Kataleen

I reached the door just as I heard a scream from inside. I shivered, pressing my ear on the door. Am I too late? Is Volde -- You-Know -- Gee, they're not here anyway so bah! Is Voldemort already... there?

Suddenly I heard Hermione's excited voice come in. "That's it! Devil's Snare's afraid of the sun!"

I furrowed my eyebrows. What? Devil's Snare? Whatever it is, I'm glad they're discussing that as a topic, meaning Voldemort isn't there yet. Yet.

"Then light a fire!" came a frantic voice.

"Yes, but there's no wood."

What the heck, Hermione?! You can light a fire with your wand, for goodness --

"ARE YOU MAD? ARE YOU A WITCH OR WHAT?!" No mistaking Ron's voice.

I heard a grunt, followed by Hermione yelling, "Lumos solem!"

I heard a scream and moaning and groaning noises. That can't be too good, can it?

Overcome by that thought I got on my feet. "I'm coming, guys!"

As I pushed the door open, I began regretting it immediately. I came face-to-face with an awake Fluffy, growling intensely at me.

I looked around frantically for somewhere to dodge him, shrieking as he tried to bite and rip my head off my body. I reached the corner and saw a harp. Yes! I kneeled beside it. I hope I remember the harp lessons I've been having with Arlin last summer, since he does like playing the harp. Hope I'm as good as him.

I began playing a random tune. At first it sounded like a screeching cat, but eventually I managed to play a tune pleasant to the ears. Soon I saw Fluffy settling down on the floor, soon falling fast asleep.

I gently tugged the harp away, lasting for a good few minutes, standing as I kept playing. I tugged it towards the trapdoor which luckily wasn't open, but not blocked by the big beast either.

I kicked it open with my foot, immediately letting go of the harp and in a quick motion closing the trapdoor above me. The last thing I heard was Fluffy barking like mad as I feel down a deep pit.

What else would you do if you fell down a pit. SCREAM! AAAAAAAAHHH!

Oof! Oh, goody, there's a pillow here. I stood up, about to make my way somewhere, anywhere in the dark, but felt something damp restrict me. I yelped, until I realised I was pinned to the ground, and being pulled slowly... down? Oh shoot. Oh bloody hell. OH WICKED CRAP!

"HELP! SOMEBODY! ANYBODY! HELP!" I shrieked, squirming.

I heard footsteps from underneath. Guys, please help! "Kataleen? Kataleen, is that you?" Hermione.

"Why are you down here? We didn't call," said Ron.

I continued squirming. "JUST GET ME OUT OF THIS BLOODY THING!"

"Stop squirming and calm down!" Hermione yelled. "It'll only kill you faster!"

"HOW CAN I BLOODY RELAX IF I'M GONNA GET KILLED?!" I yelled. "Hermione, please! Do something!"
