Hogwarts: Harry's Path to Witches

Chapter 207 This is the right given to us by the oldest legal code of mankind, Professor Dumbledore

When Sirius and his father were in school, they worked together to make a special map.

Any creature with a name and certain living characteristics will have its name displayed on the map, and its specific location and movement trajectory will also be marked.

Whether it is a powerful person like Professor Dumbledore, a ghost like Peeves, or an ordinary animal like Mrs. Norris, they cannot avoid being marked on the map.

In order to continue their prank career, Sirius and the others deliberately asked Filch to confiscate the map before graduation.

In order to capture Peter Pettigrew, Professor Lupine went to Filch to ask for this map.

It's a pity that Filch lost the map at some point, and he only found out about it when Professor Lupin went to ask for it.

At that time, Professor Lupine mentioned to Sirius:

"Filch clearly placed the Marauder's Map in the cabinet marked 'Confiscated Items, Highly Dangerous'."

Professor Lupine was probably talking about the cabinet in front of Harry.

Based on all the information, Harry, you can basically confirm that the short man is Peter Pettigrew.

Harley moved over and opened the surviving drawer.

Inside the drawer are stacks of neatly arranged files, which record the glorious deeds of seniors and sisters from past generations.

Harry also saw a letter on the envelope that read "Quick Spells, Correspondence Course for Introduction to Magic."

Harry suddenly realized that no wonder Filch, as a squib, could still hold a wand. It turned out that he had signed up for this class.

This kind of quick incantation course provided for Squibs, which is almost a money scam, usually gives leeks a magic wand.

But that kind of wand was made by a wandmaker who couldn't even sell it during normal business, so it was completely useless in terms of quality.

"Although the wand is not very good, it is still a wand after all." Harry's silver fingertips traced the surface of the envelope.

"Peter Pettigrew has a wand, and the danger has increased again."

After knowing the information she wanted to know, Harry turned around and left the room without any hesitation, rushing towards Professor Snape's office.

As she approached the door to Professor Snape's office, Harry stopped again.

At this time, although the deans are patrolling, it cannot be ruled out that Professor Snape has set up surveillance-type magic in his office.

Anyway, there is only one way to Professor Snape's office, and the same goes for backtracking here.

After a while of busyness, Harley once again got the information she needed:

The short man carried a pile of materials and sneaked out of Professor Snape's office.

"I'm exhausted." Harley finished her recollection, stabilized her somewhat illusory body, and prepared to go back to rest.

But as soon as she turned around, her expression froze.

Two powerful auras suddenly broke into his range of perception.

"Good evening, Harley." An old man was looking at him with a smile, and there was a golden-red firebird standing on his shoulder.

The flames on the Firebird were slowly dissipating, and it was obvious that it had just used Apparition.

Fox combed his feathers with his beak and glanced at Harley sympathetically.

Harry suddenly realized that his backtracking ability did not show the figure of Professor Dumbledore, so he did not know what he had done.

If Professor Dumbledore had placed surveillance magic in Filch's office and in the corridor outside Professor Snape's office, he would have no way of knowing.

"...Good evening, Professor Dumbledore."

After a moment of silence, Harley raised her hand to say hello, with an awkward smile on her face.

"It's quite a night, isn't it?"

Professor Dumbledore seemed not to notice the strange atmosphere around him at all.

"I couldn't sleep, so I went for a walk."

"But I really didn't expect that you actually have the same interests and hobbies as an old man like me."

"Are you using the patron saint as a body to carry your own consciousness for a walk? What an interesting choice."

Without blinking an eye, Harry typed up the draft in an instant:

"Actually, Professor Dumbledore, I'm not here for a walk, but to find that damn Death Eater, Sirius Black."

"You know, he gave Voldemort information that led to the death of my parents."

"So I want to catch him with my own hands and collect some of the debt for my parents this Halloween."

When he heard Harry's last words, the corner of Professor Dumbledore's mouth twitched:

"Child, I think these matters can be handed over to the Ministry of Magic. His crimes should be adjudicated in the most just manner by the Ministry of Magic in accordance with the law."

"But this is Europe, Professor Dumbledore." Harry's voice suddenly became a little stiff,

"In Europe, both Muggles and wizards support the oldest code of law, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth."

"Blood revenge is a matter of course, dear professor, no one has the right to interfere."

Professor Dumbledore didn't know what to say for a while, and finally changed the subject abruptly:

"Harry, I have heard Professor Lupin mention that you have mastered the Patronus Charm."

"Now it seems that you have a much better grasp of the situation than I guessed."

"I didn't remember that I wrote down in my notes the advanced application of using the patron saint to carry consciousness. I didn't expect you to develop it yourself."

"Yes, Professor." Harley nodded, gently holding a snake hair that was rubbing against her cheek with her hand.

"Your notebook gave me a lot of inspiration. I easily summoned the formed patron saint with pleasant memories."

"But as you can see, my patronus is something special. It is a magical animal that is almost a mythical creature, the legendary Medusa."

"It's amazing, Harley. Do you know what it means to be a Patronus in the form of a magical animal?"

Professor Dumbledore's eyes were filled with inquiry and inexplicable meaning.

"Although there are very few samples, I still tried to conduct research and made some speculations - the patron saint should be in the same form as the Animagus."

"For example, Professor McGonagall, her Patronus and Animagus forms are both tabby cats. The same is true for several other Animagus."

"As for the Patronus in the form of magical animals... I think you should know that currently wizards cannot transform into Animagus in the form of magical animals."

"And of the wizards I know who have patron saints of magical animals, there is currently no record of becoming an Animagus."

Having said this, Dumbledore stared closely into Harry's silver eyes:

"Harry, I have nothing to remind you about the Patronus in the form of magical animals."

"But if you want to learn Animagus, you must be careful."
