Chapter Forty-Eight: The Culprits Behind the New Barren Case
"What's that, Hagrid?" Ron didn't think much of it, and asked directly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Hagrid sobbed even harder.
Hermione glanced at Harry and Ron in the eyes, and Harry understood what she meant, and although he still didn't know what was going on, he could guess that it wasn't something to be happy about, and it was probably something he couldn't help.
Ron didn't know what was going on, and Hagrid pushed the letter to them.
Harry picked up the letter and read it: "Dear Mr. Hagrid: We have investigated further into the incident in your class where the Hippogriff attacked the students.
We have accepted Professor Dumbledore's assurances that you are not responsible for this regrettable incident.
"Isn't that great, Hagrid!" Ron said, tapping Hagrid on the shoulder.
But Hagrid continued to sob, shaking his huge hands and motioning for Harry to continue reading.
However, Harry continued: "We have to show our concern about this problematic Hippogriff.
We have decided to support the formal complaints of Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Notte, so the matter will be referred to the Committee on the Disposal of Hazardous Biological Organisms
"Wait," Harry paused in confusion as he read this, "who is 'Mr. Nott'?"
He looked at Ron, who was also dazed.
Hagrid was still crying uncontrollably, in no mood to pay attention to them.
Hermione thought for a moment, then said, "Oh, it should be the tall, lanky boy who often appears next to Malfoy, Theodor Notte's father." ”
"I don't understand," Ron asked, glaring, "what does Newbalen's injury to Malfoy have to do with him and his father?"
Harry nodded.
"Oh, do you need to ask?, my God, you really don't pay any attention to the Slytherins except Malfoy?" Hermione said sternly, in a tone that she thought everyone should be the first to think of.
"Noether's dad had recently acquired a large piece of land in Liechtenstein, which he had given to Fudge
In the meantime, Mr. Malfoy's term as a member of the Wizengamot Wizards Guild is coming to an end, and he needs to re-vote for the position that Mr. Knott is competing with him for the position!"
Ron and Harry both opened their mouths wide, and it was a moment before Ron said in an offensive tone, "I didn't know that Dad barely mentioned this, are you sure where did you know that?"
"When the school year started, the Daily Prophet mentioned that Mr. Malfoy's term was coming to an end, so didn't you notice that the relationship between Noether and Malfoy was very tense during that time......?
Hermione then reported to Harry and Ron in detail that she had heard Draco in ancient magic class tending to Goyle and Crabbe to clean up Nott.
"Go ahead, teach him a lesson, and let Xiao Lom watch by until he is satisfied. There will be no consequences. Don't forget, the Greengrasses will be on my side, too. Hermione said in a tone mimicking Draco's.
Ron and Harry frowned at the same time, obviously they were very shameful about Draco's behavior of hiding behind his back and instructing others to retaliate. "But what does this have to do with the Notts going to sue Newbaren?"
Hermione looked annoyed at this moment, and she rubbed her forehead, missing Vio a little.
At least when she was there, the conversation wouldn't have become a situation where she was trying to explain, but the other two still didn't understand.
"For Merlin's sake, using your brain properly won't kill you, Ron!" Hermione said.
"If I'm right, Malfoy didn't even think about suing New Ballen in the first place, and it's all about Mr. Knott behind it."
"But what's in it for them?" Ron asked.
"Think about it, because the injured person is Malfoy, so when everyone hears about this, their first reaction must be that Mr. Nott was coerced by Mr. Malfoy to join the prosecution that had nothing to do with him, but sympathized with him.
In fact, Mr. Malfoy was the one who was forced to sue.
At the same time, he had once again formed a bond with both Hagrid and Dumbledore, following his failed attempt to oust Dumbledore from the school council last year. ”
Hermione hit the nail on the head when she pointed out the drawbacks: "This is very detrimental to Mr. Malfoy's continued candidacy for membership in the Wizengamot Wizarding Guild because Dumbledore is the president of that society!"
Both Harry and Ron looked at her silently, they were now in awe and jealous of Hermione.
"When did you start thinking about all of this, right?" asked Ron expectantly.
Before Hermione could reply, Hagrid rubbed her eyes and blew her nose loudly, then put the handkerchief on the table and said in a hoarse voice, "She's right, Dumbledore said the same thing."
When I received the letter, I had planned to go to Lucius Malfoy and fight (he said this, his gaze was a little unnatural) those weirdos, and no one understood what they were thinking every day.
Especially the weirdos on the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures!" Hagrid said, raising his hand to wipe his tears from his sleeve, "They're just those funny animals!"
A voice suddenly sounded in the corner of Hagrid's cabin, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione spun around quickly.
The hippony, the winged beast, Newbaron, was lying in the corner of the house, chewing something that made blood dripping from the floor.
"I can't tie it with a rope in the snow!" Hagrid choked up, "Alone!
Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked at each other.
They had never seen Hagrid face to face with what Hagrid called a "funny animal" and what others called a "scary monster".
New Ballen, on the other hand, doesn't seem to have any intention of harming anyone.
In fact, by Hagrid's usual standards, it's certainly cute.
"So, what are they going to do with Newbaren?" Harry asked, completely forgetting that he hadn't finished his heart.
"There, Harry," Hermione pointed sharply, pointing to the part of the letter that was dragging on the table.
A hearing will be held at the Commission's London office on April 20, and we will ask you and your Hippogriff to attend on that day.
During this time, Hippogriffs are to be tethered and isolated. Your colleague, there's a long list of school boards at the bottom.
"You have to prepare a strong defense, Hagrid. Hermione said, and she sat down and put her hand on Hagrid's thick forearm. "I'm sure you can prove that Newbalun doesn't hurt. ”
"That's no use," Hagrid sobbed, "the demons of the Disposition Committee, they're in the hands of Nott and Malfoy, and they're afraid of them, and if I lose the case, Newbaren ......"
Hagrid quickly swiped his finger to his throat, then let out a wail and fell to the side, burying his face in his arms.
"Did Dumbledore say anything other than tell you about Mr. Malfoy, Hagrid?" asked Harry.
"He's done enough for me," Hagrid groaned, "It's hard enough for him to keep those Dementors out of the castle, and Sirius Black wandering around......"
Ron and Hermione gave Harry a quick look, as if expecting him to reproach Hagrid for not telling him the truth about Black.
But Harry couldn't allow himself to do so, because he saw how miserable and frightened Hagrid was now.
"Listen, Hagrid," he said, "you can't give up. Hermione was right, you had to prepare your defense. You can call us witnesses. And"
Harry pondered for a moment, then reluctantly said, "Vio's aunt should know both Malfoy and Nott, she should be a good person, and we can go and ask Vio when necessary" (to be continued). )
