Before the duel can take place, Hermione catches wind of their plans and tries to stop them, reminding Harry and Ron that dueling is against Hogwarts rules. However, the boys are determined to settle their differences and proceed with the duel, with Neville Longbottom serving as their reluctant Second. As the boys begin to duel, they are interrupted by the arrival of Hogwarts caretaker Argus Filch and his cat Mrs. Norris. The boys manage to escape, but Harry and Ron end up getting lost in the Hogwarts corridors, eventually stumbling upon a massive three-headed dog guarding a trapdoor. As they make their way back to their dormitory, Harry realizes that the dog must be guarding something important, likely the Philosopher's Stone. He shares his suspicions with Ron and Hermione, and the three begin to formulate a plan to uncover the truth.
