Ever since Charlotte saw her father her mind was elsewhere. She used the Marauders Map once a week to sneak food to Sirius.

One day she noticed something strange on the map. The name Peter Pettigrew was there staring her right in the face. Even though her father had told her he was alive she still didn't quite believe it. Charlotte was currently debating whether to carry on and visit Sirius or to run in the opposite direction and go to Remus what she saw on the map.

She decided against it and continued to walk to the one eyed witch passageway. She soon reached Honeydukes cellar and she climbed up the stairs and slipped out the shop undetected. She then casually walked down the street until she got out of sight then she ran to the clearing where she always met Sirius.

"Dad! Dad! It's Charlotte."

"Ah Charlotte." She heard and Sirius walked out of the bush.

"I bought you food." She said as she pulled out her bag with an undetectable extension charm.

"Thank you so much Charlotte your an angel." Sirius said to his daughter. The duo caught up and Charlotte was telling Sirius everything that was happening at school. Until Charlotte came up with an idea.

"Dad. As it's getting colder why don't you come and stay in the castle. I mean if you stay as Padfoot while walking around and then you can stay in the room of requirement." Charlotte Suggested feeling bad for her father.

"I'll tell you what Charlotte that's a very good idea." Sirius answered. "But Charlotte, how will you get me into the castle?" He asked his daughter.

"We can use this." Charlotte said pulling the Marauders Map out of her bag. Sirius' eyes lit up.

"You found the map? Oh Merlin I'm so glad you found it." Sirius was so happy and kept on asking his daughter questions. Around half an hour later Sirius turned into Padfoot and the two walked back towards the castle.

Using the map Charlotte had successfully got up to the room of requirement with Sirius behind her. She thought of what she wanted to happen and then soon enough the door to the room of requirement opened. And the father and daughter slipped in undetected.

The room had a single bed and a few books in there. It was very simple but Sirius loved as it was definitely better than Azkaban. After a while Charlotte said goodbye to her father and then left him and went back to the Gryffindor common room.

The next couple of weeks were very uneventful. Charlotte gave her father food everyday. But this led to her friends getting suspicious but they left her to it as this year was a very stressful year for her. Two days before the next Hogsmeade trip Charlotte, Fred, George and Isla had a discussion about what to do about the Maruders map.

"I think we should give to Harry. He could use it to sneak into Hogsmeade. It's not like we need it anymore we know this castle like the back of our hands." Charlotte argued.

"But why can't we just keep it. We could always tell Harry about the secret passages?" George replied.

"But that's not the same is it? He could use it to his advantage. I mean he could keep an eye out for Sirius." Fred said. He then realised what he said and quickly apologised to Charlotte. After 20 more minutes the quartet came to an agreement.

The next weekend snow was falling all over Hogwarts. The students were all excited as they had her chance to go to Hogsmeade and play in the snow.

It was around 11am on the Saturday and Fred, George and Charlotte had remained at the school while the others were off at Hogsmeade. The three were building a snowman in the courtyard waiting for Harry to come past so they could give him the Marauder'a Map.

Just as the trio were putting he head on the snowman they saw footprints emerging in the snow. The twins caught up and grabbed Harry who was hiding under his invisibility cloak. Then dragged him over to a more secluded part of the castle with Charlotte following them.

"Guys, let me go." Harry said

"Clever Harry." Said George

"But not clever enough." Fred finished

"Besides, we've got a better way." Charlotte told the boy

"C'mon I'm trying to get to Hogsmeade." Said Harry trying to get them to leave him alone!

"We know." The three older children said.

"Don't worry we'll get you there." Charlotte said

"But we'll show you a quicker way." Fred told the young boy

"If you pipe down." George warned

"Aww Bless him." George said looking over to his twin

"Ow, c'mon guys." Harry said getting aggravated by the three.

"Now, Harry come and join the big kids." Fred said.

"What are you doing?" Harry said frustrated and finally having the invisibility cloak taken off him.

"Shhh" Charlotte said. Fred passed Harry the Map while it was in it's blank state.

"What's this rubbish?" Harry asked

"What's this rubbish he says." Fred piped up elbowing his other half. "That there is the secret to our success."

"It's a wrench giving it to you believe me!" George followed.

"But we have decided your needs our greater than ours." Charlotte continued.

"George if you will." Fred gesturing for his brother to say the spell. George whips out his wand.

"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." George said while tapping the map. The parchment then started to change and Harry was in awe.

"Messers Moony,Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs present the Marauders Map." Harry said getting confused by the names.

"We owe them so much." George said

"Hang on this is Hogwarts." Harry said getting more confused by the second.

After the three fifth years had finished explaining to Harry the Map and the passageways the sent him on there way then they retreated back to the common room as they had completed their mission for the day.
