Chapter 151 The Secret of the Map

This is?

Feeney looked at the line of text seductively,

Legilimency?

This spell suddenly appeared in his mind, because only this spell can read things in other people's minds, whether it is ideas, plans, or memories.

So, maybe the magic on this map is just a trace spell combined with Legilimency?

Legilimency can be used throughout Hogwarts to read the memories of young wizards to determine their names.

Trace spells will then be automatically generated to show the location and behavior of those little wizards.

If the principle of the Marauder's Map is really like this, then Feeney has to admit that the four Marauders back then were really geniuses.

Because legilimens is fixed on a certain item, and this item also has a certain amount of intelligence, it is the effect of the Imbuing Spell in Gryffindor's inheritance.

That's what the Sorting Hat is like,

There is absolutely no problem that the four Marauders, who also mastered the Imbuing Spell when they were in school, are called geniuses. The Gryffindor inheritance treasure is not so easy to obtain.

But there is also a problem, that is, the Marauder's Map is only a magic item after all. Even if he has his own intelligence, he cannot expand the scope of his fixed Legilimency Spell to the entire Hogwarts.

You must know that although Hogwarts is just a magic school, its scope is not small, including half of the Black Lake, a small part of the Forbidden Forest, Quidditch pitches, fields, castles, etc.

Therefore, Feeney suspected that there might be some connection between the Marauder's Map and Hogwarts Castle.

Although he has not yet figured out what this connection is, he can still think of some key issues.

That is, when they crossed the Black Lake and came to Hogwarts Castle as freshmen, they were attached with a protocol magic from Hogwarts Castle. Therefore, all the Marauder's Maps that were connected to the castle knew It is not difficult to name all the students.

Thinking of this, Feeney wasn't very sure either.

However, if this idea is correct, then it is understandable that there are no traces of magic on the Marauder's Map.

Because in this case, the real Marauder's Map is actually the Hogwarts castle, not the parchment in front of you.

The parchment in front of you is actually just an extension.

But how did the Marauders manage to connect the Marauder's Map with the castle?

Anyone who is not a fool will not do such a thing as casting a spell on the castle, because even if they drain themselves dry, or even run out of magic and die, they cannot put the entire castle under their own magic, even for a long time. Never fade.

Therefore, it is more likely that the looters found the castle's control center, which allowed them to directly obtain part of the castle's authority, just like the principal of Hogwarts, and then used this authority to create the living map in their hands.

However, now, Feeney has not seen traces of magic on the Marauder's Map, so he cannot find out where the so-called control center of the castle is based on the traces. This makes it impossible to copy and study the Marauder's Map in his hand. .

So, the key issue now is to find the control center of Hogwarts Castle. In fact, there is no need to find it, because Feeney knows very well that such a place is probably Dumbledore's office. You know, in the original book, Dumbledore After being kicked out of Hogwarts, his office was completely blocked. Although Umbridge was the principal in name, she could not control Hogwarts because she was not recognized and did not get the chance to study in the school. permission,

Many people thought that she couldn't get into the office because she wasn't recognized. However, Feeney always felt that he wasn't recognized because he couldn't get in.

In fact, there is nothing the other way around, because if you are recognized, you will naturally be able to enter, and those who can enter will naturally be recognized.

Looking at his name on the Marauder's Map, Feeney sighed,

At least because Phineas's name is on the map, there is no need to immediately find a way to hide it to hide his identity. However, a map that can monitor his actions in Hogwarts is still a bit dangerous. .

Wrinkling his eyebrows, Feeney felt that he should still find a way to hide his name on the Marauder's Map. However, he was not in such a hurry. He could slowly think of a way later, and by the way, when he returned the map to George and Fred , letting them see their name is also on the map without arousing their suspicion.

So now the map in my hand is actually of little use to me.

Feeney thought with some disappointment that he originally brought the map to the meeting just to study the magic on it. Now that it is confirmed that the main body of the magic released on it is not the map itself, there is no need to study it.

Sudden,

Finny remembered some of the uses of the Marauder's Map to him. He first recorded several secret passages recorded on the map. Although he wanted to leave Hogwarts, he could let Puff take him away. However, the mission of exploring Hogwarts on the system panel still requires these secret passages.

After that, he put the realization on Sakaski's name, for whom Feeney has always been wary.

It didn't matter, but it made Feeney feel horrified.

Because Sakaski's name is not on the map!

You know, this Marauder's Map had been kept in a drawer in his office by Filch. Before George and the others stole it, only its creators, the Marauders, had used it.

Therefore, Sakaski will not and has no chance to cast a spell on the Marauder's Map to erase his name,

Then, there are only two explanations for the lack of traces of him on the map. One is that he is not in Hogwarts at this time. However, this possibility is very low, because he has never left Hogwarts since the beginning of this school year. ,

Therefore, without his name, there is only the second possibility. He is in a place that is not on the map.

As far as Feeney knew, there were at least two places in Hogwarts that were not on the Marauder's Map. One was the Room of Requirement and the other was Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.

Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets requires Snake to enter, so Sakaski was in the Room of Requirement at this time.

And it's precisely his presence in the Room of Requirement that makes people feel scary,

You know, he didn't graduate from Hogwarts, but from Skull. He has been teaching at Skull since graduation. He has never been to Hogwarts before.

This visit to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was his first time setting foot in the castle. It had only been four months, and he had already found the Room of Requirement?
