James Potter sauntered into the common room. He had yet another detention with Flitch for being out of bed. It was getting ridicules! He and the rest of the Marauders were working on something that could solve the problem, but until it was finished they were getting detentions left and right.
"Remus!" he shouted.
Remus Lupin, who's head was resting on the table, jolted awake. There was a piece of paper stuck to his cheek that left a smudge of ink on his it once je peeled it off.
"What?" he asked still trying to wake himself up.
"Is it almost done?"
"Almost."
Remus looked at the piece of parchment on the table. It was a map of Hogwarts with all is the secret passages they had found. It was rather redundant. They knew thus castle by heart, the problem was the professors and one annoying caretaker. People were unpredictable, even if they knew there schedule by heart they still couldn't accurately predict where they'd be at all times.
"I just need something from Flitch and then I can activate it." Remus moaned.
The smirk on James's face meant that he either had the answers to all your problems or he was about to rain hell down on you. Remus positioned himself to run just in case it was the latter.
"Well its a good thing that our beloved caretaker did take me to his office to dictate my detention himself." James said.
Remus's jaw dropped. Quickly he can to the base of the stairs that lead to the boy's dorm.
"Padfoot! Wormtail! Get down here!"
Two very sleepy boys loudly made their way down the steps.
"Oi Moony. What's this all about?" Sirius groaned. Peter just sat down on an armchair and looked at Remus and James expectantly.
Without answering him, Remus placed the long greasy hair on the map. He muttered a spell and the hair sunk into the parchment.
"It's almost done." Remus said smiling, "I thought we should all be here for this.
Clearing his throat and pointing his wand at the blank piece of parchment, Remus said as clearly and deliberately as he could,
"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."
