harry potter: the twins who lived

chapter seven.

Night had fallen over the school of hogwarts, as the twins, ron and hermione had walked down the stairs of their common room, but stopped when hearing the chirps of trevor the toad.
“ trevor,” sighed harry.
“ shh trevor go you shouldn’t be here!” ron had shouted in a whisper.
“ neither should you,” said neville who had stood up from the chair trevor was on, “ you’re sneaking out again aren’t you?!”
“ no neville listen we were,” said harry.
“ no! I won’t let you,” said neville, “ you’ll get gryffindor in trouble again i-i’ll fight you.”
“ neville i’m really sorry about this,” said hermione, “ petrificus totalus!”

Neville had suddenly been paralyzed, his eyes wide when he stood completely still, looking at the four as he fell backwards with a loud thud.
“ you’re a little scary at times,” said ron with a gulp, “ brilliant but scary.”
“ let’s go,” said emma.
The four had walked past neville, all four apologizing to him, when leaving the dormitories.  
“ ow! You stepped on my foot!” shouts hermione.
“ sorry,” said ron.
All four had been hidden away inside harry’s invisibility cloak, as they had walked over towards the door, leading to the large three headed dog fluffy.

“ alohomora,” said hermione.
The latch to the door had opened, as the four walked inside the room, all still invisible.
“ wait a minute he’s-” ron had been cut off when the cloak had been taken off of them.
“ snoring,” said harry.
“ it’s too late snape’s already been here,” he sighed, “ he’s put a spell on the harp.”
“ eugh he’s got horrible breath,” complains ron as they walked closer towards fluffy.
“ we have to move his paw,” said harry.

“ what?” gasped ron.
“ push on three,” said harry, “ one two three!”
The four had moved the sleeping dogs paw, but fluffy began stirring in his sleep, scaring the four but he kept snoring. Hermione had opened the trap door, and when the four had looked inside, it was completely dark and quiet.
“ i’ll go first,” said harry, “ don’t follow until i give you a sign. If something bad happens get yourselves out.”
“ um harry,” emma whispered tapping her twins shoulder.
“ jump!” shouts harry.

All four jumped down the trap, while fluffy kept barking and growling, as he attempted to get the kids. Harry and emma had been the first ones to fall, hermione and ron falling after them, a strange mass blocking their fall.
“ whoa lucky these plant things were here,” said ron.
“ whoa!” the twins gasped.
Sprouting from their hiding places, vines slithered and snaked around the kids legs, surprising the four. Emma and hermione had stood perfectly still, whilst ron and harry began struggling, the vines becoming stronger.
“ stop moving both of you this is devil’s snare,” said hermione, “ you have to relax if you don’t it will only kill you faster.”

“ kill us faster?!” shouts ron, “ oh now i can relax!”
Hermione had smiled at the boys, as the vines that had wrapped around her, pulled her down.
“ hermione!” shout ron and harry.
“ now what do we do?” asked ron.
“ just relax!” came hermione’s voice.
“ hermione?” asked harry.
“ where are you?” asked emma.

“ just do as i say!” shouts hermione, “ trust me.”
Harry slowly breathed as he closed his eyes, as he slowly disappeared, freaking out ron. Emma took a small breath when seeing her twin disappear, closing her eyes as she evens her fast breathing, feeling her body being pulled down.
“ harry! Emma!” ron shouts with fear.
“ you’re both okay?” asked hermione.
“ yeah we’re fine,” said the twins.
“ he’s not relaxing is he?”
