So here's the second chapter. Sorry it took so long; I was busy with school work. Having to take seven classes is hard. So enjoy. Sorry if there is any OOC and sorry if Hagrid's dialect is wrong. I tried

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or Maximum Ride. If I did it would so be different.

"Max!"

"Oh, no! Max!"

"What's happening? Did Max get grabbed by something?"

I was high up in the air, not using my wings to keep myself there seeing as they were being squished into my back, and there was some giant holding me around my waist like some doll.

I started pounding my fist into his giant hand but it only made the giant pull me closer to its face so it could see me more closely. Next thing it knew its eye was in pain and I was falling towards the ground with the giant's eye ball goop on my fist. I landed on my back with oof. I quickly sprung to my legs ready for either fight or flight.

"Grawp! 'Ou big buffoon! 'Hat are 'ou doing over 'here?!" Came a gruff voice from behind the giant.

We quickly pulled in our wings out of reflex. Grawp, which I presume is the giant's name, moved out of the way to allow a slightly smaller giant through. This one was only about fifteen feet tall. He was only wide enough that I would only be able to spread my arms around half of his body. He also had thick, curly, black hair that was long enough to blend in with his beard.

"Oi! What are 'ou kids doing 'ere?"

We all remained quiet trying to decide to tell whither or not we were in trouble.

"Why do you want to know?" Fang asked.

"Ay, I'm the one asking the questions since you bunch shouldn't even be out 'ere. Why aren't 'ou in class?"

"We aren't students." Angel answered.

"Ariel!" I hissed at her the name she used while we were at Anne's.

"What do 'ou mean 'ou aren't students? If 'ou aren't students then who the bloody hell are ya?" All of a sudden his eyes grew wide. I guess he now knew who we were. He lifted an umbrella that I hadn't noticed before up and pointed it at us. "Ya aren't a bunch of Death Eaters now are ya?" Maybe not.

"What are Death Eaters?" Gazzy asked with a look of interest on his face.

"What do ya mean what are Death Eaters? Surely ya know what Death Eaters are." He looked at us with a look that asked if we were crazy. We seem to get that a lot from grown-ups. "Ya aren't muggles, are ya?

"What are muggles?" Nudge asked this time.

Then Mini-Giant (get it, Mini-Giant, never mind) got a look of fear on his face. "Oh, no. Oh, no. 'Is ain't happenin'. 'Is ain't happenin'. How could some muggle children even get 'ere." He mumbled to himself.

I started motioning behind my back that we were to run on the count of three. When I counted one everyone took off to the left as fast as they could but before we could get very far a giant arm came down in front of us, stopping us in our tracks. I had forgotten about Giant.

"Ey! Don't you run away. 'Ou're coming with me. We can't have 'ou walking in 'ere where 'ou can easily be killed."

"And how do we know you're not going to kill us?" Iggy asked.

"Ah, well, um, there are worse things out 'ere than. Trust me. There is."

I turned to Angel asking her with my mind what this mini-giant's intentions were.

She looked at him for a few seconds before turning towards me. He's telling the truth. He won't hurt us. And there are terrible things out here. I can already feel them. And you don't want to know what they're thinking. She said in my mind.

I gave the barest nod to everyone else who were looking at me. I began moving forward slowly towards Mini-Giant. Seeing this as confirmation he turned around and started heading the way he came from with us and Giant following him. We continued following him for an hour through the dark forest. Didn't he call it the Forbidden Forest? Wonder why it's called that? Couldn't they have called it something else? A couple of times he would stop for a moment as if he heard something and then carried on. Giant was behind was behind us trying not to step on any of us while walking. I saw Iggy, who was being led by the Gasman, trying to get his bearings by listening around him. Angel was off to the side of our group looking around as if she didn't have a care in the world. Nudge was trailing a few feet behind Fang who was to my right, constantly bumping his hand into mine.

When the trees began to thin out I realized we were reaching out destination, wherever that is. We came out of the woods next to a big cottage. There was a big black dog lazing around front. Total walked up to it and began sniffing its butt. I'm not going to say a single word. In return the black dog began sniffing Total's butt. I'm not going to snicker.

When I looked up I nearly had a heart attack. I thought we were heading to some school. Not a freaking castle. Don't tell me this castle is supposed to be the school. What kind of school is this supposed to be? School for royalty?

"Come on. We need to see the headmistress." Came the gruff voice from Mini-Giant.

He started hearing up towards the castle without even looking back at us. We stayed where we were until Giant began stomping his feet to make us move. We followed Mini-Giant up towards the castle, through what looked liked a courtyard, and through a bunch of halls. At one point we passed a big hall/room that had one long table up on a dais and then four long tables lined-up, pointing at the table on the dais.

