I grabbed Teddy's hand. "It'll be okay, we don't need to go down there," I smiled at him sneakily.  "You know the Mauraders Map that my uncles always talk about? "
"Yes of course it belongs to my godfather"
"Well I know for a fact James smuggled it here. Let's take it so we can see where Emma and Damian are.
Teddy agreed so we ran into the Gryffindor first year boy dorm and summoned the map.
"I solemnly swear I am up to no good, " We both said in unison.
It turns out Emma and Damian were in the Shrieking Shack.
"I guess we have to go down there" Teddy sighed looking tearful.
                    TEDDY'S POV
I felt like I was about to cry. The Shrieking Shack was where my father transformed and after the war, the place was turned into a memorial for him and his best friends James Potter (the first one) and Sirius Black.
I squeezed Victoire's hand tightly. She squeezed my hand right back. We tapped the knot of the willow tree and it let us in.
We walked in hand in hand and we both gasped.
The place was trashed, with slashes down the pictures and a picture of the first Lily Potter with slashes down it. There were even pictures of the first Alice and Frank Longbottom. Pictures of Harry and Ginny, Ron and Hermione, Bill and Fleur, and everyone else had slashes down them. On Fleur's it even had the b word written all over it. The Weasley grandparents had rude words written all over it. All the pictures were in a large circle  with a big sacrificial oven thing in the middle. On it was Emma and Damian.
I had tears running down my face and so did Vic.  She was sobbing and clutching her chest. Suddenly she collapsed and I caught her before she hit the ground.  A shadow suddenly appeared over us and the lady thing I remember was Vic being beaten and tied up before I lost consciousness.
