Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

The atmosphere was extremely depressing, and he quickly recovered from his memories.

In the next second, Snape quickly turned around and looked at Professor Lupine, his face almost crooked with anger!

He said in a tone of utter disgust, "Lupine, what do you think of this thing?"

Snape pointed to the parchment, on which the handwriting of Moony, Padfoot, Prongs, and Wormtail was still gleaming.

Professor Lupine looked at the map and seemed to be thinking quickly.

"This parchment must be full of evil spells. This is your area of ​​expertise, Lupine! Or, to be more precise, you should know what it is." Snape said through gritted teeth, "Do you think Harry Where did you get such a thing?"

From the way Snape looked, he must have thought that Lupine had given Harry the Marauder's Map.

"Huh?!" Lupine raised his head, quickly glanced halfway in Harry's direction, and warned several people not to interrupt.

"Full of evil?" he repeated mildly. "Do you really think so, Severus? It seems to me that it's just a piece of parchment that insults anyone who tries to read it. Very childish, but certainly not dangerous! I think Harry got it from a prank shop."

"Really, that's your opinion?!" Snape sneered, his jaw stiffened with irritation, "Which shop do you think would offer this kind of thing, don't you think it's directly from the manufacturer? Got it?"

Chapter 103 The Secret Behind the Marauder's Map

Harry, Ron and Hermione looked confused, they didn't know what Snape was talking about.

Lupine seemed to be the same, but Ivan still noticed a slight change in the corner of his eyes.

"Severus, do you mean that Harry got it from Mr. Wormtail or one of these people?" Lupine turned and said softly, "Harry, you know these person?"

"I don't know!" Harry said quickly.

"See, Severus, it looks to me like a product of Zonko's Magic Joke Shop," Lupine said, turning to Snape.

"It's us!" Fred and George rushed in from the crowd, and they explained to Lupine and Snape, "We bought this parchment from Zonko's Magic Joke Shop a few years ago, and we just Give it to Harry."

"Very well, everything is clear!" Professor Lupine said happily, "Harry and the others did not violate the school rules, he was just showing this prank parchment to his friends! In my opinion, he simply I don't want to be known by the professors..."

"Lupine!" Snape said in a low voice, taking a step forward, "Don't be stupid, you and I both know what this parchment is."

"Obviously, as I said just now, this is a prank product, and it will insult anyone who wants to read it." Professor Lupine blinked.

"Not this one, I've seen it before..."

Snape stopped suddenly, looking angrily at the innocent Lupine.

Although he saw this piece of parchment more than once from his old enemy James Potter when he was a student at Hogwarts, he really didn't know what this piece of parchment was, nor did he know how to use it , The four of them were very defensive against themselves.

Since Lupine didn't want to say anything, there was no point in continuing the stalemate, and Snape didn't want to discuss his student days in front of the whole school.

"Very well, Lupine!" Snape returned to his usual very unpleasant tone, and he sneered, "It suddenly occurred to me that the beginning of tonight happens to be a full moon, I hope you will Stay alone in the house, don’t forget to lock the door! By the way, I will send your potion later, and we can talk about pleasant topics related to this parchment.”

Snape looked at Lupine with malicious eyes. He deliberately added the accent to the words night, full moon, and locked door, as if to give everyone some kind of hint.

"No problem, my door is always open for you, Severus!" Professor Lupine said briskly, "And, thank you for the potion."

"You're welcome." Snape didn't have a smile on his face, he looked at Lupine, Harry, and Irving viciously, and continued with his eyes narrowed, "I made a whole pot, if you want If so, just tell me."

"I started drinking it a week ago, and a little more this afternoon should be enough!" Professor Lupine turned his head to look at Ivan and the others, "Harry, Ivan, Ron, Hermione, you and I Come on, I have something to tell you about the homework you gave me..."

Professor Lupine took two steps forward, seeming to remember something, "Severus, you don't mind if I take this away?!"

Snape didn't speak, but judging from his gloomy face, he obviously minded.

Lupine pretended not to see Snape's expression, he quickly stepped forward, picked up the Marauder's Map from the dining table, and stuffed it into his robe.

Ivan and the four of them left the auditorium closely behind Professor Lupine, and no one dared to look back at Snape.

It was not until the hall that they dared to speak.

"Professor, we..." said Harry quickly, as though he wanted to get the Marauder's Map back from Lupine.

"I don't want to hear an explanation, Harry!" Lupine looked around the empty foyer, the other students were still in the auditorium, and there was no one else around except them, he said in a low voice, "Actually, I I just learned that this map was confiscated by Mr. Filch many years ago, and I recognize it."

Harry and Hermione looked at him with interest, Ron lowered his head in deep thought, wondering what he was thinking, and Ivan covered his forehead weakly.

