Chapter 24: Map of Living Spots

After handing over a suitcase of fertilizer to Professor Sprout, Hope went back to his dorm room to take a shower and change his clothes, wondering why he hadn't learned the Cleansing Charm in the first place.

Fetching a piece of letter paper and a quill from his desk, Hope wrote down the clues he had received from Hagrid, which had hidden Hagrid and the three-headed dog, saying that he had heard some magical beasts chatting in the Forbidden Forest, and that his father, Joey, knew he could communicate with animals anyway.

After finishing the writing, Hope suddenly remembered that he had also sent a letter to his mother Teresa, asking about alchemy, and his mother had not replied to him so far, so Hope added another sentence to the end of the letter, about his mother's receipt of the letter.

After finishing writing, Hope rubbed his hungry stomach, he hadn't eaten lunch yet, looking at the clock on the wall at past one o'clock, it was past dinner, but fortunately he knew where the kitchen was. Let's go find something to eat before class. His two unreliable roommates didn't know where to go, and their clothes had to be washed in the laundry room, although his wizard robe could be guarded against three things, and he couldn't stand it.

Envelope the envelope and bring it with the textbook, this time you can't forget to take it again, the herbal medicine class is half theory and half practice. All the way to the kitchen, the house-elves were still so enthusiastic, and after eating a special large sandwich, Hope set off for the greenhouse.

In the corridor on the basement floor, Hope found two figures sneaky, this corridor usually does not have many people, but there is a secret passage leading to the castle courtyard, or Hope found it in the castle before, he knows that the castle has many unexpected secret passages, so in some corners he will always subconsciously look to see if there is a secret passage, which also made him find a few by mistake.

With those two red hairs, you don't have to guess who Hope already knows. At this time, the two were pointing at a painting, not knowing what they were discussing.

"Fred, George, what are you two doing?" Hope asked curiously.

Fred and George were startled when they suddenly heard someone calling them, this place was rarely visited, and when they turned their heads to find Hope, they sang and said in harmony with some excitement:

"This is not the inventor of the Rainbow Fluorescent Charm." (George)

"Little professor of metamorphosis." (Fred)

"The Gryffindor Spy who infiltrated Hufflepuff." (George)

"Mr. Hope Lloyd?" (in unison)

Hearing so many nicknames, Hope is full of black lines, where is this, when did he have so many nicknames.

"What are you doing here, don't you have classes in the afternoon?"

George and Fred looked at each other and said in unison, "We are under a great test. ”

Hope looked at the two of them, looking at the parchment in George's hand, could it be a map of the living spots? To confirm his suspicions, he asked, "Is it the parchment you have in your hand?" ”

George exclaimed: "It's worthy of a little professor, you will be discovered at once, and as a reward, you will be able to see this magical magic item." ”

George and Fred spread out the parchment, and George took his wand and put it against the parchment, saying, "I solemnly swear!" ”

Suddenly, a map of Hogwarts Castle appeared on the parchment, with the locations of many secret passages and how to open them, and the name of the maker was written on the map: "Moon Face, Worm Tail, Big Foot, Pointed Fork." "The main thing is that there are a lot of small moving footprints on it, and each person's name is marked underneath the footprints.

Hope looked at the map in surprise, it was really a live map.

George and Fred were very satisfied with Hope's surprised expression, and said proudly, "How is it?" Amazing, right? "Thanks to it, we don't get caught on the night tour." Then he said with some regret: "But we only know half of the spells now, and we can only use them for thirty minutes." ”

Hope remembered his previous idea of making a map, and with the help of this map, he should save a lot of trouble, so Hope talked to George and Fred about the map he wanted to make.

When the two heard it, they were pleasantly surprised: "Cool, what a great idea, so that no one will get lost in the future!" Maybe you could add a little more danger detection to make it more interesting. ”

That's right, who said that the map can only point the way, he can add a function to monitor malice, or when he is in the wild, he can monitor the dangerous creatures around him, and sure enough, there are more people to think, and he will find a few more people to join in in the future.

But not now, he has an empty idea now, he doesn't have the ability to realize it, he still has to study, his mother doesn't reply to him, and there is no alchemy teacher in the school, he can only find some general alchemy books to read, and it looks very difficult without a learning route.

Headmaster Dumbledore must be proficient in alchemy, he remembers that Professor Dumbledore and Nick Mailer are good friends, why don't you go to the Headmaster and ask?

Shaking off the clutter of small thoughts in his mind, Hope asked, "I wonder if I can borrow this map then?" I can help you get tested together. He couldn't remember the full incantation, as if it were 'I solemnly swear that I have no ill intentions.'

George and Fred naturally agreed: "Of course there is no problem, but the test is not necessary, we are almost finished." ”

He still wanted to join in the fun, so he didn't participate if he wasn't allowed to participate, by the way, Hope suddenly remembered that he still had classes to attend, and hurriedly said: "It's not early, I still have classes, so I'll go first." ”

George and Fred asked suspiciously, "There is no classroom in this direction, what class do you take?" ”

Hope walked over to a pair of armor and said, "Herb class, there's a secret passage that leads to the courtyard!" Hope fumbled for a raised stone behind the armor, and pressed hard, the wall instantly turned into a revolving door, and Hope walked in, waved his hand at George and Fred, and said, "I'll go first, goodbye!" ”

George and Fred looked in amazement at the vanished Hope and the restored walls.

George spoke, "Looks like our Gryffindor spies aren't resting. ”

Fred nodded in agreement, "Indeed, who in the right place would find a secret passage at Hogwarts." ”

The two looked at the map in their hands and said in surprise: "This is a brand-new secret passage, there is no one on the map!" ”

After being surprised, the two glanced at each other and suddenly laughed: "Fred (George), it seems that we can improve the map a little more!" ”

In a bush in the courtyard, Hope suddenly emerges, unbeknownst to George and Fred, when they discover that Hogwarts has secret passages they don't know about, completing the map has become another of their great pleasures.

All the way to Professor Sprout's greenhouse, Professor Sprout has thoughtfully prepared the props for class, a juvenile devil's net for each person, as well as a small poke of fertilizer, gloves and a set of farm tools with a small rake and a small shovel.

Hope thought that although the Hufflepuff common room was in the basement, Hogwarts Castle was built on an uneven hill, so their bedroom was not underground, and their bedroom was facing the sun, with plenty of sunlight shining into their bedroom, why not plant something in the dormitory? Otherwise, the balcony is bare, how unsightly.
