Chapter 191

Hermione in the crowd looked at Solim with a complicated expression, and only a few people in the small hall knew what was going on.

"Mr. Selwyn. Fudge looked at Solim with a solemn expression, "Do you think Rubeus Hagrid is innocent?

"Mr. Minister, I'm not done yet. Owing to Fudge, Solim continued, "It is an indisputable fact that Mr. Malfoy is at fault, but Hagrid ...... Uh, isn't the professor wrong? Mr. Minister, may you allow me to ask Professor Hagrid a few questions. "

"Allowed. "

"Professor Hagrid, how many Hippogriffs did you bring to your students' lessons?"

"Ten...... A dozen. "There are quite a few Hippogriffs in the Forbidden Forest, and he can't remember how many Hagrid brought with him.

"It's twelve. Solim reminded, "There are eleven on the ground besides the one that Mr. Potter was riding. "

"Mr. Minister, I have questions. The member of the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Organisms on one side spoke suddenly, and after obtaining Fudge's permission, he asked Solim, "Mr. Selwyn, you just said 'riding' to mean that Mr. Potter was riding on a Hippogriff at the time, can I understand that?"

"That's right. "

"So," the committee members turned to Harry again, "was Mr. Potter first exposed to Hippogriffs?"

"Yes. "

"Although the Hippogriff is classified as a three-star creature by the Ministry of Magic, this does not mean that it can be ridden after the first attempt, which is obviously an extremely irresponsible behavior. Mr. Scamander's safety protocol clearly states that you must be in harmony with the Hippogriff for at least a week before attempting to ride, and that it has been tamed. It remains to be seen whether the Hippogriffs you came into contact with at the time had been tamed, but Mr. Potter, your actions have violated the regulations of the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control. Mr. Minister. "

The members of the committee signaled that Fuji's words had been finished.

"So, Mr. Potter, did you act spontaneously, or did you do it because of Rubeus Hagrid's instructions?" Fudge understood, and immediately gave Harry a trick.

Harry, who had never seen the world, immediately got into the trap, and in order to reduce Hagrid's punishment, Harry admitted that he rode on his own initiative without thinking.

"Very well, then Rubeus Hager's negligence can be determined. Fudge motioned for the secretary to record Harry's words.

"What? no!" ...... Mr. Minister," Harry hurriedly tried to plead.

"Silence!" said Fudge, slapping the table, a warning, and now Mr. Selwyn you can continue. "

Harry could only sit down with his fists clenched, and now he replied to Fudge's question, and whatever he said could be pulled to Hagrid. He has already been accused, and next time he will be in the small hall. Thinking of what Hermione had said when she had quarreled with them before, Harry now only wanted to ask for mercy from his men.

"Professor Hagrid, let's pick up where we left off. Solim caught Harry's gaze, "Will you be able to restrain these eleven Hippogriffs on the ground?"

"Absolutely, they're all good boys. Of course...... I mean...... If they weren't provoked. "

"Have those Hippogriffs ever hurt people before? Like you, have you ever been hurt in your dealings with them?"

"Of course not!"

"Then for a moment think that those Hippogriffs are harmless when their dignity is not violated. Solim lifted the remark, "So Professor Hagrid, did you do anything after Mr. Malfoy was injured?"

"Yes. Hagrid nodded hurriedly, relieved to hear that his little treasures were okay for the time being. "I took him to the school hospital. "

"So you didn't care about the eleven on the ground and the eagle-headed horse with winged beasts that were still in the sky, and you didn't evacuate the students who were still on the scene?"

"Uh...... Yes, I was so nervous. "

Solim nodded, and turned to Fudge, who was sitting in the main seat, "Mr. Minister, I think Hagrid was indeed negligent in his duties, and he mishandled it afterwards, but fortunately there was no second accident. But it also shows that the Hippogriffs did not attack others without violating their dignity, otherwise the students present at the time would have likely repeat Mr. Malfoy's mistake. So I think Professor Hagrid was negligent in his duties, but there was nothing wrong with the Hippogriff. "

"Good. Fudge nodded, "Then let's move on to the next part: the hearing debate." Any dissenting presenter may raise an objection. "

Normally, there would be a big war of words at this hearing, but today's hearing was surprisingly quiet in this session. Draco already knew what to do, and Hagrid thought that his little ones would be fine, so he was relieved, his biggest fear was that Buckbeak would be killed, and the other Hagrid didn't really care.

"Hagrid is innocent! he's not wrong!" Ron, who was in the crowd, perhaps misunderstood the meaning of "presenter", perhaps misunderstood the meaning of "hearing and debate", but in short, he suddenly shouted in this quiet place.

"Silence!" Fudge found that it was the red-haired boy who disturbed the order, the last time he interrupted his speech, this time it was unreasonably disrupting the order of the hearing, "First warning! Now it is still the hearing and debate, and only the presenter has the right to speak." "

Seeing that neither Hagrid nor Malfoy spoke. Fudge once again asked the opinions of both parties, and seeing that neither side had any intention of continuing, Fudge said directly: "In view of the fact that there is no objection from both sides of the presenter, the next 'audit and evidence' link will be skipped directly and enter the final ruling stage." "

Then Fudge bit his ears with the people around him, and the people in the small hall looked at them nervously, especially Hagrid.

It's also funny to say that Harry and Ron obviously didn't know anything about this so-called hearing. Because they don't know even the most basic process and part of the hearing, if they really want to defend Hagrid, they won't behave like this at the hearing and the evidence at the hearing.

Weasley may have a little bit of understanding. But it was clear that he had made a mistake and spoke when he shouldn't.

After a while, Fudge sat down again and read according to the manuscript that the secretary had just written: "After consultation with the moderator: Cornelius Fudge, the Law Enforcement Division, and the Dangerous Creatures Disposal Committee, the Hogwarts Magical Creatures Protection Professor: Rubeus Hagrid, and the victim: Draco Malfoy One Hundred Galleons, and the Magical Creatures Enforcement Division and the Magical Creatures Management and Control Division under the Ministry of Magic have been put on record, which cannot be revoked for three years." "

"And ......," said Fudge, pulling out a piece of parchment from the table in front of him, picking it up and signaling to everyone, "...... I have received a letter from the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Board of Trustees before the hearing begins, and I am now announcing Hogwarts' disposition of Rubeus Hagrid on my behalf. "

"Rubeus Hagrid's reputation at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was affected by a teaching error that resulted in the injury of a student, and was punished as follows: a two-month suspension, return to work or dismissal, depending on the situation, and a one-year deduction from salary. I hope that the majority of Hogwarts staff will take this as a warning. "

"This is now the end of the hearing. "_