We continued up and up the endless stairs. It began to seem to me that Mini-Giant was trying to avoid certain hallways. I couldn't figure out why though. All I could see down the halls he was avoiding were a bunch of paintings on the walls. Of what I couldn't tell. And I swear I keep hearing voices only for them to grow quiet before I could tell where they were coming from.

We continued on more while I mesmerized the way we came in. One good thing I noticed though three were a lot of windows for us to jump out of, though I did see Giant following us with his eyes looking through the windows.

Finally we stopped in front of a gargoyle statue. "Password," it demanded. I guess it's a robotic statue.

"Albus Dumbledore." Mini-Giant responded.

The robotic statue moved to the side allowing Mini-Giant and us to go more steps to two large doors. Mini-Giant rapped on the door twice. We stood there for a moment before we were allowed in. Inside was a room filled with books and other things scattered around. On the other side of the room sat a woman, who clearly was close to retirement wearing green robes, a pointy hat like what you see in movies that witches wear, and some glasses that sat on her nose showing her piercing glare.

"Hagrid? What is this?" she asked.

"Ah found them in the Forbidden Forest. They say that they don't know what the term muggle means. They also say they ain't students here." With this said she turned her sharp stare at us. We stood there silently for what seemed like forever. She stared straight at me and I refused to look away, giving away any sign of weakness.

"Well that is a problem. Tell me children, what you saw in the forest?" she finally spoke, breaking the silence.

"We saw a bunch of trees and a sky covered in smog." I responded.

She narrowed her eyes at me trying to look tough. She reminded me of a cat. "Yes, well, I meant anything out of the ordinary."

"Do you mean Giant and Mini-Giant? 'Cause if you aren't then you needs to be more specific. We don't live in ordinary." I heard Iggy and Gazzy snickering behind me.

It took a few moments for the lady in charge and Mini-Giant to understand the first of what I said. Apparently they don't go by the names Giant and Mini-Giant.

"Other then 'Hagrid' and 'Grawp'. I mean anything else in the forest." She emphasized the Hagrid and Grawp part.

"Then nope. We didn't see anything else. Now if that's all then we will be leaving." I turned away and started to walk away.

"We are not finished here." I turned back towards her, already half way across the room. "How did you enter the forest?"

"We walked in. How else?" I naturally lied. It had begun to become a real art for me.

"It is impossible to just walk into that forest. It is protected so that no one under certain circumstances can just walk in. Now, I'm going to ask again, how did you get into the forest?" The lady responded, staring at me intently.

I kept my gaze to her as I thought silently. Angel, what are you picking up from her? What does she want?

Just tell her the truth. You may never find what she wants until you ask. It may surprise you what is hidden in these walls. As you may have figured out, that wasn't Angel. That was the voice.

What does that mean? What's hidden here? Of course I got no answer.

"I'm still waiting." The lady stated. She was clearly losing her patience.

"We flew in." I stated calmly. I crossed my arms across my chest and turned my body fully towards her.

"On what?" she asked.

'On nothing." Then very slowly I unfurled my wings. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Fang looking at me with a 'What-the-hell-are-you-doing-? look.

I watched as Mini-Giant's and the lady's eyes grew wide. "Well, this is something. What are you exactly?" The lady asked.

"Avian hybrid." I said calmly. I was actually really freaking as to why I would do that. I have finally confirmed it. I'm insane.

"So what you are saying is that you have bird DNA inside of you." This was a statement not a question.

"You don't really watch TV. or read the newspaper do you? The entire world already knows about us except you two." Iggy said.

"We don't read the type of newspaper you do. We don't get news from your…people."

"There you go again. Talking like we come from a completely different world. First you use the terms muggles and Dearth Eaters, then you ask if we saw monsters or something, now you're talking as if we're completely different type of species. We're only 2%bird." I looked at both of them as they seem to be at unease. "What are you trying to hide?"

The room was silent as everyone thought on what to do. Everyone was staring at each other, trying to decide on what they should say. Angel walked up with that determined look on her face again. This should be interesting.

"Magic? What do you mean you can't tell us about the existence of magic? Isn't it fake?" she asked. The lady and Mini-Giant stared at her in a mix of fear and shock. She seems to have that affect on people.

"Including our wings we have extra abilities." They turned their eyes toward me.

The lady stared at me for a few more moments until she realized what she was doing that she pulled herself together and sat up straighter. "Children," I rolled my eyes at that, "welcome to Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Well I wasn't expecting that.
