Next chapter! Thank you for all the reviews I've gotten so far in the story! So sorry! It's late and very short...
Argh, I still have to do my homework too!
Chapter 15: Down the Trap Door9PM, 3rd Floor…
Kagome, Yusuke, Kurama, Sango…
"Here we are" Kagome whispered, her feet lightly tapping the floor along with the other 3, "Alohomora" she whispered, drawing her wand and pointing it at the lock.
Music was already playing from a harp inside, but then stopped as soon as they got in.
"Great…" Kurama sighed as the dogs started to wake up.
Before they could make a sound though, Kagome whipped out her flute from the conference and started to play a tune. Enchanting the harp once more, it copied the tune and repeated itself. Kurama soon joined in with her with his flute.
"Hold on, do you hear that?" Kurama asked, laying a hand on Kagome's shoulder, "Never mind, I just thought I heard something"
Yusuke bent down and pulled the handle of the door up with a jerk. He fell back, holding the handle, "Damn" he cursed silently.
Sango released an aggravated sigh, "Be more careful, would you?" she took our her own wand and grabbed the handle, placing it back in the door, "Oculus Repairo"
With a sort of swiveling sound, it placed itself back into the door.
Grabbing the handle once again, Sango opened the door and a bit hesitantly, they jumped in, slamming the door shut behind them.
Harry, Hermionie, Ron…
"Somebody's already here!" Harry hissed to his two companions, taking off the cloak.
The crept up behind the door and peered through the crack. Ron stumbled forward a bit and accidentally hit the wall.
"Shhh!" Hermionie whispered.
"Is that…?" Ron widened his eyes as he took in the sight.
Kagome played the flute and another tune started playing. Kurama joined in.
The three students watched as the 4 fumbled around a bit with the door, then jumped in.
"I think we should wait until they're a bit ahead" Hermionie suggested.
"Good idea"
Kagome, Sango, Yusuke, Kurama…
They landed on something hard and moving!
"Devil's snare!" Sango hissed.
"We learned this in Herbology, but I wasn't really paying attention to Kurama" Yusuke laughed nervously, scratching the back of his head before a vine reached up and snatched his wrist.
Kurama let out an exasperated sigh, "I'll put it one way. Relax and you'll fall to the bottom"
"Ok then…" Kagome took a deep breath and closed her eyes, relaxing her muscles.
"Kagome!" Sango called out to her as the miko started sinking.
"I'm fine, don't worry!" A voice yelled out from below them, "It's pretty safe to go down here, go ahead!"
With that signal, the other three sunk down underneath the constricting plant.
"That's a good trap you put up, Kurama" Kagome complimented, smiling.
"Thanks"
"My wrists hurt" Yusuke complained.
"Suck it up" Sango rolled her eyes, then smirked, backhanded him behind his head.
"Aww, Sango! You know you love me" Yusuke smiled to innocently.
Sango scowled, then added in a sarcastic reply, "Yeah, sure"
"I really mean it" (So un-Yusuke like! Scary! . )
Without anything else much to say now, they carefully chose a tunnel and started their way down the damp and eerie, but oddly organized path.
Hermionie, Harry, Ron…
"Ok, let's go now" Harry whispered, beckoning his other two friends forward as he rushed towards the closed trap door.
"This is the music that they left for the dogs," Hermionie observed, peering closely at the harp.
"Hey Ron, help me remove this paw!" Harry beckoned Ron over and they both tried to pull the paw off the trap door. The…creature…had rolled over a bit in its sleep.
After Hermionie joined in pulling, the claws of the beast made tiny scratch marks across the hard, wooden surface on the trapdoor as it dragged across the ground.
Jerking open the door, the three students peered inside.
"Are you sure this is safe?" Ron hesitated.
There was a pause.
"Doesn't it seem a bit…quiet to you?" Hermionie's voice started to crack in worry.
"There's no more music" Harry stated, "There's no more music…"
"GROSS!" The other two whipped their head around alarmingly at Ron, who was holding what seemed like a glob of slime.
A hot breath blew down on them and they started screaming as they came to the realization that the music had stopped playing and the dog-thing was awake.
Growls were heard and that was the only warning they needed before Hermionie jumped in and Harry pushed an unsuspecting screaming Ron through the hole before diving in himself.
So sorry! I wanted to make this longer, but I just realized that 'homework season' is back and I've got so much to do!
You know, this season occurs about 20-50 times a year and lasts a bit more than a week…
Anyways, hope you enjoyed it despite its shortness! . SO SORRY! GOMEN!
