Chapter 69: What Will You Do?
"Mr. Chopper, why don't you follow the instructions in the book and grind the lionfish's bones into powder before adding them to the crucible?"
In Potions class, Snape stared at Kyle and said in a strange voice, "Do you think you are some kind of Potions genius, and you dare to tamper with the textbook?" ”
"Because of your arrogance, Hufflepuff deducts five points."
Kyle glanced up at the blackboard.
It is clearly written: The spines of the lionfish are not grinding, and they can be cut into sections by boiling water for five minutes.
Such a large letter, and it was written by Snape himself, how could it be that he tampered with the textbook.
"Professor......" Kyle said in a deep breath and in as normal a voice as he could, "that's what you wrote on the blackboard." ”
"Oh, that's where I made a mistake."
Snape waved his wand calmly, erasing the phrase from the blackboard,
"Am I necessarily right? As for your judgment, if I said that I wanted to add to my own tendon, would you do the same?
Because you're not assertive, Hufflepuff deducts three more points. ”
……
By the end of the lesson, Kyle's hand was clutching the rock loaf in his pocket, hesitating to throw it on the back of Snape's head.
Although Snape had been deducting points for no reason since he was very early on, today he was particularly excessive, and he did everything to deduct points, even without his face.
Can you still wipe what you wrote by yourself?
This kind of waist-breaking operation can be regarded as an eye-opener for Kyle.
Of course, the effect was immediate, and Kyle was deducted more than thirty points in just one lesson.
From the time he entered the school to the present, his other courses combined did not add up to the points deducted in today's class.
The other badgers came to comfort him, and even Connor kindly handed him a licorice candy.
Kyle took one look at it and chose to ignore it.
During the meal, Fred and George also heard about the Potions class, and deliberately ran over and patted Kyle on the shoulder, comforting, "It's okay, Snape has been deducting points from us, it's nothing." ”
"Yes, poof...... I mean, you have to look at the point. ”
The two of them spoke comforting words, but with undisguised smiles on their faces.
Obviously, they're here to see the jokes.
Just as Kyle was about to drive the two away, Fred leaned his head over and said in a low voice, "Okay, stop thinking about those unhappy things, and show you something good." ”
He looked around, and carefully pulled out a boxy piece of parchment from his pocket.
"Remember the other day I had something to tell you, this is it." George also leaned over and whispered, "A magical magical item, I dare say you would never guess what it is." ”
"Could it be ......" Kyle raised an eyebrow and said with a puzzled expression, "This is parchment that can automatically write homework?" ”
“……”
The twins, who were proud before, suddenly became a little stiff at this time.
"If I could......" Fred said, with a wistful look on his face, "I wish it was." ”
"But it's really great." George said, "It's a map of Hogwarts, of course, not the kind of ordinary goods you sell. ”
"We call it a live map."
As he spoke, Fred took out his wand and tapped it lightly on the parchment.
"I solemnly swear ......"
In an instant, thin lines of ink spread out like spider webs from where the tip of the wand touched, connecting to each other and expanding to every corner of the parchment.
Then a large green flower appeared on the top.
"Moon face, worm tail, big foot and pointed fork.
Gentlemen who help magic pranksters are hereby introduced-
Live point map. ”
Kyle took the parchment from Fred's hand and carefully examined the famous map of the living spots.
It depicts all the details of Hogwarts Castle in detail, and it is much more detailed than a normal map, almost a miniature of Hogwarts.
Anything that is in the castle, whether it's a painting, a carpet, or even a vase, can be found on the map.
Most unusually, there are also many small black dots moving around the map, each with a name in very small font.
Kyle saw Dumbledore in the Headmaster's room, and saw Filch and Peeves move quickly from the corridor on the fifth floor to the sixth floor.
It's all clear.
But if it's a crowded place...... For example, the current auditorium, not so good.
A large number of names overlapped each other, and it was so dark that I couldn't see anything clearly.
In addition, Kyle notices that the map doesn't seem to show all of the secret passages.
Because the location of the beating willow on the map is empty, there is nothing.
Kyle returned the map to Fred and asked, "How did you get it?" ”
"We were in first grade, young, carefree, innocent......" Fred and George squinted into the memory.
"Filch pulled us into his office and threatened to ...... us because of trivial things"
"Confinement."
"Disemboweled."
"And we couldn't help but aim at one of his filing cabinet drawers, which was marked with confiscation of items, highly dangerous."
Fred suddenly smiled and said, "Kyle, what would you do if you changed?" ”
Kyle thought for a moment and said, "I'll lure Peeves out there and provide him with enough big balls or pepper bombs to empty that drawer." ”
“……”
Fred and George opened their mouths and couldn't speak for a long time, and after a while, Fred shook his head and said, "Kyle, you deserve to be deducted thirty points by Snape, really, you are not wronged." ”
"Don't open any pot and mention which pot." Kyle gave him an annoyed look and said, "So you took this map from that drawer." ”
"Yes." George smacked his lips and said, "We don't have as much courage as you, so we only took this." ”
"But how do you know how to use it?" Kyle flipped through the parchment, "There's nothing written on it." ”
"Speaking of which...... You have to mention the moon face, the worm tail, the big foot and the pointed fork. Fred exclaimed, "These four are just mischievous geniuses. ”
"They took the password apart and hid it in every corner of the castle." George said, "As long as you find all the clues, you can get the full password." ”
"It's a pity that we've been looking for a year...... Fred regrets, "but we haven't been able to find the full password." ”
"So we can only use the map five times a day, and each time it's only half an hour." George said with a smile: "It's a great undertaking and we're going to take three years to complete it." ”
"What if you can't find it in three years." Kyle asked.
"That means we don't deserve it." George shrugged, "We'll find a new owner for it then." ”
"Yes." Kyle said, "So you showed it to me so that I could join you in the search for clues?" ”
"No, no, Kyle." Fred shook his head and said, "The password is a test for us by those four seniors, and we have to complete it ourselves." ”
"Then you ...... this time"
"Let's go on a night tour!" Fred and George said in unison.
