"Be quiet, he might try to open it."
And Draco held his breath, hoping it was quiet enough. Filch seemed to talk to his cat for ages before the handle of the door unexpectedly was pushed down. Draco drew his wand automatically and prepared to cast that locking spell a hundred times if he had to.
"Locked is it, Mrs Norris?" Filch's words were audible now, when he stood so much closer.
They heard the rattle of keys on a chain and a frightening clinking noise as Filch pushed something in the lock. Turning it. Draco could barely hear the faint click when the door unlocked, but waved his wand hastily, satisfied when he heard another faint click as it locked again.
The handle was pushed down again and he felt satisfied when Filch swore on the other side of the massive wooden door. He heard the rattle of keys again, the familiar sound of Filch unlocking the door, and the welcome click when the door locked again.
