Chapter 229: Sirius Appears
The four pushed open the back door and found Dumbledore and the Minister of Magic, Fudge, and the executioner looking over the mountain, and then Hagrid opened the door and the three walked in, and the four Bruce hurriedly slipped out of the back door and hid behind the pile of pumpkins.

It was relatively close to Hagrid's hut, so the four of them could hear the conversation inside.
Minister of Magic, Fudge, turned his back to the window and said, "Hello Hagrid, I now announce to you that the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures has decided that the Hippogriff Buckbeak, later known as the Suspect Beast, should be executed at sunset today!" ā
Hagrid's sad voice came, "Oh my God! Professor, I'm ......"
Just as they were intently "eavesdropping", Bruce suddenly heard a slight sound behind him and hurriedly looked back.
"Who?" Bruce asked softly.
Hermione asked, "What's wrong?" ā
Bruce said, "There are people in the woods. ā
"Ahh The three of them immediately became nervous, and Harry hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ā
Bruce shook his head and said, "I don't see it clearly, it seems to be ...... Looks like I'm wrong! ā
"Cut!" Hermione said helplessly, "Suspicious, forget it, let's go." ā
The four of them hurried up the hillside, and as they left, Buckbeak let out a low cry, and Bruce looked back, seeing a longing in his eyes. It was a very uncomfortable feeling, and maybe Buckbeak was begging them for help, but they couldn't do anything.
"Let's go!" Hermione whispered to him; "We're all sad, but it's better not to add fuel to the fire!"
Bruce nodded and said in disappointment, "Let's go." ā
When they reached the hillside and looked out at the hut, Hagrid and the others were outside, and Hermione burst into tears.
Bruce hugged her, trying to comfort her but didn't know how.
The black-turbaned executioner walked forward, the huge machete falling to the ground, and they even heard the sound of chopping. A flock of black crows were startled and flapped their wings and flew into the air.
Hermione wept and buried her head in Bruce's arms, lamenting, "No, why? ā
Bruce whispered, "I promise you, Hermione! I'll take Malfoy here to confess to Buckbeak, definitely! ā
Ron said angrily, "Damn Malfoy, wait...... Oops! ā
"What's wrong?" Bruce asked.
Ron looked at his bloodied right hand and said in surprise, "Spotted bit me." ā
Ron was about to pick up Spotted, but somehow it dodged away and ran away.
"Spotted! Spotted! Ron screamed and chased after him.
"Ron!" Bruce shouted, and the trio followed.
Running over a hill, just as the Bruce trio tried to pass over, a dark shadow suddenly stood in front of them.
"Jack!?" Bruce said in surprise.
Bruce's pet Jack appeared in front of them, and Bruce said in surprise, "Why are you here?" Jack. ā
"Wow!" Jack screamed.
Bruce ignores Jack as he thinks he has snuck it out, and says to Hermione and Harry, "Let's go over and have a look." ā
"Wang!"
Unexpectedly, Jack screamed again and kept running around the three of them, Hermione asked in wonder; "What's wrong with it?"
Seeing that the three of them stopped, and Jack also stopped running in front of them, Bruce said in surprise, "Jack, you ...... It doesn't seem to want us to pass, but why? ā
"Huh! Guys, I think I know why, look! Harry pointed to the front in horror.
Bruce and Hermione looked ahead and saw that Ron had caught Spotted sitting on the ground, but he was sitting under a deadly tree. is the beating willow who has a "great friendship" with them.
"Ron, run!" Bruce hurriedly shouted.
Hearing the voices of the three of them, Ron subconsciously looked up, but what the three of them didn't expect was that Ron actually pointed behind them and shouted, "Watch out for your back." ā
The three of them hurriedly looked back, and the big black dog that Bruce had seen twice appeared on the top of the hill behind them, and Bruce said in surprise, "It's it, Jack's friend!" ā
Harry hurriedly said, "No! I've seen ...... outside."
Before he could finish speaking, the black dog rushed towards the three of them. Bruce immediately pulled out his wand, but the next second Jack actually bit Bruce's trouser leg and took him backwards.
"Jack! What are you doing? Bruce asked angrily.
The black dog suddenly jumped up and jumped over the heads of the three of them, and rushed towards Ron, almost in the blink of an eye, it pounced on Ron, biting Ron's leg and dragging it back.
"Help me! Save me! Ron shouted.
"Ron!" The three shouted, and Bruce glared at Jack and yelled, "I'll settle accounts with you when I go back!" ā
The three of them hurried over, and Jack looked at his master's back and screamed, as if trying to justify something, and then ran after him.
Ron held Spotted with one hand and kept scratching the ground with the other, but the black dog was too powerful.
"Help me!!" Ron cried.
Bruce was the fastest runner, but then the black dog bit Ron and dragged him into the hollow of the tree beneath the beating willow.
