Well, they did make us work really hard. I was sort of glad when that monster thing came crashing in and we had to stop. I think the centaurs might have chased us out anyway if that thing hadn't come and tried to eat Malfoy.

But, Dad, the centaurs were really amazing! Have you ever seen any? They were really tall and strong. The one that grabbed me had the biggest hands I've ever seen. And really foul breath, but he didn't hurt me, really. They said all this mad stuff about the stars and Mars and a load of absolutely dire stuff thats supposed to happen and all. Professor Macnair says you can never get a straight answer out of a centaur, and I expect hes right about that.
