CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: HIGGYFIGGLE GETS CAUGHT

They pushed the chair out of the way and jumped out, one by one. They covered the secret staircase and ran out of the big room. They pushed open the door and ran into a different room. It was full of cats, but they didn’t look too well. They all looked like Hardis and Harry, with red eyes, but they were wearing black armour, like the cats outside the castle. “Hey, Harry must be here!” said Hermione eagerly. She looked around, but there seemed as though there were MILLIONS of them. Then they heard a familiar, evil voice. “Move out of the way, you cats!” shouted the voice. The group of hypnotised cats parted, and there in the middle, was Harper, and Heila was by his side, held down by the cats. Suddenly, Harper saw them. He got excited. “CAPTURE THEM!” he shouted. All the cats looked at them. They all smiled evilly. “RUN!!!” shouted Hank. Everyone ran as fast as they could. They were all far ahead of the cats, except Mrs HiggyFiggle, because she was very old. They all jumped onto a tall statue. “NOOOO!!!” shouted Heila. The cats jumped on Mrs Higgyfiggle. She screamed as they dragged her and locked her in a metal cage.
