[hp] Rescue Mr Diggory
Chapter 40 37.
Buckbeak's appeal is scheduled for the sixth, the day all exams end, and the bad news is that the Ministry of Magic has decided to bring the executioner to the school to hear the appeal, which sounds like it's already done verdict.
When Ron heard the news, he immediately roared, "No! I spent so much time looking for information on it, they can't just do it!"
But it's useless to be angry now. In fact, the Ministry of Magic has indeed made a judgment. This meaningless appeal is just trying to sell Dumbledore's face, but even Dumbledore has no right to dominate the committee.
Although he told them that Buckbeak was not in danger, it didn't work, because Lucius Malfoy had threatened those people long ago, and besides, the appointed executioner McNeill was an old friend of Malfoy's , the situation looked far worse than expected.
In the blink of an eye, it was the morning of the day of the appeal. Harry and the others had just finished the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam. Called by Lupine to help register everyone's scores.
After the exam, Camelia and Harry walked back to the castle together. During the period, Ron still wanted to make fun of Hermione's Boggart, because Hermione's Boggart was Professor McGonagall.
When the Boggart-turned-Professor McGonagall told Hermione that she had failed all her exams, it caused her to lose control.
But the situation at the top of the steps made Hermione and Ron forget their argument for a while.
Cornelius Fudge stood there, in a brown cloak, sweat dripping from his brow.He was startled to see the four of them approaching, but it was Harry who first noticed him.
"Hi, Harry!" said Fudge. "Just finished your exams? The term is almost over, isn't it?"
Harry nodded obediently, and Camelia greeted the incumbent Minister of Magic politely. The other party shook hands with her, and then chatted warmly with her about home affairs, and also greeted Shafiq Mr. Shafik, like Lucius Malfoy, seemed to be an old acquaintance of the Minister, but that didn't help much with Buckbeak, as the Minister clearly supported Malfoy.
Hermione and Ron hadn't spoken to the Minister of Magic and could only stand awkwardly behind.
"The weather is fine today," Fudge said, casting his eyes on the lake. "It's a pity..."
He sighed deeply, looking down at Harry and Camelia.
"I'm here on an unpleasant mission. The Dangerous Creatures Committee has asked for a witness to be present at the execution of a deranged hippogriff, and I've just arrived at Hogwarts to check on how the arrest of Black is going. , was temporarily pulled over.”
"So the appeal is over?" Ron stepped forward and asked.
"Not yet, the appeal is this afternoon." Fudge said, looking at Ron in surprise.
"Then you probably don't need to witness the execution at all!" said Ron firmly. "The hippogriff will be set free!"
Before Fudge could answer, two wizards came out from the castle gate behind him, one seemed to be shrinking with age, the other was tall and burly with a sparse beard.They're supposed to be representatives of the Hazardous Creatures Committee, because the old wizard squinted at Hagrid's cabin and said in a trembling voice, "Oh, I'm too old for this job, and I shouldn't have been sent here." .It's two o'clock, isn't it, Fudge?"
The burly man was fumbling with something in his belt, and Camelia glanced and saw that he was stroking a shiny ax with his thick thumb.Ron opened his mouth to speak, but Hermione tugged him into the hall.So Harry and Camelia had to say goodbye to Fudge in a hurry, and also went into the hall.
"Why are you stopping me?" Ron asked angrily. "Didn't you see them? Even the axes are ready! It's not fair!"
"Ron, your dad is in the Ministry of Magic, you can't talk to his superiors like that!" Hermione also looked upset, "As long as Hagrid keeps calm this time and makes a good case, they won't be able to execute Buckbeak... ..."
But Harry and Camelia could see that Hermione didn't really believe her own words, and Ron was still very angry that Hermione stopped him from speaking, so he simply ignored her and walked quickly into the auditorium. It's time for lunch.
"It's really impossible, don't we have a backup plan? When I appeal in the afternoon, Aurora and I will sneak over to see it first, and you don't want to think about anything now, just concentrate on the last exam." Camelia Talk to Harry and Hermione before going to Cedric at the Hufflepuff table.
