chapter on...
Harry looked at Ron, who had walked over to gate and beamed back at Harry. 'I'm not sure, but it looks like it's made of gold,.. and I mean pure gold' Ron said. Harry walked over and examined the gate. 'You're right, it does,...' his eye fell on a small sign on one side of the gate. He bend over and read out loud: 'Acceptus. Veneficus, encedo Soleil School' he looked round at Ron. 'Uhm... any idea?'
Luckily, Harry remembered a spell to translate the words into English. 'Mutatio!' he read the words again; 'Welcome. Wizards, enter into Soleil School'. When he spoke them out loud, suddenly, the ground started to shake. A flash of pink light shot from nowhere to the little sign and when Harry opened his eyes, the words had changed. He frowned and looked round at Ron, who nodded. Harry read out the words again 'Narro appelo commodo' again, he flicked his wand and murmered 'Mutatio!' and the words were translated again. He read out loud 'Say name please' Ron shrugged and simply said 'Ron Weasley and Harry Potter!' to the gate. Harry expected the ground to shake again, but instead, a heavy wind blew him almost from his feet. A red light flashed to the sign and the words changed again. 'Consto. Discedo.' The words were not written in black anymore, but were now of a deep red colour.
After Harry translated it, he read 'Stop. Go away' Ron gave him a quick glare. Before either one of them could say something, the ground began to shake again and suddenly the ground below their feet started to crack. Harry felt how his feet slipped away and before he could fall to the ground, it dissapeared and he fell into a dark and deep hole.
Harry coughed while opening his eyes. The ground beneath him was soft, silky sand. He looked around and saw Ron standing up and brushing his clothes. Harry got up as well and looked up at the hole were they had fallen through. The sun was shining through it. 'Hey,.. Hey Ron, we need to get back there!' he shouted at Ron, who walked into one of the underground caves. He turned around and looked up as well. 'Yeah, and HOW?' Harry covered his eyes with his hand a bit so he could look in the sun. But just as he opened his mouth to reply, something, from Harry's point of view it seemed like a huge plate, moved over the entrance. Suddenly, the whole underground area seemed a lot darker. There was no more opening. Harry narrowed his eyes to see what was written on the 'door' above him. He could not read it so he immediatly said 'Lumos Lacuna' so the words would light up for a few seconds. 'Labores Solis' he whispered.
It took them both a few minutes to realise that they were trapped. Trapped underground. Nervously, Ron whispered 'Lumos' and the tip of his wand lightened the underground cave they were in. Harry shivered. It was cold. 'What are we going to do?' Ron asked, slightly shaking. 'I guess we need to get out of here,...' Harry said, looking into one of the many caves. 'Which way do you want to go?' He asked Ron. Ron shrugged. 'That way,..' he suggested, pointing with his wand at the path across them.
They walked for a long time, both not saying a word. There was nothing to say. They were trapped. They were lost. They were not helping Hermione in any way this way. Harry noticed a ray of light shining at the end of the cave. 'Look, maybe there's an exit' he said encouraging. He and Ron quickened their pace, to discover a huge lake at the end of the path. On the bottom of it, there were thousand shining things, Harry could not recognize what they were, but from here it seemed like it were diamonds. He looked round at Ron.
Ron was narrowing his eyes to see what was at the other end of the lake. 'The path goes on,...' he said. Harry nodded. 'We need to cross this lake,...' he replied. 'Or we can make the water dissapear,.... don't you know a spell or something?' Ron asked hopefully. Harry thought for a moment but came to the discovery he didn't know that many spells because Hermione was usually the one to come up with new spells,.. he shook his head. 'So,..' Ron moved his weight to his other leg 'We need to swim,..'
