Hogwarts White Knight

"You see, it's not that difficult, is it?"

Gawain stood on tiptoes to pick off Fred floating on the ceiling, and said easily.

After giving Filch a few boxes of canned cats and promising to buy him some Muggle pet food every month, the manager of the castle happily left with Mrs. Lorris in his arms.

He couldn't wait to go back to the office and try out the techniques Gawain had taught him.

Tricks he never thought possible.

"I never thought that old dog Filch could be so easy to deal with. We're right under his nose!"

Fred said in surprise, and at the same time pushed George to prevent him from landing easily.

"Hey! To be precise, on top of his nose!"

George lightly kicked Fred on the butt, using the force to fall to the ground.

"Actually, it's just that he is thinking about other things in his mind. In another place, he will definitely find you in a second or two."

Gawain shook his head and said.

Just now he had an idea and thought of this plan.

He used "cat funny... bah, fluorescent flash" to contain the opponent's pawns, and at the same time attract the attention of the knight, allowing his "lamb" to get through under the eyes of the opponent. However, his guidance to Filch was also from the bottom of his heart. of.

"Mrs. Lorris has become so thin. She really should show it to the abyss and let it keep bargaining with me."

Gawain thought secretly.

The twins looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

"But since you saved us."

"Let us repay you well."

"But we don't have gold galleons or academy points."

"I can only share a few with you."

Each of them said one sentence, like a comedian.

"Secrets of the Castle."

Fred said proudly, while George took out a piece of tattered parchment from his arms.

"Is this? I think I have paper to write it down."

Gawain glanced at the twins with some confusion, and took out another notebook from his pocket.

Colin always buys notebooks like this. He often tears out a few pages and throws them aside, and then he collects them.

"No, no, no, this is no ordinary parchment, don't underestimate it." Fred said with a proud smile, poking George with his elbow.

"That was when we were young and vigorous, and of course we are still like this now. One time, Filch caught him in the office. We found this treasure in his drawer!"

George finished speaking in one breath, ignoring Fred who was dissatisfied with being robbed of his speech.

"Anyway, please look!"

Fred took out his wand and lit it on the parchment. "I solemnly swear that I have no evil intentions!"

As he finished speaking, the ink stains on the tip of his wand began to spread rapidly like a spider web. Thin ink lines are connected to each other, and writing appears on the top, which are large, curved cyan letters.

"Poltergeist supporters Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs proudly present the Marauder's Map."

It actually forms a map of Hogwarts!

And, not only that, there are many small moving dots on the map, with names marked in small letters in one corner.

Now they mostly hang out in the lounge.

Gawain also saw himself.

"Look! We really want to thank these four gentlemen. I don't know what we would have done without this map."

Fred said in mock concern, making a face.

"There are many secret passages recorded on this map. I think you would be interested in knowing about it, right?"

George patted Gawain on the shoulder and pointed out some secret passages to him on the map.

"It's a pity that this road has completely collapsed, otherwise Filch would never be able to catch up with us today!"

He also pointed out several routes that were or might be known to Filch, but in Gawain's view, Filch was hardly a big problem.

——After all, he is a little lion who follows the rules?

"Hmm... I think he would like a little bit of Mu Tian Polygonum?" Gawain thought about it and felt that the reason at the beginning was not reliable enough.

"Because there are still some places on the map that we haven't explored yet, so unfortunately we can't give it to you for the time being." Fred spread his hands and said.

"But if you don't mind, you can take it back and make a copy using the sketching spell. Although there is no magic in that, it is still a help." After Fred, George added.

"Um...Okay, thank you."

Gawain responded casually, staring closely at the foyer on the map. There, Professor Quirrell seemed to have just returned from a walk outside the castle.

But Gawain could have sworn that at that moment, he saw another name covering "Quilina Silo".

"Tom Redella?"

He kept the name deep in his mind.

After he said goodbye to the twins who were said to be "preparing a little surprise" for Filch, Gawain's journey back to the Gryffindor common room was uneventful.

"Dragon scum."

He said the password to the fat lady, and the stone door swung open.

The little lions have all gone to bed, and the common room seems empty and quiet. Only the soft "beep-beep-boop" sound of the charcoal fire in the fireplace is lazy and comfortable.

Neville was lying on the chaise longue facing the fireplace, already asleep, his wand resting on his knees.

"akus, akus, akus."

He muttered quietly, as if he was practicing the transformation spell even in his sleep.

Gawain took a blanket from the shelf nearby, put it on him, and easily chose a velvet lounge chair to sit down on.

"Modern History of Magic or...?"

He thought for a moment, then took out the collection of Pedol's Tales annotated by Dumbledore and put it on his lap.

He had read the book during the holidays.

Different from the annotations in modern history of magic that focus more on comments and opinions, Dumbledore seems to have spent a lot of energy researching the sources of each story in this fairy tale book.

"For example, the three Peverell brothers."

Gawain casually opened the story of the wizard's hairy heart and lowered his head to read it again.

He suddenly raised his head again.

The Gryffindor common room is mainly decorated in scarlet. There are many pictures hanging on the walls, but the most eye-catching one is a large tapestry.

It depicts a beautiful lady getting along with a unicorn.

The Lady and the Unicorn

Gawain knew the name of this tapestry, and also knew that there was a replica of it in a French museum.

It is said that it was created after Beauxbatons' foreign students visited Hogwarts a long time ago, imitating the original one here. Later, the foreign students' families encountered misfortune during the Revolution and lost them.

Only six pieces have been relatively completely preserved.

But what Gawain never knew was...

This tapestry is alive too!

The noble lady noticed his eyes and smiled gently towards him!

For the sake of any of Merlin's women's clothes!

ps1: Mrs. Loris’s information... refers to her cat-raising experience and cannot be verified!

ps2: The Marauder's Map is based on Prisoner of Azkaban without many changes. Regarding showing the name of Tom Riddle (Redella is the result of the protagonist's misreading) instead of Voldemort, the reason is that the Seven Equals are too weak at this stage to maintain his spell on the name. As for how to hide it, please wait for the later article.

ps3: The Lady and the Unicorn is now in the Cluny Museum. I have been there once and it is indeed beautiful. It is divided into six pairs. The specific meaning is ominous, but it can be determined to be from the fifteenth century.

But Hogwarts is certain that it was founded thousands of years ago...
