Chapter 127: The Scapegoat

"Very nice, Harry! You've made so much progress in just one day! Lupin patted Harry on the shoulder in surprise.

On the second day of the holiday, Harry's Patronus Charm turned into a thick silvery mist, completely suppressing the Dementor Boggart had become.

"What do you have in mind?"

Harry smiled and scratched his head, "A dream, or a belief. ”

"My parents protected me with their lives, and I am the continuation of their lives, so I can't be intimidated by the Dementors."

"I will get married and have children in the future, and live happily ever after. That's what they deserve. ”

Lupin wiped the corners of his eyes: "It's love and sacrifice that give you the courage to fight the Dementors, right?" ”

Harry smiled and nodded.

From that day on, something seemed to have changed in Harry's body, and no one could say what it was, but everyone really felt it.

For most students, school life has finally calmed down this year. But Kano was still a toil.

In mid-April, Hagrid broke into the library, grabbed Kano and left.

"How... Well, let's go out and talk about it. ”

Mrs. Pince's wands were raised, ready to silence the two of them by "magic".

"They're going to kill Buckbeak! The trial will be held at the end of the month. ”

Kano is full of question marks, when has this been, Fudge is so idle?

"Is there an official notice? Buckbeak is the property of the school, not to mention the Hippogriff, even if it is a leper dog, it is not something that his Ministry of Magic wants to kill. ”

"yes, that's what Harry told me, that's what I only know about you in the school board, that's why I came to you." Hagrid's face was covered in sweat, and Kano had to cast a spell to cool his head.

"Phew, thanks, that's so much better." Hagrid patted the ice ballast on his beard, "It's going to be executed at the beginning of June, and there are only two months left. Please, the school director, I'll have to go back and find a way now, even if it's for Hermione to flip through the books?" ”

Kano thought that Hagrid would be doing a great favor if he didn't add to the chaos, and Hermione should be flipping through the existing precedents by now.

After all, the British Ministry of Magic also uses case law, and if the basic circumstances of a case are similar to existing precedents, then the verdict must be based on the results of the precedent.

But Hermione's gaze was still a little more rigid, and Kano turned his head, and probably understood the cause of the incident.

"Leave the trial alone, Buckbeak will definitely be convicted, but it can not die." Kano speaks to the trio and Hagrid in Hagrid's hut.

"What do you mean?" Hermione, who threw down the book, put her head in her hands, "You're confusing me." ”

"First of all, who is going to kill Buckbeak?"

"It was Lucius who pushed this forward." Harry replied, "In the last semester." ”

"Yes, last semester, when this matter was at its hottest, it was pushed back by the school board, why is the old thing being brought up again?" Kano prompted.

"I see!" Ron's eyes lit up, "It's Fudge, he wants to please Lucius!" ”

Carno gave a thumbs up: "You always understand this kind of twist and turn the fastest!" Fudge needs money now, and even more so political allies. ”

"So, killing Buckbeak is just a gesture from Fudge to Lucius. For your sake, I'm willing to stand up to the Hogwarts Board of Governors! I am your loyal friend. In fact, no one really cares whether Buckbeak lives or dies. Hermione understood, but Harry was still confused.

"Then I'll let it go now." Hagrid stood up and was excited to go out.

"Not right now." Kano amusedly stopped Hagrid, "You must at least let the executioners sent by the Ministry of Magic see it, otherwise the Ministry of Magic will lose face." ”

"You can secretly let Buckbeak go before the execution, and no one will seriously look for it." "Lucius and Fudge have face, and naturally everything will be calm." ”

Only then did the trio relax.

A few days later, the school trustees, after a meeting, decided not to hardtop themselves with the Ministry of Magic.

Of course, Kano left the operation to the trio, and he asked the Centaur tribe to take care of Buckbeak, so that Hagrid could go to the Forbidden Forest to play with him if he was fine.

According to the grapevine that Kano got from "someone", although Buckbeak didn't make it, Lucius and Fudge's relationship did pull in a lot because of it.

As soon as he had dealt with the matter, Dumbledore asked him to go for the night again, and the Horcrux crown was taken care of.

It's still the same container, it's still the old and the young. Dumbledore opened the silver chest, and a mysterious blue mist poured out.

Several Ravenclaw-born headmasters hanging on the walls looked over and couldn't help but wail.

Ravenclaw's tiara was infused with a great deal of magic and was restored to its former glory.

But the dense cracks on it still remind everyone that it is already a Horcrux that is about to be destroyed.

As Dumbledore made his final move, the crown made a small shattering sound, and the pieces fell to the bottom of the chest.

A fragment of a soul wrapped in a ball of light appeared in front of everyone.

The surface of the orb is still ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, and the soul fragment inside is Voldemort's coiled intestines.

"Again, the diary contains the brain, and the crown contains the intestines. Completely counterintuitive. Kano pinched his eyebrows with a little headache, "I seem to think of something, but I can't say it for a while." ”

"By the way, what is the hieroglyphs used for here?" Kano asked, looking at Dumbledore.

"I don't know, maybe it's the same as the runes in the diary, both of which are used to control the basilisk?" Dumbledore guessed.

"Egyptian hieroglyphs are already a dead script, because there have been years of war, and too much information has disappeared. Wizards studied it worse than even Muggles. Dumbledore touched his beard helplessly, "I can only speculate." ”

Kano always felt that something was wrong.

"Don't worry too much, we have destroyed another Horcrux, we should be happy." Dumbledore patted Carno on the shoulder, "Let's go to the old Gaunt mansion together on vacation, there should be another Horcrux from Voldemort hidden." ”

"Don't worry!" Kano hurriedly stopped.

If Voldemort's Horcruxes and storage location have not changed this time, then what is stored in Gaunt's old mansion is a ring inlaid with resurrection stones.

This thing is too lethal for an elderly man full of remorse in his heart, and Carno has no confidence to stop Dumbledore from having an emotional breakdown.

If he insisted on wearing the ring on his hand, wouldn't he have died two years early?

"I've found another Horcrux, I'll give it to you in two days, don't go to the Gaunt Mansion until you get it dealt with!"

Dumbledore looked at Kano suspiciously, thinking of Merlin's comments and Kano's performance in the past two years, he nodded in agreement.

"Well, if you insist."
