In the Potions class, Snape stared at Kyle and said sarcastically, "Do you think you are a Potions genius? How dare you tamper with the textbook?"

"Five points from Hufflepuff for your arrogance."

Kyle looked up at the blackboard.

It clearly says on it: The lionfish bones do not need to be ground, just boil them in boiling water for five minutes and cut them into pieces.

The words were so big and were written by Snape himself, how could it be considered that he tampered with the textbook?

"Professor..." Kyle took a deep breath and said in his most normal voice, "This is what you wrote on the blackboard."

“Oh, I wrote that wrong.”

Snape waved his wand calmly and erased the words on the blackboard.

"Does what I write have to be correct? What about your judgment? If I tell you to add your own thoughts, will you do the same?

Three points off Hufflepuff for being so opinionless."

…

Until the end of the get out of class, Kyle's hand was tightly holding the rock cake in his pocket, hesitating whether to throw it at the back of Snape's head.

Although Snape had been deducting points from himself for no reason since a long time ago, he was particularly excessive today. He did everything he could to deduct points, even without caring about his face.

Can you erase what you wrote with your own hands?

This kind of waist-breaking operation really opened Kyle's eyes.

Of course, the effect was immediate. In just one class, Kyle lost more than 30 points.

From the time he entered school until now, the points he lost in all other courses combined are not as many as the points he lost in today's class.

The other little badgers came over to comfort him, and even Kanna kindly handed him a licorice candy.

Kyle took one look and chose to ignore it.

During the meal, Fred and George also heard about what happened in the Potions class. They ran over and patted Kyle on the shoulder, comforting him, "It's okay. Snape has been deducting points from us. It's nothing."

"Yeah, pfft... I mean, you have to take it easy."

The two spoke words of comfort, but with undisguised smiles on their faces.

It was obvious that they were here just to laugh at the joke.

Just when Kyle was about to chase the two away, Fred leaned over and said in a low voice, "Okay, stop thinking about those unhappy things. I'll show you something good."

He looked around and carefully took out a square piece of parchment from his pocket.

"Remember I wanted to tell you something a few days ago? It's this." George came over and whispered, "A magical item. I bet you'll never guess what it is."

"Could it be..." Kyle raised his eyebrows and said with a puzzled expression: "Is this parchment that can automatically write homework?"

“…”

The twins, who had been so smug before, suddenly looked a little stiff.

"If it's possible..." Fred said with a look of longing, "I really hope it is."

"But its real function is also great." George said: "This is a map of Hogwarts. Of course, it is not the ordinary stuff you sell."

"We call it the Marauder's Map."

Fred said as he took out his wand and tapped it lightly on the parchment.

"I solemnly swear..."

In an instant, thin lines of ink spread out like spider webs from where the tip of the wand touched, connecting with each other and extending to every corner of the parchment.

Then large green cursive characters appeared on top.

"Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs.

Gentlemen who are dedicated to helping magic mischief makers solemnly present——

Kyle took the parchment from Fred and looked at the famous Marauder's Map carefully.

It depicts all the details of Hogwarts Castle in detail, and it is much more detailed than ordinary maps. It can almost be said to be a miniature of Hogwarts.

Anything in the castle, whether it is a painting, a carpet, or even a vase, can be found on the map.

The most unusual thing was that there were many small black dots moving around on the map, each with a name marked in very small font.

Kyle saw Dumbledore in the headmaster's office, and also saw Filch and Peeves moving quickly from the fifth floor corridor to the sixth floor.

These are all clearly displayed.

But if it’s a place with a lot of people... like the auditorium now, it won’t work.

A lot of names overlapped each other, and it was so dark that nothing could be seen clearly.

In addition, Kyle also noticed that this map did not seem to show the locations of all the secret passages.

Because the location of the Whomping Willow on the map is empty, there is nothing there.

Kyle handed the map back to Fred and asked, "How did you get it?"

"We were in first grade then. We were young, carefree and innocent..." Fred and George narrowed their eyes and fell into memories.

"Filch dragged us into his office for some trivial matter and threatened to..."

"Solitary confinement."

"Disembowel."

"And we couldn't help but take a look at one of his filing cabinet drawers, which was labeled Confiscated Items, Highly Dangerous."

Fred suddenly chuckled and said, "Kyle, what would you do if it were you?"

Kyle thought for a moment and said, "I'll lure Peeves there, provide him with enough dung eggs or pepper bullets, and then take advantage of the chaos to empty the drawer."

“…”

Fred and George opened their mouths, unable to speak for a long time. After a long while, Fred shook his head and said, "Kyle, you deserve Snape to deduct 30 points from you. Really, you don't deserve it."

"Don't bring up that." Kyle gave him an unpleasant look and said, "So you took this map from that drawer."

"Yes." George smacked his lips and said, "We don't have as much courage as you, so we only took this."

"But how do you know how to use it?" Kyle flipped through the parchment. "It's not written here."

"Speaking of this... we have to mention Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs." Fred exclaimed: "These four are simply prank geniuses."

"They broke the password into pieces and hid them in every corner of the castle," George said. "As long as we find all the clues, we can get the complete password."

"It's a pity that we have been looking for a year..." Fred said regretfully, "but we still haven't found the complete password."

"So we can only use the map five times a day, and each time for only half an hour." George said with a smile: "This is a great undertaking, and we plan to spend three years to complete it."

"What if we still can't find it in three years?" Kyle asked.

"That means we don't deserve it." George shrugged. "We'll find a new owner for it when the time comes."

"Really?" Kyle said. "So you showed it to me so I could join you in the search for clues?"

“No, no, no, Kyle.” Fred shook his head and said, “The password is a test from the four seniors. We have to complete it ourselves.”

"Then this time..."

"Let's go for a night swim!" said Fred and George in unison.