Professor Lupine not only knew this map, he was also one of the makers of the Marauder's Map.

Harry was so unlucky that Professor Lupine found out that it was useless the first time he got it, and he would definitely not give the map to Harry again.

"I don't want to know how you guys got it, I'm surprised you didn't intend to turn it in, especially since Sirius is still lurking around the castle!" Lupine turned his head and looked at Hermione, " What you did was very wrong, Hermione, I thought you would be more sensible than the three of them."

"Don't blame Hermione, she just persuaded me to hand in this thing." Harry asked curiously, "Professor, why do you know this map?"

"It's not something you're supposed to know, Harry." From the way Lupine looked, he didn't seem to want to say much on the subject.

"Okay, so why would Snape think I got it from the maker?" Harry continued asking not to be outdone.

"That's because..." Lupine hesitated. "Because the people who made the map were probably trying to lure you out of school. They thought it would be fun."

"Moon face, Padfoot, prongs and Wormtail?" Ivan interjected at the right time.

It turned out that after the four of them graduated, the reason why this map would fall into Filch's hands was because they kept it in the school on purpose.

From this point of view, James Potter, Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, and Professor Lupine in their school days must have been as mischievous and troublesome to Filch as Fred and George are now.

"Yes, that's them." Lupine nodded.

"Professor, do you know them?" Harry asked, eagerly.

"We've met before," Lupine replied curtly, looking at Harry more seriously than usual.

"Wait a minute, professor, about this map." Ivan asked in a hasty tone, "Since you know it, you must know how it was made, right?"

"Well, this requires a very advanced knowledge of magic, not your age..."

"Professor, I don't want to know the specific method of making this map." Ivan continued, "You just need to tell me how the four people, Moon Face, Padfoot, Prongs, and Wormtail got the magic power of making this map source, which, in my opinion, requires very powerful magic."

Professor Lupine looked at Ivan in astonishment, Harry, Ron, and Hermione also looked at him in surprise, wondering why Ivan would suddenly ask such a question.

Chapter 104 Legendary Magic Items

This is indeed what Ivan wants to know the most at the moment. Other information, whether it is the identities of Moonface, Padfoot, Prongs, and Wormtail, or the relationship between Professor Lupine and Sirius Black, Black The truth about the prison break and so on, he knows all of these.

What he doesn't know now is the method of making the Marauder's Map. Fortunately, the principle of making it and the magic knowledge involved can be found in the library.

But the most important point, how did Professor Lupine, James Potter, Sirius Black and Pettigrew Peter get those magical powers?

Judging from Snape's situation just now, the Marauder's Map obviously possesses thoughts.

Refer to the other two magical items with thoughts. The Sorting Hat is jointly made by the Big Four. Each of them has very powerful magic power and has mastered many advanced magics that have been lost. Naturally, they can integrate their own thoughts into the Sorting Hat. among.

As for Voldemort's Horcruxes, killing is the source of power for Horcruxes, and only the power of death is strong enough to split a person's soul.

The Marauder's Map is no match for the Sorting Hat and Horcruxes, but it's equally simple in thought.

Just as Aiwen speculated before, Professor Lupine and the others must have obtained enough magic power to make the Marauder's Map and complete their respective Animagus transformations through some method.

There are many feasible methods, taking a large amount of magic enhancement potion to increase a person's magic power to an unimaginable level, or with the help of a powerful magic item.

For example, the Elder Wand in Dumbledore's hand has this ability!

"Professor?" Ivan reminded Lupine in a low voice.

"Well, they found that place from the Forbidden Forest at the beginning... They need their approval to enter... Anyway, it's dangerous there, and you shouldn't know about it at your age." Professor Lupine said vaguely, "What you guys should do is abide by the school rules, don't expect me to cover it up for you."

Hearing his words, Ivan fell into deep thought.

There is obviously something hidden in the Forbidden Forest that I don't know, it may be a very powerful magic item.

Judging from the meaning in Lupin's words, that place or that thing is very dangerous.

What could it be?

Ivan originally thought it was the old wand in Dumbledore's hand, but it doesn't look like this now. Lupine and the others should have made the Marauder's Map behind Dumbledore's back.

In addition to the Deathly Hallows, there are many other powerful magic items.

For example, the legendary sword in the stone, the sword of the king, the knot of Gordium, the British prehistoric stone pillars, etc., Aiwen still remembers that he has read a magic book dedicated to this item before, which records Lots of similar legendary magic items.

Each of them is very powerful, possesses strong magic power, and once existed in reality, leaving a wonderful legendary epic in the history of magic.

Unfortunately, most of them are lost in the long river of history.

The few remaining pieces, such as the Stonehenge monument, are also collected and studied by the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic, and are the top secret of the entire Ministry of Magic.

