Natural Magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 209 Leif comes to see Neville
In the Forbidden Forest, Azar's mother looked indifferently at Buckbeak who was shot down by his own spell and running away, and immediately chased after him.

Not far outside the Forbidden Forest, before Harry and his group, who were still in shock, could react, the people who were testing whether Lupine was a werewolf turned their attention here.

"What to do, Harry?"

Harry was still hiding in the Invisibility Cloak, and was about to speak out when he heard the voices of Fudge and Professor McGonagall behind him.

"Come on, Ron." Harry whispered. At this time, the black fog in his eyes had dissipated, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of regret in his heart. He didn't want to be expelled from school because of Buckbeak, and now the professor and the Ministry of Magic People are obviously attracted, and the Ministry of Magic will not let him let go of the prisoner just because he is the savior.

Ron's face was full of panic, and he felt his arm being grabbed by Harry and ran away. This was the only way he could think of.

"Hermione, come on." Harry called out to Hermione.

But Hermione pulled off Harry's invisibility cloak and threw it into the vegetable patch aside.

"Idiot Harry, you can't make the same mistake again and again!" Hermione stared seriously at Harry, whose eyes kept evading, and Snape also walked over. From a distance, he saw Hermione pulling down Harry's invisibility cloak. Of course, he was walking in a hurry, but the people from the Ministry of Magic didn't see it.

"Don't talk nonsense, Odd!" Snape warned in a low voice beside Bree, then strode to Harry's side, slapped Harry hard on the shoulder, and bowed his head. He said harshly: "What are you doing here? Don't tell me that the scene just now was done by you!"

"No, Professor, we are just here to see Buckbeak off for the last time..." Hermione stood up and faced Snape's eyes, but cold sweat broke out on her palms and back, her heart was pounding, and she pretended Repeat again as usual.

"We are here to send Buckbeak off for the last time. We know it is a crime and will not do anything so stupid."

Of course Snape would not care about the life or death of a Hippogriff. He looked at the black curly head that was still pressed down by his hand, blew out a strong breath from his nostrils, and hummed: "You guys better stay behind." Stick to that reason, or the Ministry will send you to Azkaban, three troublesome trolls!"

Snape slapped Harry on the head hard again, then turned to look at the arriving Ministry of Magic personnel and Professor McGonagall.

"What's happening here!" Professor McGonagall took the lead and looked at Snape.

Snape lowered his eyes slightly, and Professor McGonagall calmed down somewhat upon seeing this.

Bree glanced at Harry lightly. He felt that there was a faint trace of dark magic remaining on Harry's body. It was very weak. If Bree hadn't been close to natural magic and had a strong sense of it, he might not have been able to detect it.

Clearly the magic has completed its mission.

The Aurors had already rushed into the Forbidden Forest, and Fudge stared blankly at Harry.

"I wonder Mr. Potter..."

"Mr. Fudge, I think we need to find the Hippogriff before we ask them about this matter." Snape said bluntly, interrupting Fudge's embarrassment to Harry.

"Oh, we all know that this is a place of execution, and there should be no little wizards here." Fudge looked at Snape dissatisfied, but when he saw Lupine and Rita Skeeter walking behind him, he paused sound.

Lupine is innocent, and the thing that detects werewolf identity has no effect on him at all, and after losing twice, he has no chance to challenge Dumbledore, not to mention that he believes that Rita Skeeter is still there. It would not be good if news got out that he treated the savior harshly.

"Then wait. I believe Harry is innocent. He is just a student who has just gone through the final exam." Fudge laughed and laughed.

Here, Rita Skeeter, who had briefly interviewed Lupin, also came over. She also saw Buckbeak falling into the Forbidden Forest. She didn't expect that the material she didn't like would turn out to be some good news.

Harry and Ron, pretending to be quail, lowered their heads and did not dare to speak, while Hermione looked nervously towards the Forbidden Forest.

"Something in the Forbidden Forest hurt Buckbeak. I just saw a black light hit it and it fell from the sky!"

Black light is generally synonymous with black magic.

Fudge looked strange, then his eyes lit up, and he said loudly, "It must be Black, the criminal who ran out of Azkaban!"

Black!
McGonagall and Snape looked at each other, neither quite believing it was Black, but Fudge was obviously chasing after him, and he wanted to continue to cause trouble for Dumbledore.

……

In the Forbidden Forest, the fallen Buckbeak did not die immediately. He fled deeper into the Forbidden Forest, but the black magic had prepared a long-term ambush for it. The wound on its abdomen was huge, and it was probably not going to survive long and it would not be able to escape. How far.

"hiss!"

