Harry Potter's Otherworldly Archmage

Chapter 134 Whose Chess Game

It was almost evening, the sky was dark, and the sun cast its last ray of light into the Forbidden Forest. The undulating forest glade seemed a little extraordinarily cold under the magnificent warm sun.

Hagrid stood up suddenly, staring out the window.His formerly ruddy face exuded a cheerfulness in the dim sunlight. "They're here..." Augustus stood up, looking over the window, in the distance, a group of men were walking down the stone steps of the castle.In the lead was Dumbledore, his silver beard gleaming in the afterglow of the setting sun.Beside him was Cornelius Fudge, and behind him the elderly and infirm members of the committee.

"Why is Mr. Dumbledore here?" Hermione looked into the distance with some surprise.

Hagrid smiled softly, "The principal has always been worried about this case, so you must insist on participating in the final review process. You leave through the back door now. If the principal finds out that you are still outside the school during this time period, it is still not suitable. regular."

"That's right, logically speaking, you can't leave the school at this time, so let's take our leave first." Augustus nodded in understanding, and said goodbye to Hagrid.

Hagrid led a few people to the door leading to the back garden. Buckbeak was tied behind a tree in Hagrid's pumpkin patch. He seemed unaccustomed to being watched over and over again. Buckbeak was a little out of interest. Tall, paws restlessly scratching in the dirt.

Hagrid sent a few people to the door, then stopped, waved goodbye to a few people at the door, and then he walked slowly back to the hut, someone was already knocking on his door.The four of Augustus began to walk slowly around Hagrid's cabin in silence.As they got to the side of the cabin, the front door slammed shut.

"Let's go, if there are no accidents, Buckbeak should be fine. Now, it's best to go back to school as soon as possible, otherwise Filch will catch him outside the castle, and he will be locked up for a few days." Augustus Glancing at the hut behind him, he urged the three of them.

They stepped onto the sloping lawn.Go to the castle.The sun was sinking fast now, the sky was clear, purple in the gray, but there was still a tinge of red in the west.Ron stood still, motionless. "Oh, please, Ron," began Hermione. "It's Scabbers...it won't...stay still..."

Ron bent down, trying to keep Scabbers still in his pocket, but the mouse went berserk, screaming, writhing and kicking wildly, trying to bite Ron's hand. "Banban, it's me, you fool, it's Ron." Ron whispered.

Augustus' eyes were fixed on Ron's package. An Animagus, logically speaking, had already escaped the wildness of animals. How could he act at this juncture?From this point of view, the castle must be a place he can't avoid, otherwise it would not be possible to escape to Hagrid's cabin for so long.

They turned and walked towards the castle, walking slowly, now the light was fading quickly.By the time they reached the clearing, darkness had descended like a spell around them.

"Spotters, don't move," Ron whispered, his hand on his chest.The rat was struggling frantically.Scabbers was clearly terrified, struggling with all his might to break free from Ron's grasp. "What's the matter with it?" But Harry had just seen Crookshanks stalking towards them, low on the ground, his yellow eyes glowing eerily in the dark.Either it could see them, or it could have heard Scabbers' screams following them, Harry couldn't tell which was the case.

Crookshanks was obviously a normal cat. Could it be that Scabbers was afraid of it? Augustus had doubts in his eyes. Even after transforming, it is impossible for a wizard to be afraid of an ordinary cat. It is its natural enemy after transformation, which is really weird.

Crookshanks!" Hermione wailed, "Don't come, go away.Crookshanks! Get away!" But the cat came closer. "Scabbets...don't!" It's too late...the mouse slipped through Ron's fingers, fell to the ground and ran away. Lukeshan jumped and gave chase, and Harry and Hermione had no time to stop him.

Augustus frowned slightly, took out his wand, and volleyed down with a huge palm, catching Scabbers running into the darkness. The mouse was obviously terrified, and kept struggling in the air. The ground kept trying to jump up and catch Banban who was imprisoned in the air.

Ron let out a long sigh of relief, walked up to Augustus, and said gratefully, "Mr. Augustus, thank you very much. If you don't take action, in such a dark environment, I'm afraid we won't know if we can find Banban again." What time is it?"

Augustus waved his hand casually, and handed the mouse to Ron, "It's okay, but you still need to be careful, it seems that it is very reluctant to go back to school now."

Ron nodded and put Scabbers back in his pocket.

Hermione gasped, "We'd better go back, Dumbledore...the Minister...they're coming out soon..."

But before they could hide themselves, or even catch their breath, they heard the sound of huge paws tapping the ground, and something was coming towards them from the darkness...a black-furred creature with pale eyes Big dog.

Harry reached for his wand, but it was too late... The dog jumped, its front paws already on his chest.He rolled back quickly, he felt its hot breath, saw the inch-long teeth.. but the dog pounced too hard and rolled over him.Dazzled, Harry felt as if his ribs were broken, and he tried to stand; he could hear the dog whirling and whirling in circles, ready to attack again.Ron stood up.The dog sprang at them again, Ron pushed Harry aside, and the dog bit Ron's outstretched arm.Harry lunged forward and grabbed a handful of the dog's fur, but the dog dragged Ron along effortlessly, as if Ron were a rag doll.

Strangely, Augustus did not make any movements. He squinted his eyes slightly and stared at the scene in front of him. His slender figure cast a mottled light and shadow under the dim moonlight. He quietly looked at the big black dog in front of him. Ron dragged himself into the darkness, fingers tapping his robes lightly.

There was anxiety in Harry's eyes, and he was about to speak when he suddenly realized that Augustus's wand was pointing at him, a dangerous light gathered at the tip of the wand, Harry looked at Augustus in disbelief, his mind went blank, His lips became a little pale, and the next moment, a bright red light flashed, and Harry's dark green pupils were slightly frightened.
