Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 779: Actor

  Chapter 780 Actor

  "It's over?"

  In the library, Harry, who was absent-mindedly doing his vacation homework, always sneaked a glance at the Marauder's Map in the book. After finding that everyone gathered in the principal's office had left, Harry immediately came to his senses. He got up on the spot, brought the chair down by the way, and made a loud noise, attracting the attention of the students who were doing their vacation homework in the library.

   Ron and Hermione, who were doing their vacation homework seriously, looked at Harry, who was packing up their homework, as if they had thought of something and started to pack up.

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

   It's not that Hermione doesn't want to believe Harry and Ron, it's that they don't go through much of their brains, and if they're too hot, God knows what will happen, and it may even destroy Albert's plan .

  Albert was obviously worried about the occurrence of similar problems, so he specially reminded the three of them not to get involved in this matter.

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

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

   "Harry, I know what you're thinking, but let's not interfere in this matter." Hermione quickly followed the pace of the two, and sternly reminded: "We promised, you may let the past Things got worse."

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

   "Harry, it's a critical moment." Hermione took Harry's arm and said seriously: "We have nothing good to do, so don't go and cause them trouble, we're going to visit after this is over. Hagrid, okay?"

   "Hermione, we just want to know the result, not to mess with it."

   Hermione's distrust irritated Harry a little.

   "You screwed up the first two days, and in the end you had someone else to help you clean up the mess, Harry." Hermione reminded angrily, "You have to see Hagrid sad, Would you be satisfied just by pitting other people together?"

  Harry was speechless by Hermione's words.

   That's right, he almost got Albert and Hagrid together a few days ago.

   "Hermione, that was just an accident." Ron quibble.

   "If Buckbeak loses his head because of this, you're going to tell Hagrid that it was just an accident?" Hermione glared at Ron and warned, "We can't help, so don't Just go and make trouble for them, just wait for the result, you should believe..."

  Hermione suddenly shut up, because at the corner of the corridor ahead, she saw Malfoy's group of people walking towards him.

   Everyone's faces are not very good-looking.

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

   For example, Hagrid's Buckbeak succeeded in his appeal.

   After the four of them left, Ron elbowed Harry's arm and said excitedly, "Harry, did you notice the look on Malfoy's face? Win the case, or Malfoy would never pass up the chance to sneer at us."

   "Yeah, I just said that Hagrid would definitely win the case." Harry's face had a smile he couldn't hide. He knew Malfoy's character too well. If Hagrid lost the case, When the other party sees them, they will definitely stop and sneer, not with a shocked expression.

   Actually, Hermione thought the same at first, but she quickly remembered Albert's words, shook her head and said, "No, Hagrid lost."

   "Do you really want Hagrid to lose the case?" Ron glared at Hermione dissatisfiedly, "And, from Malfoy's skeptical face, it's not hard to see that Hagrid's appeal was successful."

   "No, you don't understand, this is not a matter of appeal at all, Albert told me about it."

   Than its "so-called" truth, Hermione is more willing to believe Albert's judgment, because Albert had told her the reason why Hagrid couldn't win.

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

   "Let's go and ask Hagrid ourselves," Harry interrupted the possible dispute, put away the Marauder's map again, and trotted towards Hagrid's location quickly.

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

  It's just that after seeing Hagrid, Harry and Ron felt their hearts tighten, because there was no joy of victory on Hagrid's 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 of Harry and said with a blank expression: "The officials of the Committee on Disposal of Dangerous Creatures were all bribed by Malfoy, you know what Lucius Malfoy is. Like this, he is good at intimidating and enticing others, and even the legal counsel I found was taken away by Lucius with Galleon, and the executioner McNeil, who is Malfoy's old friend."

   Ron also stared at Harry dumbfounded, and Harry also watched Ron go silent, as Hermione said, Hagrid lost Buckbeak's appeal.

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

   "Albert has done his best, he has prepared a bunch of hand cards for me," Hagrid said, taking out a bunch of hand cards from his pocket, and said with the water bottle containing the tranquilizer: "I follow His suggestion, drinking tranquilizers, and relying on the content he provided, it was true that Malfoy and his party had nothing to say, but the result was the same as what Anderson said, Lucius Malfoy bought the people of the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Organisms , forcibly declared Buckbeak guilty and sentenced to death.”

   "Where's Dumbledore?" Harry asked furiously, "How could Professor Dumbledore allow this to happen."

   "Dumbledore worked hard," Hagrid said, taking a sip of his tranquilizer. "Dumbledore doesn't have the power to control the council, and he's been asked to be a witness... But I'm grateful for him, Dumbledore delayed the execution until after the sun had set, so that I had time to say goodbye to Buckbeak."

   "How come, they are dereliction of duty." Harry's eyes widened in shock, he finally knew why Hermione said Hagrid would lose, because from the beginning, Hagrid could not have successfully appealed.

   And Albert apparently knew it from the start.

