"𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗞𝗦 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗦𝗔𝗩𝗜𝗡𝗚 me yesterday, Cass."

Cassie chuckled. "That's nothing."

Today is a sunny morning, without rain and the slightest cold. A gust of wind caused the surrounding trees to sway.

Cassie and Harry were sitting on a hill with a beautiful forest behind them.

In front of their eyes, they could see the beautiful scenery of Hogwarts.

"Why do the Dementors want you?" Cassie asked with a frown.

"I dont know⎯ maybe because they're Voldemort's creatures."
"Voldemort always wanted me." Harry answered who was looking at the lake.

Cassie just nodded in understanding.

"By the way yesterday when I was up in the sky, I saw⎯ the shadow of a wolf..."

Hearing Harry's words, Cassie turned her head and paid attention to Harry's words.

Harry who sat down with his legs folded in a triangle with his hands on his knees continued.

"Have you ever heard of Werewolves and Animagus?"

Cassie was silent for a moment, then she said.
"⎯ Ever..why?"

Harry turned.
"I've briefly read about both, but I haven't read clearly. You already know about them?"

Harry's question had just confused Cassie. Why did her friend in front of her suddenly ask this kind of question?

"Y-yes..So, Werewolf is a human being who, upon the complete rising of the full moon...becomes a fearsome⎯⎯ and deadly near-wolf."

"Animagus can only turn into an animal, not a human." Cassie continued explaining with her smart brain.

Harry raised his eyebrows in understanding.

Cassie corrected her sitting position and immediately a question popped up in her mind.

"Oh yes, Harry. What were Professor Lupin and you talking about a few days ago?"

Harry chuckled looking down. "Just about my parents."

Cassie smiled at Harry.

Harry took a breath, while his eyes were still looking at the beautiful lake in front of him, and a smile so sweet on his face, he said.

"He said, my character is similar to my father.." He said smiling.

Harry chuckled remembering the conversation back then.
"Professor said my father is so mischievous! but very wise and clever."

Cassie smiled.
"He's just like you, Harry."

Harry glanced at Cassie to his left. "That's what he said." He said with a smile.

Harry then said again with a happy heart.
"As for my face, I look a lot like my mother!"

"Is it true?" Cassie responded with a smile.

Harry nodded, he smiled faintly remembering his mother.

Harry then fell silent, his wide grin slowly fading away.

"I miss them so much..."

Cassie looked down saddened by Harry's feelings. She then looked up with a small smile.

Cassie put her arm around Harry's shoulder.

"Harry, don't be sad. Look.
Me, Hermione, Ron, Professor McGonagall and everyone!"

Cassie sighed and smiled looking at Harry very sincerely.

"We will all be with you, always."

Harry paused, he then turned to Cassie who hugged his shoulder.

"We will all always be here."
Cassie opened her hands and held Harry's chest. "In your heart, Harry..."

Harry smiled at Cassie's words.

Cassie was silent, she froze when her eyes met Harry's beautiful eyes. Cassie closed her mouth and her heart skipped a beat.

Cassie finally thought, was what her brother said about her different feelings for Harry true?

Cassie began to sink into her eye-contact with Harry.

His eyes were so beautiful, those two bright blue eyes always made Cassie melt.

From Harry's eyes, everyone could see that a 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗝𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 is a boy who is kind, brave, smart, poor and...similar to his mother.

"Thanks, Cassie." Harry said softly.

Harry's words of thanks brought Cassie to her senses. She removed her arms from Harry's shoulders and hands from Harry's chest.

Cassie smiled sweetly nodding at Harry.

Harry then took Cassie's head and rested it on his shoulder. Cassie who was now on Harry's shoulder smiled...

"Second day of the Hogsmeade visit! Mind your manners!!" Said one senior from Gryffindor.

That's right, yesterday was the Quidditch match which Gryffindor won. And today, is Hogsmeade second visit.

Still for those who are approved by parents.

Cassie, Ron and Hermione were all set.
For this visit, Cassie wore a long pink sweater with gray pants.

Also with a headset of bright white fur that covered her ears because it was snowing outside.

