Chapter 39: Living Point Map (Woo Woo, Fired from the Company)
Justin is petrified!
At the same time, there was also Nick, who was almost headless.
A horrific attacker who could even be harmed by the already dead Nick, and even worse, Harry was once again, so coincidentally, at the scene of the crime.
And I've been caught!
Now, he was taken by Professor McGonagall to Dumbledore's office.
Cyrus squeezed into the crowd as he bit a slice of bread, pretending to be unaware of the commotion.
"You're here just in time for Ginny!" Ron saw him as if he had seen a savior, and it was not hard to see from the look in his and Hermione's eyes that the two of them were expecting some useful information from Cyrus.
"Ginny, you went out with Harry, did you find anything?" Ron asked eagerly.
"None? I went straight to the restaurant. ”
Hearing this, Ron immediately showed a disappointed expression. Hermione explained what Sellers knew best.
"If we hadn't known Harry, we might have thought he was the murderer."
"Harry Potter is George the heir of Slytherin!" Fred shook his head with a smile as he looked at his brother. George was just as ridiculous as he was, but they thought it was funny.
"Harry Potter, the most evil wizard in the world, is a Gryffindor, and we've defeated all of Slytherin!" "It's a pity," said George, "that it's never that coincidental, or we would have found out who the attacker was." ”
George and Fred's words immediately gave Sellers an eye.
Live Point Map!
This artifact-like God's perspective map is perfect for finding criminals.
However, in order to prevent the matter of the map from being revealed, it is naturally impossible for the twins to take out the map all the time to look at it.
But what if?
What if the next time they're going to attack someone, they happen to have a map? Sellers can't guarantee that everything will follow the same trajectory as the original. And now Dumbledore doubted himself that if he was planning to escape from Hogwarts, maps would always come in handy.
Even just confirming Dumbledore's location would add a lot of insurance to him.
So, he immediately walked over to the twins and pulled them aside.
"What Ginny?"
"I always feel like she has bad intentions!"
"I'm your sister, what bad can I have?" Sellers said with an innocent face, "I ask you, how was I doing last night?" Did you clean up the Slytherin people hard? ”
"That's right!"
"You've made your brothers happy!" Fred and George immediately sang and recalled, reflecting on their performance at the dueling club Slytherin yesterday, and said, "I don't think they can hold their heads up for at least the whole year." ”
"A whole year? I dare say that as long as Ginny is still at Hogwarts, they will be affected! ”
"Since I'm doing so well, can you do me a favor?" Sellers showed them both the map of the Yan Kingdom, and now he was finally about to show his dagger.
It's just that the twins are not fooled at all.
"You cleaned up the Slytherin, what does it have to do with us?" Fred didn't have to think about it before he knew his sister was going to make some embarrassing request, "At the end of the day, that gorilla Flint wants to deal with you to get revenge on you. ”
"That's right! Even if you go back a little further, you're doing it for Ron's sake. So you should ask Ron for help. George said immediately.
"But before the Dueling Club began, you made me do it to the Slytherin students. And-" Cyrus stole a glance back at Ron, "do you really think Ron can help?" ”
The two brothers also subconsciously looked at the stupid Ron, and for a moment they felt that Cyrus's words could not be refuted.
"You convinced,"
"—especially the second half of the sentence!"
The two asked in unison, "Well, let's see what help our dear sister wants?" ”
"Remember the first day of school, when you saved me?"
"You mean the secret passage?" Fred pretended to be stupid.
"No!" Cyrus raised his voice, but feared that someone else would hear the conversation, so he lowered his voice again, "I mean your method of not seeing others but knowing where they are, maybe you can use it to find the real murderer!" ”
"Looks like our sister has her eye on the secret of our success, George!"
"I'm not surprised, but no!" George said immediately.
In fact, Cyrus's statement coincided with what they had in mind in the first place, and they actually tried.
"There's no way Ginny, no one knows when that heir will attack, you can't keep an eye on the map forever."
