The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

"The Marauder's Map?"

"How did you know we had that?"

George and Fred exclaimed.

Link smiled and said nothing.

The three Harrys and others next to them looked confused.

After a long time, Emily frowned and said:

"What is the Marauder's Map?"

"A magical map that shows all the information about Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It not only shows the user every classroom, corridor and corner of the castle, but also shows the hidden secret passages. In addition, the castle The location information of everyone in the room will also be displayed using movable dots and names.”

Link explained seriously, "Of course, the most powerful thing about the Marauder's Map is that the name magic attached to it can ignore most of the hidden methods in the world, including polyjuice potion and transformation."

Hearing this, Emily's face finally showed some surprise. As the only daughter of the Victoria family and the leader of Slytherin, she knew very well what role the Marauder's Map could play.

In fact, in her previous life, Ms. Rowling personally admitted in an interview that she regretted creating a prop like the Marauder's Map because its ability was so buggy.

The reason why she wants to take the Marauder's Map away from Harry later is because if the Marauder's Map is there, the subsequent plot will not be able to develop.

On the other side, Harry and the other three were also shocked after listening to Link's explanation.

Ron looked at his two brothers in disbelief and said:

"You actually have such a good thing? But you never told me! We are brothers! Blood brothers!"

"Shut up! Ron!"

George and Fred scolded Ron in unison, then looked at Link with bared teeth and said, "What are you doing with the Marauder's Map?"

Link said:

"Of course I'm helping your little brother find his pet rat Spot."

"Link..."

Ron murmured, so moved that he almost cried. He really didn't expect that Link would go to such great lengths for him.

Then his eyes flickered between George Fred and Hermione and said:

"It seems that you are my real friend, Link. Compared with you, some guys who are unwilling to share treasures with their brothers and some irresponsible people who indulge their pets are really terrible!"

"What did you say! Ron!"*3

Ron was so frightened that he shrank behind Harry after being shouted at by the three of them.

Harry was also very funny. Facing the angry three people, he didn't even try to hide. He just helped Ron block them with an awkward smile on his face.

Fortunately, George and Fred didn't really mean to beat up Ron. After scaring Ron for a while, they turned their heads and looked at Link with a scrutinizing gaze and said:

"Link, as far as I know you don't know Ron very well, right? Why do you want to help him?"

"Because Harry came to ask me for help some time ago." Link spread his hands and said, "He said that Ron and Hermione were at loggerheads because of Scabbers, the mouse. He hoped that I could think of a solution."

Hearing this, George looked at Harry again, and seeing the latter nodding hurriedly, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:

"It seems that we are worrying too much. But I'm sorry, I'm afraid we can't give you the Marauder's Map."

"why!"

The one who spoke was Ron. He stuck his head out from behind Harry and said angrily, and then was glared back by Fred.

George continued:

"Because the Marauder's Map is missing."

"Gone!?"

"Yes, after we came back from Hogsmeade last night, we hid the Marauder's Map on the back of Mr. Buck's portrait on the second floor because we were afraid of being searched."

George and Fred each said helplessly, "But when we went to look for it this morning, the map was missing."

Hearing this, Ron and Harry became frustrated again. The disappearance of the Marauder's Map meant that Scabbers could not be found again.

Link's expression became serious.

If he knew very well what George and Fred were saying was unlikely to be lies.

They themselves don't have much possessiveness about the Marauder's Map, otherwise they wouldn't have given it to Harry in the original novel.

And Link only borrowed it temporarily and didn't say he wouldn't return it.

In this case, the matter would be more serious.

The Marauder's Map disappeared at the time when Blake first infiltrated Hogwarts, and it was most likely that Blake discovered and took it away.

Because the Marauder's Map was originally made by Black and Harry's father, he knew the function of this map very well.

Of course, there is also a possibility that the Marauder's Map was taken away by Dumbledore during last night's search.

But this possibility is not high, because if this is the case, then he does not need to ask Link to prove his ability at all, he can just rely on the Marauder's Map.

Silently going through most of the possibilities in his mind, Link raised his head and said:

"Don't worry, I still have a plan B if the Marauder's Map is gone."

"Really?!"

"Well, give me a piece of personal belongings."

As soon as Link finished speaking, Ron quickly rummaged through his pocket and found a dirty handkerchief.

"This is Banban's little quilt, is it okay?"

Faced with the handkerchief Ron handed him, Link did not take it with his hand. Instead, he cast a floating spell and let himself fall into the brown paper bag.

"This can be used. Just wait for my good news."

Link said this and was about to take Emily away with him.

After achieving his goal, he was no longer interested in continuing to chat with George and the others.

But Emily didn't think so.

She grabbed Link, then her eyes swept across George and others one by one and said:

"I have a question I'm curious about. You two are cleaning, why are Harry Potter and the others here?"

"They came to see the fun!" George and Fred immediately stood upright. "They definitely didn't help us clean up!"

As soon as this statement came out, Harry and others finally reacted, and hurriedly hid all the mops and rags they were holding behind their backs, and said awkwardly:

"Yes, yes! That's it! Haha!"

Emily sneered and said:

"You guys really have a deep relationship! But... do you know what they committed and were punished for?"

As soon as these words came out, both Harry and Ron looked a little embarrassed.

The explanation given to them by George and Fred was that Emily Victoria was unhappy with them and deliberately let Snape frame them.

It's just that Victoria belongs to Link, and Link just wanted to help them.

So now they are really embarrassed to say these things.

But at this moment, Hermione moved beside her.

I saw her take two steps forward in the desperate eyes of George and Fred, and said to Emily:

"Of course I know, isn't it just because you don't like them?"

