Chapter 779： guilty

Chapter 779 Guilty

"Guilty? Of course not, I never thought the Hippogriff was guilty." Hagrid took a deep breath and started flipping through the cards in his hand to find the answer.

This old man is really insidious.

Thanks to Albert's reminder, otherwise he might be led by the nose.

"Then why do you want to change the sentence to compensate the victim for medical expenses?" demanded the elderly wizard, all he had to do was convict the Hippogriff.

As long as the guilty, you can be sentenced to death.

Hagrid glanced at the contents of the card in his hand, and he was not at all shy about the old wizard's question, and Albert even helped him figure out the answer to the question.

"That's just my sympathy for Mr. Malfoy and my worries about their family's economy."

After finishing speaking, Hagrid glanced at Lucius provocatively, and continued to read the content to the hand card, he said louder and louder: "As far as I know, Mr. Lucius Malfoy has already spent money to win this appeal." A large sum of Galleons, seems to be a little tight on hand. Of course, this is also a little kindness from me, which can make their life not too bad. You can think of it as my humanitarian aid, of course, since I have nothing to add Long, you can only sponsor 50 Galleons."

Albert got this Galleon from Malfoy, and it doesn't feel bad to spend it.

Hagrid's summary of meaning is to spend money to settle, but the money is very reluctant.

After Hagrid finished speaking, the old wizard looked at Lucius Malfoy and asked, "Mr. Malfoy, do you agree with Mr. Hagrid's proposal to resolve this matter peacefully, and he will compensate you 50 Galleons."

Hagrid was willing to spend 50 Galleons to settle the matter. It can be seen that he was already very sincere. After all, Draco Malfoy didn't suffer too much damage.

If it is an ordinary case, the final amount of compensation is probably left to be finalized.

This old wizard from the Dangerous Creatures Committee actually hopes to solve the problem in this way, but he also knows that this is almost impossible.

Lucius Malfoy obviously didn't intend to let it go. He spent more than 50 Galleons on this matter.

Lucius Malfoy spent so much time trying to kill the Hippogriff, not just because his son Draco was injured, but because he wanted to use this to hit Hagrid and make Deng feel sick. Bullido.

Otherwise, the scene in front of you would never have happened.

The grievances between Malfoy and Dumbledore originated from the views on wizard blood in Hogwarts' adaptation of the wizard fairy tale "Fountain of Fortune" when Armando Dippet was the headmaster.

"I don't agree, gentlemen." Lucius Malfoy said arrogantly, "My son has been greatly injured, and that crazy beast should be punished as it should be."

Dumbledore watched all this silently. As a witness, he could not participate in this debate. This was one of the reasons why Lucius Malfoy chose Dumbledore as a witness.

Honestly speaking, he was very interested in the development of this matter. Mr. Anderson obviously made sufficient preparations for Hagrid.

"The compensation of 50 Galleons still can't calm your anger? Do you want to get more Galleons from me? I really underestimated your greed." Hagrid put a hand card into his pocket.

"The Malfoy family won't be short of your Galleons." Lucius looked at Hagrid with the eyes of a turkey, "You should keep that Galleons for yourself!"

"I see. It seems that 50 Galleons can't impress you, so how much Galleons do you want? 500 Galleons or 5000 Galleons." Hagrid asked suddenly.

Draco Malfoy, who originally planned to come to see Hagrid's jokes, was stunned by Hagrid's eloquent talk.

Is this really the Professor of Protection of Magical Creatures he knows?

It's like a different person.

"I really don't understand why you want to protect a crazy Hippogriff." Lucius sneered, "Could it be that you deliberately ordered the Hippogriff to hurt people?"

"Mr. Malfoy, do you have evidence to prove your allegations?" The old wizard asked with a frown.

"Gentlemen, I think Mr. Malfoy is distorting the facts." Hagrid raised his hand and said, "His son Draco Malfoy was harmed, and it is entirely his own fault. I have evidence, witnesses, and my next Responsible for every word."

