Chapter 209: Rifle Comes to Neville
In the Forbidden Forest, Hazard's mother indifferently watched Buckbik, who was shot down by her own spell and fled, and immediately chased after him.
Not far from the Forbidden Forest, Harry and his party, who were still in shock, had not yet reacted, and the group that was testing whether Lupin was a werewolf turned their eyes to this side.
"What to do, Harry?"
Harry was still hiding in his invisibility cloak, and was about to speak when he heard the voices of Fudge and Professor McGonagall coming from behind him.
"Let's go, Ron." Harry whispered, the black fog in his eyes had dissipated at this time, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of remorse in his heart, he didn't want to be expelled from school because of Buckbeak, and now that the professor and the Ministry of Magic were obviously attracted to him, the Ministry of Magic wouldn't let him go because he was the savior.
Ron was flustered, and he felt Harry's arm grab and run away, the only way he could think of it.
"Hermione, let's go." Harry called out to Hermione.
Hermione, however, pulled Harry's invisibility cloak and threw it into the vegetable patch.
"Fool Harry, you can't be wrong again and again!" Hermione stared solemnly at Harry, who was constantly dodging his eyes, and Snape also walked over, and he saw the scene of Hermione pulling down Harry's invisibility cloak from afar, of course, he walked in a hurry, which was not seen by the Ministry of Magic.
"Don't talk nonsense, Ode!" Snape whispered a warning beside Brie, strode up to Harry's side, slapped Harry on the shoulder, and bowed his head viciously, "What are you doing here, don't tell me you did that scene!" β
"No, Professor, we're just here to give Buckbeak one last rideβ" Hermione stepped forward, meeting Snape's eyes, but a cold sweat broke out in her palms and back, and her heart pounded, forcing her to repeat it as usual.
"We're here to see Buckbeak off for the last time, we know it's a crime, and we won't do anything so stupid."
Snape, of course, didn't care about the life or death of a Hippogriff, he looked at the black curly head that was still pressed under his hands, and his nostrils spewed out a breath, "You'd better keep this reason in the future, or the Ministry of Magic will send you to Azkaban, three troublesome trolls!" β
Snape slapped Harry on the head again before turning to look at the Ministry of Magic and Professor McGonagall.
"What's going on here!" Professor McGonagall spoke first, looking at Snape.
Snape's eyes lowered slightly, and Professor McGonagall calmed down a bit.
Brie glanced at Harry lightly, he felt that there was a faint aura of black magic left on Harry's body, very weak, if it weren't for Brie's kindness to the magic of nature and his strong perception, I am afraid he would not have been able to detect it.
Clearly, this magic has fulfilled its mission.
The Aurors had already stormed into the Forbidden Forest, and Fudge's eyes were blank as he stared at Harry.
"I don't know Mr. Potter..."
"Mr. Fudge, I think this matter needs to be found by the Hippogriff before I come and ask them." Snape spoke coldly, interrupting Fudge's embarrassment of Harry.
"Oh, we all know that this is the place of execution, and there shouldn't be a little wizard here." Fudge looked at Snape disapphantly, but he paused when he saw Lupin and Rita Skeeter walking behind him.
Lupin is innocent, the thing that detects the identity of the werewolf has no effect on him at all, and after two defeats, he has no chance to argue with Dumbledore, not to mention that the woman Rita Skeeter is still there, and it is not good if there is news that he is mistreating the savior.
"Then wait, I'm sure Harry is innocent, he's just a student who just passed his final exams." Fudge laughed and snorted.
Here, Rita Skeeter, who had briefly interviewed Lupin, also walked over, and she also saw Buckbeak fall into the Forbidden Forest, and she didn't expect that the material she didn't like would evolve into some good news.
Harry and Ron, pretending to be quails, kept their heads down and didn't dare to speak, while Hermione looked nervously at the Forbidden Forest.
"Something in the Forbidden Forest hurt Buckbeak, I just saw a black light hit it, and it fell from the sky!"
Black light, which is generally synonymous with black magic.
Fudge's face was strange, and then his eyes lit up, and he said loudly, "It must be Blake, this criminal who ran away from Azkaban!" β
Blake!
McGonagall and Snape looked at each other, not quite convinced that it was Blake, but Fudge was clearly chasing after him, and he wanted to continue to trouble Dumbledore.
β¦β¦
In the Forbidden Forest, the fallen Buckbeak did not die immediately, it fled to the deeper part of the Forbidden Forest, but the black magic was an ambush prepared for it for a long time, and the wound in its abdomen was huge, and it was afraid that it would not be able to run far if it was short of life.
