"Think about it, Hermione, the Hazardous Organisms Committee's job is to deal with incidents of dangerous creatures injuring people, and to enforce penalties against them. Evan continued, "We can't prove that Buckbeak is innocent, it did attack Malfoy, and even if it had a valid reason, we can prove that Hippogriffs aren't dangerous. ”

"What do you mean," Hermione pondered.

"According to the dangerous creature classification in the book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Hippogriffs are very dangerous, they can be tamed by wizards, and this docile animal is not under the purview of the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures. Evan opened the book to the author's introduction, "And we can solve this matter from the perspective of protecting rare species, and Mr. Scamander may be able to help us a little." ”

"Mr. Scamander?!"

Hermione took the "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" handed over by Aven, and frowned at the author introduction above:

The author of the book, Mr. Newts Cummande, is currently the most prestigious magical biologist in the wizarding world, he graduated from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1915, and has served as a clerk in the Office for the Resettlement of House-Elves in the Ministry of Magic, a researcher in the Bureau of Fire Dragon Research and Restrictions, the head of the Werewolf Registration Office, and the director of the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control.

Mr. Newt Scalmander has spent 30 years traveling around the world on five continents, documenting the forms and habits of 75 magical creatures known to the wizarding world, and collecting information for his world-selling work, Where Are the Fantastic Beasts, which is now in its fifty-second edition.

Under his leadership, the Ministry of Magic established the Werewolf Registration Office in 1947 and amended the Prohibition of Feeding for Experimental Purposes Act in 1965, which effectively curbed the creation of new untamable animals in Britain.

In 1979, Mr. Newt Scamman was awarded the title of Second Class Sorcerer of the Order of Merlin for his contributions to the study of magical beasts and the study of magical animals.

"As the former Director of the Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures, Mr. Scamander has a very strong influence on the Committee for the Disposal of Hazardous Organisms, definitely much more than Lucius Malfoy. "And he's the president of the Magical Creature Conservation Society, so all we need to do is write a letter to tell him about Buckbeak's situation, and I'm sure he'll help us." ”

Evan had a very feasible idea, and he and Hermione sent a letter to Mr. Newt Scalmande that evening, and received a reply at breakfast the next day.

"Aven, look at what's written on this. Hermione enthused, "Mr. Scamander wrote back to the letter, very supportive of our idea, and that he was willing to save Buckbeak, saying that his mother was a breeder of Hippogriffs and that he had frequent contact with these animals as a child. ”

Evan took the letter and saw Newt Scalmander writing on it that the number of Hippogriffs had declined dramatically in the last hundred years due to excessive killing, and he had been concerned about it. Therefore, he agreed to revise and improve Evan's article on the protection of Hippogriffs, and signed it. In addition to this, he will also come forward to contact the Committee on the Disposal of Hazardous Organisms and ask them to handle the case as carefully as possible.

Then, things started to look on the bright side.

Thanks to Mr. Newts Cummande, the Daily Prophet published an article written by Evan and Hermione about and protecting the Hippogriff.

It contains a detailed account of the habits of the Hippogriff, its current living conditions, and the understanding of this animal, as well as a complete account of Buckbeak's attack on Malfoy.

In the days that followed, many readers wrote to them and Hagrid expressing their willingness to support them. They even launched a "Save Buckbeak" campaign to officially petition the Ministry of Magic for a pardon for the incident, and many people participated.

Public opinion continues to ferment, putting a lot of pressure on the Ministry of Magic.

The School Board and the Hazardous Biological Committee wrote three letters to Hagrid in which they said out of an abundance of caution that the incident of Buckbeak's assault on students would be re-investigated before the hearing.

As things stand, there is a good chance that Buckbeak will be found not guilty.

With so many people's attention, Lucius Malfoy just wants to make trouble, and he has to be worried.

Hagrid gradually recovered, appearing more and more in the castle, and enjoying himself every day.

Evan and Hermione's mood was also much lighter, and the tension between them and Ron eased thanks to Harry's continued efforts.

At the very least, Ron can sit with them again now, instead of wandering around the castle alone with Spotted, as he did some time ago.

Two weeks before the end of the semester, the sky suddenly cleared up and showed a dazzling opaly, and the muddy field was covered with a shiny frost one morning.

As Christmas approaches, the festive atmosphere inside the castle grows stronger.

Charms teacher, Professor Flitwick, has decorated his classroom with shimmering light sources that are actually real fairies with flapping wings.

The students were happily discussing their vacation plans, and most of them were preparing to go home for Christmas thanks to Sirius Black.

In fact, with the exception of Avan, Harry, Ron, and Hermione, almost all of the other Gryffindor students were ready to go home.

Evan was ready to carry out his plan, Ron said he couldn't stand two weeks with Percy, and Hermione insisted that she go to the library.

Although all three had their own reasons, Harry was so touched by this that he thought that the three of them must have stayed at Hogwarts for Christmas to be with him.

In the last week of the semester, students from the third grade and above can go to Hogsmeade Village again.

Everyone was happy, and the whole breakfast table was full of discussions about buying Christmas gifts.

"Ron, where is Harry, why hasn't he come to breakfast yet?" asked Hermione, a little strangely.

"He's still in the dorm, you know, he can't go to Hogsmeade. Ron said to himself, his voice a little dull, "He borrowed a copy of Sorting Broomsticks from Wood, and seemed to be ready to spend all his time on it." ”

"It's so pathetic!" Avan remembered the disappointed look he had seen Harry in the common room last night before going to bed, and said uncertainly, "Maybe I can take Harry through the secret passage to Hogwarts, the secret passage I've been through many times in the last year, and it shouldn't be a problem." ”

"This won't work, Aven!" Hermione said resolutely, spreading jam on her bread, "This year is different from last year, there are so many Dementors at the entrance, and besides, what if Sirius Black knew about the secret passage." ”

"But"

"Don't worry, Ron and I will be buying you Christmas presents, what flavor do you like with those candies I brought you last time?" Hermione said with a grin, "My dad and mom are very fond of the hairy mints they bought from Duke Honey!"

"If you can, you can bring me some oranges"

Before Evan could finish his sentence, he saw Harry hurrying into the Great Hall with his school bag, ignoring Malfoy, who was playing the funny role of him falling off his broomstick at the door, and walked straight towards them, looking happy.

"Guys, look at this, Fred and George just gave me"

Harry carefully pulled out a large, square, very old piece of parchment from under his cloak, on which nothing was written.

"Harry, what is this?" asked Hermione, curiously.

Before Harry could speak, he heard Ron whisper, "Live the map!"

I don't know if it's an illusion, but his dull and monotonous voice seems to be full of surprise.
