We looked to where we heard the footsteps coming from and saw Malfoy. Hermione gasped and whispered, "What is he doing out of bed again?"
"Mr. Malfoy." Said Dumbledore
"Yes Professor."
"What are you doing out of bed?"
"Well I was trying to find Potter, Granger, Evans, and the Weasley's."
"That's what I thought. You will have a weeks worth of detention with Mr. Filtch."
"Professor," Malfoy whined.
Harry leaned over and whispered in my ear, "His dad is a Death Eater and he will be one most likely."
"What Mr. Malfoy."
"I already have detention with McGonagoll all week."
"That's Professor McGonagoll. Okay then all weekend."
"But I have homework."
"You haven't had any classes yet Mr. Malfoy, how do you know that you will have homework?"
"I, don't really know I guess." Said Malfoy quietly.
"Okay then, now that we have that settled. You will clean the trophy room."
"Oh that's not hard."
"Without magic, Mr. Malfoy."
"Without magic, you have got to be kidding me."
At that Ron laughed, a bit louder than was safe and Hermione stomped on his foot to make him be quiet, but it was to late. Malfoy turned and said "who's there? I know you are there Potter and that you are with that Mudblood."
Harry gasped and Malfoy walked over to where they were hiding. "Professor, Harry Potter and his friends are wandering around out here. I swear."
At that Dumbledore blew up "Mr. Malfoy, 150 points from Slytherin, and as well as the weekend of detention you have the next week also."
"But-"
"You have know right to be out wandering the halls at this hour, and this is the second time you have been out tonight."
"I was with Professor Snape the first time."
"I don't care, and you especially have know right to call anyone a Mudblood. To their face or behind their back. Got it?'
"Yes Professor."
"Very well, get back to your dormitory and make sure that you meet Mr. Filtch after breakfast on Saturday."
"Yes."
"Get back to bed now!"
At that Malfoy walked away. As soon as he was gone we continued back to the common room. At the portrait of the Fat Lady Ginny said "Gimberwash." The Fat Lady didn't open the portrait hole. "Gimberwash" said Ginny a bit louder. Then Dumbledore stepped in a said "Gimberwash." The Fat Lady opened one eye and said, "I am not letting you in, you were out wandering the corridors, you will have to wait out here and then in the morning when I wake up come in."
"You will let this students in." said Dumbledore.
"You can't make me, who do you think you are."
"I am the Headmaster of this school and you will open the portrait hole, or you will be taken down, and put in a dark corner in the dungeon, where nobody walks by."
"Okay, sorry, I didn't know you where standing there, sorry Professor Dumbledore." Then the painting swung open. "This is where I leave you. I don't want to see you wandering out at night again, or will get a detention." Then he turned and walked away, but I swear he winked at Harry and I.
We all walked through the portrait hole and were in the common room. "Good night" said Hermione and she headed up the girl's staircase. Ginny and I turned to Ron and Harry and said, goodnight, and then we turned to walk up the staircase. Then we heard Ron say "Goodnight Ginny, goodnight, Evans, or should I say Potter." Then I heard Harry say "goodnight sis."
Ginny and I continued up the staircase, and into the girls dormitories. We went in the door that said 1st years and found 2 other girls fast asleep. We changed out of our school robes and into PJ's, then climbed into bed. "Goodnight, Ginny." I said.
"Goodnight Gina."
I laid in bed for ever before I went to sleep. I think it was about 3:25 before I fell asleep. Ginny had been asleep and hour before. Finally I went to sleep. I woke up at 10:00. Usually term would have started today, but because September 1st was a Friday we had the weekend before we started class.
Ginny finally woke up and then she and I went down to the Great Hall to have breakfast. We walked into the Great Hall and sat down beside Hermione, Ron and Harry. Ron said, "So now that we are all friends I think we need a name for our group."
"Sort of like the Marauders" I said getting excited.
"I love that idea." Said Harry.
"What should we call ourselves?"
"I don't know said Hermione." She turned to Ginny, "any ideas Ginny?"
"No, I am terrible with thinking up names."
"Me to said Hermione."
"Well it will come to us eventually." I said.
Ron then said, "I was thinking how you were saying about how much fun, your parents, and their friends had, while being at Hogwarts an being Marauders, and I wanted to have as much fun as they had."
"I agree," said Harry.
"If we are going to be a group we need to have a meeting area." I said. "Dumbledore left us the Marauders Map, and if there is a secret room, it will be on that, because our parents made that map, and they knew every secret room and passage in the castle."
"Good idea Gina." Said Ginny. "Let's go and get the map and meet in the Room of Requirement."
"Sure, see you in a few minutes." I said.
Harry and I ran out of the Great Hall and up to the Common Room. I ran up to the girls dormitory and grabbed the map and then raced back down to the common room. Harry was sitting on the couch and then we ran back down to the Room of Requirement. We walked back and forth in front of the door 3 times and then the door knob appeared. I grabbed the door knob and turned it and we walked into the Room. It was the same room that we had been in only a few hours before. Ginny, Hermione and Ron were already sitting on the couches. "You got it?" Hermione said.
"Yes."
Harry and I sat down and I pointed my wand at the map and said "I solemnly swear I am up to no good." The map opened and we saw everyone that was inside the castle and the grounds. We saw Dumbledore sitting in his office and Ms. Norris walking in the Entrance Hall. We all started to scan the map for a room that we didn't know about. Finally Ginny spotted something. "Here she said, see, right beside Charms classroom. Do you see it?"
"Yes" we all said.
"Let's go see if it's really there or if it just a mistake on the map." Said Ron.
"Oh, it won't be a mistake on the map." I said, "This map never and mean NEVER lies."
"Wow Gina, calm down." Said Harry, "Lets go look."
So we grabbed our stuff and headed up to the Charms Department. We arrived in front of the charms classroom and then we looked to the left of the charms classroom and saw nothing out of the ordinary. Well the only thing out of the ordinary was there was nothing on the wall. We looked closer and then we spotted it, it was at about shoulder height. It was a hole in the wall. It was really tiny, only about 1 cm wide. Hermione put her finger in the hole and pulled. A door appeared and we opened it. We walked inside and saw-
A/N I still need suggestions for a name for the group, Please review and tell your suggestions. Thanks.