During the meal, everyone was chatting enthusiastically, especially the lower grade students were happily looking forward to the end of the exam in the afternoon, while the graduates were discussing the graduation ceremony held for them in the past few days, and some people began to plan the last carnival at school .
Camelia was thinking about Hagrid and Buckbeak, so she didn't join in the conversation of anyone around her, but she was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't hear what Cedric was telling her about Hufflepuff tonight There is a party to be held in the college, which is spontaneously organized by the students of their college for the graduates of the college.
The people of Hufflepuff like to hold parties very much. If there is nothing important, there will be a party almost every three days. Being close to the kitchen is an excellent condition. They always want to let anyone who can hold a party Chance.
After Cedric found that Camelia was still unresponsive when he talked about it for the second time, he stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, which brought back her wandering thoughts.
"Why are you so preoccupied? Are you worried that you won't pass the exam?"
Camelia shook her head, she was just temporarily undecided whether to tell Cedric Buckbeak about it, she didn't want him to be sad because of Buckbeak's verdict.
"I actually went to ask Professor Binns for you. Although most of you didn't have time to do it, what you did was right, and it was more than enough to pass the exam." Cedric leaned his head close to her The face said, "Sorry, I should have controlled myself the night before, especially knowing that you have an exam the next day... But I don't know why I always lose my mind so easily when I face you."
The exhaled warm breath evenly slapped the ears and cheeks one by one, which caused the body temperature to rise rapidly, and Camelia's face had turned as red as the cherries used for decoration on the top of the cake.
"I think you are actually not my Miss Felix, but my Miss Love Potion, right?" Cedric's lips moved slowly inch by inch against her cheek.
Camelia's ears were red, and she murmured softly, "Don't give me such weird nicknames anymore, or they will laugh at me again..."
Seeing that she was shy, Cedric smiled triumphantly and buried his head into her neck and rubbed it intimately, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I won't let them know about this, This is a little secret between the two of us."
"I remember you were not like this before, why have you become more and more unruly recently?" Camelia gently pushed Cedric's head with her hand, "Get up, this is a public place."
When she said this, she was a little emboldened, because she was so ashamed by Cedric at this time. Although she had had closer contact with Cedric than this, when she thought that it was in public, how could she? Girls are still thin-skinned, sorry to be so blatant under the noses of others, but it doesn't matter if they are so intimate in private.
"Why are you still shy? Anyway, everyone knows that you are my girlfriend."
It seemed that Cedric didn't care about this at all. Instead, she kissed her face more aggressively, as if she was declaring sovereignty to those who were watching their every move.
After Cedric kissed, he asked, "So are you coming to the party tonight?"
"Not so good, I'm a Ravenclaw and always go to your lounge." Camelia said hesitantly.
"It's okay, I'm here. And I have a few friends who are about to graduate who haven't met you yet. I think it's best to let you all know each other." Cedric said, "They need to know Who is the future Mrs. Diggory, so that we don't have to waste time on it when we have a wedding."
Camelia looked down and said, "Well, I think I'll go."
"Then we can meet in the hall in the evening, okay?" Cedric said happily.
Buckbeak's final verdict was delivered in the afternoon, and he was to be beheaded at sunset, and not even Dumbledore could stop it.
When Fudge announced the result in public, Camelia and Aurora were hiding in a tall and dense bush near Hagrid's hut. Not only could they hear clearly, but they could also see Hagrid through the window of the hut. Holding a huge handkerchief and wiping the corners of their wet eyes from time to time, the two representatives of the Committee for Disposal of Dangerous Creatures, on the contrary, looked as happy as if they had just learned that they were the winners of the Galleon Prize.
Dumbledore told Fudge and the two representatives that it was still early, so why not follow him around the castle, and pointed them in the same direction, saying that there was a blueberry field left by the former headmaster.
"Great, I like blueberries." Fudge readily agreed, and decided to go and have a look.
The minister had said this, and the other two naturally agreed to go and find out.
Before Dumbledore took them away, he glanced at the bushes where Camelia and Aurora were hiding, as if he had already guessed what they were going to do.
Hagrid said uncomfortably to the two girls who came out of the bushes, "Now you have to tell Piccolo to go right away."
