Chapter 244 Saving Buckbeak (Please subscribe, vote, and recommend)
When Ryan passed through a series of obstacles and came to the place where he could see Hagrid's hut, he found it was quiet. Only Hagrid and Buckbeak could be seen from the window. It seemed that they came too early this time. The people from the Ministry of Magic were probably still eating in the hall. After all, one of the wizards was very old, so it was normal for him to dawdle a little while before eating.

Wolfe suggested that we go and save the poor animal now after we tell everyone about this situation.

"No." Ryan waved his hand. "If we break in now, let alone how to explain this to Hagrid, the people on the committee will think that Hagrid released it! So we have to wait until they confirm that the Hippogriff is tied outside before we can do anything."

"Why did they tie Buckbeak outside?" Hermione asked in confusion.

"After all, the trial must be held in the house. Hagrid's hut is so small, and five people will go in soon. They will definitely drive Buckbeak out." Ryan analyzed calmly.

After spending half an hour in the somewhat hot and humid woods, Fudge finally showed up with two members of the Ministry of Magic. As soon as they reached the door of Haige's hut, they heard Fudge say, "McNeill, tie this big guy outside first. I don't want him to scratch me later."

Then Ryan heard Hagrid's stammering defense: "Buckbeak is a good boy. He would never take the initiative to hurt others."

Just as McNeill tied Buckbeak to the field, a figure walked over from a distance. From the white beard that hung down to his chest, he knew that the person coming was Headmaster Dumbledore. After exchanging a few words with Minister Fudge, the Headmaster invited McNeill to go in together. McNeill made sure that Buckbeak was tied up before walking towards Hagrid's hut.

Dumbledore was the last person to enter the room, but he gave Ryan a friendly wink before closing the door.

"It seems I have been discovered." Ryan thought. He didn't expect that his ordinary Disillusionment Charm could hide from Professor Dumbledore's eyes. And based on Dumbledore's more than 100 years of life experience, he could probably guess what Ryan was going to do here, but it was obvious that he didn't object to Ryan's approach.

At this time, Ryan had already heard the old Ministry of Magic official inside begin to weakly explain certain laws. Ryan quickly ran back to the previous hiding place and told everyone to go in the direction of Hagrid's Hut.

After reaching the place where Hagrid's hut could be seen, Ryan Xiaoqing disguised himself as a vine and slowly approached Buckbeak's position. Buckbeak shook his head uneasily as if he sensed something, and the movement made Executioner McNeill turn his head and look at Buckbeak through the window, but he found nothing.

"Charm Animal." Ryan used a nature spell at this time, and Buckbeak was calmed down. Ryan also felt that he could now order Buckbeak to do something.

He nodded to the unicorns behind him, and the unicorns, led by their leader, ran out of the Forbidden Forest and started playing at the other side of Hagrid's hut. The noise quickly alarmed the people in the house and attracted all their attention.

Right now, Ryan made a gesture, and Xiaoqing immediately climbed onto the rope tied to Buckbeak and made the scales on his tail even rougher, and then began to repeatedly rub the bottom of the rope with his tail. Soon his rough scales broke the rope that was as thick as two fingers.

Later, at Ryan's call, Buckbeak walked quietly and quickly towards the Forbidden Forest. Soon Buckbeak followed Ryan to where Hermione and Wolfe were hiding.

"It worked." The three people smiled at each other. Wolfe took out a thumb-sized crystal leaf from the hair on his belly, then held it with his front paws and put it on Buckbeak's chest. "This is what Betty gave me before she left. With this, I can take Buckbeak back to the tribe." At this point, the sound of horse hooves came, and the unicorns ran over leisurely.

After checking that no one was injured, Ryan and Hermione said goodbye to the guys in the Forbidden Forest. Then they used the Disillusionment Charm to blend in with the students who were celebrating the end of the exam by the lake.

More than an hour later, Ryan, who was reading with Hermione by a tree, heard a louder noise. It turned out that the afternoon exam was over, and the students who had finished the exam also joined the crowd of celebration.

At this time, Harry and Ron suddenly ran over, with Harry holding a note in his hand. "Ryan, Hermione, good news. Buckbeak is free."

"Oh? Did the appeal succeed this time?" Ryan asked, pretending to be clueless. Hermione was still reading the book in her hand, but if you looked closely, you could see that she was trying to hold back her laughter by lowering her head while reading.

"No, he didn't. But Buckbeak was smart enough to break the rope and run away. The people from the Ministry wanted to put the blame on Hagrid. Unfortunately, Dumbledore was there at the time and pointed out that it was the Ministry's people who asked Buckbeak to be tied outside and it was the Ministry's people who tied him up. Hagrid didn't touch Buckbeak at all, so how could they put the blame on him in this case?"

At this point Harry handed over the letter, "Hagrid doesn't seem to know that you have finished your exams this afternoon, so he waited until our exams were over before delivering this letter."

Ryan took the letter and found that the tears on the letter had blurred many of the words. It seemed that Buckbeak's escape really made Hagrid very happy. At the end of the letter, Hagrid invited them to have afternoon tea with him after the exam.

So the four of them walked towards Hagrid's hut together. As soon as they arrived at his door, they could hear cheerful humming coming from the house.

After knocking on the door, the singing in the house paused for a moment, and then Hagrid appeared in front of them wearing an apron. "Please come in. I just went to the woods and saw that the blueberries were ripe early, so I picked some to make blueberry pie. It's just right for you to try it."

After sitting down, Hagrid was busy in front of the stove while recounting what had just happened. Ryan then realized that after he left with Buckbeak, the executioner McNeill was the first to discover that Buckbeak had escaped. At first, he wanted to frame Hagrid, but failed due to the opposition of Headmaster Dumbledore. He also said that someone ambushed outside and stole the Hippogriff, and the unicorn was also summoned by that person to cover up.

However, after several people went out, they found that the rope tied to Buckbeak was worn off instead of cut, and there were only McNeill's footprints and Hagrid's footprints. So Dumbledore pointed out that it was McNeill who tied the rope in the wrong place, which caused the hippogriff to escape. He was just trying to shirk responsibility by saying this now. In the end, the two Ministry of Magic employees could only go back in disgrace, leaving Minister Fudge to go to the principal's office to discuss something with Dumbledore.

"It's gone! It's gone! Merlin bless it, it's gone! It must have broken free! Beak, you're so smart!" Hagrid said excitedly at last. Hermione and Ryan smiled at each other when they heard this. After all, saving an innocent life is a pleasant thing.
