"I can't believe you actually agreed to this!" Teddy exclaimed while stuffing the crumpled arithmancy homework in his bag

"I can't believe you actually agreed to this!" Teddy exclaimed while stuffing the crumpled arithmancy homework in his bag.

Teddy had previously invited Katarina to join him and James to see his godfather Harry Potter. The only problem was, they were visiting without notice to the teachers. The fact that Katarina was willing to break the rules amazed him.

"Oh please, we both know she's only coming along to see my dad," James rolled his eyes, "honestly you're so obsessed."

"Am not!" Katarina jabbed James in the stomach which led to the boy exasperating a large 'oof' sound. He glowered at her while rubbing his injured abdomen.

"I only admire him, you both are related to him so you wouldn't get it. I would kill to be related to Mr. Potter. Did you read about how he—" 

"Oh not this again, honestly Katarina it's like you never shut up about him," interrupted James while clutching his stomach, afraid Katarina would hit him again.

"He's got a point you know. You talk on and on about him, how would your parents feel if they knew how much you dearly wished Harry Potter was your relative instead?" Teddy cocked his eyebrow.

"It doesn't matter, does it? It's not like I ever met my parents anyway," Katarina blurted out.

It was a subject Katarina had mentioned before, she was an orphan. There were no recollections nor trace of them. What they looked liked or their names, she never knew.

The room fell silent whilst the two boys looked around awkwardly trying to find a way out of the tense situation.

"Listen Kat, I'm sorry I didn't mean to—"started Teddy.

"It's fine, besides that's not the biggest concern right now. I mean how are we even going to get out of Hogwarts undetected?" Katarina was waving her hands wildly trying to encapsulate the sheer nervousness she was feeling.

"I know a way!" James rummaged through his bag pulling up an old-looking piece of parchment, holding it up triumphantly expecting a round of applause.

Silence.

"Should I be impressed?" Katarina looked at James questioning his sanity.

Teddy only smirked, "Is that what I think it is?"

James nodded fervently.

"Behold," he took out his wand and pointed it at the piece of parchment, "I solemnly swear I am up to no good."

Just like that black and red ink began to spread across the parchment.

"Messers. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs Purveyors of Aids to magical mischief-makers are proud to present... The Marauder's Map?" Katarina read out loud.

"Nicked it from dad's office. I thought it was just parchment at first but, uncle George saw it and revealed it's true beauty," James was looking at the map fondly.
