A/N: Well, it's been awhile since I wrote a chapter for this. I think it's time. So, here you go!
I don't own Harry Potter, the deathly Hallows or anything from the world of Harry. That's all the property of J.K. Rowling.
Enjoy!
Chapter 2: Caught
When the first light was poking out of the horizon, Teddy finally walked back to the castle. He looked at the stone in his hand again. He could finally see it properly. It was a jagged little black stone. It had a crack down the middle, and Teddy thought it was the weirdest looking stone he had ever seen. He thought of discarding it back on the ground, but something told him to keep it.
"Teddy! Teddy! C'mon hurry up! McGonagall is on her way!" Fred Weasley Jr. said.
Teddy ran up to his best friend. He knew it was serious when the headmistress was out searching the halls at this ungodly hour. She had survived through both Wizarding Wars against Voldermort and she had even taken four stunning spells to the chest. Not much fazed her, or scared her. If she was out and about, it was serious.
"Fred, what the hell happened?"
"Well, that prank I told you about yesterday may or may not have gone off a few hours early."
"Fred! You know I spend these kinds of nights outside all night, you couldn't have gotten up early and done it?"
"But, that wouldn't have been any fun."
Fred had inherited all of his father's genes for pranks. He was almost as famous as George and Fred were.
"Fred, you really need to stop," he said, not even hiding his smile.
"Yeah, but then there would be nothing to do in this place!"
"You have that right."
They walked into the school, watching for Filch or McGonagall. They didn't notice Mrs. Norris prancing to go find her master.
"Fred, where are we going?"
"The Common Room, duh," he whispered, pulling a map out of his pocket.
"What the hell is that?" Teddy said skeptically.
"Well, you see it's this map my dad sent me. He and Fred had it at school for the longest time, and then they gave it to Harry Potter. I really should've told you, because Dad just got it back from Harry and it turns out your dad helped make it. So did Harry's."
"What?" he yelled.
"Shush! I'll explain the whole story when we get back to the common room."
They both heard footsteps down the hall, and George whispered something to the map. Then they ran.
"Just noticed, Filch is coming. We're going to have to run."
"Fantastic. Weasley, I really need to stop hanging around with you."
"Oh, come on. You know I make detention a blast."
"Yeah, sure."
"Oh, come on. You know it's true," he said laughing.
Peeves decided to appear in front of them.
"Ooh, students in the halls! Students in the halls!" he screamed.
"Peeves, do you remember that favor you owe me? Now you're going to go tell Filch that the students are in the Charms corridor. Or, I tell the Bloody Baron it was you who ruined his surprise death day party."
"No, no there's no need for that. No, I'll… I'll just go tell Filch."
"Fred, that was bloody brilliant," Teddy whispered as they ran.
"I know! Best plan ever. I wasn't even sure it was him. Could've been that 7th year that hates him."
"Really, Mr. Weasley? What a story that is. My office. Now!" McGonagall yelled.
She had been standing in the middle of the next corridor.
"You too Mr. Lupin."
