MTL - Harry Potter and the Badger Who Can’t Magic-Chapter 24 Marauder's Map

Auston couldn't tell how he felt, but he just thought it was fine.

But he has no energy to pay attention to Sissi anymore. Sissi is also playing hot with Harry Ron in Gryffindor. The few times Auston saw her, it was with the two boys. Did the trio's combination change? Auston had some vague doubts.

Auston decides to go to Filch's office and steal the Marauder's Map. He doesn't have time to stare at Sissi, so he uses the Marauder's Map to spy on her.

That night, Auston decided that Filch would arrange a confinement for Marcus and sneak into Filch's office on the same basement floor. Opening the old wooden door, the smell of corruption hit his face, making Auston wonder if the house-elves hated him too and never came to clean his office.

The room was dark and dirty, with no windows, except for a solitary oil lamp hanging from the low ceiling. On the wall behind the desk hangs a set of shiny hinges, handcuffs, shackles and the like.

There were many wooden filing cabinets lining the surrounding walls, and Auston opened the cabinets, which contained the details of each student Filch had punished. The Weasley twins, Sirius Black and James Potter had specialties. file cabinet.

Next to James Potter is a very new cabinet with Harry Potter's name on it, apparently not long ago.

Auston chuckled, it seemed that this little Potter was being watched by Filch.

Without further ado, Auston quickly rummaged through.

It was stupid enough to say "I solemnly swear I didn't do a good job" to every piece of parchment in Filch's closet.

Finally, after hearing the phrase on a piece of parchment in the small drawer by Filch's bedside, two more ink lines appeared on the blank paper. in front of Ston.

He quickly rolled the parchment into the robe, and randomly restored the place he turned over. At this time, he realized that it was really a troublesome thing to have no magic, otherwise, a 'recovery' would be able to do everything well.

He secretly left Filch's office and walked briskly towards Hufflepuff's lounge, but he didn't want to, but on the corner of the lounge he ran into Filch's cat, Mrs. Norris, who had just opened her mouth. To call, Auston quickly drew his wand and pointed at it. Mrs. Loris stared at him with dangerous big eyes, the hair on her back blew up, her ears gradually turned into airplane ears, and a low growl came from her throat.

Auston saw that it was afraid. Still holding his wand at the cat, he turned the corner around it, walking backwards bit by bit.

When he finally reached the door of the lounge, he quickly knocked on the vat at the door, and then dodged into the lounge. The moment he entered the lounge, he also heard the sound of Filch's footsteps pulling the floor not far away.

Auston returned to the dormitory, took out the map and looked carefully.

Sissi is still in the Gryffindor Tower, and everything is normal on Delphi's side, but Filch is still wandering at the door of Hufflepuff's lounge. He probably doesn't know how to enter the lounge. .

Auston looked at the professors again. Dumbledore in the headmaster's office on the eighth floor was pacing in his room; Snape was in his own office on the ground floor, occasionally walking around here and there. Ston guessed he was making potions. He noticed that the names in the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher's office on the third floor were ambiguous. Auston squinted his eyes to identify it carefully. He could vaguely see that there were two overlapping names. One was the defense teacher Quiriner. Skiro, the other is—Tom Riddle!

Auston was shocked and sat up abruptly! If he took the map and went to Dumbledore to tell Quirrell now, there would be nothing left, he thought.

But then he thought, no, he couldn't explain where he got the Marauder's map, and how did he know that Tom Riddle was Voldemort. Even if it doesn't need to be explained, a freshman who denounces a professor will gain very little trust, and he might even provoke Voldemort's revenge.

He decided to put this matter aside for now. It might be better if everything went on as normal. The only thing he had to worry about was how to keep Sissi away from Harry Potter.

Thinking about this, his eyelids gradually began to fight, and he fell asleep holding the Marauder's map before he knew it.

The next morning, Auston got up in a hurry to wash, then ran out of the bedroom, passed through the still dim lounge, went out, and walked directly towards the door of Slytherin's lounge.

After waiting at the door of the Slytherin lounge for a while, Delphi came out.

This morning, Delphi had a spell class, Auston had a Transfiguration class, and the afternoon was a history of magic with Slytherin and Hufflepuff.

Auston first sent her to the Charms classroom on the fourth floor, and also said hello to Professor Flitwick. After quickly running back to the Transfiguration classroom, Professor McGonagall just criticized him a little and let him sit down.

Justin teasing Auston beside him

"Alas, having a girlfriend is different. People who are busy all day long are not seen."

Auston stomped him hard under the table, and he cried out in pain.

"Mr. Finlay, do you have any questions about my course?" Professor McGonagall glanced at them sternly.

Justin grinned and stood up to answer.

"No, no problem, Professor McGonagall."

"That's good." Professor McGonagall waved him to sit down. Then say to Auston

"Mr. Brown, you should work hard. Look at your matches and they haven't changed at all. And your twin sister, Miss Brown, made a perfect match in her last transfiguration class. became a needle."

Saying that, she waved her wand, and the needle in Ernie's hand, who was sitting on the other side of Justin, suddenly caught fire! This startled him, and he hurriedly threw the burning needle on the table, leaning back.

"Mr. McMillan, don't let match-tip phosphorous remain on the tip of your needle."

Ernie just watched his needle burn out and nodded in astonishment.

This torturous class is finally over. Auston feels that she is exhausted from taking Professor McGonagall's class. She pays attention to Auston from time to time. She must have never seen such a stupid student. She has been learning matches for more than a month. Nothing has changed.

Auston walked out of the classroom and went straight to the fourth floor. After picking up Delphi, the two went to the auditorium to have lunch together. At noon, they lay down together on the lawn in front of the castle for a while.

Not far away, several students in yellow uniforms were practicing Quidditch on broomsticks. Delphi looked envious, and Auston promised her that he would take her to Hogsmeade on a broomstick if he had the opportunity. Made the little girl blushed happily for a while.

Auston took out the Marauder's map and wanted to see where the secret passage was, so he took her to take a look at it on the weekend.

Inadvertently, seeing Sissi's name at a glance, Auston sat up in surprise, his hand holding the Marauder's map trembling.

"Delphi, I can't go to History of Magic with you this afternoon." Auston was still staring at the Marauder's map.

"Why?" Delphi also sat up.

"My sister went to Hagrid's cabin, I have to go and bring her back!"

Auston pointed her to Sissy on the Marauder's map. On the map, Sissy, Harry, and Ron were all in Hagrid's hut by the Forbidden Forest.
