[The four are walking up a staircase in the Grand Staircase tower. A railing pulls in, Hermione looks, but continues walking.]

Ron: I'm telling you, it's spooky. She knows more about you than you do.
Madelyn: Who doesn't?
Skyler: You have to know about yourself! It will be weird if you don't [Maddie glares at him to 'shut up']
[The staircase shudders and begins to move. The four grab the railings.]

Ron: Ahh!
Skyler: Woah!
[Hermione gasps]

Madelyn: What's happening?
Hermione: The staircases change, remember? [The staircase stops, leading to a corridor.]
Madelyn: [taps Ron and Sky] Let's go this way.
Skyler and Ron: Before the staircase moves again.
[They all open a door and walk into a spooky, dark and deserted corridor.]

Madelyn: Does anyone feel like...we shouldn't be here?
Hermione: We're not supposed to be here. This is the 3rd floor. It's forbidden.

"Uh oh!"

[Suddenly, a flame lights on a tall stone support. At that moment, Filch's cat, Mrs. Norris, comes running in and meows. The group jumps.]

Madelyn: Let's go.
[Mrs. Norris meows]

Ron: It's Filch's cat!

"That damn cat!" Most mutter, mainly the Marauders.

Madelyn: Run!
[The four run through the corridor, flames are lit up on the stone supports, one by one, as they run past. They get to the end of the corridor, to a door.]

Madelyn: Quick! Let's hide though that door!
[Maddie grabs the handle, but it's locked.]

Harry: It's locked!
Ron: That's it, we're done for!
Hermione: Oh, move over! [pushes through and pulls out her wand, aiming it at the lock] Alohomora. [The door's lock lifts up magically and it opens.] Get in. [They bustle in.]
Ron: Alohomora?
Skyler: Standard book of spells, Chapter 7. Honestly you need to read and study more, the pair of you. [Hermione nods in agreement whilst Maddie and Ron share a type of disgusted look]

Some people laugh at Ron and Maddie, especially the Marauders.

[Filch arrives at the start of the corridor with a light. Mrs. Norris looks at him.]

Filch: Anyone here, my sweet? [Mrs. Norris meows] Come on. [they leave the corridor.]
Hermione: Filch is gone.
Ron: Probably thinks this door's locked.
Hermione: It was locked.
Madelyn: And for good reason. [Ron, Skyler and Hermione turn to stand with Harry. There is a massively huge three headed dog sleeping in front of them. The dog begins to wake. It growls, yawns, and growls more...noticing the intruders.]
All: AHHHHHHH! [The four bolt, running out of the door. They turn quickly to shut the door and battle against the dog. They get the door shut and run.]

"WHAT IS A THREE-HEADED DOG DOING IN A SCHOOL FULM OF CHILDREN!" Adults yell at Dumbledore who doesn't answer them.

[They return to the Gryffindor Common Room. Skyler went to the Ravenclaw common room on the way back. They are breathless.]

Ron: What do they think they're doing?? Keeping a thing like that locked up in a school.
Hermione: You don't use your eyes, do you? Didn't you see what it was standing on?
Ron: I wasn't looking at its feet! I was a bit preoccupied with its heads. Or maybe you didn't notice, there were three! [they begin to climb the stairs to the dorms.]
Hermione: It was standing on a trap door. Which means it wasn't there by accident. It's guarding something.
Madelyn: Guarding something?
Hermione: That's right. Now, if you two don't mind, I'm going to bed before either of you come up with another clever idea to get us killed... or worse, expelled!

"So it was Hermione that perked up Maddies curiosity?"

"Being expelled is worse than being killed?" Sirius asked Hermione, "well if we were expelled we wouldn't be able to do magic but if we are dead we wouldn't have to worry about that anyway" Maddie said coming to defend Hermione, people seem to agree with Maddie and Hermione.

[Hermione turns and leaves, shutting the door to her dormitory.]
Ron: She needs to sort out her priorities!
[Maddie nods in agreement]
Madelyn: Night Ron.
Ron: Night Maddie.
[Maddie goes through the same door as Hermione and closes it, Ron heads up to his dorm]
