"Hagrid, do you remember what I told you?" John said with a faint smile, "Umbridge can't drive you away, you don't need to leave Hogwarts at all."

"I appreciate your kindness, Green." Hagrid forced a bitter smile and said, "But I have been fired..."

"That's right! Rubeus Hagrid has been fired. He is not qualified to stay in Hogwarts!"

Umbridge also stood up and sneered, "Green, don't think that you can cover the sky in Hogwarts just by having a little limelight before!

You are just a student!

And I am the Senior Investigator of Hogwarts!

Hogwarts, it’s up to me!”

John smiled and said:

"I don't think so, Umbridge, there are rules in everything."

"What I said are rules!" Umbridge held up the parchment document and said, "Look, it's written very clearly!

According to Educational Order No. 23, the Supreme Inquisitor of Hogwarts has the power to inspect, place on probation and dismiss any teacher who he - that is, I - deems not to meet the standards of the Ministry of Magic.

I think Rubeus Hagrid is unqualified!

So I can fire him!"

After saying this, Umbridge glanced at the students present with pride.

Everyone caught by her gaze lowered their heads in fear.

John is one of the very few exceptions.

He chuckled and shook his head:

"Of course you are right. As the top investigator, you have every right to fire professors. However, I'm afraid you don't have the right to expel them from the castle. This power probably... still belongs to the principal."

"You're using Dumbledore to pressure me?" Umbridge approached John and said fiercely, "Green, you don't really think Dumbledore has the guts to stop me, do you?

If you have the ability, pull Dumbledore over now and confront me!"

John didn't speak, just smiled and shook his head, his expression full of helplessness and contempt.

The next moment, Dumbledore's voice came from the direction of the stairs behind John.

"Since Professor Umbridge has asked so, then I will come and talk to you in person."

While talking, Dumbledore had slowly walked down the stairs and stood beside John.
