The next morning Edith wakes up with a groan her muscles aching an exhausted huff leaving her lips. She knows she is late for lessons, but she is too tired to care. She stumbles to her feet noticing the scratches on her arms and legs. Great, this is what happens when she has little control.
She limps back up to the castle. Coming up to the stairs, she sees two twins messing around with a piece of parchment in hand. She recognizes it. There is no way she couldn't so she limps up to the boys a smirk gracing her lips.
"Morning you two" She says as they hide the parchment behind their back.
"Morning Professor" They reply at the same time.
"Why you look terrible." George says looking at her cut face, hands and ankles.
"Why thank you George." Replies Edith rolling her eyes. "Now if I could see what you were hiding behind your back that would be wonderful."
"We have nothing Miss." Says Fred as George shows her the parchment "See just a blank piece of parchment"
"I am sure it is let me just..." She taps her wand on the center of the parchment speaking the words she used to speak almost daily many years ago "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."
Words and lettering fill the center like it did many years ago. 'Messers Moony, Blue, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs, are proud to present the marauders map'
"How do you know about it?" Asks George .
"This is the secret to our success. we owe it all to Blue, Wormtail, Padfoot, Moony and Prongs, if they even exist." Replies Fred knowing they cannot run their way out of this one.
"Why you are welcome, I am happy to help fellow Rule Breakers." Edith says with a smile as the twins eyes go wide.
"What..." Says George.
"Who...which one are you?" Asks Fred.
"I am Blue of course." She replies with a smirk and a wink.
"Who are the rest?" Asks George.
"Why, you will have to work it out for yourself." Edith sighs "Now if you would excuse me I have to go find Remus" She says walking off "Oh and also." She calls back turning around to face the twins once more "Please pass the map on to Harry, he needs to get better in touch with his mischievous side after all." And then she turns and limps away.

Edith limps into her and Remus's lounge, to find him look up from his book worried seeing her hands and legs he instantly stands up pulling out his wand to start healing them.
"Aren't you supposed to be teaching?" She asks tilting her head to the side.
"I got Snape to cover the lesson, he didn't really want to but I assured him it would be fine." Remus replies.
"Rem, guess what?" Asks Edith with a smile.
"What?" He replies a bit wearily.
"I just met the new owners of our map." She replies.
"Really who?" Asks Remus an excited glint in his eyes.
"Fred and George Weasley." Edith Replies a smile on her face.

Harry looks around waiting for the arrival for his Godmother hoping she is alright. After overhearing the conversation last night.
That's when Snape powerwalks in, using his wand to close all the drapes.
"Turn to page three hundred and ninety four" He says with a stern glance at the students.
Harry reluctantly opens his book. "Excuse me Sir, where is Professors Edith and Lupin?"
"That is not really your concern is it Potter?" Snape asks.
"Well it is Sir, Edith is my Godmother and I wish to know if she is alright." Harry says firmly.
"Unsurprising to say that your Professors find themselves incapable of teaching at the present time. Turn to page three hundred and nighty four" He says before turning back to the class.
"Werewolves and wolfshifters?" Ron asks looking at the page Snape had flicked his book to.
"But sir," Says Hermione "We have just began learning about redcaps and hinkypunks we were not supposed to learn about nocturnal beasts for weeks."
"Quiet" Snape speaks firmly.
"Now witch one of you can tell me the difference from a wolf shifter and a Werewolf?" He asks his eyes scanning over the class, clearly seeing Hermione's upraised hand he ignores it "No one how disappointing."
"Please Sir." Says Hermione "A werewolf has no choice to when to turn into an Animal, each full moon when they transform they no longer remember who they are. He would kill his best friend if they cross his path. Furthermore a werewolf only responds to the call of its own kind."
"You can only become a wolf-shifter from being bitten, A wolf-shifter is a very dangerous animal because they can mostly chose when they shift and control their own mind which is useful for dark wizards, like a werewolf a wolf-shifter has to shift on a full moon, they can do it before the moon rises and keep their mind or have a force shift causing it to lose its mind like a Werewolf. If feeling strong emotions a wolf-shifter will have a forced shift and also lose it's mind. People often dread being a wolf-shifter as any strong emotion can trigger the shift." Hermione explains knowing an awful lot on wolf-shifters and werewolves being the smart girl she is she had already read ahead.
"That is the second time you have spoken out of turn Miss Granger" Snape says harshly, unlike Edith and Remus's lessons when she would be beaming with pride when she is awarded with points for getting the answer to the questions right, she is looking down in shame. Head hung. "Or do you take pride in being an insufferable know it all."
"That is quite enough Snivels, you can return to your cold dungeon now." Says Edith limping in leaning on Remus for support.
"Watch your tone Edith, I was covering your lesson." Snape says crossing his arms.
"And now I am taking my lesson back." She replies with the same tone a smirk on her face. "Now get out of my class."
He just huffs before leaving the lesson.
"Now where were we?" Edith asks as Remus helps her limp to the front of the room. "Yes that is right Redcaps and hinkypunks" and with a flick of her wand the windows are uncovered and the projector and board and put away.
"And as it is quidditch tomorrow, you can all enjoy a week of no homework." Edith says as Remus helps her sit down on the desk "Sadly I cannot come to the game as I think that amount of stairs might actually kill me."
Remus looks at Edith highly amused. "It also might Kill her to not watch Gryffindor or watch Gryffindor play without her."
"Oh hush Remus." Edith says slapping him on the back of the head. "Now who can tell me what is special about redcaps?"
