Harry Does Canon, and loves it by fvdv123

Chapter 18

Disclaimer:

Mrs. J.K., you know I hate lose-ends, and want to finish all my stories; the problem is doing the story justice. I reckon two chapters to end this one… I hope. They are still your puppets though, I just let them shag on my tunes.

Previous:

A castle at the center was deserted, inside we found the notes from the last owner:

To whoever finds this space, don't trust the centaurs, they may seem like dreamers that look at the stars, but are responsible for sealing this realm from the outside.

They claimed it is theirs because it is located on their grounds, although it was here before they moved into this forest. I hope my little Rowena is doing fine outside, it was a small blessing she and her mother were outside when those blasted half-horses sealed me in.

My last request is to bury my body and notify any offspring of this realm. Even when you will not allow them to have the realm, please let them have this castle and the surrounding grounds.

I asked the girls: "Does Rowena have any relatives? Worse… I think it is better we leave here before those horse asses seal us in here like they did with Lord Ravenclaw."

18 Dimensions

We apparated to the exit, arriving there we felt the portal closing, I shouted: "Take your Animagus form and force yourself through!"

As a Nemean Lion, we could resist the magic that wanted to keep us in and force our way out. Eight of us managed to make it outside, the entrance of the pocket dimension was surrounded by Centaurs armed with bows.

I did not hesitate and attacked the leaders and the arrogant one I recognized from last year, eight angry Nemean lions made quick work of the Centaurs, soon twenty of them were badly hurt and could not sustain the ritual to close the pocket dimension. When the rest of the girls forced their way out, the Centaurs laid down in submission.

We changed back to normal, and I faced Magorian: "Answer me you stupid mule, why did you risk your herd by attacking me? Did I ever wrong you or your herd? Did you forget who got rid of those Acromantula?"

Magorian said with a sigh: "The stars told us that if we did not succeed in closing the portal our herd would face hardship."

Luna walked to him and slapped his face: "Ignorant fools! There is always another way to look at prophecies. What did the stars tell you what happens when you don't do anything? You just didn't ask, isn't it? They would have told you that you could live in harmony in that pocket dimension with us."

Daphne stood next to me and spoke: "The Centaurs of ages ago committed treason against the owners of these grounds, we could forgive that. Not this. You planned to trap us inside, no doubt you are cooperating with others, you better tell us who and why."

Magorian answered: "The Ministry, the Department of regulating Magical creatures. They promised us to contact other herds and exchange mares without cost."

Luna mocked him: "Pathetic stargazers! You only read in the stars what you want to believe! You should have looked at what future our husband could offer you. Our husband is changing the wizarding world, and you just made yourself outcasts by attacking us."