Camelia shook her head, "No, it's not the time yet, we have to wait until sunset, it's better to escape when it's dark."
Aurora was as anxious as Hagrid, "But it's going to be executed at sunset."
"That's right, we're going to let Buckbeak escape right under their noses, or they'll come back and find him missing, and they'll think Hagrid let him go on purpose." Camelia said, "If Mal The Foos know that Hagrid let Buckbeak go, and I think they'll try to send him to Azkaban, and maybe they'll try to get Dumbledore into trouble too."
Hagrid beat his chest hard, and said angrily, "No, I'd rather go into Azkaban alone than involve Dumbledore!"
Aurora glanced worriedly at Buckbeak, who was sitting obediently by the fence at this time, and then looked in the direction of Fudge and the others, "But can Buckbeak escape smoothly? I mean right before their eyes." Underneath, they are all adult wizards with good magical abilities."
Camelia stared at Buckbeak and said, "Yes, don't forget that the Hippogriff was originally a very ferocious animal, and I believe Dumbledore is also secretly helping us."
By the time Harry and the others finished the last exam and came hurriedly wearing an invisibility cloak, it was already close to sunset, and Fudge and the execution group were about to return.
There was a knock at the front door of the cabin, and Hagrid let them slip out the back door and hide in a small wood behind.
When they hid, they heard McNeil's cold voice, "Where is that beast?"
"Just outside... outside," said Hagrid, choked up.
Then McNeill's face appeared in the window, looking at Buckbeak, when Fudge said: "We'll have to read you the official execution notice again, Hagrid. I'll read it a little faster this time, and then You and McNeil can sign here. McNeill, you have to listen too, this is a necessary procedure."
And so McNeil's face disappeared from the window again, apparently to have gone to hear Fudge read the execution.
Camelia gave Aurora a look, and a few melodious and crisp bird songs came out of her mouth. This was the signal they had agreed with Buckbeak in advance. Once he heard the call, he would stop Then it flew into the sky with the rope, and it became a free Hippogriff ever since.
These days they have been communicating and discussing with Buckbeak, because he has a deep affection for Hagrid, so at first he was extremely reluctant when he heard that he was going to leave here forever. Fortunately, after repeated persuasion, he finally Realizing that if he insists on staying, he will face great danger, and it will also bring trouble to his favorite Hagrid.
The troublesome thing now is that after sending out the signal, Buckbeak didn't immediately stand up and struggle to break free from the rope as agreed in advance, but it didn't respond at all, it first stood up slowly, but with scales A's knees immediately knelt down again, those ferocious orange eyes looked at the cabin with deep nostalgia, and it seemed that it wanted to take another good look at Hagrid.
At the same time Fudge's voice came from the cabin, "The Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures has ruled that Buckbeak the Hippogriff, hereinafter called the Sin Beast, shall be executed at sunset on June 6, and the Sin Beast is sentenced to be beheaded." , by Commission-appointed Executioner Walton McNeill..."
Everyone's hearts were raised, and Aurora learned a few bird songs in a hurry, but Buckbeak was still unmoved.Harry and Ron were so anxious to rush up and grab it away, but Hermione and Camelia stopped it.
Fudge had finished reading, "Witness: Hagrid, you sign here..."
"Well, that's all for now," said the shrill voice of the old commissioner from Hagrid's room. "Hagrid, you might be better off staying indoors."
Everyone heard Hagrid's sobbing, "No, I want to be with it...I don't want it to be alone."
Footsteps started to be heard in the room when Dumbledore said, "Wait a minute, McNeill, you have to sign too. And I think I'd better sign this, but my name is a bit long, so I hope you I don't mind waiting a little longer."
"Of course not," said Fudge briskly.
Then the footsteps in the house stopped, and Buckbeak suddenly stood up, fluttering his wings irritably, and everyone was surprised to find that his rope broke at some point.
"Maybe we misunderstood it, it was just breaking the rope, not being stupid," Ron said softly.
As soon as the words fell, Hagrid's back door slammed open, and the people in the woods almost subconsciously shrunk their bodies back, making themselves more hidden in the darkness, so as not to be discovered by those people.
