Chapter 340： legal liability

Chapter 340

"Of course, as a monster, it lacks the ability to control itself, and its owner should not bring it to students' classrooms. But since it has happened, someone must be responsible for it."

George asked, "You don't think that a monster that has been raised by someone has attacked a person, so you can be completely blameless."

"You don't think so, do you?" He stared straight at the other people, his eyes a little daunting, as if he fully believed that they would not have such thoughts that they shouldn't have.

Looking at George's eyes, Harry, Hermione and Ron were like trained, using the same rhythm, shaking their heads desperately, "No, no, absolutely not." They patted their chests and promised. .

"Yeah!" George nodded, seeming to be dissatisfied with their answers, and he continued, "Since he must be held responsible, the execution of Buckbeak is a completely correct sentence. On the other hand, Hagrid, as a guardian, should actually Bear joint and several liability."

"Of course." He added, "Dumbledore helped Hagrid escaped, but he had no reason to help Buckbeak also break the law and escape sanctions. If he did that, it would look very inappropriate and look down. The law is nothing."

"Oh!" Harry suddenly realized, "No wonder Dumbledore didn't have a brain to solve these problems. It turned out that he couldn't help Buckbeak exonerate."

He still had questions before, why Dumbledore didn't solve these problems with a single mind. Dumbledore knew that Hagrid would be sad, and he also knew that Hagrid was unable to keep Buckbeak. It turns out that Dumbledore could not acquit Buckbeak.

"Then we were working for nothing from the beginning." Ron said with some chagrin, "it is impossible for us to exonerate Buckbeak." He didn't think so deeply before, he just thought it was an ordinary The verdict requires only some historical data and evidence.

"It is not entirely impossible. The previous hearing is an important defense opportunity. It is a necessity for procedural justice, a place for the exchange of interests, and a market for mutual bargaining." George said lightly.

"Benefit exchange? Bargaining?" The three of Harry are completely unknown. So, isn't it a hearing? Isn't it time to explain the case and history? How did it become the exchange of interests and the settlement of bargaining?

George explained slowly, "Yes, the exchange of interests, bargaining. The law is also an exchange of interests after all. If Dumbledore is willing to pay some price, Buckbeak can keep it, just like he protected Hagrid."

Harry suddenly felt dry and dry. He licked his dry lips and said, "What happened in class was not what Hagrid wanted to happen. He didn't intend it. Dumbledore was willing to testify for him again, so he I was spared the punishment. There should be no exchange of benefits."

"That's because you are too young and naive, why there is no benefit exchange." George looked through all the expressions, and Zhizhu was holding it.

Harry, Hermione, and Ron all felt a little embarrassed. George was obviously as old as them, but they were not good to remind this, quietly watching George wait for him to continue talking.

"Whether something happened was intentional or accidental. It is definitely not for the person involved to speak casually. Hagrid must have said that he was not intentional, but Malfoy must have said that Hagrid was intentional, right." George Speak slowly.

They all nodded. They really couldn't be said by Hagrid and Malfoy's unilateral remarks. They asked, "Then who can determine whether Hagrid is intentional or just accidental?"

"The important thing is not intentional or accidental. There are rules and prohibitions." George gave an example and said, "Do you remember the law of the Department of Preventing Muggle Misuse?"

Harry and Hermione both turned their eyes to Ron. This was his father's work department, he should know.

Ron was a little embarrassed and stammered, "I'm not sure I didn't plan to go there to work." Although his father often tells him about work, it's not bad that he can listen to it casually, how can he remember Those weird legal regulations.

George was shocked. The example seemed to have failed. He coughed slightly, skipped this point, and continued.

"To put it simply, it is illegal for wizards to modify Muggle items at will. Wizards are not allowed to modify Muggle items at will. They even banned flying carpets because they think blankets are commonly used by Muggles. ."

Hearing this, Hermione also thought of something, so she asked cautiously, "It is forbidden for wizards to transform Muggle items, so breeding dangerous species is also forbidden."

George nodded and motioned for her to continue.

"There are strict prohibitions on raising dangerous species. For some extremely dangerous species, just holding their eggs will trigger strict laws The eight-eyed giant spider that George killed before is that The most dangerous category. Although they are not particularly powerful, their ability to reproduce is very terrible. Once they become flooded, they can even eat people in the entire city."

"If Hagrid's privately raising these eight-eyed giant spiders is confirmed by the Ministry of Magic, he will have to be imprisoned in Azkaban for at least 500 years." Hermione whispered to explain some related prohibitions on raising dangerous species.

Harry and Ron felt that their throats were congested, and they swallowed hard to avoid imagining Hagrid's felony.

"That’s right. In fact, there are related laws in the Muggle world. Importing and possessing some dangerous creatures and plants will cause terrible consequences. In serious cases, Muggles who violate these laws will be punished. Death penalty and life imprisonment."

George said solemnly, emphasizing the seriousness of this matter.

"Of course, eagle-headed horse-winged beasts can only be ranked in the middle of the ranking of dangerous creatures in the Ministry of Magic. They are not considered the most dangerous species. They can be kept under legal circumstances. But"

George emphasized, "This absolutely does not include releasing these dangerous species to create an attack without restrictions."

"To bring the eagle-headed horse-body winged beasts to public places, they must be covered with magic-enhanced ropes, and they must be brought with bits. Their owners must hold them firmly so that they will not have any chance to hurt them. Other wizards."

"It is an extremely stupid decision to let them appear in the classroom. The owners of these monsters need to take full responsibility for their attacks and destruction."

George said strongly, "Regardless of whether Hagrid was stupid or deliberate, he has committed the crime of dangerous creatures endangering public safety."
