Hogwarts: Capturing Nagini at the Beginning - Chapter 252

c252 Visiting the Half-Giant, Weird Bracelet

While they were having dinner with other students, Hermione ducked behind the staff table.

Her shining eyes were fixed on Professor Caredi Bubbaji (Muggle Studies teacher), and she spoke words of begging in a sweet tone.

Finally, Bubbaji nodded, and Hermione happily ran back to the Gryffindor table.

“It’s done. Around 7:30, Professor Bubaji will leave the castle and go to the north tower to help me find the ‘lost’ textbooks. I will return the textbooks to me during breakfast tomorrow.”

The four of them had dinner and walked around in the lounge. Then they yawned, indicating that they were sleepy and wanted to go back to the dormitory to sleep.

However, when they passed through the wooden door of the ‘lounge-dormitory’, they all ‘carelessly’ forgot to close it.

Fifteen minutes later, the portrait moved forward silently and was pushed back to its original position silently. The fat lady looked confused. She didn’t see anyone getting out of the portrait hole!

The four of them walked around the patrolling troll, walked to the stairs, tiptoed to the first floor, walked through the foyer, hid behind the door and waited.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the gray-haired Bubaji slowly walked to the entrance of the castle and pushed open the heavy oak door.

They slipped along the crack in the door and onto the platform at the top of the stone steps. Bubaji straightened his robes that were ruffled by the wind, walked down the stone steps and walked towards the north tower.

The four of them passed by the greenhouse, ran through the open-air corridor, passed through Stonehenge, and then went downhill to Hagrid’s courtyard.

The sun has set behind the woods next to the house, and the afterglow dyes the treetops golden yellow.

There was a wooden frame in the courtyard, with several polecat carcasses hung on it, and a pumpkin beside it.

The pumpkins produced were each as big as a carriage wheel, and Buckbeak was tied up in the pumpkin forest.

On its neck, in addition to the leather collar with an iron chain, there is also a magical metal collar set with brilliant gems. Once Buckbeak leaves Hogwarts, the collar will self-destruct.

The perception and insight of animals are stronger than that of ordinary people. Buckbeak turned his face to the four people, opened his beak and wanted to neigh.

“Shh, be quiet!”

Buckbeak heard a familiar voice and buried his head in the nest of his wings again.

Dong Dong~

Robin knocked on the wooden door, and after two minutes, Hagrid opened the door. His eyes were red and swollen, and his beard was shining, as if he had cried a lot.

“Who?” Hagrid asked.

“It’s me, Harry, we’re invisible.”

“Didn’t I say forget it, can you guys come in?”

After the four people entered the house, they spit out the invisibility beads and took off the invisibility cloak. Hagrid went to the fire to make tea for them.

Hagrid is absent-minded and always makes mistakes when doing things.

The tea bag was added to the marinade bag. When I was pouring the warm milk, it spilled all over the table. I went to grab a rag from the shelf. I shook my hand and grabbed the brown coat. I was startled for a moment and used the coat to wipe the milk stains directly.

“Hagrid, is this coat a new one you bought?” Ron said in surprise.

“We’ve already lost the lawsuit, so what’s the use of it!”

After Hagrid wiped the milk stain, he angrily threw his coat into the aluminum copper.

“The Forbidden Forest also belongs to Hogwarts. Why not take Buckbeak to the Forbidden Forest?” Luo Bin said.

“I have thought about this method, but if this is the case, things will become big.”

“The people from the Ministry of Magic and the school board were originally dissatisfied with my husband for preventing dementors from entering the school to search. I can’t cause any more trouble for my husband. In order to protect me, he went to great lengths to protect me, and also for Buckbeak.” He may say nice things, but he has no power over the people on the committee.”

“Last night, my husband came to the cabin to comfort me. He said that winning or losing the lawsuit was determined. No matter who the outcome was, he hoped that I would face it calmly.”

“Just now, before you came in, he asked Fawkes to send a note, saying that he would come to stay with me later and spend this difficult time with me. Dumbledore is such a great person!”

“Hagrid, why did you lose the case? Are the defense materials well prepared?” Hermione asked.

“It’s all Lucius’ fault.”

“The old antiques on the committee all obey his words, and Executioner McNeil is still his old friend.”

“You guys shouldn’t be here. If you are discovered, you will be in big trouble. Go back to the castle quickly and leave after drinking tea.”

“No, we’ll stay too and watch it with you.” Hermione said with tears in her eyes.

“No, how can I let you see the bloody scene? Oh, by the way, Ron, I have something to give to you.”

Hagrid walked to the cupboard, opened the lid of a milk can, and took out a gray mouse with a bald patch on its head.

“Banban, my Banban, I knew you were still alive.”

Ron took Scabbers and rubbed his cheek against the mouse fur lovingly.

“Watch your pet and don’t let it run around anymore,” Hagrid reminded kindly.

“Yes, I will, Scabbers, don’t move, there is no cat here, and there is no Sirius Black.”

After hearing this, Scabbers twisted even harder, even baring his yellow teeth and trying to bite Ron’s finger.

“Ron”

Harry stepped forward and wanted to help Ron. At this moment, the clay pot on the low table broke into several pieces with a bang, and the grain inside spilled all over the table.

Scabbers squeaked in fright and twisted around. Harry held its tail and hind paws, and Ron held its neck, so that it could escape without falling to the ground.

Hermione pulled the grain on the table and pulled out a wet stone snail shell that obviously shouldn’t be in the grain pile. She raised her head and looked out the window in confusion.

Boom~

A hard, cold object hit Luo Bin on the back of the head.

“hiss!”

“hiss!”

Luo Bin rubbed the back of his head and bent down to pick up the items that ‘sneak attack’ him.

It was an iron-green bracelet with a porcupine-like inner side covered with spikes and some grooves engraved on the outer side. The grooves were filled with sparkling, flowable golden liquid.

He turned and looked out the window. He didn’t see anyone hiding in the pumpkin patch or the woods behind it, but he saw Cornelius Fudge and his party walking downhill toward the cabin.

“They are coming.” Luo Bin reminded.

“Let’s go! You shouldn’t be here at this time. Leave now. If someone finds out, you will be in big trouble, especially you, Harry.”

Hagrid anxiously pushed several people towards the back door.

“No, I want to stay with you,” Hermione said.

“We will testify to the truth and let Minister Fudge know the inside story of the verdict.” Harry said.

“Look! Banban is struggling, and he doesn’t want to leave.”

Robin pulled his wand halfway out, then pressed it back down because Hagrid was furious.

“That’s enough! I’m annoyed enough. I don’t want to have to deal with you anymore. Get out of here!”

Dong Dong~

“Hagrid~”

Fudge’s shrill voice sounded outside the front door.

“Come right away~”

Hagrid opened his arms wide and pushed the four of them to the back door.

The few people had no choice. Robin and Hermione held the invisibility beads in their mouths, while Harry and Ron squeezed into the invisibility cloak and walked out of the back door.

Zhiqua~

The back door was closed and bolted.

They stood on the stone platform in front of the door and saw Hagrid opening the front door, greeting Fudge and others, and inviting a few people into the house for tea.

“Come on, come on, I don’t want to hear them talking about how to kill Buckbeak!”

Hermione was flustered when she heard someone reading the verdict in the room.

“good!”

Robin fumbled to the left a few times and grabbed Hermione’s hand.
