She felt like she was being squeezed through a tube, everything was passing by her side really fast. Suddenly she came to a halt. She felt light-headed and it took a little while for her to collect her thoughts. She looked around she was on a bridge near a castle which looked old.

"Let's hurry dear Professor McGonagall doesn't like to be kept waiting," the minister was saying.

"Excuse me minister, but where are we and how did we get here," this time she was worried. The situation kept on getting weirder by the second, unknown place, unknown people….

"Call me. Oh! this is Hogwarts dear we just need to check some things here. Also, we apprated ,"the minister said with a laugh.

She said nothing else, she started following the minister. She couldn't think of a reasonable explanation for all this, but she felt something about the minister that made her trust her….like she had always known her. Those shinning brown eyes, that bushy hair, that smile….

"Oh! Professor McGonagall, I am sorry for the unpunctuality," the minister seemed to be a little afraid of the professor.

"I will let it slip Hermione because we have a guest here," the professor seemed stern.

"Professor did you hear what happened."

"I am afraid I did not hear anything."

"Oh, professor it is horrible though we have tried to keep it quiet the prophet still found out. I expect it will be all over the wizarding world tomorrow."

"Please do not make me solve riddles, Hermione."

"Oh it is horrible, professor one of the Patil twins was found murdered…"

She did not hear the rest of the sentence. She was distracted by the horse like creature which was passing by them the other two did not seem to notice it. I was weird she could not describe it in words.

"Excuse me, minister…I mean but what is that creature," she asked hesitantly.

"Which one dear?" the minister asked.

"The ones that are pulling the carriages."

Both the minister and the professor seemed to be shocked.

"They….they are Threstrals dear," the professor answered after a pause.

"Oh, how weird," she felt like she should expect things like these now.

They both looked at her puzzled.
