Chapter 339 Reasonable Judgment

"Why didn't you plan to ask me before?" asked George, curiously. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He is not ignorant of this matter, there are not many things in the academy, and the matter of the eagle-headed horse with winged beasts has been making a lot of noise. Harry, they've been busy with this, how could he not know about it.

But since Harry hadn't asked, he wasn't interested in meddling in the matter.

Harry and Hermione, Ron exchanged glances and said hesitantly, "We know you don't want to be nosy like this, and you don't have a crush on Hagrid, so we don't want to bother you about it." ”

George was in a very happy mood, and Harry was relieved that they could notice that he was not interested in the matter, so they had not come to ask for help.

He nodded, took a little juice and motioned for them to continue,

"We had wanted to settle the matter through a hearing, and we looked at a number of Hippogriff cases and found some examples of exculpation that Hagrid could use to exonerate Buckbeak. Harry spoke about their actions and preparations.

"But Hagrid screwed up, right? You shouldn't expect him to come in handy on an occasion like this. George said blandly.

He could imagine that Hagrid had never been a smart person, not even a normal person. He is a half-blood giant, he has been led to the wrong education, he can't keep up with the rhythm of normal society, he can't rely on the rules of normal society to do things well.

Hermione whispered, "I should have thought about this, I only thought about the case and the testimony, I didn't think about Hagrid at all, the biggest problem, I should have let him rehearse how to deal with the hearing in advance." ”

Hermione blamed herself in her heart, she regretted a little, she should have let Hagrid do the drill in advance, she only noticed the case and the testimony. But he didn't take into account that compared to the case and testimony, the most important thing is always the person.

"It's not your fault, you've done what you had to do. George comforted Hermione and said, "No one can do everything alone, everything has to be handled by the right people." ”

"The right person is the best solution, and they can always find a way to deal with the changing situation. It's the other way around, a person who doesn't fit, he can always mess up everything, no matter how much preparation you make. ”

He continued, "Even if you think about it in advance, it will actually turn out like this. Hagrid wasn't a kid anymore, and if he was fifteen or sixteen, maybe he could change. But he's almost seventy, and there's no way he's going to have a big change. You shouldn't have expected anything from him in the first place, and that's how he has been for the rest of his life. ”

George didn't think Hagrid could change anything, a half-blood giant who was nearly seventy years old, something he hadn't learned in decades, and it was even more impossible for him to learn it in the time to come.

Harry nodded and said, "It's not your fault, Hagrid saw those black robes at the hearing, like he saw a Dementor, he didn't pass out and it was already calculated, you expect him to remember the testimony in this situation, and still be able to say it in an orderly manner, that's impossible." ”

Ron comforted Hermione and said, "There's no way around it, to be honest, even I'm nervous when Hagrid says it." In a room surrounded by a group of people to pronounce the sentence, think about that picture, who is not afraid. ”

"But they decided to put Buckbeak to death, and they had already arranged for the executioner. Hermione said worriedly, "Hagrid is going to die of grief." ”

"Lucius took control of the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures, and he made the decision for them, and Malfoy knew about it early on, so he was so sure that Buckbeak was going to die, and he began to celebrate in advance. They--"

Harry said exasperatedly. The thought of Malfoy and Lucius' faces made Harry angry.

George interrupted Harry abruptly and said, "This may not be the case, it seems to me that the Dangerous Biological Disposal Committee's verdict on Buckbeak is right. ”

"What, how?" cried out the three of them in surprise.

"Nothing strange. George said disapprovingly, "Except for Hagrid, no one would have a good opinion of the Hippogriff. The Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures has always executed monsters that have attacked wizards in such cases, which is a wizard tradition. ”

He added, "If you don't put yourself in the shoes of Hagrid's friends and just think of it as an attack thousands of miles away, you don't think there's anything wrong with executing a monster who attacked a student." ”

Everyone was silent, and they asked themselves if it weren't for Hagrid's position if they would have had a preconceived notion that it would be a mistake to execute an attacking Hippogriff.

Harry shook his head and said, "I don't know, I guess I don't care about it at all, and I certainly don't have an opinion. "That's really what he thinks, he doesn't care about things that are too far away, and he's been indifferent to the Muggle world since he came to wizarding.

Ron whispered, "I think it's a fitting thing to do to execute an attacking Hippogriff, and all monsters that attack people should be executed, after all, I'm a wizard, and I'm not friends with monsters." ”

His father, Arthur Weasley, was a member of the Ministry of Magic, and regardless of whether or not he would ignore the Ministry's bans on hobbies, Ron knew the importance of following the law on key issues.

Hermione said very unconfidently, "They don't have to kill it, maybe they can lock it up, maybe-" At the end, she was silent, and she didn't know what to do with it.

As for the death penalty, she thought it was too cruel after all, and the Muggle world had discussed the abolition of the death penalty, and Hermione was a little inclined in that direction. She believes that the death penalty should be taken very seriously, and that unless it is a big bad guy like Voldemort, no one else should be easily deprived of their lives.

But it immediately occurred to her that it was unrealistic and not a good idea to lock up a hippony-winged beast for a long time.

George said calmly, "There is nothing inappropriate about the sentence to execute Buckbeak, it is an irrefutable fact that the Hippogriff attacked Malfoy in class. Whether Malfoy provoked it or not, as a monster, in the human world must restrain its minions. ”
