CHAPTER SEVEN: The Marauders Map

ALEXIA P.O.V.

We ran back to the common room in a hurry, not wanting anyone to see us. As we got to the Fat Lady's portrait, we were panting, I had the potion in her hand and hid it in my pocket.

"Hmm, quite late are we?" The Fat Lady said eyeing the trio

"Well, the Head Boy and Head Girl rounded the others quite fast, we were still eating." Scorpius said still panting.

"Hmm, well password?"

"Fortuna Major" James said, and the portrait swung open and the trio quickly went inside. It was fifteen minutes to curfew. There were few people in the common room, most well were in bed. 

"Where have you guys been?" A snobby prefect asked us.

"The crowd just went by fast, and we well ran a little late." James said annoyed.

"Well thats-" The snobby prefect girl stopped when another prefect came beside her and cut her off.

"It's alright Jane, it isn't past curfew yet, let it slide, it's their first time and their first years." It was my cousin technically nephew Teddy.

"Fine I'll let it slide." Then the Jane girl left, as soon as she left Teddy went up to me.

"What really happened?" he asked

"That's what really happened." I said in an innocent voice, that really was what happened! Well leaving out the part with Carrow. "I promise."

"Hmm ,fine I'll let it slide because it's your first time and you and your friends are first years. he said in a serious tone, but I can see in his eyes the brotherly love. Teddy wasn't just my cousin slash nephew or whatever, he was more like a brother to me. And I was his little sister to him.

"Okay, it'll never happen again." I promised, which I'm not sure if we could keep. Teddy smiled his brotherly smile, and I knew the sermon was over. "Doing your responsibilities as a prefect I see?" I laughed."

"Yep," and he showed off his badge "I see you have made friends?" he said looking at James and Scorpius.

"Yeah, forgot about that." I laughed "These are James Potter and Scorpius Malfoy" I gestured to the two "James, Scorpius this is my cousin Teddy." 

"Cousin?" Teddy asked, I was worried he didn't want to be introduced that, I didn't want to sa nephew "More like brother, it's nice to meet you guys." he had a point, that one caught me off gaurd. He shook James and Scorpius' hands.

"Nice to meet you too." Scorpius said politely

"Yeah." James added

"Well, you guys better get to bed, I can't cover up for you guys next time." Teddy said

"'kay Good night Teddy."

"Good night kid." Then we headed for our dorms, Scorpius and James were already in their rooms when I remembered something as I was heading to mine "Oh yeah Teddy, I wrote to Aunt Andromeda, she said to tell you "Hi" and that she found those missing pair of socks you were trying to find, it was under your bed."

"Really? I never thought of checking there. Well tell her I said hi too and thanks."

"Okay good night!" Then I headed to my dorm. Laila, Michelle and Coleen were already asleep. So I brushed my teeth changed to my PJs and headed to bed. As I was fixing my robes to put them in the hampre I remembered the potion, I took it from the pocket, of my robes, hid it in my trunk, and lay on my bed. I was still thinking about the potion and Carrow. As I was busy thinking there was a tap on my window.
