Chapter 104: The plan gradually takes shape
After a long silence, Hermione suddenly said firmly: "I think we should still file a record, even if it's only for Dumbledore. Otherwise, once our actions alert the enemy, it will be easy to cause irreparable problems. After all, judging from the current situation, the people in this organization are all crazy! If the school is unaware of it, we will be in a very passive position!"
"What you said does make sense. But I doubt whether Dumbledore will agree to let us continue the investigation if we report it to him," Penelope answered uncertainly.
"What are you discussing? Isn't it just a matter of a word from us whether to report it or not? If you feel that something is wrong, you can always find the principal. Even if the principal is not here, there will be no problem finding a few deans. What we should consider now is how to hook the big fish behind through Li Jordan." Padma said speechlessly.
Her remarks immediately gained approval from her friends.
"That's right, we seem to be too rigid." Penelope touched her nose helplessly and smiled bitterly at Hermione.
"Then keep a close eye on Lee Jordan. We'll take turns." Hannah said hatefully, waving her little fist.
"That won't work. It would be like alerting the enemy. Once discovered, the consequences would be disastrous." Penelope denied it immediately.
"Why not let Yang Tian continue his night tour so that we can track the owl that delivers the letter and investigate the contact network?" Padma asked like a little witch.
"This method is worth a try. There are still many books in the banned area that we haven't read yet!" Yang Tian immediately agreed.
I have to say that Yang Tianzhen is a good child who has forgotten the pain once the wound has healed.
"you dare!"
"Don't even think about it!"
"Are you trying to scare us to death?"
Yang Tian's answer was like stirring up a hornet's nest, and he was immediately attacked by his friends.
"Well...well...actually, even if we don't go to the restricted book area, we can still give the night tour plan a try." The suppressed Yang Tian smiled helplessly and made small talk.
It seems that there will be no chance to go to the restricted books area in the short term.
"Why should we be so passive? Why let Yang Tian take risks?" Zhang Qiu asked weakly.
Everyone was about to explain and comfort her, but Zhang Qiu said, "Can we find a way to steal the live map? This way, Li Jordan will lose the ability to know Yang Tian's whereabouts, and he will definitely contact his companions frequently to discuss countermeasures. And we will have the live map in our hands, so we can monitor Li Jordan from a distance and see where he usually is and who he is close to."
Zhang Qiu's voice became lower and lower, and finally he couldn't continue. It was because the friends around him, including Yang Tian, looked so scared that their jaws almost dropped to the ground. It must be said that Zhang Qiu, who always disliked conspiracy, racked his brains for Yang Tian's safety.
Shaking his little head, Zhang Qiu asked cautiously: "Did I... did I say something wrong?"
"Of course not. It's dark under the lamp. It's really dark under the lamp. As the saying goes, a wise man will make a mistake after a thousand considerations, and a fool will gain something after a thousand considerations." Yang Tian said excitedly, his eyes were indescribably bright.
"Who do you call a fool? I am also Chinese. Do you really think I can't understand Chinese?" Zhang Qiu was angry and pinched Yang Tian.
"Ouch, it hurts, stop it, it really hurts, that's not what I meant. I'm just grateful that you came up with such a good idea." Yang Tian explained while begging for mercy.
"That's right, Zhang Qiu, you are awesome. Now Li Jordan becomes blind. I wonder how they can plot against us." Penelope praised happily. Of course, she was also suspected of helping Yang Tian out of trouble.
"The idea is indeed very bold and great, but how to implement it specifically?" Hermione asked with a frown, and then fell into deep thought.
"Maybe a night tour is a good time." Yang Tian muttered quietly. Seeing the unfriendly looks from everyone, he quickly explained, "The Marauder's Map is on the Weasley brothers. From what I've observed, the two brothers love to go out at night, twice a week on average. If we strike during a night tour, the chance of success is very high. However, if we want to avoid alerting the enemy, we still have to plan carefully."
The friends all agreed with this and started discussing it.
"Perhaps we can retaliate in their own way and also contain the Weasley brothers by informing on Filch." Zhang Qiu's little brain seemed to be on fire today, and he always came up with some constructive suggestions.
"It's a good idea, but won't it arouse the school's suspicion and make them think we are accomplices of the black-robed wizard? That would be too unfair!" Hannah asked.
"How about we start from Filch's cat, Mrs. Norris? Cats can't talk, so as long as we lead her over, we can achieve the purpose of conveying the message while hiding our presence without arousing Filch's suspicion." Padma asked softly.
"You may not know that Mrs. Norris is not easy to deal with. She is extremely fast and can see through ordinary Disillusionment Charms. To put it bluntly, Mrs. Norris played a great role in Filch's capture of so many little wizards who wandered around at night."
"If you want to escape from its pursuit, you have to accurately lead it to the vicinity of the Weasley brothers without being discovered by the brothers. This is difficult..." Penelope has been in school the longest, so she knows the inside story. At the end of the analysis, she was so frustrated that she couldn't speak.
Yang Tian suddenly had an idea and remembered the magic talisman from the stack of talismans that Elder Xia had given him a few days ago. So he smiled and said, "Leave the matter of attracting Madam Loris to me. I guarantee it will be foolproof."
The friends felt relieved when they heard this, because Yang Tianke had never let them down.
"However, there are still two problems that need to be solved. First, what if the Weasley brothers look at the Marauder's Map when Yang Tian is attracting Mrs. Norris? This will easily alert the enemy. Second, how can we get the Marauder's Map without anyone noticing and without arousing suspicion." Penelope deduced and reviewed the situation step by step, acting as a brake pad.
"Maybe we don't need to attract Mrs. Norris. Aren't the Weasley brothers fond of playing mischief and exploring the unknown? Devise a rumor. For example, in a secret passage they know of, there is a treasure or a puzzle mechanism. If you answer the questions correctly, you can get some kind of reward. Aren't you afraid of arousing suspicion? Let my sister spread it throughout Gryffindor. She is a Gryffindor and will not arouse suspicion." Padma suddenly had an idea.
"We can't just spread them throughout Gryffindor. What if someone else gets there first, or if someone travels with the Weasley brothers? This will increase the difficulty of the operation." Penelope pointed out the loophole again.
"That...that may not be the case..." The person who spoke was actually Neville!
