Chapter 40: The Forest

"So Malfoy are we going to do this the easy way or the hard way?" (Y/n) asked him.

"You're one to talk" Malfoy sneered looking down at him.

"Last chance to let us go" (Y/n) said to him.

"Oh yeah (L/n)? What are you going to do? You're wandless, and I have your wand, Potter's wand and my ow-" Malfoy started before patting his robes looking for his wand.

"Looking for this?" (Y/n) said standing up and pulling out Malfoy's wand. He stunned two of the Slytherins.

Ginny stepped on the girl holding her and grabbed her wand back. Soon a duel started in the room, and in the mayhem (Y/n) ran to the window, pointed his wand at it, yelled "Reducto" and jumped out of the hole in the wall....

"It's in Hagrid's hut isn't it?" Umbridge asked eagerly.

"Of course not" Hermione said continuing to walk "he might have set it off accidentally"

"Yes" Umbridge said maliciously "yes he would have done the great half breed oaf. Well then where is it?"

"I'm there of course" Hermione said pointing towards the forest. "It has to be somewhere students weren't going to accidentally find it"

"Of course.... of course well lead on then" Umbridge said sounding annoyed.

"Is that it there!" Umbridge said excitedly pointing to a raven, with an oddly metallic looking left wing, that had just landed on Hermione's shoulder.

"Of course not Professor." Hermione said bluntly "that's a bird"

"Oh well yes I suppose so" Umbridge said, sounding scared.

They kept walk for a while long before Umbridge lost her patience.

"Well then where is it!" Umbridge demanded. "There isn't a weapon is there?" She asked Hermione angrily.

"You were trying to trick me weren't you? Weren't you!" She shouted at Hermione and Harry.

"Who are you!" A booming voice demanded.

Umbridge wheeler around, her wand raised, to face the source of the voice.

"I will ask you again who are you?" A centaur asked again.

"I am Dolores Umbridge, Senior Undersecretary to the Minister of Magic and the High Inquisitor and headmistress of Hogwarts!" She cried in a high pitched voice.

"You are from the Ministry then!" The centaur boomed at her.

"That's right! Now be careful! Under the laws laid down by the Department of Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, any attack by a half breed such as yourselves on a human—" Umbridge cried at them, her wand shaking in her hand.

"What did you call us!" Another centaur shouted are her.

"Please don't call them that" Hermione begged Umbridge.

"Law fifteen B clearly states that 'Any attack by a magical creature who is deemed to have near-human intelligent, and therefore considered for its actions—" Umbridge continued, her wand shaking more.

"Near-human intelligence!" Roared one of the centaurs. That is a great insult to us!"

"What are you doing in our forest! Why are you here!" Demanded another centaur.

"Your Forest?" She said incredulously "let me remind you that you live here only because the Ministry of Magic permits you certain areas of land—"

An arrow flew so close that it caught her hair cut her off mid sentence. Umbridge let out an earsplitting scream, and the centaurs roared with laughter.

"You filthy half breeds!" She yelled before another arrow was shot at her, but she was able to deflect it with her wand.

"Beasts!" She yelled, pointing her wand at one of the centaurs and shouted "Incarcerous" and thick ropes flew into the air and wrapped themselves around the centaur.

"No!!" Hermione screamed running to the centaur, and the raven flew from her shoulder and attempted to peck at Umbridge's eyes. Umbridge magically threw the raven into a tree where in crumpled to the ground.

"I will have order!" She screamed as the centaurs charged at her. She cast a few spells at them, but eventually the centaurs got to her and carried her off into the forest as she weakly yelling "no!"

"What about them?" A centaur said pointing to Harry and Hermione.

"They are young we do not hurt foals" another piped up.

"They are not that young, this one is nearing manhood" another said pointing to Harry.

"This one too" another said pointing to (Y/n) who had appeared slumped on the ground near a tree rubbing his head.

"Please" Hermione said scared "please don't attack us we don't think like her we aren't Ministry of Magic employees! We only came here because we hoped you'd drive her off for us-"

"You see! They already have the arrogance of their kind! So we were to do your dirty work, were we girl? To act as your servants!"

"No no! Please it's not like that at all! We just thought you could help us!" Hermione cried to them.

The centaurs approached Hermione, and at this (Y/n) sprang up and ran in front of her, putting his fists up.

"Are you going to attack us? Three unarmed kids!" (Y/n) said to them.

"We haven't done anything!" Hermione cried to them, tears running down her cheeks "we haven't used wands it threats or anything! We just want to go back to the school! Please!"

Just then the centaurs backed swayed from them, and (Y/n) could hear something large nearby.

"Hagger!" Grawp cried walking in from the trees.

"Hagger!" He cried again, looking down at them.

"Get away from here giant you are not welcome!" One of the centaurs shouted at him.

"HAGGER!"

"I think he's trying to say Hagrid" Hermione whispered to (Y/n).

Grawp lowered his face down closer and then said "Hermy!" In his deep bellowing voice.

"Hermy! Where Hagger!" He bellowed to Hermione.

"I'm sorry Grawp, I don't know" Hermione said shaking in (Y/n)'s arms.

"It's okay Grawpy, he'll be back soon!" (Y/n) called to him.

"GRAWP WANT HAGGER!"

Just then a centaur let loose his arrow from his bow, which caused the others to follow suit. Soon there were at least fifty arrows flying towards Grawp's face.

"Leave him alone!" (Y/n) yelled at them.

"Come on!" Harry shouted grabbing (Y/n) and Hermione's hands and pulling them away from the centaurs and Grawp.

"What now!" (Y/n) asked Harry after they had distanced themselves from the centaurs.

"Now we get to the Ministry!" Harry said to them angrily.

"How are we going to get there?" Hermione asked him.

"We'll fly" Harry said.

"How mate? We don't have wands or brooms" (Y/n) said.

"You didn't get one earlier!" Harry shouted at him.

"Yeah I did but I dropped it when I transformed!" (Y/n) shouted back at him.

"This might help then" Ron said from behind them holding their wands in his hand.
