The map of the Beast.

// THIS IS AN OLD CHAPTER. THE NEW CHAPTERS ARE IN VOLUME 2. YOU CAN READ THESE CHAPTERS IF YOU WANT SOME INSIGHT ON WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN LATER BUT SOME EVENTS CAN BE DIFFERENT BETWEEN THE OLD AND NEW CHAPTERS.

I'm looking for the Weasley twins because I need the Marauder's Map. Yesterday, Sirius Black managed to break into the Gryffindor dormitory because of the passwords Neville lost. I don't care what Black is doing but I want to see Peter dead, he's one of the main actors in Voldy's return and if he can escape from the castle it would be a disaster.

However, I did not find them even after a full day of walking around the castle, I only have one thing left to do, create a new map.

I rush to the room on requirement, if the marauders were able to create a map during their times at Hogwarts it is because they necessarily obtained the book with the spell here. I pass the door three times wishing I had found this book and the door to the room appears.

The room takes on the appearance of a library as when I used it to examine the books of the reserve, on a display stand the book I am looking for entitled: The mystery of the magic maps and their secrets.

The spell looks very complicated, the larger the map the more paper, ink and power are needed to create it. There were four marauders when they created their map, but they were still young at the time and their powers were not fully developed while my powers already rival Dumbledore's, I should be able to do it on my own. It takes me the rest of the day to memorize and understand the spell and all its implications. The spell is made up of a simple Latin phrase

[And quisque homo habet propositum ad iter, quod in membranis ostendi sumus homunculi]

Which could be translated by: Each person has a goal and a path to take, on a parchment the homunculi are displayed.

According to the book, it is possible to add a password when using the map for the first time. Now that I have gathered all the ingredients thanks to the room on requirement, all that remains is to cast the spell. I spill all the ink I need into a large basin and dip the paper in, then imagine the aesthetic of the map and give it a name, the map of the Beast. To add an additional level of security I think I'll create a parseltongue password.

I recite the incantation and the paper literally drinks the ink before the sheets merge into a gigantic map where I can see all the students and teachers. I search on this one until I find Peter standing still near Hagrid's cabin. I should have guessed that little vermin must have been hiding there to be able to eat pumpkins while remaining a sufficient distance from the castle.

It is already too late to leave the castle, the dementors are prowling near the Forbidden Forest at this hour.

The next day, when I wake up, I see Peter's name very close to the aviary and Sirius's name is not far away. But when I get to the aviary, it is already too late, and they are no longer there. This little game lasts several days, in the morning I hunt Peter then I go to class and I start again as soon as I have free time. It is when I wake up one morning that I see Peter back in his hole near Hagrid's hut and alone that I hasten to act. When I got there, I looked at my card and it didn't budge. This dirty rat is stuffing himself with a pumpkin.

I grab Peter, squeezing hard enough to get the air out of his lungs. He tries to bite me, but I covered my hand with a thick layer of scales. After two minutes, he eventually passed out from the lack of oxygen. I'm not sure but I believe he's still alive.

As I back up holding the rat by the tail, I hear a growl behind my back. When I turn around, I have in front of me a big, extremely dirty black dog, Sirius Black.

His eyes remained focused on the rat, and foam was coming out of his mouth.

"Sirius Black, don't do that, I know that rat is Peter Pettigrew. If you transform back, we can discuss this all calmly. My aunt is Amelia Bones, the Head of the Magical Justice Department. In your place, I would avoid getting me angry, I've already had a pretty bad morning chasing that dirty rat. "

Sirius isn't listening to me his attention is fully focused on Peter; he gets ready to pounce.

"It will be the hard way then."

Black leaps in my direction, only to crash into the emergency shield I just erected. He is so deep in his rage that he attempts to destroy the shield with his claws completely exposing his unprotected belly.

"Stupefix" Sirius is hit hard by my spell and crumbles to the ground motionless. "Impedimenta" And my last spell hinders his movements.

"Well now that you've calmed down, I have a call to make therefore silence. "

I choose my aunt's magic imprint and wait a few seconds before seeing her image appear on the screen.

"Sean what's going on, shouldn't you be in class?"

"No, I'm free this morning. Say, who's your favorite nephew?"

"You are my only nephew, so you are automatically my favorite." Her voice takes on an exasperated tone that shouldn't last.

"Cool, your favorite nephew has prepared a little gift for you that will help you sleep better tonight. What would you say if I gave you Peter Pettigrew and Sirius Black?" I hear several chairs moving on the other side of the magiphone.

"Sean, where are you exactly?"

"Near Hagrid's hut at Hogwarts." Hagrid has just left his house because of the noise caused by my confrontation with Sirius, I see him take his own magiphone, a model made on measure for the semi-giant and ordered by Dumbledore. I give him a little wave to say hello, but the semi-giant doesn't answer me, he must be too busy trying to reach Dumbledore.