"Before class, I told all the students: Hippogriffs are very proud and lose their temper easily. Don't humiliate it, otherwise you will be injured or die."

The old wizard looked at Draco, then retracted his gaze and frowned at the eloquent Hagrid.

"As one of the few wizards who can tame the hippogriff, I can tell you officially that the hippogriff does not take the initiative to attack wizards. Professor Silvanos Ketelber and Wilmina Guerra Ms. Pullan is an authority in this area, and they can testify for me." Hagrid continued, "If you think their words are not credible, you can ask Mr. Newt Scamander, he is in this area..."

"Hagrid, doesn't that prove anything?" the old wizard interrupted.

"If even experts can't prove it, then who do you think can prove it?" Hagrid asked rhetorically, "Mr. Malfoy who is not even an expert?"

"The problem is that the beast hurt people, Hagrid, that's the point." The old wizard found that Hagrid was more difficult than last time.

If it wasn't for Garen who accepted Lucius, he didn't want to get involved in this matter at all.

"If someone dares to poke a dragon in the eye on purpose, he deserves to be eaten or burned to death by dragon flames." Hagrid said indifferently.

"It's two different things at all."

"I still remember that when the Hippogriff recognized Draco Malfoy and bowed his head to him, that Mr. Malfoy called it a big ugly beast and that's why it was attacked. It's like someone Dare to deliberately reach out to poke the fire dragon's eyes, why do you do it on purpose when you know it's dangerous?"

"So, we didn't pursue your issue." Lucius said coldly, "What we are discussing now is the Hippogriff's attack."

"With all due respect, Mr. Lucius Malfoy, is your son out of his mind? If he's out of his mind, why would he provoke the Hippogriff? Does he think it's funny to play with his own life? ?” Hagrid taunted mercilessly, “If this is the case, you should take him to St. Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, because there may be something wrong with his brain. Deliberately reaching out to grab the tail of my hound, and after being bitten by the dog, take me to court."

Lucius put his hand on his son's shoulder, and looked at Hagrid with indifferent eyes, the malice in his eyes was about to seep out.

"Hagrid, the hippogriff hurt someone, and it should be punished."

"I don't remember the laws of the Ministry of Magic stipulating that the punishment must be death." Hagrid sneered, "As far as I know, the person involved is still alive? Someone told me that our Mr. In three days, he was able to fight with the hand he claimed was badly injured. I can also provide witnesses if needed, and there are more than one."

Hagrid started to reveal the truth, not saving face for others at all. He looked at Lucius and sneered, "Don't think that I can't help you spend money to get my legal advisor away. Before that, I I have already asked him about relevant legal knowledge."

"You want to execute the hippogriff at all against the law, because your son is not dead, let alone seriously injured." Hagrid stared at the old wizard and said, "I can provide evidence for this."

"Hagrid, the hippogriff hurt someone, and it should be punished," the old wizard repeated.

"Then, can you tell me what the punishment is, shouldn't it be execution again?" Hagrid sneered, he finally understood why Albert said he couldn't win.

"Since that Hippogriff is crazy, it should be executed to avoid similar accidents from happening again." The elderly wizard seemed to have spent a lot of effort to finish the sentence.

"Why bother, I know you took 200 Galleons from Lucius." Hagrid suddenly said, "But why bother, this Galleon is not easy to get."

"You are purely slandering, how dare you slander Ministry of Magic officials." The aged wizard roared angrily.

"Slander, whether there is slander, you know it yourself, don't think I don't know that you are his accomplice. I have recorded all the conversations in this trial. It is fair or not, and I will leave it to people to judge." said Hagrid expressionlessly.

"How dare you... No one will believe your words."

The old wizard had a bad feeling that Hagrid was acting abnormally, but he had no other way out now.

"Slander, if you don't have it, why are you afraid?" Hagrid looked at the old man in front of him with a sneer and said, since he has already torn his face, there is no need to be polite.

