Chapter 217 Exchange
Being able to make the Marauder's Map, Sirius Black's magical attainments are actually very high. Locke can now see that this map uses a very high-end tracking spell, as well as a revealing spell and an illusion spell.

But Locke had no clue about the spells that made up the overall framework, so he asked like Sirius.

"I used the contract spell on it, which is unique to our family. In addition, we also used a lot of special spells to make it."

Locke nodded, and took a closer look at the Marauder's Map for a while, and said, "There should be a constant recovery spell enchantment on it."

"That's right, I didn't expect you to see so many things." Sirius showed a surprised look. He really didn't expect Locke to look young, but he was surprisingly knowledgeable:

"There are other spells, most of which are related to the spells needed to make maps in the wizarding world. These spells are complete sets. In addition, there is a special targeted spell. If you are interested, I can tell you something."

"That's really great, I was just about to ask for advice." Locke said with a smile. In the wizarding world, it is very common to hide some family heirlooms of spells or some special spells that are only taught by close people.

Although Locke collects all kinds of spell knowledge as much as possible, the library of Hogwarts has a rich variety of spells, as long as there are spells that have been handed down, there are still many spells and magic knowledge that are secret. .

Locke's proposal to follow the original plot is of great benefit to Sirius. After suffering for so many years, Sirius sees that he can redeem himself because of the plan proposed by Locke. His gratitude to Locke can be said to be from the bottom of his heart.

With such a beginning, it is possible for Locke to ask Sirius for some spells. Locke really doesn't know much about the secret contract spells in Sirius' home and the matching spells for map making.

Sirius himself is not a stingy person, and with Locke's operation, he became his benefactor, so he said that when the matter is over, he will go home and lend relevant books to Locke.

After talking about this matter, Locke paid a little more attention to the next plan to deal with Peter Pettigrew, and at the same time he also reminded to prevent some possible accidents.

For example, at the end, avoid the days when the moon is full, lest Professor Lupine accidentally turn into a werewolf.

Professor Lupine was a werewolf. Dumbledore had already mentioned it when he recommended him to work in Locke's shop. After hearing this reminder, he and Sirius also kept it in mind.
Speaking of it, Locke also found it very interesting. Professor Lupine became a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and the first thing he taught the students was how to deal with werewolf attacks.

Locke didn't know Professor Lupine's mentality, but it might be because of his specialization in art.

The three perfected the details of the plan in the principal's office, and finally Dumbledore asked Locke to help settle Sirius.

Locke readily agreed, and left the office with Sirius. At the same time, he cast a disillusionment spell on him, and then couldn't help asking: "How did you get in and out of the academy before, and where did you live before?"

"The Whomping Willow." Sirius didn't hide anything: "There is a tree hole under the Whomping Willow, and there is a hidden secret passage in it, which can lead directly to Hogsmeade Village."

"I see." Locke nodded. There are all kinds of spells around Hogwarts. It's really not that easy to sneak in quietly. This secret passage has been a secret for many years.

Locke already knew this matter through the plot, but he had to ask about it.

"Then where did you live before?"

"Inside the haunted house in Hogsmeade village." Sirius sighed a bit: "Although it is very old there, it is still more restrained than Akazban. Before getting rid of Peter Pettigrew, these things are very important to me. It doesn't matter at all."

Nodding his head, Locke took advantage of the situation and said, "Then I will arrange for you next."

"No problem." After a short conversation, Sirius already trusted Locke very much, or he had complete trust in Dumbledore. Since Dumbledore asked Locke to arrange him, he naturally had nothing to say.

As the school's director, Locke just talked to the janitor Filch, and left the academy with the invisible Sirius, and came to a house he bought near the school.

This is just an occasional resting place. Except for him and Hermione, two elves usually come here to clean it regularly. Locke simply set up a warning and protection spell here.

Locke first chose a guest room for Sirius, then found a full set of bedding, and finally sent a message through magic to arrange for someone to prepare some suitable outfits for Sirius.

And the most important thing is to find him a magic wand and get some compound potions from the potion shop. After all, Sirius is now acting outside and needs to hide his identity.

In the end, Locke took two hundred gold Galleons and gave them to Sirius so that he could buy some things he needed.

Locke's arrangement was very appropriate, which made Sirius very grateful. After all, he had been in prison for 12 years, and it was rare for him to feel that someone cared.

This made Sirius very excited to say a lot of words of thanks, and Locke took some effort to calm him down and restore his calm.

Locke is also helping the other party when he is down. In his opinion, the value of these things is not as good as the spells passed down by the other party's family. As long as the goal can be achieved, Locke doesn't mind being more friendly.

Sirius tidied up, drank the polyjuice potion again, and went to the screaming hut in Hogsmeade village with Locke to get some items that Sirius put here.

Speaking of which, the origin of this alias is because of Professor Lu Ping. When Lu Ping was in school, in order to control himself who became a werewolf on the night of the full moon, he would come here through the secret passage under the Whomping Willow.

Hiding here relies on biting one's own arm, suppressing animal nature with pain, and at the same time, because of the screams produced, it has become a screaming shed in the mouths of people here, and it is also a well-known haunted house.

After everything was sorted out, Locke didn't continue to intervene in the plot, but just paid attention secretly, and put more energy on studying and arranging affairs as usual.

In addition to absorbing divine thoughts, there is also Transfiguration. These two are the focus of Locke's recent practice. These two spells are very difficult to master, and it is not small to perform them at the same time.

Accidentally absorbing spiritual thoughts may cause one to go crazy due to receiving too many voices, while a slight mistake in transfiguration can cause irreversible mutations, and may even be irreversible for a lifetime.

So even Locke, when he was practicing, needed and often let the elves around him take care of him. In case of any unexpected situation, he could find a way to deal with it as soon as possible, and even ask Dumbledore for help.
