Harry Potter and the Penta-Heir
Chapter One: Early Presents
For most children and teenagers on summer vacation, midnight was a time for sleep. However, in the smallest bedroom at Number Four, Privet Drive, a boy with jet-black hair and green eyes was sitting at a desk writing with a book open next to him.
The moment he set his quill down, two owls swooped in the open window. One of them was a snowy owl. The other was an eagle owl. The snowy owl nipped the boy's ear and held out its leg, which had a letter tied to it. The boy untied the letter and said, "Thanks, Hedwig." Hedwig zoomed into her cage. The address on the envelope read in VERY neat handwriting:
Harry Potter
Harry knew as soon as he saw the neat handwriting that it must be from Hermione. He didn't recognize the eagle owl. He supposed it must either belong to his school, Hogwarts, or Sirius Black, his godfather. He untied the letter from its leg. When he read the address he figured out which.
Mr. H. Potter
The Smallest Bedroom
4 Privet Drive
Little Whinging
Surrey
That could only be a school owl. In any case, he opened the letter Hedwig had given him first. It read:
Dear Harry,
I know it's been less than a week since school got out, but I wanted to see if you could come over to my house. I'm really worried about you, Harry. I haven't heard of anything from the wizarding world, and I think that if either I could come to Privet Drive, or you could come to my house, we'd both be a lot safer with Voldemort after you. I still can't believe he murdered Cedric. If he can get Death Eaters into Hogwarts that easily, they won't have much of a problem getting at you, Ron, and I.
Love From,
Hermione
PS, I've already owled Professor Dumbledore to see if it's all right and he's said yes. Hopefully so will your aunt and uncle.
Harry opened up the other letter.
Harry,
Ms. Granger owled me requesting permission for you to go to her house. I said yes, but for you to do so, you'll need to promise me something. Protect yourself and Hermione at all costs. You, Mr. Weasley, and Ms. Granger have been given permission to use magic out of school. I have heard that Mr. Weasley and his family will be going to see his brother in Romania, so don't worry about him. He'll have five people that can use magic other than him around. As I said before, protect yourselves. Don't put yourself in a dangerous situation. Snuffles will be around you most of the time. Don't worry about him getting caught, he won't even be recognizable to anyone but people who know he's innocent and won't turn him in.
Stay well,
Albus Dumbledore
PS, Use the cloak when needed. Snuffles will give you an early birthday present when you meet up with him again./i
Harry pondered this for a while, wondering what the gift could be, what his relatives would say, and what it'd be like to spend the summer at Hermione's house.
Harry did this for a good portion of time, and around 1:30 AM, he lay back on his bed and fell asleep.
He woke up the next morning startled. He looked around the room. He didn't see anything out of the ordinary. It wasn't until Harry was halfway through his morning rituals when he noticed the black dog sitting in front of his dresser.
"Sirius!" Harry practically shouted.
The dog transformed into a pale-faced man. "Harry, quiet down. You'll attract your aunt and uncle."
"Sorry."
"I was wondering how long it'd take you to notice me. The reason you woke up is because I had jumped off of your bed. Anyway, Dumbledore told me to give this to you as soon as possible," said Sirius, taking a book shaped package out of a bag that Harry hadn't noticed.
"Thanks. I got his letter about that last night," he said, ripping the paper off of the package. It was a book called 'So You Want To Make an Enchanted Map by the Marauders'. "You made a book on making enchanted maps?"
"Yes, just before we got out of Hogwarts we wrote it. We published it almost immediately after we got out. Basically, it's how to make a new Marauders Map for a place other than Hogwarts. All the rules, restrictions, and instructions are in there," he said.
"Wow, thanks. I didn't even think about how to make a new one. I'll have to get started on reading it as soon as possible."
"No need to thank me. It'll be easier to avoid danger that way. I got you some other stuff, too. Things like sneak-o-scopes, see-all-glasses, and other magical things. Well, I'll set these on your bed, since I'm going to be patrolling the block as a dog for a while. I really hope you can make a map of this neighborhood," he said, winking and smiling at the same time. "Then, I wouldn't have to patrol it."
Harry laughed. "I'll get started on it soon. Did you hear about me going over to Hermione's house?"
"Yea, I'll be coming with you wherever you go throughout the summer. Then, I'll be wandering around Hogsmeade and Hogwarts until next summer."
"Really? Why?"
