Chapter 80 Who Can Tell for Sure After 79?
Chapter 80 79. Who can tell for sure in the future?
The Marauder's Map, a magic map created by the four marauders, marks almost all the locations and secret passages of Hogwarts Castle. It is also attached with an extremely powerful human trace spell, which can show the names of all people and ghosts in the castle on the map.
Even if Jon is now wearing an invisibility cloak and drinking the Polyjuice Potion, the name revealed on the Marauder's Map where he stands on the first floor of the castle is not "Randy Smith", but "Jon Green".
This map is very important for Jon who is now sneaking into Hogwarts Castle. It can be said that with it and the invisibility cloak, there is almost no place in the castle that he cannot go.
More importantly, it also marks the entrances to all the secret passages in the castle, which means that Jon has the opportunity to walk out of the castle and contact Dumbledore directly outside!
This map is equivalent to opening the full map for Jon, removing the fog of war in the castle, so that he knows the movements of everyone in Hogwarts.
Jon carefully scanned the names of everyone marked on the Marauder's Map.
After entering Hogwarts Castle, he had been wondering why all the ghosts in the school disappeared.
Even if he got the Marauder's Map, he still had no gains. He didn't find any of the ghosts with names in the original book, such as Peeves, the Bloody Baron, the Grey Lady, and Nearly Headless Nick.
The ghosts had died once, and there was no way to kill them again. No matter the Unforgivable Killing Curse or the Instant Death of the Basilisk, there was no way to kill them again.
The only explanation for the current situation was that they had all been taken away from the castle, but Jon had not seen these ghosts in the carriage. Why did Voldemort take them out of the castle again?
Jon couldn't figure out this problem for the time being. Just when he was about to extend his wand to cancel the magic on the Marauder's Map, he suddenly found that a name seemed to move suddenly at the bottom of the entire map.
Jon stopped what he was doing, frowned slightly, and looked down at the location that should be the castle basement, but found that every name was staying in his room, and no one was walking around or going out.
He did not immediately judge that this was his illusion, but continued to stare at this location on the map for five or six minutes, and finally continued the action that he had just stopped, and gently tapped the Marauder's Map.
"The prank is over."
The lines on the map were all gathered together, and finally condensed into ink dots on the tip of his wand and then disappeared.
Jon put away the map that had turned back into ordinary parchment, then tightened the invisibility cloak on his body and walked out of Filch's office.
Even if someone really moved just now, it would not make him too frightened. Even if they were mudblood students, there was no rule that they could not get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.
After walking down to the basement, he closed the "prison door" with his backhand, and a "creaking" sound caused by rusty hinges echoed in the quiet corridor of the underground dormitory.
After locking the door again, he returned to his dormitory.
However, what Jon did not notice was that the door of the dormitory he had just passed was not locked. An eye hidden in the dark stared at the empty corridor. A faint sound of footsteps was heard, and then the door of the dormitory of a student named "Randy Smith" was opened and then locked again...
It was October.
The weather was gradually getting colder. The pure-blood and half-blood students had changed into thicker school robes, and even the mudblood students received a worn-out thick robe to keep warm.
However, in such weather, they still needed to put their hands into the cold water, wash the rags and clean the castle and the Quidditch field.
Even though most students had basically learned the cleaning spell cast by gesture, this spell was not omnipotent. It could be applied to most scenes, but some still required the mudblood students to work by themselves.
The atmosphere in Hogwarts Castle has become more and more heated recently, because October also means the start of the Quidditch competition every semester.
For the magic world, which is already very short of entertainment activities, this is something that can easily excite the students studying in the castle.
However, the two separated colleges of half-blood and pure-blood will not compete with each other, but the half-bloods will compete with each other, and the pure-bloods will compete with each other within the college.
Students with ideas can go to the professor of flying class who specializes in managing this matter to apply for the establishment of a team, and then each team will compete with each other. At the end of the semester, the winning team will receive actual material rewards such as the latest flying broom, and the team name will be left in the center of the trophy display room.
It is obvious that Voldemort deliberately separated half-blood and pure-blood students in both education and sports. He wanted to deeply engrave the mentality that pure-bloods should have privileges in the hearts of half-blood wizards when they were young, so that they would accept this from the bottom of their hearts whether now or in the future, and then the class of the magic world in the future would be completely solidified.
But no matter how lively the castle was, it had nothing to do with the Mudblood students. Instead, this carnival between mixed-blood and pure-blood people added a lot of workload to them.
Before the game, they have to clean the unused stadium in advance, and the work of cleaning up the scene after the game also falls on them.
The first Quidditch match ended on Saturday, and Jon and his team's second job of cleaning the pitch began on the weekend after the game.
Because of their experience, the second-year students' work progress this time will be much faster than the previous time.
"Come on, Randy, your spell is stronger than mine. You should be able to clean these things up."
The boy named Hanton, who had previously told Jon the specific location of Filch's office, looked at the drinks spilled on the ground, whether it was pumpkin juice or butterbeer, and approached Jon and said to him.
Jon nodded and handed him the broom in his hand, asking him to clean up the colorful ribbons falling on the ground in the auditorium.
"Actually, you just have some deviations in pronunciation. If you change your habits a little, you can use the Cleansing Charm well."
"Hermione told me the same thing." Hanton took the broom with an envious expression on his face, "You guys are so talented. Professor Sinistra only taught you once and you all learned it. "
"Learning magic requires not only diligence and hard work, but also the ability to accept the process yourself." Jon did not use the cleaning spell immediately. He was determined to teach the boy something, "When casting spells, we originally have to rely on thoughts and You have to use your will to complete the spell, and if you are interested in the spell itself, it is actually not difficult to learn.”
Hanton lowered his voice.
"I secretly watched those wizard students compete. They could actually fly in the sky on a broomstick! That was very interesting!"
"Be careful. If Dolohov catches you peeking, it will be a disaster."
Hanton looked up at the blue sky above his head. He placed the ordinary broom that Jon handed him under his crotch, as if he, like the mixed-blood and pure-blood students, was already flying on the broom. Towards the sky.
"It would be great if I could fly like them." He said yearningly.
Jon didn't look at Hanton. He never moved his eyes away from the drink stain in front of him, but he never started to cast the spell. He broke the short silence and murmured in a voice that Hanton didn't know if he could hear. .
"Who can say for sure in the future?"
