Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

To put it simply, they were caught on a night out in their first year and accidentally discovered this thing while cleaning Filch's office.

"We think it might have been something Filch confiscated in the past, or it might have been deliberately confiscated by those who left it behind—he's a Squib and can't discover the secret inside!"

Fred was very proud: "Isn't it cool? A perfect prank happening right under my nose!"

George added: "After we got this treasure, we began our glorious but lonely life of night wandering... Filch still thinks we cast a spell on him, so he and his cat can't catch us!"

As they spoke, they handed the map to Ryan.

After Ryan took the map, he saw the whole picture of the map.

It was a holographic map, with the details of every floor of Hogwarts engraved on the inside of the paper. As one of the designers of Hogwarts, Ryan could be sure that the secret passages on it were very complete.

At this time, footprints appeared out of thin air on the map, with corresponding names on them.

For example, Ryan could see footprints symbolizing Dumbledore pacing in the headmaster's office.

In the Potions office, Snape's footsteps stopped.

In addition, Ryan saw a lot of names on it.

There were familiar names - like Hermione, Harry and Ron... They were actually out for a night out tonight as well, and were in the trophy room.

In addition, there were some names that he was not very familiar with or did not recognize.

"Cedric Diggory, Lee Jordan, Quirinus Quirrell, Peter Pettigrew..."

Ryan only took a quick glance and knew that most of them were little wizards who wandered around at night... oh, and professors.

But soon, he was surprised to see his own name and the twins' names - their positions on the map were exactly correct.

then...

"Incredible."

Even Ryan couldn't help but murmur in surprise.

Chapter 41 Are wizards now so weak?

Ryan's exclamation was not groundless.

In the wizarding world, there are certainly many ways to track someone.

But it is very difficult to ensure that you are not discovered by a wizard while tracking - extrasensory spell, human form reappearance spell, crisis foreknowledge spell... Even in today's magical world, wizards have many ways to determine whether someone is tracking them.

In the wizarding world a thousand years ago, there were even more such anti-tracking methods, especially for some outstanding wizards.

And there is no doubt that Ryan is an excellent wizard!

He can detect most of the spying through the changes in magic and the surrounding atmosphere. This ability will not change much even if he turns back to eleven years old.

He also saw many evil methods like curses and hidden contracts while traveling with the four giants.

But now, even though the prop called the Marauder's Map was right in front of him, he did not feel any connection between this thing and his magic.

"It's not a magical contract, nor a curse..."

He stroked the map, his mind full of thoughts.

What made Ryan feel even more incredible was that he even saw 'Albus Dumbledore' on this map.

Ryan had seen the Hogwarts headmaster's magical attainments in the headmaster's office before - emotions alone were enough to allow magic to affect the environment. Dumbledore was undoubtedly a great legendary wizard.

He may not be as good as Ryan's four teachers, but he has already gone deep into the path of magic.

But the Marauder's Map can track Dumbledore's whereabouts without being discovered by him.

"Is this thing really made by Hogwarts students?"

Ryan recalled the four code names on the Marauder's Map and found it a little unbelievable.

Does he really have such an outstanding junior?

But when the twins saw Ryan's expression of surprise, they grinned and high-fived each other again.

"I told you before, even Ryan would be surprised!"

"You're right, Fred!"

The twins spoke exaggeratedly while explaining the current situation to Ryan.

As they say, they were given the Marauder's Map in first year and have been using it ever since.

Their last encounter with Ryan in the Room of Requirement was also thanks to this map.

"We saw you disappearing and reappearing on the eighth floor."

"That's why I quietly went over to take a look."

They explained one after another.

Then Ryan understood why he found the twins sneaky at that time.

However, it seems that the Marauder's Map cannot reveal the existence of the Room of Requirement, which means that this map is not omnipotent.

"Since then, we've been avoiding you on our night outings."

