Chapter 286 Hypothesis
When the snow decorates the castle, when Hagrid cuts down the pine trees, and when the little wizards put on new clothes, it means that Christmas is approaching.
Just like the original plot, in the last week before the winter vacation, Harry, who was unable to go to Hogsmeade Village to have fun, got the Marauder's Map with the help of the Weasley twins.
To put it bluntly, it is a map that covers the Hogwarts Castle and the edge of the Forbidden Forest, but its extraordinary feature is that it can display the name of everyone in the castle and keep track of their locations at any time, and it also records seven unknown secret passages.
After a simple experience of the map, Harry immediately went to the library to find Hermione, who was concentrating on studying, and Ron, who was licking his face and gathering around.
"You mean, you found a secret passage to Hogsmeade Village?"
"Yes, follow me!"
The two followed Harry, who was vowing, to a hunchbacked one-eyed witch statue on the third floor of the castle.
Harry pointed his wand at the statue and read "left and right separation".
The statue opened, revealing a secret entrance with a stone slide that sloped downward.
"Wow! Brother, I'm starting to believe it!" Ron's eyes widened.
"You'll believe it completely soon, let's go!"
The three of them slid down the slide and soon came to the bottom of a stone staircase, and then walked along the stone staircase to the end where there was a trap door.
"I hope there's no Fluffy up there!"
"Don't worry, there won't be!"
The three of them pushed open the trap door and found that it was a cellar, and they could vaguely hear the noisy shopping sounds outside.
"Oh, Merlin! It's the sound from Honeydukes! We really came to Hogsmeade!" Ron was shocked.
"Let's go out first, after all, this is someone's cellar." Hermione reminded in a low voice.
"I brought the invisibility cloak!"
Harry immediately spread the black invisibility cloak in his arms, and Ron got in skillfully, and then the two of them tacitly reserved the middle position and looked at Hermione expectantly at the same time.
The little witch smiled, pointed her wand at herself, and her figure naturally disappeared in front of the two people.
The two people looked visibly frustrated.
"What kind of magic is this?" Ron muttered.
"Disillusionment spell! You really should read more books. Okay, let's go!"
Going up through the cellar stairs, it was indeed Honeydukes' cottage outside.
Squeezing through the crowded crowd until they came to the outside of the store and felt the snow all over the sky. Hermione lifted the Disillusionment spell, and Harry and Ron also took off their invisibility cloaks.
"Welcome to Hogsmeade Village, how do you feel, Harry?" Hermione turned around and asked with a smile.
Looking at the lively wizard village around him, Harry showed the joy of freedom, "It looks great!"
"There are several places here, such as the Shrieking Shack and Zonko's Joke Shop. You will feel even better after you go in. Come on, follow me!" Ron interrupted and led the way.
As the two followed, Hermione tilted her head and asked curiously, "Harry, how did you find this secret passage?"
Harry basically didn't hide anything from the two of them, and directly told them the secret of the Marauder's Map.
After listening, Ron complained about his two brothers on the spot, and they had kept it secret from him for so long.
Hermione was asking Lu Yuan whether her traces of night tours in the future would be discovered.
[No, the map is based on the castle contract for positioning, and I have already adjusted it for you on the day you entered school. Whenever you go out at night, your location will be completely blurred, so don't worry. ]
Hearing this, Hermione relaxed and thought of another thing. This Marauder's Map seemed to help check the identity of Banban, if the other party had not lost it.
The three of them walked towards Zonko's Joke Shop while talking and laughing.
However, when passing the Three Broomsticks, Harry suddenly heard his name.
Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw Minister of Magic Fudge getting off the sleigh and Professor McGonagall wearing a wizard hat.
Together with the shop owner, Ms. Rosmerta, the three of them walked into the shop mysteriously.
"Harry, they just..." Ron was halfway through his words when he found that Harry was no longer around him. At the same time, a series of footprints appeared out of thin air in the snow and were heading straight for the bar.
"He is too anxious, we..." Ron stopped talking again, because Hermione was also missing, and there was only one more series of footprints in the snow.
Ron opened his mouth and suddenly felt that the snow between heaven and earth seemed to be a little colder. He hurried to catch up and wanted to chase into the shop, but was stopped by the skeleton hanging in front of the door.
Reason: Minor wizards are not allowed to enter!
At this moment, the surroundings were even colder!
Everything that happened in the shop was the same as in the original book.
Harry heard the "truth" of the year. When his parents were pregnant with him, in order to avoid Voldemort's pursuit, they used the Fidelius Charm to hide their residence. This spell was so powerful that even Voldemort could not find it even if he lay in front of the window without knowing the exact location or someone leading the way.
But this spell needs a secret keeper. At that time, Harry's father chose his best friend Sirius Black and even made Black Harry's godfather.
But it was under such circumstances that Voldemort came to the door and caused the tragedy of Harry's family.
So the murderer is self-evident!
Afterwards, Sirius went crazy and blew up his friend and follower until only a finger was left.
And the person killed by Sirius was named Peter Pettigrew!
Now that Sirius has escaped from prison, everyone thinks that he came to kill Harry.
Harry felt his brain was about to explode after hearing this. He was so angry that he could hardly breathe. He staggered out of the bar, knocked passers-by aside and rushed into the wild.
Ron, who was standing outside and enduring the snowstorm alone, was still dazed when Hermione suddenly pulled him forward and chased him.
Looking at the clothes being pulled by Hermione, Ron, who was originally lonely, cold, heartbroken and had no one to talk to, smiled again.
If Hermione knew that this guy was still thinking about something, she would probably blow him into the snow.
The two followed the footprints to a deserted place and found Harry, who was venting his anger on the snow.
Seeing Harry's crazy look, Ron, who was full of love, realized that something was wrong at this time.
He whispered to Hermione, "What happened in there?"
Then he heard Harry answering him, "He was their friend, but he betrayed them. I'm going to kill him!"
Ron's eyes widened and he swore that he had listened carefully, but now there were only "he" and "them" in his mind.
He wanted his good brother to explain clearly, but seeing Harry's state, he really didn't know how to start.
It was only after Hermione said a few words briefly that Ron understood.
"I hope he comes to me soon. If I see him, I will fight him to the death!" Harry gritted his teeth and said with hatred.
However, Hermione frowned slightly after hearing this, "Harry, something seems to be wrong here!"
