  〃Wan' some tea?〃 he said。 His great hands were shaking as he reached for the kettle。
  〃Where's Buckbeak; Hagrid?〃 said Hermione hesitantly。
  I  I took him outside;〃 said Hagrid; spilling milk all over the table as he filled up the jug。 〃He's tethered in me pumpkin patch。 Thought he oughta see the trees an'  an' smell fresh air  before
  Hagrid's hand trembled so violently that the milk jug slipped from his grasp and shattered all over the floor。
  〃I'll do it; Hagrid;〃 said Hermione quickly; hurrying over and starting to clean up the mess。
  〃There's another one in the cupboard;〃 Hagrid said; sitting down and wiping his forehead on his sleeve。 Harry glanced at Ron; who looked back hopelessly。
  〃Isn't there anything anyone can do; Hagrid?〃 Harry asked fiercely; sitting down next to him。 〃Dumbledore 〃
  〃He's tried;〃 said Hagrid。 〃He's got no power ter overrule the mittee。 He told 'em Buckbeak's all right; but they're scared。。。。 Yeh know what Lucius Malfoy's like。。。 threatened 'em; I expect。。。 an' the executioner; Macnair; he's an old pal o' Malfoy's。。。 but it'll be quick an' clean。。。 an' I'll be beside him。。。。 〃
  Hagrid swallowed。 His eyes were darting all over the cabin as though looking for some shred of hope or fort。
  〃Dumbledore's gonna e down while it  while it happens。 Wrote me this mornin'。 Said he wants ter  ter be with me。 Great man; Dumbledore。。。。〃
  Hermione; who had been rummaging in Hagrid's cupboard for another milk jug; let out a small; quickly stifled sob。 She straightened up with the new jug in her hands; fighting back tears。
  〃We'll stay with you too; Hagrid;〃 she began; but Hagrid shook his shaggy head。
  〃Yeh're ter go back up ter the castle。 I told yeh; I don' wan' yeh watchin'。 An' yeh shouldn' be down here anyway。。。 If Fudge an' Dumbledore catch yeh out without permission; Harry; yeh'll be in big trouble。〃
  Silent tears were now streaming down Hermione's face; but she hid them from Hagrid; bustling around making tea。 Then; as she picked up the milk bottle to pour some into the jug; she let out a shriek。
  〃Ron; I don't believe it  it's Scabbers!〃
  Ron gaped at her。
  〃What are you talking about?〃
  Hermione carried the milk jug over to the table and turned it upside down。 With a frantic squeak; and much scrambling to get back inside; Scabbers the rat came sliding out onto the table。
  〃Scabbers!〃 said Ron blankly。 〃Scabbers; what are you doing here?〃
  He grabbed the struggling rat and held him up to the light。 Scabbers looked dreadful。 He was thinner than ever; large tufts of hair had fallen out leaving wide bald patches; and he writhed in Ron's hands as though desperate to free himself
  〃It's okay; Scabbers!〃 said Ron。 〃No cats! There's nothing here to hurt you!〃
  Hagrid suddenly stood up; his eyes fixed on the window。 His normally ruddy face had gone the color of parchment。
  〃They're in'。。。。〃
  Harry; Ron; and Hermione whipped around。 A group of men was walking down the distant castle steps。 In front was Albus Dumbledore; his silver beard gleaming in the dying sun。 Next to him trotted Cornelius Fudge。 Behind them came the feeble old mittee member and the executioner; Macnair。
  〃Yeh gotta go;〃 said Hagrid。 Every inch of him was trembling。 〃They mustn' find yeh here。。。。 Go now。。。〃
  Ron stuffed Scabbers into his pocket and Hermione picked up the cloak。 〃I'll let yeh out the back way;〃 said Hagrid。
  They followed him to the door into his back garden。 Harry felt strangely unreal; and even more so when he saw Buckbeak a few yards away; tethered to a tree behind Hagrid's Pumpkin patch。 Buckbeak seemed to know something was happening。 He turned his sharp head from side to side and pawed the ground nervously。
  〃It's okay; Beaky;〃 said Hagrid softly。 〃It's okay。。。〃 He turned to Harry; Ron; and Hermione。 〃Go on;〃 he said。 〃Get goin'。〃
  But they didn't move。
  〃Hagrid; we can't 〃
  〃We'll tell them what really happened 〃
  〃They can't kill him 〃
  〃Go!〃 said Hagrid fiercely。 〃It's bad enough without you lot in trouble an' all!〃
