Chapter 780 Actors
"ended?"

In the library, Harry, who was absent-mindedly doing his vacation homework, peeked at the Marauder's Map in the book, and found that everyone gathered in the principal's office had left. Standing up, he brought the chair down by the way, making a loud noise, attracting the attention of all the students in the library who were doing homework for the holidays.

Ron and Hermione, who were seriously doing their homework during the holidays, looked sideways at Harry, who was packing up his books. They seemed to have thought of something, and they both started to pack up.

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

It wasn't that Hermione didn't want to trust Harry and Ron, but that they didn't think much about what they did. If they got hotheaded, God knows what would happen, and it might even destroy Albert's plan.

Albert was obviously also on guard against similar problems, 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 the matter, 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 with this matter." Hermione quickly followed the two, and reminded sharply: "We promised, you may make things worse in the past now .”

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

"Harry, now is the critical moment." Hermione took Harry's arm and said seriously: "We have nothing to do, so don't trouble them. After this matter is over, we are going to visit Hagrid." , okay?"

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

Hermione's mistrust irked Harry a little.

"Two days ago, you messed up the matter, and finally asked someone else to clean up the mess for you." Hermione asked rather annoyed, "You insist on watching Hagrid cry, and by the way, you're going to screw everyone else together." Will you be satisfied?"

Harry was left speechless by Hermione's words.

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

"Hermione, Harry didn't mean it, it was just an accident." Ron frowned.

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

Hermione shut up suddenly, because at the corner of the corridor ahead, a group of Malfoys were walking towards them.

Everyone's faces are not very good-looking.

Seeing the gloomy face on the other side, Harry was almost elated.The reason can be imagined, obviously something bad happened.

Hagrid's Buckbeak appeal, for example, was successful.

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

"Yeah, I said Hagrid will definitely win the lawsuit." Harry couldn't hide a smile on his face. He really knew Malfoy's character too well. If Hagrid lost the lawsuit, the other party would see him They'll definitely stop later with a sneer, not a stricken look.

In fact, Hermione thought so too 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 lawsuit?" Ron glared at Hermione dissatisfiedly. "And, from Malfoy's skeptical expression, it's not hard to see that Hagrid must have won the lawsuit."

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

Compared with the "so-called" truth, Hermione was more willing to believe in Albert's judgment, because Albert had told her 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 ask Hagrid ourselves," Harry interrupted the possible quarrel, put away the Marauder's Map again, and trotted towards Hagrid's position.

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

However, after seeing Hagrid, both Harry and Ron felt their hearts tighten, because Hagrid's face could not see any joy of victory at all.

"Hagrid, we met Malfoy just now, and his face is very ugly, have you won this lawsuit?" Harry immediately stepped forward and asked.

"No, I lost." Hagrid looked at Harry and the three of them, and said blankly: "The officials of the Committee for Disposal of Dangerous Creatures were all bribed by Malfoy, and you all know what Lucius Malfoy is like." He threatened and lured others, and even the legal counsel I was looking for was taken away by Malfoy with Garen, and the executioner McNeill, he is Malfoy's old partner."

Ron stared at Harry dumbfounded, and Harry watched Ron go silent, just like Hermione said, Hagrid had lost Buckbeak's appeal.

"Where's Anderson?" Harry asked tremblingly, "Isn't there something he can do?"

"Albert has done his best, he prepared a bunch of hand cards for me," Hagrid said, and took out a bunch of hand cards from his pocket, as well as a water bottle containing tranquilizers, and said, "I followed his suggestion, After drinking the sedative and relying on what he provided, it was true that Malfoy and his party had nothing to say, but the result was the same as what Albert said. Lucius Malfoy bought off the people from the Dangerous Creatures Disposal Committee and Convict Buckbeak and sentence him to death."

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

"Dumbledore tried his best," Hagrid said calmly, taking a sip of the tranquilizer, "Dumbledore doesn't have the power to control the committee, and he was asked to be a witness... However, I'm still very grateful to him, Dumbledore delayed the execution until after sundown, so I would have time to say goodbye to Buckbeak."

"How could this be?"

Harry's eyes widened in shock, he finally understood why Hermione said Hagrid would lose, because from the very beginning, Hagrid had no chance of winning the appeal.

And Albert obviously knew it from the start.

"Don't feel bad for Harry, the situation is not as bad as you imagined. By the way, you should have a drink too!" Hagrid took out a few paper cups from his pocket and poured one for Harry, Ron and Hermione respectively. Tranquilizer.

"What is this?" Harry looked at the potion in his hand in confusion.
"Tranquilizer." Hagrid said without thinking, "After drinking it, don't discuss this matter any more, and don't get involved in it. Let it take its course. No matter what Buckbeak's result is, I have to accept it."

