Start from the beginning
                                    

"Professor Dumbledore, sir!" Hagrid said in surprised tone.

"Good Evening, Hagrid.. I wonder, could we?" Dumbledore's voice came

"Of course, come in, come in" Hagrid gestured the guest inside

"That's dad's boss!!" Ron whispered "Cornelius Fudge, Minister Of Magic" Ron continued when he saw him entering the room.

"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 explained

"But I never..you know I never, professor." Hagrid said pleadingly

"I want it understood, Cornelius...that Hagrid...has my full confidence" Dumbledore said sternly

"Albus, look, Hagrid's record is against him.. I've got to take him" Fudge replied

"Take me??? Take me where?? Not Azkaban prison!" Hagrid said in disbelief. Harry and Ron looked at each other standing behind Y/n. 

"I'm afraid we have no choice, Hagrid" Fudge said looking down. There was a knock on the door. It was none other than Lucius Malfoy.

"Already here, Fudge? Good" Malfoy said 

"What are you doing here? Get out of my house!!" Hagrid said angrily

"Believe me..." Malfoy walked towards the corner where Harry, Y/n and Ron were standing making them stepped back "I take absolutely no pleasure being inside your..." Malfoy made a disgust face "You call this a house?" 

"No.. I simply called up the school and was told the Headmaster was here" Malfoy turned to Dumbledore

"well, what exactly is it that you want with me?" Dumbledore asked

"The other Governors and I have decided its time for you to step aside" Malfoy said. Dumbledore raised an eyebrow at him "This is an order of suspension" Malfoy said walking towards Dumbledore with a parchment roll in his hands. Fudge tried to grab it but Dumbledore stopped it.

"You'll find all 12 signatures on it" Malfoy said and when Dumbledore was about to take the roll a voice stopped him. Say a familiar voice stopped him.

"Its 11 signatures, my poor rotten friend!!" Said a person outside the door. Y/n swore that the voice was really familiar. The person walked inside and Y/n gasped

 "What is he doing here---" Y/n gasped making Harry and Ron cover her mouth. It was none other than Eric Kim

"My dear Malfoy.. Did you forgot I never agreed to this decision.." Eric grinned and Lucius started at him

"Just one disagreement won't change anything" Malfoy said glaring at Eric who smiled at him innocently.

"I'm afraid it certainly will... My regards to you, Professor" Eric bowed to Dumbledore, he smiled and bowed back.

"Continuing.. We are afraid we feel you've rather lost your touch" Malfoy said making both Eric and Dumbledore stared at him with expression that said 'really?'

"Well, 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" Malfoy said hiding his smile

"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 angrily

"You think so?" Malfoy said to Hagrid

"Now, Now, Hagrid.." Eric Patted Hagrid "That's what I'm here for... I was sent to inspect the school just to be sure that the only person who can stop these attacks is safe" Eric said glancing at Malfoy
