Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 759: bitten by a dog

  Chapter 760 Bitten by a Dog

  Hagrid lost the lawsuit, which was exactly what Albert expected, and this incident did not bring waves to his campus life.

   Potter had come to him several times to discuss ways to save Buckbeak, but Albert would use "don't worry about it, I'll take care of it" every time to send him off.

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

  Albert's distrust made both Harry and Ron annoyed, but they couldn't think of a way to save Buckbeak, and even Hermione was desperate and had no confidence to let Hagrid win the case .

   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 more likely to directly kill Buckbeak.

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

   "Continue the appeal?" Ron asked in confusion.

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

  "But...why?"

  Harry couldn't understand why Albert was wasting his time when he had a solution to the problem?

   "He thinks the Malfoys spend a lot of Galleons to buy the Council's wizards, maybe they should spend more Galleons."

   Actually, Hermione knew that Albert's intention was to make Malfoy spend more money to bribe other wizards, and to confuse everyone by showing an appearance of doing her best.

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

   "But... does this 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 begins to tell what happened the other day:

  Last Friday, Hagrid took Buckbeak to London on a pre-booked Knight Bus. The hippogriff caused a commotion on the bus. Finally, with the help of a Ministry employee, Hagrid was able to Only successfully brought Buckbeak into the Ministry of Magic.

   This trial takes place in a courtroom on the tenth basement floor of the Ministry of Magic, where the Dangerous Creatures Committee hears the matter.

   "Albert told me that when the Hogwarts Board of Directors handed over this accident to the Dangerous Animals Committee, they had completely abandoned Buckbeak." Hagrid said about this matter When he was very angry, "they don't care about the death of the hippogriff at all. Professor Dumbledore has no good solution in this regard."

  "Maybe, he prophesied."

  Harry remembered that Albert was good at prophecy, and it wouldn't be surprising if he saw a solution to his problems from prophecy.

  "There are some things for Albert that don't need to be predicted at all, and the results can be guessed only by speculation."

  Hermione knows Albert's abilities. She hasn't given up on divination, and actually hopes that she can learn something useful.

   While that may not be divination, being able to learn useful knowledge is an improvement.

   After the trial, Hagrid had been replying according to Albert's suggestion, and the people of the All Matters Committee asked him, and he put the question on Malfoy's head.

   "I told the committee that Buckbeaks are just magical creatures, domesticated and not rashly attacking students, this is entirely Malfoy's problem, just like you know that pulling a dog's tail hard will get bitten by the dog, and You did this on purpose and got bitten by a dog, can you still blame the dog for biting you?"

   "This metaphor is too appropriate." Hermione sighed, "If you don't pull the dog's tail, how can you be bitten by the dog?"

   "Yes, Malfoy did it on purpose, so he deserved the injury." Harry agreed with Hagrid that Malfoy's injury was entirely self-inflicted.

  "That's great."

   "I told them that Draco Malfoy did it all by himself, because he deliberately went to trouble the hippogriff, so he got hurt, you can't blame the hippogriff , it was there for everyone to teach, and I told them that Harry rode it around the school."

   "Lucius Malfoy was furious at the time." Hagrid touched Fang's head with a fan-like hand. "He was probably furious that I described his son as an idiot!"

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

   "Most of the Slytherins are idiots who are inbreeding." Ron noticed that several other people were looking at him, and quickly explained, "Don't look at me like that, Fred and George always laugh at them for their brains. problem, and also has a particularly bad temper, so it is easy to produce dark wizards."

   "And then?" Hermione asked.

   "Afterwards, the committee all sided with Malfoy." Hagrid sighed deeply, "Lucius probably coerced and lured, plus paid a lot of Galleons to buy the committee's people."

   "They've been diverting the subject, saying hippogriffs are different from dogs, asking all kinds of questions, like Albert said, wizards are arrogant, and their main reason is that magical beasts hurt Wizards, so it has to be sentenced, they don't really care who it is."

   "Later, Lucius Malfoy stood up and spoke, citing so-called evidence (several photos of Malfoy's injuries) and so-called witnesses, and the committee did exactly what he asked. , can't wait to sentence Buckbeak to death, and then end the court without giving me a chance to refute, the whole process does not take more than half an hour." Hagrid said angrily, "That's how they tried, it's just a bunch of beasts. Ai Burt told me long ago that the Ministry of Magic is not credible, that the laws of the Ministry are just jokes, that most wizards are bullying, I didn't believe it at first, but then I did."

   "If it was a centaur in the forest or a giant spider in the forest who hurt Malfoy's little brat, no one at the Ministry of Magic would want to sentence them."

   "Why?" Hermione asked, puzzled.

   "The centaurs don't care about the Ministry of Magic at all~IndoMTL.com~ Once the Ministry of Magic goes to their tribe to catch the so-called criminals, they will definitely be attacked by centaurs throughout the forest." Hagrid took a deep breath. He said, "As for the eight-eyed giant spiders, they are very dangerous, especially in the forbidden forest. Once they are attacked by a large number of eight-eyed giant spiders, the best result is to flee."

  The Ministry of Magic dared to judge Buckbeak, but it was actually grasping Hagrid's weakness. If Hagrid let Buckbeak go in the first place, he wouldn't have caused so much trouble.

   The Committee on Dangerous Creatures wouldn't provoke a group of angry hippogriffs, and they didn't know it was Buckbeak, so they ended up pinching their noses.

   As for the trouble with Hagrid, Dumbledore assured that there would be no problems, at most the Daily Prophet had more reports of hippogriffs absconding after hurting people.

  Albert had seen through the essence of this matter long ago, but he didn't remind Hagrid of it. He also knew that Hagrid was afraid of breaking the law and would not let Buckbeak away, and this was the opportunity to trigger the mission. So he would rather spend more time than 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 trouble of the program.
