Chapter 268 Marauder's Map

"Maybe the students should let each other see who's acting weirder?" Hagrid suggested.

"No." Professor McGonagall looked serious. "We can't let the students know about this, so that they will fall into an atmosphere of mutual suspicion. This will have an extremely dangerous impact on the school's atmosphere."

Professor McGonagall is the vice-principal. He usually manages all the operations of the school, and he always thinks from a longer-term perspective than ordinary people. Her face was stern, and Hagrid flinched in fright.

Hagrid had no choice but to mutter, "It was originally divided into four colleges, so that's what happened."

Professor McGonagall shook his head, "Hagrid, this has a deep meaning."

Well, Hagrid spread his hands, indicating that he had no other ideas.

McGonagall turned to look at the principal, "Professor Dumbledore, does our school castle have measures to disable all magic, similar to Gringotts' underground tunnel fountain."

Old Deng nodded, "Of course, Hogwarts Castle took this into consideration when it was established, but this is not a good way. When magic fails, it will have too much impact on everything. All potions, herbs , plants, pets, everything. If not impossible, I don't want the castle to enable this feature."

He tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and asked Snape, "Is it possible to quickly concoct the Visibility Potion."

Snape hesitated for a moment, "The revealing potion for Polyjuice Potion will take at least a month. This kind of medicine is more complicated than Polyjuice Potion."

Lupine raised his hand. Seeing everyone looking over, he hesitated for a while, and finally said, "I made a map with James, Sirius, and Peter before, on which you can see the names and locations of everyone in the castle. .”

Oh, it was really hard for Lupine to break the news, he didn't want Dumbledore to know how many violations of school rules they had done, so that Dumbledore would disappoint him.

But now this Death Eater hiding in the school has seriously threatened Harry's life, and even that of all the students.

No one knows what that Death Eater will do.

"We left it at school at the time, hoping to give it to our juniors... well, a little reference." Lupine smiled a little shyly.

So here comes the question, let alone whether this map is really as powerful as Lupine said, the question is where is it now?

It was Anton who raised his hand.

Anton raised his hand again.

"I know that its current owners are George and Fred. You can ask them to borrow it for a while." Anton pronounced the words "owner" and "borrowed" with accents.

Dumbledore raised his eyebrows, "Yes."

...

"Merlin's beard!" George and Fred looked at each other, and looked at Lupine with an extremely respectful look. "Professor Lupine, did you really make this?"

Lupine smiled slightly, "Oh, Harry Potter's father, James Potter, contributed the most, and many of the things you do now are also very powerful."

This is simply a kind of inheritance. The older generation of Hogwarts inventors stood side by side with the newer generation of inventors. The expressions of Professor McGonagall, Flitwick and other professors became much gentler.

No matter how naughty these people are when they are studying, these are outstanding students who have come out of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Of course, not everyone thinks that way.

Snape looked at the foursome he hated before and the two Gryffindor naughty ghosts he hated now, his face stinks.

Thinking about it this way, the Marauder's Map, which seems to have been handed down for two generations, is not a good thing.

really.

With a flick of Fred's wand, "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good!"

Ha~ listen! Listen to the bad spell!

Snape tilted his head with a sneer, and saw a map of Hogwarts appearing on the blank paper, with countless names appearing on it.

And beside him, in addition to a few people at the scene, there was also a unique name - Jillian Nicklaus.

Gillian?

Snape glanced at the woman in his seat, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

There is even a name, and it is such an outrageous name.

Gillian is the name of a potion ingredient, a unique sunny fungus that grows on forest rotting wood.

Dumbledore stared at the map with interest, waved his wand lightly and pointed at himself, "Do not plot!"

With a flash of magic, his name disappeared from the map.

"This is really interesting. Hogwarts itself already has an unplotable spell. Logically speaking, it cannot appear on any map. Obviously, the Marauder's map can run with the help of the castle's own spell. A high-end alchemy prop that fits a spell..."

Dumbledore looked at Lupine with a complicated expression, "It was really right to let you participate in the war back then..."

"Dumbledore!" Lupine interrupted him, with sadness and complexity in his eyes, "It's all destiny."

"..."

Anton also came up, staring at the map, looking for the trace of Ron's mouse.

Peter Pettigrew, who betrayed the Potters, used Animagus to hide in the Weasley family, a loyal member of the Order of the Phoenix.

Why can't they go across the ocean to live in other places?

Do you have to be a mouse and eat rat food every day?

If you really wanted to be a mouse, it would be extremely stupid to choose the Weasleys.

Anton didn't quite understand the brain circuit of this guy.

Not on the map.

No Death Eater's name, no Pettigrew's name, and no editor-in-chief's name.

Or it just happens to hide somewhere that won't be drawn, like the Room of Requirement. Or some kind of invisibility spell with a no-mapping spell, of which there are too many.

"The most likely thing is that he's not in the castle right now." Lupine's wand tapped, and the lines on the map disappeared, leaving only the name.

All the names are swimming on the paper like tadpoles, the professors and teachers are in a column, and the names of the students are classified according to the four colleges.

In the end, there are only some strange names left.

Like Filch's Mrs. Norris.

"Half of the students' names are not on the map." Lupine smiled and pointed out the window. A fierce confrontation was taking place on the Quidditch pitch in the distance, and there were bursts of exclamations from the audience.

Professor McGonagall's complexion changed, and he stood up, "I think I have to watch."

Professor Sprout followed closely, "I'll go with you."

Professor Flitwick also jumped down from his chair, "I think I'll have to check the secret passages."

Professor Snape thought for a while, "I'll be with you so that we can take care of you."

Professor Flitwick laughed, "I think you should have other things to do."

The corners of Snape's eyes twitched, and he looked back at the werewolf. Outside the door, there was a woman's snickering, and it was unclear whether it was McGonagall or Sprout.

"!!!".

Lao Si clenched his fists and glared at Anton angrily, only to find that the kid had already slipped away.

Lupine's eyes were filled with narrow eyes, he folded the map and put it in Fred's hands, "Maybe I'll borrow it from you sometime."

Then, he pulled Hagrid, "Professor Dumbledore, Hagrid and I will go to the Forbidden Forest to check."

Old Deng nodded, and walked to the oriel window, "I'm more curious now, is Tom still in this school?"

Everyone was shocked and looked at Dumbledore blankly.

Professor Dumbledore stroked the wand in his hand, the phoenix flew into the air, and disappeared into the principal's room with a burst of flames.

In the end, only Snape was left looking at the female werewolf on the seat with a headache...
