Chapter 157: Speculations about the founder

Therefore, Feeney could see through the model that Dumbledore hurriedly walked into Richie's office and searched around.

After a while, Professor McGonagall and the others also came to the office.

Although I couldn't hear what they were saying, I guess they were trying to determine where Richie went and how he left Hogwarts.

Shaking his head, Feeney returned his attention to the model and crystal ball in front of him.

Since the Marauders can use these controls to create the Marauder's Map, there's no reason Feeney can't do it.

A piece of parchment prepared in advance was taken out by Feeney.

This is the map he previously recorded based on the Marauder's Map, as well as some secret passages.

Now is the perfect time to make your own Marauder's Map.

With the casting of the drawing spell and the enchantment spell, the parchment can now be regarded as a simple Marauder's Map.

Afterwards, magic text is used to link the map and the castle model together, and the patterns on the map will change with the changes in reality, such as the opening and closing of some secret passages and the changes of some stairs.

Then comes the most important part,

Feeny cast a linking spell on the parchment and crystal ball, linking the two together.

However, because the subject and content are different, the link spell is invalid.

Feeney had already thought of this. His purpose of doing this was to make the same magic fluctuations as the crystal ball appear on the parchment.

And the most important thing is his next magic spell, which is as simple as an excellent copy spell that can be used by first-year students, that is, copy into pairs.

It is usually used by little wizards on papers to reduce the fatigue of writing.

At this time, it was used by Feeney on parchment, and the object copied was the effect of a crystal ball, which is an effect that shows the specific situation and location of those characters in reality.

As the copy spell took effect, some names appeared on the map, but their positions were at the moment the copy spell was used. Their subsequent movements did not change their positions on the map.

This is something Feeney has already thought of. After all, what he has produced now is only a map that can change the geographical location according to reality, and it is not a complete Marauder's Map.

The link spell was released by Finny for the third time, and the target was still the parchment and crystal ball.

This time, the spell worked;

As the spell took effect, the names on the parchment began to turn into footprints and move on the map.

At this moment, the Marauder's Map was successfully produced.

However, Feeney knew very well that the map in his hand was limited by time and distance.

It is only useful within the scope of Hogwarts Castle until all the magic power is consumed.

Because this is the disadvantage of the link spell,

Compared to the Marauder's Map made by the Marauders, which is like the Hogwarts Castle authority extension, the one in Feeney's hand is just a piece of waste paper.

But waste paper also has uses. He had some speculations about this castle before. Now with the successful creation of the map, this speculation has become a reality.

In this castle, Dumbledore, as the principal, is not the one with the highest authority, but the second most powerful one.

In the castle, there is another being who not only has higher authority than Dumbledore, but can even be said to be the master of the castle.

As for the existence that can be called the owner of the castle, it is obvious that there are only those four people.

Ravenclaw's death was certain, not only because it was recorded, but also because her body and purpose were now clearly placed there.

Gryffindor is in the Black Lake, a fact that Feeny only learned not long ago.

The only ones who still have doubts are Slytherin and Hufflepuff.

Hufflepuff is missing. According to her descendants, she suddenly disappeared one day.

There are rumors that Slytherin is dead. After all, his wand is now buried under the snakewood tree in the courtyard of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

However, compared to the missing Hufflepuff, Finny always felt that the one with authority in the castle at this time was Slytherin.

It’s strange to say that Slytherin, who has a deep bloodline philosophy, Gryffindor, who is brave and reckless, and Ravenclaw, who is wise and cunning, all have corresponding clues in Hogwarts and the wizarding world. The inheritance they left behind. Either you have found it, or you know where it is, and it’s not the time to look for it yet.

However, the most approachable Hufflepuff is indeed the most mysterious. There is no clue about her in the wizarding world. In Hogwarts, Finny did not find any explanation of her legacy.

Perhaps the only impression wizards today have of her is that of a house elf.

According to legend, it was she who took in house elves and improved their living environment, which allowed them to survive.

However, according to Feeney's understanding, the house elf itself was a product of Hufflepuff, so she was far from being that kind. However, it was understandable that several wizards of that period were The kind one?

House elves were created to serve wizards, and no wizard cared whether they were natural or magical products.

Therefore, everything about Hufflepuff is actually what the other three people said. She does not seem to have left any notes, books, or records.

There isn't even a portrait.

It was as if she was hiding herself deliberately,

Such a person Finny didn't think would stay in Hogwarts for thousands of years without news or clues from his class.

Therefore, it is more likely that the dead man from Slytherin controls the authority of the castle in Hogwarts at this time.

As a wizard obsessed with studying magic, it would be much easier for Slytherin to remain undetected for thousands of years.

It’s not without reason that Saletlin is an otaku.

After all, he created the only basilisk in the history of magic, studied blood magic, created a lot of black magic, and even set up a separate secret room in the lower level for the purpose of research.

If you weren’t a nerd, you wouldn’t be able to put the secret room you use for research at the bottom of the castle.

Although the current entrance and exit of the secret room was probably modified by his descendants, thinking about it, the original entrance and exit must have been very secret, and few people passed through.

Otherwise, the other three people would not have left a few words.

Feeney even suspected that the so-called Slytherin escape was that he left the castle for a while and then returned to his secret room.

Watching the other three people searching for me all over the world,

Otherwise, how could the three Gryffindors have been searching for so many years without any clues about Slytherin, unless he was hiding under their noses.
