What was supposed to come has come.

In the small auditorium, there were quite a few people who were supposed to come. Fudge took the chair, and the people from the Hazardous Creatures Committee and the Law Enforcement Department took their seats in turn. The scale of this hearing was small, and the charges were not serious. Except for Minister Fudge, no heavyweight officials were present at all.

There is Hagrid here at Hogwarts, and there are many students who come to watch the fun. After all, they have finished their exams. Seeing the excitement, many students crowded into the small auditorium. If it weren't for the small auditorium, the place is really not big. , it is estimated that about a hundred people can be crammed in.

There is no other member of the Wizengamot here except Fudge, not to mention he is the Minister of Magic, and he is the host of today's hearing. The people sent by the Hazardous Creatures Disposal Committee and the Legal Enforcement Department on one side mainly provide consultation on legal provisions and provide some cases to Fudge.

In addition, Hogwarts also has professor representatives, and this job undoubtedly falls on Professor McGonagall. Fudge, the student representative, chose Solim and Harry. In fact, Solim was not very interested in this so-called student representative at first. It was just a formality. He didn't want to waste time sitting there and being a monkey. look. But later, after Draco's repeated requests, he reluctantly agreed.

Everything was ready, Fudge cleared his throat

"The hearing held on April 20th at Hogwarts mainly focused on questioning Rubeus Hagrid's dereliction of duty and how to deal with dangerous creatures that violated the law based on the results of the inquiry."

As Fudge said, the minister's secretary next to him took a quill and quickly wrote something on the parchment.

"Now I declare: the hearing has officially begun. It is now routine to announce the following precautions: No one is allowed to speak without permission, and no one is allowed to interrupt or disrupt order in any form. Warning for the first time, expulsion for the second time. The following is the speaker of this case: Draco Malfoy."

A group of students surrounding the small auditorium all looked at the door, and Draco walked in casually.

"Draco Malfoy arrives"

"Presenter you are ready to begin."Fudge nodded to Draco.

Draco bowed, and then told the process and results of the entire incident in an unhurried tone. Many students have heard of this incident, and Draco has not Adding insult to injury, just telling the truth.

"Very well, speaker, you can step aside for now. Fudge smiled kindly at Draco and said,"Next, bring another presenter: Rubeus Hagrid.""

Hagrid was very nervous and even walked in smoothly. He was still wearing his dirty coat, and his beard and hair were untied and messy as usual.

"Begin the statement.

"Fudge looked at Hagrid and frowned.

This was the first time he saw such a dishonest person at a hearing.

Although Fudge knew more or less what Hagrid was like, he was a case that the Minister of Magic was involved in.

, as the subject of the inquiry did not take care of his appearance at all, Fudge was a little unhappy.

Hagrid licked his lips nervously, and made some statements that were inconsistent with the beginning and the end.

Anyone could see that Hagrid was already nervous It was to the extreme.

Hermione in the crowd couldn't bear to see Ron, who was not far away, clenching his fists and staring hatefully at Malfoy standing in the field.

Fudge finally became impatient and interrupted the mess. statement

"The presentation session is over, and each representative will speak in turn. Fudge looked at Professor McGonagall,"Then let Professor McGonagall start first.""

Professor McGonagall stood up, glanced at the crumbling Hagrid, and sighed inwardly.

"As a colleague of Professor Haig, I know him very well.

He definitely did not cause such a teaching accident intentionally or deliberately.

I think all the professors and students present can come to the same judgment on this point.

What happened to Mr.

Malfoy is just an example, and it does not completely negate Professor Hagrid's qualifications.

Moreover, the school has taken complete precautions against accident-prone courses in teaching.

Hogwarts will never have such teaching again in the future.

Accidents happen.

I beg for him to be given a lighter punishment"

"Thank you, Professor McGonagall."Hagrid's eyes turned red and he was about to wipe them with his shiny black sleeves.

"quiet! Fudge hammered the table,"Rubber Hagrid, you are not allowed to speak. This is the first warning." If there is a second time, I think you know the result."

Hagrid immediately lowered his head. The students listening on the side were silent for a moment. It was the first time for them to attend the hearing in person. It was the first time for most of them to see such a serious occasion.

"The following student representatives spoke. Fudge pointed at Harry,"Let's start with Mr. Potter.""

"Okay... uh, sir."Harry was very nervous. He was at a loss when he learned that he was selected as a student representative. He didn't know how to use this status to help Hagrid. Only then did Harry really regret it. If they had really I have to search for information with all my heart, maybe it will come in handy now.

But now I have no choice but to bite the bullet. According to what I discussed with Ron before, I just need to put all the blame on Malfoy. If It's all Malfoy's fault, so Hagrid is naturally innocent.

"I think Professor Hagrid is innocent."As soon as these words came out, it seemed as if ten thousand flies had entered the small auditorium.

"quiet! quiet!"Fuji slapped the table several times angrily.

"your reasons"

"Professor Hagrid has told us before about the precautions for contact with hippogriffs.

It was Malfoy who provoked Buckbeak...

the hippogriff.

This was what caused Malfoy to be injured.

If he had not provoked, this would not have happened.

"Harry gradually relaxed and spoke more and more confidently,"So I think Professor Hagrid is innocent.

If you don't believe it, Mr.

Minister, there were many students present at the time, and they can all testify that it was Malfoy who provoked him first.

A hippogriff.

"

After hearing this, Fudge turned to the person from the Dangerous Creatures Committee and motioned for him to speak.

"Hippogriffs do show aggression when provoked."The official of the Dangerous Creatures Disposal Committee said, and then:"But what I don't understand is that Rubeus Hagrid didn't take any measures to stop the beast at that time?

Then he nodded to Fudge:"Mr. Minister, I'm done.""

"Rubeus Hagrid...and Mr. Potter, do you have anything to say in defense of this? asked Fudge

"I...I wasn't with Malfoy at the time……"Hagrid's two big hands tangled together

"Professor Hagrid was observing other students at the time, and by the time he discovered something was wrong, it was already too late. Harry added.

Fudge nodded expressionlessly, then looked at Solim,"I understand, then another student representative will speak next." Mr. Selwyn, you may begin."

Solim stood up. He just wants to end it as soon as possible. There are still many things waiting for him.

"It was indeed Mr. Malfoy's fault for provoking him first, and there was nothing good to say about it."Solim's words made most of the people present look at him in surprise. The two student representatives, one from Gryffindor and the other from Slytherin, everyone can guess the meaning.
