Chapter 8: Fluffy The Frightening Fluffball
After flying lessons I was able to find Harry.I ran up to him and hugged him so hard I almost knocked him down.
"What's this for?" he asked. I let go.
"I thought you were gonna be expelled!" I said. Then I punched him on the shoulder
"Ow!What was that for?"he asked
"That's for making me THINK you were gonna be expelled!"I said "Please don't do anything like that again. And if you're not being expelled, then why did McGonagall need you?" I asked
"I promise I wont do anything to get me expelled and she wanted me to join the Quidditch team.
"Quidditch?Oh, yeah my mom told me it's a sport."
"Yeah, she wants me to play Seeker."But after he finished I had just happened to notice Ron.
"Oh hey Ron. How long were you there?"I asked.
"I was here the whole time!"
"Oh.Sorry"
"Its okay, but anyway Harry,making the Quidditch team in your first year? You have to be the youngest seeker in a century!" said Ron.
Then I noticed Fred and George come up to us
"Hey RedheadFred, GingerGeorge.How's it going?"
"Great. Wood told us you made the team Harry.Good job!"said Fred
"Fred and George are on the team,Beaters." said Ron.
I spaced out thinking of my dream again,the evil glint in my Dream-Harry's blue eyes,smiling, enjoying every second of my emotional pain. When I looked into Harry's eyes,there was no trace of it.Just his warm and friendly blue eyes. Of course there isn't idiot. That wasn't Harry in your dream. Just your insecurities of your past. Its time to let it go.
After having a nice dinner,us three,and Hermione and Michy,were going to go to the common room.While we were going up the stairs I noticed a rumbling under our feet and saw we were changing direction.Oh god the staircase is changing!We ended up next to the wrong room,obviously,so we decided to go through there and see if we could find a different way to the common room.
But when we opened the door, we saw an abandoned hall.Dark,dusty,creepy and it gave me really bad vibes.
"I dont think we should be in here."said Harry
"That's cause were not supposed to be in here.This is the third floor.It's forbidden!"said Hermione
"You remember what Dumbledore said,right.'For those who do not wish to suffer a painful death'."Michy paused "I'm leaving!"
"Amen to that!"I said. We were turning around, when we noticed a cat right in front of us.
"It's Filch's cat!"said Hermione
"Run!" said Harry.Didn't need to be told twice.We ran as fast as we could down the hall,as the fires started turning on as we ran(not the way I was hoping to run) till we reached a door.
"It's locked!"said Harry.I tried to ram it down with my shoulder, since it looked old and worn I thought I could break it, but you can never judge a book by its cover,cause now I'm sure the only thing I splintered was my shoulder blade.
"Oh move over!" said Hermione as she pushed me out of the way. "Alohomora" she said and the door instantly opened.We all ran in and shut the door.Hermione,Ron,Michelle and I were trying to hear if Filch had left yet.
"Oh good!He's gone!He probably thought this room is locked"
"Earth to Redhead!According to my bruised shoulder, it WAS locked!"
"And for good reason." said Harry,out of nowhere.
Then I noticed the giant,black fluff ball that was almost as big as the room,snoozing,waking up to 5 juicy snacks.
Hermione and Ron had turned to face the thing,which when I looked better, I saw that it was a giant dog with three heads.
My scream mixed with the others as the thing growled at us,obviously surprised of our presence.
Didn't need to be told once to run this time. We ran out of there faster than when we were running from Filch,which is a pretty impressive thing seeing as I can't run for my life, which strangely enough, I had just managed to do.
We were able to lock the door in its face before it came out, but that was really scary.

"What are they thinking? Leaving a thing like that in a school!"said Ron as we were walking toward the common room.
"Didn't you notice?"
"Notice what,smart one?"I snapped
"It was sitting on a trapdoor.In other words,it's guarding something." said Hermione as if it was an obvious we were gonna look at what it was sitting on.
"Well, sorry, but I was a little to focused on its heads, which I might remind you, there were THREE of em!"Ron protested.
"What was that thing anyway?" asked Harry. Ron and Harry stared at Hermione
''Well, I don't know!" she yelled.
"It was a Cerberus" I said. Everybody else stopped in their tracks and stared at me.
"How do you possibly know that"asked Ron. Oh wow so now I can't be smart.
"It's Greek mythology.You know, Cerberus, the giant three headed dog that guards the Underworld.Am I the only one that know this?"
Harry and Hermione nodded.But Ron and looked confused. "What exactly are you talking about?"asked Ron
"Oh right,not raised like a muggle.Greek myths are stories and beliefs that the muggles of Greece had over 2000 years ago."
"And how do you know about Greek Mythology? You're not the kind of girl to study for fun'' said Harry
"You're right.Cause I'm not Hermione.But I just know, okay?''
"Well I'm going to bed before any of you have any more brilliant ideas to get us killed.Or worse, expelled."said Hermione,as she went into the girl's dorm.
"Okay, since when is getting kicked out of here worse than dying?"I asked,not really to anyone
"That girl needs to sort out her priorities" said Ron.True that.And since when was it our idea?
OH BY THE WAY, percyjrules, I HOPE I GOT IT RIGHT THIS TIME, I'M POSTING THE PIC DOWN HERE