"Where's Harry?"

"I don't know, wasn't he with you?"

"Maybe he's in the room?" Cut Hermione who was wearing a red hat.

Cassie blew. "But we haven't said goodbye yet."

"Cassie, I'm sure he will understand." Answered Ron who was wearing an abstract colored shirt.

"Yeah, let's go." Invite Hermione to walk first and finally followed by Cassie and Ron together.

On the other hand, apparently Harry was behind the large round clock at Hogwarts, he was behind a large window.

Harry had been watching his three friends with a sad face before going to Hogsmeade without him.

One thing came to his mind. Harry smiled proudly. "Lets do it."

Moments later, after Harry had picked up a Wizarding Cloak his father had given him for his first Christmas year, he slipped the red robe on before stepping out.

After he put on the Invisibility Cloak, he walked out the door of Hogwarts.

If he donned the Invisibility Cloak, then his body would disappear unseen. He decided to use the cloak to secretly follow his friend to Hogsmeade.

But unfortunately, after he stepped on the snow that covered the Hogwarts grounds, he made a trail of shoes.

The Weasley twins, namely Fred Weasley and George Weasley, were nosy.

They looked at each other as if telepathic to each other then laughed.

As Harry's footprints loomed past Fred and George they used instinct to pick up an invisible Harry.

Harry gasped.
"Hey! Get off me!"

Fred and George lifting Harry's arms answered.

"Shut up, little boy."

"We have something for you!"

"Let me go!!"

Fred and George finally let go of their grips. The twins put Harry in an open room near the stairs.

Fred appeared to be removing Harry's Invisibility Cloak.

Harry who was caught looked annoyed. "What are you doing?!"

"Shhh, shut up, Potter!" Cut George.

George looked around then scooped something out of his pocket.
After successfully taking, George gave it to Harry.

Harry looked at the object that Fred and George had given him.

It was made of rectangular paper, when he opened it, it turned out that there was nothing inside.

Harry looked up at the two brothers.
"What trash is this?!" asked Harry harshly.

"Haha, trash he said. This is the key to our success." Fred replied.

"The key to our great success! It's actually sad to give this to you."

"But we felt you needed it more so we gave it to you. George, if you will."

George smiled crookedly back at Fred.
He closed the paper that Harry opened earlier then swung his magic wand over the blank paper.

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

From the different spell George had cast on the blank paper, a red ink had appeared.

Harry read the writing.
"Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs⎯"
"⎯ Proudly presenting the
Marauders Map."

"We owe a great debt to them who made this fantastic map." George said.

Harry then opened the paper.

He was a little surprised because now inside it looks the names of a place as well as footprints that are walking around.

"Wait a minute. This is Hogwarts!"

Then his eyes were fixed on the footprints that were pacing back and forth with a name on the soles of the feet.

"Wait, is that really.."

"Dumbledore."

"Back and forth."

"In his office. He always does that."

Harry felt confused, he then asked to make sure. "Does this thing show everyone?"

"Everyone."

"Wherever they are!"

"Whatever they do."

"Every day."

"Every minute."

Answered the twins Fred and George in unison.

Harry grinned widely. "Brilliant! Where did you get this?"

Fred in front of him answered.
"Stealing from Mr. Filch's office, of course. In the first year."

"All right, listen." George said putting on his warm hat.
"There are seven secret passages to exit the castle, and we recommend..."

"This one."
"This one." Fred and George said simultaneously pointing to a place on the Marauders map.

Harry looked at the indicated spot.
Fred explained.

"The one-eyed witch's tunnel. It will lead you straight to Honeydukes' cellar."

"Better hurry, Filch is on his way." He continued pointing to the footprints with Filch's name on the map.

Now it was George's turn to explain happily.
"Then Harry, when you're done using it don't forget to tap on the map and say⎯"

"Mischief managed." George said tapping the magic map with his wand.

"Otherwise, anyone can read it." Fred explained to Harry who had been interested in paying attention to his explanation.

Now Harry was happy. Because with the fantastic map of the Marauders, he can catch up with his friends to Hogsmeade.
