Chapter 5
HPOV
I wake up really early on Friday morning feeling at peace knowing that I am finally home; Hogwarts has always been my home. Something comes over me and I suddenly feel like I need a walk, quickly I grab my invisibility cloak and rummage around in my trunk until I find the Marauder's map.
Quietly I open the portrait hole and step out into the corridor then opening the map I check that I won't bump into anyone then make my way onto the grounds outside the castle. Finding a rock I sit down facing the lake then I get out the map, studying it. I notice something odd I didn't notice before; the Cullens are out of bed just the Cullens not their friends either. I realize then that I didn't remember Edward being in bed, looking back at the map I frown and look at my name then back again. All the Cullens names were in a maroon colour not black like everyone else.
I then realized why I didn't notice then before it was because they had come from the forbidden forest 'what were they doing in the forbidden forest' I wondered. I could hear them then talking and laughing quickly among themselves as they made their way back up to the castle. I saw Bella kiss Edward and lick something red that was running down his chin from his lips.
"There is a thunderstorm tonight" I hear Alice say to the rest of them
"Yes!" Emmett mutters "teams?"
"We chose tonight" Alice declares looking into the distance.
"I'll tell Jake, I'm sure they will want to play" Bella says
"If they can catch, throw and bat then that's fine" Rosalie says and Bella glares at her.
As they walk past me they all stiffen as through they realize something before making their way up to the castle leaving me with a whole lot of questions. Like what were they doing out here, why were they in the forbidden forest, why was their names maroon on the map, what did Alice mean when she said there was going to be a thunderstorm tonight and how did she know and also what did Rosalie mean when she said that comment.
After a time I made my way back to the Gryffindor common room and back up into my bed just looking at the map wondering why the Cullen's names were in maroon. I noticed something I didn't notice before that Renesmee's name was a darker shade of maroon then the others, almost unnoticeable if you didn't look close enough.
I make my way to the Great Hall for breakfast and sit next to Ron and Hermione who are talking to Renesmee. I notice then that Bella and Edward are not at the table and I ask "Where are Edward and Bella?"
"Oh they are going camping with the rest of my family, I didn't want to go" she replies
"Oh ok" I acknowledge her while wondering why they would go camping and also the fact that I had seen them this morning. I let in go deciding to go to the library later today to see what I could find if there was anything.
The day passed quickly until we reached double potions, the first potion lesson of the year where Snape was extra mean and I lost 120 house points all up. Finally the bell rang for the end of class and school for the day so I made my way to the library. I could see the Library teacher glaring at Renesmee for some reason; it was not uncommon for her to do so her glare just seemed deeper for some reason.
I wondered round looking at titles of books trying to find one that would suit what I was looking for, after about 2 hours the library was almost empty I found something, a book right at the end of the shelf covered with dust and writing laced in gold. I took it off the shelf, putting it down on the table. I wiped my hand on the cover to clear the dust sending it everywhere to read the title 'To Read a Map you must know What you're Looking at'. I opened the cover to the first page, the contents page, quickly picking one I opened the book to the said page and started reading. I read through the whole chapter and came up with nothing and was about to close the book when I noticed small writing at the bottom of the page it said 'If a map contains the knowledge of a person on the map and said person was not in the colour black then that person is not human'. My mind went blank except for one thing
'What in Merlin's name were they'?
Enjoy, and please Review
Also for anyone that wants to know from the last chapter 'Punga' means fight in Latin.