When the aged commissioner saw that Buckbeak was suspended in mid-air, he immediately shouted in a shrill voice, "The beast is going to run away!"
The executioner rushed out angrily holding the axe, but Buckbeak swooped down and knocked him and the axe together to the ground, then waved his huge wings and quickly flew into the blue sky, disappearing into the clouds.
The rest of the people in the room rushed out after hearing the movement outside.Fudge saw the executioner lying on the ground and howling in pain, his face turned ugly for a while, and the committee member with a high-pitched voice seemed to be terrified by the shocking scene just now. Buckbeak did not let go of the position he was standing on.
But Camelia noticed that although the commissioner looked too old and unable to move, in fact, he drew out his wand extremely fast, and before Buckbeak knocked down the executioner, his lips were on the It moved, and even the hair of the wand could be seen to glow slightly.
But for some reason, he was suddenly stunned for a moment, as if he had lost all his memory, and he didn't know what he was going to do. He just watched Buckbeak knock down someone and escape without doing anything.
Maybe he's just too old.
"What a strange thing, as far as I know it has never taken the initiative to attack people." Dumbledore said, there was a hint of mirth in his voice.
"Pick!" Hagrid yelled hoarsely, looking at the yellowing sky.
The executioner who had stood up again threw the ax into the fence in a fit of anger. With the muffled sound of the ax falling, there was also the roar of the extremely angry executioner.
"Pick, you clever boy!" Hagrid said with tears all over his face.
"Someone must have untied the rope!" growled the executioner. "Search this place, and the woods!"
"McNeil, we all saw that Buckbeak broke free from the rope and escaped without anyone helping him. Which thief do you think would go to such lengths to lure him to escape?" Dumbledore said, sounding still There was a hint of joy, "If you want to search, you have to search the sky. But compared to this, Hagrid, I would like a cup of tea at this time. A cup of brandy would be even better."
"Of course, Professor!" Hagrid's voice seemed to be shaking with joy, "Come in!"
"But the sky is so big, where do we find it?" Fudge muttered before entering the house, while the executioner beside him cursed softly, followed by footsteps and the sound of closing the door, everything fell silent again.
Camelia looked at the sun that was about to set and said to the others: "Go back, everything is settled."
Ron's eyes widened, looking in disbelief. "This is the end? What if they insist on finding it?"
"Never will," said Hermione, "because Buckbeak isn't the only hippogriff in the world."
"But I think it was the only Hippogriff that escaped." Ron had already understood what Hermione meant, and his voice was relaxed and happy at this moment.
Harry whispered, "Thank you."
"You're welcome, everyone is for Buckbeak," said Camelia. "Well, I think we should walk around the woods and go back to the castle now, so that we won't be discovered by them."
"You go back first, I still have something to say to Hagrid." Harry said, "Don't worry about us too much, we have an invisibility cloak that they can't find."
Harry said he wasn't leaving, but Hermione and Ron decided to stay with him.In fact, Camelia wanted to say something to Hagrid, but she suddenly remembered what she had promised Cedric at noon, but she was not at ease with the three of them, so she nagged a few words, and then she and the same Aurora, who promised her sister to have dinner with her, went back first.
When the sun had not completely set, Camelia and Aurora had already walked to the stone steps of the castle. At this time, Theodore Knott was standing on the stone steps talking to his friend, and the Lytlin's boy was lounging on a post.
"Camelia, this is Blaise." Theodore introduced each other to the two, "Brace, this is Camelia."
Theodore seemed to be in a good mood, but his friend seemed quite impatient, looking up and down at Camelia with a critical and uncomfortable look, but to Aurora he Don't even want to look at it.
Camelia stretched out her hand and said friendlyly, "Hi, I'm Camelia Shafik."
Blaise glanced disdainfully through his narrow, slightly slanted brown eyes, his hands still in his pockets.
"Brace Zabini." He said arrogantly, "So you are the famous Miss Shafik, nice to meet you."
Camelia had no choice but to withdraw her hand, "Don't dare to be, she is not as famous as your mother, Mrs. Zabini."
Blaise's mother, Madame Zabini, was a beautiful, famous witch who had been a widow many times, and each husband left Blaise and his mother in their wills when they died (almost suspiciously) Lots of Galleons.
