Chapter 16

November 10th 1988

Hogwarts

As they entered November the weather turned very mountains around the school became icy gray and the lake like chilled steel and every morning the ground was covered in frost.

Harry and Daphne where currently sitting against a tree by the lake.

They had decided to get in some physical training by running around the lake together for a little bit.

It was exhausting but rewarding nonetheless.

Harry was now reading a book that Master Dao had given him about various elemental control techniques.

He had warned Harry not to try those until he had fully mastered Martial Arts.

Reading the list of techniques Harry realized that it wouldnt be a good idea to try any of those like Master Dao had said until he learned Martial Arts fully.

Looking up Harry saw off in the distance two distinctive red heads.

It was the Weasley twins.

Perfect.

The two first years had already been getting a bit of a reputation for being pranksters.

And Harry wanted their insight against some Slytherins.

"Hey Daph"Harry said "I want to go talk with the Weasley Brothers about something"He said.

Daphne looked puzzled but nodded nonetheless.

Running up he was able to catch Fred and George.

"Hey"Harry said "How are you two doing today" noticing that they where carrying a few pieces of parchment.

"Why its the Slytherin Potter"One of the twins said "What can we do for you"

"What are you looking at"Harry asked looking at one of the parchment in particular.

It couldnt be.

One of the twins noticed Harry looking at the parchment.

"See something you like"He asked "We just nabbed this from Fliches office and not fully sure what it does".

"Can i have a look"Harry asked.

The twins gave the piece of parchment to Harry who when examining it realized what it was.

Harry hadent been with the Potters for some time but he had a Eidetic Memory one of the things that he vividly remembered being talked about was the Mauraders Map.

Could this be it.

"How much"He asked.

The twins looked surprised and one of them shrugged.

"A sickle"Was the reply.

Harry hurriedly took a sickle out of his pocket and gave it to the twins

Score.

"Say you two are getting a bit of a pranking reputation"Harry said "How many ready made ideas do you have right now".

The twins looked at Harry and then shrugged before showing him one of their pieces of paper.

"Wow"Harry said looking at the twins' projects "That's a lot of stuff".

One of the twins nodded.

"Most of this is just in the developmental stage"He said "Weve been planning this stuff for a while".

Harry nodded "Well nice to meet your acquaintance"He said "I'm Harry".

"Fred""George"They said "Nice to make your acquaintance to Mr Potter"Before they had to hurry off to go somewhere else.

Turning back towards Daphne Harry looked at the parchment.

He thought back to his time of living with the Potters and after a few seconds was able to remember the activation code.

"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good".

Gasping Harry saw as the map started to open up.

He had heard about the Mauraders Map before but he had never seen it before and did not know what it was.

And what a beauty it was.

An Interactive map of Hogwarts.

He hurried back to the tree to show Daphne what he got.

She was just as excited as he was as they looked at all the possibilities.

"And this was made by your dad and his friends"Daphne asked.

Harry nodded showing their insignias.

"Look"Daphne said pointing to a area.

Harry read the text.

A passage lies beneath a one-eyed witch statue by the stairs to the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, leading to the cellar of Honeydukes. Tapping the hump with a wand and speaking aloud the word Dissendium to the witch made the hump on the statue open just wide enough for a small person to slide down to the hidden passageway. No password is needed to be needed to return to the school

A passage lays behind a mirror on the fourth floor that leeds to Hogsmeade

A passage beneath the Whomping Willow, leading to the Shrieking Shack.

A passage lays behind the statue of Gregory the Smarmy.

Three unspecified secret passages, apparently known to Argus Filch.

"Secret passages"Daphne said excitedly "Do you think that we can find them".

Harry shrugged "And if they're still usable"He said "James Potter and his friends graduated from Hogwarts more than a decade ago".

"Can we go try and find them though"Daphne asked.

"Sure"Harry replied "But not today we need to finish up our Transfiguration assignment for Monday".

Daphne nodded.

"How do you close that?"She asked.

Harry put his wand to the paper and spoke firmly.

"Mischif Managed".

SCENE CHANGE
Harry and Daphne were sitting and eating dinner.

"Harry," came a somewhat familiar voice.

Harry looked up to see Edmund Spiers was standing across from him. The boy even though they had gone across on the Great Lake boat hadn't said five words to Harry since the first day and Harry was now confused by his sudden appearance.

"Yes, Spiers?"

"I was wondering if you would meet up with me before dinner tonight," his eyes rested on Daphne before adding, "alone."

Daphne was staring at the boy with a cold frown and a very suspicious glare along with a lot of skepticism.

"Why is that ?" asked Daphne icily.

Spiers ruffled his collar. "It's private, Greengrass."

Daphne snorted, "Not if you're going to hex him or beat him up like Fawley did!"

"I'm not going to hex or do anything to him like Fawley did," protested Spiers. He sounded insulted at the barb to his character and at who he was being compared to.

