LRAB Chapter 134 Be Careful
Chapter 134 Be Careful
The Minister of Magic will come to Hogwarts in person with the order.
certainly!Since there are normal teaching courses in the school, it is inconvenient for Dumbledore to accompany the Minister of Magic during the class period, so the execution time of this order is set before dinner, so that after executing Barcobeak, the Minister of Magic and the executioner can still Able to stay for dinner.
Of course, these reasons are all lies. If the execution order was carried out during school hours, wouldn't Harry Potter have no chance to participate?By the time he arrives after class, everything will be over, and Baccopiak will surely fall to the ground.
When Harry, Hermione, and Ron walked through the familiar back courtyard of Hogwarts, they saw an executioner wearing a hooded mask, polishing a huge ax with a whetstone.
The executioner opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of rotten teeth, and smiled at the three children passing by.
Speaking of the position of executioner in the Ministry of Magic, it is actually a well-paid position, because the Ministry of Magic stipulates that all those who are executed will own everything they have.
In a wizarding world that regards Avada Kedavra as an unforgivable curse, the position of executioner, who carries out executions, is also regarded as an evil existence. This is why no one is willing to hold this position, and as a wizard Government departments in the world must set up such positions. Wizards can be imprisoned in Azkaban, but magical animals or other races will not be imprisoned in this way. Serious crimes will be executed as usual.
Theoretically, although the executioner can obtain the property of the wizard by executing the wizard, the executioner never has this opportunity. The executions are basically magical animals or criminals of other races.
However, whether it is the damned condemned prisoner or the wrongfully convicted Buckbeak, they all have one life after all, and the executioner's job is to take away the other person's life.
Therefore, this is an extremely damaging thing, so not everyone is willing to do this seemingly lucrative job.
Executioner Walton McNeil is actually a Death Eater. He is responsible for killing magical creatures who have committed crimes at the Ministry of Magic. His identity as a Death Eater will not be revealed until the Goblet of Fire next year.
He would fight in the Department of Mysteries, where he would be defeated by Dumbledore's Army and imprisoned in Azkaban.Later released from Azkaban after Voldemort came to power, during the final battle at Hogwarts, McNeil would be thrown from one end of the Hogwarts hall to the other by Hagrid and hit the wall. After the battle, he was imprisoned in Azkaban along with most of the other surviving Death Eaters. He was considered a die-hard who was in and out of several times.
However, in Qin Ziyun's opinion, this person still had some use before his identity was revealed.
He has executed those magical animals all year round, and he has a large number of corpses of magical animals, which are very useful magic materials.
But when it comes to business, wait until the other party has finished the work.
The trio went to Hagrid's hut and met Malfoy and his two followers who came to watch the joke. After a small conflict, Hermione drove the three of them away.
Arriving at Hagrid's hut, the painful Hagrid was waiting for the arrival of the Minister of Magic. Outside, in the pumpkin field, Bakobik was lying there resigned to his fate.
Hagrid's room was still so messy. At this time, there was another creature of unknown species. It was waving its tentacles and trying to crawl out of the eggshell, but Hagrid covered it with a dirty tablecloth. Back home, it was obvious that even if one Barcopiak died, Hagrid would still have no shortage of new pets.
The three children discussed some problems with Hagrid, but there was no way to solve these problems, even as smart as Miss Hermione, so everyone could only run around anxiously.
The only good news is that Ron found his pet mouse. He originally thought that Scabbers was eaten by Hermione's cat!
Suddenly, a small stone flew from the window and hit Harry on the head.
Immediately, Ron was also hit in the head, and the two boys screamed indiscriminately.
Hermione picked up the pebbles and found that they were snail shells from Hagrid's pumpkin patch, a small thing with a very hard shell.
Looking up out of the window, he saw Dumbledore walking with Cornelius Fudge and the executioner.
"The principal and the others are here, what should we do?"
The three children have never figured out a way to rescue Barcopiak, and now it seems that Barcopiak's end is doomed.
"You can't stay here, leave through the other door."
Hagrid didn't want Dumbledore and the Minister of Magic to see these children. After all, the execution scene was not something children should see.
