Chapter 778 Guilty

"Harry, Ron..." Hermione urged in a low voice, "We have to get out of here quickly."

Hermione regretted why she didn't insist on stopping the two from sneaking over.

At this moment, Harry hadn't come back to his senses, his face was full of confusion, and he hadn't even figured out what was going on over there.

Buckbeak seems to have disappeared out of thin air?

Yes.

The hippogriff disappeared out of thin air in front of the three people, leaving no trace behind, as if someone had cast a disappearing spell on it.

Is it really a vanishing spell?

Hermione doubted that even Professor McGonagall would be able to make such a huge Hippogriff disappear out of thin air.

However, this matter was undoubtedly the work of Albert Anderson, but none of the three could see how Albert made the Hippogriff disappear into thin air in front of them.

After discovering that the Hippogriff was missing, the Danger Disposal Committee fell into brief chaos.

Before Harry could gloat about this, he heard Lucius Malfoy's angry roar, "Harry Potter hid that beast."

To be honest, Harry was confused when he heard Lucius Malfoy's slander.

It was obviously Albert who did this, so what does it have to do with him?

Is it possible that all the Malfoy family are fools?

"Harry, let's get out of here quickly. After Buckbeak disappears, they will definitely ask dementors to help search."

Hermione reached out and took Harry's arm, urging him to leave.

If Malfoy found out that the three of them were here, even if they hadn't let Buckbeak go, the matter would be blamed on them.

Hermione had already thought of the reason.

If it wasn't you who did it, what are you doing sneaking around here at this time?

They might even drag down Hagrid and Albert.

"Oh, by the way, Hermione, do you know how Albert made the Hippogriff disappear?" Harry asked curiously.

"I don't know, Harry." Hermione shook her head and reminded, "Don't bring it up again, we don't know anything."

"You actually don't know sometimes." Ron said, pretending to be surprised.

"Can we go back to the castle first? I dare say they must have gone to the dementors for help." Hermione felt that Harry and Ron were so childish because they had not been severely beaten by reality."

"Malfoy must be mad." Ron's face was full of gloating.

Lucius Malfoy was indeed driven crazy by this incident. They quickly contacted the dementors stationed around the Hogwarts school through their connections with the Ministry of Magic, and confirmed that no creatures had escaped from Hogwarts just now.

Flying away over Ci.

As for the forest behind the pumpkin patch, after the Dementors carefully searched it, they found no trace of the hippogriff leaving. The beast seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

Lucius Malfoy was naturally unwilling to accept such a result. He was convinced that Hagrid had found some way to smuggle Buckbeak to a safe place.

Lucius Malfoy was furious when he thought that the other party actually transferred the hippogriff under his nose.

After all, it was just a matter of time before the beast disappeared out of thin air.

"Dumbledore, I suspect that the Hippogriff is hidden in the castle." McNeil said to Dumbledore, who was drinking brandy, "So, we are going to search Hogwarts Castle."

"This is against the rules." The old wizard frowned and reminded.

In fact, this ending is undoubtedly the best outcome for the old wizard. The hippogriff is not dead, Hagrid should not hold any grudge against him, and he successfully completed his mission.

As for the Hippogriff running away, I really can't blame him for that.

After all, Dumbledore was also present, and he didn't find any clues, let alone himself.

"I will never allow Dementors to enter Hogwarts School." Dumbledore said his bottom line.

Lucius Malfoy stared at Dumbledore with his eyes fixed on him, then moved his eyes to the brandy on the table, his lips trembling slightly.

snort!

Malfoy left angrily.

Lucius knew that he had lost. Even if he could convince Fudge to send Aurors to search Hogwarts Castle, the best time would have been missed. During this time, the opponent had already transferred the Hippogriff to someone else.

No place to go.

"Okay Hagrid, I'm going back first." Dumbledore stood up and prepared to leave.

"Dumbledore, I'm coming with you to tell Albert about the divination." Hagrid got up and followed Dumbledore out of the hunting lodge. He didn't forget what the principal's portrait told him to tell him.

Of course, Hagrid couldn't wait to meet Albert and find out Buckbeak's current situation.

When Hagrid and Dumbledore walked side by side, they often turned to look at the woods behind them: "Do you think they will do anything else?"

"No, Buckbeak has already escaped. There is no point even if they search the castle." Dumbledore was telling the truth. He did not think that the Ministry of Magic could find Buckbeak hidden in the castle.

