Title: Marauder's Map I Rating: PG Word Count: 177 Warnings (if any): Don't think so? Summary: The Making of the Maruader's Map
Padfoot,
I’ve been thinking about maps – before you stop reading (yes, you, Padfoot) this isn’t going to be what you lovingly refer to as one of Moony’s geeky rants; if it works it means that you won’t be getting detention half as often. We’ve always had to limit our pranking times to when we know that teachers, prefects, and students will be elsewhere, which means that our pranking opportunities are limited to mealtimes (and not even that very reliably), when we have a pre-planned distraction, and after curfew (and since only two of us can fit under the invisibility cloak now, even that is difficult). I think that if we charmed a map properly (maybe using a modification of the Hajdutit Miku charm? I know that it’s only meant for one person, but I think that if we used the Tragac rune, we could pull it off), we could set a tracker on all the people in Hogwarts so that they show up on a map.
Moony
PS. I’ve sent copies of this to Prongs and Wormtail.

This is so awesome! This sounds exactly how the infamous map came about!

^ I was thinking the same thing! I love how you have Lupin behind the map... since he was supposedly the goody-goody, but also the brains... it probably was him who designed it.

Thanks! I always thought that Lupin really was in on all the pranks - he was just too smart to get caught.
