Hogwarts: Harley from the Witch Path

Chapter 207 This is the right given to us by the oldest code of human beings, Professor Dumbledore
When Sirius and his father were in school, they once made a special map together.

For all creatures with names and surnames and certain living characteristics, the names will be displayed on the map, and the specific location and movement trajectory will also be marked.

Whether it is a strong person like Professor Dumbledore, a ghost like Peeves, or an ordinary animal like Mrs. Norris, they cannot avoid being marked on the map.

In order to let his prank career be inherited, Sirius and the others deliberately asked Filch to confiscate this map before graduation.

In order to catch Peter Pettigrew, Professor Lupine went to Filch to ask for this map.

It's a pity that Filch lost the map at some point, and even he himself only discovered it when Professor Lupine went to ask for it.

At that time, Professor Lupine mentioned to Sirius:
"Filch obviously put the Marauder's Map in the cabinet marked 'Confiscated Items, Highly Dangerous'."

Professor Lupine was probably talking about the cabinet in front of Harry.

Based on all kinds of information, Harley, you can basically confirm that the short man's identity is Peter Pettigrew.

Harry moved over and opened the surviving drawer.

Inside the drawer are stacks of neatly arranged files, which record the glorious deeds of the seniors and sisters of the past.

Harry also saw a letter in it, and the envelope said "Quick Spells, Correspondence Course for Introductory Magic".

Harry suddenly realized, no wonder Filch, as a Squib, could still hold a wand. It turned out that he had signed up for this class.

This kind of quick spell reciting course for squibs, almost cheating money, usually gives leeks a magic wand.

But that kind of wand is only made by wand craftsmen who can't sell it in normal business, and it is simply useless in quality.

"Although the wand is not very good, it is a wand after all." Harry's silvery fingertips ran across the surface of the envelope,

"Peter Pettigrew has a wand, and the danger has risen again."

After knowing the information she wanted to know, Harry turned around and left the room without hesitation, heading towards Professor Snape's office.

When approaching the door of Professor Snape's office, Harry stopped again.

At this point in time, although the deans are patrolling, it cannot be ruled out that Professor Snape has set up surveillance magic in his office.

Anyway, this is the only way to lead to Professor Snape's office, and the same goes for backtracking here.

After being busy for a while, Halle got the information she needed again:

Holding a pile of materials, the short man sneaked out of Professor Snape's office.

"I'm exhausted." Harley finished the backtracking, stabilized his somewhat illusory body, and prepared to go back to rest.

But as soon as she turned around, her expression froze.

Two powerful auras suddenly broke into his range of perception.

"Good evening, Harry." An old man looked at himself with a smile, and a golden-red firebird stood on his shoulder.

And the flames on Firebird's body were slowly dissipating, obviously just using apparition.

Fox combed his feathers with his mouth, and glanced at Halle sympathetically.

Harry suddenly realized that his backtracking ability did not show Professor Dumbledore's figure, so he didn't know what he did.

If Professor Dumbledore had planted surveillance magic in Filch's office and in the corridor outside Professor Snape's office, he would have no way of knowing.

"...good evening, Professor Dumbledore."

After a moment of silence, Harry raised his hand in greeting, with an awkward smile on his face.

"It's a pretty good night, isn't it?"

Professor Dumbledore didn't seem to feel the strangeness of the surrounding atmosphere at all,
"I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk."

"But I never thought that you would have the same hobbies as an old man like me."

"Are you using the patron saint as your body to carry your own consciousness for a walk? It's an interesting choice."

Without batting an eye, Harley typed up the draft in an instant:
"Actually, Professor Dumbledore, I'm not here for a walk, but to find that damned Death Eater, Sirius Black."

"You know, he gave Voldemort information that led to the deaths of my parents."

"So I want to grab him with my own hands and collect part of the debt for my parents this Halloween."

The corner of Professor Dumbledore's mouth twitched when he heard Harry's last words:
"Child, I think these matters can be handed over to the Ministry of Magic. His crimes should be decided by the Ministry of Magic in accordance with the law."

"But this belongs to Europe, Professor Dumbledore." Harry's voice suddenly became a little stiff,

"In Europe, both Muggles and wizards support the oldest legal code, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."

"Bloody revenge is a matter of course, dear professor, and no one has the right to interfere."

Professor Dumbledore didn't know what to say for a while, and finally changed the subject abruptly:
"Harry, I've heard Professor Lupine mention that you have mastered the Patronus Charm."

"It seems that you have a better grasp of the situation than I guessed."

"I don't remember that I wrote in my notes the advanced application of using the patron saint to carry consciousness. I didn't expect you to develop it yourself."

"Yes, Professor." Harry nodded, gently holding a snake hair against his cheek with his hand,
"Your notebook gave me a lot of inspiration. I easily summoned the formed patron saint with pleasant memories."

"However, as you can see, my patron saint is a bit special. It is a magical animal that is almost a mythical creature, the legendary Medusa."

"It's amazing, Harry, do you know what it means to have a Patronus in magical animal form?"

Professor Dumbledore's eyes were full of inquiry and inexplicable meaning,

"Although there are very few samples, I still tried to conduct research and made a certain guess—the Patronus should be the same as the Animagus form."

"For example, Professor McGonagall, her patron saint and Animagus form are both tabby cats. The same is true for several other Animagus."

"And the Patronus in the form of a magical animal... I think you should know that wizards cannot become Animagus in the form of a magical animal at present."

"And none of the wizards I know of who have patron saints of magical animals has any record of being Animagus."

Having said that, Dumbledore stared closely at Harry's silver eyes:
"Harry, I have nothing to warn you about the Patronuses in fantastic animal form."

"But if you want to learn Animagus, you must be cautious."
