Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

99. Chapter 99 The Marauder's Map

    “Think about it, Hermione, the duty of the Dangerous Biology Committee is to deal with dangerous biological wounding and to impose penalties on it.”Ivan continued, "We can't prove that Buckbeak is innocent. It does attack Malfoy. Even if it has a valid reason, we can prove that hippogriff is not dangerous."

    "what do you mean......"Hermione is lost in thought.

    “According to the classification of dangerous organisms in the book “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”, hippogriff is very low-risk, they can be tamed by the wizard, and this docile animal is not in the management of the Dangerous Biology Committee.”Ivan turned the book over and flipped it to the author's introduction page. "And, we can solve this problem from the perspective of protecting rare species, Mr. Scamander may give us some help. ”

    mr Scamander? ! ”

    Hermione took Ivan's "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" and frowned at the author's introduction:

    The author of the book, Mr Newt Scamander, is the most prestigious magical creature scientist at the current circle. He graduated from the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1915. He served as the clerk of the Ministry of Magic house elf resettlement office and the Dragon Research and Restriction Agency. Researcher, director of the werewolf registration office, director of the management and control department of the magical creature.

    Mr Newt Scamander has spent 30 years traveling around the world on five continents, recording the shape and habits of the 75 magical creatures known to the current magic circle, for his world-famous work Magical Beasts and Where to Find Them Collecting information, the book has been revised and printed on the 52nd edition.

    Under his leadership, the Ministry of Magic established the Werewolf Registration Office in 1947; in 1965, it amended the Decree for Feeding for Experimental Purposes, which effectively curbed the prevalence of creating new, untamed animals in Britain. .

    In 1979, Mr. Newt Skaman was awarded the title of Order of Merlin's second-level magician in 1979. In his later years, he established the Magical Nature Species Protection Association to work on magical creatures. .

    "As the former Director of the Magical Pig Management and Control Division, Mr. Scamander's influence on the disposal of the Dangerous Biology Committee is very large and definitely much larger than Lucius Malfoy. ”Ivan explained, "And he is the president of the magical creature protection association. We just need to write a letter to tell him about Buckbeak's situation. I believe he will help us."

    Ivan's idea was very viable. He and Hermione sent a letter to Mr Newt Scamander that night and received a reply when they had breakfast the next day.

    "Ivan, look at what you wrote on it."Hermione said excitedly, "Mr. Scamander said in a reply that she is very supportive of our idea. He is willing to save Buckbeak. He said that his mother used to be a breeder of hippogriff. He often contacted these animals when he was a child. ”

    Ivan picked up the letter and saw Newt Scamander write on it: Hippogriff has been drastically reduced in the past 100 years due to excessive killing, and he has been worried about it. Therefore, he promised to modify and perfect the protected hippogriff article written by Ivan. In addition, he will also contact the Disposal of the Dangerous Biology Committee to allow them to handle this case as carefully as possible.

    Next, things started to develop on the positive side.

    Due to the relationship between Mr Newt Scamander, "Daily Prophet" successfully published an article by Ivan and Hermione about the introduction and protection of hippogriff.

    The hippogriff habits, current living conditions, and people's knowledge of the animals are detailed above, and Buckbeak's attack on Malfoy's is fully described.

    In the following days, many readers wrote to Hagrid and expressed their willingness to support them. Everyone even launched a “Save Buckbeak” campaign, and officially petitioned the Ministry of Magic for the Ministry of Magic, asking the Ministry of Magic to pardon Buckbeak, and many people participated.

    The continued fermentation of public opinion has put a lot of pressure on the Ministry of Magic.

    The school board and the Dangerous Biology Committee wrote three letters to Hagrid. They said that they were cautious and would investigate the incident of Buckbeak attacks on students before the hearing.

    Judging from the current situation, Buckbeak is very guilty of being acquitted.

    With so many people's attention, Lucius Malfoy just wants to swear, but also have concerns.

    Hagrid gradually recovered, he appeared more and more in the castle, and he was happy every day.

    Ivan and Hermione's mood was also a lot easier, and with Harry's continued efforts, their tension with Ron eased.

    At the very least, Ron can now re-sit with them, instead of strolling around the castle with Scabbers as they did before.

    Two weeks before the end of the semester, the sky suddenly cleared, showing a dazzling egg white, and the muddy ground was covered with a layer of shiny frost one morning.

    As Christmas approaches, the festive atmosphere in the castle is getting stronger.

    Charms teacher Professor Flitwick has decorated his classroom with a shimmering light source that is actually a true little winged fairy.

    The students are happily discussing the vacation plan, and most of the students are ready to go home for Christmas due to Sirius Black.

    In fact, except for Ivan, Harry, Ron, and Hermione, other Gryffindor students are almost ready to go home.

    Ivan is ready to implement his plan, and Ron says he can't stand the two-week stay with Percy, and Hermione insists she is going to the library.

    Although the three had their own reasons, it made Harry very moved. He thought that the three of them stayed at Hogwarts for Christmas and must be with him.

    In the last week of the semester, students in the third grade or higher can go to Hogsmeade Village once again.

    Everyone was very happy, and the whole breakfast table was about discussing Christmas gifts.

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

    "He is still in the bedroom, you know, he can't go to Hogsmeade."Ron said from his own voice that the voice was a bit dull. "He borrowed a "classified broomstick" from Wood and seemed to be ready to spend his time."

    "This is really pitiful!"Ivan remembered seeing Harry's disappointing expression in the common room before going to bed last night, not sure, "Maybe I can take Harry through the secret passage to Hogward, the secret passage, I have been through last year. Many times, there should be no problem."

    "This is not good, Ivan!"Hermione put a jam on her bread and said firmly, "This year's situation is different from last year. There are so many dementors at the entrance, and if Sirius Black knows the secret passage."

    But

    "Don't worry, Ron and I will buy you Christmas gifts, the sweets that I brought you last time, which flavor do you like?"Hermione said with a smile, "My father and mother really like the mink candy bought from Honeydukes!"

    "If you can, give me some orange..."

    Ivan's words haven't finished yet, and I saw Harry rushing into the auditorium with his bag, and he ignored Malfoy, who was falling from the broomstick at the door, and walked straight toward them, looking very happy.

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

    Harry carefully pulled out a large, square, old parchment from under the cloak with nothing written on it.

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

    Harry hadn't had time to talk, and he heard Ron whisper, "The Marauder's Map !"

    I don't know if it is an illusion. His dull and monotonous voice seems to be full of surprises.
