Retirement from Hogwarts

But Hagrid sobbed harder after hearing Hermione's words. He shook his huge hands and motioned for Jack to continue reading.

However.We must express our concern for this problematic Hippogriff.We have decided to uphold Ms Narcissa Malfoy's formal complaint and the matter will therefore be referred to the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures Committee.A hearing will be held at the Commission's London office on April [-], and we will ask you and your Hippogriff to attend on that date.During this period, the hippogriff should be tethered and isolated.your colleague. . . . . .At the bottom is a long list of school board members.

"This..." Hermione couldn't help but froze in place after hearing the rest of what Jack read. She didn't know what to say about this document that was even signed by a representative of the mutual aid association's board of directors.

Jack looked at the document and shook his head helplessly. Since this document bypassed them, it meant that the mutual aid association did not want them to interfere in this matter.

"Oh, Hagrid," Hermione comforted feebly: "But you said Buckbeak wasn't an evil hippogriff, Hagrid. I bet he'll be fine -"

"You don't understand those weirdos from the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures!" Hagrid interrupted her with a choked sob, wiping his tears with his sleeve, "They got involved with these interesting animals!"

A voice suddenly came from the corner of Hagrid's hut, and Jack and Hermione quickly turned their eyes over.Buckbeak, the hippogriff, was lying in the corner of the room, chewing something, causing blood to flow everywhere on the floor.

"I can't tie it with a rope in the snow!" Hagrid choked. "All alone! Big Christmas!"

Then Hermione looked at each other.They had never seen Hagrid face to face with what Hagrid called a "funny animal" and others called a "terrible monster."Buckbeak, on the other hand, doesn't seem to mean any harm.In fact, by Hagrid's usual standards, it's certainly endearing.

"You must prepare a strong defense, Hagrid." Although Hermione Mogami said this, she also understood in her heart that in the eyes of those bureaucrats, all non-human races have no human rights, and as long as they hurt people, they will die. One piece. "I'm sure you can prove that Buckbeak can't hurt anyone."

"That's useless!" Hagrid sobbed, "Those demons who disposed of the committee, they are all in the control of that female demon Narcissa Malfoy! Afraid of him! If I lose the case, Buckbeak -"

Hagrid quickly drew his fingers across his throat, then whined and fell to the side, burying his face in his arms.

Jack couldn't help but sigh when he saw Hagrid's actions, and then asked about Hagrid's last life-saving straw. "What did Dumbledore say, Hagrid?"

"He's done enough for me," Hagrid groaned. "It's hard enough just keeping those dementors out of the castle, with Sirius Black wandering around."

Jack and Hermione looked at each other after hearing Hagrid's words, but did not say anything about their speculation about Black.

"Look, Hagrid," Jack said, "you can't give up. Hermione's right, you have to prepare a defense. You can call Harry and Neville as witnesses.

.Harry still had a lot of face in front of those people.As for the media, I will help. "

"I did some research when it first happened, and I'm sure I read about a Hippogriff bait case," Hermione mused. "In that case, the Hippogriff was fine. . Let me do it for you, Hagrid. Once you find it, study it carefully to find out what happened."

Hagrid howled louder at their words.

Finally, after they promised to help several times, Hagrid blew his nose on a handkerchief as big as a tablecloth and said, "You're right. I can't collapse. I must cheer up."

"I haven't been feeling right lately," Hagrid said, stroking Fang with one hand and his face with the other. "Worried about Buckbeak, and no one likes my lessons."

"We do!" Hermione lied immediately.

"Yes, your class is great!" Jack said against his will, "Oh, by the way, what happened to those Florob caterpillars we raised before?"

"Dead," said Hagrid gloomily. "Too much lettuce."

Jack's face froze after hearing Hagrid's words, and he was obviously choked to death by Hagrid's ruthless answer.

"Those damn dementors also upset me," Hagrid said, suddenly trembling. "Every time I want to go to the Three Broomsticks for a drink, I have to walk past them. It's like I'm back in Az. Like Caban. There is no place in the world as scary as that. I thought I was going crazy for a few days there. I kept thinking about terrible things. The day I was expelled from Hogwarts. The day my dad died. The day I had to let Norbert go."

Hagrid said that his eyes were filled with tears. "After staying there for a while, you don't know who you are. And you don't know what the meaning of living is. I often wish I could sleep to death. When they let me out, I seemed to live again. , everything came to mind, it was the most wonderful feeling in the world. Remember, the dementors didn’t want to let me go.”

"But you are not guilty!" said Hermione.

Hagrid snorted in anger at Hermione's words. "Do you think those dementors will pay attention to this? They don't care. To them, all the prisoners are their lunch, and they don't want any lunch to be taken away. As long as it is human, they can These people's happiness is completely sucked away, and they don't care whether you are really guilty or not."

Hagrid was quiet for a while, staring at his hands that were shaking since he mentioned Azkaban.Then he said calmly: "I thought about letting Buckbeak go... and letting him fly away. But how can you explain to a Hippogriff that it should hide? And - and I'm afraid of breaking the law. ." He looked up at them, tears streaming down his face again. "I don't want to go back to Azkaban."

I have to say that today’s trip to Hagrid’s hut was really not an interesting thing.The Bakobik incident, which was originally thought to be just a minor problem, has deviated from Jack's expected trajectory and slipped in an uncontrollable direction.At the same time, he was reminded that not everything will develop according to his speculation. It will still be very troublesome once those big families who are stubborn and unyielding become hysterical.
