Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 760 Bitten by a dog

  Hagrid lost the lawsuit, completely in Albert's expectation, and this incident did not bring any disturbance to his campus life.

  Potter came to him several times to discuss ways to save Buckbeak, but Albert always dismissed Buckbeak with "Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it".

   As for how to deal with it, it's none of Harry's business.

  Albert's distrust annoyed Harry and Ron, but they couldn't think of a way to save Buckbeak. Even Hermione was desperate and had no confidence in letting Hagrid win the lawsuit.

   Moreover, Hermione also warned the two of them not to care about this matter, and not to mention it outside, so as not to cause trouble for Hagrid, and even directly kill Buckbeak.

  So, even though Harry and Ron were angry about it at first, they didn't get carried away by the anger. They couldn't save Buckbeak, and they couldn't bear the burden of killing Buckbeak because of their own reasons. Therefore, they can only trust him now, and believe that Albert can help Hagrid solve this matter perfectly.

   "Continue to appeal?" Ron asked puzzled.

   "Yes, is this what Albert meant?" Hermione explained: "Albert thinks that Hagrid should not give up the opportunity to continue appealing. Even if he knows he will lose, he must continue the above until he fails completely."

   "But...why?"

  Harry couldn't understand, since Albert had a solution to the problem, why wasted effort?

   "He thinks that the Malfoy family spent a lot of Galleons to buy the wizards of the committee, maybe they should spend more Galleons."

  Actually, Hermione knew Albert's intention, which was to make Malfoy spend more money to bribe other wizards, and also to show an appearance of doing his best to confuse everyone.

   "I see, I will continue to appeal." Hagrid agreed with Albert's proposal, and believed that the other party would not harm him.

   "But... will it really work?" Ron asked dryly.

   "Albert is still very reliable, and what he taught me is actually very useful." Hagrid recalled, "I drank a large glass of tranquilizers before going to fight this lawsuit."

  Hagrid began to tell what happened the previous few days:

Last Friday, Hagrid took Buckbeak to London on the scheduled knight bus. The Hippogriff caused a commotion on the bus. Finally, with the help of the employees of the Ministry of Magic, Hagrid successfully transported Buckbeak to London. Buckbeak brought into the Ministry of Magic.

  The trial took place in the courtroom on the tenth basement floor of the Ministry of Magic, and the Committee on the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures heard the matter.

"Albert told me that when the Hogwarts board of directors handed over the accident to the Dangerous Animals Committee, they had completely given up on Buckbeak." Hagrid said very Angry, "They don't care about the death of the Hippogriff at all. Professor Dumbledore has no good way to do this."

   "Perhaps, he predicted it."

  Harry remembered that Albert was good at prophecy, and it would not be surprising if he saw a solution to the problem from the prophecy.

   "For Albert, there is no need to bother to predict some things at all, and the result can be guessed only by speculation."

  Hermione knows Albert's ability. She hasn't given up divination yet, but she actually hopes that she can learn something useful.

  Although it may not be divination, it is also an improvement to learn useful knowledge.

  After the court session, Hagrid has been replying according to Albert's suggestion. People from the Committee of Everything asked him questions, and he put the questions on Malfoy.

"I told the committee that Buckbeak is just a magical creature, he has been domesticated, and he will not attack students rashly. This matter is entirely Malfoy's problem. If you did this and got bitten by a dog, can you still blame that dog for biting you?"

   "This metaphor is really appropriate." Hermione sighed, "If you didn't grab the dog's tail, how could you be bitten by the dog?"

   "Yes, Malfoy did it on purpose, so he deserves to be injured." Harry agreed with Hagrid's point of view that Malfoy's injury was entirely his own fault.

   "That's great."

"I told them that Draco Malfoy was all his own fault, because he deliberately went to trouble the hippogriff and that's why he got hurt, you can't blame the hippogriff, it just It was there to teach everyone, and I told them that Harry flew around the school on it."

   "Lucius Malfoy was very angry at that time." Hagrid touched Fang Ya's head with his big fan-like hand, "He was probably very angry that I described his son as an idiot!"

   "That guy is an idiot." Harry immediately agreed.

"Most of the Slytherins are idiots who marry close relatives." Ron noticed that the others were looking at him, and explained quickly, "Don't look at me like that, Fred and George always laugh at them for their brain problems, and He also has a particularly bad temper, which is why he is prone to dark wizards."

   "And then?" Hermione asked.

   "Later, the committee all sided with Malfoy." Hagrid sighed deeply, "Lucius probably threatened and lured, and spent a lot of Galleons to buy off the people in the committee."

"They've been changing the subject, saying that hippogriffs are different from dogs, picking up all kinds of issues, like Albert said, wizards are arrogant, and their main reason is that magical animals hurt wizards, so It has to be sentenced, and they really don't care whose problem it is."

"Later, Lucius Malfoy stood up and spoke, and listed the so-called evidence (several photos of Malfoy's injuries) and the so-called witnesses, and the committee did exactly what he asked, impatiently Sentence Buckbeak to death, and then end the court without giving me a chance to refute, the whole process did not take more than half an hour." Hagrid said angrily, "That's how they judge, they are simply a bunch of animals. He told me that the Ministry of Magic is not trustworthy, and the laws of the Ministry of Magic are just jokes, and most wizards are bullying, I didn't believe it at first, but then I believed it."

   "If it was a centaur in the forest, or an acromander in the forest, who hurt Malfoy's little bastard, no one in the Ministry of Magic would be willing to sentence them."

   "Why?" Hermione asked puzzled.

"The centaurs don't care about the Ministry of Magic at all. Once the people from the Ministry of Magic go to their tribe to catch the so-called criminals, they will definitely be attacked by the centaurs in the whole forest." Hagrid took a deep breath and said, "As for Eight Eyes Giant spiders, they are very dangerous, especially in the Forbidden Forest, once they are attacked by a large number of giant spiders, the best result is to flee."

  The fact that the Ministry of Magic dared to judge Buckbeak was because it took advantage of Hagrid's weakness. If Hagrid had let Buckbeak go in the first place, it wouldn't have caused so much trouble.

  The Hazardous Creatures Committee wasn't going to provoke a group of angry hippogriffs, and they didn't know it was just Buckbeak, so they could only pinch their noses to recognize it.

   As for the trouble with Hagrid, Dumbledore assured that there would be no problems. At most, there were too many reports in the "Daily Prophet" that the Hippogriff fled in fear of crime after injuring someone.

Albert had already seen through the essence of this matter, but he did not remind Hagrid of this. He also knew that Hagrid was afraid of breaking the law, so he probably would not let Buckbeak go, and this was an opportunity to trigger the mission, so he would rather Take your time and be reluctant to use the simplest and most effective method.

   It's good to go around like this, why not?

   Anyway, the problem will be solved in the end, at most it is the program trouble.