Because of this, Mrs. Zabini's reputation is not very good, but she is still very popular despite being controversial, and there are still a lot of wizards willing to bow down under her pomegranate skirt.
Regarding the pornographic news about his mother, Blaise himself would make jokes from time to time, and he seemed to not care at all, but in fact, if someone dared to mention it in front of him, he would become annoyed and immediately turn his face away. .
This is the case now. When Camelia said this, his face immediately became gloomy. In addition, Blaise was born with dark skin, so his face can be said to be extremely dark now.
Aurora was so scared that she began to say a few good words for Camelia, but Camelia was not afraid of him, so she asked Aurora to leave it alone, and Blaise's attitude towards Aurora was not good.Because it was Blaise who was rude to people first, Camelia felt that she was just dealing with others in her own way.
Theodore laughed hard, covered his stomach and said to the black-faced Blaise: "I told you, don't provoke her, she is very powerful."
Blaise snorted coldly, ignored Theodore and turned around and walked into the door.
Theodore didn't go after his friend, and after laughing for a while, he said to Camelia and Aurora: "It seems that the matter has been resolved."
"I don't know what you're talking about, we just got back from a walk," Camelia said.
But Theodore didn't believe this kind of rhetoric, he seemed to know something, "I bet Draco will be very angry."
Camelia said without changing her face: "I don't understand what this has to do with Draco, I just went out for a walk with Aurora."
A cunning light flashed in Theodore's eyes, "Do you want to take a walk from noon to evening? But I think one afternoon is enough to save a Hippogriff that has been sentenced to death. "
His words did not use a very positive tone. It seemed that he used them to test their conjectures. If Camelia and the others refused to admit it and insisted that they were taking a walk, in fact, he would not do anything. , but the bad thing is that Aurora panicked.
"How do you know... Please don't tell him, okay? Just because Daphne is my sister? Aren't you good friends?" She begged Theodore.
Compared to Blaise, Theodore was very polite to Aurora, "But Draco is also my good friend. Aurora, don't mention Daphne to me, it's useless. I'm sorry, Daphne and I are not The kind of relationship you want, I don't like her."
I don't know what he was thinking, but when he mentioned that he didn't like Daphne, his eyes kept looking at Camelia.
So Camelia said to him: "Theodore, can you not tell Draco for my sake, okay?"
"Well, it depends on my mood." Theodore curled his lips and said reluctantly.
When Camelia went to find Cedric, he looked a little surprised and asked, "Professor Snape let you back so soon?"
Camelia was confused by Cedric, wondering when did Professor Snape call her?
Seeing her confused face, Cedric also felt strange, "Didn't you tell me in the kitchen this afternoon that you were going to help the professor later? You also said that you might not go to the party with me today, called If I can't wait for you, don't wait."
"How is it possible! I was obviously there all afternoon... Why did you say you saw me in the kitchen? You must have made a mistake."
Cedric scratched Camelia's nose and said softly: "No, you are confused. My baby didn't rest last night, okay?"
Seeing that Cedric didn't look like he was joking with her, Camelia wondered for a while whether it was her problem.
"Could it be that I went to the kitchen before I went to find Aurora? No, I obviously went there as soon as I finished eating... and I don't usually run there alone, but how could a person appear in the same time?" Two places? When did Snape call me..."
While muttering, Camelia suddenly remembered something that she almost forgot, so she hurriedly asked Cedric, "Is it going to be full moon today?"
"Yes, the night of the full moon." Cedric didn't know why Camelia looked a little flustered now, but he didn't feel relieved, "Since you're done with your work, should we go to some party or not? Do you want to go to watch the moon with me tonight?"
Camelia sighed and said, "Honey, I'm sorry that I can't accompany you again. Now I have to find Professor Snape. I was so busy that I forgot about it."
The author has something to say:
I thought I would take the exam this week, but I didn't expect it to be changed to next week, so I took another chapter. Now that I have written it all, let's send it out first without waiting for May [-]st.Then I found that two chapters can't finish the plot of this grade. I hope I can write the plot of Goblet of Fire during the May Day holiday.

