They passed Filch in the doorway; Filch's pale, wild eyes looked straight through him, together they slipped under Filch's outstretched arm and streaked off up the corridor, the book's shrieks still ringing in their ears. Harry came to a sudden halt in front of a tall suit of armor, he had been so busy getting away from the library, he hadn't paid attention to where he was going. Perhaps because it was dark, he didn't recognize where he was at all. There was a suit of armor near the kitchens, he knew, but he must be five floors above there. "Where are we?" he whispered. "No clue" Hermione admitted softly. Then they heard the most unwelcome voice they could hear. "You asked me to come directly to you, Professor, if anyone was wandering around at night, and somebody's been in the library Restricted Section." Harry felt the blood drain out of his face, looking at Hermione she was sporting a similar expression. Wherever they were, Filch must know a shortcut, because his soft, greasy voice was getting nearer, and to his horror, it was his Uncle Sev who replied, "The Restricted Section? Well, they can't be far, we'll catch them." Severus would kill him for being out this late alone, or at the very least for being caught. Harry stood rooted to the spot as Filch and Severus came around the corner ahead, they couldn't see them, of course, but it was a narrow corridor and if they came much nearer they'd knock right into them, the cloak didn't stop either of them from being solid. He backed away as quietly as he could, his hand clasping Hermione's and pulling her with him. A door stood ajar to his left. It was their only hope. He squeezed through it, holding his breath, trying not to move it, and to his relief he managed to get inside the room without them noticing anything, quickly he moved back so Hermione could squeeze through after him. Filch and Severus walked straight past, and Harry leaned against the wall, breathing deeply, listening to their footsteps dying away. That had been close, very close. It was a few seconds before he noticed anything about the room they had entered.
