Hogwarts: This wizard wants to make progress too much
#16 - Section 16
"But how did you see through my Disillusionment Charm?"
My spell level shouldn't be this bad!
To actually be seen through by a third-year wizard.
"It's this. It clearly shows every wizard within Hogwarts. Look, Filch is searching around like a headless fly down there, while we're already on the fifth floor."
Fred pulled out a piece of parchment and pointed it out to Ethan. At this moment, the names of the four of them were together.
This was discovered in Filch's office last school year. It told them many of Hogwarts' secret passages and greatly helped with their nighttime adventures.
Looking at the names Prongs, Moony, Wormtail, and Padfoot on it, it really is the Marauder's Map. I just didn't expect them to get it so early.
It seems like it appeared in the third year in the original story.
Chapter 29: Fred and George
"We think you shouldn't have been sorted into Ravenclaw, but rather Gryffindor."
"Really, I've never seen a wizard sneak out at night right after entering school. Even we only dared to do that a month later!"
The twins said one after another. When they saw Ethan's name appearing brightly in the Great Hall, they couldn't believe their eyes.
A Ravenclaw sneaking out at night right after school started?
They even suspected that the Sorting Hat had a problem. This performance is definitely a standard Gryffindor. Too brave.
Since obtaining the Marauder's Map, according to their observations, Gryffindor has the largest night-wandering team. Besides the two of them and Lee Jordan, who is occasionally pulled in, the other students are not peaceful.
Secondly, there are Slytherin students. They can also be found from time to time. Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff have almost none, except for a few exceptions.
"Actually, the Sorting Hat also said that I have the spirit of Gryffindor, but after thinking about it, I still chose Ravenclaw."
"Okay, you're a Hat Stall, you can't be judged by common sense, but we still think you should come to Gryffindor."
George said undeniably. A wizard who likes to sneak out at night and even hit a Slytherin is a waste of talent if he doesn't come to Gryffindor.
"You can't say that. Ravenclaw has many beautiful witches. You should admit that!"
Ethan gave the two of them a meaningful look.
"Pa!"
"Damn it, why didn't I think of this before? I should have let George go to Ravenclaw. His intelligence can prove that I'm smart."
Fred slapped his forehead suddenly.
Some students in the same grade are already in love, but the object is also a Gryffindor. Some also confessed to the Ravenclaw witches, but were rejected for the reason 'You're too stupid'.
"Why not you go?"
Fred looked at George. Although whether he can find a girlfriend in the future is important, Gryffindor is still the best academy in his heart.
"I'm the older brother. You should listen to me."
Fred patted George on the shoulder and said solemnly.
"You were just born a little earlier than me!"
"Okay, you two are born Gryffindors, you can't go to Ravenclaw!"
Ethan interrupted the two. Now is not the time to watch them play.
"You're right, we are born Gryffindors!"
The brothers said at the same time, the argument just now was just a joke.
"You just said that the Disillusionment Charm is useless. Filch shouldn't have this map, right?"
Ethan was still a little confused. The Disillusionment Charm is related to his nighttime plans.
Although Shadow Sneak is also useful, and Ethan also has the ability to cast spells without being noticed if he is not seen, it is inevitable that he will be seen by portraits when he comes out of the shadows. You must know that they are all alive. It would be troublesome if he told Dumbledore.
It's okay to sneak out at night normally. As long as he is not caught on the spot, Dumbledore will just smile it off when he knows, but using a spell that he has never seen before, and still a wizard who just entered school, this is a big problem.
No one will believe you if you say you invented it!
Even Snape invented the spell several years after entering school.
So Ethan used the Disillusionment Charm to sneak out at night.
"Last year, one of our Gryffindors was caught using the Disillusionment Charm. He said he was discovered by the cat. Mrs. Norris has Kneazle blood and has super keen intuition."
George explained.
"I see!"
Ethan knew that Kneazles are very sensitive.
In the original book, Hermione's cat Crookshanks also has Kneazle blood and can sense that Scabbers, the rat in the eyes of normal people, is not a good thing, but he didn't expect that he could also sense the Disillusionment Charm through intuition.
"Filch has gone to the first floor. We can go out!"
Fred glanced at the Marauder's Map and confirmed Filch's location.
"Amazing alchemy work. The people who made this are really geniuses!"
Ethan couldn't help but sigh.
Don't look at it as just a Marauder's Map, but it uses a lot of spells and alchemy knowledge.
It is true that the wizarding world is not as good as each generation. Snape invented several spells during his student days, including the dark magic Sectumsempra with great lethality.
The four Marauders, except for Lupin, who is a werewolf, are all illegal Animagi. They also completed it during school. Being able to be an Animagus already represents a very high understanding of Transfiguration. Being able to make the Marauder's Map can also prove their ability in spells and alchemy.
Looking at the current young wizards, who can complete Animagus or invent spells during school, they only know Expelliarmus every day.
I don't know if it has something to do with Dumbledore confiscating many books from the Restricted Section of the Hogwarts Library.
"This is indeed an amazing alchemy tool. I really want to meet them. Fred and I are also learning alchemy. We will definitely create better and more popular alchemy tools in the future."
Fred also nodded in agreement: "That's right, our ideal is to open a Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, and fill our joke shop with the products we invented."
"Do you know Zonko's Joke Shop and Gambol and Japes? They are the most popular shops in Hogsmeade Village and Diagon Alley respectively. Our ideal is to open a joke shop that surpasses them."
Speaking of which, George's eyes were full of longing. The two brothers had this idea since they first entered Zonko's Joke Shop.
And they have been saving money to prepare for opening a shop in the future, but there are too many brothers in the family, which leads to not much pocket money, and they have not saved much money so far.
"I believe you will definitely be able to open the best joke shop."
