Chapter 163 Execution and Tick
Rufus Scrimgeour was in a hurry, and he sent additional dementors to Hogwarts.
During his tenure, he vowed to let go of his rhetoric, and now almost a semester has passed, and there has been no trace of Sirius.
There are even a dozen Dementors missing because of Sirius Black.
The Ministry of Magic has no face left, and now the only way to get rid of the word 'temporary' to save the Ministry of Magic's face is to catch Sirius.
John met the black-faced Rufus Scrimgeour in the castle, presumably he was in a bad mood.
Scrimgeour arrived, surrounded by witnesses and executioners from the Dangerous Animals Committee.
A magical animal, please the Minister of Magic.
If it was Fudge, it would be excusable.
But Scrimgeour was born as an Auror, and he is also a person with a tough attitude.
It shouldn't be his turn for such a trivial matter, he came here with a plan.
"I feel that Johnny's Silver Hand is unreliable, so I want to change a backer?"
Squinting his eyes, John watched Scrimgeour go to the principal's office. It seemed that he had something to discuss.
It's a pity that if you become the Minister of Magic, you may still have the right to speak.
The current Scrimgeour is only a temporary minister, and his character has not yet pleased Dumbledore.
"Sunset execution? Buckbeak became a victim of the game."
Thinking of Hagrid's letter to himself, John felt sorry for Hagrid.
"Wait and comfort yourself."
John sighed and went to the secret room of the Society of Stars.
It will be a holiday soon, and some things in the secret room still need to be dealt with.
Arriving on the fourth floor, John took a look at the magic he had left behind. Besides the members of the Star Club, there were other people entering.
But the other party couldn't see the mystery on the wooden door, so John didn't care about it for the time being.
Open the door and enter, the Firebolt has been maintained and returned to its original place.
Knowing without thinking that Malfoy did it, John opened the secret passage of the arsenal.
Walking into the armory, John raised his hand to summon the sword of Silver Wick.
There was an extra crack in the super magic crystal, and John finished the last bit with a glance at the new shoes on the table.
Putting his shoes back on, he looked at the Ring of Spells again.
The ring on the right hand was already as black as ink, and the gem had completely turned black, like an abyss.
"The Soul Devouring Curse cannot be used too much."
After looking at it for a while, John noticed a very small crack.
A ring is not a powerful container after all, even if the magic power crystal carries too much magic power, it will break, let alone this ring.
Put the heart of silence and the ring of spells made during this period into a small bag, these things are not sold casually in the Johnny Silver Hands store.
They cherry pick customers and only after they are verified can they buy.
Of course, some dark wizards can also buy it. How can it be called Knockturn Alley without the gray industry?
But the price is not so beautiful.
After putting the two things in, even the small bag weighed a lot.
The small bag uses the No Trace Stretching Charm, which does not mean that the weight of the items inside will disappear.
This Nicole Flamel alchemy product also uses a floating charm on the small bag, which keeps it light at all times.
It seemed to have been intended for Madame LeMay, but it was given to John as a gift when the couple were leaving this world.
Put all the things in, and there are ten magic crystals produced.
The Chamber of Secrets produced five, and John made five himself.
The things were packed, and John rarely went to dinner on time.
As soon as he entered, John saw that Malfoy, who had finished the exam, was talking nonsense, something relaxed and so on.
It creates an illusion that you can do it with your hands.
John watched him finish his meal, sat down and watched him pretend silently.
Perhaps the look in the eyes of the fool was too direct, so Malfoy sat down with a dry smile.
As soon as his butt touched the stool, John said, "Your training task is over?"
Malfoy's expression was blank, as if he didn't expect that he would have to practice for the final exam.
Meeting John's eyes, he was shocked and said quickly, "I'll go right away!"
After all, he ran out.
Goyle and Crabbe hurriedly stuffed two bites of bread into their mouths, and followed Malfoy out.
Daphne didn't expect John to eat on time, and he didn't even prepare his own dishes.
Seeing that she was about to go over and show her skills, John was so frightened that he hurriedly stuffed the bread into his mouth, saying that he was full.
