I became Voldemort

Chapter 39: Marauder’s Map

Justin was petrified!

Also petrified was Nick, who was almost headless.

A terrifying attacker, even the dead Nick was not an exception. What's worse is that Harry once again, coincidentally, appeared at the scene of the crime.

And he was caught red-handed!

Now, he was taken to Dumbledore's office by Professor McGonagall.

Cyrus bit into a piece of bread and squeezed into the crowd, pretending to be completely unaware of the commotion.

"You came just in time, Ginny!" Ron saw "Ginny" as if he had seen a savior.

From the looks in his and Hermione's eyes, it was easy to see that they were expecting Cyrus to give some useful information.

"Ginny, you and Harry went out together. Did you find anything?" Ron asked eagerly.

"No, what happened? I went directly to the restaurant."

Hearing this, Ron immediately showed a disappointed expression. Hermione then explained what Cyrus already knew best.

"If we didn't know Harry's personality from the start, maybe even we would think he was the murderer."

"George, Harry Potter really is the heir of Slytherin!" Fred shook his head with a smile and looked at his brother.

George was just as ridiculous as he was, but they thought it was funny.

"The most evil wizard in the world, Harry Potter, is a Gryffindor, and is still the heir of Slytherin! Now we have defeated all the Slytherins!" George said cheerfully,

"What a pity, there are always so many people and the timing is also worse, Otherwise we can find out who the attacker is," Fred said to George in a low tone which no one heard, except Cyrus.

George and Fred's words immediately made Cyrus think twice.

The Marauder's Map!

This God's perspective map, which can be called an artifact, is perfect for finding criminals.

However, in order to prevent the map from being revealed, the twins naturally could not take out the map and look at it all the time.

But what if?

'What if the next time I plan to attack someone, they happen to take out a map?'

Cyrus can't guarantee that the trajectory of everything now will be exactly the same as in the original work.

And now that Dumbledore was doubting himself, the map could always come in handy if he planned to escape from Hogwarts.

Even just confirming Dumbledore's location would add a lot of insurance to him.

So, he immediately walked towards the twins and pulled them aside.

"What Ginny?"

"I always feel like she has bad intentions!"

"I am your sister, what bad thoughts can I have?" Cyrus said with an innocent face, "Let me ask you, how did I behave last night? Did I deal with Slytherin hard? Wasn't that fun?"

"That's true!"

"You satisfy your brothers!" Fred and George immediately sang in harmony, recalling Slytherin's performance in the Duel Club yesterday, and said happily, "I think they will not be able to hold their heads up for at least this year."

"A whole year? I dare say they will suffer as long as Ginny is at Hogwarts!"

"Since I performed so well, can you do me a favor?" Cyrus showed them a toothy smile, and now he was finally about to reveal his dagger.

It's just that the twins were not fooled at all.

"What does your taking care of Slytherin have to do with us?" Fred knew without even thinking that his sister was going to make some embarrassing demands.

"In the final analysis, that gorilla, Marcus Flint wanted to deal with you to avenge himself and his face because of your previous curse."

"That's right! Even if you think a little further back, you had done it for Ron. So you should ask Ron for help." George said immediately.

"But you asked me to be cruel to the Slytherin students before the Duel Club started. And -" Cyrus secretly glanced back at Ron, "Do you really think Ron can help?"

The two brothers also subconsciously looked at the stupid Ron, and for a moment they felt that Cyrus' words could not be refuted.

"Ok, we are convinced by you,"

"——Especially the second half of the sentence!"

The two asked in unison: "Okay, let's see what help our dear sister wants?"

"Do you still remember when you saved me on the first day of school?"

"You mean the secret passage?" Fred pretended to be stupid.

"No!"

"Ginny" raised "her" voice, but "she" was worried that others would hear the conversation, so "she" lowered "her: voice again.

"I mean your method of not seeing others but knowing where they are. Maybe you can use it to find the real person. The murderer!"

"It seems that our sister is eyeing the secret of our success, George!"

"I'm not surprised at all, but no!" George said immediately.

In fact, what Cyrus said coincided with their original idea, and they had actually thought of trying it.