Fred grinned. "It's not that we're not good friends, Ryan. It's really those goblin creations... You don't know, I dreamed for the past two days that a goblin was chasing me with dumbbells!"

George added, "And you haven't been out much lately these past few days, except for going to the Slytherin common room yesterday... You haven't been out much at night even as often as Ron."

The twins were obviously excited when they heard this: "Speaking of this, do you know your new nickname? Lee Jordan calls you 'Slytherin's Nemesis'!"

"..."

Slytherin himself would probably tear my head off if he heard that nickname.

Ryan murmured in his heart, but he roughly understood the situation.

"So, today you..."

He glanced at the two of them.

With the Marauder's Map, the appearance of these two people in front of him was definitely not a surprise.

"hey-hey..."

Then he saw Fred and George scratching their heads together and smiling shyly.

"Brother, you want to go to that room - the one that Headmaster Dumbledore mentioned."

Fred winked.

"We were thinking, maybe you'd like to invite a couple of your friends along?"

George grinned.

It was through the Marauder's Map that they saw that Ryan did not seem to go to the Room of Requirement today, but went to the fourth floor, so they followed him.

Even as naughty as the Geminis, they were still worried about what Dumbledore said at the start-of-term dinner.

And at this time, Ryan obviously became a good adventure partner.

After all, after the duel last night, no one would question Ryan's magical ability anymore.

Many people believed that Ryan's attainments in spells had reached the level of sixth grade or even higher.

There was even discussion about it among the young wizards in the upper grades.

Many people believe that Ryan's identity as a Muggle wizard may be fake, and his real identity is the invisible offspring of a powerful wizard. Insiders revealed that the powerful wizard is likely Dumbledore.

Some people also believe that Ryan's family bloodline may be very ancient, and his victory over the young wizards of Slytherin is essentially a victory for an even more ancient and pure wizard bloodline.

Of course, there are also a small group of people who think that Ryan may not be a human at all, but a fire dragon or a sphinx that has transformed into a human form. The most exaggerated statement is that Ryan is actually a Dementor.

"Oh?"

Ryan stretched out his tone, glanced at the two of them, and then nodded reluctantly: "Okay, but in exchange..."

He raised the Marauder's Map in his hand and said, "You have to lend me this for two weeks... no, three weeks!"

He really wanted to study this exquisite and mysterious magical creation.

The twins looked at each other, hesitant.

But after seeing Ryan seemed to be about to leave, they gritted their teeth and said, "No problem!"

So the three of them reached a consensus, and they quickly walked to the end of the corridor on the fourth floor, where a locked door appeared in front of them.

The twins glanced at Ryan, and after getting a hint from the latter's eyes, they drew their wands and pointed them at the lock on the door.

"Alohomora!"

The door unlocked and the three of them stepped inside. Then they heard a low and loud breathing sound.

"what sound?"

George and Fred said in unison.

But when they saw the owner of the breathing sound, they were like a duck with its neck stuck, and they stopped moving in an instant.

Even Ryan's eyes widened in surprise at this moment.

"Three-headed dog?"

As they looked at the huge three-legged monster in front of them, the twins' legs stiffened.

"I heard from my dad that it's a 5X-level magical beast—from Greece, and very dangerous..."

Fred said in a low voice, causing Ryan to nod in approval.

The three-headed dog was indeed difficult to deal with. He had dealt with one before a thousand years ago.

Its fur has strong resistance to spells. Although not as strong as that of the Manticore, it is still strong enough.

Its claws and teeth are magical and corrosive, and being scratched or bitten can be very troublesome.

It is very powerful and fast, and its three heads give it powerful reflexes, and each head has special abilities - one can spit fire, one can spit ice, and one can spit venom.

But then, Fred's following words made him a little confused.

"A magical creature of level 5X, which means it would take a hundred adult wizards to subdue it..."

Ryan was stunned when he heard this.

Although it has long been known that wizards in the current magical world are not very good at fighting, but... one hundred wizards, and adult wizards at that?
