On Halloween night, though, Sirius Black had entered the castle and slashed the Fat Lady. The whole school had been in an uproar. After that they had gotten a new portrait for awhile, Sir Cadogen.
On the last Hogsmeade visit of the term, Calleigh offered again and said the same she had before. She got the same response as well. Calleigh seemed hurt, and decided to follow him for awhile at the least. It wasn't long before he had encountered Fred and George who decided to give him a blank piece of paper.
"Hey, Calleigh come here. You can Harry can go together!" Fred yelled.
She reluctantly went over to see what the fuss was about. George was holding a blank piece of paper that seemed excessively large.
"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."
And at once, thin ink lines began to spread like a spider's web from the poin that George's wand had touched. They joined each other, they crisscrossed, they fanned into every corner of the parchment; then words began to blossom across the top, great, curly green words that proclaimed:
Messrs. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs Purveyors of Aids to Magical Mischief-Makers are proud to present The Marauder's Map.
The map showed every detail of the Hogwarts castle and grounds. The truly remarkable thing were the tiny ink dots moving around it, each labeled with a name in minuscule writing. They pointed out all of the secret passages to them, and told them which ones they should use.
"Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs," sighed George, patting the heading of the map. "We owe them so much. And don't forget to wipe it once you are done. All you do is tap it again and say mischief managed."
Immediately after the names had been said, Calleigh felt her necklace warm up. There were some memories that involved those four. She really wanted to see what they were.
"Are you coming Calleigh?" asked Harry.
"No thanks Harry. I – um have some other work I would like to do," she stuttered distractedly.
What Calleigh didn't know is that Harry would have his own little adventure while in Hogsmeade while she had one of her own up in her dormitory.
Once she got away from most of the younger kids she was able to sent down and concentrate. She didn't know how long they would take, so she decided to do each on separately incase they took too long.
In moments she was brought into Hogwarts only it was about eighteen years ago. Her breath caught when she saw her mother over on a bed right beside hers. She was beautiful and looked to be only a few grades above her.
"So have you seen Black's latest prank, Em?"
"I know, it is so stupid, Lily. Those four really need to grow up. But what are we going to do?"
Once Calleigh got up, she knew this was going to be fairly long and detailed because she could move around. She eventually decided that she would see if she could find her father. She went down the stairs and out into the courtyard. What she hadn't realized was that it was night and a full moon.
As she went she saw Madame Pomfrey guide a young Remus Lupin towards the Weeping Willow, and some peculiar people in an invisible cloak were following. Once Madame Pomfrey had left, they transformed into their Animagus.
"Hurry up Wormtail, Moony is probably dieing without us," Sirius snapped at a tiny little rat that looked a lot like scabbers.
"I am hurrying. Why don't you turn Padfoot then and see if you can do it any faster?" squeaked a distraught rat, who she could only guess to be Peter Pettigrew.
"Just be quite you two. Otherwise we might cause suspicion," snapped James.
