They made their way to the third floor corridor, and stood outside of Cerberus's door.

"Do you have it?" Reyna asked.

Quirrell nodded. He took out a ukulele the size of his thumb out from his pocket and quickly transfigured it to grow. He held it in front of Reyna, who raised an eyebrow.

"What? You want me to play?"

"Obviously!"

"Well I don't know how to play! You do it!"

"I can't play either!"

She scowled and snatched it from him. "Ugh. Whatever. Let's just get this over with."

"Alohomora."

The door clicked open, and the two made their way in. The three headed dog growled at them, waves of putrid stench making Reyna gag.

"Fucking hell....." she muttered. She tightened her grip on the instrument and began to strum with uncertainty. However, the dog growled even more.

"Play something nice!" Urged Quirrell.

"Do I look like I've held a ukulele before today?"

"Oh, just pass it." He snatched it from her hand.

"Err, I think the fuck not." She snatched it back.

"Has anyone told you that you swear too much for a twelve year old? Now play!"

Reyna began to hum with the melody she was creating on the ukulele, and with a jolt of excitement, she noticed that the dog seemed to be becoming drowsy. Its eyelids dropped, and so did its large body.  She stepped forward, avoiding the large pool of saliva, and hauled open the trap door.

"Lumos."

Even with the light charm, she could barely see what was the next obstacle. She turned to Quirrell to tell him to jump first, but the sneering voice of Professor Snape made both of them freeze.

"Alohomora."

Reyna ducked behind the Cerberus' body, hoping that it wouldn't wake. Quirrell quickly cast an invisibility charm on himself and from the small gust of wind that hit Reyna, she could tell he had jumped to the spot next to her.

The door opened with a click and Snape moved in, eyes narrowing at the three headed dog.

The leg which Reyna was leaning against began to twitch, and with horror she realised that the animal was waking up. It began to growl at Snape.

"Dillusion." She heard a quiet whisper, and a blanket of cold fell over her. She looked down at her hands, and her jaw dropped when she noticed she had been turned invisible.

The dog lunged at Snape, and Reyna used this distraction to move around it, and to the door. Thankfully, Snape had left it open so her and Quirrell leaving wouldn't make a commotion. She ran until she was out of breath, and until they were back in the dungeons, in their meeting spot.
