Looking at the pitiful appearance of Hagrid, Ivan sighed.

He does n’t understand what politics is, but he knows what he has to do, and he ca n’t just watch Buckbeak get his head cut off. Hagrid will surely collapse.

"Listen, Hagrid!" Ivan said, "You ca n’t give up, you need to prepare a defense, Harry, Ron, Hermione can prove that Barco Bic is innocent, I can help you promote this in the newspaper. . "

"Ivan is right, I must have read a case of hippogriff attack." Hermione said contemplatively, "In that case, hippogriff is okay, we can study what is going on."

"Yes, we will help." Harry and Ron followed quickly.

Although everyone said so, the job almost fell to two people in Ivan and Hermione.

After insisting for a while, Harry and Ron seem to completely forget this thing.

This is not to blame them. The first is Harry, he has been too busy recently.

In late November, the Ravenclaw team defeated the Hufflepuff team. This event made Wood full of energy again. After all, the Gryffindor team still has a chance to play, although they can't lose another goal.

He now asks the players to train day and night. Ivan has seen Harry several times in the cold and snowy December Mobiliarbus.

Wanxing has never seen any trace of dementor(s) on campus since the last incident. The last lesson and the anger of Dumbledore seem to have completely restricted them to the posts at the entrance of the school.

In addition to being busy with Quiddich training, Harry has to learn Patronus mantra with Professor Lupin.

He will release the complete Patronus as soon as possible to ensure that there will be no accidents next time.

As for Ron, his recent state has become more and more abnormal.

He has almost no communication with everyone, nor is he close to Ivan and Hermione. During the Harry training, he wandered around the city by himself.

To guard against Crookshanks, he put Scabbers in his shirt pocket wherever he went.

Several times, they are beyond the perception range of tracking potion and do not know where to go.

Ivan also has no idea to control Ron and Pettigrew Peter, he and Hermione spend almost all their time in the library, and can't care about other things at all.

Just let Pettigrew Peter get away for a few days, and then more than twenty days, when the Christmas holiday, his plan can be implemented. At that time, there were the fewest people in the castle, you can lead Sirius Black out, and then settle the whole incident in one go.

What is more urgent to solve now is to find a way to save Buckbeak. He and Hermione have found a lot of materials and files in the library. With reference to the famous case recorded above, he prepared the defense of Buckbeak. The titles of these files are: "Magic Animal Case Summary", "hippogriff Psychological Handbook", "Poultry or Monster", "hippogriff Brutality Research", etc., each of which is very thick.

"Ivan, look at this!" Hermione put a dusty file in front of Ivan and whispered, "This is a case of Manticore in 1926. It killed someone, but in the end Released innocent. "

"This is because everyone is afraid, nobody dares to approach it." Ivan frowned and looked at the dense script on the file.

"Yes, you are right." Hermione threw the thick file aside in disappointment.

Ivan took this file and continued to read it. The following is a brief introduction about the magical animal Manticore.

Manticore is an extremely dangerous magical animal with a human head, a lion ’s torso and a scorpion ’s tail. It is very rare, and it is famous for its gentle humming as it devours prey.

According to reliable literature, the skin of Manticore repels almost all known spells. Anyone who is stung by it will be killed instantly.

This horrible creature was created by wizard(s) and Goblin(s). They were used to guard property or important forbidden areas, and were once all the rage. But since the implementation of the 《Ban on Experimental Breeding》 decree, Manticore has gradually decreased.

In recent decades, it has disappeared.

Ivan put the file aside. From the text above, compared with Manticore, the danger level of hippogriff is not known how many times lower.

If Buckbeak is half as powerful as Manticore, they do n’t have to worry about sitting here.

During the next half-month, in addition to assisting Hermione to perfect the defense speech, Ivan also wrote several defense articles.

He originally planned to use public opinion to put pressure on Lucius Malfoy and the Committee on Dealing with Hazardous Biology, but things were not as smooth as originally thought.

《Daily Prophet》 refused to publish these articles written by Ivan, they think this matter has no meaning to report. The whole incident was, at best, a trivial matter that occurred in Hogwarts and could not arouse people's interest in reading.

Although Ivan finally printed these articles on 《Hogwarts Magic》, the effect has been limited.

Mr. Barnabas Gufe, editor-in-chief of 《Daily Prophet》, is correct. Most readers do not care about the life and death of a hippogriff, not to mention that young wizards already knows the history of this matter.

Compared to this, they are more interested in things related to Black and dementor(s).

Ivan is not completely without supporters. Colin, Ginny, Luna all expressly support his point of view. Luna even persuaded his father to publish these articles written by Ivan on 《The Quibbler》, replacing the original research article on Crumple-Horned Snorkack as a new one. Front page headlines.

However, this has not played much role. 《The Quibbler》 is not selling as much as 《Hogwarts Magic》.

The time passes by day by day, getting closer and closer to Christmas, but Ivan and Hermione has not made much progress.

Although they wrote ten parchment pleadings, Ivan doubts how much this pleading can do besides lethargic.

Not to mention whether the officials of the Disposal of Hazardous Biology Committee will adopt this defense. It is doubtful whether Hagrid can record all these things. With his ability, it may be connected. It's hard to read it aloud.

"No use, Hermione!" Looking at Hermione sitting opposite him, Ivan sighed heavily.

Hermione is still struggling with boring dossiers. She is often the last one to leave the common room at night. The first morning she went to the library. The heavy schoolwork burden, the invisible pressure imposed by Ron and preparation for Buckbeak Defence, these things are superimposed together, it has made her like Lupin has a shadow under her eyes.

"What are you talking about ?!" Hermione looked up from the data.

"Our thinking seems to be wrong. For whatever reason, Buckbeak really hurt Draco Malfoy, isn't it?" Ivan said slowly, "We can't defend the innocence of Buckbeak, as long as Lucius Malfoy bites this, The hope of Hagrid winning is very slim. "

"Then what should we do, like Harry and Ron, do nothing?" Hermione looks a little irritable, "Watching Buckbeak killed, and waiting for Hagrid to crash?!"

"No, I mean, we should change our minds." Ivan's's eyes fell on the "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" by Newt Scamander. The author's experience gave him great inspiration.
