However, the scene they imagined did not appear. Not only did the lizards that got into the flames not suffer any harm, but they rolled around leisurely inside. The flames seemed to become more intense because of their arrival.
"Don't worry, these are salamanders. In this lesson, you will go look for wood around and burn the fire as brightly as possible. By the way, observe their habits."
The little guys were quite interested in these lizards, and they were actively looking for firewood everywhere with great enthusiasm.
Ivy and the others did not participate. Instead, they gathered around Buckbeak with Hagrid.
"Hagrid, we have discussed this. As long as you release Buckbeak, he will not be executed." Hermione was doing Hagrid's ideological work.
"Is this possible?" Hagrid was a little doubtful.
"If you think you can convince the trial officials of the Ministry of Magic, you can also attend the trial." Hermione shrugged.
"Uh-ok~ I believe you." Hagrid obviously had little confidence in himself.
While chatting, Harry suddenly noticed someone approaching. He turned around and looked, "Terry? What's the matter?"
It was the Ravenclaw boy who participated in the melee in Hogsmeade, Terry Butt.
"Huh?" Terry is an ordinary-looking student with blond hair. Hearing Harry's question, he was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses, "Oh - it's okay, just walking around. I'm a little curious to see you all gathered here.
.Okay, you guys chat, I’m going to look for firewood.”
After saying that, he quickly walked away
"It feels like he's in a daze," Ron said, staring at his back.
"Are you mourning for it?" Just as Terry was sent away, another mean voice came from behind.
"Phew - I knew it" Hermione rolled her eyes helplessly.
Turning around, it turned out to be the Malfoy trio.
"What are you doing here!" Ron said disgustedly
"Watch your attitude, Weasley. I'm not here to argue with you." Malfoy glanced at him arrogantly.
I saw him holding a bouquet of flowers and walking straight to Harry.
Huh?——Hmm?? This is it!! Ivey’s eyes were so shocked that he popped out of his head. No way~
Unexpectedly, Malfoy turned around and faced Buckbeak.
Phew——, Ivey felt relieved immediately. God knows he almost shouted "Promise him!" just now.
"Today, I deeply mourn this dying thing with an extremely heavy heart. Although you once deliberately attacked me, caused serious internal injuries to me, and almost broke my arm. But I am not a person who holds grudges.
I never cared about it, I've almost forgotten about it." Malfoy muttered in a daze.
"Tch—" Ron sneered, "Don't let the cat cry like a mouse."
"Weasley, do you know what the dead are? What does it look like to be noisy at a memorial service?" Malfoy looked at him contemptuously.
"It's not dead yet!" Hermione shouted angrily.
"Really!" Malfoy pretended to be surprised. "Yes~ it's not dead yet."
"But it doesn't matter." Malfoy smiled sarcastically. "I don't mind sending my blessings in advance." He placed the flowers in his hand on the ground, then turned to Crabbe and Goyle and yelled, "Where are your etiquettes! Do you come to commemorate the dead with nothing?"
"Oh--" After hearing this, Crabbe and Goyle each grabbed a handful of turf, walked forward and stood side by side with Malfoy, and piled the soil in their hands in front of Buckbeak. Then the three of them bowed at the same time, "Have a good trip.
"
"Asshole!" Ron's head was filled with smoke after this.
"Haha~ I understand how you feel, Weasley. I don't blame you." Malfoy turned around and said generously, "Then, please forgive me - haha."
The three of them walked away proudly
"I'm going to beat him." Harry said with a cold face. "Who agrees?"
"I agree!" Ron responded immediately
"I object!" Ivey said
"Ah——" The two of them instantly looked embarrassed.
"Thanks to Malfoy, I suddenly thought of a safer way to release the animals."
"Is it safe? Can't we just let it go?"
"Let him go directly. The Ministry of Magic may pursue Hagrid's passive resistance and think that he did it on purpose." Ivy explained, "But if we can let Buckbeak escape in front of so many students, no one can say
What happened?"
"Nothing wrong, what should I do?" Hermione also thinks this is safe.
"I have a good relationship with a Hippogriff. After a while, I let him bring all the same kind over and cause some commotion. Then I let him rescue Buckbeak."
"You mean Xiao Jin?" Betty asked. This name was chosen by Ivey casually.
"right"
"But will this hurt other people?" Harry was a little worried.
"I'm here, there's no way I can hurt anyone else."
"Is there anything we need to do?"
"Go play with salamanders. When Buckbeak is rescued, try to be with other people."
"Okay, now pretend to look for firewood while I prepare it. Best, come here"
After Best jumped on his shoulder, Ivey left. He entered the forest, found a hidden location, summoned the patron saint, and flew directly to the hunting ground inside the Forbidden Forest.
"Hey--" Xiao Jin cheered when he saw him and ran over.
