"Can I call you Tori? You know Tori, I'm a great friend."
"I don't get it, why are you being nice to me?"
"Maybe I don't want to see you friendless."

"WE DID IT! WE DID IT! WE DID IT! WE DID IT! WE DID IT! WE DID IT! WE DID IT!"
Fred came running into Ginny's room, where Tori was packing her trunk. Ginny handed her a shirt and looked at her brother. "Did what, exactly?"
"Never mind. We need to borrow Tori for a moment, bye!" Fred grabbed Tori's hand and yanked her out of the room and down the hall, causing her almost to crash into everything.
Fred yanked Tori into his room and shut the door. George was standing over their desk, a wide smile visible even from the back.
"What is going on?" Tori finally asked once she could get a word out. "Tori, remember that time we played a prank of Filch?"
Tori rolled her eyes. "Can you be more specific?" Fred tapped his foot rather impatiently. "Um... we set dungbombs off in the hallway?"
Tori then nodded, recalling the event. "Well, we were in his office and found something." George turned to look at her.
"A cabinet labeled 'Confiscated and Highly Dangerous'" Fred continued, Tori knew they'd start switching sentences off soon.
"So obviously, we wanted to know what was in there."
"So George went and set off another dungbom and I got in there and we found this piece of paper." Fred gestured to the blank page sitting on their desk.
"We tried everything, Homenum Revelio, Aparecium, like everything."
"But then the map started talking to us. Well, more like writing. It was giving us clues to how to open it."
"What?" Tori shook her head, not believing what they were saying.
"We cracked the code this morning! And it works!" Fred shook her excitedly. He grabbed his wand and looked at the map.
"You're doing magic outside of school?" Tori looked at him with wide eyes, but Fred shook his head. "Not technically. Just watch."
Tori stood over his shoulder as he cleared his throat. "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." He then pointed his wand on the page and something slowly began to form.
Tori watched in shock as a pretty detailed outline of Hogwarts appeared before her eyes. "Messrs Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs. Purveyors of Aids to Magical Mischief-Makers are proud to present, THE MARAUDER'S MAP!"
Slowly, names and footprints appeared too. "No... Is this?"
"Real? We think so." George looked at his twin, pointing to all sorts of passageways. "Once we get back, we're heading for these areas."
"We're going to see if any of these passages are real." Fred agreed. Tori could already tell this was going to be all used for pranking. Then she looked at the twins with an eyebrow raised.
