When William received Hagrid's letter, the Easter holiday was coming to an end.

The letter appeared to be soaked in water, wet, with tears smeared in ink, making it hard to make out in some places.

Dear William:

we lose.

They allowed me to take it back to Hogwarts, the execution date to be decided.

Buckbeak likes London, likes the fog, it probably finds it mysterious.

To keep Buckbeak happy, I take it with me every morning to appreciate the mist.

But I was probably too sad. I went a few times and was so sad... I couldn't breathe.

Buckbeak should be very happy, he is gaining weight quickly.

I will not forget all the help you little guys have given us.

Hagrid.

William folded the letter, frowning. It was the first time he heard that he was so happy when he sucked the smog.

He handed the letter to Hermione, who, with just a quick glance, passed it on to Cho and Cedric.

The two got together and read it carefully. After Qiu read it, he seemed particularly angry.

Of course she was furious, a group of them had been busy for so long, frantically looking for cases in the library.

She had thought that, if not exempting Buckbeak, she would be imprisoned for a few years at most. But I didn't expect it to be a direct death sentence.

William was very flat.

He got Fudge's letter early, before the hearing even started.

Therefore, no matter how good Hagrid's performance is, he will not impress the members of the Committee on Disposal of Dangerous Organisms.

When a group of them left the castle and came to Hagrid's cottage, unexpectedly, Harry and Ron were already there.

Hagrid was sitting in the doorway, soaking wet, as if he had just sunk his head into the water tank.

"They can't do that," Harry said. "They can't, Buckbeak isn't dangerous at all."

"Yes, we can find some files." Ron agreed. "Hagrid, we can definitely save it..."

Hagrid had given up, and he was sitting on the dirt floor.

"It's all my fault, I can't speak.

They were all sitting there in black robes, and I kept losing my notes and was so nervous that I forgot all the dates that William and the others found out.

Although I can still appeal, I just don't see any hope... Nothing will change..."

"No! It will change," said Ron furiously, "this time we will help, we will prepare a defense for you and make a second appeal.

isn't it, Harry? "

"Yes, there must be a lot of cases in the library," Harry exclaimed. "We'll make it, we'll save Buckbeak."

Seeing William and the others coming, Ron quickly said: "You already know, right? Buckbeak was sentenced to death.

Everyone can help together. With so many of us, if we help Hagrid re-appeal, we will definitely win.

isn't it, Hermione? "

Cedric shook his head. "Ron, it's useless for you to do that."

"Why is it useless?" Harry retorted before Ron said anything.

He suddenly raised his voice and said forcefully, "How do you know it's useless if you don't do it?"

Cedric looked bewildered, he didn't know where he had offended Harry, what kind of fire he made for no reason.

Qiu raised her eyebrows, and she said coldly, "Harry, how do you know that Cedric didn't do it?"

"The letter from the Ministry of Magic is before Christmas," she said angrily, "then both of you knew about it.

We also told you to go to the library to collect cases, to help Hagrid write his defense.

After you have been here twice, where have you been? ! "

William looked sideways slightly, it was the first time he had seen Qiu so angry.

But he didn't stop Qiu, because what she said... was the truth.

Harry and Ron were only hot for about three minutes and said they wanted to help. After several visits, they never showed up in the library again.

Seems to have forgotten about Buckbeak and Hagrid.

Fortunately, they have a large group of people, and they are not so tired when they are looking for books in the library together.

Faced with Cho's accusations, Harry wanted to defend himself, but was speechless.

An uncomfortable feeling of guilt surged in him. Because he completely forgot about it at the time.

They had forgotten their promise to help prepare Buckbeak's defense.

The arrival of Firebolt, Black's illegal Animagus, William's belief that Peter is still alive... These things made him forget Hagrid completely.

Ron was also silent.

"Now that the hearing is over, he said something inexplicable!" Qiu said indifferently, as if to vent his dissatisfaction.

"Don't be so naive, okay? You think this is a school game, and Professor McGonagall will give you justice?"

"That's the Ministry of Magic! Would your incompetent fury, if useful, reverse the decision of the Committee on the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures?

Now I'm going to check those files... we've all ripped through it! I don't expect you to help, so don't make a mess, okay? "

Harry was speechless, watching Cedric grab Qiu's arm, making her say a few words less.

Hermione's lips twitched, as if she wanted to speak, and she seemed to want to shake her head.

William finally said: "Hagrid, don't worry. Buckbeak will be fine, I've talked to Dumbledore.

He'll keep Buckbeak safe. "

William did not mention Fudge, which was a private tacit agreement between him and the minister, which was illegal.

Hagrid has a big mouth and it's hard to keep secrets. William didn't want to end up being known to everyone.

Hearing him say that, Hagrid's eyes that were dehydrated only regained a hint of energy.

After a few people comforted Hagrid, they left together and walked back to the castle.

Because of Qiu, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was very awkward for a while.

As they approached the castle, they ran into Malfoy.

He walked with Crabbe and Goyle, showing off loudly:

"My dad says Buckbeak has been sentenced to death."

"You guys weren't at the hearing and didn't know what that stupid big guy looked like.

He was holding the thick parchment, and he couldn't read it well.

Weeping bitterly again, willing to exchange everything, and begging my father to let that beast go..."

Malfoy imitated Hagrid's voice, and several people laughed.

"That fool is still our teacher," Malfoy said triumphantly. "That's it? That's it?"

Several people glared at Malfoy.

Hermione moved faster, and she walked straight over, raising her arm.

Snapped!

She slapped Malfoy with all her might. Malfoy staggered two steps, and was beaten a bit stunned.

Everyone was stunned, Qiu was very excited, and seemed to want to follow Hermione up and kick.

Cedric quickly grabbed her, not to let her cause trouble.

At this moment, Hermione raised her hand again.

"How dare you say another word to Hagrid? You nasty... despicable fellow..."

She was so angry that she was ready to hit Malfoy again.

Goyle and Crabbe roared.

Hermione drew her wand immediately.

"Come on, I want to see the three of you, what are you capable of!"

The two did not dare to go, they remembered the conflict on the Quidditch pitch last year.

Hermione took down the entire Slytherin team by herself.

And Stark stood not far away, looking at them indifferently. As long as they dare to do it, they will definitely die ugly.

"I dare to hit me..." Malfoy said incoherently, covering his face.

This is the second time he has been slapped, the last time it was Anne Stark!

"I didn't hit you, I just slapped you in the face. That's to teach you, not to hit you!" Hermione's voice was cold.

"You...you...mud..."

Malfoy didn't dare to say the Mudblood, his lips were blue with anger, but his legs started to go weak, especially his voice was trembling.

He remembered William's warning last school year ~lightnovelpub.net~.

Hermione said impatiently, "Remember, if you want to fight, do it quickly.

Don't act like a sissy, wiggling around here! "

Malfoy stepped back.

Crabbe and Goyle looked at Malfoy, waiting for his orders. The two were completely at a loss.

"Come on...don't pay attention to these lunatics..." Malfoy muttered.

The three people immediately disappeared into the passage leading to the main building of the castle.

Cho whistled and applauded Hermione.

William and Cedric exchanged glances.

The girls at Hogwarts...are so fierce!
