Chapter 124 Changing Names
Chapter 124 Changing Names
Draco watched the headmaster walk out of the office in confusion.
Following beside him, I wondered what Dumbledore was trying to say.
Dumbledore paused before the spiral staircase leading to the Great Hall.
"The moon is very round tonight."
"If you wait for a while in a place where there is no candlelight to disturb you, you may be able to enjoy the night scenery quietly."
"Do you agree?"
The shrewd eyes behind the half-moon glasses blinked at him twice.
Walking downstairs, he spoke to himself before his figure disappeared.
"Do you know what the most painful thing about being the headmaster of Hogwarts is?"
"Unless there is an emergency, you cannot miss the dinner."
"If I were you, I wouldn't want to eat dinner tonight—"
"I heard there's a lot of hummus."
Draco stood there in a daze, not quite understanding why Dumbledore had gone to so much trouble to ask him to come here.
Some began to believe his father and Severus' complaints, that Dumbledore might be almost crazy.
-
We quickly left the castle through the secret path.
I came to the cabin, walked around it, and saw the figure of a winged beast by the pumpkin field.
I stepped forward resolutely, feeling somewhat uneasy.
But he still had to lower himself and bow deeply to the winged beast.
Fortunately, after a while, the winged beast also lowered its head and acknowledged him.
He walked forward and gently stroked the soft feathers on the winged beast's neck, feeling its dependence on him.
You wouldn’t know unless you got such close contact with them, but winged beasts are actually quite cute.
I couldn't help but speak out to comfort her.
"Wait a moment, not yet. Buckbeak."
He placed his forehead lightly against the winged beast's cheek, hoping to convey a feeling of reassurance to it.
Hearing the sound of the front door of the cabin opening, Draco quickly hid in the pumpkin patch.
Fortunately, the crops that the half-giants take care of seem to be proportional to their size.
The pumpkins, as big as carriages, completely obscured Draco's figure.
From the voices coming out of the cabin, one could vaguely guess that Harry and the other two had put on invisibility cloaks and entered the cabin.
The sound of cups and bowls breaking was heard continuously, and it was obvious that someone's shaking hands could not hold the cutlery.
Suddenly, Granger's scream came from the cabin, making Draco nervous.
"Oh my god! I can't believe it! It's Scabbers!"
I seem to have heard Harry mention that this was the name of Weasley's rat.
Remember Harry said they found rat blood and cat hair in the dormitory.
So it's not dead?
Was it because he was lucky enough to be injured but escape, or was there some other possibility?
While I was feeling confused, I heard the sound of cups and plates breaking and the scream of a half-giant.
"They are coming..."
Leaning my head out, I could see a group of men coming towards the cabin from afar.
When exactly are Granger and the others going to leave the cabin?
As the critical moment approached, Draco began to feel anxious.
I heard footsteps approaching and the sound of a wooden door opening.
I took out my small mirror and looked at the pumpkin field from the side.
Seeing Dumbledore, Fudge and the half-giants coming towards him, he quickly hid on the spot.
Obviously, he was here to confirm before the execution.
I was a little worried at first that this group of people would directly announce the death penalty here and execute the person on the spot.
Fortunately, the next voice I heard was Dumbledore's.
"After confirming, let's go in and have some tea first."
"The execution time has not yet arrived. Patience is a virtue. Right?"
I always felt that Dumbledore was talking to me.
I listened to their footsteps fading away, and when the sound of the wooden door rang again, I took out a mirror to confirm that there was no one around.
He rushed out and untied the ropes that tied Buckbeak to the fence, feeling very angry.
Where on earth had Granger gone?
It's them who have the invisibility cloak, why am I the one taking the risk here?
-
After some effort, Buckbeak was brought into the forest.
Although I never thought that I would step into the forbidden forest for three consecutive years,
But thinking that releasing it in the forest might attract less attention, I had no choice but to grit my teeth.
She thought it was a good thing that Buckbeak was with her, and at the same time she resented Hermione and Harry even more.
Coming to an open space not far from the Mixed Willow, thinking about the Mixed Willow's regional attack,
This is one of the few places in the forest where the branches are sparse and will not hinder the winged beasts from taking off.
Just as he was about to untie the long rope on Buckbeak, he looked up at the moonlight and remembered what Dumbledore said.
Could it be that he was waiting here for something?
Watching carefully, Hunpin Liu was stretching himself lazily, as if he had just experienced some strenuous exercise.
Then, I vaguely felt something moving behind me.
The moonlight shines, and dark shadows are everywhere.
Thinking of myself now, I am alone in the forbidden forest.
Feeling a little scared, he gently hugged Buckbeak, hoping to gain courage.
Suddenly, two unknown hands climbed up on my shoulders.
He was almost frightened and fell on Buckbeak again, but fortunately his experience in the Shrieking Shack gave him some resistance.
He turned around and fumbled around, and when he touched the familiar cloth, he tore it off.
Harry and Hermione appeared in front of them with smiling faces.
Although they were smiling, one could still tell that they were nervous.
Looking more closely, he discovered that the two men had messy hair, dirty faces, and torn robes.
Looking at this scene, Draco couldn't help feeling a little confused.
Hermione pointed to the time-turner on her chest and explained hastily:
"Dumbledore made us use a Time-Turner."
After hearing this, Draco's eyes widened in surprise, and he suddenly realized.
"So... now you are in—"
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted hastily by Hermione.
"We are all in the Shrieking Shack at this time."
"Pediluru is still alive. Black will be captured. We have to save him."
Harry continued to explain.
"I wanted to help save Buckbeak, but found that it was no longer there."
Hermione kept saying it must have been you who did it, and she was worried that if you let Buckbeak go, we would be unable to save Sirius."
Only then did he instantly understand that Dumbledore was hinting that he should wait.
At the same moment, I noticed Harry calling Padfoot—
It was no longer Black, but Sirius.
Before he could even open his mouth to ask what was going on, he was shocked by Harry's words.
"Draco, I saw my parents, by the Black Lake."
