Destiny- the first year
Chapter 14: Through the trap door
"I still think your mad Harry" Charlie said shaking her head
"But it is a possibility, that thing I saw was Voldemort then someone around the castle must be helping him." Harry said defiantly
"Yeah no one is eviler than Snape" Ron agreed
"So if not Snape, who?" Harry asked
"I don't know maybe its someone outside of the school" Hermione said
"Ok whatever but we have to find away to stop whoever it is whether it's Snape or not." Charlie said
"Let's go and get the stone ourselves!" Harry said
"That is crazy!" Hermione said shocked
"I agree with Harry" Ron said
"Me too I want to stop whoever it is" Charlie agreed
"So let's go down the trapdoor tonight" Harry said simply
"You have got to be joking Harry its breaking about twenty school rules…" Hermione began
"Since when have you cared about school rules?" Ron said shocked "you're an un-registered animagus I think breaking school rules is well inside your capabilities!"
"But it's so dangerous" Hermione complained
"Well we're going whether you like it or not!" Harry said "Are you in or out"
"In" Hermione said hesitantly "but we have to be careful"
"Whatever Mia" Charlie said "so that's settled we're going down tonight"
"Yup" Harry said glancing at his watch "oh shit we're late for potions!"
They headed off at a run down the corridors to towards the dungeons
"So, Mr. Potter, Miss Black, Mr. Weasley and Miss Granger have finally decided to join us! Well that will be ten points from Gryffindor each one for each minute each of you are late to my lesson, now get on with the work on the board!" Snape spat as the four entered the dungeon panting
"We'll wipe the smirk off his face when he sees we beat him to the stone" Harry whispered to Ron who nodded in agreement
After yet another disaster of potions (Neville had exploded his cauldron and some of his potion landed in Harry and Ron's making that explode too) Harry and the others were feeling particularly anti Slytherin and
They decided to have a bit of fun with Snape at lunch.
So after transfiguration, charms and several passed notes planning their attack not to mention a very long visit to the toilet by Harry while he collected several item some of which he had to sneak into Snape's office for they were ready.
"After three Ron I'll begin the distraction" Harry whispered in Ron's ear "two drops will do, one two three!"
Harry tapped a tampered with filibusters firework with his wand and let it go he set off another and another and another till the hall was filled with dancing fireworks spelling out things like 'Slytherin sucks' and 'suck on this' the teachers began to get rid of the fireworks and Ron returned to Harry's side and placed a vile back in his hand and Harry pocketed it.
Finally all the fireworks were gone and the teacher sat back down and Snape drained his cup.
Harry and Ron exchanged a look before turning back to their food.
"Could you pass the potatoes?" McGonagall asked Snape
"No not a chance" Snape said "did you know I'm wearing pink underpants?"
The Hall burst out laughing
"Shut up you arrogant twits at least I can complete as simple potion with out exploding it, but I can't complete a polyjuice potion I've tried and tried but it doesn't work, I never have been able to"
Harry, Ron and Charlie were rolling around the floor laughing
"Severus, are you ok?" Dumbledore asked
"No I'm not why wont you let me be the defense against the dark arts professor? Why do you like Black better than me? Is it because when I'm drunk I sing outside your office all night?" Snape asked
Dumbledore hid a smile
"I think you better go to your office Snape" he said
"Why? Have you hidden some Bertie botts beans in there again" Snape asked his face going even whiter "you know I can't stand them there so freaky and they do the strangest things to my…"
"Go to your office now!" Dumbledore butted in.
"Fine sir I'm-so-much-higher-than-you-I-can-control-your-life" Snape sneered standing up and leaving
"Please go back to eating we will sort Professors Snape's mouth out" Dumbledore smiled pleasantly causing yet more stifled laughter
"What did you do to him?" Hermione asked
"Just gave him a bit of veritesium, that'll teach him" Harry laughed
"Harry!" Hermione said shocked "where on earth did you get veritesium?"
"From Snape's office of course" Harry laughed
"How much did you give him?" Charlie asked curiously
"Two drops, so he'll be like that for two hours!" Harry grinned
They were spared the rest of Hermione's lecture by Sirius who came over to congratulating them on a good
Prank.
After a fairly uneventful afternoon Harry, Ron, Charlie and Hermione were sat in the common room with their heads together planning their night's adventure.
"..So we go to bed in a minute and then at midnight we sneak back down and out when everybody is in bed once we're out we'll use the cloak and head towards the third floor got it?" Harry whispered
Everyone nodded
"Let's go to bed then!" Charlie whispered
They split of to head to their dorms to wait for midnight
Finally midnight came and Harry and Ron snuck down the stairs where Hermione and Charlie were already waiting.
"Come on then let's go!" Harry said
"Where are you going?' came a voice from the boys stairs
"Nowhere Neville" Ron replied "go back to bed"
"No I'll tell professor McGonagall" he stuttered
"Shut up Neville and leave us be!" Harry said before putting him in a full body bind using his wand less
Magic
"Good one Harry" Ron grinned
"Come on" Charlie said ushering the others pout of the portrait hole.
They threw the cloak around themselves before continuing down the dark halls till they came to the third flood and finally the door leading to where fluffy was.
Harry cautiously opened the door only to be met by three pairs of eyes shutting it again he turned to the others.
"How do we get passed that?" He asked
"I have an idea" Hermione said quietly "I saw Hagrid playing music for fang to get him to sleep maybe fluffy will do the same"
"It's worth a try" Charlie shrugged
"We don't have an instrument though" Ron said
"Now we do" Harry said conjuring a flute
He gave it to Hermione
"You play it you're bound to be better at it than me" he said
Hermione nodded began playing the flute and Harry look into the room where the dog was sound asleep.
"Its working!" he whispered "keep playing"
The four of them entered the room cautiously and Harry lifted the lid of the trap door.
"I'll go first if there's any problems go and find Sirius and tell Dumbledore don't follow me unless I shout that it's safe" Harry said bravely "I'm going down"
And with that he jumped into the black hole.
