Brill again.  Loved this line:

"Done. Three weeks. I've been in that ward more recently than you have."

"Cheers, Fred."

"I'm George."

Hahaha. Great job; but when do we solve the mystery of this renegade? or is he?

Oooo, someone's got into the Marauder's Map! That isn't too good, is it?

Great story so far, Gridley! I bow to your greatness of fanfics!

Generally, when someone has a map that shows every detail of your most secure strongpoint, that's bad, yes. :-)

Greatness of fanfics...? You have read some of the other stories on this site, right?

Oh come now, this one hardly qualifies as evil.

Well, compared to some of my previous cliffies, anyway.

Well, its a bit dodgy I admit. But I ask myself - how did the twins figure out what the activation/deactivation words were? OK, for them "I solemnly swear I am up to no good" is probably a normal, everyday phrase, but still...

The only interaction we have to go on in cannon is Snape's; and we know the Marauders... disliked... Snape.

Ah...another fine chapter, Gridley.  And I promise, I won't eat you as your beta.

And for your readers, never fear, his beta is in as much of the dark about who the mystery person is at the end as you are.

Ooo! Even better than the last! I loved the passing refernce to Ginny catching her cursebreaking brother out with the post! Put me out of my misery and tell me what she did to him.

You write the brothers well. I always enjoy seeing the siblings chaff each other. I'm a bit bothered (all right, a lot bothered) by this wizard who's got his hands on the marauders map. I'm guessing he's not on the side of light.

And I agree with your A/n wholeheartedly. My pre-betas made me laugh and think, and the changes improved the whole.

Woooo an update!!  Excellent chapter Gridley, I especially loved this bit:

Face facts, lad. Just about any Death Eater you meet is going to be better at dueling than you are.

So completely Mad-Eye. Your characterisations continue to be superb, and Harry and Ginny's relationship is developing really nicely. Good job!

Looking forward to more

Very good!!! Although I 'm wondering who has their hands on that map.... I bet t's one of the people that modified Dean's memory..meaning someone from the drak side....hmmmm... you really know how to build suspense! And I have a small question, the before last chapter of the first fic of this "series", shall we say, who was Ginny talking to, I would have said Harry's dad, but he doesn't have brown hair...unless i mis-read...and what did Ginny mean by her not being real? I know that it's been a long time since that, but I'm juyst curious. Back to this story(lol) I'm very happy that Ginny woke up, and how she woke up! Harry just can't keep away from her, can he? *sigh* so cut, just like Sleeping Beautylol Update as soon as you can!! PLEASE!!

Ah. Well, the person Ginny has the talk with is me. That should clear things up a bit.

Yes, who has the Map. That is the question, isn't it?

Loved Harry turning red enough he could catch fire when DD walked in on him, too funny

Charlie needs to lighten up or Ginny is going to tell him exactly what's what.  Does he give her an overriding opinion on his lovelife?

I'm guessing the person trying to access the map was Snape?  Very funny there at the end.

Charlie is having Big Brother issues. Fear not, my interpretation of Ginny does not include a lack of backbone. :-)

It could be Snape. It could be many other people. I ain't telling yet. ;-)

And see? I managed to put in Sirius AND Lupin despite the fact that they're both dead.
