The quartet waited till it was night. They knew if they didn't do it tonight, Voldemort would get the stone first. They went down to the common room, thinking they were alone but they were wrong.

"Trevor." Ron pointed out.

"Shouldn't you be with Neville." Y/n said, picking up the toad.

"Shouldn't you be in your dorms?" Neville said, getting up from the couch. Startling them in the process.

"You're sneaking out again, aren't you?" He asked.

"Neville, listen, We're only-" Harry got cut off by Neville.

"No, I won't let you sneak out again. I don't care what reason you have. I won't let Gryffindor lose any more points. I-i'll fight you." He said, putting his fists up.

"I'm sorry for doing this Neville." Hermione said as she pointed her wand at him. "Petrificus Totalus." Suddenly, Neville's whole body went still and fell over.

Y/n casted the levitating spell and rested him on the couch. She placed a blanket over him, in case he'll get cold.

"We're sorry Neville, but the situation at hand is worth more than just house points." She said to him before leaving the common room.

Now they were running down the corridor with Y/n holding up the map. Barely even looking down on it. But they didn't have the time to look out for any prefects or teachers.

They arrived at the third floor, hoping that they weren't too late. They slowly entered Fluffy's room, careful not to wake him. That was when they noticed the enchanted harp playing music in the corner.

"We're too late, they've already went through." Hermione said.

"Not unless we go down and stop them. Come on, help me move his paw." Harry said as he got down to pick up the large paw.

"There is an easier way to do this you know." Y/n said as she pulled out her wand.

"Oh right, I forgot we could do magic for a second." Harry said as he scratched the back of his head.

"Wingardium Leviosa", the paw began to float up so Harry went down and opened the trapped door.

"You three go down, I'll be right behind you." Y/n said, motioning them to go inside.

Hermione went down first, then Ron but just as Harry was about to enter the trapdoor, the harp stopped playing music. The two gave each other scared looks before looking at Fluffy who started to wake up.

"GO! GO! GO!" Y/n said, nearly shoving Harry down the hole. She then proceeded to jump down as well, just missing Fuffy's teeth by an inch.

Now all four of them have landed in the same room filled with what looks like black vines. If you looked closer, they seemed to be moving.

"We're lucky this plant thing's here." Ron said.

Y/n realized what type of plant it was only seconds later. "No we aren't. This is Devil's snare. If you move too much, it's going to squeeze you till you're out of breath, so stop moving and relax your body. Quick!"

After a few minutes of sitting still, the Devil's snare let both Y/n and Hermione go. But Harry and Ron were still in the plant's grasp, not even trying to sit still.

"Y/N! HERMIONE!" They both yelled.

"Just relax, try playing dead. The plant will let you slip through if you just stop moving." Hermione yelled from below the plants.
