Chapter 241 Conversation in the Wooden House
After a while, Hagrid seemed to wake up from the control of alcohol, but Hagrid's eye circles were still red, which made Harry very uncomfortable to see.
"Sorry...for making you worry..." Hagrid took a deep breath. As a professor, it was obviously not a very honorable thing to cry drunkenly in front of his students and friends.
"It's okay...Hagrid...we are friends." Hermione said softly, "But you shouldn't be so drunk. This is bad. You can't be like those...those tramps."
Hagrid scratched his head in embarrassment. In fact, facing the girl's words, Hagrid had no room to refute.
"Buckbeak is going to die, and I feel very bad..." Hagrid murmured. He, the Hogwarts Gamekeeper, could not change the Ministry of Magic's decision, not even Dumbledore. Based on Cornelius Fudge's character, if Dumbledore intervened in the Ministry of Magic's decisions, it would definitely be considered that Professor Dumbledore wanted to compete for the rights of the Ministry of Magic.
In fact, no one initially recommended Fudge. People supported Dumbledore, who was of course the Minister of Magic. After all, Grindelwald was defeated and imprisoned by Dumbledore himself.
"Although I have known the attitude of the Ministry of Magic for a long time, I did not expect that this day would come so quickly. Buckbeak has just entered the prime of life, and he does not even have any descendants... Because of me, Buckbeak was sentenced to death by the Ministry of Magic. …”
"How could they do this..." Harry said angrily, "I mean, it was Malfoy who took the initiative to provoke Buckbeak, but that bastard Malfoy only scratched some skin..."
"Where's Professor Dumbledore? What did he say?" Harry asked. The first thing he thought of was that the only person who could help Hagrid was Albus Dumbledore, the influential white wizard.
"Don't say that, Harry..." Hagrid was a little flustered, "Professor Dumbledore has helped me a lot. It's all my fault. I should have been more attentive and moved faster. Obviously the Ministry of Magic has revoked the The use of my wand is prohibited, but I didn't buy a new wand and carry it with me... If I had brought it with me, I would have been cautious enough to prevent Malfoy from getting hurt..."
"It's not all your fault, Hagrid..." Hermione comforted, "It's all Malfoy's fault. He shouldn't have provoked Buckbeak, and that damn Malfoy was really too bad..."
"Yes, that's right..."
Harry nodded, he really hated Malfoy, no one else.
However, apart from sitting here and complaining about Malfoy, they seemed to have nothing to do to help Hagrid.
They were not Professor Dumbledore, and they did not attend the hearing. Who would really consider what a few thirteen or fourteen-year-old wizards said.
This has been perfectly confirmed in the past two school years. In this school year, Fan Lin found Sirius twice and wanted to talk to Sirius, but each time he failed.
When he was in Hogsmeade, Sirius's first decision was not to negotiate fairly with Fanlin... Sirius had always wanted to subdue Fanlin, and using the Forgetting Curse to erase the memory of him was my true Sirius. choice, if Fan Lin hadn't subdued him with a magic spell, then Sirius would never have agreed to cooperate.
Even so, Professor Luping always wanted to take over everything. He didn't want Fan Lin and others to face Peter Pettigrew directly. Such matters should be left to adults like them.
No matter in which aspect, being young means that there is no credibility. Only adults can truly have the right to speak.
However, even for adult wizards, one or two people are useless in front of most people. You are neither a senior official of the Ministry of Magic nor do you have high prestige. The consequence of talking nonsense is that you will become a new blow. object.
This is also a very helpless thing. Sometimes Fanlin really feels that he is particularly powerless, and age has become the biggest obstacle to speaking.
Harry, Fanlin and Hermione couldn't find anything new to say to comfort Hagrid for a moment. They just stood at the door of Hagrid's cabin. Fang Ya had already walked out along the opened door. The smell in the house Very bad for a hunting dog.
Fanlin also heard Yaya barking outside the window. It seemed that Yaya didn't feel Hagrid's sadness. He had to admit that Yaya was a very stupid dog and a little timid.
Hagrid rubbed his eyes with his generous palms, and his eyes became even redder.
"Oh...you...sit down..." Hagrid said. He didn't know what he should do. His behavior just now was a bit embarrassing.
"I think I need to wash my face and wake up... I'm sorry, I didn't prepare any tea..."
"It's okay, Hagrid... we're not thirsty." Fan Lin said, he pulled Hermione and Harry to the sofa aside, and gave Hagrid the front door of the cabin.
A few people just sat on the sofa. Hagrid stood up from his wicker chair with difficulty. He stamped his feet, and a piece of dust fell from the beams of the wooden house. Fortunately, there was no such dust on the sofa where the few people were. .
"...I'm sorry...you know..."
"It's okay, Hagrid!" Fan Lin shook his head, "Go quickly, I think there will be plenty of time to clean up in the future."
Hagrid didn't let them wait too long. In fact, Hagrid directly immersed his face in the basin. After ten seconds, Hagrid thought his mind was completely clear and returned to his hut.
When he came back, there were water drops on Hagrid's face and beard, but he looked much better.
"What does the letter say?" Fanlin asked.
"They want to execute Buckbeak..." Hagrid's voice was a little dim, "They said Buckbeak violated the Wizard Protection Act, so they have no reason to let a hippogriff go. At the same time, they also maintained the conclusion of Buckbeak at the beginning. They believe that the danger level of hippogriffs needs to be increased. They require strict supervision of all hippogriffs."
"Damn..." Hagrid couldn't help muttering, "They are a bunch of idiots. Hippogriffs are just a kind of arrogant creatures. As long as they don't offend them, wizards will not be attacked at all. And hippogriffs don't want to release magic like thunderbirds..."
Hagrid cursed and seemed to have lost his strength.
"Is there really no way?" Harry asked carefully.
"I know you want to say Professor Dumbledore, but..." Fan Lin said, "Even Professor Dumbledore can't change the existing verdict." (To be continued)
