A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 290 Get the Map
In the evening, Felix walked down the corridor underground of the castle with a candy box.

"Professor Haip—"

Felix looked at Draco Malfoy, and the two big boys behind him, and nodded at them.

"Professor, I have mastered a new rune." Draco said excitedly, he stretched out his right hand, the ring of ouroboros on the index finger began to swim, and spit out a light blue rune symbol from the snake's mouth.

Holding the rune symbol, his face flushed slightly, and after seven or eight seconds, the light blue symbol blurred into a handful of gurgling water.

"You're making rapid progress. I remember this is the sixth rune you have mastered?"

"Yes, Professor."

"Well," Felix reminded after thinking for a while, "Pay more attention to the runes mentioned in the previous gatherings, they will be very useful."

Draco froze for a moment, "I see, Professor."

Felix continued to walk forward with the candy box, and Malfoy shouted behind him: "Professor Haip, are you going to the dean's office? I just saw that the door is locked."

"Maybe Severus is brewing a potion? Anyway, I'd better check it out," he said vaguely.

Draco looked at the back of Professor Haipu going away, and said to himself: "I always feel that the professor is a little weird today?"

Crabbe and Goyle smirked flatteringly, Draco was used to this kind of scene, he shrugged, and took the lead in the direction of the lounge, "You say, Daphne's sister, the one named Astoria, what's going on……"

In the Potions professor's office, Felix tried a few lockpicking spells and opened the door.

He walked in as if no one else was there, the place was not too small, apart from the office space, there was also Snape's private storage room and the innermost bedroom.

He walked through the dimly lit glass specimen wall and pushed open the bedroom door, which was in full bloom.

"Severus, I'm taking care of your face in front of your students, if they watch you brought back by the Levitation Charm... Tsk tsk!"

He opened the candy box - the same one Sirius had used, and inside it lay an unconscious, palm-sized man, Severus Snape.

"Mrs. Rosmerta is still curious about why you, a living person, suddenly disappeared. Fortunately, I prevaricated."

He tapped his wand to bring Snape back to his original shape, and then used the Levitation Charm to place him on the bed, Snape's wand next to the pillow.

Snape rolled over, muttering, talking drunkenly.

the next day.

Felix had kept the Weasley twins after his fifth-year Ancient Runes class.

"The Marauder's Map?" The twins looked at each other in dismay, communicating with each other with various small gestures.

Felix could see that there was something to it!

Fred said hesitantly, "Professor, this is our—"

"—from Mr. Filch." Felix nodded.

"Uh..." Fred's expression was a little embarrassed, "You know everything?"

"I know a little bit. What I care about most is whether it is still in your hands?"

"We gave it to—" said George, and Fred quickly covered his mouth, winked desperately, and said to Felix, "We gave it to a friend. If it's useful to you, we'll give it to you." Get it back, don’t worry, there will be no delay.”

George blinked and realized that they had given Harry the Marauder's Map, and Harry had used the Marauder's Map to go to Hogsmeade in violation of the prohibition, so I couldn't go into details about it.

Although they often violate school rules, they should try to avoid self-blaming their shortcomings.

"You know Moonface, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs, don't you?" Felix asked.

The twins' eyes widened, and Fred said in surprise, "You know that too? Professor, you're not one of these four, are you?"

"Or the previous map user?" George guessed.

Felix smiled, "I didn't have this opportunity when I was in school, but I know two of them, and today I was entrusted by one of them to borrow the Marauder's Map for a while. Don't worry, I will return it to you of……"

There was light in Fred's eyes, and he kept rubbing his hands: "Oh~ Professor, can you introduce him to us?"

"Yeah, which one? We owe them a lot!" George asked eagerly.

"I can only tell you that that person's code name is Padfoot. As for whether he would like to meet you," Felix looked at their longing faces, "it's definitely not right now, it's not convenient for him to show up."

He looked at the twins with great interest. Their expressions were like pilgrims. It could be seen that although they had never met, the two had already regarded the map maker as a predecessor and role model for mischief.

They ran away in a hurry, "Professor, let's go first and find a map!"

At noon that day, Felix got the Marauder's Map. For the first time, he got a glimpse of the whole map. Before that, he had only heard the sound but never seen the map.

It was a rather old piece of parchment. It didn't look big, but it was actually folded in layers. When it was unfolded, it looked like a tablecloth.

"This is the secret of our success." Fred patted it emotionally, sighing, with an expression of recalling the youthful years.

Felix smiled but said nothing.He tapped his wand on the map and said silently in his heart: I solemnly swear that I have done nothing wrong.

This is the password he got from Sirius. Sirius can only stay in Grimmauld Place now, but for the convenience of reading in his free time, Felix secretly connects the fireplace in the office with Black's old house, and then Open it when you use it, and seal it when not in use to avoid being noticed by the Ministry of Magic.

Lupine also agreed to visit Sirius on the weekend, and when he left, Sirius and old Kreacher, the house-elf, were busy cleaning.

In the words of Sirius: "At least clean up the living room, and prepare two bedrooms for guests."

With the password and the wand, on the blank parchment, dark ink lines emerged like a spider web. They intersected and extended, and with a few strokes, they outlined the buildings in the Hogwarts castle and some surrounding areas, including the outside of the castle. The greenhouse, Hagrid's hut, the edge of the forbidden forest, all kinds of details are available.

Most striking, however, is the sheer number of dots of ink moving haphazardly across the map, each with a name in tiny letters next to it.

Felix found his name at first glance. Next to it, there were two other dots, which said Fred Weasley and George Weasley.

He looked all the way, Dumbledore was in the study, Snape was in the Potions classroom, and Professor Sprout was in the greenhouse. He also wanted to check the location of the Room of Requirement, but he couldn't find it, maybe it was blocked. This was expected and not surprising, but by the way, he saw Trelawney wandering alone in his small attic. From the trajectory of the ink dot, he guessed that the divination professor seemed to be doing some kind of dance. .

Above the middle of the parchment began to emerge a cursive lettering: Mister Moonface, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs, Supplies to Makers of Magical Mischief Proudly present the Marauder's Map.

Felix rubbed the map, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses.

"It's a very ingenious structure, I need to take a closer look..."