"Shhh
Buckbeak had barely gone before he fell slowly, but soon he had to hold up again.
"Poof!" The sound of a dagger stabbing into a vein in Buckbeek's neck.
"Wow!" The dagger was pulled out, and a bright red like a spring shot out and sprinkled on the grass, and the hot temperature spread hot air on the grass...
"Bang!" Buckbeak fell completely, losing his strength, blood spurting from his mouth and teeth, and his eyes gradually became unfocused.
Immediately after, the blood-stained dagger pierced into Buckbeek's chest, and the blood gushed out along with the cut flesh, and as it went deeper, the thumping heart was exposed to the air, and the blazing breath came with the thud, and the man with the dagger did not hesitate, and cut off the beating heart extremely quickly and put it into the potions jar.
"Rustle!" The whole process was quick, and after a while the man left the place.
"Found it." It didn't take long for Mrs. Hazard to follow the smell of blood to find Buckbeak lying on the ground, and she immediately ran to Buckbeak's side, only to see that Buckbeak's heart had been gouged out.
"Who?!"
Mrs. Hazard's eyes widened, and she only felt a pain in her temples, and she was bruised with anger.
"Whew!" She looked at Buckbeak's empty heart and took a deep breath, a black magic condensed in her hand, and threw it on Buckbeak without hesitation, and soon Buckbeak's flesh fell frequently, turning into pus and blood, leaving only a pile of white bones.
"I'm going to catch you!"
Madame Hazard hurried out of the place and chased in the direction of the Forbidden Forest, she wanted to see which one dared to take her things!
"Here!" The Aurors also gathered around Buckbeak who had turned to bones.
"This?" The Aurors glanced at each other, and they all saw the remnants of dark magic on Buckbeak's corpse.
"I'll report to the minister, and you're going to look around..."
β¦β¦
"What?" Fudge glared, and soon came to the side of Buckbeak's body under the leadership of the Aurors, looking at Buckbeak's tragic condition, he swallowed his saliva fiercely, this black magic is too evil, but this kind of magic is to deal with corpses, and it is not very lethal to living creatures.
"Could it be Mrs. Hazard?" Officials from the Department of Magical Enforcement reminded.
The news that Madame Hazard wanted Buckbeak's heart had long been spread throughout the Ministry of Magic.
"This." Fudge touched his chin, thinking about the usefulness of this matter, and soon he said: "It can't be Mrs. Hazard, Buckbeak is about to be executed, it stands to reason that using Buckbeak's heart to heal her child is an ironclad thing, she won't do such a thing." β
After Fudge failed to communicate with Dumbledore, he was already planning to use Buckbeak's heart to win over Lady Hazard, so he expected that Lady Hazard would not bother to do such an illegal thing, but unfortunately what Fudge didn't know was that Lady Hazard didn't want to be controlled by him, and just wanted to treat her son quickly.
If the heart falls into Fudge's hands, Fudge will definitely threaten her with this and delay Hazard's healing time, this time, Mrs. Hazard even brought the potion that matches the heart, as long as she gets the heart, she can even find a hidden place to refine the potion in the first place.
"Harryβ" Ron looked at Buckbeak on the ground with a pale face, obviously he was alive just now, but now there was only a white skeleton left......
"My Buckbeak, my child!"
Hagrid couldn't hold back any longer, and immediately pounced, not caring about the dark magic and pus.
"Hagrid, don't destroy the eucalyptus scene!" Professor McGonagall snapped, but Hagrid was too deep in grief to hear her.
"Oh, Professor McGonagall, don't be so nervous, just let him hold it, there is no need to keep a pile of bones, now just find the murderer hidden in Hogwarts, Blake, this is clearly a demonstration of the Ministry of Magic!"
Fudge immediately qualitatively took the matter.
"The Hippogriff should have been killed and judged by the Axemen, but Blake let it go and then killed it, this is contempt, another declaration of war against the Ministry of Magic, we must capture him!"
"It's time for the Department of Magic to send more Aurors, and today, we're going to search Hogwarts!"
Fudge looked at the officials of the Magic Enforcement Division fiercely, and the people of the Magic Enforcement Department glanced at each other, they could be brought by Fudge, and there was naturally a certain deal between them, so even if they couldn't get used to Fudge, they simply nodded and asked their men to summon the Aurors.
Fudge touched Harry's silent little head and said to Professor McGonagall, "I think Dumbledore will agree to this proposal, please go tell him." β
Professor McGonagall looked at Harry, who had his head down and didn't speak, and clenched her palms.
