The Truly Immune

Getting The Map

I looked around the coroner hearing someone coming down. I turned to hide behind a door real quick. When i notice its two redheads sprinting down the corridor not even trying to be quiet. After a few more seconds I hear a bang come from down the corridor. I looked around to see that the twins had set off a few Dungbombs.

    It's not even the first night. Dear lord those two are going to get themselves kicked out before classes even start. As I go to get out of the closet I notice that I have no idea where I am at. After a few minutes of wondering I heard footsteps again. I round the corner to hide. "You two are going to be getting detention with me for a week." I hear Filch's voice. It's honestly like nails on a chalkboard.

    "You don't have any proof that we even did anything?" I hear someone say.

    "Yeah all we can get in trouble for is being out of bed." I heard the other whine.

    "Yeah, well it's up to your head of house to decide what to do with you but I hope I get the honors of having you do detention with me." he said. I shivered at the thought of having detention with Filch. Ok, I need to get to his office and grab the map as quickly as possible. I decide to follow Filch and the twins back to his office.

    Filch ends up dropping the twins in his office, turning to them telling them that he is going to get Professor McGonagall and then they will both come back here. Filch turned and locked the door. I had to quickly hide as he passed me. I go up to the door pulling my wand out and casting a spell "Alohomora '' I say quietly.

    The door unlocks and as I open it I see two Redheads looking back at me. "Hey guys." I say with a cheeky smile as I wave to them.

    "What are you doing here?" one asks.

    The other one asking at the same time. "How did you unlock the door?"

    I smile before answering both. "Well I was up and about when I saw you dumbos setting off dungbombs in the hall. Then I followed you guys here so I could find Filch's Office. Now I've got to hurry before he gets back here. I also just unlocked the door with a spell Lupin taught me when I was being homeschooled by him." I say as I look over to the draws of taken items.

    Both twins seemed very interested in what I was doing as one poked my shoulder and asked "So what is so important that you broke into Filch's Office to get?" I looked over to him trying to decide if it was smart to tell them about the map.

    "Well i'm looking for a piece of parchment actually..." my voice trailing off as I see a cabinet marked as dangerous. I went over to it, opening the drawer seeing exactly what I wanted. "Yes!" I practically screamed. One of the twins immediately grabbed the paper from my hand.

    "Ok, so what's so important about this?" he says as he unfolds the paper.

    "This paper is no ordinary paper. Now watch and learn boys." I say as I point my wand down to the parchment, I say "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." with a smirk ink started to appear all over the paper.

    "How the bloody hell did you do that?" One of the twins goes to grab the paper again, but I moved before they could.

"Nope, this is mine and you guys do not touch it unless I allow you too." I look at the paper seeing Filch and McGonagalls footsteps nearing the hall. I quickly turn to the boy's waving bye before sprinting out of the door. As I turn the corner and go into an empty classroom I realize I forgot to relock the door. I mentally hit myself for being so dumb.  I look back at the paper as Georges, Freds, and McGonagalls footstep start to head toward the Gryffindor tower. I looked at the map for any secret passageways when my eyes landed on one.

I went to the tower and in front of the painting before McGonagall. The painting looks at me before saying "What's the Password?"

I looked around making sure nobody was around before telling the painting the password. The painting opens and as it does I can hear footsteps so I run in shutting the door behind me and sprint up the stairs to the girls dormitory.

Tomorrow morning the twins probably won't leave me alone. I will probably tell them everything but i'll wait till tomorrow to worry about that. I change out of my robes into my nightgown before I point my wand at the parchment saying "Mischief managed." I yawn before I lay in bed to fall asleep.

After a while I realized I couldn't so I went back down the stairs to see Fred and George sitting by the dying fire. I sit next to them before anyone speaks up. I put my hand up, shushing them both up. "If you want me to tell you about the map, hush up because I will only talk as long as you don't ask questions till I'm done." I look between the two, both of them nodding eagerly.

I decided to start the story from the beginning. "Well years ago when the Marauders came to Hogwarts they decided they needed to find a way around the school so they wouldn't be caught when playing pranks or causing mischief.  They created this map to show them what every person in the castle was doing and where they were at. They all nicknamed each other Moony, Padfoot, Wormtail, and Prongs. They enchanted this parchment so no spells but the one I should you would reveal the map. They were all very talented Wizards and that is how they were able to make such a map. I had heard this story from Lupin and he told me where I could possibly find it so that I could make sure that I was safe no matter what I was doing." The Twins stared at me for a moment before they just shook their heads and then questioned me.

"So Lupin knew where the map was why?" "Why would you need the map Tori? Planning on getting into trouble?" they both asked at the same time. Instead of answering their questions I decided I was tired and that I wanted to go to bed. So I got up, turned to them and said. "I'm tired, you two should get some rest too. We have the first day of classes tomorrow and then I'll tell you more about the map, or maybe we could test it out." I say as I turn and go back up the stairs. When my head hit the pillow I practically passed out.