Albert once told him that as long as he recorded the content of the trial, he would have the opportunity to send the old guy in front of him to Azkaban Prison in two years.

Although he didn't know the reason, Hagrid would not forgive the **** who paid for his dereliction of duty.

"Now, I pronounce the insane Hippogriff guilty and immediately execute the beheading, the executioner appointed by the committee, Walton McNeill..."

Cough cough, Dumbledore coughed lightly, and interjected: "I suggest that the execution time be at night to avoid other students watching. I don't want my students to see the **** scene. Before that, I will make sure that the eagle Winged beasts won't run away. Of course, you can also go over there and watch by yourself."

"Then carry out the execution at sunset." The old wizard gave Hagrid a hard look, and said to Dumbledore, "The professor you hired is not rational."

"He's just too sad." Dumbledore was also very surprised at Hagrid's toughness, Albert obviously said something to Hagrid.

However, he suspected that the poor old man in front of him might be lost at the end of the festival.

(Lucius and Walton McNeill are both Death Eaters)

After Lucius Malfoy took his son away triumphantly, Dumbledore said to Hagrid, "You were too excited just now."

"Sorry, but you should have seen that, they don't want to give Buckbeak a life at all." Hagrid took a sip of the tranquilizer from his pocket. "Although Albert has told me about this, I still... well, he is right, cowardice is not advisable. Any laws and prohibitions of the Ministry of Magic are only for those ordinary people who have no power and power, and For those who have money, officials are useless."

After a moment of silence, Dumbledore asked, "What else did he say?"

"He just wants me to record the process just now, and said that in two years, the old man just now may be fired for dereliction of duty, and may even be thrown into Azkaban Prison." Hagrid shrugged, and from his pocket Take out a round thing, a bit like a memory ball.

"Mr. Anderson made it?" Dumbledore looked at the ball in Hagrid's hand, and already guessed what it was used for.

"Yeah, he gave it to me."

"It seems that Mr. Anderson has found a solution to this matter." Dumbledore sighed softly, "What a reliable friend."

"I don't know, he didn't say anything." Hagrid shook his head.

"Shameless Depravity!"

On the wall behind Dumbledore's desk, a portrait of a fat wizard with a red nose bellows, "In my day, the Ministry of Magic never did that!"

“The current justice system is really an eye-opener!”

Phineas smiled and said to Dumbledore, "How about it, do you regret giving up the position of Minister of Magic? If you became Minister of Magic, maybe the situation would not be so bad."

To be honest, Phineas could tell at a glance that the old wizard of the Dangerous Creatures Committee had accepted Lucius Malfoy's Gallon.

"No." Dumbledore said.

"What?"

"Even if I become the Minister of Magic, it is impossible to change anything." Dumbledore said calmly, "If you want to completely change the current situation of the Ministry of Magic, you need an opportunity."

"Opportunity?" Hagrid repeated in confusion.

"Actually, I don't know when the opportunity will appear. Maybe Mr. Anderson knows." Dumbledore is very clear about the situation of the Ministry of Magic. Even if he really becomes the Minister of Magic, he can't change it. Instead, he will be held back by a lot of things. Voldemort's remnants will definitely do everything in his power to make trouble for him, and they will lose the chance to train Harry himself.

Dumbledore is actually afraid of the temptation of power. He is not sure what he will do after he takes power, so the best way is to stay away from power.

Sometimes, Dumbledore was quite envious of his old friend Tiberus Ogden, they really had a good time.

Unfortunately, he can't do that yet.

"Perhaps, you should take the time to chat with that Mr. Anderson, prophets are not common." A portrait suggested.

"Well, your name is Hagrid, right? If possible, can you ask him to come here? I want to hire that Mr. Anderson to help me with divination." Phineas said suddenly.

"We're dead Phineas," another portrait reminds.

"I know, but I want to know something."

"I can tell you, but..." Hagrid glanced at Dumbledore and said, "I think Anderson will ask you for a lot of money."
