Mischievous Glint | George Weasley

Chapter 10

"I can't believe they're going to kill Buckbeak. It's just too horrible." I stomped down towards where Draco and his two goons peeking at buckbeak with his binoculars

"It just got worse." Ron muttered.

"Now, I'll tell you. Father said I can keep the Hippogriff's head. I think I'll donate it to the Gryffindors' room. This is going to be rich." Draco turned around, hearing footsteps behind him. "Look who's here. Come to see the show?"

Hermione took her wand out and pointed it to Draco neck.

"You! You foul, loathsome, evil little cockroach!"

"Hermione, no! He's not worth it." Ron stopped her. Her eyes then darted towards me asking for my permission.

"Listen to him." I awkwardly stated as she lowered her wand making Malfoy laugh. She then promptly turned back and punched him in the nose making him fall.

"Uugghh." Draco goaned and ran away with his goons.

"That felt good." She admitted.

"Not good, brilliant!" Ron complimented.

We strolled down to Hagrid's hut who was watching buckbeak sitting from his window.

"Look at him. Loves the smell of the trees when the wind blows through them." Hagrid sobbed.

"Why don't we just set him free?" Harry asked.

"They'd know it was me, and then Dumbledore would get into trouble. He's coming down, you know? Dumbledore says he wants to be with me when it happens. Great man, Dumbledore. A great man." He said turning back to us.

"We'll stay with you too, Hagrid." Hermione said as I agreed with her.

"You'll do no such thing! Think I want you seeing something like that? No. You just drink your tea and be off." Hagrid scolded.

Then suddenly Ron's rat came running to him out of nowhere.

"Scabbers! You're alive!"

"Keep a closer eye on your pets, Ron." Hagrid said.

"I think that means you owe someone an apology." I teased as ron scowled.

"Right. Next time I see Crookshanks, I'll let him know." Ron mumbled.

"She meant me!" Hermione complained.

A stone was thrown hitting Hagrid's table.

"Blimey! What was that?" We looked at the stone as a another one was thrown. But this time on Harry's head.

"Ow!" He looked at the open window and saw Dumbledore walking towards the hut with fudge and an executioner.

"Oh, crikey. Go now. The lot of you. Hide." Hagrid shoo'ed us away as we bailed from the back door of his hut.

We four hid behind a pile of pumpkins watching them enter his hut. Something caught my eyes and I looked back to the forest behind us but saw nothing.

"What?" Harry asked.

"I thought I just saw... never mind." I shrugged.

"Let's go!" Ron ushered us to follow his to the forest as soon as we saw the executioner, Fudge and Dumbledore coming out the hut.

"He bit me! Scabbers!" Ron dropped his rat and held onto his bleeding finger. He chased after the rat which was running away.

"Ron! Ron!" Hermione tried to stop him.

"Scabbers, come back!"

"Wait!" I yelled.

"Scabbers, you bit me!"
