The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 759: Bitten by a dog

Hagrid's defeat of the lawsuit was entirely in Albert's expectation, and this incident did not bring any disturbance to his campus life.

Potter had come to him a few times to discuss ways to save Buckbeak, but Albert would always use "Don't worry about it, I'll take care of this."

As for how to deal with it, it didn't matter to Harry.

Albert's distrust irritated Harry and Ron, but they couldn't think of a way to save Buckbeak. Even Hermione was desperate and didn't have the confidence to let 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 to Hagrid, and more likely to directly kill Buckbeak.

Therefore, even if Harry and Ron were angry about this at first, and they were never dazzled by the anger, they could not save Buckbeak, nor could they bear the burden of killing Buckbeak for their own reasons. Therefore, they can only trust him now, believing that Albert can help Hagrid solve this problem perfectly.

"Continue to appeal?" Ron asked puzzledly.

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

"But... why?"

Harry couldn't understand why Albert had a solution to the problem, so why was it wasted?

"He thinks that the Malfoy family spent a lot of gallons on buying the wizards of the committee, maybe they should spend more gallons."

In fact, Hermione knew Albert's intention was to let Malfoy spend more money to buy 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... is this really useful?" Ron asked dryly.

"Albert is still very reliable. The things he taught me are actually very useful." Hagrid recalled, "I drank a large glass of tranquilizer before going to this lawsuit."

Hagrid began to tell what happened the previous few days:

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

The trial was held in the courtroom on the tenth floor of the Ministry of Magic, and the Dangerous Creatures Committee was hearing the matter.

"Albert told me that when the Hogwarts board of directors handed over the accident to the Dangerous Animal Disposal Committee, they had completely abandoned Buckbeak." Hagrid was very surprised when he said this. Angrily, "They don't care about the death of the eagle-headed horse-winged beast. Professor Dumbledore has no good way to do this."

"Perhaps, he predicted it."

Harry remembered that Albert was good at prophesying. It would not be surprising if he saw the solution to the problem from the prophecy.

"For Albert, there are some things that don't need to be prophesied at all, and the result can be guessed only by speculation."

Hermione knew Albert's ability. She hadn't given up on divination, but in fact, she hoped that she could learn something useful.

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

After the court, Hagrid kept responding according to Albert's suggestion. The people of the committee asked him questions, and he put the question on Malfoy's head.

"I told the committee that Buckbeak is only a magical creature. It is tamed and will not attack students rashly. This matter is entirely Malfoy’s problem. Just like you know that if you pull a dog by the tail, you will be bitten by a dog. After doing this, you were bitten by a dog. Can you blame that dog for biting you?"

"This analogy is too appropriate." Hermin sighed. "If you don't pull the dog's tail, how can you get bitten by the dog?"

"Yes, Malfoy was deliberate, so he deserved to be injured." Harry agreed with Hagrid's point of view. Malfoy was injured entirely on his own.

"That's great."

"I told them that Draco Malfoy was completely responsible for himself, because he deliberately went to trouble with the eagle-headed horse with wings, so he was injured. You can’t blame the eagle-headed horse with wings, it just I coordinated with everyone there to teach, and I told them that Harry rode it around the school."

"At that time Lucius Malfoy was very angry." Hagrid touched Fang's head with a fan-like hand. "He is probably very angry. I will describe his son as an idiot!"

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

"Most of Slytherins are idiots who are married with close relatives." Ron noticed that the others were looking at him, and quickly explained, "Don't look at me that way, Fred and George always laugh at their brain problems, and He has a very bad temper, so it's easy to appear as a dark wizard."

"What happened later?" Hermione asked.

"Later, the committee all sided with Malfoy." Hagrid sighed deeply. "Lucius probably coerced and lured, plus spent a large sum of money to buy the committee's people."

"They keep changing the subject, saying that the eagle-headed horse-winged beast is different from the dog, and they pick up all kinds of problems. Just like Albert said, the wizard is arrogant, and their main reason is that the magical animal hurts the wizard, so It must be sentenced, they don’t actually care who the problem 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 for and couldn’t wait. Sentencing Buckbeak to death, and then ended the court without giving me a chance to refute. The whole process did not take more than half an hour." Hagrid said angrily, "This is how they tried. A group of beasts. Albert had long told me that the Ministry of Magic is actually not credible, and that the Ministry’s laws are just jokes. Most wizards are bullying and fearing hardship. I didn’t believe it at first, but then I believed it.”

"If it's a horseman in the forest or an eight-eyed giant spider in the forest that hurt Malfoy's little bunny, no one from the Ministry of Magic would be willing to sentence them."

"Why?" Hermione asked puzzledly.

"The horsemen simply ignore the Ministry of Magic. Once the people from the Ministry of Magic go to their tribe to catch the so-called prisoners, they will definitely be attacked by the horsemen in the entire forest." Hagrid took a deep breath and said, "As for the eight eyes. 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 escape."

The Ministry of Magic dared to judge Buckbeak was actually grabbing Hagrid's weakness. If Hagrid let him go, it would not cause so much trouble.

The Committee for Disposal of Dangerous Creatures is not going to provoke a group of angry eagle-headed horse-winged beasts, and they didn't know that it was just Buckbeak, so they could only pinch their nose to recognize it.

As for the trouble finding Hagrid, Dumbledore promised that there would be no problems. At most, there were more reports in the Daily Prophet that eagle-headed beasts with winged horses wounded people and escaped fearing crime.

Albert had already seen the essence of this incident, but he did not remind Hagrid of this. He also knew that Hagrid was afraid of breaking the law and probably would not let Buckbeak go, and this was an opportunity to trigger the task, so he would rather Spend more time and are unwilling to use the simplest and most effective method.

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

Anyway, the problem will be resolved in the end, at most the program is troublesome.