She pursed her lips before speaking, "I'll talk to Dumbledore, but please let me take the children back first, and tonight is the final dinner, maybe the Aurors will have to be outside the castle..." β
"Final Dinner... Oh wait, I don't think the kids are missing this dinner. β
Fudge didn't care about the dinner, he just wanted to capture Blake now, to prove that the Ministry of Magic he was in charge of was strong, and that the fugitive Blake was an accident and that he could get it back.
"I..."
"Professor McGonagall, I'll explain this to Dumbledore, you better go and leave the young wizards in the dormitory and wait for the next day's check-in so that you can leave Hogwarts and get on the train home."
Fudge smiled heartily, he had caught the handle again this time, and lo and behold, if Dumbledore didn't agree, then he would put the charge on the Savior for letting go of the Hippogriff!
"Please go back, we'll start our search in the Forbidden Forest and head to Hogwarts in the late afternoon."
Patting Harry on the head, Fudge glanced around with satisfaction.
"Where's Oude?"
Bree?
Professor McGonagall looked around and saw that it wasn't just Brie who was gone, but Snape and Lupin were also missing.
"The professors seem to have noticed something, and chased after them in the Forbidden Forest, but I didn't see Brie." Hermione spoke up, of course, she lied, but it was actually Brie who found something and stepped into the Forbidden Forest, while Snape and Lupin caught up with Brie.
"Oh, I'm afraid Mr. Ode is back at Hogwarts on his own, and as for the professors, don't worry, they're all adult wizards." Mr. Fudge drove Professor McGonagall away like flies, so that he could start the layout, and if the murderer was found in a moment, it would not work, he was already preparing to spend the night at Hogwarts tonight.
β¦β¦
On the east side of the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Brie, who had used his speed to shake off Lupin and Snape, finally found a trace of the same dark magic aura again.
This is similar to the magic on Buckbeak and Harry.
He was perched above the treetops, overlooking the Forbidden Forest ahead.
Mrs. Hazard?
"Woohoo!" And Cialis Blake!
Wait, that's Peter!
"Quack, quack, quack...", so familiar with the sound of a toad.
In the distance, a large black mouse covered in blood quickly fled, while a large black dog with a mouth full of blood was pursuing, and Mrs. Adjara stopped.
"Go away, brute!" Mrs. Hazard's eyes were cold, and the furiousness of the severed beard surged up, and a spell struck the big black dog.
The big black dog didn't notice Mrs. Hazard because he caught the big black mouse, and was hit hard by the spell.
The big black dog glared at Lady Adjar viciously, but soon continued to catch up with the big black mouse.
Brie frowned at Lady Hazard, manipulating the magic of nature to disturb the aura of the entire area.
"The breath is broken!" Madame Hazard clenched her wand and looked left and right, believing that the ground was mixed with the blood of a large black mouse, confusing her tracking.
Mrs. Hazard looked uncertainly at the big black dog that got up and continued to pursue the big black mouse, and his mouth was covered in blood.
"Could it be that this is also a magical creature?"
"Madame Hazard, why are you here!" The Aurors are coming.
Lady Hazard stiffened, and she looked at the Aurors with a grim face.
"I saw a winged beast being attacked in the Forbidden Forest, so I chased after it." Naturally, the Aurors didn't believe this answer.
"Madame, please go with us to the minister, someone has released the fugitive Buckbeak and killed him without permission."
Lady Hazard snorted coldly, but did not disobey the Aurors.
"I hope the Minister can find this thief soon, after all, it is not easy to find a Hippogriff, and only the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts can easily find this inhabited magical beast!"
Lady Hazard looked at the Forbidden Forest, she might be more ruthless, there are still many Hippogriffs in the Forbidden Forest, it doesn't matter if there are one or two less tonight...... It's the cheap thief!
Soon the Aurors left with Lady Eden Hazard, and when the Aurors came, the two rats and dogs that you had been chasing after me were gone.
"Quack," the toad sounded.
"Rifle?"
Brie jumped from the treetops and came not far from where Lady Hazard had stood.
There was a big pit here, and a huge tree grew, and under the tree full of leaves and dead branches, a toad opened its bulging gray eyes, and its cheeks kept bulging and making sounds.
Brie recognized the toad at a glance, and no one was more stunned, and Neville was often seen looking for it in Hogwarts.
And this time, it's coming here?
Brie looked uncertainly at the dead leaves, sensing the smell of blood and the sound of nervous breathing.
"Looks like you're coming to your master this time, right, Laifu?"
It's really a loyal pet, much better than the yellow son that Professor McGonagall gave him before, and under Nicol's hands, the yellow child is probably too fat to be fat.
Thinking so, Brie reached out and ripped open the thick leaves.
