Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 778: Guilty

  Chapter 779 Guilty

   "Guilty? Of course not, I never thought the Hippogriff was guilty." Hagrid took a deep breath and started flipping through his cards to find the answer.

   This old man is really sinister.

  Thanks to Albert's reminder, otherwise he would be led by the nose.

   "Then why do you want to be able to compensate for the victim's medical expenses?" the elderly wizard asked, all he had to do was convict the hippogriff.

   As long as you are guilty, you can be sentenced to death.

  Hagrid glanced at the contents of the card in his hand. He was not at all shy about the old wizard's question. Albert even helped him figure out the answer to the question.

  "That's just my sympathy for Mr. Malfoy and concern for their family's economy."

   After finishing speaking, Hagrid glanced at Lucius provocatively, and continued to read the content to the hand card, he said louder and louder: "As far as I know, Mr. Lucius Malfoy has already tried to win this appeal. It's a lot of money to spend on Galleons, and it seems to be a little tight. Of course, it's a little bit of goodwill on my part to keep their lives from being too bad. You can think of it as my humanitarian aid, of course, because of myself There are no Galleons, only 50 Galleons."

  This Galleon was obtained by Albert from Malfoy, and it doesn't hurt at all to spend it.

  Hagrid's meaning is to spend money to reconcile, but the money is given very reluctantly.

   After Hagrid finished speaking, the aged wizard looked at Lucius Malfoy and asked, "Mr. Malfoy, do you agree with Mr. Hagrid's proposal to settle this matter peacefully, and he will compensate you 50 plus Long."

  Hagrid was willing to spend 50 Galleons to quell this matter. It can be seen that he is actually very sincere. After all, Draco Malfoy has not been hurt too much.

   If it is an ordinary case, it is probably the only thing left to determine the final compensation amount.

   This old wizard from the Committee on Disposal of Dangerous Creatures actually hopes to solve the problem in this way, but he also knows that it is almost impossible.

  Lucius Malfoy obviously didn't intend to let it go, and he spent more than 50 Galleons on this matter.

   Lucius Malfoy spent so much time trying to kill that hippogriff, not just because his son Draco was injured, but to hit Hagrid with it, so disgusting Some Dumbledore.

  Otherwise, this scene would never have occurred.

   The feud between Malfoy and Dumbledore originated when Armando Dippet was the headmaster, and Hogwarts adapted the wizarding fairy tale "Fountain of Fortune" pantomime for the view of wizarding blood.

  "I don't agree, gentlemen," said Lucius Malfoy smugly. "My son has been greatly hurt, and that mad beast deserves the punishment it deserves."

   Dumbledore watched silently, as a witness, he could not participate in this debate, which is one of the reasons why Lucius Malfoy chose Dumbledore as a witness.

   Honestly, he was interested in how this unfolded, and Mr. Anderson was clearly well-prepared for Hagrid.

   "Can't 50 Galleons still quell your anger? Do you want to get more Galleons from me? I really underestimate your greed." Hagrid put a card in his hand. bag.

   "The Malfoys won't be short of your Galleons." Lucius looked at Hagrid with the eyes of a turtle, "You should keep those Galleons for yourself!"

   "So, it seems that 50 Galleons can't impress you, so how many Galleons, 500 Galleons or 5000 Galleons do you want?" Hagrid asked suddenly.

  Draco Malfoy, who originally planned to come over to watch Hagrid's jokes, was stunned by Hagrid's chatter.

   Is this really the professor of protection of magical creatures he knows?

   is like a different person.

  "I really don't understand why you are defending a crazy hippogriff." Lucius sneered, "Could it be that you actually instructed the hippogriff to hurt people on purpose?"

   "Mr. Malfoy, do you have any evidence to substantiate your accusation?" the old wizard asked, frowning.

   "Gentlemen, I think Mr. Malfoy is twisting the truth." Hagrid raised his hand and said, "His son Draco Malfoy was hurt completely by himself. I have evidence, witnesses, and a I am responsible for every next sentence."

