"Hagrid, what's wrong with you?" Hermione expressed concern for Hagrid. On Christmas Day, Hagrid didn't go to the banquet and hid in the library crying alone. No matter what, it seemed like something big had happened.
When Hagrid heard what she said, he cried even harder. Just now he could suppress his voice and cry muffledly, but now he burst into tears.
Tom looked at Hagrid carefully and found that he was in really bad condition today: his hair was disheveled, his beard was unkempt - even worse than usual, his eyes were red and swollen, and he smelled of alcohol.
Hagrid took out a handkerchief from his arms, blew his nose, and made a trumpet-like sound. After blowing his nose, he cried and rushed towards Tom.
How could Tom dare to pick it up? With Hagrid's tonnage, the difference between being hit by him and being hit by a car was really small. So he turned sideways a little and watched Hagrid throw himself on the bookshelf with a muffled sound. The one was full of books.
The huge bookshelf creaked and groaned, shaking violently, and the books on it also swayed. Fortunately, it was heavy enough and was not knocked over by Hagrid.
Hagrid lay on the desk crying for a long time. During this period, Mrs. Pince heard the sound and came over. When she saw that Hagrid was the one who was out of control, she silently put away the feather duster in her hand and turned away. She is a reasonable person.
People, and the most reasonable person in the library right now is the tall and powerful Hagrid.
If you have emotions in your heart, you will feel better if you cry. As the tears flowed out, Hagrid's mood gradually became stable. He took out an envelope with the seal of the Ministry of Magic from his arms and handed it to Tom.
Tom opened it and saw a notification letter inside.
[Dear Mr. Hagrid: Regarding the Hippogriff attack on students in your class, after further investigation, we have accepted Professor Dumbledore’s guarantee that you were not involved in this regrettable incident.
any liability.
But we have to express concerns about the hippogriff. We have now decided to support Mr. Lucius Malfoy's formal complaint and refer the case to the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures. The hearing date is scheduled for April 24th.
Please bring your hippogriff to report to the Commission's London office. During this period, the hippogriff should be properly tethered and isolated.
My heartfelt greetings...]
After reading the notice, both Tom and Hermione understood why Hagrid was in so much pain.
"Calm down, Hagrid. Things haven't reached the point of no return yet. What you have to prepare for now is the lawsuit on April 24th." Hermione said. She walked over to Hagrid and put her hand on Hagrid's side.
Hagrid's thick forearm, "You must prepare a strong defense, Hagrid. I'm sure you can prove that Buckbeak will not hurt anyone."
Hagrid shook his head and sobbed twice, "You don't understand those weirdos on the Dangerous Creatures Committee! They won't let these interesting animals go!"
Tom and Hermione:…
Hagrid's definition of animals is still so strange. Most of the animals Hagrid is close to are what other people call "monsters". In Hagrid's eyes, these extremely dangerous animals are nothing more than small pets.
The current Hagrid is a bit like a child who doesn't want to give away his pet, but unlike the child, Hagrid is more sensible. At least he is not so willful as to directly release Buckbeak - because this will cause
His guarantor Dumbledore brings trouble.
Tom's focus was very unique. What he was thinking was, under such chaotic circumstances, the Ministry of Magic still had time to try this small case?
He underestimated the offensive launched by Bones and overestimated Fudge's determination to resist. In fact, Fudge did not take any resistance measures and simply decided to step down.
Fudge was still very good at sizing up the situation. His timely exit gave Bones the feeling of punching the air. According to the unspoken rules of the Ministry of Magic, Fudge had surrendered, and Bones should stop attacking Fudge.
Reckoning – that’s what she did too.
In the original world line, Fudge caused more trouble than now: during his tenure, Voldemort came back, but he did not take any measures. Instead, he suppressed Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix. As a result, he stepped down and fell into disgrace.
No matter what happened, he actually had the nerve to show up at Dumbledore's funeral.
Thanks to the unspoken rules of the Ministry of Magic, Fudge was able to live such a prosperous life. Not only Fudge, but also his followers were not implicated, they were just marginalized.
Bones's compromise resulted in the rapid stability and restoration of order in the Ministry of Magic. The Ministry of Magic only fell into brief chaos during the half-day when the Howling Letter came, and then returned to normal.
Now Ms. Bones is just one speech and one announcement away from becoming Minister for Magic.
Thanks to this, the Ministry of Magic's handling of Hagrid's case was carried out according to the normal schedule. Tom wanted to complain that Hagrid's case was launched in September, and the verdict was not reached until December, and the final trial will not be until next year.
It will only be held in April, which is ridiculously fast.
However, Ms. Bones seems a little ignorant... Tom thought about it and was a little dissatisfied with Bones. Who is Hagrid? There is no doubt that he is Dumbledore's man. Who is Lucius?
?Definitely not Dumbledore's person. Nor Fudge's person. He is the person behind Fudge.
Hagrid's case became less pure after Lucius got involved and Dumbledore became the guarantor. It became a wrestling match between Dumbledore and the pure-blood nobles.
Obviously, according to the normal world line, Dumbledore failed miserably: he came forward to vouch for Hagrid's innocence, but Hagrid and his Hippogriff were still sent to trial. Dumbledore found Newt, hoping that he could save him
Buckbeak, but also failed - if it weren't for Dumbledore's clever use of the time turner, Buckbeak's head would have been made into a souvenir.
Maybe Dumbledore didn't think so much, but in the eyes of other wizards, Dumbledore failed in the duel with Lucius Malfoy, and in the end he could only rely on cleverness to save his respect. This greatly damaged his
The reputation made the neutrals feel that Dumbledore was too old to protect his loyal younger brother.
Fudge took office in 1990. Why did Fudge's attitude toward him change from writing to inquire about every detail just six years later to daring to openly smear him in newspapers?

Today, I’m going to tell the story of Faris Spavin, the 20th Minister of Magic. To correct you, he is the longest-serving Minister of Magic. And his existence has changed my view on life expectancy in the wizarding world.
.This minister was already 147 years old when he stepped aside! He has exceeded the limits of human beings.
After reading his life experience, I was also surprised that such a trouble-making minister was not impeached and removed from office...
