Trouble Helps You Make Friends

Noah threw his arms around both of his friend's shoulders smiling, "I think we should have some fun lads. We've been studying hard enough."

Tyler rolled his eyes playfully, "I haven't seen you open a book."

Noah huffed, "well you have an it was exhausting watching you."

James nodded in agreement. "I'd say you need a break Tyler. If not I guess I'll have to show just Noah this cool map my father gave me for 'educational purposes'."

Tyler sighed, "I guess if it's for educational purposes I must also take a look at it."

Noah and James chuckled pulling Tyler to their dorm. Tyler giggled running up the stairs after them.

They sat down on Noah's bed since it received the best lighting. James pulled out what looked to be an empty parchment. Tyler raised an eyebrow, "wow very cool map."

James smirked, "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."

His friends stared with wide eyes as the Ink started showing up forming the map and as the footprints moved around. "this map stays between us three, got it?" his friends nodded immediately. "this is a map of the whole school, all the secret passages, new and old, and where everyone is at all times."

Noah flipped through the parchment, "this is going to help us pull some pranks."

Tyler nodded excitedly, "no one will ever see us coming."

The three boys went around exploring the secrets that the map had for them.

Noah accidentally stepped on Tyler's foot while crossing a small passage. Tyler yelped, James glared at his friends to be quiet. Tyler looked offended, "he stepped on me."

Noah frowned, "sorry, its a bit dark and tight in here."

Tyler huffed, "Don't do it again."

James shushed them as he continued leading through the dark tunnel. He couldn't really see the map (they haven't been taught lumos), he was just hoping it would be good like the last couple of tunnels.

He got out and closed the door immediately after so if he was caught his friends would be fine.

He looked around realising he was in the girls restroom after he accidentally scared a first year.

The hufflepuf girl screaming before falling back on her bum. James ran to her aide trying to help her stand up.

He heard a door open, he already knew he was in trouble but he had to help this girl up first. When he did then he looked back to see who had entered, it was the Head Girl.

"You two are coming with me to McGonagall's office." The older Ravenclaw student spoke sternly.

James looked the the hufflepufs then back at the head girl, "I think it would be better if we go to the hospital wing so she can get checked out. I'm sure the headmistress will be alright with coming down so she doesn't have to go up and down the stairs."

The head girl tried her hardest to keep a straight face but James could see she wanted to smile.

They walked to the hospital wing, both of them helping the hufflepuf who was limping.

McGonagall showed up rather quickly as Madam Pomfrey finished talking to the hufflepuf student. James felt his heart race knowing his punishment was about to be announced.

The head girl told McGonagall everything she knew. McGonagall gave her a small smile, "I'll take it from here Poppy."

The head girl nodded before leaving. McGonagall turned to the other two students. "What is your version of the story James?"

James shifted in his seat, "well I -"

"I was walking with James Headmistress. Told him I needed to use the loo quickly so I went in. I must have lost my balance somehow and so I fell. James came in to help me after hearing me scream."

James nodded quickly agreeing to this lie, "that's when the head girl came in and saw us."

McGonagall nodded slowly, "well I will still have to take points off for going into the girls restrooms James. If this ever happens again it's best to get a nearby girl to help your friend."

James nodded, "I'll do that Headmistress."

McGonagall smiled at them and left. James turned to the hufflepuf student, "thank you for that. I'm James."

The girl smiled, "I'm Amelia. Now tell me how you actually got there."

James quickly tried to explain he found a tunnel and followed it. Amelia chuckled, "well be careful with secret tunnels James."

They continued talking for a bit until she was good to go. James's friends ran up to him asking how it went. James grinned saying everything was good before presenting Amelia to them.

Tyler waved shyly at her. Noah on the other hand gave her a lopsided smile before throwing his arm around her shoulders, "what do you think of doing a little mischief?"

Amelia lit up, "I think this school could use a bit more of it. Keep things interesting."

Noah nodded in agreement, "You're perfect for our team. We plan on doing just that."

"I'll gladly help."
