My letter still hasn't come yet! My three best mates, Teddy, Charlotte, and Zayn, have all gotten their letters ages ago! I look out the window just as an owl comes. I quickly take the letter from the owl and rip the envelope open.
Harry-
Did you get your letter yet?
-Ted
I grab a quill and a piece of parchment and write out a reply.
Teddy-
No, still hasn't come. Should be here soon.
-Harry
I put the letter back onto the owl and sent it back. I continued to stare out the window for about 20 minutes before I see another owl coming. I grab the letter but when I open it I find It's not from Hogwarts.
Harry-
Still haven't gotten your letter? Wow,
are you sure you're a wizard?
-Zany & Char
Zayn, nick named Zany, and Charlotte, nick named Char, were always like this, they were twins and very much alike.
I grabbed another piece of parchment and wrote them a reply.
Zany & Char-
Yeah, it's coming, it has to.
-Harry
I sent the owl back and continued to search for the Hogwarts owl. The sky was starting to get dark and just about when I was about to give up for the day an owl came. I took the letter and first thing I notice is the Hogwarts seal! I read it right away.
My letter finally got here! My dad, Padfoot, and Mooney were talking about going to Diagon Alley to get Teddy, Zany, Char, and I our supplies.
Padfoot, Zany, Char, Mooney, and Teddy were coming over later and we would get our supplies. Mum, Tonks, and Emma, Padfoot's wife, were going to stay here.
A few minutes later I see our fireplace light up in a green flame. Mooney stepped out of the flames. They had to come to our house by Floo powder because Teddy isn't old enough to apparate yet. Teddy came next. He is a metamorphmagus like his Mum so he can change his appearance whenever he wants. Today his hair is blonde and he has blue eyes. Tonks came last, she has shoulder length bubble gum pink hair and blue eyes today.
"Whatcher Harry!"
"Hi Tonks," I said, "Hi Mooney, hey Teddy."
"How are you Harry?" Asked Mooney.
"Good," I reply.
He and Tonks went off to talk to my Mum and Dad. I start talking to Teddy about going to Hogwarts, but our fireplace lit up again and Padfoot walked out.
" Harry, Teddy!" Padfoot greeted us.
Next came Emma who greeted us then went to talk to Tonks and my Mum. Zany came after, closely followed by Char.
They walked over to Teddy and I. Zany and I look a lot like our dads. I however have my mother's eyes. Teddy, being a metamorphmagus, is more like his Mum. Char looks exactly like her Mum. She has auburn hair and brown eyes.
We had only talked for about 5 minutes when our Dads told us it was time to go.
We took turns using the Floo powder to get to Diagon Alley.
Zany, Teddy, Char, and I looked around excitedly at all the colorful shops.
"Ok I'll go to Gringotts to get some gold while Padfoot and Prongs take you four to Olivander's to get your wands." Mooney told us.
Olivander's was just down the street and we were there soon.
"Ahhhh, welcome Mr. Potter, Lupin, Black, and Ms. Black." said Mr. Olovander.
He measured all of us before searching through his supplies. He gave Zayn a 15 inch wand made with dragon heart string, which is like what Padfoot has. Teddy got a 13 inch wand with unicorn hair, like his mother's. Char's wand is 14 inches with unicorn hair like her mother's, and I got a 11 inch wand made of mahogany.
We all tried them and Teddy's, Char's and Zany's choose them but Olivander said mine wasn't right for me. He then had me try a swishy willow like my Mum's. It too wasn't right for me.
"Wow Harry, last to get your letter, last to get your wand," Zany said while laughing.
"Well, better get a good wand that takes longer to find then one that won't work for me." I retorted.
"True young Potter, very true." Mr. Olivander said, "And I do believe this wand will choose you. It is 11 inch holly and phoenix feather."
I take the wand and suddenly I feel a warmth in my hand as Mr. Olivander tells me this is the wand.
We pay for our wands and start to head to Flourish and Blott's where we are going to meet Mooney. As we pass a secluded section Dad and Padfoot pull us aside to talk to us.
"Now we have something to give the four of you," my father tells us.
"It is the reason we were so successful with our pranks while we went to Hogwarts," Padfoot continued.
Dad pulled out an old piece of parchment. He slowly unfolded it and on it was…Nothing? I look again and it is indeed blank.
"What did you need an old piece of parchment for?" Char asked.
Padfoot had a look of mock hurt on his face. My Dad was laughing at him.
"This isn't just an old piece of parchment," Padfoot told us. Both he and my Dad took out their wands, pointed them at the parchment and said, "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good," and suddenly ink started appearing all over it until it said,
Messrs. Mooney, Wormtail, Padfoot, and
Prongs present the Marauder's map.
On the parchment is a complete map of Hogwarts including many passages leading off the map and out of the school. It also showed many little dots all labeled with names of people.
