Chapter 116: Hagrid's Request

Professor Trelawney seemed to be choked by Malfoy's remarks, and for the next hour or two, he behaved almost like a normal person, much to the disappointment of Draco, who had been expecting her to behave amazingly, until lunch was over, when Augustus was the first to get up and leave his seat.

The cute wand began to explode again, "Oh my God, the shadow of death is one step closer to you, Mr. Augustus, be the first to leave in such a dangerous meal, your perception of death is really too vague, if I were you, it would be better not to leave the school for the next month, otherwise, everything will be dusted and no one can save you." Ay! ”

"Thank you Professor for reminding me, if you have this opportunity, you might as well practice it." Augustus smiled nonchalantly, and Malfoy and Lillian stood up, ready to leave with Augustus.

"I don't think it makes a difference, Sibil, Professor McGonagall," said Professor McGonagall indifferently, "unless there is a mad axe waiting outside the door, intent on cutting down the first person who walks into the foyer. ”

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

The next day, classes began. Spending two hours on the playground on a cold January morning is the last thing people want to do; But Hagrid lit a fire, full of fire monsters, for everyone's amusement, and the students had an unusually good lesson, collecting dead leaves to keep the fire going, and flame-loving lizards jumping up and down on the burnt, self-heating wood.

Malfoy grinned and picked up his wand to blow out the fire monster in the fire, burning the corner of Pansy's skirt, a relatively warm lesson, under Malfoy's active destruction, became a joke again, Hagrid's face couldn't hide the look of disappointment, even if Harry and Ron continued to comfort, it didn't seem to have any effect, now, Gryffindor's collective dislike for Malfoy, seems to have reached a peak, if it weren't for Augustus, I'm afraid Malfoy would have been attacked by a group.

At the end of the class, Hagrid was left alone with Augustus, seemingly with some personal matters. Augustus motioned for Malfoy and Lillian to go back first, and went to the Forbidden Lodge alone with Hagrid.

Hagrid brewed a pot of fragrant tea, took out a few rocky flatbreads, and sat down with Augustus at the wooden table.

"Mr. Augustus, yes, you seem to have a good relationship with Malfoy, you were also present at the time of Buckbeak's injury incident, and the reason why it hurt Malfoy was also because Malfoy first made insults, so the situation has evolved to this point, and now, Malfoy's father Lucius is going to sue Buckbeak, and those Animal Council members have convicted him and are ready to be executed at a later date, and Mr. Dumbledore is also running around for this matter, but unfortunately it doesn't have much effect. Now, I have been thinking for a long time, maybe only you can save it, I wonder if you can look at the moral standpoint and persuade Malfoy to withdraw the lawsuit. Hagrid looked at Augustus earnestly, his eyes full of expectation.

Augustus picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and thought quietly for a while, "From the standpoint of a normal person, this matter is indeed Malfoy's fault first, but you also know the way in the wizarding world, and these magical animals will never be tolerated because they are human faults, and the status of the two is not at the same level at all, so even if Malfoy is in defeat in terms of public opinion and morality, the Animal Committee still decided to execute Buckbeak, which is also the reason why Mr. Dumbledore can't change the result." As for me, even though I had a good relationship with Malfoy, I didn't get to the point where I could change his father's decision. So. The rest of the words weren't explicitly stated, but Hagrid clearly understood.

Decadently lowering his head, Hagrid's face was full of despair, Augustus was already the last straw he could grasp, he also understood, in fact, he and Augustus were only a few sides of each other, how could it be so simple to move, but Augustus's reputation has always been very good, even if it is a Slytherin, everyone's evaluation of him is quite positive, so he can only be cheeky and plead, wanting to ask him for help from a moral standpoint, now, maybe everything is a foregone conclusion, no one can save Buckbeak.

"But," Augustus touched his chin, "I actually have a good relationship with Buckbeak, and even if the animal committee makes a decision, naturally I can't watch it be executed like this, so let's write a letter back, and I can't say what will happen to the worst of things, but I try my best." ”

Hagrid's eyes suddenly lit up, even if he was as lonely as him, he knew the status of the Julius family in the wizarding world, if Augustus was willing to write back in person, even with the power of the Malfoy family, it would be difficult to do anything more, and it was even more direct to persuade Malfoy to withdraw the lawsuit, and there was no need to worry about what troubles the Malfoy family would have again.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Augustus, I don't know what to say, you are so helpful, you are a benefactor of Buckbeak's reinvention." Hagrid was moved to tears and sincerely thanked, his eyes full of gratitude.

"I'm just doing my best, Malfoy is indeed a little too much this time, I believe that no one with a conscience will let Buckbeak die in vain, rest assured, even if I don't come forward, there will be many moral people who will come forward to stop it." Augustus smiled and nodded, signaling Hagrid not to get too excited.

"Okay, you don't have to worry too much about the rest, Buckbeak will definitely survive this catastrophe safely, and I still have classes next, so I'll leave first." Augustus got up to say goodbye to Hagrid and prepared to leave.

"It's good, if you don't dislike it, if you have a chance in the future, you must come to be a guest often." Hagrid stood up to see Augustus off, a sincere smile on his face.

Saying goodbye to Hagrid, Augustus seemed late for the first divination lesson of the new semester, and Professor Trelawney was now teaching them palmistry.

"The so-called handprints, since ancient times, has been like countless branches of the history of the long stream has determined the fate of countless living beings, the long river of fate is determined by the diversion of human beings, and palmistry, since it is the most direct process of determining individual life, a person's handprint in a sense has represented his life's work, from life to love to the career after growth, any line, is definitely not formed by chance, destiny, from the moment of birth, has chosen a good path for you."

It must be said that Trelawney was still very experienced in fooling people, and if it weren't for the fact that at the end of the day, she wasted no time in telling Augustus that the lifeline in his hand was the shortest she had ever seen, and the lesson would have been perfect.
