Harry Potter's Otherworldly Archmage

Chapter 116 Hagrid's Request

Professor Trelawney seemed to be choked by Malfoy's remarks, and for an hour or two after that, she behaved almost like a normal person, which disappointed Draco, who had been expecting amazing performances from her, until the end of lunch, Augustus was the first to rise from his seat.

This cute stick started to explode again, "My God, the shadow of death is one step closer to you, Mr. Augustus, you are the first to leave in such a dangerous meal, your perception of death is really too much Fuzzy, if I were you, it's best not to leave school for the next month, otherwise, everything will fall into place, and no one can save you. Hey!"

"Thank you, Professor, for reminding me that if I have this opportunity, I might as well try it out." Augustus smiled indifferently, and Malfoy and Lilian stood up, ready to leave with Augustus.

"Sybil, I don't think it makes much difference," said Professor McGonagall dryly, "unless there's a mad axeman waiting outside the door, intent on cutting the first person into the hall."

Harry and Ron laughed, and Trelawney seemed offended, with an indignant look on her face.

The next day, school started.Two hours in the playground on a cold January morning was the last thing anyone wanted to do; but Hagrid started a big fire, full of fire monsters, for everyone's entertainment, and the students had a good time. An uncharacteristically good class, gathering dead leaves to keep the fire going, and flame-loving lizards hopping on splintered, self-heating blocks.

Malfoy carelessly picked up his wand and blew the fire monster out of the fire, burning off Pansy's skirt. A class that was supposed to be relatively warm, under Malfoy's active sabotage, became a joke again, Hagrid's face Even if Harry and Ron continued to comfort him, it seemed to have no effect. Now, Gryffindor's collective dislike of Malfoy seems to have reached a peak. If it weren't for Augustus, Malfoy might Fu has long been mobilized and attacked.

After the class ended, Hagrid left Augustus alone, as if he had some personal business.Augustus signaled Malfoy and Lilian to go back first, and went to the Forbidden Forest hut with Hagrid alone.

Hagrid made a pot of fragrant tea, took out some rock flatbreads, and sat at the wooden table with Augustus.

"Mr. Augustus, it's like this. You and Malfoy seem to have a good relationship. You were also present when Buckbeak hurt someone. The reason why it hurt Malfoy was because Malfoy insulted him first, so the situation It has only evolved to this point, and now, Malfoy's father, Lucius, is going to sue Buckbeak, and the people from the Animal Committee have already convicted him and are planning to execute him at another day. Mr. Dumbledore is also running around for this matter, but unfortunately It doesn't have much effect. Now, I've been thinking for a long time, maybe only you can save it, I don't know if you can persuade Malfoy to withdraw the lawsuit from a moral standpoint." Hagrid looked at Augustus earnestly , with an expression of expectation in his eyes.

Augustus took a sip of tea from his teacup, and thought for a while calmly, "From the standpoint of a normal person, it is true that Malfoy was at fault first, but you also know the wizarding world, For these magical animals, they will never tolerate them and hurt people just because humans are at fault. The status of the two is not at the same level, so even though Malfoy is at a disadvantage in terms of public opinion and morality, the animal committee finally decided to execute Buckbeak , That’s why Mr. Dumbledore can’t change the result. As for me, even if I have a good relationship with Malfoy, I haven’t reached the point where I can change his father’s decision. So.” The next words did not make it clear, but Hagrid obviously also very clear.

Lowering his head decadently, Hagrid's face was full of despair. Augustus was already the last straw he could grasp. He also understood that he had only met Augustus a few times. It's so simple to say, but Augustus's reputation has always been very good. Even if he is a Slytherin, everyone's evaluation of him is quite positive, so he can only plead with his cheeks, wanting to stand on the side of morality. Standing to him for help, now, maybe everything is a foregone conclusion, no one can save Buckbeak.

"However," Augustus rubbed his chin, "I actually have a good relationship with Buckbeak. Even if the Animal Committee makes a decision, we can't just watch him be executed like this. In this way, I will write an I can't say for sure what will happen in the end, but I will do my best."

Hagrid's eyes lit up suddenly. Even though he was as ignorant as he was, he knew the status of the Julius family in the wizarding world. If Augustus was willing to write the letter back in person, even with the power of the Malfoy family, it would be difficult for him to have another What to do, doing this is more straightforward than trying to persuade Malfoy to withdraw the lawsuit, and there is no need to worry about another disturbance in the Malfoy family.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Augustus, I don't know what to say at all, you are willing to help so much, you are indeed Buckbeak's reinvented benefactor." Hagrid was moved with tears, and sincerely thanked him, his eyes full It is thanks.

"I'm just trying my best. Malfoy is indeed a bit too much this time. I believe that no one with conscience will let Buckbeak die in vain. Don't worry, even if I don't show up, there will be many people with a sense of justice. Stopped it." Augustus nodded with a smile, signaling Hagrid not to get too excited.

"Okay, you don't have to worry too much about the rest, Buckbeak will definitely get through this disaster safely, and I still have classes, so I'll be leaving first." Augustus got up and bid farewell to Hagrid, preparing to leave .

"Okay, if you don't mind, you must come to visit us often when you have the opportunity in the future." Hagrid got up to see Augustus off, with a sincere smile on his face.

Farewell to Hagrid, Augustus seemed to be late for the first divination class of the new term, and now Professor Trelawney was teaching them palmistry.

"The so-called palmistry, since ancient times, has been like a long history with countless branches that has determined the fate of countless mortal beings. The long river of fate is determined by the branches of human beings, and palmistry is naturally the most direct process that determines an individual's life. Therefore, a person's handprint has already represented his life's deeds in a sense. From life to love to career after growth, any line is definitely not formed by accident. Destiny, from the moment of birth, has been for you The way has been chosen."

I have to say that Trelawney is very experienced in deceiving people. If it wasn't for the end, she lost no time in telling Augustus that the lifeline in his hand was the shortest she had ever seen , this class is perfect.
