Never Thought I Would Fall For You ( A Hogwarts Love Story) ~Year 1-3~

Chapter 8 - Three Headed Dog

"Let's go." Harry said.

"MEOW!"

We turned around and saw Filch's cat.

"It's Filch's cat." Hermione said.
"No duh, Hermione. How many cats have you seen." Erika said.
"No time for jokes, Erika." I said.

"Run." Harry said.

We all started running and we saw a door.
"Quick, let's hide behind that door." Harry said.

I let go of Erika's arm and made sure we were not followed.
"Oh great! It's locked!" he said.

"That's it, we're done for." Ron said.

"Oh move over!" Hermione exlcaimed.

She pushed Ron and pulled out her wand.

"Alohomora." she said.

The door unlocked and we stepped inside.
Harry and I walked in and help Hermione and Ron closed the door.

As we turned around....I couldn't believe what I just saw.

I nudged Erika's arm. She looked at me and followed my glanced.

"Filch's gone." Hermione stated.
"Who would locked this door anyway?" Ron asked.

"I think you should look before you said that, Ron." Erika said.
"What?" he asked.

Erika and I gulped and pointed at the Three Headed Dog.
The Three Headed Dog started to wake up.

The Dog woke up and started to growl.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" We all screamed out loud.
We stepped out of the room quickly and tried to close the door. We closed it and locked it.

~Gryffindor Tower~
We went back to the Common Room.

"What do they think they're doing?! Keeping a thing like that locked up in a school?!" Ron asked.
"You don't use you eyes, do you? Didn't you see what it was standing on." Hermione said.
"I wasn't looking at its feet. I was a bit pre-occupied with its heads or maybe you didn't notice." Ron said.

"She's not the only one who saw it." I said.
"It was standing on a trap door." Erika said.
"Thanks you two. At least someone understands what I'm trying to say.  It must be guarding something." Hermione said.

"Guarding something?" Harry asked.
"That's right. Now if you two don't mind, I'm going to bed before either of you come up with another brilliant plan to get us killed...or worse expelled." Hermione said.

Hermione, you can be scary sometimes. I thought.

"Come on, Belle, Erika." Hermione grabbed my other hand, but I noticed Harry was still holding Erika's hand.
"Um....Harry." Ron started.

"What?" he asked.
Ron pointed at his hands.

Harry looked down and started to let go, slowly.
"Sorry." he said.

"It's all right." Erika said.

I saw Erika's eyes twinkling. Hehehe....somethings up.

"Good night, boys." Hermione said and dragged us.

Erika's POV
Belle was already fast asleep. Seriously though, she's a fast sleeper.

"Belle's asleep already?" Hermione said.
I nodded. "Yeah."

"I'm surprised that she talked today." Hermione said.
"Me too. She only talks to Dad and now she's talking to us." I said.

Hermione lied down on her bed.

"Erika..." she said.
"Yeah?" I asked.

"Can you tell me why Belle isn't talking in the first place?" Hermione asked.

I sighed and sat on my own bed.
"I guess."

Hermione turned to me and waited.

"Ever since we were born....we never knew our mother. Belle always run around looking for her." I said.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't ask." Hermione said.

"It's all right. I think you should hear it as well." I said.

Hermione stayed silent.

"Dad always tell us that our Mom is in a better place. I knew what that meant, but Belle was a little lost. So, then...she stopped talking. I always been there for her. And I'm not the only one, the clan, my aunt, and also...my Dad." I said.

Hermione leaned onto her arm.
"That's sad. But, at least she has you and the clan." Hermione said.

"Yeah. But, even we don't know what our Mom looks like...she's always here. In our hearts." I said.
"You're right. And you two have me as your friend." Hermione said.

I nodded. "We better get to bed, we have class tomorrow."
