Friday finally came James thought he wanted this to hurry up and go as he was so scared. Albus and Laura had offered to go with him but the Centaur had told him not to bring them. He waited for everyone to go to their dorms, then Albus and Laura wished him luck and he left. He walked like a zombie dragging his feet, he didn't know what to expect would Bottus be there. Did Professor McGonnagal already know the answer to her own question.

He wasn't paying attention to the rest of the world and he bumped into Professor Longbottom. "James watch where you are going. Wait, where are you going at this time of night. You better have a good excuse?" Neville questioned, James had no answer he didn't know if he should come clean about everything but then he smiled and said "I know why you're here James you're going to see Caratius. I'm going too. We'll both go come on."

They walked for what felt like an hour Neville told James about everything that he and James' father had done while at school. Eventually they made it to the Oval and the Centaur that James had talked to early that week. "Mr Potter, Professor Longbottom. Come this way." He greeted them. They followed him towards a hut as big as the Gryffindor Boys Dormitory. They entered the hut but the Centaur stayed behind. Caratius lay there on the ground with blood all over him and a scar on his face.

"Caratius, how are you?" Neville asked, James just stood still and uncomfortable. "I've never felt so bloody good!" Caratius replied he grinned at his joke, then looked at James, "And I guess your are James the son of Harry Potter." James just nodded, Caratius turned back to Neville. "Neville what is it you came here for?"

"Well, sir, I was wondering if you could tell me about what the Death Eaters masks looked like?" Neville replied, Caratius thought and then said,"I remember a sort of silver mask with a face with a straight mouth and no expression, sort of like James here, hehe. And there was one that was exactly the same except it was black and that is all I can tell you."

Neville new who the pair he had just described as they were the ones who had given him a scar on his leg with a sharp knife. His mouth dropped from his usual cheeriness. Caratius then asked James why he had came. James answered, " I wanted to ask you if that Centaur had really attacked that Ministry worker in 1932?"

The Centaur didn't even have to think he just said,"He did not the Ministry worker who had said it actually didn't like any Magical Beasts so he would go to places where Magical Beasts would be found and claimed they attacked him so that the Ministry would wipe out that species." James was surprised by the answer. Then he asked,

"Then why did the uprisings start?"

"Well we Centaurs didn't like that the fact that Our species would be wiped out so we fought for ourselves." James took this as the final answer and thanked him for his time and he and Neville left...
