"Tuk-tuk-tuk."
"Please come in."
Lupine put down the weight in his hands, pulled up the towel hanging around his neck and wiped his sweat. He looked at the door of the office.
"It's Harry, what's the matter?"
There was a faint smile on his face, and then he waved, and a teapot flew up automatically, filling two cups with tea.
"I have something to ask you." After Harry sat down in the chair, he placed the Marauder's Map on the coffee table.
"The Marauder's Map?"
Lupine recognized the parchment at a glance, "I didn't expect you to find it at all. I remember it was confiscated by Filch, but we didn't think about getting it back. Maybe we'll get it back later." People who also like to be mischievous will find this map.”
"Do I look like a good student?" Harry glanced at Lupin strangely, "If the Ministry of Magic knew what I had done, they would want to give me a life sentence in Azkaban, which would be executed immediately. That kind of thing.”
"At least that's what the professors think. Other professors think highly of you. Harry, at least you work harder than any other student."
"Like my mom?"
"Of course, but I think you also got your father's true heritage, but he didn't do anything to get into Azkaban." Lupine glanced at Harry with a joking look, "Congratulations, you surpassed Your father."
"I'll just take it as a compliment." Harry shrugged indifferently, "But I didn't get this map, but Fred and George got it in Filch's office when they were in first year. of."
"The Weasley twins?" Lupine recalled for a moment, then nodded clearly, "It wouldn't be surprising if they were them."
"What do you want to know about the map? It took your father, Sirius, and I several years to complete the Marauder's Map. There are many surprises hidden in this parchment."
"Is there a way to highlight someone on the map? Preferably also get her schedule."
"Using the Marauder's Map to chase girls?" Lupine looked at Harry with amusement, "He is indeed James' son, Harry."
"No, no, no, that's a good girl, but I'm not interested in children under the age of fourteen. That's against the law. Uncle Lupin, whether it's Azkaban or a Muggle prison, I have no intention of traveling there. Intend."
"I just accidentally saw that girl going to the broken girls' bathroom on the third floor, which is the toilet where Moaning Myrtle was. And I read a lot of books and records about the history of Hogwarts last year. .”
"Fifty years ago, the heir of Slytherin came to Hogwarts and opened the Chamber of Secrets, which led to the death of a Muggle-born girl, and the place of death was in that bathroom. She was Moaning Myrtle. .”
"Do you suspect that Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets is there?" Lupine immediately understood what Harry meant, "But what if it's just a coincidence?"
"At that time, Hagrid was accused of being a murderer by a wizard named Tom Marvolo Riddle. Everyone thought that it was Hagrid who did it, but Professor Dumbledore stopped this ridiculous accusation. , he vouched for Hagrid, but even so, Hagrid was eventually expelled from Hogwarts, deprived of the right to use his wand, and began his life as a gamekeeper."
"And Tom Marvolo Riddle." Harry wrote a few black characters in mid-air with his fingers, and then with a gentle wave of his hand, the characters reorganized into a new line of words, "He is Voldemort. "
Lupine's pupils dilated and contracted rapidly at this moment. He squeezed the armrests of the chair hard, and his white knuckles showed the turbulence in his heart at this moment.
After a while, Lu Ping asked with a solemn look and some confusion: "This is indeed a secret that surprises me, but does it have anything to do with that girl?"
"Yes, but I can't say." Harry shook his head slightly. He couldn't tell Lupine that he had read HP's books and movies in his previous life and knew that the diary was in the Malfoy family, right? "But more importantly, It’s time for the wrongful conviction back then to be vindicated. Hagrid is a wizard, not an orangutan who wields a stick and smashes the head of a fire dragon, and how can a wizard not have a wand?"
"I actually hate the messy laws of the Ministry of Magic. It's nothing like that. It's a miracle that those guys whose minds are still stuck in the Middle Ages haven't been killed by the torrent of the times. I don't recognize them as a serious government organization. "
Harry looked at Lupine deeply, "We should find justice for Hagrid, right? He is our friend."
"But no orangutan can smash the head of a fire dragon with a stick." This metaphor made Lupine a little dumbfounded, but he nodded seriously to Harry, "Yes, if everything was wrong at the beginning, then we need to correct it. it."
Lupine is a person with a great sense of justice. What's more, he had a good relationship with Hagrid when he was in school. Hagrid planted the Whomping Willow for him with his own hands, so Hagrid could subdue this bad-tempered willow. Professor Sprout had not yet taught at Hogwarts at that time. She had only come to Hogwarts ten years ago, and the Herbology professor at that time was much inferior to her, otherwise she would not have Because of accidental death at the hands of a magic plant.
"Yes, corrected." Harry shrugged, "But regarding the Chamber of Secrets, the Marauder's Map can tell us some answers. At least the map can prove that she went to a secret chamber that is not recorded on the map."
"I need to highlight her name and list her whereabouts separately. Uncle Lupin, can this be done?"
"Of course, it's a very simple thing." Lupine took the Marauder's Map on the table, "This map originally used very powerful name revealing and tracking spells. Of course, we couldn't do this with our original strength. Well, thanks to Sirius, who got some goodies from his uncle, we cleverly attached the magic used in the map to the huge magical barrier covering Hogwarts."
"No one can hide his whereabouts on this map, unless his magic is stronger than the entire Hogwarts, which is impossible."
Lupine did not take out his wand, but tapped it lightly with his finger, "I am Moony, and the mischief begins."
An ink dot appeared where his fingertips touched it, and then the ink dot shot out countless thin ink lines. The complicated pictures and text quickly covered the entire parchment. Before the map was revealed, a few lines of writing were written on it. appears on the map.
