Chapter 155 Marauder's Map

As soon as the words fell, Ginny's face showed a puzzled look, and there was a question mark on her head.

Seeing that Mike was staring at her, Ginny felt the horror she had felt before coming again, and her upper and lower teeth couldn't stop trembling, making a clattering sound.

"No, no! I really haven't seen it!" Ginny raised her arms again in a gesture of surrender.

Mike, who had been staring at Ginny's face for a long time but still got nothing, finally withdrew his gaze. Just as he was about to speak to comfort Ginny who was scared like a little sheep, Harry's voice came to his ear.

"Mc, Mike. Don't be like this, Ginny didn't mean it." Harry, who was standing aside, finally couldn't stand it anymore and advised, "Besides, she was trying to help us, wasn't she?"

"I was abrupt, I hope Miss Weasley can forgive me." Mike's face showed a gentle smile again, and he continued to speak along with Harry's words.

Ginny, who was standing opposite, was obviously shocked by Mike's 360-degree expression change. She was stunned for a while before she reacted and hurriedly apologized to Mike, as if she was the one who was wrong.

Mike, who was sharp-eyed, found that although Ginny was apologizing to him, her eyes were always on Harry. He immediately understood and quickly bumped Harry with his arm.

Young Harry was obviously still lacking in social skills. He looked at Mike innocently. He didn't understand why Mike suddenly bumped into him. It wasn't

until Mike pointed at Ginny inconspicuously that Harry reacted and said, "Thank you so much this time, Ginny."

Ginny was so happy to receive the thanks from the person she loved that she almost flew up. The frightened expression on her face instantly changed into a happy smile.

Ginny felt that her face must be very red now, maybe even to her neck.

Shy, Ginny actually covered her face and ran back to the dormitory and threw herself on the bed. Fortunately, she remembered the way well, otherwise she would have fallen into the mud if she ran with her eyes covered. .

"Harry thanked me, Harry thanked me... Ah~"

Ginny, lying on the bed, kept repeating this sentence. The blush on her face did not fade away but tended to spread to her neck.

Finally, after repeating it countless times, it seemed that she thought of something embarrassing. Ginny screamed and covered her head with the quilt.

...

After saying goodbye to Harry, Mike returned to the dormitory with the Marauder's Map.

If what Ginny said was all true, then Percy could basically be confirmed to be the heir. But Mike only believed 30% of Ginny's words. As the saying goes, Ginny hasn't wiped her own ass clean yet.

The truth needs to be explored by yourself.

Thinking so, Mike unfolded the Marauder's Map. What

appeared in front of Mike was a blank piece of parchment. In addition to being slightly yellowed due to oxidation, the surface of the parchment also had some stains. It was unknown whether it was made by the Weasley brothers or was originally there.

"I solemnly swear that I have done no good."

As Mike said the command, a small black ink mark appeared in the center of the parchment, just like a drop of ink dripping onto rice paper.

The ink mark gradually faded, and a complete map of Hogwarts appeared in front of Mike.

The map marked a very wide range, not only the main body of Hogwarts Castle, but also the Forbidden Forest and Hogsmeade Village were covered.

Mike could clearly see that Hagrid's name appeared on the map marking the location of the gamekeeper's cottage, and under Hagrid's name, there was a pair of footprints.

Staring at the castle-shaped pattern representing Hogwarts on the map, Mike silently recited the Ravenclaw Common Room in his heart.

The pattern on the parchment changed instantly, and all the patterns were squeezed together in a mess and quickly separated. When the picture stabilized again, a floor plan of the Ravenclaw Common Room appeared in front of Mike.

Seeing that his name also appeared on the map, Mike couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face.

This live point map is simply invincible!

Mike was still able to analyze the general principle of the Marauder's Map. It was nothing more than name magic, pattern recording magic, password magic and positioning magic.

Needless to say, the password magic that uses a password to open the map is basically known by any wizard who has a little knowledge of alchemy.

The simplest of the remaining three magics is pattern recording magic, which can be said to be the most used magic in the wizarding world. From the magic cards with moving characters attached to the chocolate frog to the characters that can move on their own on the magic portraits, all of these exist only because of pattern recording magic.

This magic is easy to learn but difficult to master. Any wizard who has received special training can learn it, but it is very difficult to reach the level of being able to make magic portraits.

All the patterns on the Marauder's Map that can be seen by the naked eye are all cast by pattern recording magic.

Then there is name magic. Just like the demons or dragons in ancient myths have a magical "real name", the names in the Harry Potter world are also magical, but not as exaggerated as described in the myths.

Name magic was developed for this characteristic, but because it is too obscure to understand, basically no one except those extremely learned wizards will study it.

But if name magic is used well, it can also achieve some unexpected effects. The most famous one is Voldemort.

Voldemort, the legendary dark wizard, cast name magic on his name. Whenever someone recites his name, he will feel it. Then, as long as he wants, he can know your location and identity, as well as what you say next.

So during the period when Voldemort swept across Britain, almost all wizards in the wizarding world did not dare to recite Voldemort's name directly, but used the mysterious person (you know who) to refer to it.

This habit still circulates to this day.

Finally, there is positioning magic. This magic itself is not difficult. It is even just a spell technique and cannot be called magic. Many spells, including portkeys and apparition, contain this technique.

Although positioning magic is simple, it is a bit strange to put it in Hogwarts.

The entire Hogwarts area is subject to a large number of restrictions. The most intuitive feeling of ordinary people is that Apparition is not possible within the Hogwarts area, but what they don’t know is that the restrictions also include anti-positioning, Muggle expulsion and so on.

The positioning magic on the Marauder's Map not only worked, but was also extremely accurate, and was not affected by the ban at all. This made Mike wonder if the person who made the Marauder's Map had mastered some skills to avoid the Hogwarts ban.

Although the Marauder's Map was full of doubts, Mike was a free-spirited person.

For him now, as long as the Marauder's Map could help him catch Percy's little braid, it would be fine.
