zgirnius:
This makes sense, and explains any possible discrepancy between 
Snape's account and the other. I think it would be one flick of the 
wand, by the way. I presume he would have used the same spell he 
employed with Lupin in the Shack. That one bound Lupin's wrists, 
ankles, and mouth in one fell swoop. Perhaps the gagging was not a 
separate decision at all.

zgirnius:
I don't think it is stated. At any rate, Fudge would be with 
Dumbledore, whom he was visiting on the occasion of Buckbeak's 
execution. And I presume they would need Dumbledore to provide a room 
in which Black could be secured once he was brought in by Snape, 
since there aren't Dementors at the castle to carry out the sentence  
anyway.