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

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

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

   "Sedative." Hagrid said without hesitation: "After you drink it, don't talk about it, don't get involved, let it take its course. Whatever the outcome of Buckbeak, I have to accept it. ."

  "Hagrid!"Hagrid

   "Even if I don't accept it, what can I do!" Hagrid stopped, reached out and patted Harry on the shoulder and said, "Albert always says anger doesn't solve problems, and I think he's right."

  Harry stared blankly at the back of Hagrid leaving, then looked at the paper cup in his hand, and fell into a short-term silence.

   "Drink, let's go back to do our vacation homework." After Hermione drank the cup of tranquilizer, she was ready to go back to the library to continue her homework.

   "What is this, Hagrid in turn comforts us?" Ron was also dumbfounded, "Did he make himself stupid by drinking this stuff?"

   "He's not stupid, it's you who are stupid." Hermione already understood what Hagrid meant, and said to Harry and Ron, "Come on, go back and finish your vacation homework, we'll go to Haig tomorrow. grid.”

  …

   The people who dealt with the Dangerous Creatures Committee didn't go to Hagrid's hut to stare at Buckbeak.

   After all, they had just fallen out with Hagrid, and no one wanted to bask in the sun, and Professor Dumbledore had promised.

   Hagrid stared at Buckbeak in the pumpkin patch all afternoon.

   Buckbeak seemed to sense that something bad was about to happen, and seemed to have no spirit, but Hagrid didn't dare to move it, because Albert instructed, after bringing Buckbeak to the pumpkin field , leave it alone.

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

   it says what to do after losing the appeal.

   Okay!

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

   As for how to do it, Albert did not say.

  Although Hagrid felt that this method was very unreliable, it was Albert who proposed this plan. Hagrid believed that since Albert planned to do this, he must have been fully prepared.

   After memorizing the contents of the parchment over and over, rehearsing side by side in his mind, until the sun was tilting and it was getting dark, Hagrid threw the parchment into the fireplace and watched it become A pile of ashes.

  Harry, Ron, and Hermione didn't show up, which made Hagrid relieved. He was really afraid that the three of them would appear rashly to disrupt Albert's plan! "

   At this moment, Fang Ya stood at the door and barked out.

  "Tooth, be quiet."

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

   "Where's that beast?" McNeill asked grimly.

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

   McNeil had a cruel smile on his face as he spared the house to see Buckbeak pecking at mice.

   Just as he was about to come forward with an axe to execute the execution, Dumbledore suddenly said: "If I remember correctly, you must read the official announcement about the execution first, and then you need to sign it. McNeil, you should listen too, and you, Lucius, since you're here, you'll have to sign too, it's Ministry of Magic procedure."

  "Yes, that's it."

  Everyone crowded into Hagrid's hut, and McNeil was still looking out the window at the hippogriffs in the pumpkin fields, as if thinking about where to drop the axe.

  "...The Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures has decided that Buckbeak, the hippogriff, is hereinafter referred to as the convicted. Execution shall take place at sunset on June 6th... Beheading shall be executed as designated by the Committee. Hand Walton McNeill..." The old wizard read the parchment under Hagrid's hostile gaze.

  "...the following as witnesses. Hagrid, you need to sign here!"

   "I'll have a copy later." Hagrid took the quill quiveringly and said to the old wizard.

   "That's a perfectly reasonable request," Dumbledore said.

   "Okay, but we'll have to wait until we're done." The old wizard reluctantly agreed.

   "McNeil, it's your turn." Dumbledore said to several others after signing the parchment, "Malfoy, since you're here, you need to sign too."

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

   "Okay MacNeil, I'll leave it to you next." The old wizard rolled up the parchment and put it in his pocket, not planning to make a copy for Hagrid at all.

   "Hagrid, don't go out, maybe it's better..." Dumbledore comforted softly.

   "No, I want to accompany him on the last ride." Hagrid had just finished speaking when he heard a scream from outside: "Where's that beast?"

  "It was chained here," McNeill said furiously. "I just saw it, right here!"

   "It's weird," Dumbledore said with interest. "We all saw it right here."

   Lucius felt as if his heart was being held, and looked angrily at Hagrid who had just walked out of the hut.

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

   "Someone unchained," roared McMunier. ~IndoMTL.com~ We should search around the castle, and the woods. "

  "It's Potter, it must be Harry Potter who hid the beast."

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

   "Don't be silly, Mr. Malfoy, Dementors are watching the Hogwarts school from all sides, they won't let other creatures come and go in and out of the castle at will." Dumbledore said softly, "Search the sky and the sky if you want to. The woods, but I have to warn you: Dementors are never allowed into Hogwarts."

   "Okay, Hagrid. I'd like a cup of tea or a brandy."

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

   "You guys!" Malfoy blushed with anger. He knew he was being tricked by a gamekeeper, and he wouldn't believe it without Dumbledore's help.

   "I'm sure they used the Disillusionment Charm to hide the beast in the castle, we'd better search the whole Hogwarts castle," said Lucius Malfoy angrily.
