Erika's POV

We all went down to the common room, until we heard a frog.

"Trevor." Harry said.
"Trevor, go. You shouldn't be here." Ron said.
"Neither should you." It was Neville.

He stood up.

"You're sneaking out again, aren't you?" Neville asked.
"Now, Neville listen here." Harry said.
"No. I won't let you. You'll get Gryffindor into trouble again. I'll fight you." Neville said, bringing his fist up.

"Neville, please." I pleaded.
"No." he said.

"Neville, I'm really sorry about this. Petrificus Totalus." Hermione said.

Neville froze and fell to the ground.
"You're a little scary sometimes. Brilliant, but scary." Ron compliemented.
"Hermione, remind to never get on your bad side." Belle said, looking at the frozen Neville.

"Let's go." Harry said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We were under the Invisibility Cloak. It's a little crowded, I can tell you that.

"Ow! You stepped on my foot." Hermione said.
"Sorry." Ron said.

We walked up to the door.
"Alhomora." Hermione said the spell.

The door unlocked and opened.
As we walked in.....we heard.....

"Wait a minute, he's snoring." Harry said, with that, the cloak blew off of us.

"Snape was already here. He put a spell on the harp." Harry said.

Then the three headed dog started to breath.

"Uggh. He's got a horrible breath." Ron said.
Belle nearly gagged.
"We have to move the paw." Harry said.
"What? Are you crazy?!" Ron asked.
"Oh come on." Harry ushered him.

We all grabbed the dogs paw and moved it.

Once we moved it.....I opened the trap door.
"I'll go first. Don't follow me until I give you a sign. Now, if something happens, get yourselves out." Harry said.

Suddenly, it went all quiet.

"Does it seem a bit quiet to you?" Harry asked.
"The harp. It stopped playing." Hermione replied.

"Oh no." Belle and I mumbled.

Drool landed on Ron's shoulder.
I looked at Ron and gagged.

"Uggh. Yuck." he said.

We all looked up and saw the dog. Awake.
"Jump!" Harry said.

Harry jumped first, then me and Belle.

Hermione and Ron followed.

We landed on a plant.

"What is this place?" Ron asked.
Then the branches moved.

"WHOA!"

The branches started to grab us.

"Stop moving. All three of you." Hermione said.
"This is Devil Snare. You have to relax. If you don't, it will only kill faster." Belle continued.

"Kill us faster?! Well now I can relax!" Ron exclaimed.

Hermione and Belle shook their head and went done.
"Hermione! Belle!" We shouted.
"Now what are going to do?!" Ron said.

"Just relax!" Belle shouted.
"Belle! Hermione! Where are you?" Harry asked.

"Do what Hermione says. Trust us." Belle replied.

Harry and I calm down and went down.
I fell down first, but then Harry landed on top of me.

"Um....Harry." I said.
His eyes widen and got up. "Sorry."
I got up and dust myself.
"Ahhhh! Harry!" Ron screamed.

"Are you okay?" Hermione asked.
"I'm fine." Harry replied.

"You okay, Sis?" Belle asked me.
I nodded.

"Help!' Ron screamed.
"He's not relaxing, is he?" Hermione asked.

"Apparently not." Harry responded.
"We've got to do something." Belle said.

"What?" Harry asked.
"We remember reading something in Herbology. A devil snare id deadly fun...." Hermione started.
"But also hates the sun." Belle blurt it out. "That's it! Devil Snare hates sunlight."

"Good thinking, Belle." Hermione said and they pulled out their wands.

"Lumos Solem!" Hermione and Belle said the spell

The devil snare released Ron. He fell to the ground.

"Ron, are you okay?" Harry asked.
Ron got up and nodded.

"Luckily we didn't panic." he said.
"Luckily, Hermione and Belle paid attention in Herbology." Harry stated.

I gave Belle a high five.

Then we heard something....like.....


"What is that?" I asked.
"I don't know. Sounds like wings." Harry replied.

We went into the next room.

That's when I saw something flying.

"Curious. I've never seen birds like these." Hermione said.
"They're not birds." I said.

"They're keys." Harry said.

Ron and and Hermione went over to the door. Harry went over to the broom.
"Strange." Harry said.

Ron tried to open the door and gave Hermione a look.
"Well, it's a worth a try." Ron said.

"Uggh! What are we going to do?! There must be a thousand of keys up there." Hermione said.

"Well, we're looking for a big old fashioned key." Ron said.

Harry looked up.
"There! The one with the broken wing."

Then he looked at the broom.
"Harry, you know what this means, right?" Belle asked.
He turned to Belle and nodded.

"What?" Ron asked.
"It's too simple." Harry replied.

"Go on, Harry. You're the youngest seeker of the Century and Belle is the youngest chaser." Ron said.

Harry nodded then turned to Belle.
She gave him a nod. "I know what to do."

Harry grabbed on the broom and keys started to come towards him.
He flew up and caught the key.

"Belle! Catch it!" he shouted.

Harry threw the key and she caught it.

She quickly went to the door.
"Hurry up, Belle!" Ron exclaimed.

Belle didn't say anything.

"Don't rush her, Ron!" I said.
And she finally opened the door.

Harry flew through the door and we closed the door just in time.

Phew! That was close!
