Author's note- for those who have not caught on when the words have parenthesis around them Harry, Hermione or Ron are thinking that to the others. There are different parentheses for every character that can do the telepathy thing.

Disclaimer- I know you probably hear this every time you read a story, but I do not own any of the characters that are in any of the Harry Potter books which is all of the characters at this part of the story.

Harry Potter and the Powerful Friendship-Part 4

The day was horrible for Harry. He had double Defense Against the Dark Arts in the morning and Care of Magical Creatures in the afternoon. It was hard for Harry to concentrate since he had made up his mind not to talk to Sirius and Dumbledore until they decided that he didn't need a babysitter. So he spent the morning avoiding Sirius's gaze and not speaking whenever was possible. Ron and Harry of course kept thinking to each other so no one would hear them. Ron kept trying to pry the information about what happened but Harry would not tell them.

(Come on just tell me what happened?) Ron thought to Harry trying to get a hint of anything that had happened. Hermione could hear everything of course but she kept her nose out of the conversation.

[I am not telling you anything, so bug off.] Harry said. Hermione shot a look at the two of them telling them to be quiet. Once Ron had looked away her expressions changed so she was now looking questioningly at Harry, but Harry choose to ignore this.

The afternoon was just as bad as the morning. Lupin, of course, had been told everything, most likely by Sirius, and kept shooting questioning looks at Harry. So Harry had another hour of ignoring everybody as much as possible. Hermione had noticed that Harry wasn't paying attention and nudged him in the arm with her shoulder.

{What are you thinking about? You haven't said a word to anyone all day except to tell them to leave you alone and Sirius and Lupin have been looking at you strangely like you're not telling them something, which, by the way, you are since you won't tell me or Ron anything either.} Hermione snapped at him.

Harry just sat there and ignored her. She knew she had been heard but she also new it must be something serious that was bugging him otherwise he wouldn't of been so quiet and all that.

By the end of Care of Magical Creatures Hermione and Ron were both mad at Harry for not telling them and they were not saying a word to each other.

When they got back to the Common Room that night after a very quiet dinner, Harry grabbed Ron and Hermione by the backs of their shirts and led them up to a room that neither of them had noticed before.

{What are we doing here?} Hermione asked him with a bewildered tone.

Harry sat down with a sigh and told them everything that Dumbledore and Sirius had told him.

{You know they are right.} Hermione said when he had finished.

[Do you always have to say that when something like this happens?] Harry asked with disgust.

{It's not that bad you know. I think I may know a way to become unplottable on the map.}

(Really!) Ron said with excitement.

{Yeah, I found a recently written book in the library the other day and it had a newly revised spell to make it possible to be unplottable. There are other spells of course but your father and his friends probably already thought of those and made it so they wouldn't work. Or we could find a way to make your name show up as something like Draco Malfoy. Although we will have to search for a spell for that one.} Hermione told them.

[Let's try making my name show up as Draco Malfoy, that way we can get Slytherin fined heavily for it.] Harry said with a unreadable glint in his eyes.

{Okay then, we got to go to the library and since I am a prefect I can go with you and you won't get in trouble} Hermione said as she turned towards the door to head back down to the common room.

Ron and Harry exchanged a look, they were both wondering what had happened to the perfectly rule abiding Hermione.

[Let's get going.] Harry said and they both started to go down to the library.

An hour later they had finally found a book that looked promising. Hermione had grabbed the book so Harry hadn't had the chance to read the title or who had wrote it. When he saw the title page he gasped at the names of the authors.

The other two, who hadn't noticed it looked down at the names and they too gasped.

(Your father wrote that book.) Ron finally managed to say.

{But the title on the outside said a Mr. Snorps wrote it.} Hermione said in a tiny voice.

[Yes but the title on the inside said that it is titled The Mystery of the Marauder's Map and written by Misters Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs. Do you mind if I take the book, I would like to read it?] Harry took the book, without waiting for an answear and started it, ignoring the conversation that was going on.

Finally he said [It's all here. Everything. From not being on the map at all to being able to be known as someone else.]

(How do we do it?) Ron questioned.

[It's a simple spell but we will have to do it tomorrow, because if we wait are out of the common room any longer Dumbledore will probably send a search and rescue group out to find us.] Said Harry as he stood up and headed towards the door.

The other two looked after him and quickly followed. This year would be very exciting.