"Okay, I'll do it, how about after potions?" injected Harry before the two could argue further. He was cautious but also curious of why Edmund wanted to talk to him suddenly remembering that he is not a Pureblood. He looked to see that Daphne seemed to believe this course of action was ilogical but did not protest his decision.

Edmund immediately relaxed and sent Harry a grateful nod. "After potions then," He left without another word.

"What are you doing, Harry?" hissed Daphne, deciding to protest his decision once Spiers had left. "You can't seriously be that foolish to trust him,this could have been arranged."

Harry looked at his best friend who looked serious in her assumption. "You mean he's setting me up?"

"It's possible," said Daphne darkly.

"Who could be working with,he doesn't seem to like Fawley," commented Harry. "I'm going to meet with Spiers," Harry said, seeing that Daphne wanted to protest, he pressed on. "I won't judge him on pure speculation or suspicion besides he seems to not be a part of the Pureblood circles and i want to see what he has to say.."

Daphne muttered something under her breath that sounded like Hufflepuff would be proud.

Though Daphne didint agree with his decision she didn't stop him when potions class finally ended and he was packing up his things and preparing to meet with Spiers.

"Be safe Harry"Daphne whispered giving him a hug.

Harry smiled. "Dont worry Daph im a lot more prepared for anything than i was with Fawley" He said and left the classroom to see Edmund was waiting. He gave Harry a curt nod and motioned him to follow and Harry did.

The two first year Slytherins silently walked through the dungeon corridors before reaching the entrance hall where other students were filing into the Great Hall. Spiers led Harry down another corridor away from everyone else…

"Spiers, where are we going?" asked a suspicious Harry. Daphnes warnings were at the forefront of his mind.

"I need to talk to you," he said over his shoulder, "In private."

"Why?" Harry wasn't going to accept that vague answer. Not when they could've ducked into any number of empty classrooms.

"I need to show you something," Spiers clarified after a few seconds of silence.

"Show me something?" repeated a confused Harry.

"Yes," Spiers said tersely. He stopped outside a door and peered around to make sure the two were alone before he opened the door and gestured to Harry to go inside.

Cautiously, Harry put his hand in his pocket to tighten his grip on his wand when he stepped in but there was no need. There were no other Slytherins waiting to ambush him.

The classroom was abandoned. It looked like the room hadn't been used in a very long time. The desks were pushed against the far side of the wall but what caught Harry's attention was a towering mirror that was positioned in the middle of the classroom.

Confused, he turned back to Speirs to see he had closed the door. The boy motioned Harry to go to the mirror, his face expressionless.

Harry stepped closer to the mirror. He noticed the mirror's ornate golden frame. It stood on two clawed feet. He curiously looked up to see an inscription at the top of the mirror but he couldn't understand the gibberish that was written so he turned his eyes to the mirror itself. Harry nearly toppled backwards at what he saw in the mirror.

The mirror was not only reflecting him but the faces of many other people and standing in the middle of the crowd of friendly faces was who looked to be an older version of himself who was waving. He was taller, and more filled out, Harry noticed the mirror version was holding something wrapped in blankets when tiny hands were exposed and reaching out at Harry's older self.

Another person stepped forward this one a woman

"Impossible," breathed Harry turning around to see that he was alone with Spiers in the room who had a knowing smirk with his arms crossed but he didn't speak.

"Pretty impressive, isn't?"

Harry numbly nodded. His eyes still transfixed on the mirror.

"I found this a few weeks ago," Spiers began. "When I figured out how it worked, I thought you would want to see it."

Harry looked at the mirror "How does it work?"

"It shows us what we desire," Spiers said bluntly "I was curious of what you see".

"I see many people"Harry said "I'm not sure who they are but i look a lot older and more mature".

Spiers nodded "I see a group that I'm in and you're the leader off"He said.

Harry was shocked "Whay do you mean"He asked.

"Our world is broken Potter"Spiers said "I think you can agree with that".

Harry nodded.

Only a few months of actively living in the Wizarding World showed that to be enough.

"It doesnt have to be that way though people can change and you're a good instigator for that change"Spiers said "Your little spat with Fawley is still being talked about ''.

Harry scowled at that reminder.

Spiers saw Harrys reaction.

"For a lot of the older students it's interesting though"He said "In your first week you stood up to a Sicon of one of the Sacred Twenty Eight and won along with your closeness with the Greengrass heir and your stellar grades make you a noteworthy first year".

"That's good and all"Harry said "And I agree with you that the system is broken but what do you mean by change".

"First changing the reputation of Slytherin'Spiers said "And that others".

"I dont know"Harry said "That seems difficult".

"I want to work with you though"Spiers said "Change only comes by working together"holding out his hand.

Looking at his hand Harry decided to shake.

"To a good relationship"Spiers said.

"To a good relationship"Harry replied.
