Okay, sorry this took so long, I was kinda thinking about this and several other stories at the same time. So here is chapter 3……

The group of them continued down the passage, Hermione in tears. Neville was breathing heavily, as though he was becoming increasingly afraid of the school and whoever or whatever had killed Colin Creevey.

'Well.' Harry said, breaking the silence. 'Does anybody have another way out of here?'

There was another long silence.

'Maybe we should go to the North Tower or something, so we can let everyone know we're here?' Hermione said, putting a thought in the air.

'Yeah, let's go up really high so we can all get pushed off, save whoever's after us the trouble..' Draco sneered. 'I'm going to find my own way out of here! Come one guys.'

And so Draco, Crabbe, Goyle and Pansy all left, leaving Harry, Ron, Hermione and Neville alone.

'Well…..' Hermione said. 'They'll get really far, seeing as they're headed for the Owlery, a nice dead end there. Come on, let's go to the Tower…'



Meanwhile, Draco and the other Slytherins were walking around in circles, and arguments were beginning to break out.

'Draco, you're leading us around in circles.' Pansy complained. 'We should have stuck with the others, at least they know they're way around this place.'

Draco turned around.

'I know exactly where we are, we're at.' He turned and opened a door, revealing the huge Owlery. 'we're at the Owlery. Who would think of looking for us in there, now let's go…'

'Are you sure you should be going up there?' Pansy said 'If you fall from the top of the Owlery it'll be as effective as falling from the North Tower.'

'It'll be fine, besides, there's nobody here.' Draco said.

Draco of course, didn't notice the figure only a short way up the ramp, at a sufficient height that if a person was pushed off they would probably fall to their death. Pansy however, did notice him.

'Draco, look up there!!' Pansy said, but Draco was unable to hear her, owls were flying around the room, all of which were screeching loudly. So Draco, being his usual self, looked up above him, where Pansy was pointing, whilst he was walking around in the fashion of a person about to die in a horror film. Eventually however, he reached the figure, who simply extended an arm, and Draco fell……