   "Before the class, I told all the students: Hippogriffs are very proud and easily lose their temper. Don't humiliate it, or you will be injured or killed."

  The old wizard looked at Draco, then looked back at Hagrid who was chatting and frowned.

   "As one of the few wizards who can tame a hippogriff, I can officially tell you that hippogriffs do not actively attack wizards. Professor Sylvanos Ketelber and Wilmy Lady Na Grapland is an authority on this subject, and they can testify for me." Hagrid continued, "If you don't think what they say is credible, you can ask Mr. Newt Scamander, he is the ..."

   "Hagrid, this proves nothing?" the old wizard interrupted.

  "If even experts can't prove it, who do you think can prove it?" Hagrid asked rhetorically, "Mr. Malfoy who is not even an expert?"

   "The problem is that the beast hurt, Hagrid, that's the point." The old wizard found Hagrid more difficult than the last time.

   If it wasn't for Lucius' Galleon, he wouldn't want to get involved in this at all.

   "If someone dares to deliberately reach out and stab the fire dragon in the eye, it would be eaten or burnt to death by the dragon flames." Hagrid said indifferently.

  "That's two different things at all."

   "I remember when the Hippogriff acknowledged Draco Malfoy and bowed his head to him, Mr. Malfoy called him a big ugly beast and that's why he was attacked. This It's like someone who dares to deliberately reach out and stab a fire dragon in the eye, why would they do it on purpose when they knew it was dangerous?"

  "So, we didn't pursue your problem." Lucius said nonchalantly: "What we're discussing now is the Hippogriff attack."

   "With all due respect, Mr. Lucius Malfoy, is there something wrong with your son's mind? If he's okay, why bother angering the Hippogriff, does he think he's taking his own life for a joke? Is it funny?" Hagrid sneered mercilessly. "If that's the case, you should take him to St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries, because he may have a brain problem, and I'm worried about his next class. Will you deliberately reach out to grab the tail of my hunting dog, and then sue me in court after being bitten by the dog?"

   Lucius stretched out his hand to hold his son's shoulder and looked at Hagrid with indifferent eyes, the malice in his eyes was about to seep out.

   "Hagrid, the hippogriff hurts, and it deserves to be punished."

   "I don't recall that the law of the Ministry of Magic stipulates that punishment must be executed in this regard." Hagrid sneered: "As far as I know, the person is still alive? I was told that our Mr. Malfoy was injured. On the third day after that, I can fight with the hand he claims is badly injured. I can also provide witnesses if needed, and there are more than one."

  Hagrid is starting to smack the **** out of him, and he doesn't save face for other people at all. He looked at Lucius and sneered, "Don't think you've spent money on my legal counsel, and I can't do anything about it. There I have already asked him about legal knowledge before."

   "It's against the law for you to put the Hippogriff to death, because your son isn't dead, let alone seriously injured." Hagrid stared at the old wizard and said, "I can provide evidence for this. "

   "Hagrid, the Hippogriff hurts, and it deserves to be punished," repeated the old wizard.

   "Then, can you tell me what the punishment is, shouldn't it be death again?" Hagrid sneered, he finally understood why Albert said he couldn't win.

   "Since that hippogriff is crazy, it should be executed to prevent similar accidents from happening again." The old wizard seemed to have spent a lot of effort to finish this sentence.

   "Why, I know you charged Lucius 200 Galleons." Hagrid suddenly said, "But why, this Galleon is not easy to get."

   "You are pure slander, how dare you slander the officials of the Ministry of Magic." The old wizard growled angrily.

   "Slander, whether there is slander, you know it yourself, don't think that I don't know you are his accomplice. I have recorded all the conversations in this trial. Whether it is fair or not, it is left to people to judge. Right," said Hagrid blankly.

  "How dare you...no one will believe you."

  The old wizard had a bad premonition that Hagrid's behavior was too abnormal, but he had no other way out now.

   "Slander, if you don't have it, why should you be afraid?" Hagrid sneered at the old man in front of him. Since his face has been torn apart, there is no need to be polite.

