A half hour later, Lani and her friends were in the Gryffindor common room staring at the blank peice of parchment and note that said, "I solemnly swear I am up to no good."
"I don't understand it," Anna said impatiently. "Why would your father give you a blank peice of parchment and a note that says 'I solemnly swear I am up to no good.' does he want you to be up to no good?" She glared at the parchment.
"I dunno," Lani shook her head defeatedly, "But we have to go to stupid dention with Snape in three hours, and I have two essays due tommorrow ..."
"I know, me too..." Eliza said, tapping her wand idly on the spare peice of parchment. "I solemnly swear I am up to no good? It makes no sense-"
"Eliza!" Will gasped, pointing to the parchment. Everyone looked at the parchment with awe and amazement as letters and shapes rapidly began to form on the parchment.
"How did that happen? What did I do?" Eliza was excited. Anna and Will both went to look at the parchment at the same time and bumped heads. They glared at each other for a minute before Anna turned to Lani instead.
"What is this?"
Lani looked at the parchment in amazement. "It looks like ... a map! Look, it says 'Marauder's Map'... Marauders? Why did my dad have this?"
"Dunno," said Anna and Will at the same time. They glared at each other again.
Eliza shrugged her shoulders. I don't know either, but we're going to be late for detention with Snape if we wait too much longer. How do we make this thing blank again?" Nobody knew. They settled with just putting it away in the girls' dorm and went off to detention.
I am soooooooo sorry again about how long this took. I actually finished this part about a week ago, but I wanted to add more. I figured though that I might as well get this out to you guys now and finish the other part later.
Once again, I apologise. I should be getting these out much quicker now that I've finished taking finals.
Thanks a million to all of my faithful reviewers again. You guys rock!
