Hermione in the crowd looked at Solim with a complicated expression, only a handful of people in the small auditorium knew what was going on.

"Mr. Selwyn." Fudge looked at Solim gravely. "You think Rubeus Hagrid is innocent? May I think so?"

"Mr. Minister, I haven't finished." Bowing to Fudge, Solim continued: "Mr. Malfoy is indeed wrong, this is an indisputable fact, but Hagrid... er, isn't the professor right? Mr. Minister, please allow me to ask Professor Hagrid a few questions."

"allow."

"Professor Hagrid, how many hippogriffs did you bring to your students?"

"Ten...a dozen." There were quite a few hippogriffs in the Forbidden Forest, and he couldn't remember exactly how many Hippogriffs Hagrid had brought with him at that time.

"Twelve of them." Solim reminded, "Except for the one that Mr. Potter was riding at that time, there are eleven more on the ground."

"Mr. Minister, I have a question." A person from the Dangerous Creatures Committee on one side suddenly spoke up. After obtaining Fudge's consent, he asked Solim: "Mr. Selwyn, the 'ride' you just mentioned refers to Potter Sir was riding on a hippogriff, may I understand that?"

"Exactly.

"So," the committee member turned to Harry again, "was it Mr. Potter's first encounter with the Hippogriff ~ the Winged Hippogriff?"

"Yes."

"Although the Hippogriff is listed as a three-star creature by the Ministry of Magic, it does not mean that it can be ridden on the first contact. This is obviously an extremely irresponsible behavior.

The safety procedure set by Mr. Scamander clearly stipulates that one must live in harmony with the Hippogriff for at least a week before attempting to ride it, and the hippogriff must have been tamed. Whether the hippogriffs you came into contact with at the time has been tamed remains to be verified, but Mr. Potter, your behavior has violated the relevant regulations of the Department of Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures-. Mr. Minister. "

The members of the committee signaled that Fuji had finished speaking.

"So, Mr. Potter, is this behavior of yours spontaneous? Or is it because of Rubeus Hagrid's instructions that you did this dangerous behavior?" Fudge understood, and immediately set Harry up.

Harry, who had never seen the world, immediately got into the cover. In order to reduce Hagrid's punishment, Harry admitted without thinking that he took the initiative to ride.

"Very well, then Rubeus Hagrid's dereliction of duty can be confirmed." Fudge motioned to the secretary on the side to record Harry's words.

"What? No! Mr Minister..." Harry hurried to defend himself.

"Silence!" Fudge slapped the table. "First warning! Now, Mr. Selwyn, you can go on."

Harry could only sit down with his fists clenched, and now he's over it. Fudge's question just now could be brought back to Hagrid no matter what he said. I have been warned

Next time he will be expelled from the chapel. Thinking of what Hermione said when they quarreled with them before, Harry now only hoped that Solim would show mercy.

"Professor Hagrid, let's continue with the question just now." Solim sensed Harry's gaze, "Can you completely control the eleven hippogriffs that were on the ground at that time?"

"Sure, they're good boys. Of course...I mean...if they're not provoked."

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

"of course not!"

"Then assume for a moment that those hippogriffs are harmless as long as their dignity is not violated." Solim put the words aside, "So Professor Hagrid, did you do anything after Mr. Malfoy was injured? ?”

"Yes." Hagrid nodded hastily, and was relieved to hear that his little ones were fine for the time being. "I took him to the school hospital."

"Then you didn't take care of the eleven hippogriffs on the ground and the hippogriff that was still in the sky? You didn't evacuate the students who were still at the scene?"

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

Solim nodded, and turned to Fudge, who was sitting on the main seat: "Mr. Minister, I think Hagrid did dereliction of duty, and he mishandled it afterwards. Fortunately, there was no second accident. But this also shows that those Hippogriffs It is true that they would not attack others at will if their dignity has not been violated, otherwise the students present at that time would likely repeat the mistakes of Mr. Malfoy. So I think Professor Hagrid has dereliction of duty, but Hippogriff is not at fault .

"Very good." Fudge nodded, "Then let's go to the next link: the hearing and debate. Any declarant who has an objection can raise an objection."

In the usual hearings, there will be a lot of verbal wars at this stage, but today's hearing was surprisingly quiet at this stage. Draco already knew what to do, and Hagrid thought that his little babies would be fine, so he was relieved. What he was most worried about was that Buckbeak would be killed, and neither did Hagrid. Matters a lot.

……asking for flowers)……

"Hagrid is innocent! He is not wrong!" Ronald in the crowd may have misunderstood the meaning of "presenter" or the meaning of "hearing debate". In short, he suddenly shouted in this quiet place.

"Silence!" Fudge found that it was the red-haired boy who disturbed the order again. He interrupted his speech last time, and this time he disturbed the order of the hearing for no reason. "The first warning! It is still the hearing and debate , only the declarant 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: "Since the declarant and the two sides have no objections, the next link of 'auditing evidence' will be skipped directly, and we will enter the stage of final ruling."

..........0

Then Fudge was biting ears with the people around him, and the people in the small auditorium watched them nervously, especially Hagrid.

It's funny to say that Harry and Ronald obviously didn't know anything about this so-called hearing. Because they don't even know the most basic hearing procedures and links, if they really want to defend Hagrid, they will not behave like this in hearing defense and witnessing evidence.

Weasley probably knew a little bit. But obviously he got the part wrong and spoke when he shouldn't have.

After a while, Fudge sat down again, and began to read according to the script just written by the secretary: "After the discussion of the host: Cornelius Fudge, the Legal Enforcement Department, and the Committee for Disposing of Dangerous Creatures, the Hogwarts Professor of the Protection of Magical Creatures is sentenced to: Rubeus Hagrid, compensation to the victim: Draco Malfoy 100 Galleons, and keep records in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and the Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures under the Ministry of Magic, which cannot be revoked within three years."

"And..." Fudge said here, he took out a piece of parchment from the table in front of him, picked it up and signaled to everyone: "...and before the hearing started, I have already received The Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Board of Directors' letter, and now I am announcing Hogwarts' disposal of Rubeus Hagrid on my behalf."

"Rubeus Hagrid injured a student due to a teaching error, which affected the reputation of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft and Wizardry. The treatment is as follows: Suspended for two months, returned to work or dismissed depending on the subsequent situation, and deducted one year of salary. Hope Hogwarts Watts faculty and staff take warning."

"Now the host announces: the hearing is over six.".
