Chapter 52: Map of the Living Spots
"Fred, George, what are you doing here?" Albert looked at his roommates as he pouted and mopped the floor.
"Mopping the floor. Fred said dryly.
"By the way, I didn't know you had become so industrious. Lee Jordan looked at the twin brothers with a gloating expression. Big dung bombs are not easy to clean, especially since Filch doesn't give them detergent, and they can't clean it at all with a mop and rag.
"That's what happens when you throw bombs into the hallway. Filch, who was next to him, said to the onlookers who stopped and watched, "Don't think you can get away with doing something bad." ”
"Don't worry, I'll take a leave of absence for you in Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Albert reached out and patted the twins on the shoulders and comforted.
"Why do I always think you're a little gloating?"
"Is there any?" Albert said with a side look at Lee Jordan, "No, who told them to throw big dung bombs in the hallway and get caught by Filch?"
"I thought they were going to sneak big bombs into the hallway. Li Jordan was also puzzled, isn't this asking for trouble for himself?
Albert knew why, of course, and if Filch wasn't there, he wouldn't mind using the Descaling Charm to help them get into less trouble. Unfortunately, Filch was watching from the sidelines, and he was not good at doing that.
It took Fred and George hours to clean up the hallways and offices of the large dung bombs.
For this, they also missed lunch.
The two of them, who had a sore back, only got a sandwich from the kitchen, and now they are sitting under a tree to eat.
"What about the things? what did you take, don't say anything at all. George shoved all the sandwiches in his mouth and looked at Fred as he took out the forbidden items he had found in the drawer.
"Got it. Lo and behold, it's the thing. Fred took the envelope from his pocket and handed it to George.
"What is this?" George looked at the old-looking envelope, and turned it upside down, without the sender, and on the envelope there were two sentences written on it: I solemnly swear that I have done nothing good, and the prank is over!
"See what's inside?"
George hurriedly opened the envelope and found a large, square, very old ...... Parchment.
Well, it's just a piece of parchment of some age.
It's just that nothing is written on the parchment.
"What is this?" George looked at his brother suspiciously, they could all sense that there was some secret on this piece of parchment, otherwise they would not have been placed in a confiscated, high-danger drawer by Filch.
"Will there be a password? Fred suddenly remembered the two sentences on the envelope, "I solemnly swear that I have done nothing good." ”
"Stupid, wand, with wand. George took out his wand, pressed it against the parchment, and said, "I solemnly swear that I have done nothing good." ”
Lines of ink began to appear where the wand had just touched, converging and crossing each other on the parchment like a spider's web, and beginning to extend to every corner of the parchment.
"You really need a password!" the twins' faces showed unconcealed excitement.
Sure enough, there was a secret hidden in this parchment.
"Look, what is this?" Fred stared at the surface of the parchment, and noticed that a line of writing began to appear above the parchment:
Suppliers of Magical Prank Makers' Aids: Moon Face, Wormtail, Big Foot, and Pointed Fork are proud to present the Living Point Map.
"Living map?" the twins said in unison, "this is still a map." ”
"George, look, the ink dots on the parchment can actually move. Fred was amazed as the twin brothers shared their findings.
"Nonsense, otherwise how can it be called a live point map. ”
The two of them get together to study the secrets of the map of the living point, and soon discover that the map details the location of Hogwarts Castle and the various secret passages, as well as the password to open the secret passages.
Finally, you don't need to worry about finding the location of the secret passage, and you can't open the secret passage.
On top of that, it also marks everyone's location with ink dots.
Albert emerges from the library and appears to be preparing to return to the break room, where Filch is on the fourth floor and Peeves, the prankster, on the sixth floor.
"George ......"
"Fred ......"
"You say it first...... the two said in unison, and they couldn't help but laugh after facing each other.
"So, let's talk about it together. ”
"Night tour. ”
The two looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh again.
"We'll go on a night trip in the future, and we won't have to worry about getting caught by Filch even if we don't have a phantom spell. ”
"yes, that's great, there are a lot of hidden tunnels up there that we haven't noticed. ”
"Try another password. Fred reminded, holding his wand against the map and whispering, "The prank is over." ”
The next moment, the trail on the parchment faded away, and within seconds it turned back into a blank piece of old parchment.
"The traces have been erased!" said George, surprised, "and the makers have thought a lot." ”
"If everyone knew that there was such a thing, it would definitely be known. Fred thought for a moment and said, "It should be to prevent others from seeing the secret of the parchment."
"You say, did Filch figure out how to use this parchment? He knew more about the location of the secret passages than any of the other students. "And why did he keep the parchment in a drawer, if I would have carried it with me?" ”
"I don't know, no matter what, anyway, the map belongs to us now, do you want to tell anyone else. George: The others here are Albert and Lee Jordan.
"Not yet. After thinking about it, Fred shook his head and said, "The less people know, the better." ”
"Don't forget, Albert knew about it. "He must know what we took from Filch." ”
"But if we don't say it, he certainly doesn't know there's such a thing. Fred raised an eyebrow.
Actually, the two don't mind sharing the map with the others, but they are also worried that they will lose this good thing with a big mouth.
"Don't think too much about it, let's go, let's go and see the other secret passages first. The twins looked at each other and walked away with their shoulders on their backs.
"Who do you say the maker of this map of living spots: Moon Face, Worm Tail, Big Foot, and Pointed Fork?"
"I think they're former Hogwarts students. George raised his hand to the head of the light statue, and soon opened a secret passage.
"Hurry up, someone's coming this way. Fred, who was staring at the map, reminded the wind.
After the two hurriedly entered the secret passage, the statue was restored.
"Where does this secret passage lead?" George let his wand glow, but unfortunately, his glowing charm had not yet been fully mastered, and it would suddenly go out after a while.
"Fifth floor. Fred couldn't help but complain, "You haven't mastered the glowing spell yet!"
"It's as if you've mastered it. ”
