Journey to the Stone

[Journey To The Stone]

⚡

It was already night time, the girls arranged to meet up with the boys once everyone was asleep. The four of them met up by the stairs to descend to the Common Room as quietly as possible, once they were downstairs, they made their way towards the portrait but stopped when they heard a croaking sound.

"Trevor." Said Harry making them acknowledge the creature. Ron tried to shoo it away, "Trevor, shh! Go, you shouldn't be here!"

"Neither should you." Said a voice appearing from behind a chair, "You're sneaking out again, aren't you?"

"Now, Neville, listen. We were-" Neville didn't let the dark-haired boy finish, "No! I won't let you! You'll get Gryffindor in trouble again." He held out his fists, "I'll fight you."

The girls looked at each other, silently agreeing to something before Hermione took out her wand, "Neville, I'm really, really sorry about this...Petrificus Totalus."

The boy froze by the casted spell and fell backwards onto the ground, the bushy-haired girl put her wand back and the redhead gulped, "You're a little scary sometimes...you know that? Brilliant, but scary."

They looked at the fallen boy before moving as each one of them passed by him they repeated  'sorry'. Opening the portrait hole, they covered themselves up with the Invisibility Cloak that the eleven-year-old Weasley was holding, walking up the same stairs as last time they opened the door and walked along the hallway. Leslie took out her wand as a flame lit up while the brunette scolded Ron for stepping on her foot, "Alohomora."

"Wait a minute...he's..." A sudden blow of air threw the cloak of them, "Snoring." Finished Harry. They got closer to the dog as the boy continued, "Snape's already been in here. He's put a spell on the harp."

"Ugh. It's got a horrible breath." Complained the redhead when Fluffy snored. The quartet looked at the paw on the trapdoor and the blonde told them, "We have to move its paw."

"What?" The redhead looked at her in disbelief but she and the dark-haired boy already moved forwards the dog's paw, the other two did the same and they all moved it together and opened the trapdoor afterwards. The boy who lived looked at his friends, "I'll go first. Don't follow until I give you a sign. If something bad happens, get yourselves out..." He stopped talking and it seemed to quiet for Leslie, and the boy with glasses has appeared to notice too, "Does it seem a bit...quiet?"

"The harp. It stopped playing." Affirmed Hermione. Something fell on Ron's shoulder and the blue-eyed girl recognized it as drool, "Ew! Yuck! Ugh." They all looked up and saw Fluffy standing there until he started barking and pounced at them, they quickly jumped down the trapdoor landing on something mushy and vine-like.

Everything was okay until the vines started to tie around them and the boys began to panic. The blonde squirmed a little before she realised what plant it was and stopped moving, "Stop moving, both of you."  Hermione looked at them and explained, "This is Devil's Snare. You have to relax. If you don't, it will only kill you faster."