"Gotta try!" "Now that there are so many victims, and Harry has been wronged, we can't let the killers go on a rampage!" Give me! Or I'll tell Dumbledore! ”
Hearing this, Fred and George looked very hurt.
"Do you hear that? Our good sister is holding us hostage. ”
"Heard Fred, my ears are fine." George immediately responded with a sad face.
"If you don't want the professor to know, hurry up and take it out."
"Nope! We'd rather be known by professors. ”
Sellers didn't expect that when it came to this, they were still reluctant to show up the map. This made him very incomprehensible.
"Why? When I find the murderer, I'll give you back the map!" ”
"No way!"
"It's too dangerous, Ginny. We don't want to hear that you've been petrified. Dumbledore said that this petrification spell must be cast by someone who is proficient in the dark arts, and you, only in the first year! ”
Don't look at the twins as a bit heartless, but in fact, they still care about their sister.
"I'm better than both of you." Cyrus grimaced, "And you think I'm going to be safe after defeating and humiliating the Slytherin students?" If the Inheritor really came from Slytherin, he must hate me very much. ”
"But you're a pureblood." Fred faltered.
"I am! But there's no evidence that that person wouldn't do anything to purebloods, right? The writing on the wall reads, 'Haters of the heir, be cautious,' not 'Mudbloods, be cautious.' Cyrus's words made it impossible for the two of them to refute, "If I could know the location of someone else in advance, maybe I would know who was going to attack me, right?" ”
"Makes sense—well—" The two men hesitated for a moment, finally believing that Sellers was right.
Better an open enemy than a false friend.
"Give it to her, we're pretty close to it anyway." George nodded as well.
They then took Sellers outside the common room. The blizzard continued, it was very cold outside, and almost no one was still outside. However, just in case, the two of them found an empty classroom and locked the door.
Then Fred exaggerated a square piece of paper from his robe.
"Seriously, I'm reluctant to give it up."
"That's right—back then, we were only in the first grade, young, carefree, innocent—"
Sellers immediately laughed.
"—aha, more innocent than we are now—we had a bit of an awkward encounter with Filch then."
"So he pulled us into his office and started threatening us with his usual routine—"
"—and we couldn't help but aim at one of his filing cabinet drawers, which was marked 'confiscated, highly dangerous.'"
"Hey, what would you do if you switched?" "George threw another big bomb to distract him, and I immediately opened the drawer and caught -- this." ”
"It's not as bad as it sounds, you know," said George, "and we reckon Filch never figured out how to use it." But he probably guessed what it was, or he wouldn't have confiscated it. ”
"Do you know how to use it?
"Oh, I know." Fred smirked, "This little baby has taught us more than the whole school." ”
He drew his wand, tapped the parchment lightly, and said, "I solemnly swear that I will not do good deeds. ”
In an instant, thin lines of ink spread like spider webs from where the tip of George's wand touched, connecting and crisscrossing each other, extending to every corner of the parchment; Then the words appeared on the top, which were large green flowers:
Moon face, worm tail, big feet, and pointed fork
Gentlemen who help the magic pranksters
Introducing it
Live point map
This map depicts all the details of Hogwarts Castle and grounds, but the most unusual thing is that there are many small black dots moving around the map, each with a name in very small font.
"In addition to marking the location of each person, there are also many secret passages. The one we went to last time was the one that led to Hogsmeade. But we're worried that you'll get out alone, so we'll lie to you and say it's blocked inside. But for now, we'll have to admit that you're really good! ”
"Moon face, worm tail, big feet, pointed fork." George patted the caption of the map and exclaimed, "Thanks to them." ”
"Noble men, who work tirelessly to help a new generation of students who have violated discipline." Fred said solemnly.
"yes," George echoed briskly, "don't forget to get rid of it when you're done—"
"—or anyone else will be able to see it." Fred warned.
"Just tap it again and say, 'The prank is over!' It's a blank slate again. ”
"All right, little Ginny," said Fred, in a strange imitation of Percy, "you are so self-conscious! ”
After Cyrus took the parchment, he immediately changed to the same solemn expression, "Thank you, I'll return it to you when I'm done with it." ”
