Harry POV

I woke with a start. I looked around. Where was I? My palms pressed against the ground. It felt bristly. I sat up. I was on a beach. Seagulls flew by and the waves were calm. How long was I here? Then I remembered something.

"RON! HERMIONE!" I panicked. I didn't know where they were. I ran across the beach. I saw a foot behind a rock. I jogged over. It was Ron. He was still passed out. I looked around some more. Where was Hermione? I looked for five minutes when I finally found her near a tree. She was also passed out.

"Hermione? Wake up!" I yelled.

"Har-hum-what?" She looked around, "Huh? Where are we?"

"I have no idea but I found Ron nearby. He's still passed out so I'll need you to help me wake him up."

"Alright."

We ran over to Ron. He was already awake, "There you guys are. Thank goodness I woke up before Hermione used one of her crazy spells." Hermione and I laughed. "Well, where are we now?"

"We're still trying to find out" I replied.

All of a sudden, a dog sort of thing came out of nowhere. It's eyes gleamed red and had monstrous fangs. Frightened, we screamed. "AHHHHHHH! HELPPPPPPPP! HELPPPPPPPPP US!"

I grabbed my wand and yelled "Expelliarmus!" The thing flung backwards. Something bumped into me. It was another one. The one that I hit regained its balance. "Guys! Get your wands!"

"I left mine at my spot," said Ron in a panicked voice.

"Me too!" exclaimed Hermione.

Oh man. What were we supposed to do? I was actually going to be killed and it wasn't going to be by Voldemort. I felt like a coward. Just was I was trying to make a plan, a centaur came by and used a dagger to get rid of them. It sliced them like moving a stick through water. They turned to dust. I watched amazed. "Did you kill them?"

"No" he replied. "They might come back but not for long. They'll be in Tartarus for a long while. My name is Chiron. What are your names?"

"I am Harry Potter. These are my friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley," I pointed to my friends.

"Ah, Mr. Potter. Alas, we finally meet. Come in. We have much to discuss in the big house."
