No. Harry and Hermione saw what they _thought_ was Buckbeak getting
killed. It's very frustrating to explain, because the films explain it
so much better so that people think it's something unique to the films
which are of course off-topic here, but it IS the case in the books if
you read it carefully.

Well, no, but maybe they could alter history and fake his death within
the parameters of what was actually witnessed [there are some
fanfiction stories with such a thing happening with his parents or
with sirius]
