H*panicked*: Malfoy...wake up....Malfoy! Malfoy!

D*groggy*: Get...off... Mudblood!

H: Are you hurt?

D: My head hurts

Hermione punches Draco in the shoulder

D: GRANGER!

H: Bastard! This is all your fault!

D: How is this my fault? You grabbed my shirt and made me lose my balance

H: You grabbed my wrist!

D: You wouldn't let me talk!

H: You threw an apple at me!

D: You ignored me!

H: You called me mudblood!

D: You are a mudblood!

H: Stop saying mudblood!

Hermione pinches Draco

D: GRANGER! Mother of Merlin I'm going to go crazy with you in here!

Draco pounds on the two side walls of the crawl space

D: HELP!

H: Malfoy...

D: HELP!

H: Malfoy...

D: IF I FIND OUT SOMEONE CAN HEAR ME AND DOESN'T HELP.... I'LL... I'LL...

H: Malfoy listen...

D: WAIT TILL MY FATHER HEARS ABOUT THIS!

H: SHUT UP MALFOY!

D: Jeez Granger!

H: You wouldn't be quiet.

D: I was calling for help, unlike you I'm actually trying to get out of here. HELP!

H*sing song*: That's not going to work!

D: All right know-it-all...why isn't it going to work?

H: This is Hogwarts, you don't honestly think that this staircase hasn't been hexed with a myriad of spells? I read once-

D*rolls eyes*: of course you did.

H: I read once that these crawl spaces were invented to hide twenty students if ever there was an attack.

D: What does that mean for us?

H: Well since the crawl space is full the staircase will remain in place.

D: But someone will notice right? I mean a switching staircase that doesn't switch.

H: ...

D: Right?

H: ...

D: Granger!

H: This staircase... it switches once a day. So people probably won't notice for a while. They probably won't notice until tomorrow after lunch.

D: So how long could we be trapped under here for?

H: At most three days. Dumbledore will mechanically shift the staircase once students start complaining.

D: Three days...

H: Yes Malfoy three days as in 72 hours or 4,320 minutes.

D: I know what three days mean, Granger.

H: Really? I wasn't sure!

D: For a Griffindor girl you sure do have a snake's tongue.

H: For a Slytherin boy you sure do whine like a Hufflepuff.