"So I can be your councilor and give you a bit of extra protection. Well, I'd better go, before the Death Eaters start swarming," he joked. They both laughed a bit before Sirius changed back into a dog and went outside to patrol.
Harry immediately opened the bag. There were a few books, and a lot of magical items. Each item had a piece of parchment stuck to it.
He dumped the contents onto his bed. There were three pairs of glasses, two sneak-o-scopes, thirty pieces of parchment, two green and brown stones, six watches, and four books.
The books were titled 'Snakes: The Magical and Mystical by Salazar Slytherin', 'Who Would Have Thought You'd Want To Be An Animagus by Emeric Switch', 'How to Use Magical Items: A Guide to All Magical Items Known to the Magical World by Albus Dumbledore', and 'Potions and Divination: Help for the Helpless by Cassandra Jigger'.
Harry laughed at the titles. 'Who would have thought Sirius knew almost everything about me, from my grades to my abilities,' thought Harry. 'Although he probably had some help figuring it out.' In any case, Harry searched through the items. He found out that the glasses were See-All- Glasses, the parchment was for the maps, the green and brown stone was called the anify stone, three of the watches were called tele-watches, and the other three were wristwatch versions of the clock at the Burrow.
He looked up the anify stone and the tele-watches in his 'How to Use Magical Items' book. The anify stone was used to identify if you were able to become an animagi. If you were, it would project a hologram of yourself, which would change into the animal you could become. If you could become two, it would project two different holograms of yourself. The tele-watches enabled the wearer of one watch to talk telepathically to the wearer of another pre-set watch. Only three watches could be linked together at one time, so you couldn't talk to three other people at the same time. Then, he looked up the see-all glasses.
See-All-Glasses
See-All-Glasses have the ability to see through anything other than the closest materials to a person's private areas. For instance, if a man had no underwear/boxers on, you wouldn't be able to see through his pants. If he did have underwear/boxers on, you could see through his pants, but not his boxers/underwear. The same goes for women, except their breasts are covered along with their groin. All you need to do to see through items is focus on seeing what's behind what you're looking at.
Harry felt himself blush. Harry took off his regular glasses and tried on a pair of the See-All-Glasses. He looked around. Everything looked the same as when he had his real glasses on, except that he could see through the walls when he tried to.
To make sure he didn't look weird, Harry used his wand to make one pair of the See-All-Glasses look identical to his real glasses. He decided to put on a tele-watch and wristwatch, and head downstairs for breakfast. He put all the stuff back in his bag, which he put under his bed.
While walking downstairs, Harry looked towards the kitchen. He could see right into the kitchen. Aunt Petunia was cooking bacon, while Uncle Vernon was reading the morning paper with an empty plate. Harry looked towards the front yard. He saw Sirius walking along the sidewalk and Mrs. Figg petting him while getting ready to go to the front door. Harry hurried into the kitchen.
"Somebody get the door. It's Mrs. Figg."
"What are you talk--" his aunt said, while the doorbell interrupted her. Aunt Petunia sighed. "I'll get it. Tend to the bacon, boy. You'd better not let it burn this time."
Harry was tending to the bacon when his aunt and Mrs. Figg came in and sat down. "Hello there, Harry," said Mrs. Figg.
"Hello, Mrs. Figg," said Harry.
"Here, let me finish the bacon," said Aunt Petunia, getting up. Harry went over and sat down next to Mrs. Figg. She whispered in his ear.
"I know you're a wizard. My first name's Arabella. Perhaps you've heard of me?"
"I never knew you were a witch!" Harry whispered back, surprised. "I'll be right back, I just remembered I wanted Mrs. Figg to look at something," Harry said to his aunt and uncle. He ran upstairs and grabbed a tele-watch. He came back down and told her to put it on.
'Oh, I've heard of these. Tele-watches, right?' Harry heard Mrs. Figg say in his mind.
'Yea, my godfather gave me a bunch of magical things. There were three See- All-Glasses, two sneak-o-scopes, some parchment, two Anify stones, three tele-watches, five books, and three of these,' he said, pointing to the wristwatch.
'Wow, that's a lot. Early birthday presents, I suppose?'
'I guess you could say that.'
Aunt Petunia then set the bacon down on the table. Harry grabbed about five pieces and ate his breakfast. Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia, and Dudley talked to each other while Harry and Mrs. Figg talked about the wizarding world telepathically. When breakfast was over, Mrs. Figg took off the watch, gave it back to Harry, and said, "Well, I'd better get back to my house. See you all later," while giving a discreet wink to Harry.
