To Y/N,

George and I miss you lots! Mum says hi, and so does Charlie. Bill would say hi but he's buggered off somewhere with those grubby goblins. It is pretty cool though. Pratty Percy won't shut up about some new book about charms and it's driving everyone bonkers. Godric help us all.

We still haven't figured out what's going on with that bloody piece of parchment. I swear we are trying our very best. Got any ideas? So far we've even set it on fire, sprinkled it with water and sprayed it with Gnome repellent. Those Padfoot and Moony fellas weren't happy 'bout that. Hope you aren't reading too many books!

From, Fred

Dear Y/N,

Blimey, sounds like your dad's got his hands full with that one! I have absolutely no idea what a 'computer' is but it doesn't sound like it's supposed to blow up. Talking of things that I don't know about, yknow that homework that Professor Snape assigned us? Would you mind helping me out with the third question? And maybe the fourth too. I know you've already done it and your answers will definitely be correct. Pretty please? Pretty please with a chocolate frog on top?

Your idea about speaking back in riddles to the map thing was brilliant. It didn't solve anything but it was bloody hilarious when those fellas answered back, gave us a right laugh. I miss your laugh. You must come visit at some point! I know we've only got a month left until our second year and you're busy with your dad, so maybe come over next summer? Or at Christmas! Oh wait, you'll be with your dad at Christmas. Summer it is! And you have no choice :)

From your favourite person ever, Fred

Dearest stinkiest Y/N,

I am beyond delighted to inform you that George and I have successfully FIGURED OUT HOW TO GET THAT STUPID MAP TO WORK!!!

You're not gonna believe this, but it's all thanks to Pongy Percy. Me, George and Ginny were just innocently rummaging through Percy's desk draws to hide a bunch of Fizzing Fuzzlebombs in his homework when he walked in and exclaimed in that mingy voice of his, "I solemnly swear, if you are up to no good, I will hex you all." The map then said something like,

"Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs

Are delighted to announce

That you are ever so close,

To seeing what this map's about."

'Course, with my big brain n all, we figured out that you've just got to repeat "I solemnly swear that I'm up to no good" with the wand on the parchment and BOOM. I am proud to present to you, my smelly friend, the marauders map! And it's BRILLIANT. It's this live map of Hogwarts, and it shows you where everyone is- we've been watching Filch pace around Snape's office for hours, no idea what's going on there, and you'd be surprised by how often Dumbledore goes to the toilet! I tell you what, it's bloody sad that the professors stay there all summer. Guess it's good for the ones like Snape, who've got no one to love them. But wait! There's more- oh, Y/N, it's amazing- there's about a million secret passageways hidden throughout Hogwarts. We are going to have so much fun in our second year. Luckily it's not an actual spell to unlock the map, so we've been able to look at it from home and memorise all the hidden passages. This is the hardest we've ever studied. Missing you dearly,

Fred (the handsome one)

You were sat cross-legged on the edge of your quilted bed, with Mittens purring softly away in your lap, as you re-read (for the hundredth time) your favourite letters that Fred had sent in the summer between your first and second year. After finishing the last letter, you returned to a more recent one he'd sent, one that had arrived about a month ago, exactly a year after the very first.