When Ron heard the news, he immediately roared, "No! I spent so much time looking for information on it, they can't just do it!"

"That's right, we're going to let Buckbeak escape right under their noses, or they'll come back and find him missing, and they'll think Hagrid let him go on purpose." Camelia said, "If Mal The Foos know that Hagrid let Buckbeak go, and I think they'll try to send him to Azkaban, and maybe they'll try to get Dumbledore into trouble too."
Hagrid beat his chest hard, and said angrily, "No, I'd rather go into Azkaban alone than involve Dumbledore!"
Aurora glanced worriedly at Buckbeak, who was sitting obediently by the fence at this time, and then looked in the direction of Fudge and the others, "But can Buckbeak escape smoothly? I mean right before their eyes." Underneath, they are all adult wizards with good magical abilities."
Camelia stared at Buckbeak and said, "Yes, don't forget that the Hippogriff was originally a very ferocious animal, and I believe Dumbledore is also secretly helping us."
By the time Harry and the others finished the last exam and came hurriedly wearing an invisibility cloak, it was already close to sunset, and Fudge and the execution group were about to return.
There was a knock at the front door of the cabin, and Hagrid let them slip out the back door and hide in a small wood behind.
When they hid, they heard McNeil's cold voice, "Where is that beast?"
"Just outside... outside," said Hagrid, choked up.
Then McNeill's face appeared in the window, looking at Buckbeak, when Fudge said: "We'll have to read you the official execution notice again, Hagrid. I'll read it a little faster this time, and then You and McNeil can sign here. McNeill, you have to listen too, this is a necessary procedure."
And so McNeil's face disappeared from the window again, apparently to have gone to hear Fudge read the execution.
Camelia gave Aurora a look, and a few melodious and crisp bird songs came out of her mouth. This was the signal they had agreed with Buckbeak in advance. Once he heard the call, he would stop Then it flew into the sky with the rope, and it became a free Hippogriff ever since.
These days they have been communicating and discussing with Buckbeak, because he has a deep affection for Hagrid, so at first he was extremely reluctant when he heard that he was going to leave here forever. Fortunately, after repeated persuasion, he finally Realizing that if he insists on staying, he will face great danger, and it will also bring trouble to his favorite Hagrid.
The troublesome thing now is that after sending out the signal, Buckbeak didn't immediately stand up and struggle to break free from the rope as agreed in advance, but it didn't respond at all, it first stood up slowly, but with scales A's knees immediately knelt down again, those ferocious orange eyes looked at the cabin with deep nostalgia, and it seemed that it wanted to take another good look at Hagrid.
At the same time Fudge's voice came from the cabin, "The Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures has ruled that Buckbeak the Hippogriff, hereinafter called the Sin Beast, shall be executed at sunset on June 6, and the Sin Beast is sentenced to be beheaded." , by Commission-appointed Executioner Walton McNeill..."
Everyone's hearts were raised, and Aurora learned a few bird songs in a hurry, but Buckbeak was still unmoved.Harry and Ron were so anxious to rush up and grab it away, but Hermione and Camelia stopped it.
Fudge had finished reading, "Witness: Hagrid, you sign here..."
"Well, that's all for now," said the shrill voice of the old commissioner from Hagrid's room. "Hagrid, you might be better off staying indoors."
Everyone heard Hagrid's sobbing, "No, I want to be with it...I don't want it to be alone."
Footsteps started to be heard in the room when Dumbledore said, "Wait a minute, McNeill, you have to sign too. And I think I'd better sign this, but my name is a bit long, so I hope you I don't mind waiting a little longer."
"Of course not," said Fudge briskly.
Then the footsteps in the house stopped, and Buckbeak suddenly stood up, fluttering his wings irritably, and everyone was surprised to find that his rope broke at some point.
"Maybe we misunderstood it, it was just breaking the rope, not being stupid," Ron said softly.
As soon as the words fell, Hagrid's back door slammed open, and the people in the woods almost subconsciously shrunk their bodies back, making themselves more hidden in the darkness, so as not to be discovered by those people.
