Chapter 145: Buckbeak's Escape Plan
"Ah——!h A small number of girls screamed
But it didn't happen as they imagined. The lizard burrowed into the flames not only did not take any damage, but rolled leisurely in it. The flames seemed to grow stronger because of their arrival.
"Don't worry, it's a salamander. In this lesson, you will go around and look for wood and burn the fire as hard as possible. By the way, look at their habits. ”
The little ones were quite interested in these lizards, and they were all actively looking for firewood everywhere, and their enthusiasm was very high.
Ive: They weren't involved. Instead, he and Hagrid gathered around Buckbeak.
"Hagrid, we've talked about it. You just have to release Buckbeak and it won't be put to death. "Hermione was doing Hagrid's thought work
"Will this work?" Hagrid was skeptical
"If you think you can convince the Inquisitors at the Ministry of Magic, you can go to the Inquisition." Hermione shrugged
"Uh-well~ I believe in you," Hagrid clearly didn't have much confidence in himself
As they talked, Harry suddenly noticed someone approaching. Turning his head to look, "Terry?" Can I help you? ”
It was the Ravenclaw boy who had been involved in the Hogsmeade Village scuffle, Terry Bout.
"Huh?" Terry was an average-looking student with blonde hair. Hearing Harry's inquiry, he was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses, "Oh-it's okay, just wandering around." It's a little curious to see you all gathered here. Okay, let's talk, I'll go find firewood. ”
After saying that, he walked away quickly
"It feels like he's dazed," Ron said, staring at his back
"Are you mourning for it?" As soon as he sent Terry away, another voice came from behind him.
"Whew—I know," Hermione rolled her eyes in frustration
Turning around, it was the Malfoy trio.
"What are you doing here!" Ron said in disgust
"Watch your attitude, Weasley. I'm not here to argue with you," Malfoy glanced at him arrogantly
I saw him holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand and walking straight up to Harry.
Well? - Uh-huh?? This is!! Ivy's eyes popped out. No way~
Unexpectedly, Malfoy turned around and faced Buckbeak.
Huh——, Ivey was suddenly relieved. God knows how he almost said "Promise him!" "Shout it out.
"Today, it is with great sadness that I mourn this dying thing. Although you once deliberately attacked me, inflicting severe internal injuries on me, and almost ripped off my arm. But I'm not a grudge, and I never take it to heart, and I've almost forgotten about it. Malfoy muttered to himself
"Cut-" Ron scoffed, "less of this cat crying mouse"
"Weasley, do you know what it means to be the greatest? What is it like to be noisy at the memorial service. Malfoy looked at him contemptuously
"It's not dead yet!" Hermione snapped angrily
"Really!" Malfoy pretended to be surprised, "yes~ it's not dead yet"
"But it's okay," Malfoy sneered, "I don't mind sending my blessing in advance," he said, placing the flower on the ground, then turning to Crabbe and Goyle and yelling, "What about your etiquette!" Empty hands to mourn the dead! ”
"Oooh—" Crabbe and Goyle grabbed a handful of turf and stepped forward to stand side by side with Malfoy, piling the dirt in front of Buckbeak. Then the three of them bowed at the same time, "Go all the way"
"Bastard!" Ron's head was smoking
"Hehe~ I understand your feelings, Weasley. I don't blame you," Malfoy said, turning magnanimously, "then, please mourn—haha." ”
The three of them walked away on their toes
"I'm going to hit him" Harry said with a cold face, "Who agrees"
"I agree!" Ron responded immediately
"I'm against it!" Ivey said
"Ahh
"Thanks to Malfoy, I suddenly thought of a safer way to release them."
"Safe? Wouldn't it be okay to just let it go? ”
"Just let it go, and the Ministry of Magic may pursue Hagrid's passive resistance to the law, thinking that he did it on purpose." "But if we can get in front of so many students and let Buckbeak escape, no one will be able to say anything." ”
"There's nothing wrong with that, what to do," Hermione agreed, agreeing that way
"I have a good relationship with a Hippogriff, and I'll ask him to bring his kind over and make a bit of a commotion. Let it get Buckbeak out again. ”
"You mean Kim," Betty asked. The name was still given by Ivey casually
"Right"
"But wouldn't that hurt anyone else?" Harry was a little worried
"I'm here, and I can't hurt anyone."
"Do you need us to do anything?"
"Go play with salamanders. When Buckbeak was rescued, you tried to be with other people. ”
"Okay, now pretend to find firewood, and I'll go and prepare. Best, come"
When Best jumped on his shoulder, Ivey left. Entering the forest, he found a hidden position, summoned the Patronus, and flew directly to the hunting ground inside the Forbidden Forest.
