"What!" all three of screamed at once.
"It-"
"How-"
"But-"
"Wooowwwww there, hold on!" exclaimed Ginny. "Look, I'll tell you this: it's not going to blow up or anything but the driver is outside and he's going to tell us how long we have to wait till it's back to normal."
They got out and took a place on a huge rock. They waited till the driver came out. He, like Ginny, was covered in ash and was coughing.
"We 'ar having uh, some technical difficulties. But it should be fixed up in an hour or two. You can go around this forest while we fix this up. When we're done, I'll send up red sparks. Try not to wander too far. Off you go then," with that he went back inside the train.
There was a murmur at this. Two hours? What was going to happened to them?
"Ah-oh. Mum's going to be worried sick…" said Ron.
"This never happened before…" said Hermione.
"Come on. Lets go around the forest. It's going to take a while to fix this train," said Harry.
So all three of them (Ginny wanted to stay with Luna and Neville) went inside the forest. It was cool. They never wondered what the forest could've contained. It had trees higher than any at the forbidden forest. But they didn't find any magnificent creatures. There were just the usual squirrel's and birds. But there were many types of flowers and plants.
"Imagine…every tree has its own history," said Hermione looking around the magnificent forest.
"Yeah, hey look at this one," said Ron pointing to the tree in front of him. It was blue, like a sapphire. It was beautiful, taller than any of the other trees and wider as well.
"Wow, it's beautiful," whispered Harry.
"It is…beautiful sapphire…" said Hermione.
They went up and started touching it. It was smooth and strong. Then there was a vibrating sound. And again, and again, and again.
"Erm…do you hear something?" asked Harry.
"The tree, it's vibrating," said Hermione.