"It's impossible to succeed Ginny. No one knows when the successor will launch an attack. You can't stare at the map forever."

"You have to give it a try!" Cyrus said. "Now that so many victims have appeared, and Harry has been wrongfully accused, we can't let the murderer continue to be rampant! Give it to me! Or I will tell Dumbledore about you guys having a secret that can find the murderer!"

Hearing this, Fred and George looked very hurt.

"Did you hear that? Our good sister is threatening us."

"I heard Fred, there's nothing wrong with my ears." George immediately responded with a look of sorrow on his face.

"Get it out quickly if you don't want Dumbledore or the others to know."

"No! We'd rather let Dumbledore know."

Cyrus didn't expect that even for this reason, they were still unwilling to take out the map. This made him very confused.

"Why? When I find the murderer, I will return the map to you!"

"no!"

"This is too dangerous Ginny. We don't want to hear about you being petrified. Dumbledore said that this kind of petrification spell must be cast by someone who is proficient in dark magic, and you are only in the first year!"

Although the twins may seem a bit heartless, in fact, they still care about their little sister very much.

"I'm better than both of you." Cyrus said with a straight face, "And you think I will be safe after defeating and humiliating those Slytherin students? You can make fun, but we all know Harry is innocent. What if the heir really comes from Slytherin? then he must hate me very much."

"But you're a pureblood." Fred was shaken.

"I am! But there is no evidence that that person will not attack purebloods, right? The writing on the wall says 'Those who are enemies of the Successor, be cautious' not 'Mudbloods, be cautious'." Cyrus said The two of them were unable to refute, "If I can know the location of others in advance, maybe I can know who is going to attack me, right?"

"It makes sense - okay -" The two men hesitated for a while, but finally thought that what Cyrus said was right.

It is easy to dodge an open spear but hard to guard against a hidden arrow.

"Give it to her. Anyway, we are almost done with it." George also nodded.

They then led Cyrus outside the common room.

The snowstorm continued and it was so cold outside that almost no one was still outside. But just in case, the two of them found an empty classroom and locked the door.

Then Fred took out a square piece of paper from his robe.

"To be honest, I'm quite reluctant to part with it."

"That's right - I think back then, we were only in the first grade, young, carefree and innocent -" George said.

Cyrus smiled immediately.

"--ah, more innocent than now--we had a bit of trouble with Filch back then," Fred said.

"So he pulled us into his office and started threatening us with his usual threats -" George completed.

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

"Hey, what would you do if it were you?" Fred said looking at smiling Ginny.

"George threw another dung bomb to distract him. I immediately opened the drawer and caught this."

"It's not as bad as it sounds, you know," said George. "We reckon Filch never figured out how to use it. But he probably guessed what it was, or he wouldn't have confiscated it."

"Do you know how to use it?" Ginny asked.

"Oh, I know." Fred said with a proud smile, "This little baby has taught us more than all the teachers in the school."

He pulled out his wand, tapped the parchment, and said, "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."

In an instant, thin lines of ink spread like a spider web from where the tip of George's wand touched, connecting, crisscrossing, and extending to every corner of the parchment; then words appeared on the top, green. Large floral letters:

Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs

Gentlemen who are here to help magical mischief makers.

Introducing

Marauder's Map

The map showed all the details of Hogwarts castle and grounds, but what was most unusual was that there were many small black dots moving across the map, each with a name in tiny font.

"In addition to marking everyone's location, it also marked many secret passages.

The one we went to last time was the one leading to Hogsmeade. But we were worried about you running out alone, so we lied to you about the secret passages inside saying  It was blocked. But now, we have to admit that you are really capable!"

"Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs." George patted the title of the map and sighed, "Thanks to them."

"What a noble man, working tirelessly to help a new generation of disciplinary students," Fred said solemnly.

"Yes," George agreed briskly, "don't forget to dispel it after use-"

"-Otherwise everyone can see it," Fred warned.

"Just tap it again and say, 'Prank over!' and it becomes a blank sheet of paper again."

"Okay, Now, little Ginny," said Fred, imitating Percy in a weird voice, "just take care of yourself!"

After Cyrus took the parchment, he immediately put on the same solemn expression, "Thank you, I will return it to you when I'm done using it."
