Samantha sat next to the lake, enjoying the warm sun and holding her feet into the water. It was one of the hottest days this June and the summer holidays were near.

She drew the rest of the map, the Marauders impatiently sitting behind her.

"Are you done? Can we see it?", Peter asked like a little child on a car drive.

"How long do you think this takes?", Samantha asked, annoyed because the boys kept asking if she finally finisched thr mad of Hogwarts.

"Appeteantly super long!", Peter replied, not thinking of a better come-back.

"Just let her finish it in peace", Remus said and smiled at the girl he considered to be his friend. They had spent most of the full moons together this year and even though Peter, James and Sirius were very close to turning into animals as well, she had been his saviour. He had lost all hope at a normal life and a love life but if he had a metamorphmagi or an animagi as girlfriend, maybe it wouldn't be as bad because she could help him during the full moon.

"Thank you, Wolfie", Samantha replied, making Sirius burst out in laughter. "Wolfie? That is a stupid ass nickname!"

"Think of a better one then!", Samantha snapped back at him.

"Moonhowler", Sirius said proud.

"Dude, that's even worse", Remus giggled.

"How about Moony then?", Samantha asked and everyone agreed.

"Moony it is. You know what? We could write these nicknames on the map! I mean we already know what animals we will turn into and maybe we could write nicknames on the map so everyone knows it belongs to someone but nobody suspects us - if anyone ever finds it or we give to our sons or something!", James blurted out, having to take a deep breath after.

"That is genious!", Peter sqealed and everyone cheered.

"I get to be called king!", Sirius shouted, while Samantha wrote 'Moony' onto the map.

"More like the grim!", she mumbled, but nobody heard her because they all laughed at Sirius 'the king'.

"I think that padfoot would sound cool, since you know you will turn into a dog", Peter suggested, never imagining that all of the boys would like the idea.

"Nice on Peet. Or should I say ratboy?", Sirius joked.

"Thats not very imaginative", Samantha said, drawing the 'a' of padfoot. Without her noticing, Sirius rolled his eyes at her.

"Ratstail?"

"Ha! I think his tail looks like a worm!", James shouted and Remus casually joked: "How about wormtail then?"

"No! That's weird!", Peter protested but James and Sirius just ignored him: " That is decent, don't you pout, wormtail!"

"So I get to be the king then, I even had a crown as an animal", James said, but nobody agreed.

"It's not a crown! You could poke people with that thing on your head."

"I think prongs sounds like James", Samantha suggested without looking up.

"I hate to say it but that girl is totally right. That name does fit you. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs proudly present the Marauders Map", Sirius said and smiled into the round.

"That. Is. Genius!", James shouted, dancing wildly on front of the water. Samantha just laughed, these boys could be quite funny if they weren't busy bullying people.

After she had written everz name and that sentence on the map, she proudly gave it to Sirius.

"Thank you, princess. Now we can finally annoy your brother again", he said, smiling at her with happiness in his eyes.
