When James, Sirius, Remus, Peter, Lily, Alice, Mary, and Marlene woke up, they were in the hospital wing. All of them were heavily bandaged from the duel with the Death Eaters. James and Sirius were temporarily paralyzed from the Cruciatus Curses. Madame Pomfrey told them that all of them had at least 5 broken bones including fractured skulls. James and Sirius also had severe internal and external scarring as well as nerve and muscle tissue damage.
Madame Pomfrey gave all of them but James and Sirius Skele-Grow to help repair their bones. She wouldn't give it to James and Sirius, saying that it would only make the internal damage worse than it already was. In the next few hours, everybody but James and Sirius had been cleared to leave, but they decided to stay with the two of them.
"Why can't we just go?", asked James, who had recovered from his paralysis and was sitting up.
"If you want to die the second you take one step, be my guest", said Madame Pomfrey
James silently cast a few charms on himself that would heal the muscle tissue instantly and start on his nerves. He managed to stand up and walk around the Hospital Wing without much pain.
"Happy?", he asked Madame Pomfrey
"You still have to rest for another hour before I can allow you to leave"
"Fine. Wormtail, Moony, you coming?", he asked, jumping onto his bed and taking the Marauders Map out of his pocket.
The other two sat next to him and they started updating the map more.
"You know how it's charmed to insult you if you don't know the phrase, like Mr. Prongs bids you a good day and hopes you aren't mistaken for the hippogriff they're after", asked Peter
"Yeah"
"Well, what if we changed it so it has specifically bad insults for Snivellus"
"Wormtail, that is the best idea you've ever head", said James
A few charms and taps of the wand later, the Marauders were ready to test the new insults.
"I Severus Snape, command you to reveal your secret", said Peter
Mr. Moony advises you that you stop sticking your abnormally large, greasy nose out of other people's business
Mr. Wormtail bids you aa good day and advises you to wash your hair, the grease ball
Mr. Padfoot congratulates you on becoming the most idiotic, slimy, Slytherin ever
Mr. Prongs acknowledges his astonishment that someone like you could even be a wizard
The three Marauders burst out in laughter, causing the others to look at them.
"What's so funny?"
"Nothing"
The Marauders returned to the map and changed it so it showed the direction people were going in, not just showing their names. They also added a charm that displayed Messers. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs are proud to present the Marauders' Map.
"Can the two of us go now?", asked Sirius, who had just walked around the hospital wing twice eto show he was just fine
"Alright, you may go, but if the pain comes back.."
"We know, come here immediately.", said James
The 8 of them walked out of the hospital wing.
"Alright, we've got to see Dumbledore now", said James
Everyone looked at each other, all having forgotten about their meeting with Dumbledore. They sprinted off, hoping they could catch him before curfew.
