BUCKBEAK IS going to be executed.
"He sent me this," Hermione said, holding out the letter.
Rose took it. The parchment was damp, and enormous teardrops had smudged the ink so badly in places that it was very difficult to read.
Dear Hermione,
We lost. I'm allowed to bring him back to Hogwarts. Execution date to be fixed. Beaky has enjoyed London.

Hagrid.
"They can't do this," said Rose. "They can't. Buckbeak isn't dangerous."

He seemed numb with shock at the verdict.
"S'all my fault. Got all tongue-tied. They was all sittin' there in black robes an' I kep' droppin' me notes and forgettin' all them dates yeh looked up fer me, Hermione. An' then Lucius Malfoy stood up an' said his bit, and the Committee jus' did exactly what he told 'em..."