  They had no choice。 As Hermione threw the cloak over Harry and Ron; they heard voices at the front of the cabin。 Hagrid looked at the place where they had just vanished from sight。
  〃Go quick;〃 he said hoarsely。 〃Don' listen。。。。〃
  And he strode back into his cabin as someone knocked at the front door。
  Slowly; in a kind of horrified trance; Harry; Ron; and Hermione set off silently around Hagrid's house。 As they reached the other side; the front door closed with a sharp snap。
  〃Please; let's hurry;〃 Hermione whispered。 〃I can't stand it; I can't bear it。。。。〃
  They started up the sloping lawn toward the castle。 The sun was sinking fast now; the sky had turned to a clear; purple…tinged grey; but to the west there was a ruby…red glow。
  Ron stopped dead。
  〃Oh; please; Ron;〃 Hermione began。
  〃It's Scabbers  he won't  stay put 〃
  Ron was bent over; trying to keep Scabbers in his pocket; but the rat was going berserk; squeaking madly; twisting and flailing; trying to sink his teeth into Ron's hand。
  〃Scabbers; it's me; you idiot; it's Ron;〃 Ron hissed。
  They heard a door open behind them and men's voices。
  〃Oh; Ron; please let's move; they're going to do it!〃 Hermione breathed。
  〃Okay  Scabbers; stay put 〃
  They walked forward; Harry; like Hermione; was trying not to listen to the rumble of voices behind them。 Ron stopped again。
  〃I can't hold him  Scabbers; shut up; everyone'll hear us 〃
  The rat was squealing wildly; but not loudly enough to cover up the sounds drifting from Hagrid's garden。 There was a jumble of indistinct male voices; a silence; and then; without warning; the unmistakable swish and thud of an axe。
  Hermione swayed on the spot。
  〃They did it!〃 she whispered to Harry。 〃I d  don't believe it  they did it!〃
  CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
  CAT; RAT; AND DOG
  Harry's mind had gone blank with shock。 The three of them stood transfixed with horror under the Invisibility Cloak。 The very last rays of the setting sun were casting a bloody light over the long… shadowed grounds。 Then; behind them; they heard a wild howling。
  〃Hagrid;〃 Harry muttered。 Without thinking about what he was doing; he made to turn back; but both Ron and Hermione seized his arms。
  〃We can't;〃 said Ron; who was paper…white。 〃He'll be in worse trouble if they know we've been to see him。。。。〃
  Hermione's breathing was shallow and uneven。
  〃How  could  they?〃 she choked。 〃How could they?〃
  〃e on;〃 said Ron; whose teeth seemed to be chattering。
  They set off back toward the castle; walking slowly to keep themselves hidden under the cloak。 The light was fading fast now。
  By the time they reached open ground; darkness was settling like a spell around them。
  〃Scabbers; keep still;〃 Ron hissed; clamping his hand over his chest。 The rat was wriggling madly。 Ron came to a sudden halt; trying to force Scabbers deeper into his pocket。 〃What's the matter with you; You stupid rat? Stay still  OUCH! He bit me!〃
  〃Ron; be quiet!〃 Hermione whispered urgently。 〃Fudge'll be out here in a minute 〃
  〃He won't  stay  put 〃
  Scabbers was plainly terrified。 He was writhing with all his might; trying to break free of Ron's grip。
  〃What's the matter with him?〃
  But Harry had just seen  stinking toward them; his body low to the ground; wide yellow eyes glinting eerily in the darkness  Crookshanks。 Whether he could see them or was following the sound of Scabbers's squeaks; Harry couldn't tell。
  〃Crookshanks!〃 Hermione moaned。 〃No; go away; Crookshanks! Go away!〃
  But the cat was getting nearer 
  〃Scabbers  NO!〃
  Too late  the rat had slipped between Ron's clutching fingers; hit the ground; and scampered away。 In one bound; Crookshanks sprang after him; and before Harry or Hermione could stop him; Ron had thrown the Invisibility Cloak off himself and pelted away into the darkness。
  〃Ron!〃 Hermione moaned。
  She and Harry looked at each other; then followed at a sprint; it 〃〃as impossible to run full out under the cloak; they pulled it off and it streamed behind them like a banner as they hu