In this way, the three children avoided Dumbledore and left Hagrid's hut.
Harry and Ron held the swollen bumps on their heads, endured the pain and ran around the pumpkin patch into the distance.
From a long distance away, after a while, I saw Hagrid leading the three of them to the pumpkin field. The executioner looked left and right for a while, then swung the oversized ax and chopped them down with one blow.
The big ax fell, crows screamed and flew, and the scene was very bloody and violent.
"No!"
Seeing the scene of Barcobrick being executed, Hermione suddenly collapsed. Qin Ziyun promised her that he would help, but now this innocent animal was still executed. Hermione felt that she had been cheated and must ask clear.
So, Hermione turned and ran away, leaving the two boys hugging each other for comfort.
Banban suddenly bit Ron's hand.
"Ah! Why did you bite me, Banban? Don't run! Come back quickly."
The mouse Scabbers ran all the way, Ron was chasing after him, and Hermione on the other side had also run away. This made Harry Potter not sure which one to chase. Thinking about the conflict between Ron and Hermione, Harry or Hermione I think it would be better to help Ron find Scabbers first.
With just such a hesitation, Harry was dozens of seconds away from Ron.
"I finally caught you, Banban, why did you bite me and why did you run away?"
Ron held on to Scabbers tightly this time and would not let him have a chance to escape again.
"Oh! Not good."
Harry looked at the willow tree behind Ron. It was the Whomping Willow that they hit with their car when school started this year!I don't know if a willow tree will hold a grudge, but it obviously doesn't have a good impression of any creature that breaks into the attack range, because the willow branches are already starting to swing.
"Run, Ron! Behind you is the Whomping Willow!"
"Harry, run! That's a dog spirit behind you!"
While Harry shouted loudly, Ron also looked behind Harry Potter with a horrified look on his face. With one hand he grabbed Scabbers who was trying to escape, and with the other hand he pointed tremblingly behind Harry Potter.
A solid black dog with a strong build, but now looking like a lost dog, was roaring in the direction of the two of them.
Harry was frightened. This was because during the Quidditch match that day, he first saw a black dog's head transforming from the clouds, and then he was attacked by a dementor. Today, he directly saw a big black dog, and neither did he. Know what comes next.
The big dog accelerated and rushed over, leaping high and jumping over Harry Potter. In the blink of an eye, it came to Ron's side, bit the boy's foot, and dragged him towards the Whomping Willow.
"Ahhhhh...Harry!"
"Squeak creak..."
Ron was hurt by the bite, and Scabbers was hurt by the scratch. The screams of the pet and its owner just disappeared into the cave under the Whomping Willow.
"What should I do!" Harry tried his best but failed to catch Ron. At this time, he was standing in front of the cave, blaming himself and worrying.It has to be said that Harry made a wrong choice and stood in the wrong position.
"Whoops!" A wicker branch as thick as a human leg from the Whomping Willow swept over, and Harry was immediately whipped out.
"Qin, you said you would help, why didn't you keep your promise?"
Before Hermione returned to Hogwarts, she met the person she wanted to see on the way here.
"Well, do you really have no confidence in me?"
Qin Ziyun hugged Hermione. After all, he had arranged for Hermione to do everything during this period. Just like the original work, when the three of them were together, Hermione's emotions could easily be affected. The influence once again changed from the calm and intelligent Ravenclaw to the impulsive and brave Gryffindor.
Hermione didn't want Qin Ziyun to hold her in her arms at this time. After twisting and beating, she couldn't break free.
"Barcopiak is dead, and I saw the executioner carry out the execution."
Hermione leaned against Qin Ziyun's heart with tears in her eyes and cried.
"You are a gryphon! While you have the brave heart of a lion, you also have the mind of an eagle!"
Qin Ziyun let go of Hermione, took out his handkerchief and wiped away the little Loli's tears.
"Did you confirm that you saw Bakobik being executed with your own eyes?"
After calming down, Hermione immediately resumed her Ravenclaw thoughts.
yes!He only saw the executioner executing the execution, and when the big ax fell, he thought that Bakobik had already been executed.
