Jurassic Woodland 3

Authors Note: I have replaced the first chapter so read it all through please from the start as it makes more sense now. In this chapter we will see Ginny and Collin become ever more lost and learn what Harry and the others are doing to get our favourite red head out of the pickle she has found herself in…..

Don't own a thing!

The last thing Samba remembered was catching a glimpse of Ginny in front of him but as far as where Ginny was now he had no idea. He collapsed against a tree to regain his breath when he heard a thunderous roar. He whipped his wand out and felt more than terrified as he sat there alone.

'Don't panic,' Samba muttered to himself and placed his wand back in his robes 'this isn't real,'

Another thunderous roar echoed and Samba flinched whipping his wand out instantly but his wand arm was shaking with fear. He pointed left and then right searching for the source of the noise. Without wasting any other time he yelled

'Flipendo,'

The leaves and branches to the left of Samba were knocked away and flew in all directions. Samba screamed.

Collin struggled slightly sinking further; he reached for his wand and jabbed at the protruding tree root. Ginny was sinking further despite the fact she was attempting to stand still.

'Stop jabbing it and use your magic,' Ginny said angrily

Collin looked sheepishly at Ginny and yelled

'Engorgio,'

By all accounts it wasn't the smartest thing Ginny had ever suggested as the tree root wasn't exactly a tree root but never the less they were lifted out of the mud just not the way either of them had planned. The supposed tree root grew to enormous size and its tale extended the length of the mud pond and swept Ginny and Collin onto the bank.

'That's not a tree root,' Collin said, quickly getting to his feet and pulling Ginny with him. The now large creature spun round to rear its ugly head, its tale now as long as twelve knight buses.

'Not another one,' Ginny said anxiously and ran as fast as she possibly could away from the now large reptilian creature and grabbing Collin as se went. The creature roared thunderously and chased after them snarling and growling as it raced after them.

They raced up to a ridge covered in ice and grass patches, the foliage was little and sparse in places but Ginny flung herself over the ridge with Collin in hot pursuit. They tumbled down the side of the valley to find themselves in the most peculiar surroundings that they'd ever seen.

'The ancient magics can surely be broken,' Harry urged, Minerva McGonagall sat at her desk hardly daring to believe that once yet again a dangerous item had somehow passed into the hands of the young witches and wizards at Hogwarts.

'This must stop,' she stated, heaving a sigh she lifted her hand and stroked the beautiful eagle owl that sat on her desk. 'I would very much like to know hwy it is always Hogwarts and never Beauxbatons or Durmstrang, Mr Potter,'

'Same as always I suppose,' Harry said shrugging 'Hogwarts holds more magic than any other place in the world, the founders four are-'

'I have read Hogwarts a History, Mr Potter,' Minerva snapped almost impatiently 'and I have a suspicion that your involvement with Miss Weasley may have caused this-'

'Come off it,' Harry retorted 'Voldermort has been gone for almost a year, why would someone want to hurt Ginny now?'

'You are sometimes the biggest prat I've ever had the pleasure of knowing,' Ron Weasley said angrily from beside Minerva. 'Its you isn't it, you're the one who lifted the curses and-'

'But Ron, why-'

'Don't look at me mate, but Ginny always seems to take the flak for you,' Ron persisted 'and Ginny is only in this mess most likely because-'

'Ron don't be stupid,' Hermione interjected 'Minerva surely we could track the magic through the time portal-'

'Time portal,' Harry said perplexed, Hermione gave him a look that told him she had read about it all in a book somewhere.

'In the department of mysteries in the Ministry-'

'Oh no, I'm not going in there again,' Harry interrupted holding his hands up 'you would have to drag me in there by my feet. I refuse to-'

Minerva smiled and remembered fondly how much Harry sounded like his father, James but she shook herself and was reminded that it was Harry stood here and not her former student James Potter.

'Harry, the time portal works easily enough. It's important though you get the right location and since we have no idea where they are-'Hermione began; she picked up the time turner from the desk. 'Or maybe we do,'

'What are these markings,' she mumbled, twiddling it in her fingers and became annoyed with herself when she realised she could not even vaguely recall reading anything in a book about these particular symbols. She ran over them slowly examining the jungle like vines encrusted onto the glowing time turner and came to a horrifying conclusion that she didn't think possible.

'I know where they are,' Hermione breathed 'professor, this is meant to be myth and legend not a reality,'

'Miss Granger, what are you saying,' Minerva replied slowly.

'In Wizarding history they had a dragon period, when dragons ruled the earth or something?' Hermione voiced. Ron was beginning to feel hunger roll over him and as he listened he couldn't help thinking of more pressing matters like where his next meal would come from. Ginny was important but Ron still feeling slightly bitter that it was always Harry who got recognised in the street when they were out together knew that his best friend would be able to rescue Ginny and therefore lunch prayed much more on his mind.