"Tell Mr. Anderson that I like lemonade," Dumbledore reminded.

Hagrid was a little confused and didn't understand what Dumbledore meant by his words. However, he would still convey the words to Albert in full.

After separating from Dumbledore in the foyer, Hagrid soon found Albert in the hall who was enjoying dinner. He strode forward and put his hand on his shoulder, "Thank you for the hand card you prepared for me."

and tranquilizers, they all work."

"Did you win the case?" Lee Jordan asked curiously.

"No, I lost in the end." Hagrid didn't feel disappointed about losing the lawsuit, but looked very excited.

"Then why do you look so happy?" Li Jordan couldn't understand Hagrid's thoughts.

"Just now, Buckbeak escaped on his own and is free," Hagrid announced.

Fred, George and Lee Jordan all looked at Albert, and they dared to pat their chests and assure themselves that Albert had definitely done this.

But how did Albert do it?

For the past two hours, Albert had been staying with them in the library.

"What's the reaction from the Ministry of Magic?" Albert glanced at the completed tasks in the task panel, raised his head and asked Hagrid about the follow-up situation.

"Lucius Malfoy was absolutely furious," said Hagrid. "They searched the sky and the woods behind the pumpkin patch, but found nothing."

"After all, some people have worked hard and ended up in vain, so it is naturally difficult to accept the reality." Albert suddenly asked, "But this is definitely not why you came to me!"

"By the way, someone wants to ask you for help in divination." Hagrid also realized that he had said too much, and quickly changed the subject, briefly talking about the portrait in the principal's office that wanted to ask Albert for divination.

"Is the portrait asking Albert for a divination?"

All three of them thought this was very strange.

"Yes." Hagrid nodded.

"I charge for fortune-telling for strangers." Albert frowned and asked, "Have you mentioned this to that person?"

"I told him about this, and I thought..." Hagrid actually couldn't figure out how to give the portrait to Albert Galleons. "Perhaps Dumbledore would be willing to help pay for the galleons! Yes!

Yes, if you are free tomorrow, come to my place for tea, and Dumbledore asked me to tell you that he likes lemonade."

"Oh." Albert nodded to indicate that he understood. As for when to divine the portrait, it would depend on when he was free.

He’s not in a hurry anyway!

"What does that mean?" Fred asked confused.

"The password on the stone carving in front of the principal's office." Albert explained.

Just as Hagrid was about to leave, he happened to bump into Harry's trio who had just entered the hall.

"Hagrid, are you okay?"

"I'm fine Harry, Buckbeak flew away on his own." Hagrid told Harry excitedly about this.

"Congratulations Hagrid." Hermione was sincerely happy for Hagrid.

"I bet some people are going crazy." Ron made an obscene gesture towards Malfoy, who was staring here, and couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Look at his expression, it's like someone put a bullet in his mouth."

There was a lot of shit in there."

"Shut up Ron, everyone is eating now, can you stop talking about those disgusting things?" The twins turned their heads and glared at Ron, threatening, "Be careful we put a dung bomb in your mouth."

Ron shut up obediently, because Fred and George actually took out the dung bombs from their pockets. God knows why these two bastards put these stuff in their pockets.

"What are you thinking about?" Lee Jordan asked.

"I really didn't expect that the first customer who came to me for divination was actually a painting." Albert actually had no intention of helping the customer with divination, at least not for the time being.

Let him wait!

Although Albert thought so, he soon found that instead of looking for the other party, the other party actually came to him, and seemed a little impatient.

When Albert returned to the Gryffindor common room, he bumped into him in front of the Fat Lady's portrait.

This is a wizard with a goatee and a silver and green Slytherin costume.

"Hello, Mr. Anderson, let me introduce myself. My name is Phineas Nigellus Black. I was once the principal of Hogwarts." The portrait introduced itself to Albert, "I think that...

Hagrid should have told you that I hope to ask you to divine something."

"Aren't you afraid that I'm a liar?" Albert asked.

"The Black family is not short of money." Phineas said to Albert, "I can give you a hundred galleons to help me divine whether Regulus Black is still alive."

"You are already dead." Albert reminded, "You should not interfere with real matters."

"I know, but what does this have to do with your deal?" Phineas asked.

"It really doesn't matter." Albert nodded and said, "This is just a deal. As long as I see Galleon, I will help you divine."

"You can go to the principal's office." Phineas said, "Dumbledore has already prepared the Galleons."