When the aged commissioner saw that Buckbeak was suspended in mid-air, he immediately shouted in a shrill voice, "The beast is going to run away!"
The executioner rushed out angrily holding the axe, but Buckbeak swooped down and knocked him and the axe together to the ground, then waved his huge wings and quickly flew into the blue sky, disappearing into the clouds.
The rest of the people in the room rushed out after hearing the movement outside.Fudge saw the executioner lying on the ground and howling in pain, his face turned ugly for a while, and the committee member with a high-pitched voice seemed to be terrified by the shocking scene just now. Buckbeak did not let go of the position he was standing on.
But Camelia noticed that although the commissioner looked too old and unable to move, in fact, he drew out his wand extremely fast, and before Buckbeak knocked down the executioner, his lips were on the It moved, and even the hair of the wand could be seen to glow slightly.
But for some reason, he was suddenly stunned for a moment, as if he had lost all his memory, and he didn't know what he was going to do. He just watched Buckbeak knock down someone and escape without doing anything.
Maybe he's just too old.
"What a strange thing, as far as I know it has never taken the initiative to attack people." Dumbledore said, there was a hint of mirth in his voice.
"Pick!" Hagrid yelled hoarsely, looking at the yellowing sky.
The executioner who had stood up again threw the ax into the fence in a fit of anger. With the muffled sound of the ax falling, there was also the roar of the extremely angry executioner.
"Pick, you clever boy!" Hagrid said with tears all over his face.
"Someone must have untied the rope!" growled the executioner. "Search this place, and the woods!"
"McNeil, we all saw that Buckbeak broke free from the rope and escaped without anyone helping him. Which thief do you think would go to such lengths to lure him to escape?" Dumbledore said, sounding still There was a hint of joy, "If you want to search, you have to search the sky. But compared to this, Hagrid, I would like a cup of tea at this time. A cup of brandy would be even better."
"Of course, Professor!" Hagrid's voice seemed to be shaking with joy, "Come in!"
"But the sky is so big, where do we find it?" Fudge muttered before entering the house, while the executioner beside him cursed softly, followed by footsteps and the sound of closing the door, everything fell silent again.
Camelia looked at the sun that was about to set and said to the others: "Go back, everything is settled."
Ron's eyes widened, looking in disbelief. "This is the end? What if they insist on finding it?"
"Never will," said Hermione, "because Buckbeak isn't the only hippogriff in the world."
"But I think it was the only Hippogriff that escaped." Ron had already understood what Hermione meant, and his voice was relaxed and happy at this moment.
Harry whispered, "Thank you."
"You're welcome, everyone is for Buckbeak," said Camelia. "Well, I think we should walk around the woods and go back to the castle now, so that we won't be discovered by them."
"You go back first, I still have something to say to Hagrid." Harry said, "Don't worry about us too much, we have an invisibility cloak that they can't find."
Harry said he wasn't leaving, but Hermione and Ron decided to stay with him.In fact, Camelia wanted to say something to Hagrid, but she suddenly remembered what she had promised Cedric at noon, but she was not at ease with the three of them, so she nagged a few words, and then she and the same Aurora, who promised her sister to have dinner with her, went back first.
When the sun had not completely set, Camelia and Aurora had already walked to the stone steps of the castle. At this time, Theodore Knott was standing on the stone steps talking to his friend, and the Lytlin's boy was lounging on a post.
"Camelia, this is Blaise." Theodore introduced each other to the two, "Brace, this is Camelia."
Theodore seemed to be in a good mood, but his friend seemed quite impatient, looking up and down at Camelia with a critical and uncomfortable look, but to Aurora he Don't even want to look at it.
Camelia stretched out her hand and said friendlyly, "Hi, I'm Camelia Shafik."
Blaise glanced disdainfully through his narrow, slightly slanted brown eyes, his hands still in his pockets.
"Brace Zabini." He said arrogantly, "So you are the famous Miss Shafik, nice to meet you."
Camelia had no choice but to withdraw her hand, "Don't dare to be, she is not as famous as your mother, Mrs. Zabini."
Blaise's mother, Madame Zabini, was a beautiful, famous witch who had been a widow many times, and each husband left Blaise and his mother in their wills when they died (almost suspiciously) Lots of Galleons.
