New boy (male reader x Hermione)

Part 9-"The marauders map?"

"I'm sorry to hear about your broomstick. Is there no chance of fixing it?" My Dad asks Harry as we walk through the forest "No" Harry replies sadly "Dad, why do the dementors effect us so much? More than everyone else?" I ask "Dementors are the foulest creatures to walk this earth. They feed on every good feeling, every happy memory....until a person is left with nothing but his worst experiences. You both are not weak. The dementors affect you two the most because there are true horrors in your past, horrors your classmates can scarcely imagine, you have nothing to be ashamed of" He finishes "I have horrors?" I ask nervously "I can't go into detail yet son you're too young, it's to soon but you can know that you and Harry are much closer than you think" He tells me "I'm scared Professor" Harry admits "I'd consider you a fool if you weren't" My dad confirms "You could teach us" I say hopefully "You made that one on the train go away" Harry encourages "I don't pretend to be an expert, but as the dementors have seemed to develop an interest in you two perhaps I should teach you, but after the holidays. For now I need to rest" He tells us and we head back to the castle we tell him about how our studies are going and make small talk until we part ways and we let my dad rest up.

"Last call for Hogsmeade, come on now!" We watch our classmates leave for the village from the clock tower "Ready?" Harry asks me pulling out his invisibility cloak "Now or never" After stumbling over each other trying to fit two 13 year old boys under one cloak was a bit of a task but we fell into step soon enough and made it to the courtyard but as we walked by the Wealsey twins they turned and grabbed us dragging us back "Guys, let us go" I whisper "Clever boys" Fred says "But not clever enough" George continues as they drag us "we've got a better way" They say "We're trying to get to Hogsmeade" Harry reasons "We know, we'll show you a quicker way" they takes us to a side staircase "Time to join the big boys" They pull the cloak off us and hand me a piece of older paper "What's this rubbish?" Harry asks "What's this rubbish? he says, that there is the secret to our success"-"it's a wrench giving it to you believe me"-"but we've decided your needs are greater than ours, George if you will" George pulls out his wand "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good" He taps the page and writing starts to appear.

"Messes Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs are proud to present the Marauders map" I cluelessly read out "We owe them so much" George says and I open it up "Hang on, this is Hogwarts, and that...is that really-" Harry starts "Dumbledore"-"In his study"-"Pacing"-Does that a lot" The twins confirm "So this map shows?" "Everyone" "Everyone?" "everyone. Where they are"-"What they're doing"-"every minute"-"of everyday" They rant off "Brilliant! Where'd you get it?" I ask "From Filch's office of course"-"first year"-"There are seven secret passageways out of the castle, we'd recommend this one"-"The one eyed witch passageway"-"Leads you to straight to Honeydukes cellar"-"best hurry Filch is headed this way"-"And don't forget when you're done just give it a tap and say mischief managed"-otherwise anyone can read it" They finish and we quickly thank them and head to the one eyed witch statue before Filch sees us and head through the passageway.

"Let's go mate" I say and we get under the cloak and head up the stairs into Honeydukes and carefully make our way through the excited students and out onto the main street, as were walking we notice Malfoy and his two goons make their way out if the village so with a quick understanding nod we follow them. After a small walk we end up at the edge of the woods and I notice Hermione and Ron are in the clearing staring at what I'd assume to be the shrieking shack "Well, well look whos here. You two shopping for your new dream home? Bit grand for you isn't it Weasel-bee? Don't your family sleep in one room?" Draco struts down to the two "Shut your mouth Malfoy" Ron grumbles "Ohh not very friendly, boys I think it's time we show Weasel-bee how to respect his superiors" Malfoy states "Hope you don't mean yourself" Hermione laughs and stands in front of Ron "How dare you talk to me! You filthy little mudblood!" He goes to take a step towards her and I run out from the cloak and punch him across the jaw knocking him down "Andrew?" Hermione questions as his goons help him up "Wanna say that again Malfoy?" I get prepared to fight but a snowball flies through the air hitting Malfoy making him turn to the tress "Who's there?" He shouts but gets more snowballs thrown in response, as they start to panic and get their clothes pulled around making them stumble over each other and successfully freaking them out resulting in them running away in fear.

I turn and see the strings of Ron's hat getting pulled as well as Hermione's hair "Harry!" She laughs as he takes the cloak off "Bloody hell Harry that was not funny" Ron gasps before laughing with us "Do I wanna know how you two got out of the castle?" Hermione asks as we head back to town and Harry explains the map and how it works. As we were walking Hermione puts my hood up over my head "We don't want you being seen" She fixes my hair making me laugh "Thanks love" I smile and she blushes at the name "They're chancers, never told me about any map" Ron huffs as we walk into town and walk over to the Three broomsticks where a....not so pleasant looking woman is nailing something at the entrance "Oh look who it is Madame Rosmerta, Ron fancies her" Hermione jokes "That's not true" Ron tries to defend himself but before we could joke about we see Hagrid open a carriage door and a small plump man steps out "Rosmerta my dear, I hope business is good" the ministry of magic says as Hagrid tries to fix the now broken carriage door in his hand ""It would be a lot better if the ministry wasn't sending dementors into my pub every other night" Madame Rosmerta waves the hammer at Fudge "We have a killer on the loose" He says as Professor McGonagall stands beside him "Sirius Black in Hogsmeade? And what would bring him here?" She questions as she finishes nailing "Andrew Lupin and Harry Potter" He whispers to her and Harry and I immediately get under the cloak and quickly follow them as they shush the bar maid though the door ignoring Hermione and Ron calling us back.

We follow them into a private room and Rosmerta shuts and locks the door behind us "Now tell me what this is all about?" She asks "Now years ago when Harry Potters parents realised they were marked for death, do you remember they went into hiding. Few knew where they were, one who did was Sirius Black and he told you-know-who" McGonagall explains "Not only did Black lead him to the Potters that night but he also killed one of their friends Peter Pettigrew" Fudge continues and they stammer on how Peter followed James and Sirius around when they were younger "Black was vicious he didn't kill Pettigrew, he destroyed him. A finger, that's what all that was left nothing else" Fudge pours himself some whiskey "Sirius Black may not have put his hands on the Potters but he's the reason they're dead" McGonagall says "And now he wants to finish what he started but that's not the worst of it" Fudge sighs "What could be worse?" Rosemerta asks "This, Andrew Lupin and Harry Potter are biological brothers and Andrew was beside Harry when he got hit with the unforgivable curse making them both chosen ones. And to top it all off Sirius Black was and remains to be....the boys godfather" McGonagall finishes making us freeze completely, we rush out trying to stay covered as we go but as we hit the forest line I hear Hermione and Ron call for us and I stop as Harry runs on and sits on a rock but keeps the cloak on.

I feel tears pool in my eyes and feel a hand on my shoulder and see Ron take Harrys claock off and Hermione watching me with worried eyes "I've been lied to, my dad's not my actual dad" I mumble "What do you mean?" She cautiously asks "We're brothers" Is all I say making them gasp but I shake myself out if it and walk over to a crying Harry "He was they're friend and he betrayed them. He was their friend!" He shouts in frustration "I hope he finds me, because when he does I'm gonna be ready. When he does I'm gonna kill him!" He sobs and I wrap an arm around his shoulder "And I'll be by your side the whole way......brother" I comfort him and after a few minuets of silence and getting ourselves together we head back to Honeydukes for us to take the passageway back explain to Hermione and Ron exactly what was said and we agreed that I shouldn't tell my dad I know anything yet and try to figure everything else out first.
