Half an hour later--

Sirius was sitting on the sofa with a dark face, and he heard a bad news that Pettigrew Peter has run away, or, Hide in a place no one knows and pretend to be dead.

He thought frustratedly, could it be that what he has done for so long has been useless?

Felix picked out another book from the shelf, which actually mentioned a complete ancient magic. The portrait of Phineas · Black headmaster didn't lie to him. The book collection here is really unusual, although some of it was moved from Hogwarts Restricted Section.

It seems that when the old man was the headmaster, he did much for the welfare of his family.

It's a pity that things are impermanent, and House of Black has fallen to this point...

"Have you tried Marauder's Map?" Sirius suddenly asked.

"Marauder's Map, what is that?" Felix lifts the head from the book.

Sirius muttered, "That is a moving map that records the location and secret passage of Hogwarts. It looks like a stack of parchment, which we made together when we were in school—I , James, Remus, and... Pettigrew Peter."

"Marauder's Map can mark the trail of everyone in Hogwarts, even Dumbledore."

Felix blinked. He already knew what Lupin asked Filch for, and he affirmed: "This map should be confiscated by Filch."

"We did it on purpose." Sirius twitched his lips, "At that time We are about to graduate and we are eager for someone to inherit our sacred prank business, so we found an appropriate opportunity to attract Filch’s attention and let him take away the map."

Felix slightly nodded, It turns out that there is still such a past.

Sirius wondered: "Didn’t Remus tell you?"

Felix whispered: "The map is lost, Filch admitted."

"That Old rice bucket!" Sirius shouted unwillingly. He fiercely smashed the wall and then frustrated: "Even if there is a map, it may not work. Pettigrew Peter can block his name."

"Block? You use it. Is it a human tracking curse?"

"More than that, there are tracking curses, footprints appearing, name magic, miniature simulation curses, concealment curses, Imperturbable Charm, protective magic, and later also a collection of transformation, divination and alchemy... Too many things."

Felix looked at Sirius in surprise, he himself only mastered part of the incantion.

Sirius explained: "In the beginning, James brought a magic map making book from home. We relied on this book to make the prototype of Marauder's Map. Of course-there was no moving name at that time. Later, we rummaged through the library and found incantions that could lock the traces from various corners and corners. We kept adding them. In the end, it was hard for us to remember how many incantions were used."

He opened his hands, "You know, when we saw Headmaster Dumbledore's name appear on the map, we thought we were invincible in the whole world, and no one could escape the tracking of Marauder's Map, because you can hide I have tried a certain magic, but I can’t prevent the second, third, fourth......"

Felix couldn’t help but admired. If Sirius doesn’t say it, who will know These things? He even saw the shadows of the other three producers through Sirius.

An amazing magic creation just appeared in the hands of four ungraduated students.

The subsequent encounters are even more embarrassing. The war interrupted their normal life trajectory, and if it were not mentioned by Sirius, even the existence of Marauder's Map itself would be quietly submerged in history. .

"How did the four of you divide the work?" Felix couldn't help but ask for more information. If it can be copied, it is definitely not inferior to any known magic item.

Sirius glanced at him weirdly, "James is good at transfiguration, I am good at magic spells, especially silent use spells. A lot of incantation is added after I learnt it. Remus knows everything. The scattered things are glued together. As for Pettigrew Peter..."

He frowned, resisting the nausea, and said: "He is more careful, checking the gaps."

After Sirius finished speaking, he stopped looking thoughtful. He looked at Felix for a while and said slowly: "Maybe he may not be able to block Marauder's Map."

"Why?"

"I remember-there is an incantion, only James and I know that during the Seventh Year Halloween holiday, we went home separately, and James found an interesting magic in the old house."

He sees Looking at Felix, there was light in his eyes, "That's a curse, or enslavement magic. No, it's not accurate," he frowned. "It should be said that it is a contract."

"The magic contract ?"

