Retirement from Hogwarts

The victory in the Quidditch match and the completely expected Quidditch final trophy brought by the Ravenclaw team's overwhelming advantage with the White Knight in this game made the entire Ravenclaw house excited for a whole week. In the atmosphere of joy.It seems even the weather has come to celebrate their Quidditch Cup victory this year: as May approaches, the days become unseasonably cool and cloudless, and everyone just wants to go for a walk outside with pints of ice-cold pumpkin. Then lie down suddenly on the grass, maybe play a game of stone throwing or watch the giant squid dreamily move forward on the lake.

But most people may not be able to enjoy such exceptionally beautiful weather.Because the exams were approaching, the students not only could not pass the time lazily outdoors, but also had to stay in the castle and endure the temptation of the summer breeze blowing from the windows.And forcing your brain to work hard, fighting against the vast amount of homework left behind by teachers who want to hand over as much knowledge as possible to them as if the end of the world is coming.

In the entire school, even Fred and George, who had already planned to become the CEO of Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes Shop, were also studying. They were about to participate in 0. w． LS exam (although this thing is of no use to them at all, but they still want their mother to be happy).

And Hermione has also tasted the consequences of enrolling in almost all courses. She is probably the only one in the entire school who is more prepared than those who are about to graduate and go around job fairs. E. w． Ts seniors are even busier.Not only did she have to review and deal with assignments in almost all subjects, she also had to help Hagrid prepare the defense and complaint for Buckbeak's second trial.Even Jack, who often teased her, didn't dare to provoke her recently.

Just as Hermione was dragging Jack to prepare a complaint for Buckbeak in an empty classroom specially equipped with soundproofing spells next to the library, Hagrid, who hurriedly came from his cabin, notified them. Tragic news - those people will come to the school to hear the appeal, and it will be the Minister of Magic Fudge, a Deputy Director of the Department for the Regulation of Magical Creatures and - an executioner.

Hermione, who was looking up information with her head lowered, raised her head and asked in disbelief: "Hagrid and the others brought executioners to hear the appeal? It sounds like they have already decided the outcome of the verdict?!"

"Obviously, in order to avenge their son, who was recently humiliated by Harry, some people didn't even want to lose face, so they directly took the upper-level route and mobilized the big shots who were preparing to break through through the Haitian Feast. The result of the review." Jack was not as surprised as Hermione. He often went to mutual aid clubs and had heard too much about such dirty things among nobles.

"How could they do this?" Hermione complained to Jack angrily. "It's just a grand feast between the sea and the sky. Do they deserve to lose even the most basic face?"

"There is actually no essential difference in conducting a review there. No matter how well prepared we are, we can't win." Jack shrugged and said. "Those big shots have already made up their minds for the Dangerous Creatures Committee. You can tell if you pay close attention to Malfoy. He has been much more active recently than after he was wiped out by Harry when he pretended to be a dementor. And he is also He has been preaching everywhere that Buckbeak is dead, and hinting to everyone that all this is actually the result of his efforts. I want to use this to promote that the Malfoy family is still strong and his family's influence is still at its peak."

"Then what do you do

Didn't you tell me earlier? Hermione asked, glaring at him with dissatisfaction after hearing his words.

"Ahem, I think we should discuss plan B first." Jack coughed awkwardly after hearing Hermione's question, and then decisively changed the subject.If Hermione were to continue asking questions, I'm afraid she would definitely be blamed for delaying her review.

"Plan B?" Hermione suddenly heard this term that she had never heard before and raised her voice in surprise.It was obvious that someone like Jack, who had never cared about Buckbeak, would secretly come up with a plan B, which really surprised her.

"Sure, Plan B," Jack said with a shrug. "After all, the success rate of Plan A for winning the case in review is really low. So I prepared another Plan B to deal with losing the case."

"Then what should we do?" Hagrid, who was crying with blurred eyes after completely losing hope, held Jack with both hands and shook him fiercely, as if grasping a life-saving straw.

"I don't know." Jack, who was shaken by Hagrid so much that strange white gas began to spit out from his mouth, said intermittently like a cassette recorder.

"I'm sorry, Jack. I'm so excited." Hagrid, who finally found out what he had done, wiped away his tears and scratched the top of his head and said sheepishly.

"It's okay~~~ Please let me slow down first." Jack, who was shaking so much that the acid water was about to come out, said while holding on to the table after being put down.

"Jack, are you okay?" Hermione looked worriedly at Jack, who had been silent for a long time and asked.

"You can't die yet. Where did we just talk?" Jack seemed to have finally regained his composure, and asked Hermione in a weak voice.

"You just started talking about your plan B." Hermione glared at Hagrid dissatisfiedly and said softly to Jack.

"Oh, yes, Plan B." Jack said as if he suddenly realized something after reflecting for a while. "To implement this plan, there must be someone in the school who is important enough to go to the execution ground to sit in for us that day. Dumbledore or Snape can do this."

"This..." Hagrid hesitated with an embarrassed look on his face after hearing Jack's request, but when he saw Hermione's unkind eyes, he nodded decisively. "I'll figure it out."

"That's good. I will arrange for some idiots from the animal protection organization to cause trouble that day, and criticize their execution methods later. Their permission will also be handed over to you." Jack arranged for Hagrid again without politeness. New tasks. "At that time, in accordance with the Ministry of Magic's standard methods for the imprisonment and execution of magical animals, they will first check the situation of the Hippogriff, and then they will sign the relevant transfer agreement with Hagrid in your hut. formalities."

"At this time, you must cry as hard as possible. According to standard procedures, the Ministry of Magic will bring a formal transfer agreement and a backup transfer agreement. After they hand over the agreement to you, you must read it while using it. Your tears ruined both agreements. Then ask them to handwrite a new agreement on the spot using ordinary paper that does not have the effect of a magical contract. Because of your academic qualifications, they would never have thought that you would do it on purpose. And this will at least help We got 8 minutes."