Once she was out the door, Harry ran to his room. Once he was there, he immediately opened the book on enchanted maps and started reading.

Chapter One - Rules on Enchanted Maps
One can never forget to make rules for one's inventions.
Rule number one: Limit three magical maps per place.
(List of magical maps of where and how many in back)
Rule number two: One map can have no more and no less than one password to open, and one to close. The passwords MUST be different.
Sorry, but those are the only rules.
Chapter Two - Getting the Right Ingredients
In order to make a proper map, you will need the following tools and ingredients:
One Standard, Size Two Pewter Cauldron
One piece of Marauder's Parchment per story of area
One feather from a snowy owl
Five hairs from a werewolf or a dog that looks like the grim
One whisker from a rat
The pedal from a flower
Chapter Three - Making the Map
Put your cauldron over a flame.
Add ten gallons of water.
Let boil for ten minutes.
Add the pedal from a flower and the feather from the snowy owl.
Let boil for fifteen more minutes.
Add the five hairs from a grim/werewolf.
Remove from heat.
Add the whisker from a rat.
Add heat.
Boil for five more minutes.
Remove heat.
Let it sit for two hours.
Add the parchment(only the amount needed)
Boil for thirty minutes.
Remove parchment.
Make a password to open the map
To make the password to reveal the map 'Prongs', simply point your wand at the parchment and say, 'Dico la verbum Prongs patefacio'. To make it 'Wormtail', do the same, except say, 'Dico la verbum Wormtail patefacio' instead
Make a password to close the map
To make the password to close the map 'Moony', do as above, except this time, say, 'Dico la verbum Moony occludo'. To make it 'Padfoot', do the same, except say, 'Dico la verbum Padfoot occludo'
Tell the map where you want the map where the map is about.
To make the map of 'London', do as you would if making the password except say, 'La ducere es de London'
Chapter Four - Using the Map
In order to make the map open, say the password you gave the map to open. Let's use this example. We used 'Prongs' as the opening password, and 'Padfoot' as the closing. To open the map, I would tap my wand on the map, while saying, 'Prongs.' To close the map once it has been opened, I do the same, except say, 'Padfoot' instead.
Chapter Five - The Magical Maps
There is only one map that has been made using this formula. When the next one is made, or a map is given to someone else, this book will renew itself.
Name - Location Used For - Who Owns It - Who Made It
Marauders Map - Hogwarts - Harry Potter - The Marauders
Harry finished reading the book. 'So that's what the parchment was,' Harry thought. 'Marauder's Parchment.' Harry looked at Chapter Two again. He could easily get the owl feather, flower pedal, and hairs, and he already had the cauldron and parchment, but he didn't have any idea where to get the rat whisker.
Harry decided to ask Sirius if he knew where to get the rat whisker. He grabbed the tele-watch he had let Mrs. Figg borrow and looked towards where he last saw Sirius. He was sitting on the doorstep.
Harry walked downstairs, sneaked out the front door, and attached the tele- watch to Sirius' paw.
Harry heard Sirius say telepathically, 'What on earth?' while he turned to face Harry.
'Sirius, do you know where I can find a rat whisker?'
'Oh, is that what you wanted, Harry? I nearly jumped out of my skin!'
'No, I was also wondering, could I get the five 'grim' hairs from you?'
'Sure. I have some loose hairs on my left shoulder. I saw a rat over in the garden.'
'Thanks, Sirius. By the way, do you know how to 'temporarily' turn these off?'
'Yea, see the button just below the screen?'
'Yea.'
'Press that. It'll deactivate for one minute every time you press that. If you press it more than once, it'll do more than one minute.'
'OK, thanks again, Sirius.' Harry pressed the button five times, picked five hairs off of Sirius' left shoulder, and walked over to the garden. He saw a rat with six whiskers trying to run away before Harry could spot him. Harry quickly grabbed it and pulled off a whisker. Then, he set the rat back down and started walking back to Sirius.
On his way, he saw a flower. His mind quickly remembered he would need a flower pedal for the potion. He grabbed it, and finished walking to Sirius.
'Has it worn off yet, Sirius?'
'Yea, I can hear you. So, what else do you need?'
'Well, I've got the flower pedal, hairs and whisker, all I'll need are the ten gallons of water and a snowy owl feather.'
'There's a spell for getting water. To get ten gallons, simply say 'efficio diez aqua!' and you'll have ten gallons.'
