Hagrid stood firm, took a deep breath, and then  Seriously, ¡°If anyone wants to find a clue, they just have to follow the spider.  That will take them in the right direction.  That's what I'm saying.  "Cornelly Fudge stared at him in surprise. "Okay, I'm going.  Hagrid put on his thick woolen chinos. But as he was about to follow Cornelius Fudge out the door he stopped again, and said loudly, "Tooth needs to be fed while I'm gone."  "The door slammed shut. Ron pulled off his invisibility cloak. "We're in trouble now.  He said sadly: "Without Dumbledore, they may close the school tonight. After he leaves, the attack will become once a day."  ¡± Yaya began to howl and claw at the closed door with his claws.
