Chapter 58: Dumping the pot
After Halloween, it was business as usual, but the Gryffindor Quidditch team training became more and more frequent, as Darren had Hermione get the books his parents bought, which contained many accounts and analyses of the use of inferior aircraft against better aircraft in World War II, which obviously inspired Wood, at least Darren found that Harry was no longer flying around on broomsticks, but began to roll and cross each other.

Of course, this is very difficult for the person riding the broomstick, because the power of the broomstick is very different from that of the airplane, they do not have a lift wing surface to provide roll and deflection torque, and still rely on the performance of the broomstick, but apparently Wood realizes that the Gryffindor who is still using the sweeping seven stars can only narrow the gap between the broomsticks as much as possible if they try to pull the Slytherin team into a low-speed flight state as well, and the Quaffle is the bait used to attract Slytherin.
It will also attract the attention of the Slytherin players, otherwise Harry Potter would be lucky to have the Slytherin batsmen and Seekers fight together, but at least no one will be machine-gun fire on the broomstick in Quidditch, and Harry is much safer than the pilots......
But at least one thing Ron said was right, Gryffindor wanted to win Slytherin, and it was ultimately up to Harry, but with Quidditch's rule of finding the Golden Snitch and getting 150 points and ending the game immediately, unless the difference in strength between the two teams was too great, the team that basically got the Snitch was the winner.
Watching Fred and George move between the pitch and the classroom every day, Darren couldn't help but rejoice that Malfoy didn't know that Harry, as a first-year freshman, would be joining the Quidditch team last year, so he didn't buy a broomstick for Slytherin, otherwise his school public address system would have gone down the drain.
In view of this situation, after discussing with Fred, George, and Hermione, Darren decided to take the "Living Point Map" to Professor Flitwick and ask him to help study it, after all, Professor Flitwick taught Charms, and now Fred and George, who had the highest research level among the four of them, were thankful that they could complete their homework, and they couldn't spare time and energy to think about the "Living Point Map".
Hermione raised her hands in favor of this decision, "This kind of thing should be taught to the professor, it's too dangerous." ”
Fred and George were a little worried that the professors would follow the instructions on the map to close the passages, but Darren asked them, "Where did Dumbledore go to school?"
"Hogwarts. ”
"Where's Professor McGonagall?"
"Hogwarts. ”
"Professor Flitwick?"
"Hogwarts. ”
"Snape?"
"Hogwarts. ”
"Do you have any other opinions?"
"No more. ”
Hermione was a little shocked, "You mean the headmaster and professors have always known about the existence of these secret passages?"
"Maybe not all of them, but most of them should know that they have been here for a lot more years than we are, and you think these secret passages have been dug up in the past few years? In fact, there are so many secret passages, which in itself is very telling, if no one knows about them, why keep digging new ones? Only after a secret passage loses its meaning, there is a need to dig a new one, I think you have seen in "Hogwarts, a school history", Hogwarts has encountered several crises. ”
"Then why don't the principals and professors close these secret passages?"
"Isn't there a collapse?And what's the need, since the secret passage has lost its secretiveness, it has also lost its greatest significance, and it is better for the students to use it to find a sense of accomplishment than for them to actually dig out a secret passage. ”
"Dig a secret passage?" George's eyes suddenly lit up, and Fred next to him had the same expression, the twins were really very human.
"Oh, I suggest you don't think about it, if you do, you know how much earth it will take, I guess by the time you graduate, you won't have dug out the lawn around the castle. ”
"And you have to consider a series of problems such as groundwater, load-bearing, and ventilation, and just dealing with the excavated soil is enough for you to worry about your nerves. ”
"Maybe you have all of these questions, but don't forget, we're wizards, and we're magical. ”
"And how long can your magic sustain you in digging? Besides, you wouldn't really think Dumbledore didn't know about using magic to open tunnels in the castle. ”
But when Darren finished speaking, he was surprised to find that the expressions on Fred and George's faces really seemed to think they could do it, "If we are careful." ”
"Please, Dumbledore has been the Headmaster of Hogwarts for almost fifty years, think about how many students he has seen in these fifty years, you are excellent, but certainly not the best. Darren said for sure, because he knew that, in a way, Dumbledore's best student was Voldemort.
"Well, we don't have time right now anyway, as long as Oliver is still the captain of Team Gryffindor. ”
As Darren expected, Professor Flitwick was excited to see the "Living Point Map" brought by Daren and Hermione, "It's incredible, this map is amazing, I've never seen such a magic item, the detection magic on it can actually work at Hogwarts, you don't know, how much protective magic there is in Hogwarts, even the Headmaster's Office, can't fully detect the situation in the castle." ”
"So, the 'Moon Face', 'Worm Tail', 'Big Footboard', and 'Pointed Fork' that made this map have a very high level of magic?"
"No, no, as you suspected, this parchment contains a lot of magic, the part used to show the handwriting is up-to-date, it is very different from the year of the parchment, and the magic level is not at the same level as the other magic, so there are at least two batches of the makers of this map, and the first batch casts most of the magic. ”
In the end, "as soon as the connoisseur reaches out, he knows if there is one", Professor Flitwick briefly looked at the "living point map" and saw the results of Darren's research for several months.
"Also, judging by the magic fluctuations of the parchment, it is not the main body, but only a component of the whole magic. ”
"Is this a combination of magic items?"
"I can't say for sure yet, but this map is very valuable, and I need to stay and study it carefully, maybe for a while," Professor Flitwick said, looking down at the map, "I'll give it back to you when I'm done." ”
"I say, give the 'Living Point Map' to Professor Flitwick for study, he's not Filch, and he doesn't care about secret passages. Returning from Professor Flitwick, Darren told Fred and George that he didn't really care about the secret passages and the "Living Point Map", he only wanted to put the "Living Point Map" in the hands of a strong enough professor.