He saw that the three little ones had also finished eating, and the three of them had worried expressions on their faces, talking about Hagrid and going out.
John was also going there, but none of the three noticed that John was behind him.
John paused as he passed a broom cupboard.
"Which couple is so blatant?"
Looking at the cabinet with a strange expression, he muttered, "Dating before it's evening, in this kind of place?"
Shaking his head, he continued to leave.
Shortly after John left, two heavy sighs of relief came from the cabinet.
A boy's voice came out with surprise: "Did he see us?"
The other voice was a girl, and said uncertainly, "Probably not, after all, we just passed the front."
...
John saw Interim Minister of Magic Rufus Scrimgeour walking down the stairs with a grim expression, followed by two members of the Dangerous Animals Committee.
John was delayed a bit because of this incident.
When he arrived outside Hagrid's hut, he saw Buckbeak who was placed in the pumpkin patch by Hagrid.
"It seems that Harry and the others are comforting Hagrid."
Hearing the sound of jars breaking from inside, Hagrid thought he was in a bad mood.
Looking at Buckbeak, John remembered that he hadn't ridden it yet.
Walking in front of him, he bowed and saluted, and Buckbeak, who was tied to a stake, returned the salute as well.
John went up to touch its feathers, he could take Buckbeak away now, but that would implicate Hagrid.
"Go in peace."
Whispering next to Buckbeak's head, John's eyes were slightly cold, and he said, "The broken pieces are about to be removed."
Patting Buckbeak on the head, John turned and left.
He didn't go in, he wasn't of much help in this matter, and he didn't want to face Hagrid very much.
Just as he turned around, John stopped again.
With some confusion on his face, he turned to look at the woods behind the pumpkin patch.
The forest was quiet, but John seemed to see something vaguely.
To confirm, John's eyes contracted into vertical pupils.
The things in the woods seemed to be startled, and hurriedly hid.
Brows furrowed, John stared in that direction, wondering if he should check it out.
tick tick...
In a quiet atmosphere, John heard voices.
Taking out the golden pocket watch from his pocket, John checked the time and then looked up at the sun.
The sun was setting over the Forbidden Forest, and a group of people appeared in the direction of the castle.
It was the people from the Dangerous Animals Committee and Rufus Scrimgeour, and Dumbledore.
With this luxurious lineup, John didn't think he could hide the truth from Dumbledore.
He had to give up and run in another direction.
Not long after he left, in Hagrid's hut, the three little ones hurried out through the back door wearing the cloak of invisibility.
After they all left, there was a sound of panting in the woods behind the pumpkin patch.
"Hell, why does John seem to be able to see us every time?"
The voice sounded, and the afterglow of the setting sun passed through the forest, and two familiar faces appeared there.
It was Harry and Hermione who had left earlier.
At this time, there were hemostatic stickers on the faces of the two of them. Harry didn't expect that besides his own party, John would also want to save Buckbeak.
Hermione next to her had frighteningly bright eyes, and on her slender neck was a small sparkling hourglass hung on a gold chain.
She seemed to think of something, lowered her voice and said, "Do you remember what Professor Dumbledore said?"
Harry was taken aback, what did Dumbledore say?
Seeing that he was puzzled, Hermione looked like an old mother who was angry and indisputable, and recalled for him: "If everything goes well, you can save more than one innocent life tonight. If you encounter obstacles, you might as well seek help."
She took a deep breath and said, "We need help, Harry."
At the same time, in Hagrid's hut, Buckbeak's death sentence was being read out.
"The Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Animals has ruled that Buckbeak the Hippogriff, hereinafter called the Sin Beast, will be executed at sunset, June 6th..."
"...sentenced to be beheaded, to be executed by Walton McNeil, the executioner appointed by the Members' Association..."
Scrimgeour had a gloomy face, but Dumbledore was very enthusiastic, pulling him as if he wasn't the one who rejected him in the headmaster's office earlier.
At the time of sentencing, they did not notice.
A figure sneaked into the pumpkin patch from the woods. Buckbeak bowed after seeing the person coming, and bowed back in return.
Buckbeak: This man has bowed, he can!
Harry: "Buckbeak, let's go!"
