"Come in!" Ted waved and opened the door. Sirius and Lupine stood outside the door.
"Haha~ Boy, tell me, if you need help from the two of us, it's best to keep it simple, so that I can still have half a day of happy single time in the afternoon~"
Sirius patted Ted on the shoulder, sat down on the sofa, and poured tea for himself and Lupine.
"I'm not telling you, just don't put milk in your tea, and don't put sugar in it. You're not authentic!" He took a sip of Ted's black tea and complained casually.
Lupine also sat down, looking around the room with a smile.
I don’t have anything to do on the weekend, so it would be a good choice if I could do something with my old friends.
When he thought of his old friends, he couldn't help but think of his two other good friends, and felt a touch of sadness in his heart.
Ted did not introduce himself to the two of them.
After all, land prices and housing prices have dropped, and Ted cannot help but buy the dip.
Chinese people have a special obsession with having a house of their own.
If there is really no hope, who wouldn’t want to have a home of their own!
When things are over, Ted will give it a super double here, and he will have to build a thousand-square-meter mansion!
Ted took out a stack of parchment from his arms and put it on the coffee table.
Sirius looked at it and said, "Ha! Hahahahaha!" He laughed heartily.
"It's really, really indescribable to have this thing in your hands."
This is the Marauder's Map, made by the four Robbers, and it has a sense of heritage.
Lupine couldn't help but reach out and touch the map, the look of nostalgia on his face could not be concealed. This made Sirius feel a little sad.
Ted's expression turned serious.
"I want to apologize first, because if I say anything later, I will probably bring up your sad things. Or even hurt you..."
The two were stunned and looked at Ted strangely.
"I know what happened that year, about Harley. I also know a name..."
"This started when the Weasley twins handed me the Marauder's Map a year ago..."
"Just at the beginning of this year, when I was looking at the map, I accidentally discovered that there was an unfamiliar name in Neville and Ron's room... I'm sorry that I didn't zoom in and check their room carefully before. Bedroom, I didn’t discover it until now.”
At this point, Sirius and Lupine had realized something was wrong - Ted discovered a stranger lurking in the Gryffindor dormitory through the Marauder's Map!
This is no small matter!
Ted glanced at the two of them and said: "What surprises me even more is that I have heard this name before, a man who should have been dead for more than ten years... Peter Pedro!"
In order to explain how it was discovered and why Peter Pettigrew was only discovered now, Ted told a story that was both true and false.
In fact, this is not surprising. Hogwarts is very large and has more than ten floors from top to bottom. How big is the Marauder's Map?
If you don't zoom in, all the lines and names will overlap and become a mess, making it impossible to see clearly.
Unless you specifically zoom in on a certain area, some of the subtle changes cannot be fully grasped.
Who has no problem using the Marauder's Map to monitor the men's dormitory? Too perverted? !
This is probably why in the original book, the twins held the map in their hands for several years and did not discover that their brother Ron had another name on his bed.
It’s not like he’s a peerless brother-controller. Who has nothing to do to monitor who’s in his brother’s bed?
Besides, who would have thought there would be others? ! Even for Great Britain, this kind of thing is a bit too early~
That is to say, after Harry gets the map, he will pay attention to the changes in his dormitory.
…
"Impossible!" Sirius shouted, his face turning red.
"Absolutely impossible! Peter, Peter is dead... They have been dead for more than ten years!"
Lupine's face was also full of astonishment, but compared to Sirius, he knew that Ted could not be joking or misunderstood.
If he had told it, he would have been sure of it, and he might have even investigated it deeply himself.
If it's really Peter... he's still alive? Then, then...
His forehead suddenly broke out in sweat, and the corners of his mouth trembled. He wanted to say something but tried his best to hold back.
And Sirius was still trying his best to explain, saying that Ted might have seen it wrong, that there might be a problem with the map. After all, there was a similar situation back then. Although it was solved, problems with magic are common...
In short, he subconsciously didn't want to think deeper.
…
At this time, in the underground maze of an abandoned store not far away, Jerry had solved some puzzles and explored more areas.
Ron was stuck in place because of his injured leg.
Banban had been gone for about ten minutes. The more he waited, the more panicked he became, and he decided to think of another way.
