your pov

we walk into the room, expected to be greeted by a snarling 3-headed dog but.. he's asleep. there's a harp off to the side of the room playing itself.

"Wait a minute...he's...Sleeping." ron says.

"Snape's already been here. He's put a spell on the harp." harry says.

"Uh. It's got horrible breath!" ron says. i notice that it's paw is over the trap door.

"We have to move its paw." i tell them. ron look at me, terrified.

"What?!" he exclaims.

"Come on!" i tell them, grabbing it's paw. "Okay. Push!" we strain to move it, but once we do we open the door.

"I'll go first. Don't follow until I give you a sign.If something bad happens, get yourselves out." harry tells us. wait a minute. i don't hear the harp anymore.

"Does it seem a bit...quiet?" i say.

"the harp. It stopped playing." hermione says. Drool from one head comes down on Ron's shoulder.

"Ew! Yuck! Ugh." ron says, trying to get it off. we look up and see Fluffy standing there. Fluffy barks and growls.

"Jump! Go!" harry yells as we all jump through the trapdoor.

"Ahh!" ron gasps. we land on some mushy black ropelike vines. Whoa. Lucky this plant-thing is here. then it moves over us, tying us up.

"Stop moving, all of you. This is Devil's Snare. You have to relax. If you don't, it will only kill you faster." hermione says. i mentally face palm at her choice of words.

"Kill us faster?! Oh, now I can relax!" ron exclaims. Hermione manages a smile as she is sucked down below.

"Hermione!!" ron and harry yell.

"Now what are we gonna do?!" ron says. i see hermione under the vines.

"Just relax!" she shouts.

"Hermione! Where are you?!" ron says.

"she's right under us." i say, doing my best to relax. i fall down to where hermione is.

"(Y/N)!" harry yells. ron looks like he's about to faint.

"im down here! just relax, Trust me." i yell.

Harry relaxes and is sucked through.

"Ahh! Harry!" ron yells.

Harry falls through and lands on the hard ground. Hermione and i go over to him and he stands up.

"Are you okay?" i ask him.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." harry says.

"Help!" ron screams.

"He's not relaxing, is he?" hermione says.

"Apparently not." i reply.

"We've got to do something!" hermione says.

"What?" harry asks her.

"Uh! I remember reading something in Herbology. Um Devil's Snare, Devil's Scare.." hermione starts to say. "i can't remember the rest!" i realize what she's saying, it's a rhyme we learned in herbology.

"it's deadly fun...but will sulk in the sun! That's it! Devil's Snare hates sunlight!" i exclaim. "but where are we going to get sunlight?" hermione takes out her wand and points upwards.

"Lumus Solem!" she shouts. A beam of light shoots out. The Snare shrieks and recoils. Ron falls.

"Ahhh!" ron screams.
