The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Lucius was keenly aware of the problem, but was unable to stop it. I could only watch the old wizard make his decision.

After the old wizard made his decision, the members of the Dangerous Animals Committee were slightly disturbed, but they quickly unified their opinions and decided to obey the committee leader's decision.

"Mafalda, do I have any other plans today?" Seeing Hagrid's case developing in a strange direction, Bones was also a little curious, so she found her secretary and asked about today's plans. .

"You don't have any arrangements before lunch." Mafalda had been ordered before and specially arranged a free time for Bones in the morning.

"Then let me go and watch." Bones followed suit and planned to go to Hogwarts with the jury.

Compared to Fudge, Bones went to Hogwarts much more frequently.

As soon as they left, perhaps with the minister watching, everyone in the Ministry of Magic showed amazing efficiency - this is an astonishing unity in the magical and non-magical circles. Is a government that always loses its footing before the head of state really reliable? For example, when the president of a country went to inspect, the military boss suddenly pulled the door handle of the jeep. If this is not a prearranged funny video, it only shows that this country’s military equipment is rotten to the core.

Fortunately, the Ministry of Magic is still reliable. Ten minutes later, members of the Dangerous Animals Committee, Minister Bones, Lucius Malfoy and others were already in Hogwarts.

Buckbeak was also dragged to the paddock at the edge of the Forbidden Forest by Hagi. This is where Hagrid received his first Care of Magical Creatures lesson.

Buckbeak seemed very happy to visit his old place again. He kept raising his hooves and making bursts of cries.

"Okay, Hagrid, we're here, can we start testing?" Lucius couldn't wait any longer.

"Wait a mininute!"

Hearing these words, Lucius's chest expanded suddenly, but when he found out that the person who said this was the Minister of Magic Bones, he suppressed the anger in his heart like a deflated ball. Go down.

Frustrated! This was the only feeling in Lucius's heart. Today, he was like an unlucky guy who knelt countless times in the rankings but couldn't find someone to take the blame. He was full of anger but didn't know where to vent it.

Remember me, Lucius, the majestic pure-blooded patriarch of the Holy Clan, when have I ever been so angry? When the Dark Lord was here... well, life was quite miserable. When I was studying at Hogwarts, I was so high-spirited!

Perhaps the coincidence with Hogwarts made Lucius rekindle memories of the past. Those beautiful memories came to his mind little by little, and then formed a sharp contrast with the tragic reality. This made him feel even worse.

Bones's call for a timeout was not unreasonable, but someone special was coming. Dumbledore came with his good student Newt, Toolman, Dual Phantasm, and Scamander, and with them came a group of young wizards.

"Hello, Professor Dumbledore." Bones took the initiative to greet Dumbledore. Hagrid was combing the hair on Buckbeak's back while trying to calm down his mood. When he heard Dumbledore's name, he turned his head so hard that his neck made a bang.

Dumbledore led a group of "followers" and walked calmly towards everyone in the Ministry of Magic. He was wearing a gray-white robe and had an extremely peaceful expression on his face. The members of the committee had mixed reactions to Dumbledore's arrival. Many people took the initiative to wave and say hello to Dumbledore - there were also people who said hello to Newt, but only one or two people. Some looked a little scared, some even looked a little dissatisfied. But everyone turned their attention to Dumbledore.

He walked up to Bones and stopped.

"Hello." Dumbledore greeted everyone present kindly, and everyone present responded in succession. Say hello to Dumbledore. Everyone chatted together for a long time. Lucius was very anxious on the side, but he could only endure it.

"Lucius." In the end, Dumbledore just shook hands with Lucius Malfoy, then looked at Hagrid and said, "I just heard that you are coming to Hogwarts for an experiment?"

"Yes," Hagrid said with an indelible smile on his face. He returned to the familiar Hogwarts from the unfamiliar Ministry of Magic, as if he was at home in the water, and had a feeling of playing at home.

"Oh? Then you guys start quickly, I'll take a look too." Dumbledore looked curious, as if he was completely unaware of what was about to happen.

What a great acting! Many people slandered in their hearts. How can you, the principal, know nothing about what happened at Hogwarts? Hagrid appears here now. I'm afraid it wasn't you who guided him, right?

This was Dumbledore's misunderstanding. Tom just mentioned it to Dumbledore, and the main thing was settled by Tom himself.

There was no way, who made it necessary for Dumbledore to win this lawsuit? In addition, Miss Granger had ignited sympathy for Hagrid and Buckbeak, so she had no choice and she could not afford the consequences of losing the case.

After losing the case, Dumbledore's skin was exposed, and Hermione had to focus a lot on the appeal. If the appeal failed again, she might have to use a time turner to save Buckbeak. Instead of spending so much effort later, we can solve it directly now and be done with it.

As for the rights and wrongs between Hagrid, Buckbeak, and Malfoy, Tom didn't bother to care. It all depends on one's personal standpoint. Tom's position is on Dumbledore's side, so he will naturally choose to help Hagrid.

"Hurry up and start." With Dumbledore's words as the starting point, Lucius also urged. He now felt that the situation was getting worse, but he still felt that dogs could not change their fecal eating habits. How could that beast change its sexual orientation all of a sudden because of its violent nature?

"Okay," Hagrid looked at Lucius Malfoy, "Lucius, do you dare to volunteer?"

Lucius:?

What?

Lucius looked confused.

"Yes, would you like to be a volunteer for this experiment? Buckbeak is actually not vicious." Hagrid smiled innocently and patted Buckbeak's beak.

Lucius: ...

He glanced at Buckbeak, who very cooperatively took out his paw and wiped it on the ground. The sharp claws immediately left several deep scratches on the ground, turning over the ground like a rake.

Lucius felt goosebumps rising on his skin.

Yesterday I divided a bag of ribs into six bags, each bag contains seven pieces. I hope that the magic number seven can bring luck (such as dying suddenly after staying up late and being reincarnated to receive a Hogwarts admission notice or something)
