One minute he was in Professor McGonnagal's office next he was in woods there were loud shouts coming from up ahead. He looked to his right and saw Professor McGonnagal.
"James we are in the year 1932 the year of the Centaur rising this is before the rising this is the day it actually began. James, we are in the memory of The Centaur who stopped it. We are going to see why it started." She said with an excited tone, James waited for her to tell him what to do. Then suddenly a rush of Centaurs came at them James jumped out of the way but Professor McGonnagal stood there and the Centaurs ran straight through her. James rejoined her and she explained how they were in the memory like ghosts they were mostly unseen. She then began to walk towards where the Centaurs were.
James followed her and to an odd oval shaped area surrounded by trees. There were Centaurs asleep on the ground with Bow and arrows next to them. James forgot they wouldn't notice him and tried to step over the Centaurs he only remembered when he stepped on one and his foot fell through it.

We must tell Newton about this!" The other four Centaurs nodded and ran off towards the castle. Then suddenly James was back in Professor McGonnagal's office. "So the reason to the uprising was the Ministry lying?" Enquired James, he looked at Professor McGonnagal she was in shock from what she had just heard. James got her a glass of water and sat her down on the sofa. Then said, "We don't yet know who was lying. Now its getting late you better get back to your dormitory." James walked back to his dormitory and as he lay down his head swam with thoughts like he was a tank and his thoughts were fish, fish that would never jump up out of the tank...