But the problem is that I didn't see the head of Bakobik with my own eyes... No!It's the bird's head falling to the ground!
Hermione immediately understood what Qin Ziyun meant, her face turned red and she stopped crying.
"Let's go rescue Bakobik now!"
"Don't rush. A lot of things will happen today. We can solve them together later. Pay attention! Stay calm and analyze when encountering problems."
Qin Ziyun pointed in a direction, where he could see the Whomping Willow waving its branches in the distance.
"There is a hole under the Whomping Willow. You can reach the Shrieking Shack through the hole. I think with your skills, it won't be a problem to bring another person with you!"
At this time, Hermione had already shown a confident smile, and Qin Ziyun's reminder was enough for Hermione.
"When I come back, we can live this day over again."
Hermione smiled and kissed him deeply.
When Hermione came to the Whomping Willow, Harry was being beaten by the Whomping Willow. His glasses had already been knocked off, and he didn't know how many times he had been slapped on his body. If he hadn't been in a blur of vision, he would have been beaten by the Whomping Willow. Dodging most of the blows, Harry was killed.
"Glasses! Glasses! My glasses!"
During the break between the Whomping Willow's attacks, Harry searched hard for his glasses. After all, without them he could only see blurry visions.
"Armor protection!"
Hermione cast a timely spell on Harry's body, and his heavy riding plate armor allowed Harry to avoid a headbutt from the Whomping Willow, but even so, Harry still felt as if he had been hit by a car.
"Flying flocks of birds!"
Hermione waved her wand, and a group of magically transformed birds surrounded the Whomping Willow, and the magical plant was immediately diverted from its attention.
"Harry, where's Ron?"
Hermione dragged Harry up who had found the glasses. She herself was blushing. She didn't know whether it was because she ran away just now or because of other excitement.
"Ron was dragged into a hole by the dogs."
"Then what are we waiting for? Come down quickly, all the birds will be killed."
When the two men raised their heads, there were only a few magical birds summoned by the 'Flock of Birds'.
Hermione kicked the dazed Harry into the hole, and jumped in before the Whomping Willow was about to attack her.
Fortunately, there was a lot of fallen leaves at the bottom of the hole, and Harry felt that this was at least much better than before.
All right!Retract the preface.
"Ah! I'm sorry, Harry."
Hermione didn't want to have too much physical contact with other men, so she quickly got up and stepped aside.
"It's okay! I'm fine. At least I can survive the attack of the Whomping Willow. This doesn't matter."
Harry braced his injured body and stood up.
"I'll do it! Clean it up! Repair it as before! Restore it quickly!"
With a wave of her wand, Hermione sorted the two of them out, repaired Harry's glasses again, and restored some of his injuries.
However, the recovery spell of the wand is temporary. If the magic power disappears, the injury will explode, so you still need to take care of yourself afterwards.
After passing a long underground passage, Harry and Hermione came to a dangerous house. The surrounding walls made a "clucking" sound, as if they would decompose themselves at any time, and the house was still swaying in the wind.
"I thought we had arrived at the Shrieking Shack. It is impossible to enter the Shrieking Shack in Hogsmeade Village. Unexpectedly, the real entrance is under the Whomping Willow in Hogward."
Hermione had regained her Ravenclaw wisdom at this time and rationally analyzed the secret of the Shrieking Shack.
Since no one has entered for a long time, a thick layer of ash has accumulated on the ground here, covering everything like snow.
On the surface of the clear mark on the ground, a four-legged animal dragged something upstairs.
"This is Ron, he was dragged in by a black dog."
Harry immediately thought of the answer and led Hermione up the stairs following the mark.
"Harry! Be careful, this is a trap, that black dog is an Animagus, he is that dog."
As soon as Harry and Hermione arrived upstairs, they saw Ron huddled in the corner, holding the mouse Scabbers tightly in his hand.
The thick white dust on the floor recorded all the visitors who entered. Next to the traces of Ron being dragged, the big dog's footprints extended all the way to the back of the open door.