Ivey handed over two pieces of steak and said, "I need your help with something. You know Hagrid? You have a similar person trapped next to his hut. You can go and take it away later."
"???" Xiaojin tilted his head, his face full of confusion.
"Forget it, just listen to it." Ivey reached out and raised Best in front of it.
"Well -" Xiao Jin stared at Best and nodded his huge head.
"Very good" seems to understand
"In a while, you will take them to find some ferrets and drive them towards Hagrid, and then pretend to hunt for prey. When they get there, you will instruct Xiao Jin to take Buckbeak away. Do you understand?" Then he told Best.
road
"Meow~" Needless to say, Best's IQ. Ivy even thinks it is smarter than Ron.
"Well, send a signal to Betty when you're ready."
After making arrangements, Ivey quickly returned. When Harry and the others saw him coming back, they looked over nervously. They felt relieved after Ivey gave an OK sign to several people.
Three or four minutes later, Betty said, "Okay."
"Well, just wait."
Here, the little wizards who were gathering around to observe the salamanders suddenly noticed that the flames began to shake. Then, a noisy and heavy running sound came from all directions, from far to near.
"What is it!" The students were a little flustered and at a loss.
"Everyone, come here, get together." Hagrid received the hint from Ivey's eyes and stepped forward to stabilize the students.
"Rustling——" There was a rustling sound from the surrounding grass.
"Whoosh -" Suddenly, a black ferret sprang out of the grass. The flash of black figure scared some little wizards to the point of screaming.
The ferret didn't stop and went straight into the bushes on the opposite side.
But this was just the beginning. The first ferret sounded like a signal, followed by seventeen or eight more ferrets that sprang out from the grass in all directions.
However, the efforts of the ferrets were in vain. No matter which direction they fled, there seemed to be enemies. Gradually, the ferrets could only spin back and forth in the middle of the field.
"What's chasing them?" Neville whispered.
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen hippogriffs rushed out from all directions, southeast, northwest and northwest.
"Oh~ It's still a cross siege formation," Ivey praised.
"They won't attack us, right?" Ron began to show off his acting skills
"Haha~ Aren't you good friends, Weasley? Come up and say hello," Malfoy saw the opportunity and mocked.
"Don't move, everyone. The Hippogriff is just hunting for food and will not harm us." Hagrid warned.
"It doesn't matter. The worst thing is to give Buckbeak some more companions," Malfoy said arrogantly.
As the Hippogriff entered the scene, the ferrets immediately fled in all directions. For a moment, there was a lot of dancing in front of Hagrid's hut.
As luck would have it, a ferret ran away towards Buckbeak. Little Gold immediately chased after him.
After Buckbeak saw the ferret, he stood up. He leaned forward and stretched his neck to rattle the iron chain.
However, Xiao Jin was one step ahead of it and took the ferret into his mouth. However, Xiao Jin did not stop and rushed forward, using his sharp front claws to break the iron chain. Then he flew into the sky, chirped a few times, and flew away into the distance.
Buckbeak soared into the sky and gradually disappeared from sight. The students could only watch this scene blankly.
Soon, the ferrets in the field were dying and running away, and the hippogriffs also became quiet.
"Don't move! I'll drive them away." Hagrid's voice was filled with joy.
Unlike the excited Hagrid, Malfoy had a dead look on his face.
"It seems God won't help you either, Malfoy." Ron said with a playful smile, "Why don't you take that bouquet of flowers back? Maybe you can use them at home in the future."
"Hmph!" Malfoy looked like he had eaten two pounds of shit. He took Crabbe and Goyle and left without waiting for the class to end.
....
"You didn't see Malfoy's face~" Ron was still teasing after class, "I think about it a few times and I'll cast the Patronus Charm."
"Okay, stop mumbling."
Next is the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Professor Lupine did not bring any new tricks to this class. He just reviewed the lessons learned before the vacation and caught a few fish that slipped through the net.
After it was over, a few people stayed.
"Is something wrong?" Lu Ping looked at them curiously.
"Professor, I-" Harry was about to speak
"Oh - I remember Harry. But be prepared. How about Thursday night?" Lupine said first.
"Okay" Harry nodded, "but that's not what I want to say..."
"What's wrong? You're hesitant. Just say what you have to say directly." Seeing his hesitation, Lu Ping smiled.
"Let me tell you." Ivy took the initiative to stand up. "Professor Luping, is your nickname Moony Face?"
"Irene told you? Yes, it's me." Lupine answered naturally. It was just a nickname, and he didn't think much about it.
"Why do I call you Moon Face?"
"Is it important?" Lupine replied
“Just wanted to make sure”
"Do you know?" Lu Ping was not stupid and asked so directly.
"Professor, actually I guessed it when Professor Snape assigned that paper," Hermione said with some guilt.
"Smart girl," Lupine praised, and then directly replied, "You guessed it right, I am indeed a werewolf."
