Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

Dean tapped the map again and said, "Prank over!"

The Marauder's Map became a blank parchment again.

“He knew the proper use of maps.”

"So he didn't lie, the map is indeed his."

The twins whispered.

Dean looked at the twins: "Now you understand? I am the real owner of the map."

There was a regretful expression on the twins' faces: "Indeed. You just proved this. We spent a lot of effort to find the correct way to use the map."

"So can this map be returned to me?" Dean asked, "I can give you some compensation in other aspects in return for getting the map for me."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" George said displeased, "This is your thing, shouldn't it be returned to you?"

"Yes, even if we don't go, you will find a chance to get the map back - it is really a useful tool for exploring the castle." Fred said.

"Thank you so much. I owe you a favor." Dean put the Marauder's Map away with satisfaction.

"By the way, did you find anything special while using the map?" Dean asked casually.

"In fact, we haven't mastered the correct use of maps for a long time, and we don't have the patience to look at the densely packed names on the map." Fred rubbed his temples.

"We put most of our energy into exploring the secret passages of Hogwarts, and the results were pretty good." George added, "Unfortunately, we had too little time and we didn't have time to finish exploring."

"Perhaps you will have a chance in the future. I still have use for the Marauder's Map. After I use it up, I can consider giving it to you." He has already thought about it. After he has completely mastered the concealment spell and is not worried about being discovered by the Marauder's Map, , and returned the map to the twins.

"Really?" the twins said in surprise in unison.

"Of course." Dean was satisfied to see that the intimacy between him and the twins increased by 20 points.

This time he made money again. It can be expected that after he keeps his promise and returns the Marauder's Map to the twins, their favorability will definitely skyrocket.

I just don’t know if the buff effect can become more powerful after the twins’ bond is upgraded?

Dean was a little hopeful.

"Great, it's not a loss tonight~" Although he temporarily lost the Marauder's Map, Fred was very open-minded.

"Well, Dean, you just asked if we found anything special when using the Marauder's Map - I just remembered that we just saw two Dumbledores on the Marauder's Map, so we decided to come out and take a look. I didn't expect to bump into you." George seemed to have just remembered.

"Well, you just mentioned it, but I think you got it wrong." Dean took out the Marauder's Map and clicked on it.

The map shows that only one Dumbledore is in the Headmaster's Office.

"Are we all dazzled at the same time?" The twins scratched their heads in disbelief.

"It's also possible that Dumbledore's brother happened to visit him just now." Dean gave a reasonable explanation.

"Dumbledore still has a brother? This is big news." The twins looked at each other in surprise.

Dean: ...It seems like he shouldn't be telling them about this.

"Actually, as long as you read more books, you will know that this is not a secret." Dean said in an attempt to conceal the truth.

He hoped that something could divert the twins' attention and make them forget about this matter as soon as possible. Dean knew that their gossip abilities should not be underestimated.

"Maybe we should ask Miss Know-It-All~" the twins said happily.

"Oops, the map shows that Snape seems to be moving this way. If we don't want to be imprisoned, we'd better go to the dormitory as soon as possible!" Dean exclaimed after pretending to look at the map.

"Run away!" the twins said and ran away without a trace.

Snape is indeed the antidote to Gryffindor!

Dean sighed inwardly, then slowly turned the Marauder's Map back into blank parchment and put it away.

He didn't scare the twins, the map showed he was indeed moving this way, but Dean wasn't afraid of Snape.

"Dean, breaking an appointment is not a good habit." Dean waited there for a few minutes before hearing Snape's greasy voice.

"I'm sorry, Professor. I thought my apathy had healed, so I didn't go to you as promised." Dean sighed.

Today's meeting with Hagrid and the scheduled time with Snape collided. Dean originally planned to use a time-space converter to solve this problem, but unfortunately he was delayed by the twins and it was a little too late.

Dumbledore has been emphasizing the issue of time and space conversion, which has had a little impact on Dean.

He didn't want to make any mistakes in his rush to use the time-space converter, which would eventually lead to irreparable consequences.

"It doesn't matter what you said." Snape pursed his lips and said.

"It's been a long time since I had an attack." Dean said helplessly.

"It's less than a month," Snape emphasized.

"Professor, I think you take care of me too carefully." Dean protested, "If only you could use half of the care you give me to other students -"

Dean suddenly closed his mouth when he said this. He realized that this was too hurtful.

"Dear Mr. Thomas, who do you think is worthy of my concern?" Snape leaned down and looked into Dean's eyes and asked softly.

"I'm sorry, professor. I don't mean anything else. I just know that you are a good professor, but you are misunderstood by others. I feel very worthless." Dean said cowardly.

"I don't care, Dean. Neither does your father. We are not the kind of people who rely on the admiration of others to survive." Snape stood up straight and said, "Since you think it is no longer necessary, then I I will no longer dispense medicines for you in the future, and our agreement to meet once a week is cancelled."

"Professor, I know what you are thinking. In fact, to a certain extent, you deliberately acted to protect Harry. In fact, I think you can try another way. I don't want to see you misunderstood." Dean was afraid. Snape interrupted him and said quickly.

Snape looked at Dean steadily and curled up with a sarcastic smile: "You actually know this. It seems that Dumbledore trusts you... But - do you want me to waste all my previous efforts? What if? What would the others think of my sudden change of attitude towards Potter? What would the Death Eaters think? What would the Dark Lord think?"

Dean was a little embarrassed. This was indeed a problem. Unless everything Snape had done was made public, if he suddenly changed his attitude, most people would think that he was planning to kill Harry.

"I thought Dumbledore would have warned you not to interfere with his plan to train Potter. If I followed your advice, his plan would be completely ruined. Have you considered the consequences of this?" Nep leaned next to Dean's ear and whispered, "Dean, you disappoint me so much. You are even more childish than Potter now. Goodbye!"
