The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 359 Extradition
Normally, extradition is a matter that falls under the joint jurisdiction of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and the Department of International Magical Cooperation. This time, the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures will be added to the extradition of the Hippogriff, and this matter has nothing to do with the Minister.

Unless the other party requested the extradition of a major suspect, such as Grindelwald. When Grindelwald was extradited, it was personally handled by the Chairman of the Magical Congress of the United States of America.

However, he actually came to discuss the extradition of the Hippogriff with the Minister of Magic. How idle do you think this position of Minister is?

It was unclear what other ministers were like, but Cornelius Fudge had been quite idle recently. He didn't have to capture Sirius Black anymore, and Dumbledore had tied up Peter Pettigrew and sent him over. Fudge's food was ready, so he didn't have to worry about it.

The unjust, false and wrongful convictions twelve years ago did not bring much impact to the Ministry of Magic, and it also established Fudge's image of fairness and integrity.

With fame and fortune in one hand and his rival firmly pinned down with the other, the Minister has been very happy lately. He was so happy that he had time in his busy schedule to watch the execution of the Hippogriff.

"Henry, right?" Fudge flicked the papers in his hand and said, "We can discuss this matter with the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures when we return to London. It's just a Hippogriff."

Buckbeak, Fudge is going to kill it, and Merlin can't stop it either, the Minister said so!
"Thank you very much, Mr. Minister." Henry said with a formal smile on his face, "My colleagues are now in the Ministry of Magic in London. They told us to negotiate directly with you."

Henry pointed to Buckbeak eating a snow sculpture in the pumpkin patch and continued, "Because the beast that hurt people is tied there. I heard from my compatriots that it will be executed soon."

"That's great. You can stay and witness its execution." Fudge said with a smile, "If it's not enough, you can take its body back with you."

After all, it was just a hippogriff. Fudge didn't know why the French side was so obsessed with this matter. The French side was behind the trials of several hippogriff wounding cases. What was their purpose? What was the significance?

"Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Minister." Henry was still praising Fudge, "But the matter is a bit complicated. This beast hurt the heir of a great man, so this great man hopes to witness the execution process with his own eyes."

To stop Fudge from talking, Henry added: "But this great person cannot come to England, and you don't want her to appear in England."

The first trial, the judgment, the appeal, and the upholding of the original verdict have actually shown that in the British Isles, the outsider Rosier cannot defeat the local Malfoy, and a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.

So why did this happen today? Henry Rosier even came here in person? Was it to prove that Rosier was better than Malfoy? Or was it because he was unwilling to accept the result?
Neither, there was no conflict of interest, nor any family dispute, it was simply because they were unhappy with the Malfoy family. Vida and Ada would not force Rosier to do such a thing, but this time it was Vincent Rosier who took the lead.

We are both young masters, and both are from pure-blood families, so what's wrong with Rosier? Draco is precious, but Rosier is worthless? Under the guidance of someone with ulterior motives, Master Vincent sounded the clarion call for attack, and thus Fudge got the extradition document from the French Ministry of Magic.

If there was no extradition document, Ida would have let Hagrid secretly release Buckbeak, and then he would just shirk responsibility and deny it. Dumbledore might not do his best to rescue magical creatures, but he would not ignore Hagrid in jail.

"Of course, I also know that this beast has hurt the son of the Malfoy family, but the judgment has been concluded now," Henry continued, "but our judgment has not even begun, so please be gracious and don't make things difficult for us who are doing the work."

The meaning is very clear. Your British Ministry of Magic has given an explanation to Malfoy, but my French Ministry of Magic has not yet given an explanation! Don't laugh at your second brother, at the critical moment, help your brother!
"Who did this beast hurt?" Fudge had already noticed Ada with bandages on her body. This unique shape was too conspicuous.

"The Minister happens to know this person. It's her, Esmeralda Drizzt." Henry pointed to Ada in the crowd behind him, and Ada cooperated by covering her left arm with a painful expression, as if she was about to die.

This exaggerated expression that makes the veteran actor want to curse, it is obvious that he learned from Draco Malfoy.

Dumbledore watched the show at ease. The headmaster thought that today's show was designed by Ada, but in fact Ada only knew about it a few days ago. Hagrid was confused the whole time. When did Ada come? How could she be hurt by Buckbeak? This doesn't make sense! The minister understood more and more. Fudge initially thought that Rosier and Malfoy were against each other because of some conflict of interest, but now it seems that it is not the case at all.

At first it might have been just to vent one's anger, but now it has turned into an attempt to save face.

If you want to be a good Minister of Magic, you have to have good relations with pure-blood families, which is one of the reasons why Malfoy was able to manipulate the trial of the case. There is no Rosier surname in the UK anymore, so Fudge has no psychological burden to help Malfoy with all his strength.

Now that they have come across the sea and want to regain their lost face, do I really want to continue to offend them? Fudge made a decision in his heart.

As for Ada, the minister couldn't bear to watch it anymore. Her acting was really eye-catching. After removing the bandages and plaster, there must be no wound on her left arm.

Kids nowadays, not only can’t they act well, they also refuse to endure hardships. They go to St. Mungo’s just for a scratched finger, how lame.

"You can take this beast away. You can go to the Ministry of Magic to handle all the documents. I'm tired." Fudge waved his hand and was about to turn around and leave.

Dumbledore left with the Minister, saying, "Cornelly, I recently got a bottle of mead, which tastes very good. We will have a few drinks later..."

"Minister! Minister!" McNeill shouted, hoping that Fudge would change his mind. I came here to kill, whether it's a hippogriff or something else, you have to let me cut something!

Hearing McNeill's shout, Fudge suddenly stopped, but before McNeill could be overjoyed, he found out that he was just being sentimental and Fudge didn't care about him.

Fudge certainly didn't stop for McNeill. The Minister asked Henry, "Young man, what is your name...?"

"Rosier, Mr. Minister." Henry's smile was impeccable. "Henry Rosier."

The minister nodded and left here accompanied by Dumbledore, perhaps he really went to have a drink, or perhaps he left Hogwarts directly.

Outside the hut, Hagrid was still confused, but he knew Buckbeak wouldn't have to die today. McNeill was very angry, and he kept staring at Buckbeak's neck.

"Mr. Executioner, you have nothing to do here." Ida stepped forward and said, "If you must chop something, you can chop the pumpkins in the field. Professor Hagrid is a very generous man, he won't ask you for compensation!"

Hagrid nodded blankly and agreed, "Yeah, you can chop anything as long as you don't touch Buckbeak!"

The executioner McNeill raised his butcher knife in anger and chopped it down hard. A very large pumpkin was split into two pieces in one go, and the juice from the pumpkin splashed all over McNeill.

Henry's companions walked around McNeill, who was covered in juice, and led Buckbeak away from the pumpkin field. Although it was not necessary to actually capture the Hippogriff, the necessary procedures still had to be followed.

As for what happened next, we will talk about it later. Maybe during the extradition process, Buckbeak escaped when the guards were not paying attention? Maybe after the French trial, he was executed?

In the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts, there is one more or one less hippogriff. What does this have to do with the French Ministry of Magic!
