Tyson sighed as the portrait of the Fat Lady swung open dreading staying up to the early hour's doing work only to find it all done with a note left on the desk, "hey max, Rei guess what" He yelled only to have Johnny tell him to keep it down. "What?" asked Matt and Rei together, "Kenny and Hilary did our homework" said Tyson happily, "though it will only be a once off" he added showing them the note.

"That was nice of them," Rei said after reading the note and watching Tyson and Max disappear up the stairs to the boys dormitory before turning to Kai who was leaning against a wall as he usually did, "are you coming?" Rei asked yawning. Kai nodded and walked over to where Rei was standing before picking him up into his arms and carrying him up to their room.

Kai looked down at Rei curled up beside him sleeping before he slid out of bed and made his way to the window. After opening it Kai climbed up onto the roof to be met by Tala, "what took you so long?" he asked after having helped Kai up onto the roof. "Had Quidditch Practise" Kai said coolly as he walked with Tala to a spot on the roof overlooking the lake, "Bryan ever gonna come out and have some fun?" Kai asked remembering how it used to always be the three of them, Tala just shrugged.

"Well what did you find?" Tala asked eagerly as they sat down on the roof, "Just some firecrackers of practical joke stuff not really interesting besides this" Kai said as he pulled out the piece of parchment that had been delivered to him that morning. "What would we want with an old plank thing of parchment" Tala asked confused.

"That's what I wanted to know I mean what's so dangerous about an old thing of parchment so I sent it back to my grandfather to see what he though about it" Kai said as he pulled out his wand and taping the parchment. "I solemnly sware that I am up to no good" Kai said smirking at the expression an Tala's face as ink appeared on the parchment revealing the words.Messrs Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs Purveyors of Aids to Magical Mischief- Makers are proud to present 'The Marauder's Map'. However, the map below the words was of most use to them.

Tala and Kai watched as labelled dots moved along the corridors on the separate floors of the Hogwarts Castle, "Well this is one interesting piece of old parchment" Tala said as he watched Filches cat patrolling the third floor. "Well there's us" Tala said as he pointed to two dots labelled Kai and Tala, "does it pick us up if we are animals?" Tala asked Kai shrugged "only one way to find out" he said.

Tala transformed into his red fox but Kai shook his head "It still picks you up" Kai said as Tala transformed back, "where do they lead to?" Tala said pointing out a few passages leading out of Hogwarts and off the map. Kai shrugged as he looked at the passage leading out from under the whooping willow, "we can take a look at that one next time" Kai said getting up.

"Why not now?" Tala asked, "because I'm in the mood for a run" Kai said pocketing the map before he and Tala transformed and made their way down off the roof and onto the grounds of Hogwarts.

Rei stretched out in the big bed find Kai not there, "Kai?" Rei whispered quietly getting out of bed before leaving the room to check if Kai had gone to the common room but with no luck no one was down there beside the remaining embers of the fire. Rei made his way back up to their room before looking out the window at the clear moonlit night when something caught his attention.

Rei's keen cat like eyes followed to creatures one a wolf another a fox running around playfully in the moonlight on the grounds below. Kai and Tala continued to run around un aware of Rei watching them as the ran in and out of the tree's before heading down to the lake and back up onto the grass.

'Ok I think we should call it a night' Kai heard Tala's voice in the back of his mind as he watched the fox lay down on the grass before moving to join him. After they had caught their breath Tala led the way around the castel as they looked for an easy access to the roof above.

Rei sighed as he saw the fox and wolf leave his view before heading back to bed still confused at where Kai had disappeared to though figured he'd just ask him in the morning. A few minuets after Rei had fallen asleep again Kai swung back in through the window after having said good-bye to Tala once they had made it onto the roof.

That morning Kai woke up surprisingly early after his light night last night looking out the still opened window Kai saw that it was still dark so there was no point in bothering Rei, however instead of going back to bed Kai went up onto the roof to watch the sun rise. Rei woke up alone once more that morning just at the end of the sun rise, "Oh Kai where the hell are you" Rei cried out not respecting the reply he got.

"Here" said Kai as he swung in once more from the roof through the window to greet Rei, "what's up?" he asked as Rei ran up and hugged him, "where have you been, I woke up and you were gone" Rei said looking up at Kai. "Just watching the sunset from the roof" Kai said confused not seeing why it was such a big deal now, "so what you've been up there all night just to wait for the sunset?" Rei asked confused.

"All night, what do you mean by that?" Kai asked as he and Rei went and sat down on their bed, "I woke up alone last night and you weren't here so I went to the common room and you weren't there either" Rei said looking over kais face trying to see what he was thinking. "Oh." said Kai finally realising what Rei was talking about he must of woken up while he was out with Tala.
