I Hate You (Fred Weasley Story)

Chapter 24: Down the "Three-Headed Dog" Hole and into...Vines?

Ron's POV

"Guys, I'm not so sure about this." I gulped as we stood in front of the door that Fluffy was locked behind.

Hermione rolled her eyes. "Ron, get over it. We are doing it."

       I sighed. "Fine. Open the door then."

       Hermione looked away and whispered, "Alohamora."

       The doorknob clicked and turned, opening up so we could get in. I took a shaky breath as we walked in. Fluffy growled and stood as we walked in.

       "Hermione...hurry." I whined, my voice getting higher with my fright.

       She nodded and pulled out the harp, making it grow to its normal size. Fluffy charged at us and I shrieked as the dog grabbed my robes and started dragging me.

       "Hermione, hurry. Fluffy has got Ron!" Harry shouted.

       My screams of terror became whimpers as Fluffy let me go, quickly falling asleep as the harp started creating beautiful music.

       "Okay, let's go." Harry helped me up and we all moved toward the trap door. We threw it open, but I was the only one who realized how quiet it got.

       "Guys..." A snarl from above us. I whimpered. "Jump!" I pushed Harry and Hermione in, and jumped in after as Fluffy's teeth snapped at me. We made it in safely, falling down the trapdoor.

       We were all screaming as we descended into what looked and felt like some sort of plant. Hermione said it was Devil's Snare...whatever that was.

       As soon as we started moving, the vines started wrapping themselves around us. I gasped. "Okay, this isn't funny. What is it doing?" My face was red and I tried to pull myself away as a vine wrapped itself around my throat.

"Help! Help!" I cried as my throat got closed up by the vines.

"We have to stop moving! Harry! Stop moving." Hermione exclaimed. Bloody hell...there was no way I was sitting still when I was slowly dying.

Hermione and Harry disappeared through the vines and I gasped. "Harry! Hermione! Where are you?"

Hermione's voice wafted up from the ground. Suddenly a blast of white light and I fell through the vines, landing on the ground with a thud.

       "Was I eaten?" I whimpered, my eyes closed tightly.

       Hermione scoffed. "Oh, honestly, Ronald...get up!"

       I opened my eyes and Harry helped me up. He looked at Hermione, "Okay, let's go." They take off down a hallway and I follow behind them.

       "Let's go, he says...it'll be easy, they said. This is not easy!" I whine.

       We enter a room filled with... "Flying keys?"

       Hermione and Harry nod. Harry walks forward toward an old broomstick.

He looks at us. "I need to find the key to open that door." He looks up and points to an old key with tattered wings. "I need to get that key."
