James, Sirius and Gemini stepped out of the portrait hole that led to the houseroom.

After a couple of hours, the three of them had discovered two secret passages and how to get into the kitchens. Gemini was eating a bread roll and mapping the castle out in her head, when she realised she was alone.

"Guys! ...Guys...?"

Gemini was just walking up to a portrait next to a staircase. She went to ask if the man in the picture had seen two dark haired boys (about yay height...etc) when the mischief-makers materialised out of nowhere and gave Gem the fright of her life: she screamed and fell down the stairs.

"Shit! You f***ers! ... Ow, ow, ow ... and James, if you brought that invisibility cloak, I'll owl Mum, and she'll kill you!"

Gem went to stand up. She felt an incredible pain in her ankle and sat down again.

"It was just a joke."

"My ankle," she said flatly, pointing at the odd angle it was facing, "is no joke."

The boys muttered 'oops' and 'sorry' and asked what they should do.

"I recommend you take me up to the hospital wing."

"Where's that?"

"You guys are hopeless, I'll tell you, you take me there. We need a map..."

And Gem planned out the best idea she thought anyone could think of. They needed a map, one that showed where everyone was, even if they were wearing an invisibility cloak, she would never get caught out again. Unfortunately, Gem always forgot that her thought patterns were linked with her twin's and James was now thinking along the same lines as her.

It took over-night for Gem's broken ankle to heal, although she was still limping a bit. By then, however, James had explained 'his' plan to everyone else.

Gemini was sitting in an armchair, next to the fire.

"Sunday, My ankle still hurts like hell, but I can't hand James in for bringing the invisibility cloak, 'coz' (I had to write that in another quill, apparently it's not a word) he said he'd tell everyone I brought my broomstick; it's 'kinda' worse.

I'm getting bored now; there is absolutely nothing to do. It's a nice day and there's a bunch of Slytherins outside, I might make it rain or something, no one will know it was me (I mean, I)."

Gem thought hard about rain, in a few minutes, the sun was hidden by storm clouds and it was pouring down outside.

Gem looked about the Gryffindor common room.

Remus had mysteriously not been at school for the first week and was asking everyone what he had missed out on.

Sky was looking at a list of all the boys who had been in the classroom during Divination, trying to narrow down the possibilities of her soul mate.

Sirius and James were playing wizard chess, they were equally good, and didn't seem to be getting anywhere.

Lily was sitting by the window, trying to figure out how it could be sunny one minute and pouring with rain the next.

The twins, Cindy and M, were talking to the girl Gem had seen in the corridor, Angelica. Gem could see that they were talking about a band Angelica was in. The twins were talking about auditions.
