Chapter 53 The Vulnerability of the Marauder's Map (Part [-])
William and the others looked helplessly at the map.

The map maker seems to have thought of all the deciphering spells, enough to prevent the little wizard from forcing the map.

But without knowing the secret order, it was impossible to use this map freely, and it was impossible to monitor Snape's medicine storage room for a long time to find out who the attacker was.

William stared at the map without speaking.

George comforted: "It's okay, William, the big deal is that we increase the frequency of pranks. Although it will be slower, sooner or later we will be able to complete the thousand small goals released on the map."

But William's dark green pupils were still staring at the map, as if he was thinking about something.

"What's the matter, William?" Cedric asked. "Do you have any idea?"

"There are indeed some." William asked: "I remember the method of obtaining the secret order, isn't it the only one?"

George dragged his chin and said, "That's true, but William, I don't think this map will miss anything."

Of course, there is more than one way to crack this map.

The fastest way is to use powerful magic to directly brute force it.

But that requires a very powerful confusion spell to confuse the map, and the four of them, William, can't even use the confusion spell, let alone confuse this map.

The second cracking method is to complete a certain number of difficult pranks according to the requirements of the map, and the map will automatically tell the secret order.

This is the dumbest way.

It is also the only way for a few people to be sure.

If the Weasleys keep up their high-pitched shenanigans, they'll probably be able to pull it off in the next year.

The third is to find secrets that the creator of the map does not know.

As George said, it was hard!

This map shows the creators' knowledge of Hogwarts. They are very confident that Hogwarts has no reservations or secrets from them.

They are also confident that there are no unexplored areas.

The map also automatically presents secrets if someone is able to find them without discovering the secret.

But since William proposed it, he should have some idea.

George took out his wand and pointed at the parchment: "The map shows."

Soon, thin lines of ink, like spider webs, immediately began to appear from the place where the wand had just touched.

These lines meet each other, cross each other, and extend to every corner of the parchment; then writing begins to appear on the top of the parchment, which are large curved green characters, and they are:

"Magical Mischief - The Marauder's Map.

Proudly presented by Marauders - Moonface, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs. "

There was a line of small emerald green characters below: "The prongs greet Mr. Weasley, please give the secret order."

"I'm going to play a prank." Fred said seriously, and then smiled obsequiously, "Mr. Prongs, you have always been so handsome. At school, I think a lot of girls liked you."

As if an invisible hand was writing on the parchment, words appeared on the map: "Padfoot stiffened slightly, expressing agreement and looking forward to something."

George smiled and said, "Of course, Mr. Padfoot is also very handsome."

Words appeared on the parchment again: "The secret order is wrong, but Prongs and Padfoot agree with Mr. Weasley's evaluation."

"So you will be eligible to use the map for 55 minutes, please cherish the prank time."

The handwriting was completely faded, and all the details of Hogwarts Castle and various venues were drawn in detail on the map.

William stared at the map.

Tiny dots of ink moving along the map, each dot of ink marking a name in tiny letters.

A small ink dot in the upper left corner shows Professor Dumbledore pacing in his office.

Filch's cat, Mrs. Norris, was stopping in the eighth-floor corridor, seemingly sniffing the floor.

Peeves, the mischievous ghost, is jumping around in the prize room.

But on the entire map, the names of William's four people are not displayed!

It was as if they had been wiped off the map!

William smiled and said, "It's really what I thought."

Several people gathered around the map, and Cedric quickly noticed the abnormality. He was surprised: "There is no our name?"

"This is the first time this has happened."

George was stern and serious, like Professor McGonagall.

He always thought that this map was omnipotent, maybe even a treasure left by the Big Four thousands of years ago, just like the sorting hat.

Of course, if it is really a treasure left by the Big Four, it is undoubtedly Gryffindor who made this map.

But now it seems not!

George was very disappointed, and felt that his faith had collapsed. He had always regarded the predator as his life mentor.

Fred also sighed, "Looks like the prongs didn't find the Room of Requirement."

Cedric stared at it for a long time, and said: "It may not be that the Room of Requirement has not been found, or it may be that this room has been cast 'unmarkable'."

"Unplottable" is a special magic that can be used to hide an area of ​​the world.

Any location that is "unplotable" cannot be directly seen, or simply cannot be marked on a map.

Unplottable locations are usually wizard's residences and wizarding schools.

Sparton, Durmstrang and Hogwarts are all unplotable, using powerful magic to protect their students and their secrets from Muggles and Dark wizards.

Likewise, the famous Azkaban, is also located on an "unplottable" island in the center of the North Sea, which isolates it from the rest of the world.

William shook his head: "This house may really be 'unmarkable', but I think it's the Predator Four, and I didn't find the House of Requirement."

"How to say?"

William analyzed: "Look, maybe so many years ago, there were also four students who, like us, were keen to discover the secrets of Hogwarts.

So let me ask you, George, if it were you who thought you had all the secrets of Hogwarts, what would you think during the night tour? "

"I would want to find a 'secret passage or room that I've never found'."

William laughed: "Yeah, the Room of Requirement is only there when you really need it."

"You are trying to find a room that has not been found by you, and if the Room of Requirement responds to your request and appears in front of you, at that moment, this room is no longer a room that has not been found.

This logical paradox is an invalid order, so the Room of Response has never been shown in front of a few people. "

(The first update on ps1, please recommend tickets.)
(The above ps2 is just my own analysis, no one knows everything about Hogwarts, and the Predator Four is no exception.

The most direct evidence, 【Order of the Phoenix No.17】Harry seeks a hidden place, let DA practice the defense against the dark arts,
Sirius' first reaction was the screaming booth, and then the secret passage on the fifth floor, all of which were rejected, and he didn't think of other better places.

If he knew about the Room of Requirement, his first reaction would definitely be the Room of Requirement, like Dobby. )
