The four friends came down the stairs and began to walk across the floor, slowly, softly, trying not to be heard. They stopped when they heard croaking.

"Trevor." Harry realized.

"Trevor shh! Go, you shouldn't be here!" Ron demanded.

"Neither should you. You're sneaking out again, aren't you?" Neville realized turning around in the chair.

"Now, Neville, listen. We were -" Harry began.

"No! I won't let you!" Neville declared standing up. "You'll get Gryffindor in trouble again! I-I'll fight you." Neville held out his fists. Vaera rolled her eyes stepping forward. 

"Neville, I'm really, really sorry about this..." Vaera took out her wand. "Petrificus Totalus." Neville froze and fell backwards onto the ground. Vaera put her wand back.

"You're a little scary sometimes...you know that? Brilliant, but scary." Ron remarked. Vaera chuckled with a little shrug. 

"Let's go." harry instructed walking by Neville. "Sorry." he whispered.

"Sorry." Vaera and Hermione echoed.

"It's for your own good, you know." Ron added. 

Harry got them under the invisibility cloak he had got for christmas as they snuck along the corridor.

"I still can't believe you forgot to mention you got a cloak of invisibility!" Vaera whispered excitedly. "This is so cool!" 

" Ow! You stood on my foot!" Hermione shoved Ron. 

"Sorry." Ron murmured.

"I thought you said they would be here?" Mattheo remarked. 

"They are coming, just hush you dont want to blow our cover." Davina countered. 

"Maybe we head back." Aemond countered. 

"Think of it as your training to get a dragon." Davina offered. 

"Can we go on a dragon hunt when we get home for the summer? You and me Dav?" Aemond questioned. 

"Yeah, I would like that." Davina agreed. She peered around before an invisble body rammed into her. She spun around and swatted at the air. 

"What are you idiots doing?" Mattheo demanded. 

"What is that?" Davina questioned as they appeared. 

"A cloak of invisibilty." Aemond rasped in awe. 

"Cool right." Harry agreed. 

"How did you guys get here without being seen?" Hermione countered. 

"We walked down the hall." Davina answered and drew out her wand and pointed it at the door. "This the right one?" 

"Yes." vaera confirmed. 

"Alohomora." Davina declared, the door opened for them and they headed in. 

"You really just walked here? No disguise?" Harry questioned. 

"Yeah, no one saw us, we are all supposed to be asleep, remember?" Mattheo agreed. 

"They trust us Slytherins more than you Gryffindors." Aemond deduced. 

"Fluffy?" Mattheo questioned softly as they entered the room. "Hey fluffy buddy..." 

"Wait a minute...he's...." Ron stared around the darkness. "Sleeping."

"Snape's already been here. He's put a spell on the harp." Harry noticed the harp strumming along. They approached the sleeping dog.

"Snape?" Davina questioned.
