You're Not Alone-Hermione Granger(Currently Editing)

Forty-Five

Juniper had split off from the Golden Trio to look for Lucas and Summer. She found them in the Three Broomsticks. The two were sat across from each other, leaning forward slightly as if they were having some super secret meeting. Juniper pulls up a chair beside them, sitting down and they finally take notice of her, both jumping. "June, don't do that!" Summer exclaims.

She sits there, looking between the two. They finally seem to realize something and share a look before turning back to her. "Wait, a second. How did you- how are you here?" Lucas says confused. "The real question is, aren't you happy to see me?" Juniper grins and the two nod. "Did you sneak out of the castle?" "Something like that" Juniper looks around before pulling out the map, showing it to them.

"It's just blank parchment" Lucas points out. She pulls out her wand, looking around before tapping it. "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good" The map starts to appear as the two stare at it with wide eyes. "What in the-" She opens up the map, showing it off. "Is that...Filch?" Lucas points at some footsteps currently moving through the first corridor. "That's him all right" Juniper nods.

"Where'd you get this?" Summer wonders. "Fred and George gave it to me as a birthday present" Juniper shrugs. "Mischief Managed" She taps it and the map disappears. She rolls it up, tucking it away again. "You've had it that long and you're telling us this now?" Lucas asks in disbelief. "I wanted to surprise you. Get this though. The map, which they call 'The Marauder's map' was actually created be Remmy and his friends" Juniper explains.

"How do you know that?" "Remus, obviously. We were talking about it earlier. Hermione wanted me to turn it in because Sirius Black might use one of the passageways to get into the school. Harry doesn't know that Sirius was one of the one's who made it though so he believes it's safe, but...I'm pretty sure that's how he got in on our birthday. Because, he knows all of the entrances" Juniper explains.

"Shouldn't you turn it in then?" "I can't. Fred and George took it from Filch. If I turn it in, Filch will know and they'll be in serious trouble when they were just trying to be nice and give me a present" Juniper says. "Isn't them being in trouble safer than a mass murder getting into the castle?" Summer points out. "I don't know that for sure. Have you gone shopping yet?" "Not yet. We were getting some Butterbeer first. You want some?" Lucas motions for another Butterbeer.

"Is it as good as they say?" Juniper wonders as a waiter sets one down in front of her. "Better" Summer nods. Juniper takes a drink before nodding and humming. "This gives Pumpkin Pasties a run for their money" Juniper sighs. "It must be really good then" Summer scoffs. "Nah. It doesn't beat it actually. But it is my new favorite drink" Juniper nods thoughtfully.

"You were with Granger earlier?" Lucas brings up. "Yes. I figured I couldn't leave Harry alone so him and I went together and we found Ron and Hermione in Honeydukes." "You told Potter about the map before us?" "Lesbehonest guys" The two roll their eyes. "We hardly see each other nowadays and they're in Gryffindor. I mean, I had no way of even getting into your common room until I got Olivia to tell me." The two share a guilty look with each other.

"Isn't it good though? Making friends in my own house. Even if he his Draco's nemesis. The one who hasn't even thought about my request and is being an arsehole. I mean, I was miserable when I got sorted to that house but look at me now. I'm happier than ever and that also has to do with the fact I don't have to deal with my parents" Juniper explains.

"Okay, you're right. Of course you can make other friends beside us. And we're glad that you're happy, June. Just, promise no one will replace us. Promise?" Summer asks. "Of course. No one" She agrees and the two nod. Juniper finishes her Butterbeer before sighing in satisfaction. "Shall we?" The two nod, paying for the Butterbeers and walking around the village. "I was hoping you all could give me a tour. I kind of missed the last tour with the Golden Trio" "Say no more" Lucas nods before clearing his throat and plastering on a smile.
