Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs, a group of keenly libertine students and chums, exchanged furtive glances as they used the Marauder's Map to escape the banal castle during lectures. They knew nobody in the group was perfidious enough to use their loquaciousness to reveal the latent workings of the map. For that reason, the Marauder's Map remains until today an impervious creation. For the rest of us Muggles and non-groupies, it is a hapless thing that we cannot utilize its wonders.
