Mischievous Glint | George Weasley

Chapter 8

I was with my favourite twins building a snowman. I wore a shirt with tight pants and a sweater over it.

"Freddie!!!" I squealed as he hit with a snowball.

I hit him back as George started to hit me with snowballs as well.

"Guys looks." I said and pointed at the snow filled ground. There were invisible footsteps coming towards us. Fred, George and I grinned as we knew it was Harry. He grabbed both fred and George and pushed to take them to a corner. I followed them behind.

"Clever, Harry."

"But not clever enough."

"Besides, we've got a better way."

"I'm trying to get to Hogsmeade." Harry said removing his invisibility cloak.

"We know." We three said in unison.

"Don't worry."

"We'll get you there."

"We'll show you a quicker way."

"If you pipe down."

"Oh. Bless him."

Fred and George then handed him a map sized blank paper.

"What's this rubbish?" Harry asked annoyed.

"What's this rubbish? he says." Fred mocked.

"That there it's the secret to our success." I said smirking.

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

"George, If you will." Fred gestured to George.

"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." He said pointing his wand to the hand and writing appeared on it.

"Mr's. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs are proud to present the Marauder's Map." Harry read it.

"We owe them so much." George added asi nodded.

"Hang on. This is Hogwarts." Harry realized.
"And that... no. Is that really?"

"Dumbledore." Fred started

"In his study."

"Pacing."

"Does that a lot." I finished their words.

"So, you mean this map shows." Harry trailed off.

"Everyone."

"Everyone?"

"Everyone."

"Where they are."

"What they're doing."

"Every minute."

"Of every day."

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

"Knicked it from Filch's office, of course." I said.

"Now listen, there are seven secret passageways out of the castle. We'd recommend." George said.

"This one." They both said in unison.

"The One-Eyed Witch passageway."

"It'll lead you straight to Honeyduke's seller."

"You best hurry. Filch is heading this way."

"Oh, and Harry don't forget. When you're done, just give it a tap and say." I said and pointed my wand to the map.

"Mischief managed. Otherwise, anyone can read it." I said.

Harry was inside his invisibility cloak beside me as I walked into hogsmead. We went to find Ron and Hermione and saw them standing with company. And Unfortunately their company was non other than Draco Malfoy and his goons. I gave a knowing look which he understood and let me inside his cloak. We both harassed Draco and his two goons by pulling one's pant down and throwing snowballs at draco and dragging him by his legs which terrified him. The three ran off leaving Hermione laughing but Ron, as always was the scardy cat. We walked behind both of them. I lifted a lock of Hermione's hair and harry messed with Ron's winter hat.

"Harry! Y/N!" Hermione laughed as we revealed ourselves.

"Bloody hell, you too. That was not funny."

"Aww, Ronny got scared." I mocked as the two laughed.

"Those weasels! Never told me about any Marauder's Map." Ron huffed as we three walked.

"But Harry isn't going to keep it. He's going to turn it over to Professor McGonagall. Aren't you?" Hermione asked as I smirked to Harry.

No way he won't.

"Sure. Along with his Invisibility Cloak." Ron added.

"Oh, Look who it is. Madam Rosmerta. Ron fancies her." Hermione said pointing at her.

Professor McGonagall and Hagrid was also there. Harry quickly ushered me to get under the cloak as he heard his name and mine was mentioned. We went off leaving Ron and Hermione behind. We took the stairs to a room where they were meeting.

"Nobody's going to come to a pub where they're gonna get scared out of their wits. Why?" Rosmerta asked.

"Professor Dumbledore does not want dementors around the place, I can assure you." McGonagall replied. "Now, tell me what this is all about.Well. Now years ago, when Harry Potter's parents realized they were marked for death you remember? They went into hiding. Few knew where they were. One who did was Sirius Black. And he told You-Know-Who!"

"Not only did Black lead You-Know-Who to the Potters that night, but he also killed one of their friends, Peter Pettigrew!" Fudge added.

"Peter Pettigrew?" Rosmerta gave a confused look.

"Yes, little lump of a boy. Always trailing after Sirius Black." McGonagall stated.

"Ah, I remember him. Never let James and Sirius out of his sight. But what happened?" Rosmerta asked.

"Well, Peter Pettigrew tried to warn the Potters and might have managed to, had he not run into an old friend, Sirius Black."

"Black was vicious. He didn't kill Pettigrew. He destroyed him! A finger. That's all that was left. A finger. Nothing else." Fudge said.

"Yes. Sirius Black may not have put his hands to the Potters, but he's the reason they're dead." McGonagall stated.

"And now he wants to finish what he started." Fudge added as McGonagall nodded in agreement.

"I don't believe it." Rosmerta denied.

"Ah, that's not the worst of it."

"What could be worse?"

"This, Sirius Black was and remains to this day Harry Potter's godfather!" McGonagall said in a raised voice.

I gasped lightly and looked at Harry. His face was stone cold.

"And what about the young Knight? Have you seen anything peculiar about her? You know about the Knight family. Born with powers. What about this one?" Fudge asked.

"I really don't know. But Miss Y/N is the most tame and unproblematic girl. I don't think even if she discovered if she had any powers, she'll cause havoc anytime soon. I heard she's prophesied like Harry Potter."

"You better be right Minerva. We don't want another evil one like You-Know-Who.''

Harry and I exited the shop and as soon as I got out of the cloak, I saw Harry walking away. Ron and Hermione was waiting for us outside.

"Y/N what happened?"

"Hear it from him. It's not for me to tell you."

We followed his footsteps and stopped at a rock. I assumed he sat down on it. I slowly reached for the cloak and gently pulled it off his head. He was sobbing.

"He was their friend and he betrayed them. He was their friend! I hope he finds me. Because when he does, I'm gonna be ready! When he does, I'm gonna kill him!"
Harry shouted and cried quietly.
