It was the day that Buckbeak would be killed. Hagrid looked miserable, and after classes the 4 of them would go visit him. At 6:00 sharp the executioner would take a visit to Hagrid's hut and kill Buckbeak.
Everyone was pissed that this was happening. In Hagrid's 1st year of teaching a student gets hurt? Why would Hagrid get the blame for that? Malfoy knew what he did. And he should be the one punished; not Hagrid.
The four kids walked down the stone filled path that lead to is hut.
"Poor Hagrid." Harry said somewhat quietly
"I know. I feel bad" Hermione added
"We shouldn't feel bad, but instead help him out. Nobody should go through this alone." Willow said in the same depressing tone. She wanted to be optimistic but she couldn't find it in herself.
"He's gone through enough anyway" Ron reminded
"His dad- then the expulsion- now this?" Harry said a bit louder.
"I can't imagine" Ron muttered. Finally, they reached the clearing where Hagrid's hut stood. it had smashed pumpkins in the backyard, and Buckbeak was tied to a post by a chain. They knocked on the door softly, and then heard booming footsteps coming from inside. The mini-giant stood in the doorframe, looking sweaty and anxious.
"What are ye three doin' here?" Hagrid said quickly before letting them into his house.
"We thought we would stay with you when-" Harry paused "--when it happens"
"That's sweet of ye, but they are gon' be here any minute." Hagrid said. "Oh! Ron- I found yer rat" Hagrid walked over and pulled Scabbers- the missing rat- out of a jar.
"SCABBERS!" Ron exclaimed
"Keep an eye on yer pets" Hagrid gave a sad smile
"I think you owe someone an apology." Hermione stated
"Yea! I'll make sure to tell Crookshanks when I see them!" Ron said and Hermione punched his arm
"Ron, don't be salty. Say sorry to Hermione" Willow said. As soon as Ron opened his mouth, a rock hit and broke a jar on Hagrid table; they could hear Dumbledore's voice walking down the path. Hagrid hurriedly shoved the kids outside the backdoor. Hagrid let Dumbledore, the executioner, and another man in, giving the 4 just enough time to hide behind one of the still not smashed pumpkins.
Once they finally caught their breath, the worst happened. Scabbers leaped from Ron's hand and made a run for it, and Ron ran after him. This caused a chain reaction, and Hermione and Harry ran after Ron, who was running after Scabbers. Willow started running too, and they ran through the woods, all the way to the Whomping Willow. Finally, Ron snatched Scabbers from the grass.
Then, the 4 heard a growl from the bushes. Harry whipped his head around, facing the bush, and he turned white. The red eyes- the black fur- it was unmistakable. It was the big black dog that Harry had seen all year- and it was HUGE.
It first looked at Hermione, looking her up and down. Then, Harry, and it's eyes softened, before looking at Willow. It's eyes went back to the evil burning stare that she was all too familiar with. It's eyes darted to Ron, and it pounced. Screaming, Ron held onto his rat. The dog dragged Ron by his ankle into a small hole in the Whomping Willow. His screams faded as the dog dragged him further into the tree. Hermione and Harry looked frightened, but ran after Ron nonetheless. Willow slid easily into the hole, but Harry and Hermione didn't have such luck. The Whomping Willow had grabbed Hermione, flinging her around like a ragdoll. Harry tried to get her down, but the tree would just swat him away. Finally, Hermione grabbed Harry, and the tree tossed them into the hole with Willow.
