The quartet went all the way to the second floor without any trouble. Although they saw Miss Norris walking around, they walked past her. However, just like in the book, at the third floor stairway, they saw Peeves.

"Who's there?" Peeves asked as he searched through the corridors. "I know you're there. Is it students or some ghoulies?"

"Harry," Argus whispered. "We don't have time for this buffoon. Do you think you can do an impression of the Baron?"

"Yeah, I'll try," Harry said.

"Peeves, the Bloody Baron has his reasons for being invisible. Do you think you have the rights to question me?" Harry now asked in a hoarse voice.

Peeves looked obviously scared, but before he could speak, Harry spoke once more.

"Stay away from here Peeves, I have things to do here," Harry said once more.

"Of course your bloodiness sir. I'll go right now," Peeves said as he went elsewhere.

"Nice job Harry," Argus said.

"Yeah good voice acting. We should do this again and scare the bejesus out of him," Ron said.

"He's probably not going to fall for it the second time," Hermione said. "Well what are we waiting for. We have a stone to recover,"

With Peeves gone, the four of them quickly arrived in front of the door that was ajar.

'Good we weren't too early. If Quirrell found us while we're doing the riddles, we'd be screwed,' Argus thought.

"Guys," Argus whispered. "It is your last chance to leave. If we get in trouble for this, we might all be expelled. I'm willing to take that punishment, but I know how much this school means to you guys,"

"Don't be silly Argus," Hermione whispered. "If even one person is doing this then we're all doing it,"

"Yeah," Ron said. "We're Gryffindor. We're the brave ones here,"

"Yeah and I'm going to make sure that the slimy Voldemort won't be able to hurt anyone else anymore," Harry said with determination.

"Alright then," Argus said. "We're going in,"

The four proceeded to go inside and was greeted with Fluffy, the Cerberus. It was wide awake and was growling at them as they opened the door. However, as it couldn't see them, it didn't attack.

The four saw a harp by Fluflly and looked at each other.

"It must be You-Know-Who," Ron whispered.

"Yeah," Hermione said. "I guess he beat us to it,"

Harry immediately took out a flute and started to play it. It was terrible, but it was enough to put Fluffy to sleep. The four slowly walked towards Fluffy's paw that was blocking the trapdoor.

While Harry was playing the flute, the other three were slowly moving Fluffy's paw. Argus thought that the operation would be smooth as Harry was now able to constantly play the flute.

However, Fluffy suddenly breathed out a huge amount of air making Harry drop his flute before the other three could finish opening the trapdoor.

'SHIT!' Argus thought.