Buckbeak had only run a short distance before he slowly fell down, but he soon stood up again.

"Poof!" The sound of the dagger piercing the blood vessels in Buckbeak's neck was heard.

"Zi!" The dagger was pulled out, and a stream of bright red sprayed out like a spring, falling on the grass. The hot temperature spread the heat on the grass...

"Bang!" Buckbeak collapsed completely and lost all strength. Blood spurted out from his mouth and teeth, and his eyes gradually became dull.

Immediately afterwards, the blood-stained dagger pierced Buckbeak's chest, and blood gushed out along with the cut flesh. As it went deeper, the thumping heart was exposed to the air, and the hot breath hit his face with a thud. When he came, the man with the dagger did not hesitate. He cut out the still-beating heart extremely quickly and put it into the potion jar.

"Shushasha!" The whole process was very fast, and the person left here in a short while.

"Found it." It didn't take long for Mrs. Azar to follow the smell of blood and find Buckbeak lying on the ground. She immediately ran to Buckbeak's side, but saw that Buckbeak's heart had been dug out.

"Who?!"

Mrs. Azar's eyes were widened. She only felt swelling and pain in her temples, and veins popped out from anger.

"Huh!" She looked at Buckbeak's empty heart and took a deep breath. She condensed a black magic in her hand and threw it on Buckbeak without hesitation. Soon Buckbeak's flesh fell off frequently and turned into Pus and blood, only a pile of bones remained.

"I must catch you!"

Mrs. Azar hurriedly left this place and chased towards the Forbidden Forest. She wanted to see who dared to steal her things!
"Here!" The Aurors soon gathered around Buckbeak who had turned into a skeleton.

"This?" The Aurors looked at each other and saw the aura of dark magic remaining on Buckbeak's body.

"I'll report it to the minister, and you can investigate everywhere..."

……

"What?" Fudge stared, and quickly led by the Auror to the side of Buckbeak's body. Looking at Buckbeak's miserable condition, he swallowed hard. This black magic is too evil, but like this Magic deals with corpses and is not very lethal to living creatures.

"Could it be Mrs. Azar?" an official from the Department of Magical Enforcement reminded.

It had long been known throughout the Ministry of Magic that Mrs. Azar wanted Buckbeak's heart.

"This." Fudge touched his chin and thought about the use value of this matter. He quickly said: "It can't be Mrs. Azar. Buckbeak is about to be executed. It stands to reason that Buckbeak's heart will be used to heal her. It’s a foregone conclusion that she won’t do such a thing.”

After Fudge failed to communicate with Dumbledore, he had already planned to use Buckbeak's heart to win over Mrs. Azar, so he expected that Mrs. Azar would not bother to do such an illegal thing. Unfortunately, what Fudge didn't know was that Azar Mrs. Zar didn't want to be controlled by him, she just wanted to treat her son as soon as possible.

If the heart falls into Fudge's hands, Fudge will definitely threaten her with this and delay Azar's treatment. This time, Mrs. Azar has even brought the potion matching the heart. As long as she gets the heart, she can even Find a hidden place to refine the potion as soon as possible.

"Harry..." Ron looked at Buckbeak on the ground with a pale face. He was obviously alive just now, but now there is only a white skeleton left...

"My Buckbeak, my boy!"

Hagrid couldn't hold back any longer and immediately rushed forward, regardless of the black magic and pus and blood.

"Hagrid, don't destroy the crime scene!" Professor McGonagall said sternly, but it was a pity that Hagrid was already in deep sorrow and could not hear her voice.

"Oh, Professor McGonagall, don't be so nervous, just let him hold it. There is no need to keep a pile of bones. Now we just need to find the murderer hidden in Hogwarts. Black, this is obviously a sign of magic. Demonstration from the Ministry!”

Fudge immediately characterized the incident.

"The Hippogriff was supposed to be killed by Axeman and put on trial, but Black first let it go and then killed it. This is contempt and another declaration of war against the Ministry of Magic. We must catch it. Stop him!"

"The Department of Magical Enforcement should send more Aurors. Today, we are going to search Hogwarts!"

Fudge looked sternly at the officials of the Department of Magical Enforcement. The people in the Department of Magical Enforcement looked at each other. Being brought by Fudge meant that there was a certain deal between them, so even if they couldn't stand Fudge, they nodded simply. , and asked his men to summon the Aurors.

Fudge touched Harry's silent little head and said to Professor McGonagall: "I think Dumbledore will agree to this proposal. Please tell him."

Professor McGonagall looked at Harry who lowered his head and said nothing, and clenched his palms.