  Albert once told him that as long as the trial was recorded, he would have the opportunity to send the old guy in front of him to Azkaban prison in two years.

   Although he didn't know the reason, Hagrid wouldn't forgive the **** who took the money and neglected his duties.

   "Now, I declare the mad hippogriff guilty, behead immediately, by the commission's appointed executioner, Walton McNeill..."

  Cough, Dumbledore coughed lightly and interjected: "I suggest putting the execution time at night to avoid other students from watching. I don't want my students to see a **** scene, and before that, I will make sure The hippogriff won't run away. Of course, you can go over there and stare yourself."

   "Then execute the execution when the sun goes down." The old wizard gave Hagrid a stern look and said to Dumbledore, "The professor you hired is not sensible."

   "He's just too sad." Dumbledore was also very surprised by Hagrid's toughness, Albert apparently said something to Hagrid.

   However, he suspects that the poor old man in front of him may be at risk for the holidays.

   (Lucius and Walton McNeil are both Death Eaters)

   After Lucius Malfoy left with his son triumphantly, Dumbledore said to Hagrid, "You were so excited."

   "Sorry, but as you should have seen, they didn't want to give Buckbeak a way out." Hagrid took a sip of the tranquilizer from his pocket. "Although Albert has told me about it, I still... well, he's right, cowardice is not desirable. Any Ministry of Magic laws and prohibitions are only for ordinary people who are powerless, And for those who are rich, officials are useless at all.”

   After a moment of silence, Dumbledore asked, "What else did he say?"

   "As long as I record the process just now, he said that in two years, the old man just now may be fired for malfeasance, or even thrown into Azkaban prison." Hagrid shrugged, Pulled out a round object from his pocket, somewhat like a memory ball.

  "Mr. Anderson made it?" Dumbledore looked at the ball in Hagrid's hand, and had already guessed what it was for.

  "Yeah, he gave me this."

   "It seems that Mr. Anderson has found a solution to this matter." Dumbledore sighed softly, "What a reliable friend."

   "I don't know, he didn't say anything." Hagrid shook his head.

  "Shameless fall!"

   On the wall behind Dumbledore's desk, the portrait of the fat, red-nosed wizard yells, "The Ministry of Magic never did that in my day!"

  "The current judicial system is really eye-opening!"

  Phineas smiled and said to Dumbledore, "Well, do you regret giving up the position of Minister of Magic, if you became Minister of Magic, maybe the situation would not be so bad."

   Honestly, Phineas saw at a glance that the old wizard of the Committee on the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures had taken Lucius Malfoy's Galleon.

   "No," Dumbledore said.

  "What?"

   "Even if I become the Minister of Magic, nothing can change." Dumbledore said calmly, "If you want to completely change the current situation of the Ministry of Magic, you need an opportunity."

   "Opportunity?" Hagrid repeated in confusion.

   "Actually, I don't know when the opportunity will come, maybe Mr. Anderson knows ~IndoMTL.com~ Dumbledore is very aware of the situation of the Ministry of Magic, even if he really becomes the Minister of Magic, it can't be changed. A bunch of things hold up, and Voldemort's remnants will definitely do their best to cause him trouble, and they'll lose the opportunity to train Harry themselves.

   Dumbledore is also afraid of the temptation of power. He is not sure what he will do when he is in power, so the best way is to stay away from power.

  Sometimes, Dumbledore was quite envious of his old friend Tiberius Ogden, and they really had a good time.

  Unfortunately, he can't do that yet.

   "Maybe, you should take the time to chat with that Mr. Anderson, prophets are not common." A portrait suggested.

   "Well, your name is Hagrid, right? If possible, can you ask him to come here? I want to hire that Mr. Anderson to help me with divination." Phineas said suddenly.

   "We're dead Phineas," the other portrait reminds.

  "I know, but I want to know something."

  "I can tell you, but..." Hagrid glanced at Dumbledore and said, "I think Anderson will ask you for a lot of money."
