A rustle was heard in the bushes behind Umbridge. We looked at each other then where the noise came from. Umbridge was noticeably scared. We could take advantage of her right now while she's scared and off guard. I stealthily pulled my wand out ready to paralyze her but Hermione made me stand down.

Umbridge hid behind us as a centaur came out from the bushes. "You have no business being here this is strictly ministry business." She says shakily. More centaurs appeared from behind the one. I took a step away from Umbridge. Hagrid told us they were furious with her taking away their land so I knew once they saw her they were going to do something.

One of them shot an arrow but Umbridge deflected it. Even though she was riled up and scared she still talked down to them. Calling them disgusting half-breeds and other names. She made a rope snake around the centaur that shot an arrow and choked him. He fell to the ground as he desperately tried prying the rope off of him. Hermione ran to his aid and tried helping, once she saw it was no use she begged Umbridge to stop the rope from killing him.

I used my wand to burn the rope off of him carefully making sure I wouldn't get his skin. Once I got the rope off him he quickly got back on his feet. "Get back all of you! Do as I say! I must have order!" She demanded. Grawby came from behind and picked up Umbridge by her pink jacket. She screamed as she was caught off guard.

The centaurs ran past us and got ready to shoot their arrows at Umbridge who was in Grawby's hand. They desperately tried poking, stabbing, and shooting her as Grawby looked at them confused. He then dropped Umbridge into the crowd of Centaurs. She let out a scream as she fell, Harry dragged us away and to safety. "Make sure she's dead when you're done with her!" I yell out to the centaurs.

They tied her up as she begged Harry to call them off. "I'm sorry but I must not tell lies." He said with a serious face. They finished tying her up and dragged her off further into the forbidden forest as she screamed. Once she was out of sight we ran back to Hogwarts to get Harry to Dumbledore. We met up with Ron, Luna, and Neville on the bridge.

"How'd you guys get away?" Hermione asks referring to the Slytherins who were holding them.

"Ron ate some puking pastels." Neville said out of breath.

"Yeah, I told them I wanted some sweets and I ate some. Once it happened it grossed them out enough for us to get away." Ron said huffing.

"It was brilliant honestly." Neville said.

"I guess I don't have the emotional range of a teaspoon huh Hermione?" Ron asks.

"That's not even close to what I meant by that analogy." Hermione sighed as she rubbed the bridge of her nose.

"Back to the topic on hand." I interrupted motioning to Harry.

Once we all settled on us going with Harry to London to help him we had one problem left. Transportation. Luna had the idea of flying to London and it was the only and best idea to use. We all went back to the forbidden forest where the thestrals were and bribed them with meat so they'd give us a ride. "What the bloody hell are you feeding?" Ron asks scared. I fed the Thestral raw meat as I stroked its head. "A Thestral." I reply.

They were the most misunderstood creature which made them my favorite and they're super cute too. "What's a Thestral!?" Ron asks. "It's a skeletal horse with black skin. Only those who've seen death can see them." Hermione explains as we get on them. "You've seen death?" Ron asks still shocked. "Too much." I stated simply.