She pursed her lips first, and then said: "I will talk to Dumbledore, but please let me take the children back first, and tonight is the end-of-term dinner, maybe the Aurors can only stay outside the castle..."

"End-of-semester dinner...oh wait, I guess the kids are not missing this one."

Fudge didn't care about the dinner party. He just wanted to catch Black and prove that the Ministry of Magic he was in charge of was solid. The fugitive Black was an accident and he could catch him.

"I…"

"Professor McGonagall, let me explain this to Dumbledore. You'd better let the little wizards stay in the dormitory and wait for the inspection on the second day, so that you can leave Hogwarts and take the train home. "

Fudge smiled heartily. He had caught the clue again this time. Look, if Dumbledore doesn't agree, then he will blame the savior for letting the Hippogriff go!
"Please go back quickly. We will start the search from the Forbidden Forest and head to Hogwarts later in the afternoon."

Patting Harry on the head, Fudge looked around with satisfaction.

"Where's Oded?"

Bree?

Professor McGonagall looked around and found that not only Bree was not there, but Snape and Lupin were also missing.

"The professors seemed to have discovered something and chased into the Forbidden Forest. I didn't see Bree." Hermione said from the side. Of course, she lied. In fact, Bree discovered something and entered the Forbidden Forest. Lin, while Snape and Lupine caught up with Bree.

"Oh, I'm afraid Mr. Oded has returned to Hogwarts by himself. As for the professors, don't worry, they are all adult wizards." Mr. Fudge asked Professor McGonagall to leave like flies so that he could start to make plans. , it would not work if the murderer was found immediately. He was already planning to spend the night at Hogwarts tonight.

……

On the east side of the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Bree, who used extremely fast speed to get away from Lupine and Snape, finally found another trace of the same source of dark magic.

It's similar to the magic that works in Buckbeak and Harry.

He stood above the treetops, overlooking the forbidden forest ahead.

Mrs. Azar?
"Woof woof woof!" And Sirius Black!
Wait, that's Peter!
"Quack, quack, quack..." The sound of a toad is so familiar.

In the distance, a big black mouse covered in blood ran away quickly, and a big black dog with a mouth full of blood was chasing her. Mrs. Azar stopped.

"Go away, you beast!" Mrs. Azar's eyes turned cold, her anger surged up, and she hit the big black dog with a curse.

The big black dog was severely hit by the curse because he caught the big black mouse and failed to notice Mrs. Azar.

The big black dog glared viciously at Mrs. Azar, but soon continued to catch up with the big black mouse.

Bree frowned and looked at Mrs. Azar, manipulating the natural magic to disrupt the atmosphere of the entire area.

"The breath is gone!" Mrs. Azar tightened her wand and looked around, thinking that the blood of a big black mouse was mixed on the ground, which confused her tracking.

Mrs. Azar looked uncertainly at the big black dog that got up and continued to chase the big black mouse, its mouth full of blood.

"Is this also a magical creature?"

"Mrs. Azar, why are you here!" The Auror came.

Mrs. Azar froze and looked at the Auror with a livid face.

"I saw the Hippogriff being attacked in the Forbidden Forest, so I came after it to take a look." Auror naturally didn't believe this answer.

"Please madam and us to meet the minister, someone let the fugitive Buckbeak go, and even killed it without authorization."

Mrs. Azar snorted coldly, but did not go against the Auror's words.

"I hope the minister can find this little thief soon. After all, it is not easy to find the Hippogriff. Only in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts can such magical animals with uncertain habitats be easily found!"

Mrs. Azar looked at the Forbidden Forest. She might have to be more ruthless. There were many hippogriffs in the Forbidden Forest. It didn't matter if one or two were missing tonight...it was just to take advantage of the little thief!

Soon the Auror left with Mrs. Azar, and when the Auror came, the two chasing rats and dogs disappeared.

"Quack, quack, quack..." the toad's voice.

"Leif?"

Bree jumped down from the treetop and arrived not far from where Mrs. Azar originally stood.

There is a large pit here, with a huge tree growing in the sky, and under the tree full of leaves and dead branches, a toad opens its bulging gray eyes, its cheeks continue to bulge, and makes a sound.

Bree recognized this toad at a glance, and no one was more stupefied than it. He often saw Neville looking for it in Hogwarts.

And this time, it came here?

Bree looked uncertainly among the dead branches and leaves. He noticed the smell of blood and the sound of nervous breathing.

"It seems that this time, you are here to see your master, right, Leif?"

What a loyal pet. It was much better than the yellow one given to him by Professor McGonagall before. Under Nico's hands, the yellow one was probably very fat.

Thinking this, Brie reached out and peeled away the thick leaves.
