I'm Not Perfect | Seamus Finnigan

The Trap Door

I was in the library one day and Harry, Ron, and Hermione came to me.

"Emma. We're going through the trap door. Tonight."

"What?!" I whisper/yelled. (Yes, that's a thing)

"Snape's going to steal it!"

"Alright. I'll meet you by the door to Fluffy."

"Great." Harry smiled.

-----------------------------------------------

That night, I snuck out of the Ravenclaw common room and met Harry, Ron, and Hermione at the door.

"Alright, let's go."

We walked in through the door to find Fluffy sleeping, and a harp playing by itself.

"He must have already put him to sleep, and enchanted the harp to continue."

We opened the trap door and jumped in. When we got in we were grasped by a bunch of vines.

Hermione and I went still and eventually fell through the vines.

Harry and Ron were moving around and the vines were tightening on them.

"Stop struggling!" I yelled.

"What is this?" Ron yelled.

"Devil's Snare!" Hermione and I said at the same time.

"Devil's snare, Devil's snare... what did Proffesor Sprout say?" Hermione pondered, "It likes the dark and damp."

"So light a fire!" Harry said.

"Yes - of course - but there's no wood."

"HAVE YOU GONE MAD? ARE YOU A WITCH OR NOT?" Ron yelled.

I pointed my wand at the devil's snare and said "Lumos Solem"

The devil's snare retreated and Harry and Ron fell out.

"I guess Emma is the better witch."

Hermione looked hurt.

"RON!" I yelled, "DO YOU KNOW HOW SELF CONSIOUS THAT MAKES A GIRL FEEL!? HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT TO HER!"

I turned to Hermione, "Hermione are you okay?"

Ron stared at me, "Are you bipolar?"

I ignored him and we started walking.

We came to a chamber, with birds flying around.

"What are all these birds?" I asked.

Harry looked at them before saying, "They're not birds! They're keys! Winged keys - look carefully. So that must mean... Yes - look! Broomsticks! We've got to catch the key to the door!"

Harry got a broom and flew around, searching.

"There's one with a crumpled wing! It must've already been shoved through the lock!"

Harry flew around until he caught it, and put the key in the door. We walked through to see a giant version of a chess board.

"I think we're going to have to be chessmen." Ron said.

Ron told us where to go. Ron was a knight, I was a pawn, Harry was a bishop, and Hermione was the queen.

Ron directed us until he said, "Harry, I'm gonna have to sacrifice myelf so you can check mate the king."

"Ron, No!" Harry, Hermione, and I said.

Ron did though.

"RON!" Harry yelled. But Ron was unconcious.
