I turned back around to face the boys.
“That’s your problem” Ron replied, “We’ve got to go. We are going to be late”.
Ron and Harry then started walking off. I don’t want to be stuck out here alone, I thought. I could always go with the boys and tell the teacher who finds us that I was trying to stop them. I’ll do that.
I ran to where the boys were, near the end of the corridor.
“I’m coming with you” I said.
“You are NOT” Ron replied sharply.
“Do you really think that I am going to stand out here and wait for Filch to catch me?” I asked rhetorically. “If he finds us three, I am going to tell him the truth; that I was trying to stop you, and you can back me up.”
“You’ve got some nerve-“ Ron started loudly, before...
“Shut up, both of you!” Harry exclaimed sharply, “I heard something”.
Ron and I both stopped talking instantly.
And then we heard the noise; it was kind of like a snuffling noise.
Oh no, I though, it’s Mrs Norris.
“Mrs Norris?” Ron asked quietly.
We walked slowly and silently forwards a little bit more. Until...
“Neville?” I asked, “What are you doing out here?”
“Thank goodness you found me!” Neville exclaimed, “I’ve been out here for hours; I couldn’t remember the new password to get into bed!”
“Keep your voice down Neville”, I replied, “The password is ‘Pig Snout’, but it won’t help you now. The Fat Lady has gone off somewhere”.
Harry then looked around for a split second and turned back to Neville, and asked “How’s your arm Neville?”
Neville showed us his arm, before replying “Fine. Madam Pomfrey mended it in about a minute”.
“Good – well, look, Neville. We’ve got to be somewhere; we’ll see you later – “ Ron started to say.
“Don’t leave me!” Neville exclaimed, “I don’t want to stay here alone. The Bloody Baron has been past twice already!”
Ron then looked at his watch, and then glared furiously at Neville and I.
“If either of you get us caught”, Ron began, “I’ll never rest until I’ve learned that Curse of the Bogies Quirrell told us about, and used it on you two”.
I started to explain how to use the Curse of the Bogies, but Harry hissed at me to be quiet.
“Let’s go”, Harry said, beckoning us forward.
