Brave

Sirius Black

The days passed quickly, and November faded into December. Aurora found herself spending most of her time on school work, loosing many nights of sleep and mealtimes to work on it, while most afternoons were spent practicing quidditch.

Due to the lack of sleep, Aurora was getting snappy even when someone asked a simple question. She was getting very stressed out but didn't want to drop any classes.

Luckily, it was Hogsmeade that day, so Aurora got to relax. Her and Harry were sitting in the common room when Harry had an idea.

"Stay here," he told her, and ran off to his room. Aurora sat there in confusion, wondering what the boy was doing. He came back a few minutes later with his invisibility cloak.

"What's that for?" Aurora asked.

"We can use it to go to Hogsmeade!" Harry exclaimed. Aurora sighed, not knowing if this was a good idea or not, but in the end decided to go with him. The two squeezed under the cloak, so close that Aurora could feel Harry's breath on her neck.

Aurora and Harry walked to Hogsmeade, not realizing that they were leaving foot prints behind them. Fred and George walked up to them and grabbed their arms, dragging them to on empty area.

"Clever, but not clever enough," Fred told them. Harry took the cloak off him and Aurora.

"What are you doing?!" Harry snapped. George took a piece of parchment out of his pocket and handed it to Harry.

"What's this rubbish?" Harry asked.

"What's this rubbish he says," Fred repeated.

"This is the secret to our success."

"And now were giving it to you."

Fred took his wand out and pointed it at the parchment. "I solemnly swear I'm up to no good."

Suddenly, the parchment showed a map of Hogwarts and multiple people moving around.

"Is that-"

"Dumbledore," George said, cutting Harry off.

"In his office."

"Pacing."

"He does that a lot." Fred and George told Aurora and Harry, alternating between the two speaking.

"This map shows anyone, anywhere, whatever they're doing, of every minute, of everyday," Fred told them.

"Wicked," Aurora muttered.

"How did you get it?" Harry asked, looking up at the twins.

"Nicked it from Filches office of course. First year," George said proudly.

"Now we're giving it to you," the twins told them.

"Now, you can take this path to Hogsmeade," George said, pointing at a spot on the map. "Just go to the one-eyed witch. When you're done, tap it and say mischief managed."

Fred handed the map to Harry. "Have fun, and behave yourselves," he told them, imitating Percy.

Aurora and Harry walked through the empty walls of Hogwarts to the statue of the one-eyed witch on the 7th floor.

Aurora pulled out her wand and tapped it's nose. "Dissendium."

The one-eyed witch moved to the side and a space in the wall was created. Harry and Aurora squeezed through the space and walked through the damp hall. 

About half an hour later, Harry bumped into a door on the ceiling. He stopped walking and Aurora, who wasn't paying attention, bumped into his back.
