HAGRID: Who's there? Hello? Hello? HARRY: What's that for? HAGRID: Oh, nothing. I, I was expecting... it doesn't matter. Come on in. Just made a pot of tea. HARRY: Hagrid? Are you okay? HAGRID: I'm fine. I'm all right. HARRY: Did you hear about Hermione? HAGRID: Oh, yeah. I heard about that alright. HARRY: Look, we have to ask you something. Do you know who's opened the Chamber of Secrets? HAGRID: What you have to understand... Quickly, under the cloak. Don't say a word. Be quiet. Both you. Professor Dumbledore, sir. DUMBLEDORE: Good evening, Hagrid. I wonder could we? HAGRID: Of course. Come in, come in. RON: That's Dad's boss! Cornelius Fudge. Minister of Magic! FUDGE: Bad business, Hagrid. Very bad business. Had to come. Three attacks on Muggle-borns. Things've gone far enough. The Ministry's got to act. HAGRID: I've been never... You know I never, Professor. DUMBLEDORE: I want it understood, Cornelius, that Hagrid has my full confidence. FUDGE: Albus, look, Hagrid's record is against him. I've got to take him. HAGRID: Take me? Take me where? Not Azkaban prison. FUDGE: I'm afraid you have no choice, Hagrid. LUCIUS MALFOY: Already here, Fudge? Good. HAGRID: What're you doing here! Get outta my house! LUCIUS MALFOY: Believe me, I take absolutely no pleasure of being inside your -- you call this a house? Now, I simply called at the school and was told the Headmaster was here. DUMBLEDORE: And what exactly is it, that you want with me? LUCIUS MALFOY: The other governors and I've 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 have rather lost your touch. With all these recent attacks, there'll be no Muggle-borns left at Hogwarts. And we can all imagine what an awful loss that would be. HAGRID: You can't take Professor Dumbledore away! Take him away the Muggle-borns won't stand a chance! You mark my words. There'll be killings next! LUCIUS MALFOY: Do you think so? DUMBLEDORE: 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. LUCIUS MALFOY: Admirable sentiments. Shall we? Forge. FUDGE: Come, Hagrid, now. HAGRID: If, if anybody was looking for some stuff, all they'd have to do would be to follow the spiders. Yah. That'd lead them right! That's all I have to say. 妙语佳句，活学活用 1.
