Chapter 1080 New Version of the Marauder's Map
Fudge's uneasiness was soon confirmed as Wayne Enterprises suddenly announced that the magic communicator would be available worldwide on June 6.
Nowadays, whether at home or abroad, as soon as the magic home appliances with projection function are turned on, they will automatically play a brief introduction of new products.
Simple operation, powerful functions and, most importantly, portability.
Although it has been used by magical governments of various countries for a long time, no one expected it to be officially launched on the market so soon.
Fudge certainly wanted to prevent the magic communicator from being launched, even if it was just to delay its launch.
But the wizarding world has no merchandise laws, and Wayne Enterprises acquired the exclusive rights in the mobile communications field last year. What excuses can the Ministry of Magic find to stop it?
Are there safety risks?
All magic home appliance brands use the Wayne Enterprises solution without exception, so if there are real safety risks, no one can escape.
Suspected of privacy leakage?
The magic governments of various countries have spent more than half a year, and their blatant targeting will only make foreign countries laugh at them.
Misuse of muggle items?
Wayne Enterprises is a multinational corporation and may cause international disputes.
After much deliberation, Fudge finally decided to wait and see.
Social transparency like in the Muggle world?
Impossible, this set of rules has been maintained in the magical world for hundreds of years and will continue to be maintained in the future.

……
On the weekend, Sirius and Lupin came to Hogwarts secretly.
Their main purpose this time was to set up alternative recognition magic for the new map, and to reunite with their children after a long absence.
Everyone decided to have a picnic by the stream in the forbidden forest, and Gugu and Jomgand came over following the smell.
They saw Sirius, or more precisely, saw the large piece of meat in his hand and pounced on him.
When they had almost finished playing, he and Lupin got up and walked into the depths of the Forbidden Forest.
Vincent followed behind very naturally, and the three of them found a relatively quiet eight-eyed giant spider nest.
The big cuties immediately hid in the corner and trembled. Sirius and Lupin couldn't help but think of their miserable experiences last year.
Not only them, the two Dementors guarding the gate are also in a miserable state.
Vincent wasted no time in removing a black rectangular block of metal from Flamel's ring.
It is long and flat, with delicate magical runes engraved on its surface.
“Is this the new map you drew?”
Vincent nodded and gently touched its surface, and a three-dimensional map was projected.
Light blue lines outline the Hogwarts Castle, followed by the Quidditch field, then the herb greenhouse, the Forbidden Forest, the Black Lake, etc.
All the secret passages were marked with eye-catching red lines, even the headmaster's office and Slytherin's secret room were on it.
Sirius and Lupin looked more and more surprised.
It took half a year to draw a three-dimensional map, which was much more advanced than the two-dimensional map they drew back then.
"Let's get started." Vincent placed the device containing the new map on the ground.
Sirius and Lupin each took out their wands and chanted a spell to enchant the device.
Peter Pettigrew knew that the old map identified souls and names, so the replacement magic must use other identification conditions.
And in the vast ocean of books of the Black family, there is an ancient magic that specializes in identifying magical characteristics.
Every magical creature has different magical characteristics. The Disillusionment Charm, Animagus, and even Polyjuice Potion cannot fundamentally change or hide magical characteristics.
The light emitted from the tips of their staffs enveloped the entire device, and the magic called "Magic Trace Development" displayed the identified magic features on the three-dimensional projection map with specific names.
Each name uses a different color to distinguish the status, and the different colors are intuitively displayed according to the strength of the magic in use.
The lowest is gray, then green, followed by purple, silver, and gold.
"Huh?" Vincent stared blankly at the name that kept flashing golden light in the principal's office.
Could it be that Dumbledore's magic power was too strong, causing the magic trace to mistakenly think that he was using magic?
The professors and students generally have normal gray names, but the old bats in the bat cave are so green that they are almost purple. I guess they are brewing some terrible poison.
The Black Lake has a gleaming silver name. It is the Kraken, the North Sea monster named Cthulhu, which is the giant squid in the students' mouths.
There are also two names shining with silver light in the Forbidden Forest. One is the thousand-year-old basilisk Jomgander, and the other is Vincent, who is relatively dull in color.
This time it was Sirius and Lupin's turn to be stunned.
Vincent in front of the two people did not use any magic at all, and he was less than 20 years old. Why was he misidentified like Dumbledore?
Could it be that his true identity is a thousand-year-old magical creature similar to Jomgand and Cthulhu, but with a human appearance?
Vincent was also very puzzled. He was 100% sure that he was a human being.
Now he can barely be considered a wizard with great magical powers, but without using magic, he should be no different from an ordinary wizard.
No, that's not right, he has actually been using magic all along.
"Occlumency..." Vincent muttered to himself as he pulled out his alder wand. The powerful magical fluctuations did not cause any changes to the name on the map.
Sirius and Lupin breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
The bad thing about natural masters is that they cannot control the switch by themselves and are always in the on state.
Vincent suddenly looked at Lupin, "How about we call Tonks over? She is a natural Metamorphmagus and will probably be misidentified by the new map as well."
Lupin looked a little embarrassed, "Okay, but why are you asking for my opinion?"
Why else? To bring you two together, of course.
Vincent winked at him and bent down to pick up the device that projected the new map on the ground. "Sirius, let's find a place to hide it. It can send a specific encrypted signal to the magic base station. As long as the device that receives the signal enters the correct password, it can gain access to the map."
Sirius was pulled away by him, leaving Lupin alone in the nest of the Acromantula.
The cute ones in the corner seemed to be getting a little restless and no longer seemed to be afraid.
Lupin silently raised his wand and swatted away a few of the ones that pounced on him, then walked out of the nest and looked at the magic communicator on his wrist with complicated eyes.
After thinking for a moment, he finally opened the address book.
Tonks and most of the Aurors have been discharged from the hospital. Although they are still a little weak, they can all go to work normally.
After receiving Lupin's call, she decided to skip work without any hesitation.
When she reached the stream where they had their picnic in the Forbidden Forest, Vincent and Sirius were still debating where to hide the device that held the new map.
"Neither the Forbidden Forest nor the Black Lake seem to be safe. As for the castle..."
The two looked at each other, and the principal's office popped into their minds.
"How about hiding in the Sorting Hat?"
"good idea!"
