Chapter 344: Save Buckbeak
Chapter 344 Rescue Buckbeak
"Drinking tea?" he asked, but he didn't go to get the teapot, he just kept shaking there.
"You shouldn't have come." He whispered, talking all the time, looking silly.
"Where is Buckbeak? Hagrid." Hermione asked in a low voice. Hermione's appearance made Hermione very sad, and she tried to divert his attention.
Hagrid sat there and said helplessly, "I, I took it outside, I tied it to the pumpkin patch with a rope, and wanted it to look at the world for the last time and breathe some fresh air."
"It's still a child, it's not its fault, they shouldn't treat it like that."
"It's harmless, it's so cute, it's not fierce at all." Hagrid said sincerely.
Regarding this, everyone knows that Buckbeak's is not dangerous, but only against giants like Hagrid.
Ron looked at Harry, then asked Hagrid carefully, "Dumbledore, is there any way."
"He figured out a way." Hagrid said, "but he didn't have the power to control the committee. He told them that Buckbeak was not dangerous. But they didn't believe this. They decided to execute Buckbeak and said it was According to tradition."
"They are obviously afraid. They are afraid of Lucius Malfoy. Lucius Malfoy threatened them. I think the executioner, McNeil, he is Lucius’s friend. Lucius asked him to come. of."
Hagrid said sadly. "I only hope that the execution can be done quickly, so that Buckbeak will not suffer. I will stay with him."
He swallowed, a little stupefied, and his eyes looked very helpless. He said, "Dumbledore will be there too, he will come, and his letter in the morning told me. He said he would be with me. Me, he is such a good person."
"I'm going to pour you some tea." Hagrid stood up faintly and frantically looked for it in the room.
"We just ate, we don't need these."
Harry stopped Hagrid from being busy, but he couldn't listen at all, hurriedly pouring milk all over, and squeezing several cups in a row.
There were no more cups, and he finally gave up making tea for Harry and the others.
Hagrid choked and said, "There are no more cups. I can't ask you to drink tea. You should go back first. It's time for you to go back to the castle. Buckbeak will be executed when you come down. You can't see this."
"It's already night, and you shouldn't be here anyway. If Dumbledore and Fudge run into you sneaking out of the castle, it will cause you big trouble."
"We should be with you, and we will be with you, Hagrid." Hermione said, holding back tears. Hagrid's appearance made her very worried, and she couldn't leave him at this time.
"You should go back, I can't let you stay here." Hagrid said helplessly, "They are coming soon."
As he spoke, his slightly improved face became extremely pale again, and his eyes lost their expression. He turned his eyes and stared out the window.
"They're here" Hagrid said in a trembling voice.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione all looked in the direction of Hagrid's eyes quickly. In the distance, it was the group of people who walked down the stone steps of the castle.
Walking in the forefront was Dumbledore, his silver hair and beard gleaming in the afterglow of the setting sun, and next to him was Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge, his expression serious and heavy. Behind is the tall and strong executioner McNeill, and the old and weak committee members.
"You must go back now." Hagrid's voice and his whole person are shaking, his voice has completely changed. "You must leave immediately, not let them see you here, this will cause trouble, go. Hurry up"
Hagrid stumbled towards the back door and said, "Hurry up, I will take you through the back door."
They followed Hagrid through the door leading to the back garden, past the pumpkin field, a few yards away, where Buckbeak was tied. It was tied behind a tree in the pumpkin field, and it seemed to feel a little bit like it knew something would happen.
It walked around irritably, digging the ground with its claws, tearing the rope that tied it.
"It's okay, Piccolo." Hagrid said softly. "It's okay." There was endless pain in his heart, and there was no way to get rid of it.
He turned his head towards Harry, and Ron and Hermione said, "Go quickly, go quickly."
"Hagrid, we can't leave like this." Hermione said anxiously. "We can tell them the truth. Buckbeak is not dangerous. They can't kill him."
"Should we let it go?" Ron asked carefully. If Buckbeak is let go now, everything is too late Hagrid hesitated and said, "If we let go, I He will be imprisoned in Azkaban." These days, he has been letting go of Buckbeak, or he has struggled and wandered between leaving it. But in the end, the dementor was terrible, surpassing everything, and he was unwilling to return to that terrible place.
"Hurry up," Hagrid yelled. "If you are discovered, I will get into more trouble."
Reluctantly, they put on the invisibility cloak. At this time, there was a knock on the door from the hut. Those people have arrived, Minister of Magic Fudge, Dumbledore, and the executioner.
Hagrid said in the direction where they disappeared, "Go, don't stay here, don't stay and listen."
He walked slowly back to the cabin, where he was knocking on the door.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione stayed there at a loss. They looked at Hagrid's back and then at Buckbeak.
It seemed more anxious, it tore the rope hard and grabbed the ground hard. It seems that the danger is coming.
"What should we do?" Hermione said anxiously. "We can't just leave like this, what should we do."
"Should we stay here and accompany Hagrid later?" Ron asked in a low voice. Maybe they could stay and comfort Hagrid after the others had left.
"They are too many people, we may be found." Harry said uncomfortably. He didn't agree to stay here. To stay here, they had to face not only the Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge, but also Dumbledore, and the executioner who looked very difficult to deal with.
Besides, let them watch Buckbeak being executed, they can't do it.
"But what should we do?" Hermione said unwillingly, but even she didn't know what to do or what to do.
