[HPforGrownups] Fluffy's Music

I've got a question for everyone. In the SS when Harry, Hermione, and Ron  
are going to the trapped door (aka Fluffy) they know that they have to bring

some sort of instrument in order to put Fluffy to sleep. Obviously we know
that  
Quirrell got there before them and already had put a spell on the harp. If  
Quirrell hadn't gotten there before them, what instrument were they going to

put  a spell on? They did not even bring anything, how could they assume
that 
Quirell  would be there before them?
Brodeur

Sherry now:

Actually, I think you're remembering the movie.  In the book, they bring the
flute that Hagrid gave Harry for Christmas.  I think it's Hermione who plays
it till it's her time to jump through the trap door.  I don't think there
was a harp.
