In the early morning, Fred, George, Lylie, Addison, Aria and Lee were eating breakfast. George helped himself to a third helping of herb sausages. He then launched toward the scrambled eggs.
Lylie merely sipped her orange juice quietly. Aria chimed, "Mail's here!" All the heads in the Great Hall looked up to see the owls flying in with the post.
Lylie clapped her hand over her mouth. Addison gasped in shock, "Oh my gosh."
Lylie's frail, tiny, green bird was flapping in with a large letter in it's beak.
"My bird!" Lylie jumped up and flagged down her bird. The small bird swooped in toward Lylie and landed unsteadily in front of her.
Fred and George were laughing so much, they were on the verge of tears. Addison slapped George, "Stop it. There must be an explanation."
Lylie took the letter from the bird and pet it gently as she ripped it open. The letter read,
'Dear Lylie,
Your bird is here for a terrible reason. Your owl is sick. He's running a fever, don't wonder how I know that. I had him see someone. I needed to send your bird so I can get this message to you. For the Christmas break, your cousins are coming to see us. Dad and I are setting up the air mattresses in your room. So, don't be alarmed when you come home. Love you lots.
Signed,
Mum'
Lylie sighed, "Oh, mum. So clever."

Fred, George and Lylie were outside making a snowman that afternoon. Lylie wrapped a red scarf around the large snowman's neck. Fred and George motioned toward something that only they could see.
"What?" Lylie questioned. The twins launched forward and grabbed something in thin air.
"What are you doing?" Lylie exclaimed as they began to wrestle with something invisible, and began to walk with it.
"Guys, let me go!" A voice screeched.
"Harry!" Lylie's eyes widened.
"Clever, Harry." George teased.
"But, not clever enough." Fred finished the statement.
"Besides, we've got a better way." George added as they strangled Harry toward a sheltered area. Lylie trailed behind, wondering what the twins were up to.
"Guys, c'mon! I'm trying to get to Hogsmeade." Harry grappled with the twins.
The twins said in unison, with a slightly annoyed tone, "We know."
"Don't worry!" George reassured.
"We'll get you there." Fred added.
"We'll show you a quicker way." George explained, getting excited.
"If you pipe down." Fred mused. Harry struggled from their grasp, making grunting sounds.
Fred smiled, reacting to Harry's inhumaine sounds, "Oh, bless you."
"Let me g - c'mon guys." Harry whined, still grappling.
Lylie followed the boys into a stone area, with stairs leading up and inside Hogwarts. The twins dumped Harry in front of them, on the first step. Lylie joined them, standing next to George.
"Now, Harry," George began, and Fred joined him for the ending of the sentence, "come and join the big boys."
The twins ripped Harry's invisibility cloak off him.
"What are you doing?" Harry whisper-yelled.
The twins shushed him.
Harry looked to Lylie, wondering if she knew what they were up to. She shrugged.
Fred pulled a piece of parchment out if his back pocket. He thrust it at Harry.
"What's this rubbish?" Harry examined the folded parchment aggressively.
"What's this rubbish, he says." Fred laughed, feeling superior to Harry, "That there, is the secret to our success."
"It's a wrench, giving it to you, believe me." George sighed. Fred continued, "But, we've decided, your needs are greater than ours."
A small smile crept onto Lylie's face.
Fred looked to George, "George, if you will." George whipped out his wand and pointed it at the piece of parchment. He recited, "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."
Instantly, black ink began to appear, crawling across the parchment. Lylie leaned in to get a better look, she grinned.
Once the ink was done spreading, Harry read aloud, "Messrs Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs are proud to present, The Marauders Map."
"We owe them so much." George remarked. Fred nodded, eyebrows arched.
Harry opened up the parchment, he paused, "Hang on, this is Hogwarts! And that - no. Is that really -"
Fred interrupted, "Dumbledore." George added, "In his study." Fred concluded, "Pacing."
Harry and Lylie watched as footsteps paced back in forth on the map, with a label on top reading, Albus Dumbledore.
Harry recapped, "So, you mean, this map shows -" Fred cut him off, "Everyone." Harry exclaimed, "Everyone?"
George responded, "Everyone." Fred added, "Where they are." George added, "What they're doing." Fred added, "Every minute." George finished the sentence, "Of every day."
"Brilliant! Where'd you get it?" Harry questioned.
Fred replied, "Nicked it from Filch's office, of course. First year."
George stated, "Now listen, there are seven secret passageways out of the castle. We'd recommend," Fred chimed in with George, "This one." They jabbed the map with their index fingers.
"The One Eyed Witch Passageway. It will lead you straight to Honeydukes' cellar." George explained.
Fred pressured, "You best hurry, Filch is heading this way."
George added, "Oh and Harry, don't forget, when you're done, just give it a tap and say," Fred chimed in with George again, "Mischeif Managed. Otherwise anyone can read it."
