Primordial Warlock of Hogwarts

It was a rolled up piece of paper.

Are there any powerful magic or spells stored on it?DeWitt was very curious. He watched the twins clear their throats solemnly, unfold the blank parchment, take out their wands, tap the edge of the paper lightly, and said as if the master granted the title of knight to his attendant:

"I solemnly swear that I will do no good!"

This sentence lifted the protection of the parchment, allowing the secrets recorded on the paper to appear - ink dots and lines emerged and connected from the paper, and paired with the neat annotations, anyone could tell at a glance that this was Hogwart Castle map.

DeWitt, who had been to many places, understood the importance of maps very well. He first asked: "Can I take a look at this thing?"

"Yes! Of course you can! But not now - this is the secret that allows us to move freely in the night castle. Come on, DeWitt, look." The twins, one on each side, used a little effort to flatten the map, facing DeWitt. Witt, pointing to a named dot on the map, said: "That's Filch - next to it is the name - Argus Filch."

"Oh, and Professor Dumbledore, he is in the office now... Aren't you still asleep? Next is our place..."

The three people were silent because there was another ink dot not far from the ink dot representing the three people - not Peeves, but Harry Potter.

"We... seem to be under surveillance." The twins said sadly: "I didn't expect that the Weasley group that runs across the castle would be here today..."

Harry was a little far away, separated from the three people by almost an entire corridor. He probably couldn't confirm who the three sneaky black figures beside the wall were. Similarly, DeWitt couldn't find anything either. He looked in the direction of Harry on the map - but there was nothing, just the moonlight neatly cut by the windows.

Wizards also have invisibility magic similar to "Chameleon Disguise" and invisibility cloaks that can achieve invisibility effects. If spiritual vision is turned on, DeWitt can also see through the disguise of magic through the clues of the soul, but the current level of the secret source does not allow him to use it at will. .

"What should we do?" DeWitt, a novice at night travel, asked the more experienced twin: "Are we going to expose Harry Potter?"

"Let's scare him." The twins were always thinking about having fun. George danced and began to discuss in a low voice: "I'll stay with you here, Fred goes over... Now Filch is on the fourth floor, and he is patrolling the restricted area again. , we can lure him here by making a little noise - do you want to go, DeWitt? No, you still lack some experience in teasing Filch... Fred is enough, he will show you, remember Go to Harry's side... Fred, look at Harry's position again. We can't see him. It's unlikely that the invisibility spell was used. It's probably Christmas who gave the gift. An invisibility cloak...remember it? It takes about fifty steps - OK! Quick, quick, move!"

Fred pulled his hood down, and he deliberately imitated Snape's steps, walking specifically in shadowed areas to avoid being noticed by his height difference.

"Look," said George and DeWitt, who were still on the spot: "Harry was slowly moving towards us, but once Fred left, he didn't dare to move."

Of course Harry didn't dare to move. This was the first time he tried night walking after finding the invisibility cloak as a Christmas gift. He confirmed that the invisibility cloak was effective, but he was still scared when a black figure that looked like Snape came towards him. ——What if the invisibility cloak fails, what if Snape sees it, after all, Snape is a professor at Hogwarts. Although he is severely targeted in the Potions class on weekdays, Harry has to admit it. Snape was good enough, so he tried his best to hide his movements, even if his heart was pounding and slowly lifting from his chest to his throat, he tried not to gasp.

Fred's scary strategy was also very simple. He tried his best to make the black robes fly behind him, lowered his voice and kept repeating the name "Harry Potter" in a sinister voice, and focused on Harry's location a few times. Circle, repeating as he circled, as if he had really discovered something was wrong.

"Hahahaha..." George covered his mouth and laughed hard, and the map was deformed in his hand: "Harry ran away! DeWitt, look - he doesn't run very slowly, does he? I hope he runs tonight Have a good night's sleep."

Fred felt that the heat was almost done, so he turned his head in a tacit understanding when George laughed out loud. When George waved his hand, Fred understood - he was going to find Filch.

"Without a map, will Fred be caught by Filch?" DeWitt didn't smile. He considered other issues.

"No, Filch is very funny," George stopped laughing nonchalantly and said, "It doesn't matter even if he is caught, Filch has no other means except to impose hygiene confinement and violate school rules."

DeWitt said no more. He stared at Fred's ink dot on the map. He watched the ink dot quickly go downstairs, slowed down on the fourth floor, slowly approached Filch's position, and briefly After a pause, two ink dots... ah, no, it was three ink dots, and one was Filch's cat, Mrs. Norris. The three dots began to move quickly at the same time.

Of course, DeWitt also didn't forget to look for Harry Potter's location - the savior of the wizarding world never stopped, and now he has arrived at the door of the Gryffindor dormitory.

"Will Filch's cat show it too?" DeWitt suddenly asked.

"Obviously," George paid attention to the situation on Fred's side and replied without raising his head: "That cat is more loyal to Filch than a dog, and it is more powerful than a dog when it grabs the nose of a student wandering at night. It must be done Mark it out.”

This must be about the magic of names again, DeWitt noted.

"It's coming." George quickly tapped the edge of the map with his wand and said, "The prank is over." He rerolled the parchment and put it away, and told DeWitt: "We don't have time to use the map now. Now, listen to me - when we hear Fred's movement later, we will be ready to run, remember to put on our hats..."

"Don't you wear it?"

"It doesn't matter whether we wear it or not," George said nonchalantly: "Filch can recognize us just by looking at our backs. As long as we don't get caught, Gryffindor will not be deducted points - digress, anyway. You have to put it on, Fred will pass us, and then we will run together, and now is the most important thing - how are you doing?"

DeWitt humbly replied: "Some strength and endurance will do."

"You don't look weak," George nodded in agreement and said, "You must follow up and watch the road under your feet. We may take the stairs - the stairs at night may have one more step... No, forget it. , it would be bad if I left you behind. Fortunately, Filch is not strong enough. As long as we run fast enough and the gap is wide enough for us to give the command to return to the dormitory... Listen, Fred is here, you Are you ready?"
