BAN- Hey readers. To all those who actually read this, I'm sorry it has taken so long to get it up. But I think you're going t like this chapter, and the next one even more. This chapter takes place on the last day of school before Christmas break, and it's one of my favorite parts of Sam's adventures. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Uh, I own Sam and Adrian, Prongs owns Amanda, and Padfoot owns Josie. J.K. owns the rest.

Chp.9- The Mappy Thing!

The next month and a half flew by. Soon everyone would be leaving for Christmas break. Amanda, Josie, and Sam were all staying for Christmas; Josie didn't want to have to see her father any more than she had to now that she was in Hogwarts, and Sam ands Amanda needed to help keep Josie's anger at bay. It was the day before Christmas break, and the three were doing last minute studying for an exam they had in Potions as they readied for the day.

'Grr,' thought Sam as she brushed her teeth and read the Potions book. 'Springs a test on us last minute. Sometimes I wish I could...'

Sam's thoughts were interrupted by Amanda.

"Hurry up, Sam, I'm hungry!" Amanda called through the door.

"Just a minute!" Sam yelled back after spitting.

As Sam was finishing gargling with mouthwash, Amanda burst through the door.

"You lied, Sam! It's been more than a minute!"

"Okay, one, haven't you ever heard of knocking! And two, you actually counted?"

"What, you always count! I wanted to mock you for once! Plus, I'm HUNGRY!" Amanda defended.

"Whatever," Sam shrugged, "Let's just go eat."

They rushed downstairs so that they would be on time to breakfast. If they were late, well, ley's just say Amanda would not let Sam forget it. They were down in the Entrance Hall when they heard voices coming out of an empty classroom. The two, being very curious by nature went to go check it out. They soundlessly opened the door.

They heard a voice say, "I solemnly swear I am up to no good."

The girls glanced at each other, interested.

"Looks like, hey!" another voice started.

"Looks like we're caught, Sam. What are you guys doing in here?" Amanda questioned the two voices, whom they discovered were the Weasley twins.

"Uh... nothing," Fred blurted out as they heard George whisper, "Mischief managed."

"Yeah, right," Sam remarked skeptically, "that's why George just, erm, 'turned off' (finger quotes here) that Mappy thing of the entire school and all the people in it."

The twins gaped at her.

"How'd you know it does that?" Fred asked.

"Don't know, don't care, just want a copy," Sam told them.

"What's in it for us?" George asked, suspicious of their aims.

"We won't turn you in for having a confiscated map that can be used to sneak out of the school."

The twins now stared at Amanda.

"How... how'd you know we got it from the confiscated file?"

"As Sam said, don't know, don't care, just want a copy," Amanda simply stated.

"Well, you see, there's a problem with that," George nervously laughed, "We kind of don't know how to copy it."

"Oh, don't worry about that, we'll do it. Just meet us back here tomorrow before breakfast and we'll give you your copy back."

"How do we know we can trust you?"

"Oh Mr. Filch," Sam said in a sing-song voice.

"Okay, okay, but if you don't give it back by this time tomorrow..." Fred started.

"Yeah, yeah, what-ev," Sam took the map.

"Come on, I'm hungry," Amanda pulled Sam out of the room.

With that, Amanda and Sam took off for the Great Hall to show Josie their finding, and to eat.

(A/N- Time change here)

Later that day the trio of girls and Matt Mulder looked at the map. Having Matt there came with many protests from Josie and Amanda, but Sam allowed him to stay.

"I solemnly swear I am up to no good," Sam said, tapping the map.

Instantly words appeared:

Messrs. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs

Purveyors of Aids to Magical Mischief-Makers

Are proud to present

The Marauder's Map

"Hey, we should have nicknames like that!" Matt exclaimed.

"For once, you've got a good idea, Matt. I call Prongs!" Amanda shouted.

"Ow, not so loud. I guess I'll be Padfoot," Josie said, sounding a little excited for once.

"Moony sounds like the intellectual one, so I call Moony!" Sam said.

"Oh, great, I get the pathetic name Wormtail!" Matt complained.

"Totally fits ya, Wormtail!" Amanda laughed hysterically at him.

"Shut up, Prongs!" Wormtail yelled at her.

"We should call ourselves the New Marauders!" Sam interjected.

"They did want to aid mischief makers... we can do that," Prongs grinned mischievously.

"Okay, now we've got to copy this," Sam said, getting serious.

"Erm, Moony?"

"What, Prongs?"

"Uh, how exactly do we copy this?"

"Well that's easy! Erm, uh... shoot, I can't remember the spell!"

"Wow! That's a first! You actually can't remember something?" Wormtail snickered.

"Oh, shut up, Wormtail!" Moony was about to attack him before Josie interrupted.

"Give it here!" Padfoot rolled her eyes.

"Copius Farenté!" she pronounced carefully.

Immediately a new copy appeared. The New Marauders stared at it.

"Let's make sure it works," Sam said quickly.

"I solemnly swear I am up to no good!" Amanda tapped the new map with her wand.

The map's lines flooded all over the parchment. They smiled.

"Let's make some mischief!" Prongs grinned mischievously again, "And I know just how to do it..."

A/N- So what did you think? I'd have to say, it's pretty long, but if it's still not long enough, make sure you tell me! Yeah, and the Marauder's Map part, it was supposed to be in script, but it doesn't work, so oh well. I bet you can't wait to see what Amanda's planning, huh? Well, that chapter will be up soon, so you won't have to wait long. As always, Read and Review! The buttons right there. You know you want to press it. Come on, PRESS IT ALREADY! Good day to you all.