'Oh, thanks again. Is there a button you can push on this for hours?'
'Yea, it's the blue one that says 'accelerate'. It does the same as the minute one, except uses hours. Just so you know, it takes a total of three hours for the first time, you can use the same potion as many times as you need, and after the first time, it takes two hours and thirty minutes. Just start from the part that says 'Let it sit for two hours'.'
'Thanks. I'll have to remember that. Well, I'm going to go try to talk a feather out of Hedwig. See you later, Sirius.'
'See you, Harry.'
Harry up to his room. On the way, he pressed the blue button three times, then pressed the gray one thirty. Hedwig was still sitting in her cage when he got back. Harry set up his potion equipment.
"Hedwig, could I have one of your feathers to use in a potion? It says I need a snowy owl feather, and you're the only snowy owl I know," Harry asked. She flew over to Harry and nipped his ear affectionately before trying to pull one of her feathers out. Harry supposed this must have meant yes.
When she got it out, she turned to Harry and dropped it in his hand. "Thanks, Hedwig," Harry said while getting out his wand. Harry lit the fire underneath the cauldron."Efficio diez aqua!" he said, putting the tip of his wand in his cauldron. It filled with water.
Ten minutes later, Harry threw in Hedwig's feather and the flower pedal. After fifteen more minutes, Harry added Sirius' five hairs. He quickly removed the cauldron from the heat and added the rat whisker. He put the cauldron back on the flame and boiled it for five more minutes. He took the cauldron back off and put the fire out.
Harry decided to read one of his old schoolbooks. Almost two hours later, he added two pieces of Marauder's Parchment, and read for twenty more minutes. Then, he took the parchment back out.
Harry thought about what password to give it for a few minutes. He finally thought of a good one. He pointed his wand at the parchment and said, "Dico la verbum Privet Drive mischief patefacio!" The words 'Privet Drive mischief' flew out of his wand surrounded by scarlet and gold. The words and colors embedded themselves into the parchment.
"Dico la verbum muggles managed occludo!" he said, wand in the same position. The words 'muggles managed' flew out of his wand surrounded by blue and bronze. The words and colors embedded themselves into the parchment. "La dectum es de Privet Drive!" he said. The words 'Privet Drive' flew out of his wand surrounded by green and silver. The words and colors embedded themselves into the parchment, except this time, after they were embedded, all three phrases disappeared.
Harry tapped the map with his wand while saying, "Privet Drive mischief!" From the place where his wand had touched the parchment lines grew out like a spider web to form the newly made map.
Sirius had moved to sit on the sidewalk at the edge of the road. Aunt Petunia was working in the garden next to the back door. Dudley was watching television in his room. Harry put his cauldron inside his closet and looked at his wristwatch. It was noon. It had been three hours and twenty-nine minutes since he had talked to Sirius. Harry waited a minute before thinking, 'Hey, Sirius.'
'Harry?'
'Yea. I finished the map. Come look. Dudley's in his room and Aunt Petunia's out back.'
'Great, I'll be up in a sec.'
About five seconds later, Sirius busted open the door, still in his dog form. Harry went over to shut the door. As soon as the door was shut, Sirius changed back to human form.
"Well, where's the map?" Sirius asked impatiently.
"It's over here on my desk," Harry said, walking over to his desk with Sirius following.
"Good job, Harry."
"Thanks," Harry said, blushing.
A/N: So, what do you think? I'll have the next chapter posted once I've finished it. I'm hoping, by then, I'll have at least five reviews. *HINT, HINT, NUDGE, NUDGE* Does anyone get where I got the idea for the ingredients? Please say what you think they are from in your reviews

Harry Potter and the Penta-Heir
Chapter One: Early Presents
For most children and teenagers on summer vacation, midnight was a time for sleep. However, in the smallest bedroom at Number Four, Privet Drive, a boy with jet-black hair and green eyes was sitting at a desk writing with a book open next to him.
The moment he set his quill down, two owls swooped in the open window. One of them was a snowy owl. The other was an eagle owl. The snowy owl nipped the boy's ear and held out its leg, which had a letter tied to it. The boy untied the letter and said, "Thanks, Hedwig." Hedwig zoomed into her cage. The address on the envelope read in VERY neat handwriting:
Harry Potter
Harry knew as soon as he saw the neat handwriting that it must be from Hermione. He didn't recognize the eagle owl. He supposed it must either belong to his school, Hogwarts, or Sirius Black, his godfather. He untied the letter from its leg. When he read the address he figured out which.
