Chapter 154 Valentine’s Day Secret Visit (Part 2)

Seeing the three Weasley brothers looking like they were determined to defend their eldest brother to the death, Mike knew that he would have nothing to say today.

So he simply stopped beating around the bush and said straightforwardly: "Okay, okay, then give me that map. I can use it."

"What do you want this for? To monitor Percy?" Fred's eyebrows almost squeezed together. "I advise you to give up. Really, isn't it good to be upright?"

"Damn it, where did you think you were? I was here to investigate the heir!"

"So you suspect that Percy is the heir?" Fred was not an idiot and immediately understood the hidden meaning of Mike's words, "This is impossible! Percy is a Gryffindor, how can he be a Slytherin? Heir?"

"But your Weasley family is also pure blood, isn't it? It's one of the noblest Holy 28 families. And you ask yourself, is Percy really as strong as he is now? Maybe it's because of Slytherin. His inheritance made him suddenly stronger." Mike sneered, "Okay, give me the map quickly. Also, keep it a secret for me and don't tell Percy."

Mike's words directly silenced Fred. Mike was right. Although the Weasley family has always been a staunch supporter of blood egalitarianism, they are indeed pure blood, and their blood is stronger than most pure bloods. A lot higher.

Moreover, Percy's character is indeed inconsistent with Gryffindor's. He is greedy for power and money, and ambitious. In Fred's opinion, these are Slytherin qualities.

But Percy was his brother after all.

Fred struggled for a while, and finally took out a piece of worn and yellowed parchment from his arms.

Seeing this, Mike reached out and grabbed the parchment and tried to take it away, but failed. Fred held it tightly and wouldn't let go.

Ignoring Fred's gloomy expression, Mike increased his strength, and the parchment gradually stretched under the pull of the two, as if it was about to be torn.

Seeing this, Fred quickly let go of his hand, and Mike stuffed the Marauder's Map into his arms and said, "Thank you! Also, don't worry too much, I also hope that I guessed wrong."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the door of the lounge.

"Wait a minute!" Fred suddenly stopped Mike, with a very ugly expression on his face. "The password to open the map is 'I solemnly swear that I have done nothing good.' I hope you didn't lie to me."

There was a surprised expression on Mike's face. Fred would have almost forgotten the password if he didn't tell him. Although he had already known the password to the Marauder's Map after reading the original work, Fred's act of proactively telling it the password clearly meant that Fred believed what he just said.

A smile appeared on Mike's face, he gave Fred a thumbs up and walked out of the Gryffindor common room without saying a word.

Before he had gone far, Mike was stopped by Harry.

"I'm sorry Mike, I can't help you much?" Harry said, panting and lowering his head.

Looking at the guilty Harry in front of him, Mike smiled and punched him to comfort him: "It's okay, I already got what I wanted."

Because Mike has grown a bit quickly recently, his strength has also become stronger.

Harry, who was lightly punched by Mike, couldn't help but take two steps back. Although the place where he was punched was a little painful, seeing that Mike didn't blame him at all on his face, Harry's face finally showed A joyful smile.

Perhaps because he had never had a true friend before, Harry cherished every friend he had.

This was also the reason why Harry took Mike to find Ron even though he knew he was here to inquire about Percy. He didn't think about it at all at the first time. He only thought about how he had to help his friends.

Just as the two were chatting with smiles, Mike suddenly felt that there was a pair of eyes watching them in a dark corner not far away.

"Who is it! Come out!"

Almost instinctively, the blackthorn wand suddenly appeared in his hand. Mike pointed his wand into the shadows and let out a loud roar. Harry, who was talking to Mike, was startled by this sudden scene. He hurriedly took out his wand and pointed to the shadows like Mike.

"No, it's me."

Ginny Weasley walked out of the corner with her hands raised in surrender and said timidly.

Seeing that the person in the corner was Ginny, Harry lowered his wand with a sigh of relief. But Mike was not as naive as Harry. He still pointed his wand at her, and the fire spell was ready to go.

Not to mention how suspicious Ginny's behavior was in following them, the suspicion of being the heir has not yet been cleared away from her.

"Tell me! Why are you following us?"

"I, I just want to help you." When Ginny saw that Mike did not put down the wand, but the tip of the wand also lit up with red light, her body suddenly started to tremble violently, and even her voice had a trembling tone when she spoke, "You guys Don’t you want to know about Percy?”

After hearing this, Mike finally put down his wand, turned around and looked around. Seeing that no one else was there, he asked: "I'm sorry, Ginny. I'm a little too nervous. Do you know anything about your brother?"

Ginny in the corner still maintained her surrender posture. Mike's ferocious expression and cold eyes just now shocked her greatly. She had an inexplicable feeling that Mike really wanted to kill her just now.

"Well, I heard from Percy's roommate that Percy would often talk to himself alone during this period." Ginny said tremblingly, "The dark circles under his eyes were obviously much heavier. We all guessed that he was I don’t often practice spells by myself until late at night.”

Ginny paused mid-sentence, glanced at Mike secretly, and then continued: "In addition, his mental state has not been very good recently, and he often gets angry because of trivial things. We all speculated whether he was like this because he was broken up in love. .”

Being irritable and often talking to himself are very consistent with being bewitched by a notebook. The severe dark circles under his eyes caused by lack of sleep meant that Percy often stayed up late.

What was he doing up late? Practicing a spell?

It was indeed possible, but Percy didn't have a Room of Requirement where he could practice at will, so where could he go?

A storm of thoughts arose in Mike's brain. Although there were still many things he didn't understand, at this moment he was almost certain that Percy was the mastermind behind controlling the basilisk to attack him and Penello.

Of course, there is still one last piece of the puzzle to be finalized.

Thinking of this, Mike showed a harmless smile on his face, and asked softly in the gentlest tone:

"Then, have you seen a black notebook? No, it should be a diary, with Tom Riddle's name written on it?"

Although there was a smile on his face, Mike's eyes were cold. At this moment, he was carefully observing Ginny's expression, hoping to see flaws in her face.
