Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Map and Redra and the Unicorn and the Lady

"You see, it's not that difficult, is it?"

Gawain tiptoed to remove Fred from the ceiling and said easily.

After giving Filch boxes of canned cat food and promising to buy him some Muggle pet food each month, the castle's keeper happily left with Lady Loris in his arms.

He couldn't wait to go back to the office and try out the tricks Gawain had taught him.

Tricks he never thought of.

"I never thought Filch's old dog would be so easy to deal with. We're right under his nose!"

Fred said in surprise and pushed George at the same time to prevent him from landing easily.

"Hey, on the top of his nose to be exact!"

George kicked Fred lightly on the ass and landed on the ground with this force.

"Actually, it's just something else going on in his head, and in another place, he won't be able to spot you in a second or two. ”

Gawain shook his head and said.

Just now he had an idea of this plan.

With "Teasing the cat... Phew, fluorescent flickering" to contain the opponent's pawn, and at the same time attract the attention of the knight, so that his own "lamb" can pass under the opponent's nose, but his guidance to Filch is also from the heart.

"Lady Loris is already so thin that she should show the abyss and let it bargain with me. ”

Gawain thought to himself.

The twins looked at each other and nodded in understanding.

"But since you saved us. ”

"Let's repay you well. ”

"But we don't have gold Galleons, or house points. ”

"I can only share a few with you. ”

One sentence by one, like comedians.

"The secret of the castle. ”

Fred said proudly, as George pulled out a somewhat tattered piece of parchment from his bosom.

"I think I have a piece of paper to write it down. ”

Gawain glanced at the twins with some puzzlement, and pulled out another notebook from his pocket.

Colin always talked about buying such notebooks, often tearing off a few pages and throwing them aside, and he collected them.

"No, no, no, this is no ordinary parchment, don't underestimate it. Fred said with a smug smile, poking George with his elbow.

"That was when we were young and vigorous, and of course we are still like that now, and once we were caught in the office by Filch. We found this treasure in his drawer!"

George finished speaking in one breath, ignoring Fred, who was robbed of his talk.

"All in all, look!"

Fred took out his wand and lit it on the parchment, "I solemnly swear that I have no bad intentions!"

As the words fell, the ink began to spread rapidly like a spider web at the tip of his wand. Thin lines of ink are connected to each other, and there is handwriting on the top, which is large, curved cyan letters.

"Poltergeist's supporters Moon Face, Worm Tail, Big Foot and Pointed Fork proudly present the Living Point Map".

It makes up a map of Hogwarts!

And, not only that, but there are many small dots on the map, and names are marked in small print in one corner.

Now they mostly stay in the break room.

Gawain also saw himself.

"Look! We really have to thank these four gentlemen, I really don't know what we would have done without this map. ”

Fred feigned concern and grimaced.

"There are a lot of secret passages on this map, and I think you'll be interested in knowing, aren't you?"

George patted Gawain on the shoulder and traced some hidden passages on the map.

"It's a pity that this road has completely collapsed, otherwise Filch would not have been able to catch up with us today!"

He also pointed out a few routes that Filch knew or might know, but in Gawain's view, Filch was hardly a big deal.

- After all, he is a little lion who follows the rules?

"Hmm... I think he'll like a little bit of Mu Tianli, right?" Gawain thought about it for a moment, and felt that the reason at the beginning was really not reliable enough.

"Because there are still some places on the map that we haven't explored, we unfortunately can't give it to you for the time being. Fred said, spreading his hands.

"But if you don't mind, you can take it back and transcribe a copy of it with a sketch spell. It's not magical, but it's a help. After Fred, George added.

"Hmm... Okay, thank you. ”

Gawain replied nonchalantly, staring intently at the foyer on the map. There, Professor Quirrell seemed to have just returned from a walk outside the castle.

But Gawain swore that in a split second, he saw another name overlaid on "Quirinus Quirrell".

"Tom Ridla?"

He kept the name in his mind.

After he said goodbye to the twins, who were said to be "a little surprise" for Filch, Gawain had no twists and turns on his way back to the Gryffindor common room.

"Dragon scum. ”

He commanded the fat lady, and the stone door swung open.

The lion cubs had gone to bed, and the common room was empty and quiet, except for the soft "beep" sound of the charcoal fire burning in the fireplace, which seemed lazy and comfortable.

Neville was asleep in the chaise longue facing the fireplace, his wand resting on his knees.

“Akus,Akus,Akus。 ”

He muttered quietly, as if he was also practicing the Transfiguration Charm in his sleep.

Gawain took a blanket from the shelf next to him, draped it over him, and easily chose a velvet chaise longue to sit down.

"A Modern History of Magic or...?"

He thought for a moment, and pulled out the Dumbledore-annotated Chronicles of the Poet Bean on his lap.

During the holidays, he had already flipped through the book.

Unlike the commentaries in The History of Modern Magic, which focus on commentary and opinion, Dumbledore seems to have put a lot of effort into researching the origins of the stories in this fairy tale book.

"Like the three Peverell brothers. ”

Gawain casually opened the story of the wizard's hairy heart, lowered his head and prepared to relive it.

He suddenly looked up again.

The Gryffindor common room is dominated by scarlet décor and has many portraits on the walls, but the most striking thing is a large tapestry.

It depicts a scene of a beautiful noblewoman with a unicorn.

The Lady and the Unicorn

Gawain knew the name of the tapestry and knew that there was a replica of it in French museums.

It is said that when Beauxbatons students visited Hogwarts a long time ago, they created it in imitation of the original here. Later, the families of the students suffered misfortune during the Revolution and lost them.

Only six pieces have been preserved relatively intact.

But what Gawain never knew was...

This tapestry is alive too!

The lady noticed his eyes and was smiling softly here!

For Merlin's sake, any piece of women's clothing!

PS1: Lady Loris's profile... Referring to the experience of raising cats, it cannot be verified!

PS2: The Living Point map references the prisoners of Azkaban and doesn't make many changes. As for revealing Tom Riddle's name instead of Voldemort, the reason for showing Tom Riddle (Redra is the result of the protagonist's misreading) is that the seventh division at this stage is too weak to maintain his spell on the name. As for how to hide it, wait for a later on.