"Yes," Sirius said affirmatively. He glanced at the Study door and said in a low voice, "That's a very old book. The author of the book participated in the house elf war. The wizard invented a magic to enslave the house elf."

Felix raised his eyebrows, he used a kind of magical tone and said: "Does this have anything to do with Marauder's Map? Wait. ——I thought about the connection between the is Master and the servant?"

Sirius was surprised at his sharpness, "You are right, there is a close connection between the house elf and the master, this The contact goes deep into the bloodline, which has been passed down from generation to generation. Few people know about it now, so house elf will never betray his master."

That's not necessarily...

Felix heart Think, enslavement by magic is always inferior. There is no magic that is eternal and unbreakable. Dobby is an example. Even the side effect of Cruciatus Curse, one of the three Unforgivable Curse, was not cracked by him?

Following this line of thought, for him, Cruciatus Curse actually no longer works. pain? He has too many ways to shield pain. What Cruciatus Curse really terrifying is that it is beyond the flesh and reaches the deepest part of the mind.

And when he protects his memory layer by layer, Cruciatus Curse's influence on him is extremely limited, but it can act as a disguise...

Sirius continues to say: "——Think about it, no matter where you are, the owner can summon house elf, oh, Azkaban can’t, I tried it, maybe the distance is too far..."

"Maybe it’s included in the Ministry of Magic This part of the information, made corresponding precautions." Felix speculated.

"In short, James and I tried to add a part of this magic-as the owner, summon, house elf, which perceives the owner's location because of the contract effect-into the map. We designed a little trick. Sirius laughed happily. "When you walk into Hogwarts, you will sign a temporary blank contract by default. There is no binding force. You can even refuse!"

Felix smiled and said:" The premise is that the person discovers the contract, but I think you will not let it take effect at all, but are in a waiting state..."

"That's it!" Sirius said excitedly. A weird cry: "Completely harmless, but your position will be fully exposed."

"The best thing is that Pettigrew Peter doesn't know this. Just a few days after the Halloween holiday, we decided to put The map stays at Hogwarts-with the help of Filch to find the next owner, only the most adventurous students will appear in his office. We also set some restrictions for this."

Sirius got caught In the happy memory, he narrowed his eyes and murmured softly.

For a while, he said with a sad expression: "Unfortunately, the map is lost."

Felix pondered: "If you are asked to make a new Marauder's Map, can you do it? Lupin is also in school, he may be able to help."

"I know he is there," Sirius said, thinking about it for a long time, "It will be difficult to remake, I don’t remember many things. It's..."

"We can try it together, I am very interested in it."

"We?" Sirius looked at Felix in a daze.

Felix didn’t answer, he glanced at the time, “There are still two hours before ten o’clock. It’s completely too late.”

He said happily, “I’m going to take you there. Hogwarts, of course, you have to get in touch with Headmaster Dumbledore first. Well, maybe I will face the Ministry of Magic's question, I will lie that I didn’t catch you and let you run away. I don’t know if anyone will believe it... "

Sirius stared at Felix, and he felt that he was taunted by fiercely.

"Excuse me, where is Phineas·Black's portrait? I didn't see him in the row of portraits on the wall."

"...the second room on the right hand side of the second floor platform In the bedroom."

Felix walked away, a few minutes later, he came back again, "I have already said, Dumbledore let us move more secretly." He gently touched the left hand side with wand Ring, take out a candy box with Honeydukes printed from it.

"What is this?"

"A young wizard gave me a Christmas gift. I haven't finished eating it yet. I'm a bit tired... But I think I can also use it to pretend One person."

"Have you applied the Extension Charm?"

"Oh, no," Felix asked suspiciously, "Who would apply the Extension Charm in the candy box?" he Looking at the dumbfounded Sirius, he said, "I just happened to think of a suitable magic—"

He pointed at Sirius with wand, and the tip burst out with strong blue rays of light.
