Friday at 3pm outside Hogwarts Castle.

According to the original course arrangement of Hufflepuff Academy, Elena should appear at the Quidditch venue at this time and prepare to start the weekly flight class with the little wizards of Ravenclaw.

However, judging from the current situation, she obviously has to be absent from this week's flight class again - although in Mrs. Huo Qi's words, Elena actually no longer needs to take this course, and she flies better than most seventh-grade students.

"That... Professor Bins is okay?"

Standing on the long bridge in front of the gate of Hogwarts Castle, Elena glanced at Dumbledore, who was full of serious faces beside her and asked carefully, "I didn't expect it before, but after asking a few more questions, the professor would become weak..."

"This is not a question of whether it is good or not. Professor Binnes is now in a...well, a special state."

Dumbledore rubbed his eyebrows, shook his head helplessly, and sighed softly.

"You must have known so much about "Hogwarts, a School History". When Hogwarts was founded, Professor Binnes's magic history course was once known for its humor and interestingness, but it gradually became what it is after becoming a ghost."

Long time is the deadliest poison in the world.

Even the Nick Lemai couple are beginning to become tired of their lives, not to mention Professor Binz, whose existence is several times more than Nick Lemai's time. To use a more vivid metaphor, Professor Binz has taken the initiative to enter the low-power energy-saving mode before, and Elena's problems and behaviors just reactivated the old professor.

"If nothing unexpected happens, by the time Professor Bins returns next week, the history of magic may become interesting again. Thanks to Miss Caslana's help...but, try not to bother the old professor in the future."

Dumbledore said this and glanced at Erina meaningfully.

"I'm not just asking questions, but also some strange inductions and hints... The ghost is not truly immortal. In some cases, ghosts that cannot use magic are much more vulnerable than wizards."

Dumbledore has always been a little confused about how Professor Binnes discovered the Slytherin secret room.

From the ghost of Myrtle to the bathroom, from Salazar Slytherin's question to Professor Binnes' obsession, from Tom Riddle's abnormality to the descriptions of the basilica, even though all the evidence links form a closed-loop logic, Dumbledore's intuition can still clearly perceive the first promoter hidden behind the scenes.

"Hey hey, I'm worried about you."

Elena stuck out her tongue and smiled and shrank behind Gellert Grindelwald who was watching the show quietly next to her.

In fact, from the beginning she never thought of hiding Albus Dumbledore completely.

The biggest advantage of working with smart people is that as long as the goals and demands of both parties are consistent, many things can be passed in a silent tacit understanding - cleaning up the unstable factors in the school and helping Hager clean up the charges, these are all what Dumbledore hopes to see.

As for where Elena knew all this, it was not that important to Dumbledore.

Whether it comes from reasoning or the wonderful entanglement of the castle, some pure blood families related to Slytherin, and even the prophetic talent that may exist in the bloodline... As long as the three unbreakable oaths are still imprinted on the back of Elena's hand, the interests of the girl and Hogwarts will always be in the same camp.

"So, Albus, how long are we still standing here?"

Grindelwald raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look at Dumbledore with a hint of disdain on his face, "So many years have passed, and it seems that the Ministry of Magic still has a lot of room for improvement in the attitude towards you."

"Our view on this matter has always been different..."

Dumbledore shrugged without objection, took out his pocket watch from his pocket and took a look, "If nothing unexpected happens, they are already on the way - welcome to Hogwarts, Mr. Minister."

As the old wizard finished speaking, a short, fat and solid middle-aged witch appeared in front of the three of them.

Connelly Forge, now the British Minister of Magic, still matches his clothes with the same incomparable hodgepodge as before: pinstripe suits, bright red tie, long black cloak, purple pointed boots, dark green top hat, and a large roll of parchment under his arms.

"Oh, Professor Dumbledore, sorry, I might be a little late."

Connelly Forge said, raising the large roll of parchment under his arm and swung it, "You know, finding a document from decades ago and then having the members of Wiesengamo sign the reconsideration on it is a thankless errand."

Since the existence of the Slytherin Secret Room and the fact that there are traces of the Basilisk activity were found, the Ministry of Magic’s accusations against Hager more than ten years ago were naturally invalid, and it was natural to revoke the verdict.

"Thank you for your hard work, Connelly, and thank you all the gentlemen for your cooperation."

Dumbledore smiled and nodded, "At least in this way, there will be one less person in this world who suffers unjust injustice. Let's go quickly, otherwise Hagrid might be so anxious that she stomped the floor."

"This is what our Ministry of Magic should do." Connelly Forge nodded politely, glanced at Elena who was standing behind Mr. Otto, and asked in confusion, "But, this child..."

"This kid is Ruber Hager's friend and Hogwarts' chef. This time, there were some questions about ingredients that needed to be asked for help from Hager, so I just followed us."

Dumbledore waved his hand and explained naturally, "I don't think Hagrid would mind having one more person to share the joy together - you know, he has been waiting for this day for almost fifty years."

There is no doubt that 1942 was definitely the worst year of his life for Rube Hager.

During this year, the secret room was opened by Tom Riddle, who had not yet become a nostalgic monster, and he blamed the cause of Myrtle's death on Hager, which led to him being fired by Hogwarts and being forbidden to hold a magic wand again. In the same year, Hager also lost his father, which almost interrupted his path of learning magic.

If anyone in this school wants to discover the Slytherin secret room is Rube Hager.

