Chapter 478 Arrested Pettigrew Peter!
The practice test of ancient runes was placed in No. 13 classroom by William.
"First... sir, what are we going to test?"
Dean Thomas, who always liked to chat with William in class, also trembled and used honorifics unconsciously.
"It's very simple. It's all what I have taught in class." William smiled kindly.
He waved his wand, and a row of badges floated over.
"Creating a one-off heat badge will do."
Neither did Willian have them make warm-up badges.If it can emit hot air, it is considered a high score. If the temperature is suitable, it will be a perfect score.
If he can continue to release heat, he will even add an extra [-] points.
But hearing what William said, everyone became visibly nervous.
Watching him do this kind of thing seems very simple, but it is very difficult to do it yourself.
Sure enough, something happened soon.Dean's badge blazed, nearly setting his robes on fire.
Seamus Finnigan waved his wand and the badge exploded, his face blackened.
William happily walked up and down behind the students, holding a quill, and kept marking.
"Oh, sorry, I think you may have to rebuild."
William, like Professor Snape, suppressed his breath and laughed behind Goyle and Crabbe.
There are no changes to the insignia of the duo.
Seeing William's smile, Malfoy's little hand trembled and broke the badge into pieces.
Following Professor McGonagall's example, William pursed his lips and put on a displeased expression.
Malfoy stood on tiptoe, trying to see how low William had scored him.The test was so bad that he couldn't explain it to his father when he got home!
Malfoy thought this was unfair.Can grades measure his effort?
Surprisingly, Daphne performed extremely well.Her badge radiates heat and looks pretty good.
William directly gave full marks.
Seeing that the students had almost left, Daphne asked in a low voice:
"William, do you have time this summer? I happen to have a spare ticket for the World Cup finals, in the box...we..."
"Oh, sorry, I already have a ticket." William declined.
"Oh, well..." Daphne seemed a little disappointed. "Then we will meet again at the World Cup?"
"Of course." William smiled politely.
After Daphne turned and left, Hermione sneaked over.
Her lovely face was full of vigilance.
"That's called Greengrass, invited you to watch the World Cup?" She asked suspiciously.
"It seems to be, probably because there are more tickets, so they are going to sell them to me." William grinned nonsense.
Hermione seemed to be talking to herself:
"Yeah, you guys can watch it together. I'm not very interested in Quidditch. If you are together, there will definitely be a lot of common topics..."
She said sourly: "Greengrass is really beautiful, isn't she... Tsk tsk, if I were a boy, I would definitely like her too."
William stopped the quill and lightly touched Hermione's smooth forehead, and the girl turned her head hard.
William had no choice but to look at the parchment and said softly:
"Let me see... many people have low scores today, and they still need to retake, such as Gore and Crabbe.
In the new semester, I don't need to look at these two idiots anymore. I just lowered the class score for nothing, and gave Professor Snape a chance to mock me.
Yo, here's an extra twenty points?who..."
Shocked, Hermione turned her head again, looked at the parchment eagerly, and asked softly, "Is it my grade?"
William suppressed a smile and said, "Oh, it seems to be Daphne's grade..."
Hermione's eyes widened, shock, grievance, resentment, and sadness all appeared on her face one by one.
"Ha, you lied!" William handed the parchment to Hermione.
After she took it, she quickly checked it.
Hermione Granger: 120 points.
The girl's originally gloomy face was radiant.
Hermione raised her head and asked in surprise, "Is this okay?"
"Of course, Flitwick and Professor McGonagall give me an extra twenty points every time." William said seriously.
"You are the only student who can make warm-up badges steadily, which fully meets the bonus standard."
"Besides, I'm the teacher of this class. If I say yes, I can... Teachers always give preference to good students."
"Yes, I think so too." Hermione nodded vigorously, her tone suddenly brightened.
William secretly peered at her profile, watching the dimples that emerged.
She couldn't take her eyes off, and asked, "There are a lot of test papers on ancient runes, right?"
"Of course." William said, "It's all translation. I'll correct it by myself. It will probably take a long time to correct it."
"It's decided!" Hermione suddenly said loudly:
"I won't be going back to the dormitory tonight. I'll stay in the Room of Requirement...to accompany you to correct your papers."
William nodded vigorously, "Yeah!"
……
……
After walking out of the classroom, the sun had already set.
William and Hermione walked across the grass to Hagrid's cabin.Today is Buckbeak's execution day, and William has made an appointment with Fudge.