"Hohoho! Is that what they told you? It seems that I have to take back what I said about your good relationship. After all, true friends will not lie to each other."

Emily covered her mouth and said with a smile, "Actually, these two Weasleys were punished for peeping and secretly filming lovers making out at Pudifoo's Tea House!"

"How did you know...you! Were you in the teahouse at that time? With Link?"

Hermione's expression suddenly became wonderful.

She pointed at Link, with disbelief and pain written all over her face, making it seem like Link was the one who really did something wrong.

"Link! I never thought you would be such a person!"

Hermione said this harshly, and then stopped looking at Link.

Link looked helpless, while Emily beside him kept grinning evilly.

Ever since she realized that Hermione had some interest in Link, she especially liked to see Hermione frustrated or angry.

And her mocking look made Hermione even more angry.

She was panting loudly and rapidly, and when she suddenly glanced at her, she discovered that the three Weasley brothers beside her were also snickering.

"You still have the nerve to smile! I spent the time when I was going to class to help you clean up! But you still lied to me even when you were punished!"

Hermione gritted her teeth and reprimanded, but George's eyes narrowed at this moment, and he turned his head and said:

"Don't talk nonsense! I have never asked you to come here to help me!"

"Yes, yes! Just like what I just said, you are just here to watch the fun."

Fred also spoke aloud, winking at Hermione as he spoke.

It's a pity that Hermione doesn't agree with him now. Hermione took a deep breath, calmed down a little, then sneered and said to Link:

"Link, did you know? Just before you came, George and Fred were spitting on your medal!"

"Hey! Hermione! Don't talk nonsense!"

"Don't listen to her! Link! We definitely didn't do anything boring like that!"

George and Fred argued in panic.

It's a pity that the way Link looks at them has changed.

"You guys are really good. I will tell the professor about this."

After saying this, Link and Emily left the prize display room without looking back.

Only George and Fred were left inside, howling miserably.

After leaving, Link took Emily upstairs.

After the incident just now, Emily seemed to be in a much better mood, and even hummed a tune.

"I admit, this is quite interesting."

Halfway through, Emily suddenly smiled and said.

Link chuckled slightly when he heard this and said:

"Where are we now? More interesting things are yet to come."

As soon as this statement came out, Emily said, "Oh?" ' After a cry, his expression immediately became curious.

However, Link did not continue to speak, but pulled Emily to speed up.

The two of them walked all the way up, and finally came to the tapestry of the Troll Beating Barnabas on the eighth floor.

"Look carefully."

With that said, Link began to walk back and forth under Emily's puzzled gaze.

Then, a wooden door suddenly appeared on the wall.

This startled Emily, and Link stepped forward to push the door open and made an inviting gesture:

"My dear, please come in."

Emily walked in, and a laboratory covering an area of ​​nearly a hundred square meters, filled with various workbenches, boiler magic arrays and other alchemy props, appeared in front of her.

"This is...the Room of Requirement?"

Emily said in a daze, and Link, who followed in after hearing this, raised his eyebrows and said:

"Yo, you still know this place."

"Well, this magical room was mentioned in "Slytherin". I always thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect it to be true." Emily looked around and said in surprise, "How did you find it? its?"

"A gift from a friend," Link said with a smile, "Filch."

Emily suddenly realized that it was not surprising that Filch, who had worked in Hogwarts for most of his life, found this place.

At this moment, Emily discovered that Link had just finished speaking and took out the box containing the 'Sgar Embryos' and a large machine in a transparent can from his own seamless stretch bag and placed them in the laboratory. center.

Then Link opened the box and put the embryos inside into the machine one by one.

"Come on, start it up."

Link said and inserted the wand into a hole in the machine, and then the machine roared.

"Are you planning to..." Emily came over curiously and said thoughtfully, "Use the Skars to help that Weasley find pets? Wait! You also collected those black furs ! You want to catch Black too!"

Link shook his head at Emily with great approval, then shook his head again and said:

"Scabbers must be found, but whether or not Black is found depends on the performance of Dumbledore and the others."

"what do you mean?"

"A lot has happened recently, Emily." Link said with a serious face, "I didn't want you to worry before, so I didn't tell you. But now, I think it's time to let you know everything."

After saying that, Link pulled out another wand, released the soundproofing spell, and then began to tell Emily.

Link told Emily everything. Except for the part where he was a time traveler and worried about being taken away, Link told Emily almost everything.

After hearing this, Emily's expression also changed continuously.

Emily looked surprised after hearing that Dementors were ineffective against Link.

After hearing Link's guess about the special nature of his body, he clenched his fists nervously.

Finally, when he heard that Link had come up with a solution to the deal with Snape, but was asked by Dumbledore to prove his ability, he gritted his teeth angrily.

"Dumbledore! He's lying to you!"

Emily said angrily, "He wants you to catch Blake directly, but he doesn't want to tell you the answer!"

Hearing this, Link nodded in agreement.

He had already figured out that Dumbledore, the old honey, actually wanted to prostitute him for free.

However, he is not completely without countermeasures.

Helping Ron find Scabbers the mouse is a way for Link to flex his muscles.

I believe that as long as Link can succeed in this wave, Dumbledore will have no more doubts about Link's ability.

And the special mouse Link also has other functions. Link must ensure that it is always within his control.

Only in this way can Link attract Black to sneak into Hogwarts and put more pressure on Dumbledore and Snape.

Thinking so, Link held Emily's hand and said softly:

"Don't worry, Emily, I already have a way to deal with it."

At this point, Link paused, then turned his attention to the running canning machinery and said:

"The Sgars will be ready by Christmas at the latest. I'll let them tell me the answer."