Ethan would not demean other people's dreams.
Besides, the Weasley twins did achieve this later on. Although they received funding from Harry, the core of their business was the products themselves.
Their Weasley's Wizard Wheezes was indeed very popular, even to the point where the Ministry of Magic would later purchase goods from them.
There's no need to doubt the talents of these two brothers. The creation of these joke products involved potions, alchemy, and various spells.
Integrating these elements together is no easy task. If the two had put this effort into improving their strength, their ending wouldn't have been so tragic.
Chapter 30: Fluffy
"We're planning to go to the fourth-floor corridor on the right today. There's definitely something there. Are you with us, Ethan?"
After chatting for a while, George got to the main point.
They don't go out for nighttime adventures every day. Today, they simply couldn't resist the temptation of Dumbledore's final words yesterday.
It's like Roger's last words before his death, 'Want my treasure? You can have it all if you want! Go find it! I've left all my treasure there!' and the attraction it held for pirates.
Dumbledore's words had a similar effect on these Gryffindor lions who possessed a so-called spirit of adventure and took pride in it.
"No, my target is the eighth floor!"
Ethan had nothing to hide. With the Marauder's Map, they could clearly see his location.
Although the Room of Requirement isn't on it, and people entering the Room of Requirement won't be displayed on the Marauder's Map, they would definitely be able to see the last place he disappeared.
"The eighth floor? The room opposite the tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy being clubbed by trolls?"
George asked with some surprise. Besides the Headmaster's office, that was the only thing he could think of on the eighth floor.
However, that room wasn't easy to find. They had only seen Dumbledore disappear in front of that wall through the Marauder's Map, and some house-elves would also disappear there, then suddenly reappear and be curious about it, which led to their discovery.
"Yes, that's the one. You know about it?"
Ethan was surprised. The twins knew about it too?
It seemed like Dobby told Harry about it in the original story. He worked at Hogwarts and heard it from other house-elves. He didn't expect it to be discovered so early.
"We use it as a base for developing products. How did you find out, Ethan?"
The twins exchanged a look. Their secret base had been discovered. They thought no other wizard would know about this location.
This room is really too useful. It can provide a place for brewing potions or practicing alchemy. It just can't directly provide Galleons, which is a bit of a pity for them.
"I found it in an old textbook filled with notes. It mentioned such a room."
He made up an excuse on the spot. Anyway, the Room of Requirement is a semi-public secret at Hogwarts. Not a small number of students have known about it over the past thousand years.
"Opposite the tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy being clubbed by trolls, just concentrate on what you need and walk past that wall three times, and a very smooth door will appear on the wall. Just go in."
Since Ethan knew about it, the twins didn't hide anything and shared their experience of entering.
"Okay, got it!"
Ethan nodded to confirm!
"Are you going to the fourth-floor corridor with us now, or heading straight to the eighth floor?"
Fred asked as they left the abandoned classroom!
"Dumbledore did say that there might be life-threatening dangers there."
The Mirror of Erised should still be in Dumbledore's office, and the Sorcerer's Stone shouldn't be there either, but Fluffy must already be there.
Fluffy, this thing is a XXXXX-level dangerous magical creature. An ordinary adult wizard would only be a snack in front of it. An underage wizard would just be delivering food. Isn't Old Dumbledore afraid of something happening?
He didn't know what Fluffy's position was in the XXXXX level, but the Runespoor required a hundred adult wizards to subdue it together. Even if Fluffy was a little weaker, it would still take more than a dozen adult wizards to take it down!
In the original story, Snape was bitten on the thigh. Maybe it was because he didn't want to kill Fluffy, or he was caught off guard and ambushed by Fluffy, but it also showed that this thing was not easy to mess with.
Fred retorted, "I don't think Dumbledore would really allow anything life-threatening to appear at Hogwarts. At most, it's just difficulties during the adventure."
George agreed, "That's right, we've been to the Forbidden Forest a few times, but we haven't encountered any danger."
It seemed that since the Weasley twins entered Hogwarts, Hagrid had a lot of headaches.
Their spirit of courting death was really awesome. There were definitely many dangerous animals in the Forbidden Forest, including several XXXXX-level ones. Especially after Hagrid moved in, it was just your good luck that you weren't eaten until nothing was left.
"I'll go with you, I'm quite curious too."
Since they had said so, if he didn't go, wouldn't he really be a 'crybaby'?
Following behind George and Fred, they were more familiar with Hogwarts.
Soon, they arrived at the right side of the fourth floor. After some searching, Fred confirmed that the locked door was the location Dumbledore mentioned.
"This is it, Alohomora!"
George took out his wand and cast an unlocking charm. There wasn't a lock in the entire Hogwarts that he dared not open.
Ethan's eyelids twitched as he watched from the side, and he still reminded them, "Wait, go in slowly, it's always good to be careful."
George turned around and spread his hands: "Ethan, are you so cautious?"
After saying that, he took the lead and walked in, with Fred following closely behind. This was really reckless. Should he say, as expected of Gryffindor?
As soon as Ethan came in, he found that George and Fred in front of him were not moving, and their bodies were still trembling.
Tilting his head, Ethan saw a three-headed dog sleeping in front of him, with drool flowing all over the ground from its three heads.
Just like in the movie, this thing was simply ugly. It didn't have the imposing manner of the legendary hellhound at all. Ethan suspected that this thing was a cross between a three-headed dog and a Cane Corso. The dog heads looked too much like Cane Corsos.
Fred trembled and said in a low voice, "This is Fluffy, I didn't expect it to be here."
"You know it?"
"I know it, but it shouldn't know me!"
Fred said while signaling everyone to get out quickly.
Because the three-headed dog had already started to raise its heads, obviously Ethan and the others had disturbed it.