Mr. H. Potter
The Smallest Bedroom

That could only be a school owl. In any case, he opened the letter Hedwig had given him first. It read:

I haven't heard of anything from the wizarding world, and I think that if either I could come to Privet Drive, or you could come to my house, we'd both be a lot safer with Voldemort after you. I still can't believe he murdered Cedric. If he can get Death Eaters into Hogwarts that easily, they won't have much of a problem getting at you, Ron, and I.

PS, I've already owled Professor Dumbledore to see if it's all right and he's said yes. Hopefully so will your aunt and uncle.
Harry opened up the other letter.
Harry,
Ms. Granger owled me requesting permission for you to go to her house. I said yes, but for you to do so, you'll need to promise me something. Protect yourself and Hermione at all costs. You, Mr. Weasley, and Ms. Granger have been given permission to use magic out of school. I have heard that Mr. Weasley and his family will be going to see his brother in Romania, so don't worry about him. He'll have five people that can use magic other than him around.

"I was wondering how long it'd take you to notice me. The reason you woke up is because I had jumped off of your bed. Anyway, Dumbledore told me to give this to you as soon as possible," said Sirius, taking a book shaped package out of a bag that Harry hadn't noticed.
"Thanks. I got his letter about that last night," he said, ripping the paper off of the package. It was a book called 'So You Want To Make an Enchanted Map by the Marauders'. "You made a book on making enchanted maps?"
"Yes, just before we got out of Hogwarts we wrote it. We published it almost immediately after we got out. Basically, it's how to make a new Marauders Map for a place other than Hogwarts. All the rules, restrictions, and instructions are in there," he said.
"Wow, thanks. I didn't even think about how to make a new one. I'll have to get started on reading it as soon as possible."

"Really? Why?"
"So I can be your councilor and give you a bit of extra protection. Well, I'd better go, before the Death Eaters start swarming," he joked. They both laughed a bit before Sirius changed back into a dog and went outside to patrol.
Harry immediately opened the bag. There were a few books, and a lot of magical items. Each item had a piece of parchment stuck to it.
He dumped the contents onto his bed. There were three pairs of glasses, two sneak-o-scopes, thirty pieces of parchment, two green and brown stones, six watches, and four books.
The books were titled 'Snakes: The Magical and Mystical by Salazar Slytherin', 'Who Would Have Thought You'd Want To Be An Animagus by Emeric Switch', 'How to Use Magical Items: A Guide to All Magical Items Known to the Magical World by Albus Dumbledore', and 'Potions and Divination: Help for the Helpless by Cassandra Jigger'.
Harry laughed at the titles. 'Who would have thought Sirius knew almost everything about me, from my grades to my abilities,' thought Harry. 'Although he probably had some help figuring it out.' In any case, Harry searched through the items. He found out that the glasses were See-All- Glasses, the parchment was for the maps, the green and brown stone was called the anify stone, three of the watches were called tele-watches, and the other three were wristwatch versions of the clock at the Burrow.
He looked up the anify stone and the tele-watches in his 'How to Use Magical Items' book. The anify stone was used to identify if you were able to become an animagi. If you were, it would project a hologram of yourself, which would change into the animal you could become. If you could become two, it would project two different holograms of yourself. The tele-watches enabled the wearer of one watch to talk telepathically to the wearer of another pre-set watch. Only three watches could be linked together at one time, so you couldn't talk to three other people at the same time. Then, he looked up the see-all glasses.
See-All-Glasses
See-All-Glasses have the ability to see through anything other than the closest materials to a person's private areas. For instance, if a man had no underwear/boxers on, you wouldn't be able to see through his pants. If he did have underwear/boxers on, you could see through his pants, but not his boxers/underwear. The same goes for women, except their breasts are covered along with their groin. All you need to do to see through items is focus on seeing what's behind what you're looking at.
Harry felt himself blush. Harry took off his regular glasses and tried on a pair of the See-All-Glasses. He looked around. Everything looked the same as when he had his real glasses on, except that he could see through the walls when he tried to.
To make sure he didn't look weird, Harry used his wand to make one pair of the See-All-Glasses look identical to his real glasses. He decided to put on a tele-watch and wristwatch, and head downstairs for breakfast. He put all the stuff back in his bag, which he put under his bed.
