The marauders map

The hall was full of Students, gathering with their wands raised, for Rowan Khanna. Many people shed tears, Tonks, Penny, Jacob's sibling, even Cedric in her point of view. She was utterly clueless, this was all so sudden.

Their wand was raised after Dumbledore's speech. Her death was all of sudden that no one looked like they could believe their eyes someone died.

The next thing she knew, she felt a cat's fur on her face, "Leo!" She groaned at Leo who was purring at her to wake her up. Ella was still mad at Leo, but what does Leo care? He's a cat.

"Morning, sunshine~" Seraphina jumped around the dormitory with her arm wide, the sun wasn't even up but she was smelling like a fresh flower from the forest. Her smile didn't show any tiring look.

"Ugh! What time is it?" Her roommate, Genevieve asked. Her head rose from her pillow.

"4 A.M." Everyone groaned, Genevieve dropped her head back on her pillow, her face sunk in it. Valgora harshly pulled the cover above her head. Amanda doesn't even move, she's sleeping soundly and peacefully.

Ella took her pillow, pushing it into her face to scream but she have no energy to do so, she just left the pillow on her face, covering her eyes from the brightness Seraphina had just turned on the light.

Seraphina let out a giggle. "Kidding! It's almost breakfast time, Hurry! Chop chop, get up before I hexed you!"

Ella stared blankly at the floor. 'Thank goodness it was just a dream.' She thought.

Time skipped, more students were getting petrified until today, Madam Pomfrey was also petrified. The last person she talked to was Cedric.

Cedric had a panic attack when he was questioned by Professor Dumbledore, Snape, Penny Haywood, and Jacob's siblings.

Ella, who was in the library, was tutored by the one and only a friend of Tonks. The person is very clever, and patient towards Ella when she was explained many times. Soon, she left the library to the Hogwarts ground. On her way, she was suddenly dragged by the Weasley twin.

"Uh...what are you doing?" Ella asked, letting herself be dragged by the twins. Before she could repeat her question, she caught them with a sly grin.

The twin dragged her to an empty classroom with a paper in their hand, then they suddenly thrust the paper in her hand. "What's this?" Ella said, examining the parchment paper.

"See for yourself!" Fred gave George a mischievous rin.

Ella checked the paper. Nothing, "There's literally nothing in here." Her eyebrows frowned, "Is this supposed to be a joke?"

George took out his wand and tapped it on the paper, "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."

Words began to slowly appear on the parchment paper, "What.." she breathed.

The Twin smirked at each other while Ella was being confused.

' Moony, Wormtail,

Padfoot and Prongs '

"Marauders map?" She raised and eyebrows, giving a questioning look to the twin but they just nodded with a smile. "It's a map, it shows everyone in the castle."

"We stole it from flinch's office." The twin snickers.

Ella's mouth fell when she saw the name Tonks, walking into the Defence Against The Dark Arts class. "Why are you showing me this?" she gave them the map back to the twin. "You barely even know me. Aren't you worried if I would tell Professor about it?"

"Would you go tell professor, Essie?" Fred asked. Ella frowned again at the unfamiliar name. "Essie?"

"We'll call you that from now on, 'Ickle Essie."

"We thought you could use a bit of cheering. Let's go on an adventure?" Fred said with a grin.

Fred and George linked their arm at her, about to drag her outside the classroom, but Ella use her heel to stop, hesitating to move with them, "What if I say no."

"Oh Essie, we didn't ask for your opinion. You're coming with us." George grinned. Ella sighed in defeat, letting herself be dragged again.

The three first-year students ran to the ground, carefully not being suspicious, and walk their way to the Whomping Willow.

"You're saying, that hole takes you somewhere?" Ella asked, pointing at the Willow tree. "Yes."

Ella gawked at them, "It's the Whomping Willow. It could get you thrown before you could even blink."

The twin shrugged and took out their wand, "Immobulus." The tree froze. "Or you can do that." Ella bit her lips with her eyes widened for not thinking about what they did.

They got closer to the frozen tree, peeking inside the hole, "After you." The twin said in sync making her confused. "Ladies first."

"Wha-" before she could finish her words, the twin pushed her down the hole.

"Oi!" They shouted at her but she didn't answer. "Did we kill her by any chance?"

It was quiet until they heard a noise, "Damn you, Weasley!" They sigh in relief when they heard Ella saying she's fine, "I'm fine! Merlin's beard, Weasley!"

The two red-headed boys slide down from the hole, there was an underground passage. "Where does this lead to?" They cast "Lumos" and kept walking until they were outside.

"Blimey, that's the Shrieking Shack!" they gasped.

Ella gave them another question looked "The one has rumors about it's haunted? Woah!" Tonks once told her about the Shrieking Shack was haunted.

"What are you two waiting for? Let's check it out!" Fred ran towards the Shrieking Shack. Without hesitation, Ella joined him, running towards the abandoned house.

George knocked on the door, earning a smack in the head by Fred, "What? Who knows someone might still live here." Ella laughs at their idiotic behavior.

"The door is locked, try the unlocking spell!" Both George and Ella turned their head to Fred, telling him to unlock the door but failed. "Let me try!" George pushed him away and tried as well but failed.

They let out a heavy sigh and a disappointed expression. "Let's head back before someone reported us missing." The twin groaned loudly but turned back and turned around, walking back inside the dark passage.

"Where have you been?" Genevieve crossed her arm, glaring at Ella after she walks into the dormitory. Ella had an annoyed expression but it didn't really show. "Nowhere." She replied as she hopped on her bed.

Genevieve gave a disgusted look and scoffed. "Don't bother her, she might be crying over her parents somewhere." another girl said to Genevieve with her hand placed on Genevieve's shoulder.

"I saw her with the Weasley twin, you're just going to cause a problem and lose our house points that we worked so hard for!"

Ella's eyes watered, can't they leave her alone. "Be quiet, Gen!" Seraphina enters the dormitory, "You're causing a scene here, stop it."

"Anyway, we should go to the Great Hall, dinner time is near."

Amanda jumped off her bed and linked her arms with Genevieve, "Let's go and find a sit!" Dragging her away from the room.

"We should go to, Ella. Ignore what they say." Seraphina said before leaving the dormitory, and waiting for her outside in the common room.

"Don't give me that look, Leo. I'm still pissed at you." She snapped at the ginger cat.

Instead of hissing, the cat meowed and stared at her as she sigh and stood up from her bed. On her way to the Great Hall with Seraphina.