"Wow!" We all said in unison.
"That's you guys, Mooney, Padfoot, and Prongs. But who is Wormtail?" Char asked them.
"Wormtail," My Dad tells us, "Used to be our other best mate. He always used to like his big friends, ones who would protect him. At school it was us but sometime after that it was Voldemort."
"He went to the dark side?" I asked.
"Yes, he was part of both sides for a while. He joined the Death Eaters and was still part of the Order of the Phoenix. Later, after he decided Voldemort was unstoppable, he became a spy for him." they told us.
"So he betrayed you all just like that?" Teddy asked.
"Yes but we found out he was a spy and he is in Azkaban."
"Wow!" We all said again.
"Well, we better go meet up with Mooney and get the rest of your supplies." they said. Then they tapped the map with their wands and said, "Mischief managed," and it became blank again. "That is the only way to clear it so no one else knows what it is."
We went to Flourish and Blott's and met up with Mooney. It didn't take long to get all our supplies after that. We all got owls of our own too!
We used Floo powder to get back home. Everyone would be staying for dinner so we had time to talk after we got back.
We put our supplies away and Char suggested we go play Quiditch. By the look on her face I can tell she didn't really want to play, but we went along with it anyway.
We went to our broom shed were we all grabbed brooms.
"The shack?" I asked her and she nodded.
The shack is a little place we found years ago. At first it was all rundown and looked as if nobody had been in it for years. After cleaning it up some we discovered it happens to be a great place to talk. It still appears to be rundown from the outside, but after you come into it is very pleasant.
We got on our brooms and start flying through the forest. After we flew for a few minutes the trees started thinning and we flew into the clearing that holds the shack.
The clearing is at a perfect spot just in the center of all of our houses and close enough we can meet up here whenever we want to.
We landed in the middle of the clearing and dismounted. We climbed through the entrance, put down our brooms and sat together in the center of the shack.
"So what's up Char?" Teddy asked.
"It's what Dad and Prongs told us-about Wormtail. What if that happens to us? I mean not about turning to the dark side but when we go to Hogwarts there are four houses. All of us could be in different houses." She told us, looking worried.
I could see her point. Teddy is easily the most loyal person I know and would be perfect for Hufflepuff. Char is quick witted, and smart so she might end up in Ravenclaw. Zany is pureblood and likes to prove himself and could, though not very likely because he hates it, be sorted into Slytherin. I am courageous and brave (I hope) and I would give anything to be put in Gryffindor like my parents were.
"Don't worry about that, it won't affect anything, you know that!" Teddy told her.
"It could. If we are sorted into different houses we will have different common rooms, different house tables, not many lessons with each other, and most importantly we will make other friends with people in our house!" Char said.
"Well, yeah that may be true but that doesn't mean we won't still be friends." Zany said, while being oddly serious. "Plus at the very least two of us are going to be in one house because there is no way any of us will be sorted into Slytherin!" and he is back to normal.
"Now," I said, "that we have that sorted out, lets play some Quiditch."
We can't really play Quiditch seeing as we don't have enough players, and we have to be careful the bludger or snitch don't get away. We just fly around passing the quaffle.
When we do play our mini games, more than just passing the quaffle, we all liked playing different positions. I like playing seeker, Zany likes being the beater, Char a chaser, and Teddy the keeper.
We continue playing for a while but as it starts getting dark we all fly back to my house for dinner.
"Ah, there you are! Your mothers were just about to send me out to get you." Mooney tells us as we walk into the house.
At dinner Teddy, Zany, Char and I talked about Hogwarts and what it would be like.
"I am going to be in Gryffindor." Zany told us confidently. "You will be too of course." he told me.
"So will I." Teddy said.
"Well, to the four soon to be Gryffindors!" Char exclaimed.
"We'll be like our fathers the next group of Marauders!" Zany says.
"We have a lot to live up to then," I say, "And after all they did at Hogwarts, moving on to become well know Aurors, we better start living up to the new Marauders name as soon as we get to school!"
"Definitely" Char, Zany, and Teddy all say.
We continue talking about different pranks we could pull each one more outrageous then the last. All too soon dinner was done and Tonks and Emma were telling Zany, Teddy, Padfoot, and Mooney that it was time to go.
We all said our goodbyes and they were off through the fireplace to their houses.
I walk up to my room and count down the days until I will be going to Hogwarts. Only 15 more days. As eager as I am to go I know I will miss home when I actually get there.
There is a tap at my window and I see Zany's new owl with a note.
Harry-
Only 15 more days!
-Zany & Char
I grab some parchment and write them a reply.
Zany & Char-
I know we are almost there get ready
Hogwarts the new Marauders are coming and
were going to give our fathers a run for their money!
