A map designed to show every classroom, hall, corridor, and even secret passageway of the Hogwarts Castle but also capable of identifying every person, ghost, and poltergeist roaming about. Or so they thought. It takes Elspeth Hayes casually strolling down the corridor one afternoon for the boys to realise that she's not showing up on the map and they want to figure out why. But Elspeth is not about to give away her secrets so easily, after all, a girl has to have her secrets to keep the boys on their toes.

a little story I'm writing involving the movie stand by me, and River Phoenix's character Chris Chambers. I know the boys are 12/13, which is fairly young so I'm making them about 14 instead. I am not trying to ruin the point of this movie! I'm just having fun and messing around. I do not own stand by me or any of the characters except the ones I created. Hope you enjoy and don't take it too seriously! cover photo: Sue Lyon as Lolita in 1962