"Hagrid!"

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

Harry stared blankly at Hagrid's leaving back, then looked at the glass of tranquilizer in his hand, and fell into a short silence.

"Have a drink, let's go back and continue doing our vacation homework." Hermione was about to go back to the library to continue her homework.

"What is this, Hagrid actually comforted us instead?" Ron was also a little dumbfounded, "Did he drink this stuff and make himself stupid?"

"He's not stupid, it's you who are stupid." Hermione had already understood what Hagrid meant, and said to Harry and Ron, "Let's go, go back and finish your homework for the holidays, and we'll go to Hagrid tomorrow."

……

The Hazardous Creatures Committee didn't run to Hagrid's cabin to stare at Buckbeak.

After all, they had just had a falling out with Hagrid, and no one wanted to go there to bask in the sun, anyway, Professor Dumbledore had promised.

All afternoon, Hagrid stared blankly at Buckbeak in the pumpkin patch.

Buckbeak seemed to have sensed that something bad was about to happen, and seemed to be in low spirits, but Hagrid didn't dare to go over to comfort it, because Albert had told him that after bringing Buckbeak to the pumpkin patch, he would not Forget it.

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

It said what he should do if he lost the appeal.

Ok!

Albert planned to let Buckbeak break free from his chains and fly away.

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

Although Hagrid felt that this method was unreliable, it was Albert who proposed this plan. Hagrid believed that since Albert planned to do this, he must have made all the preparations.

After memorizing the contents of the parchment over and over again, Hagrid repeated the rehearsal in his head until the sun dipped and it was getting dark, then he threw the parchment into the fireplace and watched it turn into a pile of ashes .

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

At this moment, Ya Ya stood at the door and barked wildly towards the outside.

"Yaya, be quiet."

Hagrid went to the door and saw Dumbledore, Lucius Malfoy, the council's old wizard, and Executioner McNeil coming down the stone steps towards the hunting lodge.

"Where's the beast?" McNeil asked grimly.

"In the pumpkin patch." Hagrid glared at Lucius Malfoy.

McNeill walked around the house and saw Buckbeak pecking at a mouse with a cruel smile on his face.

Just as he was about to step up to execute the execution with an axe, Dumbledore suddenly said, "If I remember correctly, the official announcement about the execution must be read first, and then you need to sign on it. McNeill, You should listen too, and you Malfoy, since you're here, you have to sign it too, it's Ministry of Magic procedure."

"Yes, that's right," said the old wizard.

Everyone crowded into Hagrid's hut, and McNeill was still watching the hippogriff in the pumpkin field through the window, as if thinking about where to drop the axe.

"...The Committee on the Handling of Dangerous Creatures has decided that Buckbeak, the Hippogriff, should be executed at sunset on April [-]...beheaded by Walton McNeill, the executioner appointed by the Committee..." the old man The wizard read from the parchment under Hagrid's hostile gaze.

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

"I want a copy later," said Hagrid to the old wizard, taking the quill tremblingly.

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

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

"McNeill, it's your turn." Dumbledore said to the others after signing the parchment, "Malfoy, 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, McNeil, I'll leave it to you then." The old wizard rolled up the parchment and put it in his robe pocket, not intending to make a copy for Hagrid at all.

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

"No, I want to accompany it for the last time." Hagrid had just finished speaking when he heard a scream from outside: "Where did that beast go?"

"It was chained here," said McNeil furiously. "I just saw it, and it's here!"

"Strange," said Dumbledore with interest. "We all saw it here just now."

Lucius Malfoy felt his heart being held, panting heavily, and looked angrily at Hagrid who had just walked out of the hut.

"Oh, God bless, it's gone, it must have broken free." Hagrid didn't pay attention to Lucius' murderous eyes, and shed tears of joy.

"Someone broke the chain," McNeil growled. "We should search around the castle and the woods."

"It was Potter, Harry Potter must have hidden the beast."

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

"Don't be stupid, Mr. Malfoy, the dementors are watching Hogwarts from all directions, and they won't let other creatures enter and leave the school at will." Dumbledore said softly, "Search the sky and the woods if you want Well, but I have to warn you: I will never allow dementors into Hogwarts."

"There, 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 gift Albert gave me."

"you."

Lucius Malfoy was furious. He was convinced that Hagrid had found some way to smuggle Buckbeak to a safe place. If Dumbledore didn't help him, he wouldn't believe it.

"I'm sure they used the Disillusionment Charm and hid the beast somewhere in the castle. We'd better search the whole of Hogwarts Castle."

asshole!

From the very beginning, the other party had no intention of going to court with him.

Lucius Malfoy was so pissed at this that a gamekeeper had actually made fun of them all for monkeys.
