Chapter 188 The Marauder’s Map

”oh? Magic map? How amazing is that?”

Leonard asked.

This thing is similar to the live map in the secret room of the ancient ruins. It has the function of real-time monitoring, but the Marauder’s Map is much more convenient than the live map and can be carried with you.

Of course, when it comes to monitoring others, it is natural The live map is better, but Leonard doesn’t intend to travel that far to spy on others.

He just needs a map that can see where people are, so he doesn’t have to run to the clock tower with milk tea. It depends on where Quirrell plans to go.

So how to get the Marauder’s Map from George and Fred? Leonard took a sip of milk tea and had an idea

”You seem to be familiar with the secret passages of Hogwarts. Do you have any tips?”

Leonard asked directly.

Based on the relationship between himself and George Fred, plus the two people’s character,······It is estimated that they will not hide it, and may even show it off.

Sure enough, after hearing Leonard’s question, George and Fred looked at each other and said proudly.

”Of course”

”Because we have a magical map!”

The two said in unison

”I’ll let you know.”

Fred glanced at George, and then George took out a dozen parchments from his pocket. The parchment was very thick, almost as big as a book, but it was completely blank and looked like ordinary parchment.

”We call it the Marauder’s Map, that’s its name, it’s written on it.”

George and Fred took out their wands at the same time, pointed at the parchment and said

”I solemnly swear that I have done nothing wrong.”

A dot of ink appeared where the two of them were pointing, and quickly extended in regular directions, forming a piece of text on the cover.

【Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs, the gentlemen who help magical mischief-makers, present the Marauder’s Map.】

”We don’t know who these nicknames represent.”

Fred said

”But we know these must be our seniors.”

George followed closely.

They opened the parchment, and inside were layers of parchment folded according to the layout of the castle. On each piece of parchment, there were walls formed by ink marks, faithfully reflecting the complete topography of the castle..This also includes all the secret passages in Hogwarts Castle. It also thoughtfully marks where each secret passage leads and how to open it.

”see it? This is how we know the location of the secret passages, and now we know all the secret passages in Hogwarts.”

Fred said proudly

”But it has another function, so don’t be surprised.”

George smiled and pointed at the name that appeared on the map.

”Do you see these names? The places where these names are located represent the location of everyone in Hogwarts. It’s very convenient, right? With this night tour, you don’t have to worry about being caught by the professor or Filch.”

”It’s amazing indeed.”

Leonard pretended to be very surprised, staring at the map looking for someone.

Soon, he found Ron Weasley’s name in the auditorium, and at the same time, right next to his name, there was There is a name Peter Pettigrew, Wormtail on the cover of the map

”When did you get this map?”

Leonard asked

”in first grade”

”We were inexperienced at that time, and Filch caught us playing a prank in his office. George and Fred replied.”

”So you’ve been holding it for three years?”

Leonard looked at the twins

”Then you should have played through the map by now?”

”certainly!”

George and Fred said proudly.

Leonard looked down at the name again. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn’t figure out why George and Fred didn’t notice this strange name that had been following their younger brother.

Did they not care?? Or did you not look at the names on the map carefully at all?

This is very possible. Maybe the twins only paid attention to the names of Filch and the professor during the night tour, and did not even look at whether there were other names in the Gryffindor dormitory. It’s normal not to notice the existence of Peter Pettigrew.

But this has nothing to do with Leonard, and Leonard will not tell others about the existence of Peter Pettigrew. This will not do him any good.

He just wants the Marauder’s Map

”This map is good.”

Leonard said

”Please make a price”

”Huh? Leonard, do you need it? Then I’ll give it to you.”

Fred said and looked at George

”George, what do you think?”……

”I think it’s okay, since we have memorized all the secret passages, and the Marauder’s Map is of little use to us.”

George nodded in agreement and said

”Just give it to you”

”This thing is worth a lot, are you sure?”

Leonard asked

”Although you say so······”

George and Fred looked at each other

”You taught us a lot of useful things and invested in our joke props. We think we should give you some gifts.”

”And we actually stole this thing from Filch’s office. It would feel weird if we used it to exchange for money, as if we stole money from Filch.”

Fred explained

”Just accept it”

”Are you sure? Don’t you want to hear how many galleons I plan to spend?”

Leonard smiled while holding the Marauder’s Map.

”The price of this kind of permanent alchemy prop is generally no less than one hundred galleons. In addition to its special functions of mapping and searching people, although its scope of effect is limited to Hogwarts, its practicality is not low, and the price is even higher. a little higher”…………..

”Then you’d better stop talking. If you continue to listen to it, we will be heartbroken.”

George said exaggeratedly, covering his heart.

”Okay, then I’ll accept it. How do I restore it to its original state?”

Leonard asked

”This is simple, just point your wand at it and say [Prank Ended]. It comes with a counter-spell. If you use a decryption spell like [Revelation of True Form], you will be humiliated, so you don’t have to worry about people who don’t know the password reading it. to the map.”

George showed off the magic spell that closed the Marauder’s Map.

”By the way, it’s best not to use this thing in front of Filch. Although his memory is not very good, he may still remember this thing. It would be terrible if he was discovered.”

Fred said

”Thank you for reminding.”

Leonard folded the parchment and put it away.

”By the way, I will try the secret passage you mentioned in the future, but forget it today. I still have a few unsolved problems and need to go to the library.”

”You are really eager to learn, but there are so many books in the library, when will you find them? murmured George.

”It took a long time to search, and I couldn’t ask Mrs. Pince for help. After all, what I was looking for was not a very common thing.”

Leonard looked at the two of them and smiled.

”Do you want to come and help me?”
