"Last call for Hogsmeade!"

Delilah, Fred, George, and Stuart were making a snowman together with a carrot they had taken from the kitchen but they all stop when they spot the footsteps appearing in the ground.

"Come on, now!"

Fred and George lunge forward grabbing Harry as Stuart and Delilah follow.

"Guys, let me go" Harry grunts.

"Clever, Harry-"

"But not clever enough"

"We've got a better way," The twins say in sync.

"I'm trying to get to Hogsmeade," Harry says.

"We know-" Fred says.

"We'll get you there-" George carries on.

"We'll show you a quicker way-"

"If you pipe down-"

"Bless him-"

"Let me go! Come on, guys. Don't-"

"Now, Harry"

"Come and join the big boys"

"What are you doing?!" Harry snaps, ripping the cloak off before looking at the piece of parchment that was being presented to him. "What's this rubbish?"

"'What's this rubbish?' he says" Fred shakes his head. "It's the secret to our success"

"It's a wrench giving it to you-" George sighs. "But we've decided your needs are greater than ours"

"George, if you will"

"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good"

They all watch the map, Harry in awe as words begin to appear on the parchment.

"Messrs. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs are proud to present the Marauder's Map." Harry reads.

"We owe them so much"

"Hang on. This is Hogwarts. And that- No. Is that really-?"

"Dumbledore-"

"In his study-"

"Pacing-"

"Does that a lot"

"So this map shows-"

"Everyone-"

"Where they are-

"What they're doing-"

"Every minute-"

"Of every day"

"Brilliant! Where did you get it?" Harry says.

"Knicked it from Filch's office, of course-"

"First-year-"

"Used Stewie and Lilah here as distractions of course"

"There are seven secret passageways out of the castle-"

"We'd recommend this one-"

"The One-Eyed Witch passageway-"

"Leads you to Honeyduke's-"

"Hurry. Filch is heading this way-"

"And don't forget. When you're done, just give it a tap and say: 'Mischief managed'-"

"Otherwise, anyone can read it"

Delilah splits from the boys and rushes to the kitchen, collecting a bag of food before sneaking across the grounds and she slides under the branches of the Whomping Willow and into the small tunnel that leads to the Shrieking Shack. She waves her left hand over her right, causing a ball of light to form in her right hand as she uses it as one would a torch.