While walking downstairs, Harry looked towards the kitchen. He could see right into the kitchen. Aunt Petunia was cooking bacon, while Uncle Vernon was reading the morning paper with an empty plate. Harry looked towards the front yard. He saw Sirius walking along the sidewalk and Mrs. Figg petting him while getting ready to go to the front door. Harry hurried into the kitchen.
"Somebody get the door. It's Mrs. Figg."
"What are you talk--" his aunt said, while the doorbell interrupted her. Aunt Petunia sighed. "I'll get it. Tend to the bacon, boy. You'd better not let it burn this time."
Harry was tending to the bacon when his aunt and Mrs. Figg came in and sat down. "Hello there, Harry," said Mrs. Figg.
"Hello, Mrs. Figg," said Harry.
"Here, let me finish the bacon," said Aunt Petunia, getting up. Harry went over and sat down next to Mrs. Figg. She whispered in his ear.
"I know you're a wizard. My first name's Arabella. Perhaps you've heard of me?"
"I never knew you were a witch!" Harry whispered back, surprised. "I'll be right back, I just remembered I wanted Mrs. Figg to look at something," Harry said to his aunt and uncle. He ran upstairs and grabbed a tele-watch. He came back down and told her to put it on.
'Oh, I've heard of these. Tele-watches, right?' Harry heard Mrs. Figg say in his mind.
'Yea, my godfather gave me a bunch of magical things. There were three See- All-Glasses, two sneak-o-scopes, some parchment, two Anify stones, three tele-watches, five books, and three of these,' he said, pointing to the wristwatch.
'Wow, that's a lot. Early birthday presents, I suppose?'
'I guess you could say that.'
Aunt Petunia then set the bacon down on the table. Harry grabbed about five pieces and ate his breakfast. Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia, and Dudley talked to each other while Harry and Mrs. Figg talked about the wizarding world telepathically. When breakfast was over, Mrs. Figg took off the watch, gave it back to Harry, and said, "Well, I'd better get back to my house. See you all later," while giving a discreet wink to Harry.
Once she was out the door, Harry ran to his room. Once he was there, he immediately opened the book on enchanted maps and started reading.

To make the password to reveal the map 'Prongs', simply point your wand at the parchment and say, 'Dico la verbum Prongs patefacio'. To make it 'Wormtail', do the same, except say, 'Dico la verbum Wormtail patefacio' instead
Make a password to close the map
To make the password to close the map 'Moony', do as above, except this time, say, 'Dico la verbum Moony occludo'. To make it 'Padfoot', do the same, except say, 'Dico la verbum Padfoot occludo'
Tell the map where you want the map where the map is about.
To make the map of 'London', do as you would if making the password except say, 'La ducere es de London'
Chapter Four - Using the Map
In order to make the map open, say the password you gave the map to open. Let's use this example. We used 'Prongs' as the opening password, and 'Padfoot' as the closing. To open the map, I would tap my wand on the map, while saying, 'Prongs.' To close the map once it has been opened, I do the same, except say, 'Padfoot' instead.
Chapter Five - The Magical Maps
There is only one map that has been made using this formula. When the next one is made, or a map is given to someone else, this book will renew itself.
Name - Location Used For - Who Owns It - Who Made It
Marauders Map - Hogwarts - Harry Potter - The Marauders
Harry finished reading the book. 'So that's what the parchment was,' Harry thought. 'Marauder's Parchment.' Harry looked at Chapter Two again. He could easily get the owl feather, flower pedal, and hairs, and he already had the cauldron and parchment, but he didn't have any idea where to get the rat whisker.
Harry decided to ask Sirius if he knew where to get the rat whisker. He grabbed the tele-watch he had let Mrs. Figg borrow and looked towards where he last saw Sirius. He was sitting on the doorstep.
Harry walked downstairs, sneaked out the front door, and attached the tele- watch to Sirius' paw.
Harry heard Sirius say telepathically, 'What on earth?' while he turned to face Harry.
'Sirius, do you know where I can find a rat whisker?'
'Oh, is that what you wanted, Harry? I nearly jumped out of my skin!'
'No, I was also wondering, could I get the five 'grim' hairs from you?'
'Sure. I have some loose hairs on my left shoulder. I saw a rat over in the garden.'
'Thanks, Sirius. By the way, do you know how to 'temporarily' turn these off?'
'Yea, see the button just below the screen?'
'Yea.'
'Press that. It'll deactivate for one minute every time you press that. If you press it more than once, it'll do more than one minute.'
