20 Fighting Voldemort!!! (1/2)

``I still can't believe that all it takes to bypass a Cerberus is Gentle Music!'' Ron had just taken a peek inside with Jack and found a Musical Instrument playing itself and the Giant Three Headed Dog just taking a nap. ``Don't take that to be the normal behaviour of a Cerberus, this one is Hagrid's pet, he's tame, normal Cerberus aren't so easy to take care of.'' While Ron and Jack were talking, the rest of the group arrived and all of them had questions but they held it in and just asked the one important one, ``So, what's happening and what do you need us to do?!'' Jack looked at his friends and he was proud, they were excited for an adventure but more than that they were calm and were assessing the situation before rushing in. ``Professor Quirrell has been possessed and has sneaked into the chamber to take whatever the school is guarding. We can't rely on the teachers in case they don't believe us and take too much time. Be on guard at all times, if you see, hear or feel magical fluctuations don't stand in one place. Got it, let's move!'' having had Battle Training for almost the whole year, the group were like a small unit of soldiers and didn't question Jack and just took out their wands and put protection charms on themselves.

The trials were just like in the book,the Devil's Snare which Theo and Neville recognised instantly and told the group to use the `Lumos Solem' spell and they passed it with ease. The Third trial was once again a easy to pass obstacle for the group with the help of two of the best Quidditch players in their group, Harry and Ron. ``Ron, do you see it?'' Harry wasn't looking at Ron and just asked while getting on the broom, Ron did the same while answering, ``yeah, so you go left, I go right. Ready, Go!'' they both shot across the room and instantly found the one key with an injured wing and cornered it, Harry hurriedly grabbed it but to his shock as soon as he grabbed it, the keys started to come bac towards him at high speeds. Harry threw the key down towards the group while dodging the keys and Theo grabbed the key before telling them to dodge, ``Expulso!''. The keys were pushed back and Harry and Ron got off the brooms and made it to the next trial with the group. The Fourth Trial, the Magical Chess match, looking at the chess set, Ron thought they needed to play the game to pass through but Hermione stopped him, ``Stop, you might get hurt that way!'' she said it in such a hurry that when she realised what she had said, the group had smiles on their faces.

Before they could make fun of the two Tomatoes in front of them, Jack signalled for Hermione to present her idea. `` We just need to get rid of the King, we might not actually need to play the match.'' Hearing her idea, everyone thought it was a good thought and decided to act on it, Seamus was the one to lead them on this, after all blowing things up was his area of expertise, ``On Three! One! Two! Three! Crepitus Rex!'' following him, everyone in the group used Seamus' self- developed spell and the enchantments around the chess set were in smithereens along with the King piece and the rest of the pieces as well. The door behind the Chess set opened and the group stepped in to find a knocked out Troll, they could smell it before they could see it and it almost made them puke, ``Oh My God! Bonum Spiritum!'' Daphne couldn't take the bad smell and used a charm to make it smell less, instantly everyone didn't need to cover their eyes, ears and nose and found the room to be normal and went on ahead to the next trial, the Potions Trial, which in Jack's head was the hardest trial. As soon as they entered the room, the exit was covered in black flames while the entrance to the next trial was covered in purple flames. In front of them they found a table with seven bottles and found a scroll sitting beside them. ``What's this a riddle?! Oh my god! Why does Snape hate life man! I could solve this but it would take me at least an hour, in that time Quirrell could be gone with the what he needs!'' Hermione came forward and grabbed the scroll from Dean's hands, ``Give it here!''