Because of this, Mrs. Zabini's reputation is not very good, but she is still very popular despite being controversial, and there are still a lot of wizards willing to bow down under her pomegranate skirt.
Regarding the pornographic news about his mother, Blaise himself would make jokes from time to time, and he seemed to not care at all, but in fact, if someone dared to mention it in front of him, he would become annoyed and immediately turn his face away. .
This is the case now. When Camelia said this, his face immediately became gloomy. In addition, Blaise was born with dark skin, so his face can be said to be extremely dark now.
Aurora was so scared that she began to say a few good words for Camelia, but Camelia was not afraid of him, so she asked Aurora to leave it alone, and Blaise's attitude towards Aurora was not good.Because it was Blaise who was rude to people first, Camelia felt that she was just dealing with others in her own way.
Theodore laughed hard, covered his stomach and said to the black-faced Blaise: "I told you, don't provoke her, she is very powerful."
Blaise snorted coldly, ignored Theodore and turned around and walked into the door.
Theodore didn't go after his friend, and after laughing for a while, he said to Camelia and Aurora: "It seems that the matter has been resolved."
"I don't know what you're talking about, we just got back from a walk," Camelia said.
But Theodore didn't believe this kind of rhetoric, he seemed to know something, "I bet Draco will be very angry."
Camelia said without changing her face: "I don't understand what this has to do with Draco, I just went out for a walk with Aurora."
A cunning light flashed in Theodore's eyes, "Do you want to take a walk from noon to evening? But I think one afternoon is enough to save a Hippogriff that has been sentenced to death. "
His words did not use a very positive tone. It seemed that he used them to test their conjectures. If Camelia and the others refused to admit it and insisted that they were taking a walk, in fact, he would not do anything. , but the bad thing is that Aurora panicked.
"How do you know... Please don't tell him, okay? Just because Daphne is my sister? Aren't you good friends?" She begged Theodore.
Compared to Blaise, Theodore was very polite to Aurora, "But Draco is also my good friend. Aurora, don't mention Daphne to me, it's useless. I'm sorry, Daphne and I are not The kind of relationship you want, I don't like her."
I don't know what he was thinking, but when he mentioned that he didn't like Daphne, his eyes kept looking at Camelia.
So Camelia said to him: "Theodore, can you not tell Draco for my sake, okay?"
"Well, it depends on my mood." Theodore curled his lips and said reluctantly.
When Camelia went to find Cedric, he looked a little surprised and asked, "Professor Snape let you back so soon?"
Camelia was confused by Cedric, wondering when did Professor Snape call her?
Seeing her confused face, Cedric also felt strange, "Didn't you tell me in the kitchen this afternoon that you were going to help the professor later? You also said that you might not go to the party with me today, called If I can't wait for you, don't wait."
"How is it possible! I was obviously there all afternoon... Why did you say you saw me in the kitchen? You must have made a mistake."
Cedric scratched Camelia's nose and said softly: "No, you are confused. My baby didn't rest last night, okay?"
Seeing that Cedric didn't look like he was joking with her, Camelia wondered for a while whether it was her problem.
"Could it be that I went to the kitchen before I went to find Aurora? No, I obviously went there as soon as I finished eating... and I don't usually run there alone, but how could a person appear in the same time?" Two places? When did Snape call me..."
While muttering, Camelia suddenly remembered something that she almost forgot, so she hurriedly asked Cedric, "Is it going to be full moon today?"
"Yes, the night of the full moon." Cedric didn't know why Camelia looked a little flustered now, but he didn't feel relieved, "Since you're done with your work, should we go to some party or not? Do you want to go to watch the moon with me tonight?"
Camelia sighed and said, "Honey, I'm sorry that I can't accompany you again. Now I have to find Professor Snape. I was so busy that I forgot about it."
The author has something to say:
I thought I would take the exam this week, but I didn't expect it to be changed to next week, so I took another chapter. Now that I have written it all, let's send it out first without waiting for May [-]st.Then I found that two chapters can't finish the plot of this grade. I hope I can write the plot of Goblet of Fire during the May Day holiday.
