"ended?"

In the library, Harry, who was absent-mindedly doing his vacation homework, always sneaked a glance at the spot map in the book, and found that all the people gathered in the principal's office had left, Harry immediately came to his mind and was on the spot. I got up, took the chair upside down, and made a loud noise, which attracted the eyes of the students who were doing vacation homework in the library.

Ron and Hermione, who were doing their vacation homework seriously, looked at Harry who was packing their homework together. They seemed to think of something and started to pack their things.

Ron actually wanted to see the situation of the appeal over there, while Hermione was worried that the two would cause unnecessary trouble at a critical moment.

It's not that Hermione didn't want to believe Harry and Ron, but that the two of them didn't go through their brains very much. If their brains get hot, God knows what will happen, and it might even ruin Albert's plan.

Albert was obviously worried about a similar problem, so he specifically reminded the three of them not to get involved in this matter.

As soon as he left the library, Ron asked, "What's wrong with Harry."

"Malfoy and the others have left the principal's office. I think Buckbeak's appeal should be over." Harry said in a low voice.

"Harry, I know what you are thinking, but let's not interfere with this matter." Hermione quickly followed the pace of the two and reminded sharply: "We promised that you may make things change in the past. worse."

"Hermione, we just want to know what happened to Buckbeak's appeal." Ron comforted softly.

"Harry, it's a critical moment now." Hermione grabbed Harry's arm and said seriously: "We have nothing to do, so don't bother them. After this is over, we are going to visit Hagrid. Okay?"

"Hermione, we just want to know the result, not to make trouble."

Hermione's distrust irritated Harry.

"Two days ago, you messed up things, and finally asked someone to help you clean up the mess, Harry." Hermione reminded rather annoyedly: "You have to watch Hagrid be upset, by the way. Will people be satisfied if they hang out together?"

Harry was speechless by Hermione.

That's right, he almost pitted Albert and Hagrid the other day.

"Hermione, it was just an accident." Ron quibbled.

"If Buckbeak loses his head because of this, you go tell Hagrid that this is just an accident?" Hermione glared at Ron and warned, "If we didn't help, please don't give it anymore. They make trouble, just wait for the result, you should believe..."

Hermione shut up suddenly, because at the corner of the corridor ahead, he saw a group of Malfoy walking towards this side.

Everyone's faces are not pretty.

Seeing their gloomy expressions, Harry was ecstatic. The reason can be imagined, obviously something bad happened.

For example, Hagrid's Buckbeak appeal was successful.

After the four left, Ron touched Harry's arm with his elbow and said excitedly, "Harry, did you notice the expression on Malfoy's face? I dare say Hagrid must have won the lawsuit. , Otherwise Malfoy will never give up the opportunity to mock us."

"Yeah, I said Hagrid will definitely win the lawsuit." Harry had an unconcealable smile on his face. He knew Malfoy's character too well. If Hagrid loses the lawsuit, the other party will see They will definitely stop to ridicule, rather than look shocked.

In fact, Hermione thought this way at first, but she soon remembered what Albert had said, and shook her head and said, "No, Hagrid lost."

"Do you want Hagrid to lose the lawsuit that much?" Ron glared at Hermione dissatisfied, "and, from Malfoy's suspicious expression of life, it is not difficult to see that Hagrid succeeded in his appeal."

"No, you don't understand, it's not an appeal at all, Albert told me about it."

Hermione was more willing to trust Albert's judgment than the "so-called" truth, because Albert had told her why Hagrid could not win.

"We don't understand?" The expression on Ron's face became more and more weird. "Albert may be a genius, but he must also make mistakes."

"Let's go and ask Hagrid personally," Harry interrupted the possible dispute, put away the spot map again, and trot towards Hagrid's location.

After a while, the three met Hagrid in the corridor on the third floor.

However, after seeing Hagrid, Harry and Ron felt tight, because Hagrid did not see any joy of victory on his face.

