Yeah! Here's the new chapter!
________________________________________________________________________________________
As soon as I placed the bracelet in front of the twins, they started looking at it curiously and confused.
"Is this... bracelet... a map?" Fred asked dubiously. And George, who had the bracelet in hand, was also looking skeptically at the simple accessory.
"Uhmm" I nodded, "I know you guys are skeptical about the bracelet. But I can end all your doubts with a demonstration of what it can do," I said, taking the bracelet from George's hand.
I then placed it on my wrist and it automatically closed, and after that it scanned me and recognized my magic, and immediately attached itself tightly to my arm, glowing slightly blue before returning to normal, with the only difference being the stone in the middle it was no longer black and opaque, but silver and shiny.
The twins, who saw this happen, looked at the bracelet in surprise and wonder. But that wasn't the end of the surprises.
"Noctis" I said my activation phrase, which basically means 'Night' in Latin, and even though I knew the code wasn't necessary for me I still used it.
The stone then glowed green, which meant it was just waiting for my next command. I then took a fresh scroll from my bag, and leaning the stone against it I said, "Map of Hogwarts!" and the parchment began to gain in detail, turning into a Hogwarts map like the Marauder's Map.
"Tadah!" I said, gesturing with the map to the twins, who gaped at the bracelet and the map.
"What!?" George blurted out, taking the parchment from my hands, "This... is just like Marauder's Map, only with a lot more detail!" he exclaimed.
"How?!" Fred asked, as amazed as his brother.
"Creator's secret" I said with a proud smile. And my answer made the twins even more curious, but they didn't insist anymore.
"This is amazing..." George said, tracing the parchment with his fingers.
"But that's just the beginning," I said with a mysterious smile.
"ATLAS, look for Professor McGonagall," I said to the bracelet. And immediately the map in the boys' hands began to change, and a few seconds later it zoomed in on Professor McGonagall's name in her office with Madame Pomfrey.
"Wow!"
"Fuck, that's cool..."
"I know, right?" I said satisfied. My face then took on a serious look, "But unfortunately this bracelet is not for you guys..."
And as soon as I said that, the twins looked at me in surprise before getting a sad and disappointed look. But my next sentence made them incredibly happy.
"And that's because this bracelet is mine... And it would be better if everyone had their own"
I then reached into my bag and pulled out two more bracelets which were in red and gold color, which were the twins' favorite colors, and that's obviously not because they're from Gryffindor... Pfft.
"Those are your bracelets," I said with an amused and proud smile.
Of course, obviously their bracelet doesn't have all the functions mine does. But they don't need to know that.
"Really?! Did you make one of these for each of us?" Fred asked excitedly, to which I nodded, handing them the bracelets.
"But don't tell or show anyone the bracelets... At least not yet" I said seriously, "If you need to show someone, use Marauder's Map"
""Okay"" they said, looking at me in one of their rare moments of seriousness.
"Oh, and here's Marauder's Map" I handed the old parchment to Fred, who tucked it in his pocket.
"So…how do they work?" George asked me, holding the bracelet like it was his most prized possession.
"First put the bracelet on your wrists," I said, and they immediately did. After that I put the tip of my wand on George's bracelet, "Noctis. New owner" I said, and the stone on his bracelet started flashing green, before stopping to pure white. So I did the same with Fred's bracelet.
"Now you have to place the tip of your wand on the stone in the center, say your name, and your nickname as one of the Three Musketeers. And then when it turns blue you will say the activation phrase you want to use" I finished instructing them.
"Fred Weasley, Sparkle" Fred said, wand on the stone, which turned blue after a few seconds, "Hmm, a code?" he started to think with his hand on his chin.
"I know! My activation code is going to be... Pranks above one," he said.
"Well...I guess now it's my turn" George said. He then took his wand and placed it on the stone, "George Weasley, Twinkle. And my password will be... Pranks above all."
'Looks like they really liked the Three Musketeers tale' I thought, 'And now I'm disappointed that I didn't think of a code to match theirs.'
Their stone then glowed blue slightly, then changed to green, before finally returning to normal.
"Good. That means the bracelet is in sync and now it's yours" I said, nodding, "And now, I'm going to have to teach you how to wear the bracelet and what it's for"
"Uhum" they nodded their heads. And then I started to explain to them all the functions of ATLAS, doing demonstrations and guiding them as they tried to use it themselves.

Another Day - Free Time
'This book is a joke' I thought, frowning at the book in my hand.
I was lying on one of the common room sofas, reading a book on Defense Against the Dark Arts, which talked about black magic and how bad it is.
And I thought this book was shitty, because whoever wrote it had a very narrow view of magic and its intent. He said that black magic is any magic that mortally wounds someone, and that if a wizard uses it, he is immediately evil.
'I don't mean to be biased, but it was probably a Gryffindor who wrote this' I thought, and checking the back of the book which had a short biography of the author I saw that I was right.
'Damn Gryffindors'
"Night" I then heard Hillton, the captain of the Ravenclaw team, call me.
"Yes?" I asked, placing the book on my lap.
"As our match against Hufflepuff is coming up, we will be doing light training on Friday. So make sure you are rested for training, which will be in the morning.," he told me.
"Are you sure? Our game will be on Saturday. This training will not harm our body for the match" I questioned.
"It's just going to be light training to train the team synchronization and passes" Hillton reassured me.
"Um, okay" I nodded my head.
Hillton then turned to leave, but when he reached the common room walkway, he stopped and turned to me again, "And don't get into any trouble…again" he said, and then walked away.
"He spoke like I always got in trouble," I commented. And Alysson, who was sitting in front of the fireplace talking to her friends, heard what I said and turned to me.
"Don't pay too much attention to Hillton, he must be delusional, Alright? Mr. Ethan 'I defeat trolls' Night" she said sarcastically, and as someone completely mature and calm, I did what anyone would do in my situation... Which was show my tongue out at her.
"I don't look for trouble, they find me" I shrugged.
"Yes, I believe it," she said dryly.
"Good. That means I trained you well" I said jokingly. And Alysson started to stare at me with a gleam in her eyes that didn't bother me at all.
I then turned and went back to my book, hand to chin in thought.
'I don't look for problems... Right?'
End.

(End AN: I would like to ask you if you found Ethan's ATLAS map exaggerated.
I know it's pretty wow, but if you think about it, there are so many wow items in the world of Harry Potter, like Marauder's Map, that make ATLAS acceptable, I think.
But don't worry too much about ATLAS, it's obviously going to be used, but it's not going to be much of a story point. He's just a tool to help Ethan.
Hope you enjoyed the chapters!)
