Through the trap door
(Not edited)
A/N: if I were to write this book but without the reactions and in primrose pov would you read it?
Hermione, Harry, and Ron are meeting in the common room. "You mean You-Know-Who's out there, right now, in the forest?"
"But he's weak. He's living off the unicorns. Don't you see? We had it wrong! Snape doesn't want the Stone for himself; he wants the Stone for Voldemort. With the Elixir of Life, Voldemort will be strong again. He'll... he'll come back."
"But, if he comes back, you don't think he'll try to... kill you, do you?"
"I think if he'd had the chance, he might've tried to kill me tonight."
Ron gulps "And to think I've been worrying about my Potions final."
"Hang on a minute." Harry and Ron both glance at her, "We're forgetting one thing. Who's the one wizard Voldemort always feared? Dumbledore. As long as Dumbledore's around, Harry, you're safe. As long as Dumbledore's around, you can't be touched."
Dumbledore smiles at this.
Hermione gives Harry a reassuring smile; he nods.
[Later all the students are rushing out as they finish their exams.]
"I'd always heard Hogwart's end-of-year exams were frightful, but I've found they're rather enjoyable."
"Speak for yourself. All right there, Harry, primrose?"
Harry and Primrose are walking next to the two rubbing their forehead right where the scar is.
"My scar. It keeps burning."
"Same" adds primrose
"It's happened before..."
Harry shakes his head, "Not like this."
"Perhaps you two should see the nurse," Ron suggested
"Madam Pom-Pom"
"I think it's a warning. It means danger's coming." A look of realization came over his face, he turns to his twin, "Ah... Oh! Of course!"
"Great just great," Lily mutters, worried for her kids' future
Harry starts walking faster making Hermione, primrose, and Ron speed up to catch him
"What is it?"
"Don't you think it's a bit odd that what Hagrid wants more than anything is a dragon, and a stranger turns up who just happens to have one? I mean, how many people wander around with dragon eggs in their pockets? Why didn't I see it before?"
They approach Hagrid's hut and he is playing the flute.
"Hagrid," he stops playing, "who gave you the dragon egg? What did he look like?"
"I dunno. I never saw his face. He kept his hood up." Hagrid let out causally
"Now why would you do THAT"
"This stranger though, you and he must have talked." Primrose interrogates
"Well, he- he wanted to know what sort of creatures I looked after. I told him, I said, after Fluffy a dragon's gonna be no problem."
"Did he seem interested in Fluffy?" primrose inquires
"Well, o' course he was interested in Fluffy! How often do you come across a three-headed dog, even if you're in the trade? But I told 'im, I said, I said, 'The trick with any beast is to know how to calm 'im. Take Fluffy, for example, just play him a bit o' music, and he falls straight to sleep.' I shouldn't have told you that."
Lily let's out a sigh, "great, now they know what to do."
[The Trio plus primrose runs off]
"Where are you going? Where are you-?"
[the twins, Hermione, and Ron run into the Transfiguration classroom to talk to McGonagall.]
"We have to see Professor Dumbledore, immediately!" The twins say in a rush
"I'm afraid Professor Dumbledore is not here. He received an urgent owl from the Ministry of Magic and left immediately for London."
"He's gone! Now! But, this is important! This is about the Philosophers Stone!"
Primrose turned to glare at her twin.
McGonagall Looks shocked "How do you know-?"
"Someone's going to try to steal it!"
McGonagall shakes her head, She eyed the twins with a mixture of shock and suspicion, "I don't know how you four found out about the Stone, but I assure you it is perfectly well protected. Now, would you go back to your dormitories, quietly"
[They leave the classroom talking to each other.]
"That was no stranger Hagrid met in the village. It was Snape. This means, he knows how to get past Fluffy."
Primrose rubs her forehead, "Harry for the hundredth time! It's not snape!" Just then, Snape sneaks up behind them.
"And with Dumbledore gone-" hermione began but was cut off by a voice behind them.
"Good afternoon. Now, what would three young Gryffindors, and a slytherin, such as yourselves, be doing inside on a day like this?" He asks as he narrows his eyes at them.
[The four of them jump and quickly turn around.]
"Ah, w-w-w... we- we were just-" Hermione stammered
"You ought to be careful. People will think you're... up to something." He finishes with a werid creepy smile and Walks away.
James shivered, "Yeah I think I'm going to have nightmare tonight."
Snape sneers at him, "watch it potter." He spits out with so much disdain.
"Now, what do we do?"
Harry with a determined look turns to look at them, "We go down the trap door, tonight."
"Harry Potter! you better not!" lily screams, face almost as red as her hair.
[Nighttime. In the Gryffindor Common Room. The three friends come down the stairs and begin to walk across the floor. They stop when they hear croaking.]
"Trevor."
"Trevor shh! Go, you shouldn't be here!"
Neville appears behind a chair, "Neither should you. You're sneaking out again, aren't you?"
"Now, Neville, listen. We were -"
"No! I won't let you!" he stands, hurrying to stand in front of the portrait hole.
"You'll get Gryffindor in trouble again! I-I'll fight you." Neville holds out his fists.
"Neville, I'm sorry about this..." she takes out her wand "Petrificus Totalus."
Neville's arms snapped to his sides. His legs sprang together. His whole body rigid, he swayed where he stood and then fell flat on his face, stiff as a board. Hermione puts her wand back.
Alice frowns,
"You're a little scary sometimes...you know that? Brilliant, but scary." Ron glups
"I ship them!" Marlene says to her girlfriend, Dorcas
Dorcas sighs, shaking her head, "there eleven years old, marls!"
"Im totally winning that bet." Regulus says smugly.
"Let's go." he walks by Neville and mutters a small 'Sorry.'
