The Twins Who Lived

Fudge

Harry and Ron knocked on hagrid's door, their fist looking in the air, the rest of their bodies unseen under the cloak. "Who's there?  Hello? Hello?" Hagrid asked, his crossbow raised as he opened the door, harry and Ron removed the cloak, hagrid lowered his crossbow "What's that for?" Ron asked, staring at the crossbow. "Oh, nothing, I was expecting, uh... it doesn't matter. Come on in, I just made a pot of tea. " hagrid said distantly

"Where's the snakes? Or Onyx and noir? " lily asked, confused, "Apollo and Hermes were guarding Hermione's bed, keeping her safe, as for Onyx and noir, they were sent with Dahlia and Blaise since the two were going into the forest first" harry explained

" Hagrid, are you okay?" Harry asked concerned, his hands were shaking as he poured the tea "I'm fine. I'm all right." Hagrid said, setting the tea pot down, "Di-did you hear about Hermione?" Harry asked, stuttering slightly as he thought of their friend, petrified in the infirmary. "Oh yeah. I heard about that all right." Hagrid said sadly, "Look, we have to ask you something. Do you know who's opened the Chamber of Secrets?" Harry asked, gathering his gryffindor courage, "What you have to understand about that is..." Hagrid began, getting cut off as someone knocked on his door, immediately Harry put the cloak over himself and Ron, moving to the corner of the room. Hagrid opened the door revealing Dumbledore and the minister, Cornelius Fudge "Oh, Professor Dumbledore, sir." Hagrid said, moving to let them in "That's dad's boss, Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic." Ron whispered to Harry.

"Me! " A much younger Cornelius exclaimed, jumping up from his seat, the future group looked at him and burst out into laughter, his pimples face reminded them of some of the toys the twins had made "I told you he was a Slytherin! " Dahlia wheezed, holding onto her husband for support "dear Merlin, we actually got it spot on " Fred said in between laughter, Cornelius shrunk down in his seat, glaring at them, "it'll be explained in year 5" Ginny explained, unable to hide her smile as she looked at the hall.

"Bad business, Hagrid. Very bad business. Had to come. Three attacks on Muggle-borns. Things have gone far enough. The Ministry's got to act." fudge said, shaking his head, "But I never... you know I never, Professor!" Hagrid said immediately, "I want it understood, Cornelius, that Hagrid has my full confidence." Dumbledore said, "Albus, look, Hagrid's record is against him. I've got to take him." Fudge said with a sigh, "Take me? Take me where? Not Azkaban Prison?" Hagrid said fearfully, "I'm afraid we have no choice, Hagrid." fudge said.

"That isn't correct, he would have been taken to a holding cell to pend for a trial" Alastor said, the future group glared at fudge "the ministry had to be seen doing something" Dahlia spat, fudge flinched under their glares.

"The door opened again, this time to reveal, Lucius Malfoy "Already here, Fudge? Good." Lucius said, "What are you doing here? Get out of my house!" Hagrid demanded, "Believe me, I take absolutely no pleasure being inside your... You call this a house? No, I simply called up the school and was told the headmaster was here." Lucius said, disgust showing on his face "And what exactly is it that you want with me?" Dumbledore asked, his eyebrow raised, "The other governors and I have decided it's time for you to step aside, This is an order of suspension. You'll find all twelve signatures on it. I'm afraid we feel you've rather lost your touch, and what with all these attacks, there'll be no Muggle-borns left at Hogwarts. I can only imagine what an awful loss that would be to the school. " lucius said, his voice dripping with insincerity.

"Wait until the end of the movie! " Dahlia yelled, seeing the murderous looks being thrown at her uncle

"You can't take Professor Dumbledore away. Take him away and the Muggle-borns won't stand a chance. You mark my words, there'll be killings next!" Hagrid said panicked, "You think so?" Lucius asked smugly, "Calm yourself, Hagrid. If the governors desire my removal, I will, of course, step aside. However, you will find that help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it." Dumbledore said, before looking straight at the spot harry and Ron were.

"You knew! You knew what was harming the students! You knew my son was I  there! And you didn't stop him! " lily demanded, momentarily forgetting that the actions were done by a future Dumbledore, "easy mama, year 4,explains it all" Dahlia said, trying to calm her mother down.

"Admirable sentiments. Shall we?" Lucius said, "Come, Hagrid. Well?" Fudge said, "If, um, if anybody was looking for some stuff, then all they'd have to do would be to follow the spiders. Yep, that'd lead 'em right. That's all I have to say, Oh, and someone will need to feed Fang while I'm away." Hagrid said before leaving, fudge followed, closing the door. "Hagrid's right. With Dumbledore gone, there'll be an attack a day!" Ron said in worry, pulling off the cloak, "Look. let's go, I'm sure Dahlia is just going to love this" harry said, pointing to the spiders, he knew his sister was going to be mad when she finds out what happened with hagrid.