"Hagrid, we met Malfoy just now, his face is very ugly, did you win the appeal?" Harry asked immediately.

"No, I lost." Hagrid looked at the three Harry and said blankly: "The officials of the Dangerous Creatures Committee were bought by Malfoy. You know what Lucius Malfoy is like. He is good at intimidating other people, even the legal counsel I was looking for was taken away by Lucius with Gallon, and the executioner McNeill, he is Malfoy's old partner."

Ron also looked at Harry dumbfounded, Harry also watched Ron become silent, as Hermione said, Hagrid lost Buckbeak's appeal.

"Where's Anderson?" Harry asked tremblingly. "Didn't he have a way?"

"Albert has tried his best. He prepared a bunch of hand cards for me," Hagrid said as he took out a bunch of hand cards from his pocket, and said to the water bottle with the tranquilizer, "I followed his advice. After drinking the tranquilizer, and relying on the content he provided, Malfoy and his party did say that they had nothing to say, but the result was the same as Anderson said. Lucius Malfoy bought the person from the Committee for Disposal of Dangerous Organisms and forcibly announced Buckbeak is guilty and sentenced to death."

"Where is Dumbledore?" Harry asked furiously. "How could Professor Dumbledore allow this to happen."

"Dumbledore worked hard," Hagrid said, taking a sip of the tranquilizer. "Dumbledore has no power to control the committee, and he was asked to be a witness... But I still appreciate him, Dumbledore will The execution of the death penalty is delayed until the sun sets, so I still have time to say goodbye to Buckbeak."

"How come, they are dereliction of duty." Harry stared in shock. He finally knew why Hermione said Hagrid would lose, because from the beginning, Hagrid had no chance of succeeding in an appeal.

And Albert obviously knew it from the beginning.

"Don't be sad Harry, it's not as bad as you think." Hagrid said suddenly, "By the way, you guys have a drink too!"

With that, Hagrid took out several paper cups from his pocket and poured a tranquilizer each for Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

"What's this?" Harry looked at the potion in front of him in confusion?

"Tranquilizer." Hagrid said without hesitation: "After drinking it, stop discussing this matter, and don't participate in it, let it go with the flow. No matter what the outcome of Buckbeak is, I have to accept it."

"Hagrid!" Hagrid

"Even if I don't accept it, what can I do!" Hagrid stopped, patted Harry on the shoulder and said, "Albert always said that anger can't solve the problem. I think he is right."

Harry stared blankly at Hagrid's leaving back, looked at the paper cup in his hand, and fell into short-stop silence.

"Drink, let's go back and continue our vacation homework." After drinking the glass of tranquilizer, Hermione was about to go back to the library to continue doing homework.

"What is this, Hagrid comforted us in turn?" Ron was also dumbfounded, "Did he drink this stuff and drink himself stupid?"

"He's not stupid, you are stupid." Hermione had understood what Hagrid meant, and said to Harry and Ron, "Let's go, go back and finish the vacation homework, we will go to Hagrid tomorrow."

The person who handled the Dangerous Creatures Committee did not run to Hagrid's cabin and stared at Buckbeak.

After all, they just fell out with Hagrid, and no one wanted to go out in the sun, and Professor Dumbledore also made a promise.

Throughout the afternoon, Hagrid stared at Buckbeak in the pumpkin patch in a daze.

Buckbeak seemed to be aware that something bad was about to happen, and he seemed to have no energy, but Hagrid did not dare to move it, because Albert had asked him not to take Buckbeak into the pumpkin field. Don't worry about it again.

After throwing all the hand cards in his pocket into the fireplace and burning them, Hagrid continued to read another piece of parchment.

It says what to do after losing the appeal.

Ok!

Albert intends to let Buckbeak break free from the rope and fly away.

As for how to do it, Albert didn't say.

Although Hagrid felt that this approach was unreliable, it was Albert who proposed this plan. Hagrid believed that since Albert planned to do so, he must be fully prepared.