Bruce leapt in front of Ron to catch him, but he was too slow and Ron was dragged into the hollow of the tree.
"!" Bruce thumped to the ground and roared.
Hermione and Harry walked over to help Bruce up, and the three of them looked at the hollow and shouted Ron's name.
That's when ......
"Beware!"
Bruce noticed the danger and immediately pressed the two to the ground, and a slender vine swung fiercely over them.
"Huh!"
But there was not only one branch in the beating willow, and before they could stand up, another vine was directly whipped down.
"Armor protection!"
"Bang!"
The "talisman charm" blocked the vine, and the three of them immediately stood up. But the beating willow seemed to be provoked, and more than a dozen vines kept waving in the air to make a "pop" sound.
Another vine swung over.
"Wave it away!"
Bruce swung his right hand, and the Ring's special spell knocked the vine aside. Hermione and Harry immediately did so.
"Wave it away!"
In this way, the three of them knocked the attacking vines into the air and kept retreating backwards. But the range of the beating willow is much larger than last year, and the most important thing is that it has too many branches.
"Wave it away!"
Bruce knocked a vine flying and shouted angrily, "Damn, I'm going to have to find out how to deal with this guy when I get back to school!" ā
"Beware! Submit! Hermione shouted, and Bruce immediately crouched down, and Hermione waved out a spell: "One wave!" ā
A vine nearly misses Bruce, and Hermione reminds, "We'll have to wait until we can get back unharmed." ā
"Oh my God! What does it want to do? Harry suddenly shouted.
The three of them hurriedly looked at it, and a tree trunk that was more than three people thick in the beating willow actually swung straight towards this side.
"Wave it away!"
Bruce immediately threw a spell at it, but this "Ring Charm" hit a wrist-thick branch just fine, hitting this thick branch was no different from tickling.
"Run! Run! Bruce hurriedly shouted.
But just as the three of them were about to leave, three branches wrapped around them and tied them to death.
"I haven't heard that beating people will tie people up!" Harry shouted.
Bruce laughed and said, "Don't think about this at this time!" ā
The thick branch fell down towards the three of them.
"Ahh
"Wow!"
Just as the three of them were about to close their eyes in despair, Jack's cry sounded from behind, and then a miraculous thing happened, the branch actually stopped above their heads, and slowly returned to its original position, and the branch on its body was loosened.
"Wow!"
Jack ran up to the three of them and yelled at the beating willow, which seemed to have received some order and became very peaceful.
"Jack?" Bruce looked at his pet in surprise.
"Wang!"
Jack glanced back at his master and screamed, then burrowed into the hollow of the tree. Bruce said, "Come along, Jack is showing us the way!" ā
The three of them immediately burrowed into the hollow of the tree, and when they got inside, they realized that it was a staircase corridor underneath.
"Bruce, what happened to Jack just now?" Harry asked curiously.
Bruce said, "You ask me, I ask who to go." ā
Hermione said, "That's your dog, don't ask who you ask." ā
Bruce said helplessly: "I really don't know, it's not the first day you saw Jack, don't you know what it was like before?" ā
"Maybe it has something to do with its pedigree?" Hermione guessed.
"Probably," said Bruce, "but even the owner of the pet store didn't know what Jack's pedigree was when I bought it." ā
"Look!" Harry suddenly pointed to the ground and said, "The staircase is wooden!" ā
The ground beneath their feet became artificially made planks, and there was an exit above the stairs.
"In the past!" Bruce said.
The three of them walked to the end of the stairs, and through the exit, they found themselves in a dilapidated house.
Hermione looked around and said, "This looks like a screaming shack!" ā
"Be quiet." Bruce reminded.
Just as they tried to find Ron on the first floor, Jack trotted all the way to the second floor.
"Jack!" Bruce shouted hurriedly.
Then Ron's moaning could be heard from upstairs, and the three of them immediately drew their wands and walked towards the second floor.
There was only one room at the end of the stairs, the door ajar, and the three of them walked in, and Ron was sitting on the floor, moaning in pain.
The three of them hurried over, and Bruce asked, "How's it going?" Ron! ā
Ron hurriedly said, "It's a trap, he's a dog, it's an Animagus!" ā
"What?" The three of them said in surprise.
Only then did they realize that in addition to the trail marks on the floor, the dog's paws and their footprints, there was also a trail of footprints stretching towards the doorway.
"Bang!"
The half-open door closed, and behind it stood a man with a cloak and dirt, none other than the fugitive captured by Azkaban, Sirius Black!
"It's really you!" Bruce said in surprise.
Sirius looked at them with a smile on his face and didn't speak, and Hermione hurriedly stood in front of Harry and said, "If you want to kill Harry, you have to pass the two of us first." ā
Sirius's smile disappeared and he slowly walked towards the three of them, and said coldly, "There will only be one person dead here tonight." (To be continued.) )
