They continued to do research on the Marauders map and they spent countless hours in the library in between classes and whenever they had some spare free time to do research on the Marurder's map. They would walk right into the library to find out some information on the Marauders Map like who had originally completed it and why Harry was chosen to get the Marurder's map as opposed to another student. At every opportunity, Collin Creevey had he would try to get up close and personal to snap photo after photo after photo of Harry to put in his collection of photos. One day when they were outside on the courtyard green Fleur Delacour a burly looking first year came to find Ron to tell her that she would love to go out with him but she couldn't go out with him because they were blood-related in a sense meaning they were first cousins and she couldn't date and marry Ron because it was illegal of them to marry your blood-related relatives unless they wanted the ministry of magic and Cornelius Fudge after them.
Malfoy teased at Harry with his 2 sidekicks Crabbe and Goyle standing right next to him. He said, "ohhhhh poor potter I saw you down at that brut of a man Hagrid's hut talking to him with Ron and Hermione after lights out and curfew and let professor Snape know the truth of what I saw." He went to talk to Professor McGonagall but professor McGonagall didn't believe his word. Then they went to the headmaster and I am surprised that they didn't expel you, Mr. Weasley, and Miss Granger or worse send you all back to live with your filthy mud blood parents. I told my dad what I saw and he completely agreed with me. Harry said, "shut up Malfoy before I punch the lights out of you." At the moment Malfoy was saved because Snape came out of the classroom the moment Harry was about to punch Malfoy and had his fist up halfway in the air when he heard Snape's voice say "Are you causing mischief and trouble again Mr. Potter." Harry lied and tried to speak but no words came out. Finally, Ron and Hermione spoke up and said "no sir Mr. Malfoy started it by bullying and egging on Harry." "Quiet "Snape yelled I did not ask the two of you." I asked Mr. Potter directly." "So therefore for your snide rude comments I am taking 5 points from Gryffindor," Snape said and "for you Mr. Potter for attempting to fight in the hall I am taking 20 points from Gryffindor." Snape continued for doing wrongdoings I am giving all 3 of you detention on top of your detention from Professor McGonagall.
I am sorry to say Snape said "I don't know how I was given the title of your godfather to you by your parents Mr. Potter. Therefore because you are my godson I don't treat you any differently or give you special privileges you are just like the rest of the students to me Mr. Potter. I have been after professor Quarrel's job for as long as I have worked here and you are lucky so far that I never have gotten it. Otherwise, you would be on my list of students to talk to Professor Dumbledore about why he thought you would do well here and got accepted here in the first place, was it because your mud blood parents went here. At that moment the door opened and Professor McGonagall came into the room and said "Severus Albus and I need to have a word with you." Snape left the classroom but before he did he said "class I want you to read chapter 3 and I am going to quiz you on it when I get back from my meeting with Professor McGonagall and Professor Dumbledore. Harry took the Marauder's map to show to Ron and Hermione and showed them that his parents Lily and James Potter were on their. Malfoy saw this as an opportunity to ask "Mr. Potter what do you have there. Harry answered, "nothing it's none of your business Malfoy." Malfoy responded, "owww I'm scared your keeping secrets from me and the rest of the class." Hermione got up to put a cat curse on Malfoy and turned Malfoy into a cat. The whole class burst out laughing except Crabbe and Goyle who were sitting there stunned and red-faced. Ron said to Malfoy have fun being a cat you need special powers to turn yourself back into a human and even then it doesn't always work Ron said. Snape came in a few minutes later to a very noisy class and said I assume you've finished reading chapter 3 if you're all chatting off and goofing around. He looked around the room and noticed something was wrong he asked Crabbe and Goyle what had happened to Mr. Malfoy and then they told Snape that Miss Granger had turned him into a cat. Miss Granger, why did you manage to do that?" Snape asked. Hermione answered that he was after Harry's possession of the Marurder's map which he was showing to me and Ron that his parents were on their. Let me see this thing Snape said you can get back from me at the end of class." For now, I am going to hold onto it until you show me that you are ready and mature enough to get it back.
