Just Kiss Me (Fred Weasley Fanfiction)

Chapter Eleven

(Emily's POV)

The next Hogsmeade weekend came quickly and I was feeling much happier, my friends cheered me up every time they saw I was getting sad which really helped. Fred, George, and I had decided to give the Marauders Map to Harry so that he could get into Hogsmeade. I was going to be sad to see it go, that map has really helped us in the past.

"Psst! Harry!" George whisper yelled from our hiding place when he saw Harry.

"What are you doing?" Harry asked. "Why aren't you going to Hogsmeade?"

"We've come to give you an early Christmas present." I told him, pulling him into an empty classroom.

Fred pulled the map from his pocket and laid it on the desk in front of Harry. Harry inspected it closely before staring at us confused.

"What's this rubbish?" He asked.

"That, Harry, is the secret to our success." George told him.

"Hate to see it go, but we decided your needs are greater than ours." Fred said.

"We know it by heart anyway." I added.

"What do I need with a bit of old parchment?" Harry asked.

"This is much more than a bit of old parchment!" I told him.

"We took it from Filch's office." George said.

"In our first year." Fred added.

"Don't reckon Filch ever found out how to work it."

"Must have suspected what it was though."

"Otherwise he wouldn't have confiscated it."

"And you know how to work it?" Harry asked.

"Oh, yes." I said smirking. "This beauty has taught us more than all the teachers in this school."

"You're pulling my arm." Harry said, looking again at the bit of old parchment.

"Oh, are we?" George asked, taking his wand out at tapping it on the map. "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."

We watched Harry's face as the map revealed itself to him, smiling between ourselves at his amazement. He was looking at the secret passages now, smiling as he realised where most of them lead.

"Right into Hogsmeade." I said, tracing one of the passages with my finger.

"There's seven in all." Fred stated.

"Filch only knows about these four." George added, pointing out the four passages on the map.

"But we're sure we're the only ones that know about these." Fred said, pointing them out on the map. "Don't bother using the one behind the mirror on the fourth floor. We used it last winter, but it's caved in now."

"And we don't think anyone's ever used this one, because the Whomping Willow's planted right over the entrance." I said, pointing to the big tree.

"But this one here leads straight to the cellar of Honeydukes, we've used it loads of times." George said.

"And as you might've noticed, the entrance is right outside this room, through that one-eyed witch's hump." Fred explained.

"Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs?" Harry asked.

"No idea, but we owe them everything." I told him.

"Noble men, working tirelessly to help a new generation of law-breakers." Fred said solemnly.
