Chapter 41: Thestrals

"Here" Ron said handing Harry, Hermione and (Y/n) their wands back.

"How'd you get out?" Harry asked them.

"Well he stunned two of them" Ron said pointing to (Y/n) "then Neville pulled off a really good Impediment jinx, but Ginny topped it off. She got Malfoy with a bat boggy hex it was amazing."

"How'd your find us?" Harry asked him.

"We saw you heading into the forest out of the window, Er well hole now, in Umbridge's office." Ron explained looking at (Y/n).

"You blew a hole in the school!" Hermione said to (Y/n) with a hint of anger in her voice.

"Well it was only Umbridge's office." (Y/n) said avoiding her eyes.

"Where is Umbridge anyway?" Ginny asked them.

"She uh got carried away" (Y/n) said with a slight chuckle.

"She got carried away with what?" Richie asked him.

"No seriously she got carried away, by a herd of centaurs" (Y/n) told them.

"What and they just left you alone?" Ginny asked surprised.

"Wow it's great to know you're worried about us Gin" (Y/n) said to her, crossing his arms. Ginny glared at him.

"Grawp drove them off" Harry said absent minded.

"Who's Grawp?" Luna asked in her dreamy voice.

"Hagrid's baby brother" (Y/n) said to her.

"Well how are we getting to London anyway?" Ron asked.

"Well we'll have to fly won't we" Luna said, staring off into the forest.

"I've got a broom!" Ginny said quickly.

"Yeah so do I" Richie added.

"Uh actually you don't mate" (Y/n) said to him, before opening up his arm and pulling Richie's broom out of it.

"Bloody hell! Stop stealing my stuff (N/n)!" Richie said to (Y/n) punching him in the arm. "What else've you got in there?" He then asked him interested.

"Uh I don't know actually, let me see..." (Y/n) said shoving the broom back into his arm and then sticking his other hand into his arm and rummaging around in it.

"Let's see a few fireworks, Malfoy's prefect badge, a pair of glasses I nicked, couple of Umbridge's weird cat plates, a where's Wally book, a beater's bat, huh strange could've sworn I had a blast-ended skrewt in here..."

(Y/n) was completely distracted now, pulling varies things out of his arm. "Really need to clean this" he muttered.

"Just ignore him" Harry said to the others. "Anyway you four aren't coming"

"Why not?" Ginny said crossing her arms and glaring at him. "I care what happens to Sirius just as much as you do!"

"Yeah but you're too-" Harry started but Ginny interrupted him.

"I'm three years older than you were when you fought You Know Who for the Philosopher's stone! And who jinxed Malfoy back there?" Ginny said to Harry annoyed and angry.

"Yeah but-" Harry tried to say again before he was interrupted by Neville.

"We were all in the DA together" Neville said defensively. "It was all about fighting You Know Who wasn't it?"

"FOUND IT!" (Y/n) suddenly cried pulling a small blast-ended skrewt out of his arm. "Ow bugger!" He said as he was stung in the hand, dropping the skrewt who ran off into the forest.

"NO GARRY! COME BACK!" (Y/n) yelled and he started to chase after the Skrewt, but Hermione stopped him.

"(Y/n), focus please" Hermione said to him.

"Oh yeah, so what're we talking about?" (Y/n) asked them.

"We're figuring out how we're going to get to the Ministry" Ginny said.

"Yeah US" Ron said emphasizing the word and pointing to (Y/n), Harry, Hermione and himself.

"No way if you're going I'm going!" Richie said definitely to (Y/n).

"No" (Y/n) said back to him bluntly. Richie stared at him startled for a second.

"W-What? Why not?" He asked him confused, obviously having thought that (Y/n) would back him up.

"Because I said so, it's too dangerous" (Y/n) told him not budging an inch.

"We want to help" Neville said interrupting the twins.

"Yeah we're coming Harry" Ginny said.

"And there's nothing you can say about it" Richie said glaring at (Y/n).

"Please don't..." (Y/n) pleaded futilely.

"FINE!" Harry said annoyed. "Fine you can come but it doesn't matter anyway, we still don't have a way to get there-"

"I thought we'd settled that?" Luna interrupted "We're flying!"

"Look" Ron said annoyed "maybe you can fly without a broom or a wand, but the rest of us can't!"

"There are other ways to flying without a broomstick" Luna said mysteriously.

"I suppose we're going to fly on the back of the crumple stork horn or whatever it is!" Ron snapped at Luna.

"The Crumpled Horn Snorkack can't fly" Luna said to Ron "but they can, and Hagrid said they're very good at finding places" Luna said pointing into the trees.

"Of course!" (Y/n) said staring at a pair of Thestrals that had appeared in the between the trees.

"Is it those creepy horse thingies?" Ron asked staring off in the wrong directions. "The ones your can only see if you've watched someone snuff it."

"Yeah" Harry said watching the two Thestrals.

"How many?" Hermione asked uncertainly, also looking in the wrong direction.

"Just two" (Y/n) said.

"Well we need four" Ron said.

"Five actually" Ginny said angrily.

"Actually" Luna said counting "I believed there are eight of us."

"Look you four" Harry said pointing to Neville, Ginny, Luna and Richie. "This doesn't involve you"

The four of them burst into protest. "Fine then but that's your choice!" Harry snapped at them. "But either way we're going to need more Thestrals."

"Yeah at least six more" Ron said, still not looking the right way.

"Good job Ronald you can count" (Y/n) said, sarcastically slow clapping. "Anyway we only need five more 'Mione and I can share"

For some reason Ron seemed to get upset by this, he scowled and glared at (Y/n).

They waited around for a while and soon five more Thestrals appeared, and Luna, Neville, Harry and (Y/n) helped the other onto their Thestrals.

"Alright ready 'Mione?" (Y/n) asked her.

"You know I'm not too sure..." she said in a small scared voice.

"Don't worry love, I'm right here" (Y/n) said, gaining another glare from Ron.

And the Thestrals spread their wings and took to the skies, Hermione let out a slight scream, grabbed tightly onto (Y/n)'s waist and burrowed her head into his back.
