The Girl Who Disappeared (Harry Potter Fan-fiction)

Chapter 45

It was the day of BuckBeak's execution and Maurelle waited by the hill near Hagrid's hut to meet up with the trio.

"Psst, Maurelle." Draco said.

"What do you want this time, Draco?" Maurelle said.

"That bloody chicken is going to be executed today. What did I say? Father said I can keep the hippogriff's head. I'll donate it to the Gryffindors' room. This is going to be rich" Draco said.

"Haha, real funny." Maurelle sarcastically said.

"Look who's here." Draco turned around, " Come to see the show?"

"You! You foul, loathsome, evil little cockroach!" Hermione drew her wand to his neck.

"Hermione, no! He's not worth it."Ron said.

Maurelle sensed Hermione was about to do something,"Hermione, I don't think he can handle-"

Hermione punched Draco right in the face, causing him to bleed from his nose.

"a punch." Maurelle finished, even though it was no use, "A good punch, though" Maurelle gave her a high five.

"That felt good." Hermione said.

Malfoy ran, along with his goons.

"Not good, brilliant!" Ron said.

They went inside Hagrids hut to talk with him before Buckbeak's execution.

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

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

"They'd know it was me, and then Dumbledore... would get into trouble. He's coming down, Dumbledore. Says he wants to be with me when they...When it happens. Great man, Dumbledore. A great man." Hagrid said.

"We'll stay with you too." Hermione said.

"You'll do no such thing! Think I want you seeing something like that? No." Hagrid said.

"I wouldn't mind..." Maurelle said.

"You just drink your tea and be off.  Oh. Before you do, Ron..." Hagrid handed Ron his rat back.

"Scabbers! You're alive!"Ron said.

"Keep a closer eye on your pet." Hagrid said.

"I think you owe someone an apology." Hermione said.

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

"I meant me!" Hermione whined.

Suddenly a rock was thrown into the window, hitting a vase.

"Blimey! What was that?" Ron said.

Another one hit Harry's head, "Ow! "he saw Dumbledore and the others headed towards the hut, Hagrid!"

"Oh, crikey. You shouldn't be here. Someone sees you outside this time of night, you'll be in trouble. Particularly you two, Harry and Maurelle. It'll be fine. It'll be okay. Go on, go on!" Hagrid said.

The four rushed to the backdoor and hid behind the pile of pumpkins. While they were eavesdropping, a twig broke behind them. Maurelle and Hermione paid close attention as to what was behind them, catching a glimpse of a familiar face.

"What?" Harry said.

"I thought I just saw..." Hermione said.

"Never mind that, let's go!" Maurelle said.