"Have you finished your exam?" Hagrid opened the door listlessly.
William nodded.
After entering the cabin, unexpectedly, Harry and Ron were also here with Hagrid.
"Harry, you shouldn't be here." Hermione frowned and said seriously.
"The sun's gone down, you should be in the castle instead of running around in the cloak...Peter he might be..."
"It's Peter again...he died 12 years ago!" Harry, who was sitting on the chair, couldn't help but angrily said.
"Also, you and William can come, why can't we come! I don't think there is any danger!"
"Speak politely, Harry!" William said coldly.
"Of course Hermione and I can come, I'm still the acting teacher of ancient runes in the third grade.
According to safety regulations, only the teacher can take the students out of the castle after dark.
Are you and Ron teachers too?
Or do you think that your strength is already strong enough to ignore Black?
I remember, the last time I sneaked to Hogsmeade, the two of you added one piece, only 250 points were deducted, right? "
Harry opened his mouth, speechless.
William ignored the pair of two hundred and five. If Peter caught Harry, it would be his own death.
William looked at Hagrid. "Is Fudge here?"
"I think it's coming soon, the execution is after dark..." Hagrid whispered.
"I asked Dumbledore, and he said that there is no way to change the committee's decision. William... is there really no problem?"
"No problem, I'm here." William assured.
Hagrid stood up suddenly, staring out the window.His rosy face suddenly turned into the withered yellow of parchment.
"They're here..."
In the distance, a group of men were descending the stone steps of the castle.In the lead was Dumbledore, his silver beard gleaming in the afterglow of the setting sun.
At his side was Minister Fudge, and behind him the frail old councilor and executioner McNeil.
"You have to go." Hagrid trembled. "It's forbidden to come out at night, and they must not find you here... Come on, now..."
Harry picked up his Invisibility Cloak and threw it over Ron, who looked up.
William and Hermione had gone one step earlier, using the Disillusionment Charm, and disappeared into the room.
A group of people came and stood at the door of Hagrid's cabin.
"Where did that beast go?" the axeman McNeil asked in a cold voice.
"Out…outside," said Hagrid hoarsely.
Fudge said loudly, "We've seen the monster... oh... come on, we must read the official announcement of the execution, Hagrid.
I will read very carefully, you have to listen carefully.We'll have another cup of pine nut tea, and then we'll dispose of the damn beast. "
Several people walked into the hut, and Fudge's voice came from inside.
"The Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures has decided that Buckbeak the Hippogriff, hereinafter called the Convicted, shall be executed at sunset on June [-]th..."
William and Hermione emerged slowly, and they walked quietly towards the pumpkin patch.
Buckbeak stared fiercely with orange eyes.
Hermione looked nervously at Buckbeak, recalling what Hagrid taught in class, and bowed slightly.
Buckbeak hesitated for a moment, bent his scaly knees, and stood upright again.
With a wave of William's wand, the rope tied to the fence fell off automatically.
"Okay, that's it. Let's get that monster out of the way."
From Hagrid's cabin came the high-pitched voices of the committee members.
"Wait, don't be in such a hurry, McNeill." After reading the announcement, Fudge said loudly:
"We walked so far, drink some pine nut tea to moisten our throats."
Holding a teacup, he walked to the door and looked towards the pumpkin patch.
Fudge saw William and Hermione.The two had already untied the rope and slowly pulled Buckbeak.
He obviously breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that William was delayed.
"Mr. Minister, is that animal still there?" McNeill's impatient voice sounded.
"Of course, it's still there!" Fudge raised his hand, signaling the two to leave quickly, and he turned and went into the house again.
He doesn't do things after receiving money. From now on, he is also a good minister with a bottom line of morality!
Most importantly, Malfoy didn't know about it, and he couldn't be blamed.
"Let's go." William whispered in Hermione's ear.
The two sent Buckbeak to safety, and William cast the Disillusionment Charm again.
A moment later, there was a roar from Hagrid's cabin.
"Someone has untied the rope!" roared the executioner. "We should search the grounds, and the woods..."
"Who stole it? I suspect it was Black!" Fudge also roared.
William and Hermione, who had already crossed the grass, exchanged glances and laughed.
When they were about to reach the castle, they saw a large crowd gathered together, making a commotion there.
Annie squeezed out from the crowd and walked over quickly.
"What happened?" Hermione wondered.
"It's Peter!" said Anne in shock.
"Someone got Pettigrew Peter!"
"Who...who caught it?"
"Harry and Ron!"
