We pulled on our bathrobes, picked up our wands, and crept across the tower room, down the spiral staircase, and into the Gryffindor common room. A few embers were still glowing in the fireplace, turning all the armchairs into hunched black shadows. We had almost reached the portrait hole when a voice spoke from the chair nearest us.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtVKMxd3eK

"Come on," I said to Ron. We pushed open the portrait of the Fat Lady and climbed through the hole. Unfortunately for us, Hermione wasn't going to give up that easily. She followed Ron through the portrait hole, hissing at us like an angry goose. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVCWeQdQPM

"All right, but I warned you, you just remember what I said when you're on the train home tomorrow, you're so -"But what we were, we didn't find out. Hermione had turned to the portrait of the Fat Lady to get back inside and found herself facing an empty painting. The Fat Lady had gone on a nighttime visit and Hermione was locked out of Gryffindor tower. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCldMFQ3F8

Ron looked at his watch and then glared furiously at Hermione, Neville, and I."If either of you get us caught, I'll never rest until I've learned that Curse of the Bogies Quirrell told us about, and used it on you." Hermione opened her mouth, perhaps to tell Ron exactly how to use the Curse of the Bogies, but Harry hissed at her to be quiet and beckoned us all forward. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJxmGrfGL4

We flitted along corridors striped with bars of moonlight from the high windows. At every turn I expected to run into Filch or Mrs.Norris, but we were lucky. We sped up a staircase to the third floor and tiptoed toward the trophy room. Malfoy and Crabbe weren't there yet. The crystal trophy cases glimmered where the moonlight caught them. Cups, shields, plates, and statues winked silver and gold in the darkness. As we edged along the walls,keeping our eyes on the doors at either end of the room, I felt a sense of foreboding wash over me. Something felt wrong. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0W7mUFT0O

"Sniff around, my sweet, they might be lurking in a corner."It was Filch speaking to Mrs. Norris. Horror-struck, Harry waved madly at us to follow him as quickly as possible; we scurried silently toward the door, away from Filch's voice. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsijR52WOVJ

"This way!" Harry mouthed to us and, petrified, we all began to creep down a long gallery full of suits of armor. We could hear Filch getting nearer. Neville suddenly let out a frightened squeak and broke into a run - tripped, grabbed Ron around the waist, and the pair of them toppled right into a suit of armor.The clanging and crashing were enough to wake the whole castle.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEHsWHW6c9

"Should tell Filch, I should," said Peeves in a saintly voice, but his eyes glittered wickedly. "It's for your own good, you know." I was about to step in and try to persuade Peeves; who for some reason liked me more than others, but then Ron ruined any chance of a compromise.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kk26sZ0QY

I turned around - and saw, quite clearly, what. For a moment, I was sure I'd walked into a nightmare - this was too much, on top of everything that had happened so far. We weren't in a room, as we had supposed. We were in a corridor. The forbidden corridor on the third floor. And now we knew why it was forbidden. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmWDxoiS69

I was looking straight into the eyes of a monstrous dog, a dog that filled the whole space between ceiling and floor. It had three heads.Three pairs of rolling, mad eyes; three noses, twitching and quivering in our direction; three drooling mouths, saliva hanging in slippery ropes from yellowish fangs.It was standing quite still, all six eyes staring at us, and I knew that the only reason we weren't already dead was that our sudden appearance had taken it by surprise.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLnY8mJRdy

Together we slammed the door shut, and ran back down the corridor.
