The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 759 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 a few times to discuss ways to save Buckbeak, but every time Albert would use "don't worry about it, I'll take care of this" to send him off.

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

Harry and Ron were both annoyed by Albert's distrust, but they couldn't think of a way to save Buckbeak, and even Hermione was desperate and had no confidence in Hagrid winning the lawsuit.

Moreover, Hermione also warned the two 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 were not carried 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 to 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 the appeal, 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 bother?

"He thinks the Malfoys spend a lot of Galleons buying Council wizards, and maybe they should spend more Galleons."

In fact, 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 recount what happened the other day:

Last Friday, Hagrid took Buckbeak to London on a pre-booked Knight Bus, where the Hippogriff caused a commotion, and it was only with the help of Ministry employees that Hagrid was able to get the job done. Buckbeak is brought into the Ministry of Magic.

The trial took place in the tenth basement courtroom at the Ministry of Magic, where the Dangerous Creatures Committee heard the matter.

"Albert told me that when the Hogwarts board of directors handed over the accident to the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Animals, they had completely abandoned Buckbeak." Hagrid said this matter very much. 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 wouldn't be surprising if he saw a solution to his problems in 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 knew Albert's abilities. She hadn't given up on divination. In fact, she hoped that she could learn something useful.

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

After the court session, Hagrid has been replying according to Albert's suggestion. The people of the General Affairs Committee asked him questions, and he put the question on Malfoy's head.

"I told the committee that Buckbeaks were just magical creatures, domesticated and not rashly attacking students, this is entirely Malfoy's problem, like you know that pulling the dog's tail will get bitten by the dog, but you deliberately After doing this, you were bitten by a dog, can you still blame the dog for biting you?"

"This analogy 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 to be hurt." Harry agreed with Hagrid's point of view.

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 was hurt, you can't blame the hippogriff, it just I was there to teach everyone and I told them that Harry rode it around the school."

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

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

"Most of the Slytherins are idiots who marry close relatives." 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 having problems with their brains, and He also has a particularly bad temper, which is why it is easy for dark wizards to appear."

"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, picking on 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 and they don't really care whose question is."

"Later, Lucius Malfoy stood up and spoke, citing the so-called evidence (several pictures of Malfoy's injuries) and so-called witnesses, and the committee did exactly what he asked, can't wait Sentencing Buckbeak to death, then ending the court without giving me a chance to refute, the whole process took less than half an hour." Hagrid said angrily, "That's how they tried, it's just a bunch of beasts. Just told me that the Ministry of Magic is not credible, the laws of the Ministry of Magic are just jokes, 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 harmed Malfoy's little brat, no one from the Ministry of Magic would want to sentence them."

"Why?" Hermione asked in confusion.

"The centaurs don't pay attention to the Ministry of Magic at all. Once the people of the Ministry of Magic go to their tribe to catch the so-called prisoners, they will definitely be attacked by centaurs in the whole 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 flee."

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

The Dangerous Creatures Committee wasn't going to provoke a group of angry hippogriffs, and they didn't know it was Buckbeak, so they could only pinched 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 fleeing after hurting people.

Albert had already seen through the essence of this matter, but he did not remind Hagrid about it. He also knew that Hagrid was afraid of breaking the law, and probably would not let Buckbeak away, and this was the opportunity to trigger the mission, so he would rather It takes a little more time and is 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 trouble of the program.
