In the morning the maraudettes woke up excited for the flying lessons later that day. They were up and in the great hall in record time. They ate with gusto and were done by the time the marauders entered the hall. They sat down across from them. " Are you okay, Brendan, you look a bit sick, you should go to madam pomfrey." said Roxy.
Brendan was the most sensible and smart marauder. He claimed he was fine but the other marauders knew he was keeping something from them. Violet knew as well. So did Jess but they all kept their silence.
Class was completely normal until flying lessons arrived. After the uneventful lessons it was evident that Soph and Violet were natural left dinner in a good mood grateful nothing strange had happened. Then they remembered the Marauders Map. They went back to the dormitories to get it and opened it with ease. The girls decided to go to the kitchens since it was not near curfew yet. They got there and were greeted by a group of all too familiar boys.
'' Well, well, well if it isnt the Mother Willow and her birds, and look they have the map." exclaimed Fred. The rest of the boys except Brendan who was absent, smirked.
Jess cleared the map and said "I have no idea what you are talking found this on the ground outside of the kitchens. " she said innocently.
James walked up and took it from her, " Well than thank you for picking it up." he said grinning at Violet, who had her eyebrows raised. "You have very pretty eyes" he said, addressing Violet. She rolled her blue eyes.
"You are welcome to join us" said Fred gesturing to the empty seats at the table they were sitting at. Violet wondered out loud what the elfish creatures were.
"Those are house elves they do their masters bidding." said James. Violet looked horrified and looked at the creatures with curiosity " Dont they get paid ?" she asked.
Fred through his head back and laughed. " Leave it to you to ask a question like that" said James and then they left but not before James smiled and waved looking directly at Violet whose hair was beginning to turn red.

"Wow, I wonder how they got the map!" said Jackson, in awe. "The mother willow and her flock look like scary goddesses when they're mad." he exclaimed while the others nodded looking slightly lost.
Weeks passed full of pranks and before they knew it it was a week till Christmas holidays.
