Trying to get out of the Slytherin common room was harder than I thought. Right as we were about to step into it, someone can through the wall into the common room. Andromeda, Remus, and I quickly hid behind a tapestry, careful not to make any noise as we listened to the people.

"He's angry with you Regulus. You let the blood traitor get away from us, you had one job to do."

My jaw dropped and Andromeda shoved a hand over my mouth so they wouldn't hear me. 

It was Lucius and Regulas, but who was mad with Reg?

"I know that Lucius, it's not my fault Kelsey is stubborn. You know she won't come willingly and I didn't want to push any of this on her in the first place. Now that the Dark Lord knows her and that Lupin's fellows' prophecy and he will stop at nothing until they're both dead." He sneered at Lucius.

I felt like dying. which is probably what everyone wanted right now. Remus looked confused as ever and I keep forgetting about that stupid letter Slughorn gave me for us both.

Remus looked at me and I gave him a look that said I would tell him later. 

Regulas was working for the he-who-shall-not-be-named. My best friend was a Death Eater.

I looked at Andromeda and she looked close to tears, but now Remus had a black expression.

"What about Narcissa's, plan?" Lucius asked.

"I don't think she's asked yet. According to her, Kelsey has been MIA recently." Regulus responded.

I covered my mouth with my hand to stop myself from sobbing out loud, and luckily we were behind a fairly large tapestry. Remus grabbed me and pulled me into his arms and I started to cry silently into his chest.

"Kelsey?" Andromeda asked me after I had calmed down. 

I looked up at her, Remus was looked out from the behind the tapestry.

"We've got to go now, they left." She was being stung too after finding out her cousin was a Death Eater and her little sister is dating one too.

"Right," I wiped my eyes. "Let's go."

We quickly left the Slytherin dormitories and hurried up the hallways to the entrance hall where we looked both ways and I saw Remus take something out from his hoodie pocket.

"What's that?" I asked him and he smirked.

"You'll love this." I took his wand and put it on the over and whispered.

"I Solemnly Swear That I'm Up to No Good."

Writing started to show up on the front of it and I read it.

"Messrs Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs are proud to present, The Marauder's Map?" I looked at him and he opened it.

My eyes widened, this map showed all of Hogwarts.

"Here we are." He showed us.

"We've got to get here, there's a secret tunnel that'll lead us to Hogsmeade." He showed us, and Andromeda and I nodded in understanding.

"We've got to watch out for Filch though," he pointed to him. 

Filch was in the area by the Transfiguration classroom, a hallway down from where we have to go.
