VI. Three headed dog

The three are walking up a staircase in the Grand Staircase tower. A railing pulls in, Hermione looks, but continues walking

Ron: I'm telling you, it's spooky. She knows more about you than you do.

Annie: [scoffs] who doesn't?

The staircase shudders and begins to move. The three grab the railings.

Ron: Ahh!

[Hermione gasps]

Annie: What's happening?

Hermione: The staircases change, remember? [The staircase stops, leading to a corridor.]

Annie: [taps Ron] Let's go this way.

Ron: Before the staircase moves again.

[They all open a door and walk into a spooky, dark, and deserted corridor.]

Annie: Does anyone feel like we shouldn't be here?

"Because you bloody shouldn't just turn around and leave!" screams Molly and Lilly frightened and worried for their safety

Hermione: We're not supposed to be here. This is the 3rd floor. It's forbidden.

Suddenly, a flame lights on a tall stone support. At that moment, Filch's cat, Mrs. Norris, comes running in and meows. The group jumps.

Annie: Let's go.

"No, don't go, just turn around! For crying out loud!"

[Mrs. Norris meows]

Hermione: It's Filch's cat!

"I hate that cat!" the hall groans

Annie: Run!

The trio run through the corridor, flames are lit up on the stone supports, one by one, as they run past. They get to the end of the corridor, to a door

Annie: Quick! Let's hide through that door!

Annie grabs the handle, but it's locked.

Annie: It's locked!

Ron: That's it! We're done for!

Hermione: Oh, move over! [Pushes through and pulls out her wand, aiming it at the lock] Alohomora. [The door's lock lifts up magically and it opens.] Get in. [They bustle in.]

"Thank Merlin they have Hermione!"

Ron: Alohomora?

Hermione: Standard Book of Spells, Chapter 7.

Filch arrives at the start of the corridor with a light. Mrs. Norris looks at him.

Filch: Anyone here, my sweet? [Mrs. Norris meows] Come on. [They leave the corridor.]

Hermione: Filch is gone.

Ron: Probably thinks this door's locked.

Hermione: It was locked.

Annie: And for good reason. [Ron and Hermione turn to stand with Annie. There is a massively huge three headed dog sleeping in front of them. The dog begins to wake. It growls, yawns, and growls more...noticing the intruders.]

"What the bloody hell is that?" Barty yells frightened

"Just run for merlin's sake run"

"Who keeps such monster in a school full of kids?" shouts Amelia Bones a young Auror
