Lucius was prepared. Today he demanded the presence of the groundskeeper, Rubeus Hagrid. He brought it up to attention that Hagrid had been expelled without the board’s agreement and the rush decision of Headmaster Dippet and to the public, it would look like that the board and the current headmaster were incompetent. Today, the board would lift the expulsion and pay reparation for the injustice done by Armando Dippet.