Of course, those legendary items that have been lost are not lost in the true sense, because it is almost impossible for magic items of this level to be damaged.

They were probably hidden somewhere, or passed down as heirlooms in some pure-blood wizarding family, but no one knew their names.

Just like the three Deathly Hallows, they were gifts from the God of Death to the three brothers. According to legend, the person who owns all the Deathly Hallows is the master of the God of Death.

The three Deathly Hallows are legendary magic items. They are also considered lost in the book Ivan saw.

But in fact, the Elder Wand is in Dumbledore's hands, the Invisibility Cloak is in Harry's, and the Resurrection Stone was made into a Horcrux by Voldemort.

Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that there is a legendary magic item hidden in the Forbidden Forest, just like the Elder Wand, which can provide wizards with powerful magic power.

It seems that I need to go to the Forbidden Forest to check it out.

In addition, Professor Lupine just mentioned that "you must get their approval to enter" that place, who are they referring to? !

Are there any strange creatures living in the Forbidden Forest?

Apart from knowing that there are centaur, giant arachnid, unicorn, Hippogriff and other magical animals inside, Ivan knows almost nothing about it.

And this sentence sounds very familiar, and it seems to have something to do with the secret treasure key left by the four founders of Hogwarts.

Ivan still remembers the last sentence of the golden words behind the statue of Godric Gryffindor: The key to unlocking the treasure is the courage buried in the bottom of your heart, and you need the approval of his proud followers!

Will the followers here be the same group of people that Professor Lupine just mentioned, and they all mentioned recognition? !

If they are the same, isn't the legendary magic item in the Forbidden Forest the treasure key left by Gryffindor himself? !

Everything seems to make sense, which also explains why Dumbledore did nothing about such a powerful magic item hidden in the school's Forbidden Forest.

"You guys must abide by the school rules and not sneak out of the school. The current situation is particularly severe. I can't let you underestimate the dementors, or have other wrong understandings. Although Aiwen's physical body patron saint can resist them, these monsters The scariest thing is..."

"A dementor's kiss?!" Hermione whispered.

"That's right, Hermione!" Lupine had a mocking smile on his face, "That's the most terrifying and powerful weapon of the dementors, and they only use it at the last and worst time. weapons, they will drop their hoods on those they wish to utterly destroy..."

"What's under the hood, Professor?"

"Nobody knows, I think there's always something like a mouth under the hood because they press their jaws on the victim's mouth and suck out the victim's soul."

Harry suddenly thought of the horror he had seen through the Dementor Hood on the Quidditch field, before he passed out.

"If it were done, it would be worse than death," said Lupine. "As long as your brain and heart are working, you can live without a soul. But you no longer have a sense of self, You also have no memory, nothing. There is no chance of recovery at all, you are just alive, a walking dead. Your soul is just... doomed!"

No one spoke, and everyone tried to paint that terrifying picture in their minds, thinking about sucking people's souls out of their mouths.

"You guys have to be careful not to think you've chased away the dementors, so you don't take them lightly." Lupine continued, "What happened last time at the Quidditch pitch made them very upset. I just read from "Prophecy" I read in the Daily Home that the Ministry of Magic has promised the Dementors that they will do this to Black once they capture him."

"That's what he deserves," said Harry suddenly.

"Do you really think so?" asked Lupine softly. "Do you really think anyone deserves this?"

"Yes!" Harry said recklessly, "I've heard everyone say that he is the most evil dark wizard under Voldemort, and he has killed many people!"

"Of all the people who turned out to be Death Eaters, Sirius Black was the one I least expected!" Lupine said. "I used to think I knew him well. He was very dangerous, far more dangerous than you think It is much more dangerous, he is very likely..."

Professor Lupine stopped, as if suddenly realizing something.

"Wait a minute, Harry, you're not going to use the Marauder's Map to find Sirius Black, are you?!" he said in a serious tone.

Hearing Lupine's words, Harry's expression was full of surprise.

Strange, why did everyone think he would take the initiative to find Sirius Black?

First Mr. Weasley, then Malfoy, then Snape, and now even Professor Lupine thought so.

Are the four of them crazy?

Why did he go to someone who wanted to kill him, or did he say there was something he didn't know about it? It was too suspicious.

Chapter 105 The Hidden Truth

"Professor, why did I go to Black?!" Harry said slowly with a suspicious tone, "He escaped from Azkaban to hunt me down, didn't he? He came here to avenge Voldemort Looking for me, isn't it?"

"That's right, that's it." Professor Lupine's expression was a little unnatural, and he subconsciously avoided Harry's gaze.

"But it's certainly not the whole truth. I can feel that you are hiding something from me!" Harry continued to stare at Professor Lupine.

"Nothing at all……"
