It was almost evening, the sky was dark, and the sun sprinkled the last ray of light into the Forbidden Forest, and the undulating glade seemed a little lonely in the magnificent warm sun.

Hagrid stood up suddenly, his eyes fixed on the window. His face had been ruddy, but now he radiated a pleasant mood in the dim sunlight. "Here they are" Augustus stood up and looked over the window, and in the distance, a group of men were walking down the stone steps of the castle. Leading in front was Dumbledore, his silver beard glistening in the afterglow of the setting sun. Next to him was Cornelius Fudge, and behind him were the old and frail members of the committee.

"Why is Mr. Dumbledore here?" Hermione looked into the distance in some surprise.

Hagrid chuckled, "The principal has always been at ease with this case, so you must insist on participating in the review process at the end of the year, you should leave through the back door now, if the principal finds out that he is still outside the school during this time period, it is still not very compliant." ”

"Yes, it stands to reason that we can't leave the school at this time, so let's take our leave." Augustus nodded knowingly and said goodbye to Hagrid.

Hagrid led the group to the door leading to the back garden, where Buckbeak was tethered behind a tree in Hagrid's pumpkin patch, as if unaccustomed to being watched by others, and Buckbeak was a little less interested, clawing at the dirt irritably.

Hagrid sent them outside, stopped, waved goodbye to them, and walked slowly back to the hut, where there was already a knock on his door. The four Augustus began to walk quietly around Hagrid's hut. As they reached the other side of the hut, the front door slammed shut.

"Let's go, if there are no surprises, Buckbeak should be fine. Now, it's best to get back to school as soon as possible, or you'll be caught outside the castle by Filch, and it's hard to say that you'll have to be locked up for a few days. Augustus glanced at the hut behind him and urged the three.

They stepped onto the sloping lawn. Walk towards the castle. Now the sun is sinking fast, the sky is clear, gray with purple in the gray, but there is still a hint of red in the west. Ron froze, motionless. "Oh, Ron." Hermione began. "Is it Spotted?? It won't?? Stay still??"

Ron bent down, trying to keep Spotted in his pocket, but the rat went berserk, screaming, writhing, and kicking frantically, trying to bite Ron's hand. "Spotted, it's me, you fool, it's Ron." Ron whispered.

Augustus' eyes were fixed on Ron's package, how could an Animagus, who was logically free from the wildness of animals, be at this juncture? In this way, the castle must have been a place where he could not avoid it, otherwise he would not have escaped to Hagrid's hut for so long.

They turned and walked towards the castle, walking slowly, and now the light was rapidly fading. By the time they reached the open field, darkness had descended around them like a spell.

"Spotted, don't move." Ron whispered, his hand resting on his chest. The rat was struggling like crazy. Patchard was visibly terrified, and struggled as hard as it could to break free from Ron's grasp. "What's wrong with it?" But Harry just saw?? Crook Hill sneakily walked towards them, leaning low on the ground, yellow eyes glowing strangely in the darkness. It could see them, or it could hear the speckled screams that followed, and Harry couldn't tell which one was going on.

Crookshan is obviously a normal cat, is it the object of Spotted's fear, Augustus has doubts in his eyes, a wizard, even after transformation, it is still impossible to be afraid of an ordinary cat, although this is its natural enemy after transformation, it is really a little weird.

Crook Hill!" Hermione lamented, "Don't come, go away." Crook Hill! Go away!" But the cat got closer. "Spotted?? Don't!" Too late?? The rat slipped out of Ron's finger and fell to the ground and fled. Crookshank chased after him as soon as he jumped, and Harry and Hermione didn't have time to stop it.

Augustus frowned slightly, pulled out his wand, and a huge palm volleyed down into the air, grabbing the blob running into the darkness, the mouse was obviously terrified, and kept struggling in the air, and Crookshan kept trying to jump up on the ground to catch the blob that was imprisoned in the air.

Ron let out a long sigh of relief, walked up to Augustus, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Augustus, if you don't make a move, in such a dark environment, I'm afraid I don't know when I will find Spotted again." ”

Augustus waved his hand casually and handed the mouse to Ron, "It's fine, but you still need to be careful, and now it seems that it is very reluctant to go back to school." ”

Ron nodded, putting Spotted back in his pocket.

Hermione gasped and said, "Let's go back quickly, Dumbledore??" That minister?? They're coming out soon??"

But before they could hide themselves, or even catch their breath, they heard the sound of huge paws gently stepping on the ground, and something was coming towards them from the darkness?? A large dog with pale eyes and black fur.

Harry reached for his wand, but it was too late?? The dog leaped, its front paws already on his chest. He quickly rolled back, he felt its hot breath, and saw an inch-long tooth that rolled over him with too much force. Harry was dazzled and felt as if his ribs were broken, and he tried to stand up; He could hear the dog whirling in place, ready to attack again. Ron stood up. The dog lunged at them again, and Ron pushed Harry aside, and the dog bit Ron's outstretched arm. Harry lunged over and grabbed a handful of dog hair, but the dog dragged Ron away effortlessly, as if Ron were a rag doll.

Augustus surprisingly didn't make any moves, narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the scene in front of him, the slender figure pulling out a shadow of light in the dim moonlight, he quietly looked at the big black dog in front of him, dragged Ron into the darkness, his fingers gently patting the robe.

Harry had an anxious look in his eyes, and was about to speak, when he suddenly found Augustus's wand pointed at him, a dangerous light gathered at the tip of the wand, Harry looked at Augustus in disbelief, his mind went blank, his lips became a little pale, and the next moment, a bright red light flashed, and Harry's dark green pupils flashed with a hint of horror.
