Rose layed eyes on 'Fluffy' for the very first time. He was a huge, greyis brown dog with three heads, he was fast asleep in the room with a harp at his gigantic feet.

"What's that at its feet," Hermonie whispered.

"Looks like a harp," Ron whispered. "Snape must have left it."

"Really Ron, does a harp really sound like Snape's style?" Rose asked as she backed away from the dog. Ron scoffed at Rose defending Snape.

"It must wake up when you stop playing..." Harry put a flute up to his mouth. "Well...here I go." Harry blew into the flute and created the most horrible sound, it sounded like a mangled rendition of 'twinkle, twinkle little star'. Rose covered her ears and watched as the dog's eyes fluttered (a weirdly gentle movement for such a monsterous beast) and finally closed. Rose crept closer to Fluffy and studied the dogs face. She knew she would be afraid if the dog was awake but while he was asleep the Fluffy looked rather welcoming.

"Rose stop looking at the dog and get down the trap down," Hermonie grabbed her arm and pulled her down with her after Harry jumped down into the endless dark. Ron followed the girls seconds later. They landed on something soft and apparently plant like.

"What is this stuff," Rose asked.

"Some kind of plant," Ron replied while he felt it with his hands.

"We're lucky we had it to break our fall," Rose said as she felt something move around her.

"Lucky! Shrieked Hermonie. "Look at yourselves!"

Hermonie tried to back up against the wall, but the plant had already snared her into it's trap. Rose was alarmed when she noticed the plant had wrapped itself around her stomach and working its way up to her chest. Don't move I think it's a Devil's Snare but I'm not sure and won't be till Hermonie yells what it is Rose felt a bead of sweat fall down the side of her face while looking at Hermonie for some clue about what they should do. She heard Harry and Ron making a lot of noise trying to get free of the plant.

"Quit moving you idiots! It's Devil's Snare" Rose said harshly to the two who were almost surrounded by the plant.
"Easy for you to say! The plant hasn't covered you yet," Ron yelled.

"She's right, Ron. It is Devil's Snare," Hermonie yelled at him.

"Oh, I'm glad we know it's called, that's a great help," Ron snarled at the two of them.
"Shut up! I'm trying to figure out how to kill it!" Hermonie said.

"Well hurry up, I can't breathe," Harry gasped.

"The only thing I can remember is that it likes it dark and damp. Not the kind of place I really want to be," Rose felt the plant squeeze her stomach and move up to her chest.

"So light a fire," Harry choked.

"Yes-of course-but there's no wood," Hermonie cried wringing her hands.

"Oh right!" Hermonie said, she pulled out her wand and waved it while muttering something. A jet of fire came out at the end. The plant wiggled and pulled away letting them pull themselves away from the plant.

"We're lucky you two in attention in Herbology," Harry told them when they made it to the wall.

"Well actually Neville told me about it earlier today," Rose mumbled.

"Yeah," said Ron, "and at least Harry doesn't lose his head in a crisis- 'there's no wood,' honestly."

The only thing they could hear apart from their footsteps was the gentle sound of water trickling of water.

"Can you hear something?" Ron whispered. Rose and Harry both listened. A soft rustling and clinking that seemed to be coming up ahead
They reached the end of the passage way into a brightly lit room. There were jeweled birds playing in front of them.

"Do you think they'll attack us if we cross the room?" asked Ron

"Probably," Harry replied going on about how they don't seem vicious but they could swoop down and attack them.

Harry ran covering his face, expecting to be pecked or clawed at. Rose, Ron, and Hermonie joined on him and pulled at the door, it wouldn't move an inch.

"Now what do we do?" said Ron.

"These birds...they can't be here just for decoration," Hermonie told them. Rose looked closer at them and noticed them glittering.
"They're keys" Rose whispered to Harry.

"Your right Rose. They're not birds, their winged keys" Harry yelled suddenly. He looked around the room, "Look there's some brooms!"
"But there are hundreds of them!"

They each grabbed a broom and looked for an old silver key. Once they got on to the brooms the keys dived bombed them. Rose's fear for small things surfaced and she dived and landed on the ground she covered her head and curled into a ball. She had tears streaming down her face when the other three joined her. Hermonie pulled her into the other room and hugged her.

"What's wrong Rosie?" Harry asked her.

"I have a fear of things with wings. One time when I was little a humming bird attacked me because I had a crown of lilies in my hair. Now every time something small with wings comes near me I freak out," Rose wiped away her tears.

"That was random" Ron tried to suppress his laughter.

"Go ahead Ron laugh" Rose gave him a small smile.

"Come on we need to keep going," Harry pulled Rose into his embrace as they walked further into the room. Torches ignited and the room was bathed in light, a huge chess board was in front of them. They walked across the board stopping when the pawns pulled out their swords.
"Now what do we do," Harry whispered.

"It's obvious, isn't," said Ron. "We've got to play our way across the room."

Rose stared at Ron with amazement; he could be smart when he wanted to. There were only three spots missing so Rose voted that she would watch from the side line. She was close enough that the debris could hit her and cut her. She was shocked that Ron sacrificed himself for them to win. Rose had to stop herself from running to him until the game ended. She went straight to him and made sure he was alive and well.
"He's going to be okay," Rose whispered to a crying Hermonie. She nodded and put on a brave face as they went to the next challenge. Before them was fire in an archway. Rose looked at Hermonie who had a paper in her hand.

"This isn't about magic, its logic," Hermonie smiled. Rose didn't feel like smiling because of the attack of the flying keys and Harry was worried about Ron.

"How are we going to know which one will let us through," Harry asked looking at the bottles.

"Give me a minute." Hermonie read the paper over a couple of times and looked at the bottles. "The smallest one will let you through and there's only enough for two," Hermonie looked up at Rose and Harry. "You two go and I'll stay with Ron." Hermonie pushed the bottle into Harry's hand before going back to Ron.

"Looks like it's just us," Harry took a sip and handed it to Rose who finished off the phial.

"Here we go" Harry grabbed Rose's hand and stepped through the fire. It wasn't Snape on the other side. It wasn't even Voldemort. It was the last person they thought they would see down here.


So after the next chapter it will be summer so I was wondering what Rose and Dawn should do in there one chapter before shr goes to the Weaslys? I heart Reviews!
