The first page of the map Folded up like an accordion, it looks like the Marauder's map, but instead of the castle of Hogwarts, you recognize your house.

There are more folds underneath. >unfold map You unfold the left and right sides of the Map and see... The second page of the map The map shows what appears to be the grounds around the house.