"You can ask the house elf to send Galleons to my dormitory, and I can help you divine." Albert said, "Let the Fat Lady open the door."

"Are you really good at divination?" the fat lady asked curiously.

"Who knows?" Albert walked in.

After a while, the house elf actually delivered a bag of galleons, along with Phineas's portrait.

"Here is the fee. Can you start? I want to know if Regulus Black is still alive." Phineas said, staring at the crystal ball in front of him.

"Is Regulus Black still alive?"

Albert gently put his hand on the crystal ball, looked at the gradually rotating white mist, and repeated in his mind what he wanted to know.

Soon, a pale face was reflected in the crystal ball, and he looked like he was floating in the water.

"Unfortunately, Regulus Black is dead and his body may be in the water." Albert adjusted the position of the portrait so that Phineas could see it more clearly.

The old man was silent. Although he had already guessed it, seeing his great-great-grandson's death was still a big blow to him, because it meant that the only heir to the Black family was Sirius Black, and that

The bastard is still a dangerous wanted criminal. Once caught by the Ministry of Magic, he will definitely not survive.

"I want to know how Regulus Black died, and whether Sirius Black would be caught by the Ministry of Magic and lose his life."

"You know, every divination requires money." Albert reminded with a smile.

"You want money." Phineas glanced at him and said, "I will ask the house elf to bring it to you later. I guarantee it on the honor of the Black family."

"You know, I don't believe in this."

"Oh, what the hell, wait a minute." Phineas disappeared from the portrait frame, and after a while, the house elf sent another bag of galleons.

"Can we start?" Phineas reappeared and said angrily.

"certainly."

This time, a necklace appeared on the crystal ball.

"What does it mean?"

"His death should be related to this necklace. This thing should be related to Slytherin. It has the symbol of a snake on it." Albert said.

"No more?" Phineas asked with wide eyes.

"Gone."

"I need more detailed information."

"Have you seen any prophet who can present the whole thing? Anyway, I can only predict some key fragments or certain key items." Albert pushed the money bag in front of the portrait and said, "That's it.

Bar."

Phineas was a little confused and didn't understand what Albert meant, but he quickly realized that Albert meant that their deal was over and he wouldn't take the galleons."

"Wait a minute, I want to know about Sirius Black." Phineas shouted quickly, but he hadn't finished asking yet."

"The wanted criminal?"

"right."

"Tell me whether he deserves it and whether he will die." Phineas was still very concerned about the situation of the Black family.

"Okay." Albert declared in advance, "However, no matter what the result is, I will not refund you any more."

"let's start."

When Albert's hand brushed over the crystal ball again, what appeared in the crystal ball was a picture of Harry and Blake walking side by side, and the two seemed to be talking about something.

"It seems that Black should be innocent, otherwise it would be impossible for him and Potter to walk together and chat and laugh." Albert said while looking at the picture in the crystal ball.

Phineas breathed a sigh of relief, but soon remembered something, and cursed angrily, "Those losers from the Ministry of Magic, they just threw people into Azkaban Prison without even trying them."

"It's very similar to what the Ministry of Magic would do." Albert said to Phineas after putting away all the money bags. "It is not easy to clear Black's wrongdoing. If I were you, I would ask

Dumbledore helps solve the problem."

"I'll do it later. But do you have any good ideas?"

"Capture Peter Pettigrew." Albert said without thinking, "As long as we can capture Peter Pettigrew, we should be able to prove that Black is innocent. I wish you good luck."

"I wonder where Peter Pettigrew is?" said Phineas. "Help me catch that guy and I'll ask Sirius Black to give you a galleons, a thousand, no, three thousand."

"Black's bounty is ten thousand Galleons." Albert reminded, "And I suggest you go to Dumbledore for help. He is more reliable than me."

"Ask him for help? Of course, I will ask Dumbledore for help, but I prefer to believe you." Phineas shook his head and said, "I heard about Hagrid. You are more reliable than Dumbledore. If not

With your help, I think that beast is dead."

"Five thousand Galleons." Albert took out a recording ball, "I will help you catch Peter Pettigrew and clear Sirius Black's name."

"I agree, but I will not pay the galleons until it is completed." Phineas agreed.

Albert glanced at the mission panel and was very satisfied with the newly created "Innocent Dog" mission. He began to write the contract between the two parties, dictated it, and recorded the verbal agreement between the two parties through the recording ball.
