Snape and Evans gaped at the door. There was a broom beneath the crack, going back and forth as if looking for something.
"Now where're my keys?" croaked Filch from the other side, "Let's hope those two idiots didn't touch them, shall we, Mrs. Norris?"
"Oh no! We've got to get rid of the keys!" Severus frantically searched the room "what if he's got some Muggle tracking device on 'em?"
"You retard, stop! Muggle technology does not work in Hogwarts, how many times…" She was too late though, the keys were soaring through the air, destination window.
"Impedimenta!" Lily screamed, causing Filch to erupt with colorful curses. But the keys didn't stop, they changed direction and landed in a lantern hanging close to the ceiling.
"What'd we do now, Evans? Why didn't you let the keys fall?"
"'Cause we might need them later, you dolt. How're you planning to get them outta there anyway?"
"Levitate. Duh." After six failed attempts, Snape gave up and devoted to jumping for the lamp.
The light teased him, almost moving higher and higher up.
Suddenly, part of the stone floor moved away, letting Evans Severus, and the keys, haphazardly fall into the opening.