'OK, thanks again, Sirius.' Harry pressed the button five times, picked five hairs off of Sirius' left shoulder, and walked over to the garden. He saw a rat with six whiskers trying to run away before Harry could spot him. Harry quickly grabbed it and pulled off a whisker. Then, he set the rat back down and started walking back to Sirius.
On his way, he saw a flower. His mind quickly remembered he would need a flower pedal for the potion. He grabbed it, and finished walking to Sirius.
'Has it worn off yet, Sirius?'
'Yea, I can hear you. So, what else do you need?'
'Well, I've got the flower pedal, hairs and whisker, all I'll need are the ten gallons of water and a snowy owl feather.'
'There's a spell for getting water. To get ten gallons, simply say 'efficio diez aqua!' and you'll have ten gallons.'
'Oh, thanks again. Is there a button you can push on this for hours?'
'Yea, it's the blue one that says 'accelerate'. It does the same as the minute one, except uses hours. Just so you know, it takes a total of three hours for the first time, you can use the same potion as many times as you need, and after the first time, it takes two hours and thirty minutes. Just start from the part that says 'Let it sit for two hours'.'
'Thanks. I'll have to remember that. Well, I'm going to go try to talk a feather out of Hedwig. See you later, Sirius.'
'See you, Harry.'
Harry up to his room. On the way, he pressed the blue button three times, then pressed the gray one thirty. Hedwig was still sitting in her cage when he got back. Harry set up his potion equipment.
"Hedwig, could I have one of your feathers to use in a potion? It says I need a snowy owl feather, and you're the only snowy owl I know," Harry asked. She flew over to Harry and nipped his ear affectionately before trying to pull one of her feathers out. Harry supposed this must have meant yes.
When she got it out, she turned to Harry and dropped it in his hand. "Thanks, Hedwig," Harry said while getting out his wand. Harry lit the fire underneath the cauldron."Efficio diez aqua!" he said, putting the tip of his wand in his cauldron. It filled with water.
Ten minutes later, Harry threw in Hedwig's feather and the flower pedal. After fifteen more minutes, Harry added Sirius' five hairs. He quickly removed the cauldron from the heat and added the rat whisker. He put the cauldron back on the flame and boiled it for five more minutes. He took the cauldron back off and put the fire out.
Harry decided to read one of his old schoolbooks. Almost two hours later, he added two pieces of Marauder's Parchment, and read for twenty more minutes. Then, he took the parchment back out.
Harry thought about what password to give it for a few minutes. He finally thought of a good one. He pointed his wand at the parchment and said, "Dico la verbum Privet Drive mischief patefacio!" The words 'Privet Drive mischief' flew out of his wand surrounded by scarlet and gold. The words and colors embedded themselves into the parchment.
"Dico la verbum muggles managed occludo!" he said, wand in the same position. The words 'muggles managed' flew out of his wand surrounded by blue and bronze. The words and colors embedded themselves into the parchment. "La dectum es de Privet Drive!" he said. The words 'Privet Drive' flew out of his wand surrounded by green and silver. The words and colors embedded themselves into the parchment, except this time, after they were embedded, all three phrases disappeared.
Harry tapped the map with his wand while saying, "Privet Drive mischief!" From the place where his wand had touched the parchment lines grew out like a spider web to form the newly made map.
Sirius had moved to sit on the sidewalk at the edge of the road. Aunt Petunia was working in the garden next to the back door. Dudley was watching television in his room. Harry put his cauldron inside his closet and looked at his wristwatch. It was noon. It had been three hours and twenty-nine minutes since he had talked to Sirius. Harry waited a minute before thinking, 'Hey, Sirius.'
'Harry?'
'Yea. I finished the map. Come look. Dudley's in his room and Aunt Petunia's out back.'
'Great, I'll be up in a sec.'
About five seconds later, Sirius busted open the door, still in his dog form. Harry went over to shut the door. As soon as the door was shut, Sirius changed back to human form.
"Well, where's the map?" Sirius asked impatiently.
"It's over here on my desk," Harry said, walking over to his desk with Sirius following.
"Good job, Harry."
"Thanks," Harry said, blushing.
A/N: So, what do you think? I'll have the next chapter posted once I've finished it. I'm hoping, by then, I'll have at least five reviews. *HINT, HINT, NUDGE, NUDGE* Does anyone get where I got the idea for the ingredients? Please say what you think they are from in your reviews
