The Marauders—James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter—are huddled in the Gryffindor common room, plotting their latest scheme when you walk in. Sirius grins. “Here she comes, our favorite acrobat.”

“What are you lot up to now?” you ask, arms crossed.

“Enhancing the invisibility cloak,” James says with a smirk.

Remus sighs. “He means sneaking into the Restricted Section.”

You laugh. “You’ll never get past Filch’s cat without help.”

“Are you volunteering?” Sirius teases.

“Depends—what’s in it for me?”

“A week free of pranks,” James offers.

“Two weeks,” you counter.

Soon, you’re sneaking through the castle under the cloak. Spotting Mrs. Norris, you nimbly somersault over a banister and cling to the rafters. Sirius stares in awe. “Blimey, remind me never to mess with her.”

Remus chuckles. “She’s one of us now.”
