Hogwarts: Harry's Path to Witches

Chapter 197: We need to drag the enemy into a familiar area and defeat him!

Harry reached over Sirius and knocked on the door of Hagrid's cabin.

It took a while for the door to open, revealing Hagrid's big face.

He probably hadn't taken care of his personal hygiene for a long time. His eyes were red, his face was unshaven, and his beard was soaked with tears.

"It's you, come in!"

As soon as he entered the room, Harley smelled a strong smell of alcohol.

There were several large empty wine barrels on the ground nearby, and Harry vaguely remembered seeing them the last time he came here.

Hagrid slumped in his chair dejectedly, and there was an open letter on the table.

He picked up a wine barrel on the table, used it as a cup, and poured it into his mouth.

"What happened, Hagrid?" Hermione asked worriedly.

Obviously when he wrote the letter a few days ago, Hagrid was in a good mood because he had only been punished once.

Why did he fall so low in the blink of an eye?

Hearing Hermione's words, Hagrid suddenly collapsed again. He threw the empty barrel aside, lay on the table and cried loudly.

Harry and Hermione quickly stepped forward to comfort him, and it took a while to calm down Hagrid's mood.

Hagrid didn't speak, but pointed to the letter on the table.

Harry took the letter and read it with Hermione.

After reading the letter, Hermione had a very angry look on her face.

It was a letter from the Ministry of Magic, which stated that they had received a report from Lucius Malfoy, a public-spirited and law-abiding citizen.

According to Malfoy Sr., there is an uncontrolled Hippogriff at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

As an XXX-level dangerous creature, it attacked students arbitrarily and injured Draco Malfoy, a third-year student in Slytherin House at Hogwarts.

Lucius strongly requested that the Ministry of Magic send members of the Dangerous Creatures Committee to execute the dangerous hippogriff.

Of course, in line with the principle of fairness and justice, the Ministry of Magic allowed Hagrid, the direct breeder, to defend the hippogriff's behavior.

If the defense fails, Buckbeak will be executed directly.

"How could they do this?" Hermione said angrily, "This is simply outrageous!"

"It was obviously Malfoy who did not follow the safety precautions during class and made a mistake, which led to all this."

"And now the Ministry of Magic actually wants to kill the innocent Buckbeak! Why!"

"Because the Malfoy family is a bunch of thugs! A bunch of damn Death Eaters!" As soon as he mentioned Malfoy, Hagrid immediately pounded the table angrily.

"It must be those brainless guys at the Ministry of Magic who were bewitched by Malfoy."

Harry shook her head. She didn't believe that the Ministry of Magic was full of rubbish.

The Ministry of Magic's behavior must be partly due to the political pressure and bribes exerted by the Malfoy family;

But the more important point is that the Ministry of Magic wants to scare the monkeys and warn those intelligent non-human creatures that the lives of wizards are inviolable.

Wizards can kill each other, but if foreign races dare to kill wizards, they will only die!

Of course, saying this now won't help. Hermione and Hagrid are also among the people who find it difficult to accept this idea.

So Harry brought the topic to the right track: "So Hagrid, what are you going to do?"

"Huh?" Hagrid looked at Harry in confusion, "What should I do?"

Harley sighed and pointed to Buckbeak outside the house: "Of course it's the accusation it faces!"

"I must defend him! Buckbeak is innocent!" Hagrid knocked on the table angrily again, the sound shaking the glass.

"So you don't have any plans and are just going to debate the Committee on Disposal of Dangerous Creatures?" Harley felt unbelievable.

"You want to compete with others on their territory?"

Looking at Hagrid's wildly blinking confused eyes and Hermione's half-understanding eyes, Harry sighed:

"Hagrid, why don't you go find Professor Dumbledore?"

"Professor Dumbledore has done too much for me." Hagrid hit his head hard, his face full of pain.

"Fifty-one years ago, he single-handedly rescued me from Azkaban and gave me the positions of gamekeeper and keykeeper."

"Last semester he worked for me at the Ministry of Magic. This semester he will also be busy with Sirius and preventing dementors from entering the school."

"I can't continue to trouble him for such a trivial matter."

Harry nodded, and instead of trying to persuade Hagrid, came up with another way.

"Hagrid, actually the key to solving this matter is how to identify it." Harley analyzed it for the two of them.

"Lucius Malfoy wished to characterize this incident as a widespread incident of magical animal mauling and establish Buckbeak's identity as a magical animal."

"And according to the laws of the Ministry of Magic, if magical animals hurt people, they should die."

"And all you need to do is insist that this thing was a teaching accident, and that Buckbeak's identity in this thing was that of a teaching object, that of an unintelligent individual."

"I remember that the wizarding world is much more tolerant of teaching accidents, otherwise half of the professors in Hogwarts would have to resign."

"Buckbeak is not an object!" Hagrid protested excitedly, "He is a living being!"

"But now he must be a teaching object!" Harley retorted, "If you want him to live, then he must be a teaching object!"

Hagrid was silent for a while, then slumped in his chair: "I'm sorry, Harry, my mood swings were a little too severe just now. You're right."

"It's okay, let's continue talking."

"Hagrid, you need to contact Professor Kettle Burn, who has retired. As a veteran professor of the protection of magical animals, he should know Mr. Newt Scamander."

"Mr. Newt Scamander devoted his life to the protection of magical creatures and worked hard to promote many laws related to this."

"I remember Nico also mentioned that Mr. Scamander's mother loved raising hippogriffs, so he would not just sit back and ignore Buckbeak."

"After contacting him, you can contact the Wizarding Examination Authority through him..."

Harry combined the information he learned from chatting with Susan and the others, as well as the various knowledge introduced to him by Nico and Dumbledore, to plan a plan for Hagrid in an orderly manner.

"...So we are going to pull each other into areas we are familiar with. Do you understand, Hagrid?"

"I understand!" Hagrid slapped his head, "I understand what you mean, I'll write a letter right now!"

(ps. I suddenly discovered an interesting thing. One of Hagrid’s original positions was gamekeeper, but he was guarding the Forbidden Forest.

Does that mean that the Forbidden Forest was originally the hunting ground of Hogwarts for students to conduct practical training? But later the students changed their minds, so it became a forbidden forest. )
