Putting my research on hold, I looked into helping the hearing that was stacked against Harry. It reminded me of the case we built for Buckbeak. Hopefully we will be able to help Harry as much as we did for Buckbeak. The research I did was enough to convince the Wizengamot that the entire process was a sham and allowed Buckbeak to be free. But not without repercussions. Buckbeak was unable to remain in Hogwarts. What that hearing truly showed was that Lucius Malfoy was threatening the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures. Lucius has not been doing any threatening since. He lost a lot of clout and was kicked off several boards that he was a part of. Buckbeak became invaluable when we had to save Sirius. If only Sirius would allow me to help him be free from the Ministry. The offer has been given many times, but he continues to deny. His response? It makes him more alluring, but it helped keep the heat off of Dumbledore and Harry.
