Hogwarts God of Ice and Fire

The third-year wizards of Gryffindor House took Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures class on their first morning of school.

On the way to the Care of Magical Creatures lesson, Irina asked Hermione in a low voice: "Hermione, did anything happen in the castle during the week I was away at Christmas?"

Hermione thought for a while and said: "If we talk about the more important things, there are two. One of them is that Harry got a Firebolt as a Christmas gift. But, think about it, Irina, who else Would you give Harry such an expensive gift as a Firebolt?"

Irina, who already knew the answer, pretended to think and said softly: "Could it be Sirius Black?!"

Hermione said: "That's what I guessed. I'm worried that the Firebolt Harry received will contain a curse cast by Sirius Black."

Irina asked: "So, you reported this matter to Professor McGonagall, right?"

Hearing this, Hermione couldn't help but said in surprise: "How do you know? Did Harry and Ron tell you about this?"

Irina said helplessly: "That's my guess. Hermione, although you reported this matter to the professor for their own good, you should also understand the importance of the Firebolt to those boys. I think Harry and Ron I’m afraid I’m still complaining about you now!”

Snitching is often the most annoying thing for students, and students who snitch are always ostracized by others, but Hermione did not report this matter to Professor McGonagall just to gain a sense of presence in front of the professor. Or maybe he wanted to see Harry make a fool of himself.

She just wants her friends' safety to be guaranteed and doesn't want to put her friends in danger.

Regardless of facts or emotions, everything Hermione did was to protect Harry and Ron, her two friends.

Irina didn't want Hermione to be hated by Harry and Ron because of this incident.

"But, what if there is really a curse on that Firebolt? We can't watch Harry almost fall from the sky like the year before, right?"

Hermione argued.

Irina said: "I understand what you did is right, but you also understand that these two guys, Harry and Ron, are like children, always impulsive and irrational. But they are our friends after all, so they are To take care of their feelings, I think you might have to apologize to them."

Hermione fell silent after hearing Irina's words.

As smart as she was, how could she not know that she had ignored Harry and Ron's feelings before? !

However, she still had a touch of pride belonging to a genius in her heart, so she couldn't just give in to Harry and Ron.

Now that Irina was mediating, Hermione finally nodded. She looked at Harry and Ron who were chatting together not far away, and said softly: "I understand, I will tell them later. Sorry."

Seeing that Hermione's mood seemed a little low, Irina changed the topic and said: "By the way, Hermione, Harry receiving the Firebolt is one of the things, but what about the second thing?"

Hearing Irina's question, Hermione's mood did not recover, but became even lower. She only heard her whisper: "Malfoy's father complained about Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures class. Although Hagrid was in Dumbledore, Professor Lido was found not responsible on his own recognizance, but Buckbeak was sent to trial."

Irina scratched her head, her words seemed to have the opposite effect.

Hermione seemed a little excited, and she said: "Buckbeak is just an innocent hippogriff. Malfoy is clearly asking for trouble! However, Buckbeak will be sent away in April." I went to the Committee on the Disposal of Dangerous Animals. During the Christmas vacation, I searched many files related to the law on the disposal of dangerous animals. However, except for the monster that was tried was so powerful that the wizards could not do anything about it, there was not even one other case. The final result of the trial was Magical animals are not guilty." Hearing this, Irina's expression also became serious.

Although in the original book, Buckbeak was secretly let go after the Harry trio used a time turner to go back in time, Buckbeak later became a shady existence and could no longer act as openly as before. Walk in the presence of wizards.

This is what Irina doesn't want to see.

"Perhaps, that is the arrogance of wizards. In the eyes of wizards, the lives of magical animals are so low... The power of the Malfoy family is far beyond what us little wizards and Hagrid can resist. I think, Even if we have enough evidence to prove Buckbeak's innocence, Malfoy's father has a way to bribe the trial officials and declare him guilty!"

Irina said softly.

At this time, the group of people had arrived at the edge of the paddock, and everyone could see Hagrid's figure.

"Why? That's the Ministry of Magic. Shouldn't they enforce the law impartially?! If we have enough evidence, how can Malfoy's father influence the outcome of the trial?!"

Hermione said in disbelief, feeling like her world view was about to collapse.

Whether it was when she first came to the wizarding world or now, Hermione attaches great importance to the so-called rules. Although under the influence of Harry and the others over the years, she no longer regards school rules as edicts as she once did, but for She still trusts the laws of the magical world.

But now, Irina told her that a powerful force could twist the law and influence the decisions of the Ministry of Magic. How could she accept this? !
"During the Hogsmeade week before Christmas, you should have heard the conversation between Fudge and the others, right? Think about it, even Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic, ignored Hogsmeade for his own selfish desires. The life and death of the village residents allows dementors to roam freely where wizards live, let alone those ordinary officials of the Ministry of Magic?"

Irina said so.

Hermione looked up suddenly, and from Irina's words, she extracted a piece of information, that is, Irina was also present at the Three Broomsticks bar that day.

Otherwise, she would never have been able to describe the conversation between Fudge and the others in such detail.

Looking at Hermione's eyes, Irina spread her hands and said: "As you may think, Lynn and I were also in the Three Broomsticks pub that day. We sat at another table, you, Ron and Harry, We can clearly see where Fudge and the others are."

After figuring everything out, Hermione looked dejected.

"If that's the case, wouldn't Buckbeak be doomed?"

Hermione said desperately.

Irina sighed. She also didn't want Buckbeak to be tried. However, how could she, a Muggle-born, resist the power of the Malfoy family? !
Unless the forces from the same Holy 28 pure-blood family take action...

Wait, the Holy 28 pure-blood family, the Rohr family? !

Irina suddenly realized that she had been thinking about the power of herself, Hermione and others, and in a dark situation, she had actually ignored Linn's Rohr family.

You know, both Linn's Rohr family and Irwin's Foley family are one of the 28 holy pure-blood families!
However, Irina was unwilling to force them. After all, neither Lin nor Irwin had the obligation to use their family's power for a hippogriff. (End of chapter)
