After a War ((Old Copy))

Chapter 14 Book 1

After A War

"So you fake blew up the great hall?" Hermione asked.

"Not fake, the thing is in shreds but, it was impossible for anyone to get hurt." Fred said. He and George were leaning against the sinks. They could easily be told apart now that one was floating lightly and was much more pale.

"Why though?" Harry asked. "Why blow up the great hall? It cant just to be to mess up the prefects bathroom can it?"

"Obviously not. I wanted all the kids here to have a delightful year at Hogwarts with the mysterious prankster always on the loose." Fred said, making hand gestures as though he was imagining wanted posters with question marks, trying to figure out who he was.

"We found you easy enough." Ginny said. She was leaning against the sinks on the left side of Fred.

"Others can do It just as easy." Draco said.

"Then me and George can go back to pranking the schools unmasked." Fred said, turning to George. They both smirked and looked at Harry.

"Where's the map?" George asked slyly.

"Marauders map?" Draco asked.

"Yup. We'll be needing it to stay out of the hands of the teachers." Fred said.

"Wait." Hermione said quietly, she looked at Harry. "If Fred is a ghost, what about the others?"

"We can look around." Draco said, hopeful. Anyone would want to right their wrongs and while he cant bring people back from the dead, he could always find their ghosts and try to help them.

"Where would we look?" Neville asked.

"In the forbidden forest of course." Luna said.

"Why?" Harry asked.

"That's where lost souls roam when they've lost their way. They may not know the way back to Hogwarts, you brought them out into the forest in the first place though. Fred came back in the castle because he died in the castle but you brought Lupin and Tonks into the woods. Therefore, they're still there." Luna explained. Everyone stared at her.

"Since when is everyone as smart as me?" Hermione asked, aggravated. She walked to the door and opened it. She usually was glad to have people learning and beating her wit but it was horrible. It seemed like she hadn't studied in years. She walked through the open door.

"I have a good guess where the map is." She mumbled. The three Weasley's followed her but the other remained in the prefects bathroom.

"And where is that?" Fred asked.

"In Dumbledore's office, McGonagall put all magical items in his office for reminders." Hermione said as she turned a hall. They waited for the stairs to turn to the way they need and climbed them silently. Probably because of the threatening needle in Hermione's voice. They reached the area and entered. It was a beautiful room. Just as Harry had described it. Hermione hadn't gone to the professors office much. Nobody did nowadays. Fred and George searched the left side of the room while Ginny and Hermione searched the rest.

Scene jump, usually I stay in the area that Hermione's in but I thought of something fun... Enjoy :)

Ron followed Harry into the room of requirement.

"So what do we require?" Ron joked.

"A lock, a key, and a Malfoy." Harry said. Ron sat in one of the chairs. Harry smirked and opened a door. Draco walked in and looked at Ron.

"You didn't tell me I was going to my death!" Draco yelled.

"You have to talk to him." Harry said. He walked out of the room. Ron shot out of his chair immediately once Harry was out of view. He made to punch Draco. The Slytherin walked back a few feet hoping to dodge the fiery reds punch. Ron punched an invisible wall and fell back.
