Emma Longbottom

Chapter 9

Classes for the rest of the day were just as boring for everyone except for Hermione and all the ravenclaws. We have to sit through potions, listen to Professor bins talk about some boring old war. Finally we have lunch. Hermione runs off to the library to study so I have to make my way around the school to get to the great hall for lunch. On my way there I bump into Rob and Harry.

"Hey! Do any of you know how to get to the great hall from here? I'm kinda lost."

"Of course we know how to get there. Would you like us to show you?" Says Ron.

So the guide me through a series of hallways and passages until... We're lost. Great. Then Harry mentions that he knows how to get to the kitchen from here and he leads us through the door. As soon as we are inside the door I know that it isn't right. There is a growling sound and slobber drools down Ron's shirt. Gross. I turn around to see myself face to face with a dog. No three dogs. Never mind a dog with three heads and one body. My worst nightmare. I hate dogs. I turn around and bolt out the door with Harry and Ron right behind me. We run and run and then, miraculously we find our way to the great hall.

"Ohmigosh! Why the heck is Dumbledore keeping a beast like that in the school!" Ron screeches.

I completely agree with him but then I have a flashback like the ones I sometimes have about the nights my parents died.

A door is closing. I look around the room. It's dark, dreary and disturbingly quiet. Hagrid is in the room as well as Dumbledore. Then I realize that this is the room we were just in.

"Are you sure this is safe? Asks a mans voice.

"Absolutely!" Hagrid assures the voice. "Fluffy's the best guard dog you'll ever meet. "

I come back to reality and I realize that I am laying on my back and on the floor. I stand up fast and recount my flashback to Harry, Ron and Hermione who is freaking out at us for going into the forbidden corridor and asking if I am Alright at the same time.

"Emma are you alright?"Hermione begins but I cut her off.

"Hermione I'm fine really. Right now that doesn't matter. I had a flashback like the ones I have about my parents on the night they died. That three headed dog is guarding something. I don't know what but Hagrid, Professor Dumbledore and someone else thought that it was important."

"I wonder what that dog is guarding? " Hermione asks aloud.

"We could ask Hagrid"

"Yeah great conversation there." Harry says sarcastically. " Hello Hagrid. We were where we weren't supossed to be. Please don't get us in trouble or tell anyone. So do you know what that dog is guarding?"

I almost laugh at that until.......

"Hope ya lot aren't gettin in trouble." says a gruffly voice.

Oh crud!! People are always there at the right time.
