Hogwarts: Is this junior good or evil?

When Yang Tian arrived, his friends had already been waiting for a long time.

Looking at the growing study group, he felt extremely gratified.

Hermione, Neville, Zhang Qiu, Penelope, Padma, Hannah, plus myself, before I knew it, the group already had seven people. Although they had only been together for a short time, Yang Tian was confident that in the future, these people would become his most loyal partners.

The friends didn't know what was going on in Yang Tian's mind. Everyone saw what happened at noon today, and they were quite excited at the time. But when they looked at Yang Tian in the afternoon, they found that he was always absent-minded and dazed.

Although Yang Tian still looked calm and composed, how could the people who were so familiar with him not notice the difference? It was just that there were too many people around, so it was inconvenient to ask.

Now that they saw the time had come, they naturally hurried to ask.

Yang Tian was very touched by everyone's concern. But considering that his friends were still young, if they let out such explosive news out of fear, the consequences would be disastrous.

So he concealed the latest clues found today and only told everyone about the school's discovery.

Of course, Yang Tian also explained the purpose of the Yang family's visit and told everyone that Dumbledore had arranged the Yang family in Hogsmeade.

Even with this abridged version of the news, the friends were still surprised, but at the same time they were also worried. After all, the investigation had come to a standstill, and Yang Tian was still in danger.

Yang Tian was unwilling to waste his energy on this matter. After chatting for a few more words, he urged everyone to continue to complete the study plan...

Until the evening curfew, when Yang Tian was about to go back to the dormitory to sleep, Penelope took advantage of everyone's inattention and quietly made a gesture to wait for him here.

Yang Tian's heart moved, and then he pretended nothing happened and went back to the dormitory...

Half an hour later, when Yang Tian secretly returned to the common room, Penelope was there.

She was holding a book and reading silently, seemingly trying to kill time.

Seeing that Yang Tian had indeed arrived, Penelope's lips curled up slightly. She didn't waste any time and went straight forward to ask quietly: "Are there any breakthroughs? If there is anything you don't understand, tell me."

Yang Tian was surprised and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Penelope said confidently, "With your personality, if things were going the same way as we analyzed last time, you wouldn't be so distracted. In terms of calmness and patience, how many people can compare to you? Are you the one who loses your temper?"

Yang Tian couldn't help but smile. Does this senior sister know him so well?

In fact, Yang Tian also recognized Penelope's analytical ability. Moreover, Penelope has a tough personality, is a little older, and has a stronger endurance. At this time, Yang Tian, ​​who already has a lot of things in his mind, really needs someone he can trust to help him sort out his thoughts.

So he didn't hesitate any more and directly told Penelope in detail how the five idiots in the mirror found the two letters today. At the same time, he vaguely mentioned that the Weasley brothers had the Marauder's Map, but he changed the name to "heard it from others".

Penelope listened very patiently, not missing any details, and even took the initiative to ask about some details that Yang Tian had overlooked.

After Yang Tian finished speaking, Penelope thought for a while before saying:

"The Marauder's Map is a very important clue. Combined with the clues given by the Five Idiots, the probability that your whereabouts were leaked is related to the Marauder's Map is very high. What we need to figure out now is who has the Marauder's Map. In other words, who else can use this map."

Yang Tian was about to speak when he heard this, but he paused. Penelope's words undoubtedly made sense. There should be no problem that the Weasley brothers had the magical Marauder's Map. But would they, as Gryffindor classmates or friends, be completely unaware of this?

I remember that it was mentioned in the original book that in the second half of the first grade, the two brothers had given the Marauder's Map to Harry, who was unable to go to Hogsmeade village to play. It can be seen that the two brothers no longer cared much about this magical item.

So, did the Weasley brothers carry the Marauder's Map with them? Did anyone secretly use the Marauder's Map while the brothers were sleeping? There is still uncertainty and it is impossible to make a final conclusion.

At this time, Penelope muttered in a low voice: "Oh, if only there was a way to monitor the Weasley brothers' every move. In any case, the Weasley brothers are nodes. As long as we keep an eye on them, we will definitely gain something significant. What a pity."

Penelope's words made Yang Tian very happy. It seemed that it was not difficult to keep an eye on the Weasley brothers, right?

Yang Tian, ​​who had an idea, was about to speak, but Penelope spoke again:

"On the contrary, I think Professor Quirrell's case is very complicated and cannot be easily judged. Although all the clues seem to point to the fact that this person was passively involved and had nothing to do with anything, the time point you just mentioned is very interesting! We went to see Professor Quirrell at 6 pm on Sunday, and didn't say what time the discussion ended."

"You are punished to patrol the forbidden forest at 8 o'clock in the evening. But in order to prevent accidents, the ambush circle should be set up in advance."

"Less than two hours. Report the news, make a plan, survey the terrain, mobilize personnel, prepare props, hurry on the road, and set up an ambush? There is an Anti-Apparition Spell around Hogwarts. This seems to be an impossible task."

"So, the more reasonable explanation is that Blackhand must have arranged everything before Filch found Quirrell. This is interesting. Why is he so sure that Professor Quirrell will agree to punish you by patrolling the Forbidden Forest?"

"Of course, these are all speculations and cannot be relied upon. Maybe there are some hidden secrets that we don't know about," Penelope concluded.

Watching the wise Penelope talking, Yang Tian's thoughts became completely clear.

At the same time, he was amazed at Penelope's abilities and deeply touched by her intentions.

Yang Tian said with emotion: "Senior sister, thank you. I feel relieved to have you helping me."

Penelope was stunned at first, then she smiled and said, "Just know that I am good to you, my stinky junior. If you dare not listen to me in the future, I will show you how I will deal with you."

Yang Tian laughed loudly upon hearing this and said, "Don't worry, Senior Sister, from now on if you tell me to go east, I will never go west; if you tell me to beat a dog, I will never chase a chicken."

"Pfft!" Penelope burst out laughing when she heard Yang Tian's weird translation of this Chinese proverb...

After chatting and laughing for a while, the two returned to their dormitories.

Penelope was really asleep; and in Yang Tian’s dormitory, after a burst of murmurs, a bowtruckle and a jay-bill quietly left the window and disappeared into the darkness.

Not long after, outside the window of the Weasley brothers' dormitory in the Gryffindor common room, there seemed to be a pair of... or two pairs of eyes...
