That night when everyone else had gone to bed the door of us in our normal clothing, left our dorms and headed down into the silent and night lit common room. We stopped seeing a familiar toad.

"Trevor." Harry stated

"Trevor, go! You should't be here." Ron tried to shoo the toad.

"Neither should you." Neville who we hadn't seen peaked his head around the chair he was sitting in and then stood up. "You're sneaking out again aren't you?"

"Now, Neville Listen." Harry tried to reason with him

"No, I won't let you. You'll get Gryffindor into trouble again. I'll fight you." he held up his fists

"Neville i'm sorry, but we don't have time Petrifies totalus." He froze and hit the floor.

"You're a little scary sometimes. Brilliant but scary." Ron told me

"Remember that the next time you make a smart arse comment." I chime back at him

"Let's go." Harry brought our attention back to hand. We apologised to Neville on our way out then hid under Harry's invisibility cloak.

"Ouch, Ron, you stood on my foot." Hermonie winced as we approached the floor that lead to fluffy.

"Sorry." he apologised

"Alohamora." I spoke opening the door and the putting it wide so that we could enter. Fluffy was sleeping soundly with harp playing.

"Wait a minute he..." Ron trailed off and the cloak was blown away from us.

"snoring." Harry added "Snapes already been here. He's put a spell on the harp." we waked closer

"Ugh it's got horrible breath." Ron complained

"We've got to move his paw." Harry stated

"What?"

"Come on." The four of us found a place "Okay and push." we did and it moved revealing the trap door. Harry opened it and glanced back at us.

"I'll go first. Don't follow until I give you a sign. If something happens, get yourselves out." I nodded "Does it seem a bit quiet to you?"

"The harp" Mionie clicked "It's stopped playing." we looked back to be proven right.

"Ugh." Ron winced "yuck" we looked up. Fluffy was wide awake

"Jump." we did ad landed on something soft, fluffy's head barely fit through the hatch, we had dodged the first line of defence.

"Whoa lucky this plant things here really." Ron commented, just then the plant in question began to sliver all over us and trap us closing in tighter. It was devils snare

"Stop moving, the two you. This is devils snare. If you don't it will only kill you faster." Mione told them as I slipped through.

"Vega!" I heard them scream my name

"Just relax!" I call back. Hermione dropped through as well

"Vega! Hermione! Where are you?" Harry yelled

"Trust us, just relax. Stop fighting, listen to my voiced and breath normally." I tried to soothe them. Harry came through. I helped him up

"Are you okay?" i ask

"Yeah."

"He's not relaxing is he?" Mine asked

"You think. we have to do something. We're the brightest witches in our year, you're telling me we can't do something." I stressed

"Okay. I remember reading something in herbology Devil's snare, devils snare. It's deadly fun...but will sulk in the sun, that's it. It hates sunlight. lumos Solem." bright sunlight emitted from her wand and it brought Ron through. Harry helped him up.

"Are you okay?" Harry wondered

"Yeah. Whoo. Lucky we didn't panic." I stared at him bewildered

"We're lucky Hermione pays attention in Herbology." Harry retorted just as we heard something. My eyebrows furrowed

"What's that?" I inquired

"I don't know. Sounds like wings." Harry replied and we headed through the next door. I looked up. Harry wasn't far off.

"Curious. I've never see birds like these." Hermione commented

"They're not birds, they're keys. And I bet one of them fits that door." he nodded over to it. In front of us was a broomstick

"I'm I supposed to get this?" I thought out loud. Mione and Ron went to try the door. Ron even tried Alhoamora but it didn't work.

"Its strange." Harry muttered

"Well it was worth a try." Ron stated

"What are we going to do, there must be at leas a thousand keys up there." I huff in annoyance.

"We're looking for a big old fashion one. Probably rusty to match the handle." Ron deduced.

"There. i see it!" Harry chimed posting up "That one with the broken wing." he looked back at us

"What's the matter?" I take his arm.

"It's to simple." he told me

"Oh go on Harry. If Snape could catch on that old broomstick, you can." Ron assured him

"He's right, You're a seeker, the seeker." he nodded and I stepped back. as soon as he put his hand on it all the keys swarmed around him.

"This complicates things a bit." Ron commented as Harry flew around and caught it.

"Catch the key." he threw it and Mione caught it then put it into the lock, she struggled with it a bit.

"Come on. Mione." I stressed, she finally opened the door and we headed in first, Harry flew threw and I quickly closed the door, hearing the keys hit it on the other side.
