Chapter 10: Fluffy, keys and chess?

Freds POV

"I CANT BELIEVE THIS!" I yelled as I sat on my bed.

It's okay..." George started but cut off mid sentence when he looked at me.

"It's not okay...i dont see why she wont let me go!" I said more to myself.

"She's being a good friend... She dont want you to get hurt." George said sitting down next to me and patted my back.

"But... But what if she gets hurt," i said, all anger gone.

"She's Hermione, She'll be fine."

"Yeah," I said as I got up and pulled on my pjs.

George already had his on and was in his bed snoring.

I layed in my bed and thought of `Mione.

Why won't she let me go with her? Does she not wont me to go for other reasons? Did She not trust me to go? I thought.

I stayed up for awhile just haveing thoughts running through my head and finally found a dream filled sleep.

Hermione's POV

I couldn't let fred go with us. If he got hurt it would kill me. He was my first friend and one of my best friends; I couldnt see him getting hurt because of me. Its bad enough i have to watch Harry and Ron go. I thought as i layed awake.

I knew Fred would be mad at me but i had to do it.

I drifted off to sleep early in the morning.

"You ready hermione?" I heard Harry say as I walked down stairs. It was midnight and we were planning to go find the stone tonight.

"Yeah," i whispered as i started out the Common room.

"You're sneaking out again, arent you?" Neville said coming out of nowhere.

"Now, Neville, listen. We were..." Harry started.

"No! I won't let you! You'll get Gryffindor in trouble again! I-I'll fight you," He said holding up his fists.

"Neville, i'm really sorry about this," I pulled out my wand. "Petrificus Totalus!" i say and Neville falls to the ground.

"You're a little scary sometimess...You know that? Brilliant, but scary." Ron says and i giggle as we walk out the common room. But before i walk out i hear someone scream"NO!"

Fred's POV

"i Knew `Mione, Harry, and Ron would be leaving around midnight so I slowly walk down the steps to the common room.

I hear George behind me but i dont turn around as I peak around the corner.

`MIone had just pulled out her wand and said, "Petrificus Totalus!" Neville fell to the ground.

`Mione, Harry and Ron all mumble a "sorry" and started out the door.

I started to run towards them but George held me back, "NO!" i screamed trying to get free.

"Fred, you have to calm down! Hermione will be fine." George said as a tear trailed down my cheek.

"B-B-But-" i said before George pulled me in a hug.

I cryed into his shoulder as he mumbled thing like, "shes a bright witch, she'll be fine" and "She didnt want you to go because she knew she would be fine"

After I stopped crying, George and I sat on the couch and watched the door for the common room. (i dont know what happened to neville in the book so the next part im going to wing it)

George undid `Miones spell and Neville started to yell at us.

Before He could get a word out George hit him with a spell makeing him fall on a chair and into a deep sleep.

I walked around the common room for what felt like forever.

Neville and George where asleep and no one else seemed to be up.

i waited for `MIone to come through the door looking as good as new but she didnt show.

I walked and sat down on the couch and fell asleep.

Hermione's POV

We approched the door and Ron opened it. We heard music playing and Fluffy was asleep.

We walked towards the trapdoor when I heard Ron yell "YUCK!" I turned around and saw that Fluffy had slobbered on him.

Fluffy must have heard Ron because Fluffy eyes were open and he was fullt aware of the situation.

The music stoped playing.

"RUN!" I yelled and ran to the trap door.

I motioned for all of us to jump inside the door and we all jumped into it.

I found myself in a strange plant that felt like it was trying to kill me.

"Guy's! You need to relax! This is Devil's Snare. The more you resist, the quicker you die!" I yelled to Ron and Harry.

"Are you mad? I cant relax when im about to get killed!" Ron yelled to me, while struggling even more.

I started to relax and I fell deeper into the Devil's Snare. I landed on concrete floor and heard Ron screams of HERMIONE!.

"Ronald! I'm okay! You have to relax!" i said and saw Harry fall beside me.

"He's not relaxing is he?" i asked Harry after he got up. He shook his head.

i started to think out loud, " What is the enemy of Devil's Snare? OH right! Fire and light. Lumos Solem!" i said and pointed my wand to the Devil's Snare causeing Ron to fall in front of Harry and I.

"You should have listened to me," i said walked through the door, leading to the next task.

I think All the tasks involves each provessor. Fluffy was Hagrid and the Devil's Snare must be Professor Sprout, I thought.

Is we neared the next door I started to hear flapping. I opened the door and we all walked in. We saw a thousand keys flying around the room.

This must be Professor flinwicks charm, i thought.

"Theres the door!" i said and ran to the door on the other side of the room. "its locked," i said as i tried to open the door with opening charms that did not work.

"There's a broom here...OH i get it! we have to find the key that fits the lock.." heard Harry say.

"But that could take forever," ron said.

"Harry, how `bout you try to find they, while I try to open the door. The key will be different from the others!" i said and Harry mounted the broom.

"Guys! i think i found it! Its the one with the broken wing!" i heard Harry say and turned around to see him chasing the key while running from the others that was chaing him.

"Hurry Harry!" i yelled toward him.

Harry finally caught the key and threw it to me. I unlocked the door and Ron with through. Harry flew through the door and i closed it quickly and fell down, leaning against the door.

"Everyone here?" i asked and heard yups from Ron and Harry. We went to the next door, hopeing the next task was easier.

I was the last one to walk into the room. i walked into a room with a checkered floor.

Harry started towards the door at the other end of the room but The white statues in the first row blocked his way.

"Bloody Hell! This is wizards chess! Real life wizards Chess! We have to play asre ways out if this!" Ron said.

"Blimey!" Was all i said.

"Okay! Everyone get on a spot ill be the knight," Ron said sitting on the top of a horse. Me ands harry moved to our spots.

A few minutes later half our black knight were destroyed, Ron was the only knight on the left. Harry was looking at Ron with a look of fear.

"You understand, right Harry? Once i make my move, the queen will take me. Then you're free to check the king," Ron said.

"NO Ron!" Harry screamed.

"what is it!" I asked.

"He's going to sacrifice himself," Harry told me.

"NO YOU CAN"T RON!" i yelled at Ron.

"Do you want to stop Snape from getting the stone or not? Harry, it's you that has to go on! Not me, not Hermione. You!" Ron said and Harry nodded.

"Knight to H3!" Ron said and he statue started to move. The queen took her sword and broke Ron's statue. i tried running to him but Harry yelled, "NO! Dont move! Were still playing the game!"

Harry made his way to the king and said, "check mate!" The king dropped his sword. We made are way to Ron and Harry said, "take care of Ron!" He said and started towards the door.

"wait Harry!" i said and ran to him, "You'll be okay, Harry. You're a great wizard. You really are." i said and gave him a hug.

"Not as good as you, Hermione." he said returning the hug.

"Me? Books and cleverness? There are more important things," i said and pulled away smiling, "Friendship and bravery! And Harry, please be careful."

He nodded and went through the door.

"I went to Ron and put i simple inlightment charm on him and picked him up. We made our way to the Hospital wing, Where i will send an owl to Dumbledore.
