bChapter 6: I solemnly swear I am up to no good/b
James was walking through a narrow passageway under his invisibility cloak with a blank piece of parchment in front of him.
"I solemnly swear I am up to no good," he whispered. Lines and dots where forming on the parchment.
"Filch, filch, filch, why do you always try to follow me," He whispered with a sarcastic smile on his face
"You know I am smarter then you, so why even try," he added. His eyes followed a a small dot with the name: Argus Filch attached to it.
"And where is your cat Mrs. Norris Filch?" he asked.
"Ah yes, the owlery, of course birdhaunting," He turned left and walked up a stair watching the little Argus Filch dot walking far behind him. He lifted a carpet up and walked behind him ending in the hall not far from the Gryffindor Common Room.
Slowly he walked toward the portrait of The Fat Lady, he took off the invisibility cloak and muttered the password. The Fat Lady opened one eye and reveiled the passageway to the common room. James walked through it and was greeted by his three friends.
"And how did it go," Sirius asked.
"Great, finally the map is working, misschief managed," he said while aiming his wand at the map.
"That is great news, I already hoped we would succeed before christmas," Remus said.
"Well you're lucky, because tommorow it is Christmas," Peter said also very happy.
"We only have to think of a name," James said.
"That's easy, The Marauders Map" Sirius said.
"Great name Padfoot, great name, now we have to take care of one more thing: Ysinbalraring Puntia" Remus said pointing at the map.
"What did you do?" Peter asked.
"With that spell everyone who tries to read it will get insulted, the only thing we have to do is adding are personal names in the map," Remus said, he levitated the map in the air and urged the other to point their wands at the map.
"I Moony solemnly swear am up to no good,"
"I Padfoot solemnly swear am up to no good,"
"I Prongs solemnly swear am up to no good,"
"I Wormtail solemnly swear am up to no good,"
The map lighted up in red and it felt like a contract that was made. They all felt more connected.
"Now the map is ready, The Marauders are here to stay," Remus said officially.
"Right, but now, let's get too bad because I am deadly tired," James said yawning. The others nodded and they followed him to the dormitories not knowing they were wathed by a girl, a girl with red hair and emerald green eyes, not knowing she let out a soft sigh and walked upstairs to her dormitory and fell on bed cursing to her self.
"I am not in love with James Potter, I am not in love with James Potter, I am not in love with James Potter,"
