The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 316 Traitor and Secret

Sending the Marauder's Map to Harry was something Ada and the twins had discussed long ago.

Based on the analysis of Harry's past behavior and activities, the desire for Hogsmeade is likely to make him do some impulsive things.For example, put on your own invisibility cloak and sneak out of the school while everyone is not paying attention.

Instead of letting Harry do this, it is better to give him some help and give him the Marauder's Map.At least Harry could get to Hogsmeade through the secret passage instead of wandering under the nose of a dementor.

Moreover, the Marauder's Map can monitor Hogwarts in real time. As long as Black appears in the school, his name will be on the map and his trace will be seen.

This is also a big security guarantee for Harry.

Although Ada has successfully copied the Marauder's Map and is trying to make new products beyond the Marauder's Map, the twins still love the original map.You know, Ron is the younger brother of the two of them, and neither of them said it was given to little Ronnie.

The younger brother, Ronald Billys Weasley, is the poorest kid in the Burrow.

Harry looked at everything on the parchment in amazement, and was a little speechless with excitement. At this moment, he absolutely loved the twins!And Harry's appearance of having never seen the world also greatly satisfied the vanity of the twins.

good for everyone.Hello everyone, is really good.

Fred pointed out the secret passages one by one with his finger. He first pointed out the four secret passages that Filch knew, and then pointed out the most recommended one to Harry.

"This is the one leading to the Honeydukes cellar, and it is also our most recommended one. Don't consider the one behind the mirror on the fifth floor," Fred pointed to Ada, and continued, "It was destroyed by that traitor, One spell blows up."

Harry's eyes widened in an instant, feeling more than twice as big as usual. He was still too young, and his knowledge of the wizarding world was still superficial.Harry, don't treat your eyes so roughly, someone will be heartbroken.

"Cough...cough, don't listen to his nonsense." Ada explained, what if Dumbledore asks him for compensation, "The secret passage has existed for too long, and the cause of the collapse is also due to disrepair, and I'm fine."

But Harry felt that this was Ada's sophistry, and this explanation was so pale that Filch would not believe it.

These days, no one even believes the truth. It is true that Ada did not blow up the secret passage, she just accelerated the process of the collapse of the secret passage.

Harry took the Marauder's Map from George, and Harry couldn't put it down because of this magical map.

He saw Filch and Mrs. Norris patrolling the third floor, saw Snape staying motionless in his office, and saw Dumbledore pacing in the headmaster's office, and there was a familiar name beside the headmaster Newt Scamander.

With this map, everything in Hogwarts seems to be under control.

"Did you like this Christmas present?" George asked with a grin, Harry's face showed how much he liked it, but George had to ask.

"Of course, there's nothing better than this!" Harry still didn't take his eyes off the map when he was talking. The appearance of the Marauder's Map improved Harry's bad mood after his broomstick broke.

"Moonface, Wormtail, Padfoot, Prongs." George patted the title of the map and sighed, "Thanks to them."

"Noble man, working tirelessly to help a new generation of offending students," said Fred solemnly.

Harry also echoed what the two of them said, and kept nodding.But in reality Harry was so engrossed in the Marauder's Map that he didn't even notice what the twins were saying.

If the twins had a better heart, Harry would nod without hesitation even if he wanted hundreds or thousands of Galleons now.This is the charm of the Marauder's Map, and this is the masterpiece of the Marauders.

The three boys were cordially exchanging their experience on using the Marauder's Map, and Ada was in a daze with her arms crossed.She shouldn't have come to join in the fun. She might as well go to Honeydukes when she has time. The new chocolates in the store are very suitable for her taste.

The Marauder's Map excited Harry, and he thanked the twins and the four creators from the bottom of his heart.

What Harry didn't know was that when the map was handed over to him, it could be regarded as returning it to its original owner.Prongs, one of the four makers of the map, was none other than Harry's father, James Potter.

Moonface is Remus Lupine, Wormtail is Peter Pettigrew, Prongs is James Potter, and the rest of Padfoot is wanted fugitive Sirius Black.

Harry didn't know about it, neither did the twins, not even Ada.

Although Ada knew something about the relationship between these four people and the fact that Lupine was a werewolf, Ada didn't know their nicknames, nor did she know that they were illegal Animagus.

Everything Ada learned was from Dumbledore.If there was something that Dumbledore didn't know, Ada naturally wouldn't know either.

If Dumbledore were so omniscient, he would know that Sirius could turn into a big black dog, that Peter Pettigrew could turn into a mouse, and that James had changed the Secret Keeper for the Fidelity Charm.

Things in this world are always so coincidental that no one knows why they kept Dumbledore from it, and no one knows why Lupine still hasn't revealed this secret to this day.

If they didn't choose to hide, but told the truth, would everything be different because of their honesty?
Unfortunately, there has never been an if in this world. Everyone has to keep moving forward and pay the corresponding price for every choice he makes.

The ecstatic Harry finally got rid of the charm of the Marauder's Map. He regained his senses and resisted the temptation of the map. He asked, "You gave me the Marauder's Map. What will you do in the future?"

At Hogwarts, Ada had been selling navigation maps for several years, and Harry had bought them.But neither the basic version nor the customized VIP version has such powerful functions as the Marauder's Map.

Harry felt the map was equally important to Ada and the twins.

"Just put it away with peace of mind, we've memorized the contents above." Fred nodded his head lightly, "It's all kept here, and you can take it whenever you need it."

"Secretly, we are working on an upgraded version of the Marauder's Map." George whispered in Harry's ear, "We plan to fully upgrade the Marauder's Map to improve its existing functions."

For the early Ada and the twins, the Marauder's Map is indeed very important, and their love for maps is no less than that of Harry now.But as time goes by, the shortcomings of the Marauder's Map are gradually exposed.

The Marauder's Map didn't show the secret room, nor did it plot the Room of Response. Although it could show everything about the school in real time, it couldn't record it automatically, and couldn't make any reminders. Someone had to keep watching it.

The functional imperfection makes it unable to meet the current needs of the three of Ida.

Perhaps because he was not the creator, Ada always felt that they did not have the highest authority on the Marauder's map, and could not let the map show all the content.This gave birth to the idea of ​​the three of Ada to make a map of their own.

Hearing what Fred and George said, Harry accepted the gift with peace of mind, a gentleman does not take what others like.

Harry thought this would be the best Christmas present he had received this year, and he said sincerely: "Thank you, thank you for the presents!"

"Young man, enjoy the happiness it brings you!" George patted Harry on the shoulder while putting on the expression of an old co-driver.

"Okay, little Harry," Fred said in a strange tone, "remember to use it carefully, and don't be caught by Prefect Drizzt! Otherwise, you will be locked up!"

Ada, who was in a daze, was described as a strange aunt who abducted Zhengtai, but she didn't care about the twins for the time being, and she would let the two brothers know what happened to offending her in a while.

Ada blinked at Harry, and said softly, "See you in Hogsmeade, remember to bring your invisibility cloak."
