The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

v3 Chapter 92: Can you help him?

Hagrid took a small grinder, poured some coffee beans into it, and turned the tap on the lid. In this way, the fine black coffee powder is ground out little by little. After pouring the freshly ground coffee powder into the cup, Hagrid poured the boiled water in again, and in an instant a strong coffee aroma filled the room.

"The beans I roasted myself may be a little undercooked, but they are very refreshing." Hagrid pushed two cups of coffee towards Tom and Hermione, sat across the table by himself, and then made himself a cup of coffee.

Tom took a sip of the coffee in the cup and felt that it tasted good, not as sour as expected.

"Why do you want to come to my place?" Hagrid blew off the foam from his cup, and took a long gulp of coffee.

"I saw Buckbeak lying in the pumpkin patch, so I came over to see."

"Ha!" Hagrid became interested when Buckbeak was mentioned, "It's a beautiful creature, isn't it? It's just... a pity..."

Hermione's eyes fell on the stack of books behind him. "How are you doing? Buckbeak's case?"

Hagrid showed a tired look, "Fortunately, I just saw a case where the Hippogriff who hurt people was acquitted, so there is still a chance of winning."

Looking at the thick stack of books, Tom knew why Hagrid prepared so much coffee. With Dumbledore's guarantee, Hagrid will not bear any responsibility, but Buckbeak is likely to be executed. This was unacceptable to Hagrid.

The subtle thing is that Hagrid could let Buckbeak go quietly, but he didn't dare. Because it would bring even more trouble—people in the Ministry of Magic were not fools, Buckbeak escaped at a critical juncture, Hagrid could not escape responsibility, and even Dumbledore would be involved, which was also unacceptable to Hagrid.

He could only bury his head in his studies, trying to find a chance for Buckbeak from the vast files. But it is too difficult! The attitude of the wizarding world towards magical animals is already very subtle. To use a word commonly used in the Muggle world, it is "wizard supremacy". When wizards and magical animals clash, the Ministry of Magic prefers to punish the magical animals.

The three people present knew this, so they all knew that Hagrid's chances of winning the lawsuit were extremely low.

The three people present stopped talking and just drank the coffee in their hands silently.

"Hagrid, we won't bother you, the coffee is very good." After drinking the coffee in her cup, Hermione put the coffee cup back on the table.

"Can we go and see Buckbeak again?" she made a request.

"Of course, the animals hanging on the fence are its food, you can feed them whatever you want." Hagrid was naturally happy that someone could spend more time with Buckbeak.

After thanking Hagrid, Hermione took Tom out of Hagrid's cabin and returned to Buckbeak. And Hagrid also picked up a book from the bed and read it seriously. Thick tomes are like miniature comic books in his hands.

Hermione took Tom back to the pumpkin patch. Tom stood in front of a nearby fence and untied several small animals from it, including rabbits and ferrets, most of which were products of the Forbidden Forest.

After bowing to each other again, the two sat down beside Buckbeak again. Buckbeak stretched his neck to reach the food in Tom's hand, and Tom threw them one by one into Buckbeak's mouth.

Looking at Buckbeak, which was so delicious and sweet, Hermione took a deep breath and looked at Tom: "Is there any way to help him, Tom, I don't want to watch him die."

After Hermione spent a few moments with Hagrid, something soft in her heart was touched, and she now wished to save Buckbeak.

Tom fell into a brief silence.

During this moment of silence, he was thinking: what kind of person is he?

He seems to be very gentle and polite to everyone, but when facing the things around him, he seems to have an astonishing indifference. He hardly paid attention to things that had nothing to do with Hermione. Just like Peggy before, he faintly noticed that something was wrong with the girl, but he didn't take any countermeasures - to put it bluntly, he still didn't care.

indifferent. It seems to be the best adjective for him, as if nothing can take his heart. Voldemort, Horcruxes, little girls with unhealthy mental health... As long as it has nothing to do with Hermione, he will not take it to heart.

To be honest, he was even thinking that if he and Hermione weren't targeted by Voldemort, then maybe he wouldn't be right with him!

Including Buckbeak this time, it seems that he has no intention of taking the initiative to solve it.

Think about it carefully, isn't this "not taking the initiative, not refusing, not being responsible"? If you don’t take the initiative to find a job, you won’t refuse it in the end, and you won’t be responsible for what happens.

hiss! Thinking of this, Tom took a breath of air. He began to recall whether he had done anything on his own initiative? I don't know if it counts as taking a class for a year instead of Lockhart?

"Tom?" Perhaps Tom was in a daze for too long, Hermione tentatively called his name again, "I always thought you might have some idea..."

Tom laughed at himself, "It's nothing, I was just lamenting that I seem to be like a spinning top, I push and move, and I don't move if I don't push."

"Then I push you?" Hermione laughed.

"I really convinced you—how did you know that I would have a way?"

"You always have a way, don't you?"

Tom put a gray rabbit to Buckbeak's mouth, "What do you think should be done?"

"I can only use stupid methods to help Hagrid read documents and write manuscripts—but I always feel that you have a simpler and more direct way to deal with it." Hermione's eyes had a hint of expectation.

"I do have an idea." Tom blinked.

"Just let it go."

Hermione:? !

She looked so incredulous that it was hard for her to believe that Tom had come up with such a terrible idea. UU Reading www. uukanshu.com

"You should know what this will bring to Hagrid and Professor Dumbledore!"

Tom waved his hand. What did he think it was to release a hippogriff? The favorability between Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic will collapse sooner or later, it is better to overdraw now. Of course, there are still good solutions.

"You mean to let it go under the witness of the Ministry of Magic?" Hermione was startled by this pioneering idea, "The risk is too high! Is there a safer way?"

The easiest way to save Buckbeak is really to release him after the Ministry of Magic inspects the goods. But there's a lot of uncertainty about that - like the executioner glanced out the window while they were transporting Buckbeak or Dumbledore's failed bid to buy time, etc.
