That night, at eight thirty, the Doctor arrived at the Gryffindor common room and saw Harry, Ron and Hermione sitting on the couch, in front of the fire. Harry had brought his Invisibility Cloak just in case, Hermione and Ron had brought torches as they ran out of the room to the Ravenclaw common room, where they saw Chloe with a torch. They ran down to the empty Entrance Hall.

"Right," the Doctor said. "This is where we split up. Me, Harry and Ron will stay here and try to find Neville. You girls will have to check the school for any Weeping Angels, like the ones we saw in the book."

The girls nodded and ran up the stairs, and into the first door, on the first floor. The Doctor turned to the boys. "So, who's going to risk their life to rescue someone who has been taken by a statue?" he said.

"Why not you?" Harry asked.

"Well, I'm the brains of the plan. I came up with almost everything and I need to tell you what to do when you've gone…if you hear me. Basically, Dumbledore cast a spell in the castle so that a walkie-talkie can work. We'll speak to each other through it. Who's up for it?" The Doctor explained.

"I'm not going." Harry said. "I need to defeat Voldemort. I can't die before I actually battle him again."

"Ron…that leaves you. Prove you Gryffindor-ness." The Doctor said. Ron's face went bright red and he gulped.

"Fine. But if I die…beat You-know-Who, Harry…for me." Ron said.

"Ok, no time to be sentimental. We need to find him. Ron…good luck." The Doctor ran up to the stairs and watched as Harry and Ron hugged each other. Harry ran to the Doctor at the stairs and gave Ron a thumbs-up. Ron replied with a nervous smile. He took a deep breath…and closed his eyes.

He opened them. The gargoyle was inches in front of his face, its mouth wide open, showing its teeth. Its arm was about a centimetre away from Ron's shoulder. Ron turned his head to look at Harry and the Doctor. There was a bright flash of blue light and in a second, Ron had disappeared. The Doctor took out his walkie-talkie and spoke into it.

"Ron, are you there?" he asked. "Ron, tell me if you're there."

All that was heard was static…then Ron's breathless voice spoke back.

"I'm fine, I'm fine. Doctor, I can see hardly anything. It's all black." He said.

"If you can't see anything, then try to feel for Neville." The Doctor replied.

Ron didn't reply to him. The Doctor and Harry listened intently for anything. Then Ron screamed. "Argh!"

"Ron!" Harry yelled into the walkie-talkie. "Ron, are you alright?!"

It seemed as though Ron hadn't heard him. "Neville?! You're here! Oh, this is brilliant! You're not dead!" Ron said, sounding ecstatic.

"You found him?" The Doctor asked, smiling.

"Uh, yeah! He's here and he looks fine. Neville, we're going to try and get us out of here, alright?" Ron said.

"Yeah," came Neville's voice. "Can we do it quickly, please? I'm really hungry and I need to pee, as well."

"Sure thing, Neville. Hold it in." The Doctor said. He turned to Harry. "Any ideas?"

"What would happen if we smashed the gargoyle?" Harry asked.

"I don't know. We should try to use that spell that could bring people from places. Know it?" The Doctor said.

"No. I'm not even sure there's a spell like that," Harry replied. "I wish Hermione was here. She'd know what to do."

"Yeah, well, she's not here." The Doctor said. "You're a wizard, think of a spell!"

"I can't when I'm being pressured!" Harry yelled. He took his wand out and pointed his wand at the gargoyle. "Accio Ron and Neville!" he said. Nothing happened.

"Should we try to smash it, then?" The Doctor said. "Do you know the spell?"

"Yeah." Harry pointed his wand at the gargoyle. "BOMBARDA MAXIMA!" he said.

The gargoyle just cracked. Harry and the Doctor looked confused. Harry turned to him. "What was all that about?!" he said.

"Try it again, it'll be cracked again. Do it until it breaks." The Doctor instructed.

Harry kept doing it. It took him ten minutes until a piece actually broke off-its arm. Ron spoke into the walkie-talkie. "Doctor, there's a small crack in here. It's got light coming through it." He said.

"Yeah, we're trying to break the gargoyle so that you two can come out." The Doctor said.

After about another five minutes, the head came off. Harry was sweating. He wiped his forehead with his robe sleeve. "Bombarda maxima…bombarda maxima….bombarda maxima…bombarda maxima…BOMBARDA MAXIMA!" Harry's spell made the remaining parts of the gargoyle explode. Harry covered his face. Another light appeared, brighter this time. Ron and Neville got thrown out into the doors which lead out to the courtyard. "AAAAAAAAAARRGH!" they screamed.

"Ron! Neville!" Harry said, running to them, the Doctor following him.

"That hurt." Neville said, massaging his head.

The Doctor smiled and chuckled quietly. But then, there were two girls' screams. They all knew who it was-Hermione and Chloe.
