Chapter Ninety-One: Saving the Big Bird...... Buckbeak
Shirley and Hermione came to the Quidditch pitch to see Rove, and they made an appointment with him to visit Hagrid today.
Hagrid hasn't been seen in the auditorium for a week since the Magical Beasts Conservation class had a teaching accident, and everyone is rumored to be missing.
When they walked through the meadow to Hagrid's cabin, they found a hippogriff tied to the door.
Its name was Buckbeak, and it was it that hurt Malfoy.
Toothtooth sat in the doorway, barking at Buckbeak and trying to bite its hind legs, looking very fierce and very like a large dog.
Shirley sighed and said in surprise: "Is Yaya so powerful now?" ”
In her memory, Yaya was very timid, and when she encountered danger, she would always be the first to run away.
Rov thought for a moment, and he suddenly raised his wand and aimed it at the rope around Buckbeak's neck.
The rope was detached from the stake, and Buckbeak expanded his range of motion and walked towards the teeth, the horse's hooves stomping on the ground making a "dede" sound.
Tooth immediately curled up on the ground, barking into a wail, and then wagging his tail desperately, looking very humble.
It's you, Yaya!
Such a humiliating act was unanimously despised by Rove, Shirley, and Hermione.
Even Crookshan, in Hermione's arms, glanced at her teeth with disgust.
Rove walked to the cabin, knocked on the door, and said, "Hagrid, are you home?" ”
The door opened, revealing Hagrid's large, bearded face, his eyes red and swollen, tears streaming down his cheeks and falling on the placket of his leather waistcoat.
"Woo...... You three little ones are here...... Come on in. ”
It was the first time they had seen Hagrid cry like this, and they were all startled by him.
They walked into the room, only to find Harry and Ron still sitting in the cabin, and they had come to visit Hagrid.
Rove smelled the strong smell of wine, he sniffled and frowned, "Hagrid, how much wine have you drunk?" ”
"Rov, I just counted." Harry whispered, "There are seventeen bottles of flame whiskey alone, and four barrels of butterbeer, all empty......"
“……”
"Rove, I need alcohol to numb my nerves right now." Hagrid picked up a single-handled magnum about the size of a bucket and poured it into it.
"Hagrid, didn't the school fire you?" Shirley asked.
"But the school directors already knew I had a teaching accident." Hagrid tugged at his hair and said bitterly:
"They think I'm presumptuous, and I should let the Hippogriff play again later...... It's all my ......."
"Hagrid, don't worry, the school won't fire you." Rove reassured, "Look at Professor Snape, he made a teaching accident, but he did a good job. ”
"That's when no one complained about Professor Snape, but Malfoy wouldn't let me go...... He's complaining and campaigning non-stop. Hagrid sobbed, his whole body trembling.
"I've also heard that he wants to hand Buckbeak over to the Ministry of Magic's Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures, a proposal that is being discussed by the school's board of trustees."
"Will the Ministry of Magic give a fair trial?" Harry asked.
"Impartiality?" Hagrid choked up, wiped his tears with his sleeve and said:
"Harry, you don't know about the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures, they are a group of cruel wizards who hate all magical creatures."
"Yes, I've heard my dad say that, too." Ron shuddered and said, "None of the magical creatures that enter there will escape the judgment and will eventually be killed." ”
"Why?" Harifey explained.
"It is rumored that the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Organisms has been cooperating with some pharmacies for a long time." Rove explains:
"Pharmacies can't kill rare magical creatures, that would be against the law. However, the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures has the power to sentence magical creatures to death.
They would then sell the carcasses to pharmacies, which would not be a crime, and that would have formed an industrial chain. ”
This kind of thing is the same as buying and selling organs, there are always various channels anyway.
It was the first time for several people here to hear about this kind of thing, and they were also shocked at this time.
"That's right." Hagrid wept bitterly, and her whole body convulsed violently.
"It's not bad that Buckbeak died under a sharp axe, but I can't accept it if its body is sent to the pharmacy."
Harry felt powerless, and he asked, "What did Dumbledore say, Hagrid?" ”
"Dumbledore has done enough for me." Hagrid groaned, "It's hard enough for him to keep the Dementors out of the castle, and with Peter wandering around, there's no way I'm going to bother him for such a trivial matter." ”
Harry looked at Ron again and said, "Mr. Wesley......"
"Harry, my dad works in the Division for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Items." Ron's pale lips stammered:
"He can't manage the disposal committee, and he was suspended for a period of time last year because of the flying car......"
"Then we can't do anything?" Harry grimaced angrily, "It's Malfoy's fault. ”
Shirley stared into Rove's eyes and said in a soft voice, "Rove, do you have a way?" ”
Others may not be able to, but Rove certainly has, and he can always solve all problems...... This is her biggest feeling after a few years of getting along.
Rove gave the ponytailed girl a smile, and he said abruptly:
"As long as this matter is not allowed to be handed over to the Committee for the Disposal of Hazardous Organisms."
"In the final analysis, this matter is a teaching accident, and the Hippogriff is also a teaching equipment, and the Education Administration has full authority to take over."
"But I don't know anyone at the Education Authority." Hagrid's voice hoarse.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Rove, and the young man said:
"I have acquaintances...... Mrs. Geselda Marchiban, who is the Superintendent of the Education Authority, met Nicol at her funeral.
We've been in correspondence for the past year so that she can come forward to review the matter. ”
"Is that okay?" Hagrid became excited.
"Absolutely." Rove nodded, "But Lady Gestilda Marchiban will not take sides, she is fair and will not accept Malfoy's threats, but she will not take our word for it."
So Hagrid, you can't be so decadent again, you have to work hard to teach your lesson on the protection of magical beasts first, at least there must be no more teaching accidents, and drinking is even more wrong. ”
"Yes, I think you've drunk enough, Hagrid, and you can't touch wine again."
Hermione stood up, took the one-handled goblet off the table, and went outside to pour the wine, and she threw the other bottles out.
This act seemed to freak Hagrid out, and he rubbed his cheeks and cheered up, "You're right, I can't drink anymore." ”
He struggled to get up from his chair and stuck his head into the bucket to sober himself up a little.
Rove stood up, and all eyes were on him, and he said seriously:
"Anyway, Hagrid, you're going to listen to us next. Rest assured, I'm here...... We will win this trial and acquit Buckbeak from the Ministry of Magic.
Don't forget, I'm a magizoologist! ”
