Chapter 12 The Marauder's Map

Soon, it was time for dinner again.

The food at dinners on weekdays is naturally not as rich as the back-to-school dinner, but even so, the food on the plate is enough to keep all the little wizards full.

After the dinner, Linn came to the prize display room on the fourth floor as promised.

Surprisingly, Fred and George seemed to have been waiting here for a long time. The two were sitting on the floor, with a large dung bomb placed on the ground in the middle. They seemed to be discussing something.

Seeing Lin En's arrival, the two put away the dung bombs, patted their butts and stood up.

"It's finally here, Lynn! Come here and show you our big baby!"

George said with a smile and gently closed the door of the trophy display room.

Fred exaggeratedly pulled out a large square piece of parchment from the wizard's robe. The parchment seemed to be very worn, and there was nothing visible on it.

Anyone who sees this parchment will probably think that it is just an ordinary piece of garbage that no one wants.

But Linn was different. He was familiar with the original work and naturally knew that this parchment was the legendary Marauder's Map.

"What is this? I can feel the magic fluctuations on this parchment. It doesn't seem to be an ordinary parchment."

Linn asked knowingly.

"You are very discerning! This is the secret of our success!" George caressed the parchment lovingly, as if caressing his girlfriend.

Fred said: "This is our secret weapon to break into Hogwarts. It allows us to master many secret passages that even Filch doesn't know, and allows us to avoid being caught when we play pranks."

Linn shrugged and motioned for the two of them to show it off.

George pulled out his wand, tapped the parchment lightly, and said, "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."

In an instant, thin lines of ink spread like a spider's web from where the tip of George's wand had touched, connecting with each other, criss-crossing, and extending to every corner of the parchment.

Then, words appeared on the parchment, which were large green characters:

Introducing Moonface, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs, gentlemen helping magical mischief makers - the Marauder's Map!

The map showed all the details of Hogwarts castle and grounds, but what was most unusual was that there were many small black dots moving across the map, each with a name in tiny font.

On the Marauder's Map, Linn could see Professor Snape walking around in the Potions classroom, seemingly getting potion ingredients; Professor Green was motionless in the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office, perhaps doing something. Alchemy experiment; Professor Dumbledore took two steps in the principal's office and then disappeared without a trace. Linn guessed that he apparated away through the flames of Phoenix Fawkes.

In addition to Hogwarts Castle, Linn could also see some strange passages, and what these passages had in common was that they all led to Hogsmeade.

"There are seven passages leading to Hogsmeade, of which Filch knows these four." Fred gestured with the passages on the Marauder's Map. "I believe the other three are only the two of us, oh no, the three of us. I know. Try not to use the one behind the mirror on the fifth floor, that passage looks a little loose, and I bet it's going to collapse in five years."

"There is also this one. The entrance is at the base of the Whomping Willow. It is probably not used by anyone. As for the remaining one, the entrance is on the one-eyed old woman's hunchback outside the classroom. Through it, you can go straight to Honeydukes' cellar. , this is the one we take most often.”

Fred introduced the secret passages of Hogwarts to Lynn.

Linn nodded slightly. He planned to tell the Weasley twins about the secret passage from the Whomping Willow to the Shrieking Shack next time. As for now, he had just gotten the Marauder's Map and he had no reason to know about it.

"Moonface, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs," George exclaimed, patting the title of the map, "Thanks to them."

"Noble man, working tirelessly to help a new generation of offending students," said Fred solemnly.

"Yeah," George agreed briskly, "don't forget to dissipate when you're done—"

"—otherwise they'll all see it," Fred warned.

"Just tap it again and say: 'Prank over!' and it will become a blank piece of paper again." As George said, he tapped the Marauder's Map again with his wand and changed the writing on the Marauder's Map. Eliminate.

Fred smiled and said to Linn: "If you need the Marauder's Map, you can ask us for it at any time. Of course, we can also use it to sneak out and play together. By the way, we plan to go to Huo Huo through the secret passage this Saturday. Grimod's Zuko Joke Shop, do you want to join me?"

After the third year of Hogwarts, the little wizards can go to Hogsmeade every weekend with the signature of their guardian. However, the Weasley twins are only in their second year this year and cannot go to Hogwarts through formal channels. Maud, so the secret road recorded in the Marauder's Map became their way to Hogsmeade.

Lin En shook his head and said: "I have an appointment with Professor Green at noon this Saturday. He is willing to give me some guidance on alchemy. If you don't mind, I can also teach him the alchemy knowledge I have learned." you."

Hearing this, both of them were a little surprised. They didn't expect that Lin En had already taken the path of Professor Green.

"Cool! The famous French alchemist personally guides, really worthy of Lynn!"

"You are amazing, I will give you a thumbs up!"

Fred and George clapped simultaneously.

Fred said: "In that case, let's go to Hogsmeade together on Sunday. Lynn, don't forget to bring us alchemy knowledge!"

Lin En smiled and nodded: "Well, dogs Fugui, bark at each other!"

Although Lin En's words made the two of them a little confused, they knew what Lin En meant and laughed heartily.

"By the way, I may need to borrow your alchemy book for a while. Please tell that Ravenclaw senior." Linn said. After all, the books in his hands were borrowed by the Weasley twins from others. , he was embarrassed to possess it with peace of mind.

Fred and George looked at each other, and then George said: "Don't worry about this. Just after yesterday's dinner, the Ravenclaw senior came to us and said that he would give us the books directly. So you can Just take a look and let’s borrow another one!”

The Ravenclaw senior was already in the sixth grade, and the ancient rune textbooks for the third grade had naturally been eliminated long ago. Since he had no brothers and sisters in his family, these books had no room for recycling, so the Ravenclaw Senior Lao thought that instead of wasting these books, he might as well give them to the Weasley twins as a favor.