"Sorry."
"It's for your own good, you know."
[The three are under the Invisibility cloak, sneaking along the corridor as primrose hurries up to join.]
"Ow! You stood on my foot!"
"Ah good old memories" James sighs,
"Pete, remember when you trip over mounts foot and sent us tumbling down the stairs."
Peter turns red, "I said I was sorry over a million times, Padfoot!"
"Sorry" Primrose whispers as she gets under the cloak
A flame lights. Primrose draws out her wand and points it at the door.
"Alohomora."
[The door opens and they go in.]
"Wait a minute...he's...."
[a blow of air, and the cape flutters off them.]
"Sleeping."
"Snape's already been here. He's put a spell on the harp. He's probably taken my sisters with him."
Primrose rolls her eyes, "I give up with you"
[They approach the sleeping dog.]
Ron gags, "Uh. It's got horrible breath!"
"We have to move its paw."
"What?!"
"We need to move its paw to get through the door." Primrose answers
"Come on!" Harry grabs paw, which is blocking the door. "Okay. Push!" They strain and move it. Until They open the door. "I'll go first. Don't follow until I give you a sign." Fluffy's eyes open.
"If something bad happens, get yourselves out...Does it seem a bit...quiet?"
"I think this is a bad idea," James says causing people to look at him weird
"I think they should just quickly get out of there right now!" Yells a worried lookin Molly Weasly
Hermione suddenly realize something, "The harp. It stopped playing."
"Fuck!"
Drool from one head comes down on Ron's shoulder.
"Ew! Yuck! Ugh." He gags
All four kids look up and see Fluffy standing there. Fluffy barks and growls, thrashing. It breaks the harp and dives at the four.
"Jump! Go!" They all jump through the trapdoor.
"Ahh!" Ron gasps as he lands on some mushy black ropelike vines. "Whoa. Lucky this plant-thing is here, really."
Alice gasp, "that plant thing is devil snare"
That makes lily freak out more, which cause James to freak out which then cause Sirius to freak out.
"Whoa!" The plant begins to move towards them. "Oh. Ahh!" The plant ties them up.
"Stop moving, both of you. This is Devil's Snare. You have to relax. If you don't, it will only kill you faster." Hermione order
"kIll us! I'm too pretty to die!"
"You know I've heard that before." Remus say turning to look at the two drama heads he calls friends
"What it's true we're too pretty to die" Sirius shrugs as James nods
"Kill us faster?! Oh, now I can relax!" Snarled Ron as he leans back, trying to stop the plant from curling around his neck.
Hermione manages a smile as she is sucked down below.
"Hermione!!" The three of them yell as she disappears
Ron looks at the twins "Now what are we gonna do?!"
"Just relax!" Hermione yells
"Hermione! Where are you?!"
Primrose relaxes and also gets sucked down.
"Rosie!"
"Do what Hermione say. Trust me."
Harry relaxes and is sucked through.
"Ahh! Harry!"
Harry falls through and lands on the hard ground. Primrose goes over to him and he stands up.
"Harry!" Ron yells from up above, still trapped in the devil's snare
"Are you okay?" Hermione asks Harry
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine."
"Help!"
"He's not relaxing, is he?"
"Nope"
"Apparently not."
"Help! Help me!"
"We've got to do something!" Hermione cried out
"What?"
"Uh! I remember reading something in Herbology."
"Help"
"We're trying! Clam done!" Primrose yells
"Um Devil's Snare, Devil's Scare," The snare shuts Ron's mouth "it's deadly fun...but will sulk in the sun! That's it! Devil's Snare hates sunlight!" She takes out wand and points upwards. "Lumus Solem!" A beam of light shoots out. The Snare shrieks and recoils, Ron falls below.
"Ahhh!"
"Ron, are you okay?" Harry asks
"Yeah."Ron says as he stands up "Whew. Lucky we didn't panic!"
"Yeah Ron, lucky us." Primrose says sarcastically
"Lucky Hermione pays attention in Herbology."
A sound is heard from somewhere,
"What is that?"
"I don't know. Sounds like wings."
[They enter into a room filled with golden "birds."]
"Curious. I've never seen birds like these."
"They're not birds!" Harry said suddenly. "They're keys! Winged keys — look carefully. So that must mean..." he looked around the chamber while the other three squinted up at the flock of keys. "...yes — look! Broomsticks! We've got to catch the key to the door!"
Evan gasp, "he has a brain"
Barty snorts, "like you have any room to talk."
"Look at you finally using your brain,"
[Ron creeps over to the door and takes out his wand.]
The rattles lock. "Alohomora!" He Shrugs "Well, it was worth a try.
Hermione groans "Ugh! What're we going to do? There must be 1000 keys up there!"
"We're looking for a big old fashioned one. Probably rusty like the handle."
"There! I see it!" He points "The one with the broken wing!" He looks over at the broom.
"What's wrong, Harry?" His twin ask
He frowns, "It's too simple."
"Oh, go on, Harry! If Snape can catch it on that old broomstick, you can! You're the youngest seeker in a century! Besides! What about Sunflower and Songbird! They need us! Especially you!"
[Harry nods and grabs the broom. All the keys suddenly go one direction, right at Harry. He climbs on, swiping at them.]
"This complicates things a bit!"
"Well duh!" Regulus shakes his head
"No shit you carrot head!"
[Harry pushes off into the air. He flies off, after the key. The others follow him. Harry grabs the key.]
" Catch the key!"
He zooms by and throws the key to primrose, who catches it and heads for the lock while Harry distracts the other keys, She puts it in the lock.
"Hurry up!"
The door opens, and they rush through, followed by Harry. They shut the door just as the keys slam up against it.
