Chapter 6: The Stampede
Draco couldn't even suppress a scream.
He ran away from his father as silently as he could and hid behind the trunk of an enormous tree.
"Draco, son, where are you?" Came his father's creepy voice.
"Aha! There you are!"
Draco's father had suddenly spotted him by the light of his wand. He took a step forward but as his foot hit the ground, a stampede of brilliantly coloured centaurs galloped into the clearing yelling:
"We warned the humans! We said that no human is allowed in the forest again and you disobeyed us!" Roared the biggest centaur of them all.
"Oh! Do you actually think you can boss a Death Eater around now?" Lucius snorted.
"Shut up you human! Your Lord has been defeated by the bravest, boldest human in the world, Harry Potter! You are nothing now!"
The smile that was stretching across Lucius Malfoy's face gradually morphed into a depressed sort of frown.
"Bane, Rolliver, Thymus surround him!"Ordered the voice of the head centaur.
The centaurs that were called did exactly what their master said and circled in on Lucius.
Now he was scared.
"Magorian, do what you did to that Umbridge woman to this man over here!"Bellowed the leader again.
"A dark brown centaur came out from behind the trees, stood still for a moment and then suddenly broke into a fast run towards Lucius' legs. Magorian's head collided with Malfoy's shins and Lucius was thrown into the air and then landed on Magorian's back with a thump.
All the centaurs broke into a run after that and Lucius new that it was too dangerous to jump off the half-horse, half-man's back. The centaurs carried the Death Eater away and left Draco crouching behind the same enormous tree. Draco ran to his dead mother, lying there with her eyes still open. He gently closed her eyes and spoke to her softly and he didn't know for how long.
That was the last he ever saw of his father.
Or was it?
