Looking at Hagrid's pitiful expression, Elwyn sighed.
He didn't understand politics, but he knew he had to do something. He couldn't just watch as Buckbeak's head was chopped off. Hagrid would definitely collapse because of this.
"Listen, Hagrid!" Elwyn said, "You can't give up. You need to prepare your defense. Harry, Ron, and Hermione can prove that Buckbeak is innocent. I can help you publicize this in the newspapers."
"Elwyn is right. I've definitely read about an attack by a hippogriff." Hermione said thoughtfully, "In that case, the hippogriff is fine. We can study what's going on."
"That's right. We'll help too." Harry and Ron hurriedly said.
Although everyone said so, the work fell on Elwyn and Hermione in the end.
After persisting for a while, Harry and Ron seemed to have completely forgotten about the matter.
They could not be blamed. First of all, Harry had been too busy recently.
In late November, Ravenclaw's team defeated Hufflepuff's team. This incident made Gryffindor's team energetic again. After all, they still had a chance to play, even if they could not afford to lose again.
He now asked his team to train day and night. Several times, Elwyn saw Harry and the others flying around in the cold December snow.
Fortunately, there were no more traces of Dementors on campus after the last incident. The lesson they learned and Dumbledore's anger seemed to have completely confined them to their posts at the entrance of the school. [Love ↑ Go △ Little ↓ Say △ Net w

In addition to being busy with Quidditch training, Harry also had to learn Guardian from Professor Lupin.
He wanted to cast the complete Guardian as soon as possible to ensure that there would be no more accidents in the next game.
As for Ron, he was becoming more and more abnormal.
He did not communicate with almost everyone and did not go near Elwyn and Hermione. While Harry was training, he wandered around the city alone.
To guard against Mount Crook, he kept Scabby in his shirt pocket wherever he went.
There were several times when they went out of the detection range of the tracking potion and went to places unknown.
Elwyn could not be bothered with Ron and Peter. He and Hermione spent almost all their time in the library and could not care about anything else.
He would let Peter be free for a few days. In another twenty days, during the Christmas holidays, his plan could be implemented. At that time, there would be the least people in the castle. He could lure Sirius Black out and solve the whole thing in one go.
What was more urgent now was to find a way to save Buckbeak. He and Hermione found a lot of information and files in the library and referred to the famous cases recorded in them to prepare Buckbeak's defense. The titles of the files were: "Summary of Magical Animal Cases", "The Psychological Handbook of Winged Beasts with a Hippocampus", "Poultry or Monsters", "Research on the Savagery of Winged Beasts with a Hippocampus" and so on.

"Elwyn, look at this!" Hermione placed a dusty file in front of Elwyn and said softly, "This is the case of a Human-Headed Lion-Body Scorpion in 1926. It killed someone but was acquitted in the end."
"That's because everyone was afraid. No one dared to go near it." Elwyn frowned as he looked at the small, densely packed words on the file.
"Yeah, you're right." Hermione threw the thick file aside in disappointment.
Elwyn picked up the file and continued reading. It was a simple introduction of the Human-Headed Lion-Body Scorpion.
The Human-Headed Lion-Body Scorpion had the head of a human, the torso of a lion, and the tail of a scorpion. It was extremely dangerous and rare. It was famous for the soft hum it made when it devoured its prey.
According to reliable records, the skin of the Human-Headed Lion-Body Scorpion could repel almost all known spells. Anyone who was stung by it would die on the spot.
This terrifying creature was created by wizards and fairies. They were used to guard property or important forbidden areas, and were once popular. But since the implementation of the Prohibition of Animal Breeding Experiments, the number of Human-Headed Lion-Body Scorpion had gradually decreased.
In the last few decades, it had disappeared without a trace.
Elwyn put the file aside. From the words on it, compared to the Human-Headed Lion-Body Scorpion, the Hippogriff Winged Beast was many times less dangerous.
If Buckbeak was half as powerful as the Human-Headed Lion-Body Scorpion, they would not have to sit here and worry.
In the next half month, in addition to helping Hermione perfect her defense, Elwyn also wrote a few defense articles.
He had originally intended to use public opinion to put pressure on Lucius Malfoy and the Committee to Deal with Dangerous Creatures, but things did not go as smoothly as he had initially thought.
The Daily Prophet refused to publish the articles written by Elwyn. They felt that there was no point in reporting on the matter. The whole thing was at best a trivial matter that happened in the Hogwarts, and it was not worth reading.
Although Elwyn finally published the articles in the Hogwarts Magical Newspaper, the effect was limited.
The Daily Prophet's editor-in-chief, Mr. Barnabas Goodfey, was correct. Most readers did not care about the life and death of the Hippogriff Winged Beast, not to mention that the little wizards already knew about the matter.
Compared to that, they were more interested in Blake and the Dementors.
Elwyn was not completely without supporters. Corin, Ginny, and Luna all clearly expressed their support for his views. Luna even persuaded her father to publish the articles written by Elwyn in Dissent, replacing the original article about the Scimitar Snore as the new headline.
But this did not have much effect. The sales of Dissent were not even as high as the Hogwarts Magical Newspaper.
Time passed, and it was getting closer to Christmas, but Elwyn and Hermione did not make much progress.
Although they had written a full ten parchment defense articles, Elwyn doubted that the defense articles would have any effect other than making people sleepy.
Let's not talk about whether or not the Dangerous Creatures Management Committee would accept this defense. Just the fact that Hagrid could memorize all of this was a questionable matter. With his ability, it would be difficult for him to even read the whole thing aloud.
"It's no use, Hermione!" Looking at Hermione sitting opposite him, Elwyn sighed heavily.
Hermione was still struggling with the boring files. She was now often the last to leave the common room at night, and the first to go to the library the next morning. The heavy burden of schoolwork, the invisible pressure exerted by Ron, and the preparation of Buckbeak's defense articles had caused her to have a shadow under her eyes, just like Lupin's.
"What did you say?!" Hermione looked up from the files.
"Our thinking seems to be wrong. No matter the reason, Buckbeak did hurt Draco Malfoy, right?" Elwyn said slowly. "We cannot defend Buckbeak's innocence. As long as Lucius Malfoy insists on this point, Hagrid's chances of winning are slim."
"Then what should we do? Do nothing like Harry and Ron?!" Hermione looked a little annoyed. "Watch Buckbeak be killed and wait for Hagrid to collapse?!"
