Waiting for the dead of night is not so easy.

Fred and George seemed to be the only active members of Gryffindor still, and they kept Harry and Ron busy with a game of Thunderbolts until almost midnight.

To be honest, if Cyrus had known that the two of them were going to do this, he would have gone to sleep for a few hours, otherwise he wouldn't have been so bored.

Fred thought he was Ginny, and said comfortingly:

"Don't worry too much Ginny, we can only do the best we can," Fred said as he played his cards.

"Yes, and if the thing is lost, it's lost. We have already told Dumbledore, and I believe he will find a way." George said.

The twins' words were like a bucket of cold water poured on the sleepy Cyrus' face, waking him up instantly.

From what they said, it seems that they knew about my diary and told Dumbledore?

Didn't Ginny say at the time that only Harry and the others knew about it?

Cyrus' heart seemed to be tied to a heavy reef and sank all of a sudden.

Although things have come to this point, whether Dumbledore knows that the diary is his true form has no great impact. The other party has been expelled from Hogwarts. If the plan goes well, only Fawkes will help Harry deal with the basilisk in the end.

But Cyrus was unwilling to expose his weakness to Dumbledore.

That's Dumbledore! Dumbledore even planned his own death! He arranged everything for Voldemort in the original book. When he first knew that Voldemort was going to make six Horcruxes, he had already guessed what the Horcruxes were. He followed Voldemort's heart and found the locations where two Horcruxes were hidden. Even when he went to the cave, he took Harry with him by coincidence.

He knew that Voldemort would seek the Elder Wand, that Voldemort would ask Snape to kill him, that Voldemort would kill Snape, and that when Voldemort learned that all the other Horcruxes had been destroyed, he would definitely let Nagini stay by his side...

Dumbledore had planned everything. If he hadn't made a few mistakes, Cyrus would have thought that Dumbledore and he had the same script! "Didn't Ginny find the thing she lost?" Ron played a card and sighed, "But Dumbledore has already left Hogwarts..."

He simply forgot that something Ginny had lost was related to Riddle, but he couldn't remember what it was.

"Found it back?" Fred and George looked at each other in surprise and joy and threw away the cards in their hands.

"Hey, what are you doing? I'm about to win--" Ron looked at the cheating twins in disbelief and shouted angrily.

But Fred and George ignored him and grabbed Cyrus's shoulders excitedly.

"Now the heir is helpless! Without the map, it will be difficult for them to seize the opportunity." said Fred.

map?

After talking for a long time, it turned out that Fred and George were referring to the Marauder's Map.

Cyrus breathed a sigh of relief. Whether Dumbledore knew about the existence of the Marauder's Map did not affect him much. The map was a magical item that could only be used when held in the hand.

Moreover, its production process is very unusual. Cyrus himself has studied it for a period of time. He believes that the map can work because of the existence of the huge magic castle of Hogwarts itself.

Sirius' grandfather was once the headmaster of Hogwarts. Perhaps the plunderers referred to some information when making props, forcing everyone who entered Hogwarts to sign a magic contract.

In the wizarding world, magical contracts are difficult to break.

For example, the Fidelius Charm. As long as the spell is still in effect, even Voldemort cannot find the hidden place.

Dumbledore has the Elder Wand, so perhaps he could break this contract, but he would have to at least get the map first, otherwise, no matter how powerful his magic is, he would have nowhere to use it.

"Lend me the map for a few more days." Cyrus said to Fred and George.

"nothing!"

"Don't mind our business!"

Fred and George said immediately. They didn't want Ron to know about this. They knew their brother's character better than anyone else. If he knew the use of the Marauder's Map, he would definitely ask for it.

"Ginny, you are not allowed to tell either." Fred and George said, and left immediately.

Seeing this, Ron immediately turned his gaze to Cyrus, his face full of curiosity.

"I can't tell them. I promised them." Cyrus naturally didn't want others to know the map.

"But they asked Ginny to keep it a secret, not you." Ron discovered this loophole. Mr. Riddle and Ginny are not the same person.

But Cyrus still shook his head: "It makes no difference. I promised them. And it is very important to keep secrets, Ron. If one day you also reveal my secret, I am afraid I will be ruined by others soon."

"All right."

Harry put away his cards and checked the time. Then he said, "How about we set out as soon as the bell rings? I think everyone will be asleep by then."

"That's it."

"I'll go get the invisibility cloak." Harry walked up the stairs quickly. After a while, he came down with something in his hand. "It might be a bit crowded for three people, but I think it's pitch black outside, so no one will notice our feet sticking out."

"Forget it, I'd better use the Disillusionment Charm. It's safer this way." Cyrus didn't want to squeeze in with them this time.

The journey through the castle was also difficult, and we had to do everything we could to avoid the teachers. The professors in the castle were always patrolling these days, and after Dumbledore left, the professors were all very nervous. Even Snape was full of worries.

At last they reached the hall, slipped behind the locks of the double oak doors, squeezed through the crack with as little creaking as possible, and emerged into the moonlit grounds.

"Of course," said Ron suddenly, as they strode across the dark grass, "we might get into the woods and have nothing to follow. The spiders might not have gone there at all. I know they seemed to be moving in that direction, but ..."

He said nothing more, leaving Harry with a little hope.

They came to Hagrid's hut and looked at the dark windows sadly and sorrowfully.

Harry pushed the door open, and when Fang saw them, he was overjoyed and jumped up and down excitedly.

Cyrus was afraid that its deep and loud barking would wake up the people in the castle, so he cast a spell on it without hesitation, making it unable to make any sound.

Harry placed the Invisibility Cloak on Hagrid's desk.

"You should also remove the spell. We won't need invisibility when we get to the Forbidden Forest." Harry said, "Come on Fang, let's go for a walk."

Three people left with a dog.

Cyrus walked at the back, looking at the invisibility cloak that Harry had placed on the table, the legendary Deathly Hallows -

Finally, he slowly closed the door.