After memorizing the contents of the parchment over and over again, I practiced side by side in my mind, until the sun tilted and the sky dimmed, Hagrid threw the parchment paper into the fireplace and watched it turn into a pile. ash.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione did not show up, making Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the three of them would appear rashly to disrupt Albert's plan! "

At this moment, Yaya stood at the door and barked outside.

"Ya Ya, be quiet."

Hagrid walked to the door and saw Dumbledore, Lucius, the veteran committee member and executioner McNeill walking down the stone steps towards the hunting lodge.

"Where is the beast?" McNeill asked coldly.

"Outside, outside, in the pumpkin field." Hagrid glared at Lucius fiercely.

A cruel smile appeared on McNeill's face, and he passed the house to see Buckbeak who was pecking at mice.

Just as he was holding an axe and preparing to execute the death sentence, Dumbledore suddenly said: "If I remember correctly, you must first read the official notice on the execution of the death penalty, and then you need to sign on it. McNeill , You should also listen, and you Lucius, since you are here, you have to sign as well. This is a procedure of the Ministry of Magic."

"Yes, that's it."

Everyone squeezed into Hagrid's cabin. McNeill was still observing the eagle-headed horse-winged beasts in the pumpkin field through the window, and seemed to be thinking about where to get his axe off.

"...The Committee for Disposal of Dangerous Creatures decided that the eagle-headed horse has a winged beast, Buckbeak, hereinafter referred to as a convicted person. The execution should be executed at sunset on June 6... The beheading was executed and the executioner Walton Mack appointed by the committee Neil..." The old wizard read the contents of the parchment under Hagrid's hostile gaze.

"...The following are witnesses. Hagrid, you need to sign here!"

"I want a copy later." Hagrid took the quill tremblingly and said to the old wizard.

"This request is completely reasonable." Dumbledore said.

"Okay, but we have to wait for us to finish this thing." The old wizard reluctantly agreed.

"McNeill, it's your turn." Dumbledore said to the others after signing the parchment, "Malfoy, since you are here, you also need to sign."

The two came to the table, picked up the quill on the table in disgust, and signed their names on the parchment.

"Okay, McNeill, I'll take care of you next." The old wizard rolled up the parchment and put it in his pocket. He didn't plan to make a copy for Hagrid.

"Hagrid, you don't want to go out, it might be better..." Dumbledore comforted softly.

"No, I want to accompany him on the last journey." As soon as Hagrid finished speaking, he heard a scream outside: "Where is the beast?"

"It was originally tied here," McNeill said furiously. "What I saw just now is right here!"

"It's strange," Dumbledore said with interest. "We all saw it here just now."

Lucius felt his heart held by someone, and looked angrily at Hagrid who had just walked out of the hut.

"Oh, God bless it. If it is gone, it must have broken free, Buckbeak, how smart you are! Hagrid ignored Lucius at all, and happily shed tears.

"Someone unlocked the chains," McMinnell snarled. "We should search around the castle and the woods."

"It's Potter, UU reading www.uukanshu.com must be Harry Potter hiding the beast."

Malfoy remembered the Harry Potter he had met in the hallway, and roared furiously: "He must have done it. I'm sure he took the beast away."

"Don't be silly, Mr. Malfoy, the dementors are monitoring Hogwarts school from all directions. They don't let other creatures enter and leave the castle at will." Dumbledore said softly, "search the sky and the woods if you like. Yeah, but I have to remind you: Dementors are never allowed to enter Hogwarts."

"Okay, Hagrid. I want a cup of tea, or a glass of brandy."

"Of course, Professor," Hagrid's voice trembled slightly with excitement, "I have an unopened bottle of brandy here, the Christmas present that Anderson gave me last time."

"You guys!" Malfoy flushed with anger. He knew that he was being played by a hunting ground guard, and he really didn't believe it if Dumbledore hadn't helped him.

"I'm sure they used the phantom spell and hid the beast in the castle. We'd better search the entire Hogwarts castle." Lucius Malfoy said angrily.
