After we get back to the common room, Hermione, Ron, Harry and I go to Hagrid’s to check about the execution of Buckbeak
 
“I can’t believe they’re going to kill Buckbeak! it’s too horrible!” said Hermione.
 
“It just got worse,” I pointed into Malfoy and his possy.
 
Hermione, Ron, Harry, turn around
 
 “Did you see the big, fat, blubbering oaf?! Oh, this isgoing to be rich. Did I tell you, Father said I can keep the head,” said Malfoy and he sees us. “Ah, come to see the show?”
 
“The show that you’re create because of the innocent hipogriff that’s going to be dead because you have no respect for anyone or anything?” I said angrily.
 
But Hermione is angrier than me.
 
“You.. foul... loathsome.. eveil.. little cockroach..” sad Hermione. Malfoy stumbles back against a tree, cross eyes with fear as Hermione jabs the tip of her wand under his nose
 
“Hermione don’t! He just going to put you into a lot of trouble like he did to Buckbeak. He has no respect remember?” I said try to stop Hermione.
 
“Hermione! No!” Hermione turns, suprised look in her face
 
“He’s not worth it,” said Ron.
 
Hermione nods, then she punches Malfoy’s jaw, putting him flat on his back, stunned, Malfoy leaps to his feet and runs, Crabbe and Goyle huffing and puffing behind.
 
“That felt good,” said Hermione.
 
“Brilliant,” said Harry.
 
We make our way to down the slope and past Buckbeak, chewing on a ferret with idle satisfaction.
Hagrid stands by the window, watching Buckbeak, Harry and Ron sit, Hermione and I make tea.
 
“Look at him. Loves the smell on the trees when the wind blows,,,” said Hagrid.
 
“I say we set him free,” said Harry.
 
“They’d know I did it. And that would only get Dumbledore in trouble. Gonna come down you know. Says he wants to be with me when it happens. Great Man Dumbledore,” said Hagrid.
 
“We’ll stay with you too, Hagrid,” I said.
 
“You will not! Think I want you seeing a thing like this! no. You’ll drink your tea and be off. But before you do,” said Hagrid.
 
Ron and Harry exchange a glance, then look to Hagrid.
 
“Thing I haven’t seen it’s been between you two? Go on now, Harry and Ron shakes hands.
 
“Good. Now then, Ron, I want you to give Hermione a hug,” said Hagrid.
 
“What’s going on in here?” I asked. I’m confuse.
 
“What?” asked Hermione and Ron at the same time.
 
“Go on! You two been at it all year. And I’m sick of it,” said Hagrid.
 
Hermione and Ron step forward and perform perhaps the most ackward hug Hogwarts has ever seen.
 
“Crikey, that’s just about the most pathetic hug I ever seen,” said Hagrid.
 
“Yeah, but at least they did it right?” I tried to ignore the ackward conversation that I’ve ever had.
 
“I’m not kissing Fang if that’s what you’re thinking..” said Ron.
 
Hagrid turns, takes the lif from a flour tin, a tiny head, ears flecked with powder, emerges.
 
“Scabbers! You’re alive!” said Ron.
 
“You should keep a closer eye on your pets Ron,” said Hagrid.
 
“Yeah, and don’t blame it on someone else,” I glare at Ron.
 
“I think you owe someone an apology,” said Hermione
 
“Right, next time I see Crookshanks I’ll let him know,” said Ron.
 
“I meant me,” said Hermione.
 
Suddenly a glass jar on the shelf shatters.
 
“Ow!” said Harry as a second stone bounces off the back of Harry’s head. “Hagrid,”
 
Everyone turns, looks, Dumbledore and Fudge approach. Behind them, in a fluttering shroud a=of crows, the executioner follows, axe at his side. Hagrid begins to panic.
 
“You got to go! It’s almost dark. Anyone sees you outside the castle it’ll be trouble. Big trouble! Especially you Harry,” said Hagrid. The door shakes, Hagrid stiffens in fear. Harry reaches up, puts his finger to Hagrid’s trembling lips, speaks softly to the others. “C’mon!” said Harry.
 
Then we exit through the back door.