[Wow, this seems to be the first time Moony has actively wanted to play a prank. Padfoot really wants to give you a hug. You finally got the idea. 】
[Tian Tou agrees, today must be a day of carnival, Moon Face's first time, we should keep it in mind. 】
[So it turns out that I will also have such a day? Oh my gosh, I must be possessed by some weird, dirty thing. 】
[If he is discovered, without Moon Face, who will deal with the trouble? Wormtail expressed concern. 】
"Shut your crow mouth, Wormtail, or Padfoot will kick your ass, and Prongs swears I will too." 】
"It's fun to be noisy, right?" Lu Ping smiled slightly after seeing these lines, "There are many kinds of spells to open the map. After all, they are intended to be passed on to the destined people in the future. The key word is mischief."
The map of Hogwarts was completely unfolded, and the dense lines were a bit dazzling. Now it was almost dinner time, and there were black dots of ink everywhere in Hogwarts. Walking towards the auditorium, it was almost a mess. .
"Look, Professor Dumbledore is also up there. Although he cast a spell on his name to avoid a lot of unnecessary harassment, in front of the Marauder's Map, even Professor Dumbledore is as powerful as The wizard cannot hide his traces."
"No single individual can resist the magic of the entire Hogwarts. Okay, now tell me the name of the girl you want to track, and I will help you locate her location. Speaking of which, your father used to work secretly. Click on the map to find where your mother is, and we ran into her many times, creating a lot of alone time together."
"Cassandra Malfoy."
"She is from the Malfoy family?" Lupine raised his eyebrows slightly, "That shouldn't be the case. If Malfoy was the heir, Lucius should have done something long ago."
As he spoke, Lupine wrote Cassandra's name on the parchment with his hand. The originally dense black dots of ink disappeared, and the map suddenly became cleaner.
"Let me see where she is."
Lupine frowned and stared at the map, "Something's wrong."
He raised his head and looked into Harry's eyes, "That girl may have gone to the Chamber of Secrets. Her name is not on the map."
"impossible."
Harry waved his hand, "I left a magic mark at the door of Myrtle's bathroom, but so far, the magic mark has not been touched. No one has entered the bathroom, not even anyone near that place, otherwise I would The magic mark will definitely be touched."
"I made arrangements right after I found her coming out of that bathroom. There is no so-called gap time."
Lu Ping, who also realized that something was wrong, tapped the table gently, "Then there is only one possibility now."
"What?"
"Cassandra Malfoy is not the girl's real name. The name shown on the Marauder's Map is a person's real name. You can think that a name is a label for a person, although it will change due to some things. Even if it is deliberately concealed, as long as it is displayed on the Marauder's Map, then the name must be the name recognized by that person himself."
"By the way, Draco told me that Cassandra is actually the illegitimate daughter of Lucius Malfoy, and she only returned to the Malfoy family two years ago."
"If this is the case, then the current situation can be explained. Cassandra Malfoy is the name she now uses to show others, but in her heart, she does not recognize this name."
"Perhaps we can directly locate the person named Malfoy in Hogwarts? She is an illegitimate daughter after all, right?"
"Okay, this can reduce some of the screening workload, otherwise I would have to use stupid methods."
Lupine nodded and wrote the name Malfoy on the parchment.
When the surname was written down, several small black dots became larger, and the little ink figure was easily seen on the map. Malfoy is not a particularly rare surname, although it is mentioned in the wizarding world of England. The family that comes to mind when you think of Malfoy does not mean that everyone with the surname Malfoy is a member of the Malfoy family.
There are three little ink figures highlighted. The first one is Draco Malfoy. He is currently in the Great Hall and should be enjoying dinner. There is also a Malfoy shining on the Hufflepuff table. Clara Malfoy, this was an unfamiliar name, but Lupine remembered it immediately.
"This is a seventh-year Hufflepuff student. If I remember correctly, there is also a girl named Malfoy in Ravenclaw. By the way, she is here, Lyanna Malfoy."
None of the three highlighted ink figures are the ones they are looking for.
"It seems we can only use this method."
Lupine spread his hands helplessly, then stood up and walked to the bookshelf nearby. He took out the roll call list that every professor had. The names here included all the students in Hogwarts. Defense Against the Dark Arts is a compulsory course. All students from first grade to seventh grade must learn it.
Lupine took out his wand and 'drag' the names on the roll call roll page by page onto the Marauder's Map. The dense black dots continued to disappear.
"After using this stupid method, you have to re-register the names one by one. After all, the map was made when I was young, so it is somewhat flawed."
This stupid method didn't take long. After a few minutes, there were no other students' ink dots on the Marauder's Map. Only dozens of professors' ink dots remained, as well as their goal - Card. An unknown girl named Sandra Malfoy.
When the truth was about to be revealed, Harry couldn't help but feel a little nervous, or rather excited. Accident after accident made him very curious about this matter. What was hidden behind the layers of identities? What kind of secret?
Lupine deleted the professor's name, and the only black spot left on the Marauder's Map was Cassandra Malfoy's real name.
The two of them inadvertently moved closer. The black dot was located in the auditorium. The thin ink lines drew letters and pieced together a weird name that should never appear here.
Nagini
No first or last name, just a single word, like Hedwig.
Nagini.
Harry would never misspell the name, and he would never miss the name as to who it represented.
That was the Viper who had been with Voldemort for ten years in the Albanian forest, a wizard who was completely transformed into a beast due to the blood curse.
Nagini.
I have modified it at the end. If you don’t see Nagini, just click on the directory to re-download the chapter.
