Remus got up from his perch on the end of his bed. "Well, as long as we can't finish this stuff until tomorrow night," he looked over a bit repulsivly at the cauldren, "I suggest a good ol' marauder meeting!"
"Great idea!," cried Sirius, claping James and Peter on the back. "A great way to relieve stress, eh James?"
"Sure," mumbled James, tossing a cloth over the cauldren for its 24 hour cooling period.
"Ok," began Remus, "I had this idea. I'm sick of always wondering whos around the corner when pulling a prank-"
"Which by the way," Sirius broke in, "is what I want to bring up."
Remus cleared his throught. "As I was saying, we need a map that can tell us where everyone is. Check this out." he pulled out a folded piece of parchment, pointed his wand at it, said the marauder's oath, (which is now the name we give the phrase "i solemly sware i am up to no good.") and suddenly a map of the entire school appeared. there were also little dots moving around in the drawn-in halls. Each was labled with a name. There was "Valdwig" and "Snape" and "Jazzerous" and that new guy, "Dumbledore". There were also various dots labled "Ravenclaw", "Hufflepuff", (sp?) "Griffendor", and "Slytherine".
"Woah, wicked," breathed Peter in awe.
"I know," said Remus, once again quite proud of his work.
"So, we can carry this around and always know where everyone is," James said, turning to Remus.
"Exactly," confirmed Remus. "But one last thing."
"What's that?" asked Sirius.
"I need a little bit of each or your thoughts," Remus said, pulling out his wand.
"Ahh! No! I like my brain," cried Peter, clutching his head.
"It won't hurt, you pansey," scolded Remus, prodding his wand at Peter's forehead.
Peter closed his eyes shut, and felt the small poke or Remus' wand on his head. He opened his eyes a minuet later to find Rem,us smiling, a small silver thread hanging from the tip of his wand.
The silver string was then placed on the map, and it was absorbed instantly.
"Now, did that hurt?" asked Remus.
"Only when you jabbed your wand into my forehead," complained Peter, rubbing the spot where he was poked.
"James, your turn." Remus did the same to James, then to Sirius, and then to himself.
"What was the point of that?" questioned Sirius, rubbing his head. "To try and jab my brains out?"
"No," Remus shot at him. "When some one unauthorized tries to read the map, they will recieve a very strange message from each of us."
"We should test it!" exclaimed James, finally being lifted from his stressed state.
"Yeah, but on who..." Sirius rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"Hey! That new teacher! Dumbledore!" cried James with renewed entusiasim.
Remus sighed with relief at James, who was no longer concentrated on his bed-srticken Lilly, but on this new and improved prank. Peter joined in the sigh, knowing that for the time, James was no longer sore at him.
