Secrets, lies and love-Chapter 9-The Marauder's Map

Nicole's POV

After the school's production of Grease, things went back to normal, well, not quite. Sirius Black is still on the loose and I just recently found out from Luna that the reason why I couldn't fit into my costume is because Pansy did something to make the skirt tighter so I would think that I was gaining weight. That pathetic two-faced bitch! She has crossed the line this time!

"PANSY! YOU PATHETIC IDIOT OR WHAT!" I bellowed from the other end of the Great Hall during breakfast the next morning. "YOU DID SOMETHING TO MY COSTUMES TO MAKE ME THINK I WAS GAINING WEIGHT! I-IS THAT REVENGE FOR ME GOING OUT WITH DRACO JUST BECAUSE I'M IN GRYFFINDOR?!"

Pansy smirked, "But you Gryffindorks are riff-raff!," she sneered.

Grace stepped forward, red-faced. "Riff-raff? The reason why you wouldn't recognise this, missus, is because we're all family in Gryffindor. Something you would know nothin' about. And Nicole is your class mate, she's not some dog in a bloody dog show!"

"Good girl, Grace," I said. "You took the words right outta me feckin' mouth," Then I turned to Pansy." And as for you, you fifty pence pole dancer." I sneered.

"Is that the very best you can do?" Pansy sneered before crossing her arms.

I smiled. " No. I feel sorry for the fuckin' pole," I said before Grace and I walked off, laughing.

Grace kinda told everyone about the night me and Drace fell asleep in the forest. The next morning it was the match between Hufflepuff and Gryffindor, the whole of the Gryffindor team, except Wood, were kinda freaking out.

"Honestly," I laughed. "We're going against Hufflepuff. You guys are gonna crush em', why are you worrying about it?"

Harry and Grace nodded. "Nicole's right, you know," said Grace. "I mean look at all the practise we've done."

"Practise that Wood forced us to do..." George muttered.

I forgot to tell you, Grace is on the Gryffindor team, too. She's a Chaser since Alicia Spinnet left the team for no reason so Wood gave the spot to Grace.

After breakfast we huddled together in the stands, in the freezing cold weather! "This is ridiculous!" Hermione muttered. The wind was just insane and the pitch was soaked.

"You're telling me," I said. "It's bloody freezing. Seriously, who agreed to let the match go ahead?"

I felt Hermione shivering even though she had like three layers of clothing on. Then the teams marched onto the field. Not even two minutes into the game and every single one of them was already soaked. I noticed that Harry wasn't doing much during the game.

"How is he supposed to see through his glasses in this weather?" Ron asked.

"I have no idea!" Hermione said loudly.

I saw Harry fly up into the clouds, he was gone for a good few minutes. Then the crowd began to point upwards and saw Harry tumbling down in the rain. "Harry!" I yelled.

"He looks a bit peaky, doesn't he?" Ron asked as me, Hermione, Grace, Fred and George stood around Harry's bed in the Hospital Wing.

"Peaky?" Grace said. "What do you expect? He fell over 100 feet."

"Let's walk you off a tower and see what you look like," said Fred and George together.

Harry's eyes began to slowly open. "Probably a right sight better than he normally does," Harry muttered before sitting up.

Hermione looked worried. "How are you feeling?"

"Oh, brilliant," Harry said sarcasticly.

"You gave us a right good scare," said George.

"What happened?" Harry asked, confused.

I looked at everyone before I spoke. "Well, you fell off your broom."

"Really?" asked Harry. "I meant the match. Who won?" he asked curiously.

Hermione stood. "No one blames you, Harry. Dementors aren't supposed to be on the grounds. Dumbledore's furious. After he saved you, he sent them off."

Ron came forward with something wrapped up in a blanket. "There's something else you should know too," said Ron. "When you fell, your broom sort of blew into the Whomping Willow, and...Well..." He revealed the broomstick snapped into three pieces.

When Tuesday came around, Harry was finally released from the Hospital Wing. Then everyone was planning to go to Hogsmeade the last day before Christmas break. But since Harry and I can't go, there's a 99.9% chance that I'm not going.

"There has to be a way for Harry and Nicole to go to Hogsmeade without getting noticed," said Ron while we were all sitting by the fire in the Gryffindor common room.

"Ron," Grace started. "Harry and Nicole can go anywhere without getting noticed."

"I'm just saying, Gracie," he muttered.

"My name is Grace, you idiot!" she yelled. "Get your facts right."

I giggled.

As me and Harry were sneaking off to Hogsmeade using the invisibility cloak, Fred and George grabbed us and took us inside. Fred was holding a blank piece of parchment in his hand. "What's this rubbish?" I asked before I took the cloak off both me and Harry.

Fred and George laughed. ""What's this rubbish?" she says. It's the secret to our success. It's a wrench giving it to you both...But we've decided your needs are greater than ours. George, if you will."

George pulled out his wand. "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good," then writing appeared on the front of the parchment.

""Messrs. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs...are proud to present the Marauder's Map," Harry read aloud.

I looked closely at the map before opening it. "Is that-?"

"Dumbledore pacing in his office," George smiled. "yes, it is."

"So this map shows...Everyone," Fred smiled.

"Where they are."

"What they're doing."

"Every minute."

"Every day."

Both Harry and I smiled. "Brilliant! Where did you get it?" I asked curiously.

"From Filch's office. First year," Said George.

"There are seven secret passageways out of the castle."

"We'd recommend this one," they both said together, pointing at one of the passageways.

"And don't forget. When you're done, just give it a tap and say: "Mischief managed." Otherwise, anyone can read it," said Fred before they both walked off.

What if we were caught? Nah, I don't care.

Sorry it's short and kinda rubbish but I will make the next chapter longer. Thank you so much for the reviews, please keep them coming. Next chapter coming soon. :)
