William and the others looked at the map helplessly.

The mapmaker seems to have thought of all the decryption spells, enough to prevent the little wizard from forcibly cracking the map.

But without knowing the secret order, he couldn't use the map freely, and he couldn't spy on Snape's medicine pantry for long periods of time to find out who was attacking.

William stared at the map without speaking.

George comforted: "It's okay, William, it's a big deal that we will increase the frequency of pranks, although it is slower, but sooner or later we will be able to complete the thousand small goals released by the map." ”

But William's dark green pupils were still staring at the map, as if thinking about something.

"What's wrong, William?" Cedric asked. "What do you think?"

"There are indeed some." William asked, "I remember that the way to get the secret order is not the only one, right?" ”

George dragged his chin and said, "That's true, but William, I don't think there's anything missing from this map." ”

Of course, there is more than one way to crack this map.

The fastest way is to use powerful magic to unravel directly and violently.

But that requires a very powerful confusion spell to confuse the map, and William and the four of them can't even use the confusion charm, let alone confuse the map.

The second way to crack it is to complete a certain number of difficult pranks according to the requirements of the map, and the map will automatically tell the password.

This is the stupidest way.

It is also the only way that several people are sure.

If the Weasley brothers continue to play high-intensity pranks, they will probably be able to accomplish this task next year.

The third is to find secrets that the mapmaker doesn't know.

As George said, it's hard!

This map shows what the makers knew about Hogwarts, and they were confident that Hogwarts had no reservations about them, no secrets.

They are also confident that there is no such thing as an area that has not been explored.

If someone is able to find out that they didn't find the secret, then the map will automatically render the secret as well.

But since William brought it up, there should be some idea.

George took out his wand and pointed to the parchment: "The map shows." ”

Soon, thin lines of ink like spider webs began to appear from the place where the wand had just touched.

The lines converge and intersect each other, extending to every corner of this parchment; Then the writing began to appear above the parchment, in large curved green letters, and they were:

"Magical Mischief - Living Point Map.

Proudly presented by the Marauders – Moon Face, Wormtail, Big Foot and Pointed Fork. ”

Underneath is a line of small emerald green letters: "Pointed fork greetings Mr. Weasley, please give the secret order." ”

"I'm going to play a prank." Fred said seriously, and then showed a flattering smile, "Mr. Pointed Fork, you have always been so handsome, and when you were in school, I think there were many girls who liked you. ”

As if an invisible hand was writing on that piece of parchment, the map was written: "The big foot stiffened slightly, indicating that he was in agreement and expecting something." ”

George laughed, "Of course, Mr. Bigfoot is also very handsome. ”

The parchment was written again: "The secret order is wrong, but the pointed fork and the big foot approve of Mr. Weasley's assessment." ”

"So you'll get a fifty-five minute map access, so make the most of your prank time."

The handwriting faded completely, and the map showed all the details of Hogwarts Castle and the various grounds.

William stared at the map.

Tiny dots of ink that move along the map, each dot of ink, with a name in tiny letters.

A small ink dot in the upper left corner shows Professor Dumbledore pacing around the office.

Filch's cat, Mrs. Loris, was pausing in the hallway on the eighth floor, seemingly sniffing the floor.

Peeves, a pester-loving ghost, is hopping around the prize room.

But on the entire map, the names of William's four people are not displayed!

It's as if they've been wiped off the map!

William smiled, "It's really as I thought." ”

Several people gathered around the map, and Cedric soon noticed the anomaly, and he was surprised: "No our names? ”

"This is the first time this has happened."

George had a stern face, very serious, like Professor McGonagall.

He had always thought that this map was omnipotent, and maybe even a treasure left over from the Big Four from a thousand years ago, like the Sorting Hat.

Of course, if it is really the treasure left by the Big Four, there is no doubt that Gryffindor made this map.

But now it doesn't seem to be!

George was disappointed, feeling like his faith was collapsing, but he had always regarded the Marauder as a life coach.

Fred also sighed, "It seems that they didn't find a room for the pointed forks." ”

Cedric stared at it for a long time and said, "It's not necessarily that he didn't find the Room of Requirement, or it could be that this room has been cast 'unmapable'." ”

"Undrawable" is a special spell that can be used to hide an area of the world.

Any location that is "unmapable" is not directly visible or simply cannot be marked on the map.

Locations that cannot be plotted are usually wizards' residences and magic schools.

Sparton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Durmstrang House, and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are all non-plotterable, and they use powerful magic to protect their students and their secrets from Muggles and dark wizards.

Similarly, the famous Azkaban is located on an "unmapable" island in the heart of the North Sea, isolating it from the rest of the world.

William shook his head: "This house may really be 'unpaintable', but I think it's a Marauder Foursome, and I didn't find a Room of Need." ”

"How?"

William analyzed, "You see, maybe many years ago, there were four same students who were just as keen to discover the secrets of Hogwarts as we were.

So I ask you, George, if it were you, thinking that you have all the secrets of Hogwarts, what would you think during the night tour? ”

"I'd like to find a 'secret passage or room that I've never found before.'"

William laughed, "yes, it's only when you really need a Room of Requirement." ”

"You try to find a room that you haven't been discovered, and if the Room of Demand responds to your request and appears in front of you, at that moment, the room is no longer a room that hasn't been discovered.

This logical paradox is an invalid order, so it is never shown in front of a few people. ”

(PS1 first update, ask for recommendation votes.) ）

(PS2 above is just my own analysis, no one knows everything about Hogwarts, and the Marauder Quartet is no exception.)

The most direct evidence, [Order of the Phoenix Chapter 17] Harry sought a hidden place for DA to practice Defense Against the Dark Arts,

Sirius's first reaction was the screaming shed, and then the secret passage on the fifth floor, all of which were denied, and he couldn't think of anything better.

If he knew that there was a room for requirement, his first reaction would definitely be that there was a house of requirement, such as Dobby. ）