After groping for a long time, I found that in addition to the wand and Unit-1, I also had some change and the Shikar Stone.
This thing has only been made for two days and is still being tested internally.
Ron took one so that he could play wizard chess or 5V5 at any time.
"Wait! This thing seems to be able to communicate within the Utopia network! But, Hogsmeade is so far away from the school, can it be on the network?"
He input his magic power, and the card-like stone plate lit up with magic lines intermittently.
There is a door!
But the signal is not good.
He could only control his magic power and output limited information: Ron, help, Hogsmeade, underground...
During the holidays, I was among the game development team members when I suddenly found a piece of information.
Harry was competing with Malfoy in double queue to compete for the top spot on the ladder, when he suddenly saw the message and jumped up from his chair.
She took off her gaming glasses and rushed to the men's dormitory to find Neville.
"Where's Ron?"
"He and Jerry went to Hogsmeade. What happened?"
"No!" Harley immediately took out the double-sided mirror, but it was a bit big and could be used as a landline phone, but it was generally not easy to carry around.
I found Hermione through the "Address Book" again: "Where's Ted! Ron and the others seem to have had an accident in Hogsmeade!"
"Ted, he went out and was not at school. He said he wanted to see Sirius and the others for something!"
"Damn it, why is it at this time! We can't control it anymore, we have to save Ron and the others first. Meet at the gate of the castle!"
Hermione said: "Okay, give me a minute, I will bring something!"
At this time, she was in the secret base and entered Ted's laboratory directly, putting many props on the shelf into her "space bag".
Among them are some magic props and alchemy bombs developed by Ted. The most dazzling one is a five centimeter diameter glass bottle with a small ball of bright lightning inside.
The Hogwarts Rescue Team is established, with the goal of saving the wizard Ron!
…
"Help, help. Is there anyone? Please help me!" A weak female voice sounded in the underground space.
Jerry's round ears trembled slightly, searching for the direction of the sound.
Jerry hid in the corner of the underground corridor and carefully looked at the girl who was slumped on the ground not far away, as if her leg had been injured.
"Who? Who's there?" The girl seemed to have discovered Jerry.
Jerry stepped out, alert with his wand in hand.
"Who are you? Help me, I'm hurt. Please help me..."
Jerry approached slowly, and the girl's eyes were empty. Suddenly she opened her mouth wide, and the entire upper jaw to the bottom of the eyes was lifted up, and the entire chin was turned down, revealing the mechanism in her mouth.
"duiduidui~" Three sharp thorns penetrated Jerry's body.
Then Jerry disappeared!
"Retreat the enemy three feet! Split into pieces!" Two magic spells flew out from the other corner in succession, beating this weird puppet to pieces.
A human-like head rolled to Jerry's feet.
"Hmph~ I can see at a glance that you are not human!" Jerry just used an illusion to deceive the machine puppet.
This underground maze is absolutely man-made, even with many puzzles and traps, as well as these monsters.
At this time, Ron was also in crisis.
There was a strange spider-shaped doll patrolling the corridor not far away. The sound of footsteps made Ron's scalp tingle.
However, the friends had already arrived at this time. They found the store and the box with the teleportation ability.
Hermione gave props to Harry and Neville: "We will trigger the teleportation magic in a moment. If we are separated, we must be careful! If the enemy is too strong and self-protection is the main concern, I have already informed Anzu, and he will notify Ted. of……"
The three friends jumped into the box and appeared in the maze.
This is actually a real-life horror amusement park set up by Ted, which was developed from the underground ruins of this abandoned store.
That's why Ron can contact other people through the Shikar Stone.
The Utopia network now only covers the castle, and even the school does not have full network coverage.
Ted's original intention was to kill two birds with one stone, bring Peter out and force him to leave Ron.
Then, through this underground real-life game, inspire your friends’ Patronus Charm.
Here he got some monsters that only the Patronus Charm can effectively deal with - smokers.
Developed from Dementors, Ghoststone still needs further research, and Smokey, a man-made magical creature, is already very interesting.
However, he didn't expect that Ron would break his leg!
This is really unexpected, isn’t it so unlucky?