"Uh-hh
Ivy handed over two cutlets, "There's something I want you to help with." Hagrid, you know, you have one of his kind trapped next to his hut, and you will take it away later. ”
“???” Xiao Jin's head tilted, and his eagle face was full of doubts.
"Forget it, listen to it," Ivy reached out and held Bester up in front of it
"Hmm-" Kim stared at Best, his massive head nodding.
"Very good" seems to be understood
"In a moment, you take them to find a few ferrets and chase them to Hagrid, and then pretend to chase the prey. When you get there, you can command Kim to take Buckbeak away. Got it? Then he instructed Best
"Meow~" Best's IQ goes without saying. Ivey even thought it was smarter than Ron.
"Well, send a signal to Betty when you're ready."
After the arrangement, Ivy quickly returned. Harry, they looked nervously at him when they saw him return. Wait for Ivey to give a few people an OK gesture before he can rest assured.
After three or four minutes, Betty said, "Okay."
"Well, just wait"
Here, the little wizards who were gathering around to observe the salamanders suddenly noticed that the flames began to tremble. Immediately afterward, a noisy and heavy running sound came from all directions, from far and near.
"What's it!" The students were slightly flustered and a little overwhelmed.
"Come here, get together," Hagrid received a hint from Ivey's eyes and stepped forward to steady the student.
"Rustle—" There was a rustling sound in the grass around them
"Whoosh-" Suddenly, a black ferret sprang out of the grass. A flash of black figure frightened some of the little wizards into screaming.
The ferret did not stop and went straight into the bushes on the opposite side.
But that's just the beginning. The first ferret sounded as if a signal, followed by seventeen or eighteen more from the grass in all directions.
However, the ferrets' efforts were of little avail, and there seemed to be enemies in any direction they fled. Gradually, the ferrets could only go back and forth in the middle of the field.
"What's chasing them?" Neville whispered
As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen eagle-headed horse-body winged beasts rushed out from all directions.
"Yo~ It's still a cross siege and killing array," Ivey praised
"They're not going to attack us, are they?" Ron began to show his acting skills
"Hehe~ Aren't you good friends, Weasley. Go up and say hello," Malfoy sneered
"Don't move, the Hippogriff is just preying, it won't hurt us." Hagrid warned
"It doesn't matter~ it's a big deal, add a few more companions to Buckbik," Malfoy said arrogantly
As the Hippogriff entered, the ferrets scattered in an instant. For a moment, chickens and dogs jumped in front of Hagrid's hut.
Coincidentally, a ferret fled to Buckbeak. Xiao Jin immediately chased after him.
When Buckbeak saw the ferret, he stood up. Leaning forward, his neck stretched out and the chains clicked.
But Kim took a step ahead of him and took the ferret into his mouth. But Xiao Jin's figure did not stop, rushing straight forward, cutting the iron chain with a sharp front grab. Then fly into the sky and chirp a few times, and fly into the distance.
Buckbeak rose into the sky and gradually disappeared from view. The students could only stare blankly at the scene.
Soon, the ferrets in the field died and fled, and the Hippogriffs quieted down.
"Don't move! I'm going to chase them away," Hagrid's voice carried a hint of joy
Unlike Hagrid, who was excited, Malfoy had a dead face.
"God doesn't seem to help you either, Malfoy." Ron smiled and said, "Why don't you take that bouquet of flowers back?" Maybe I'll use it at home in the future. ”
"Humph!" Malfoy's expression was like he had eaten two pounds of. didn't wait for the class to end, and left directly with Crabbe and Goyle.
....
"You didn't see Malfoy's face~" After class, Ron was still teasing, "I thought about it a few more times, and my Patronus Charm was released"
"Alright, don't be sassy."
Next up is the Defence Against the Dark Arts class. Professor Lupin didn't bring any new tricks to the lesson, but just reviewed the lessons he had taken before the holidays and caught a few fish that slipped through the net.
When it was over, several people stayed.
"Is there something wrong?" Lupin looked at them curiously
"Professor, I-" Harry was about to speak
"Oh-I remember Harry. But be prepared, how about Thursday night? Lupin was the first to speak
"Yes," Harry nodded, "but that's not what I'm talking about...."
"What's wrong? Slurred, what is directly said. Seeing his hesitation, Lupin smiled.
"Let's talk about it," Ivy took the initiative to stand up, "Professor Lupin, is your nickname Moonface?" ”
"Erin told you that? That's right, it's me," Lupin replied naturally. It's just a nickname, and he doesn't think much about it.
"Why do you call you Moon Face?"
"Does it matter?" Lupin replied
"Just wanted to be sure"
"You got it?" Lupin was not stupid and asked so directly.
"Professor, I actually guessed it when Professor Snape laid out that paper," Hermione said guiltily
"Clever girl," Lupin exclaimed, and then replied directly, "That's a good guess, I'm indeed a werewolf." ”