At 3:05 pm, after finally waiting for Connelly Forge's pardon document, Elena and her "grandparents" left the castle and walked through the empty forest farm towards the small cabin in Hagrid.

A light rain just happened in the sky, showing an extremely refreshing light gray color, and the air was filled with a pleasant fragrance of grass. Elena turned her head and looked at the direction of the Quidditch Stadium on the other side of the castle. Now the flight class has begun at this time, and it seems that she is skipping classes in front of the principal.

Hagrid's cabin is located on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. In front of the door, a giant crossbow for hunting and guarding and a set of anti-slip rubber overshoes the size of a dolphin. Today, there is a small newly reclaimed vegetable field next to the cabin, which is a private vegetable garden dedicated to the Hogwarts faculty and staff.

According to normal circumstances, the three-headed dog Lu Wei will lie in the open space next to the vegetable garden to drive away crows and "vegetable thieves".

However, considering that the Minister of Magic Connelly Forge will come here today to visit, at Dumbledore's suggestion, Lu Wei temporarily returned to the castle and continued to guard the trap door leading to the Philosopher's Stone - after all, a three-headed Hell dog covered in blue fire may be a little too exciting for this Minister.

Although in Elena's opinion, there is actually nothing strange about this.

You should know that most farms and pastures in the non-magic world will also raise a few similar big dogs to help the owners guard the land and livestock, but the dogs in the magic world should be a little bigger.

After passing the lush vegetable garden, there is the small wooden house of Hagrid.

Elena saw Haigrid standing at the door of the cottage from a distance, like a hill, constantly looking towards this side.

Unlike usual, Hagrid did not wear his thick mole leather coat, but instead wore an oversized Gryffindor Academy wizard robe, although a little old but particularly well preserved. Over time, the golden red on it had already become dim and white, but the majestic Lion Courtyard emblem on Hagrid's chest was enough to illustrate what it was.

This was the first time that Elena saw this uneasy and expectant expression on Hagrid's face, just like the expressions of the first-year wizards at the beginning of the school branch. The little giant rubbed his hands nervously, and a hint of excitement could be seen on his dark face.

Different from the understatement of apology and erasing judgments in the original work.

Thanks to Elena's extra advice and Grindelwald's superb negotiations, this time Connelly Forge brought more than just a message of "suspect removal", but also a joint signature document from the Wisengamo Court, a wand license issued by the Ministry of Magic, and... a notice of resumption of school from Hogwarts School of Magic.

"Okay, okay, Hagrid, I don't think you want to hear any polite words anymore."

Connelly Forge quickly walked through the pile of gravel behind the vegetable garden, and smiled and waved the parchment in his hand at Hagrid.

"Although it may be decades later, from now on, you are once again a recognized official wizard. At the same time, if you don't mind, you can continue to complete your studies that you haven't finished at Hogwarts before...oh."

Before Foggy could finish his words, a huge black hunting dog jumped out from behind Hagrid, blocking in front of Hagrid with hostility, barking at the Minister of Magic who was approaching quickly.

"Yaya, don't be excited, don't be excited. They are good people this time."

After looking at Connelly Forge who was unable to move forward, Hagrid patted his forehead awkwardly, walked over and pulled the hound behind him, rubbed his hands hard, and his eyes like black beetles kept wandering on the roll of parchment in Forge's hand.

this time?!

Connelly Forge raised his eyebrows almost inaudible, selectively ignoring the offense in Hager's words.

"It's very rare, Hagrid." Fudge said in a crisp and quick tone, "You must know that this is almost unprecedented in the entire magic world. The Wiesengamor Court collectively signed and admitted the mistake, for a case decades ago, if it weren't for Professor Dumbledore's insistence, and the possible threats in this secret room..."

"So, have everything been found out? Mr. Minister, Professor."

Hagrid looked at Connelly Forge, then looked at Dumbledore, and asked expectantly.

"Have you found who did it back then?! If you need to identify or arrest me, I can!"

"I'm sorry, there is no news yet. This still needs help from the Ministry of Magic."

Dumbledore shook his head, a ray of light flashed in his blue eyes, and he said with a frown.

"But one thing is very clear, as...well, your life experience determines that you will definitely not be the one who opened the Slytherin secret room. As I have said over the years, I totally trust you."

"Oh, Rube, you have to understand one thing."

Connelly Forge said, glanced at Professor Dumbledore, casually playing with the top hat in his hand.

"That was fifty years ago. Now we can only tell that the real murderer was a descendant of Slytherin's bloodline. As for who he was, he is still slowly investigating - after all, the marriage relationship in the magic world is too complicated. Unless the murderer runs to us by himself, the hope is very slim..."

"Well, okay."

Hager nodded in a slump, took the parchment from Forgee's hand, opened it and looked carefully, and his tone became excited and clear again, "Then what I said above, I can get the wand again and join Hogwarts to continue my studies..."

"If you don't mind, Hagrid."

Dumbledore said with a smile, blinking flexibly, "And if I remember correctly, you still have four grades of courses that have not been completed, and of course a post-class assignment for Transformation has not been handed over to me... Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to take O.W.L.s."

"No, no, Professor Dumbledore, I do!"

Hagrid pulled out a large handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, sobbing with joy.

"Before my father passed away, I always wanted me to complete my studies at Hogwarts. Unfortunately, until he passed away, he left with great regret. Professor, I am really grateful..."

By the time he said this, Hagrid's eyes were filled with tears, and even the handkerchief was too late to wipe it - he never thought that he would have a day to rejoin Hogwarts.
