HP: I’m working on redemption at Hogwarts

Chapter 34 The Marauder’s Map



I wonder if it is the arrival of the new year, but time seems to fly very fast after Christmas, and the students of Hogwarts will soon usher in the final exam week.

"Puff! Qiu Zhang, can we review with you these days?"

Fred and George spoke openly and quietly to Cho Chang across the aisle.

"Are you going to be more disrespectful?"

Qiu Zhang helplessly closed his eyes and raised his forehead, not wanting to pay attention to the two of them, but the Weasley twins obviously would not give up so quickly. Fred stretched out his long arms to reach Qiu Zhang's table, and pinched Qiu Zhang with his fingers. Zhang's sleeves were pulled up coquettishly.

"Please, please, Cho Chang, if you don't help us, our history of magic will fail!"

Although Fred George and the others have always had outstanding talents in magic courses, even they themselves are aware that they know nothing about theoretical subjects such as History of Magic that require written examinations.

"Do you know why you are not good at history of magic?"

George and Fred shook their heads obediently, both of them laughing and joking as if they wanted to hear what Qiu Zhang had to say. This awkward expression annoyed Qiu Zhang.

"You ask about that class in this class, but you do this and that in that class, and you even don't go to class. Of course you can't learn well!"

Qiu Zhang's expression was serious, and his voice suddenly became louder, almost writing the word "angry" on his forehead.

"Um, classmate Qiu Zhang, I know you may be very concerned about classmate Weasley's studies, but maybe we can discuss it after class!"

Professor Quirrell finally couldn't ignore it anymore and patted Qiu Zhang on the shoulder to comfort and jokingly calm Qiu Zhang's mood. This actually made Qiu Zhang's face flush with shame. She said sorry to Professor Quirrell, turned her head and continued listening to the lecture, ignoring the Weasley twins.

"Qiu, so you agree!"

Fred's yawning tone drifted slowly into Qiu Zhang's ears again. Qiu Zhang knew in his heart that if he didn't give Fred an answer, he might have to talk about it all afternoon. Helplessly, Qiu Zhang immediately lowered his head and quickly wrote down a small piece of paper. Throw it to Fred.

"Ow!"

The ball of paper hit Fred's head and fell to the table. George immediately picked it up and opened it to look at it.

"Meet in the library at 5pm every day..."

When George got the answer he was satisfied with, he was so happy that he couldn't help himself. He smiled so much that his eyebrows narrowed together, and he made an OK gesture to Qiu Zhang.

"Ok!"

……

library……

Qiu Zhang sat in his most familiar seat by the window as usual. There was a pile of heavy books on the table, which was so high that it almost covered Qiu Zhang's eyes.

Suddenly, the door of the library was opened with great force, and two brothers, George and Fred, walked in with carefree steps and a clatter. Even Mrs. Pince couldn't help but frowned tightly, as if they were about to kill the two in the next moment. Drive people out.

"Autumn!"

Fred waved his hands dramatically in the direction of Akira.

"Shh!"

Qiu Zhang couldn't stand the exaggerated and loud behavior of the two people, so he put his index finger to his mouth and frowned at Fred to warn him.

"Okay, sit down quickly. The blue book on the table is my notebook on the history of magic. You can take a look at it first..."

"No, no, we have something very important to tell you!"

Fred's expression was very serious, he stared at Qiu Zhang and said mysteriously.

"Yes, yes, put the notebook aside for now. Take a look at this..."

Even George looked extremely excited. If they hadn't been in the library, the two of them would have jumped three feet high and cheered in shock.

"Okay, okay! Calm down and speak slowly..."

Qiu Zhang really couldn't stand the publicity of the two of them, so he took one person by the hand and dragged them to the seat to sit down, holding their hands tightly to control their movements as if they were about to lose control of their emotions at any moment.

Fred was anxious to share it with Qiu Zhang, so he let go of Qiu Zhang's hand and felt like taking out a parchment picture from his pocket.

George didn't know why, but his eyes were just staring at Qiu Zhang's little hand wrapped in his. He squeezed it curiously and laughed unconsciously.

"George, are you sick?"

Fred may have been shocked by George's weird smile. He didn't pay attention to his parchment. He just raised his eyebrows and stared at George like a fool. Qiu Zhang was also a little confused, but she didn't ask directly like Fred. She just silently pulled her hand back, and then took the parchment map that Fred handed her.

"This is……"

"Yes, this is the parchment we stole from Filch's office last time."

George came back to his senses, curled his fingers and rubbed his palms and hid them in embarrassment.

"You actually stole that piece of parchment! No, the point is... you untied it and it has now turned into a map?"

Qiu Zhang couldn't help but look shocked when he looked at the moving magical map in front of him that looked like the overall map of Hogwarts.

"Yes! But this is the point. We opened the map but couldn't restore it..."

Qiu Zhang couldn't help but wonder, looking at the two idiot-like people, he really couldn't figure out how they solved the mystery of this map.

"So, how did you open it?"

George and Fred looked at each other and then spoke in tacit agreement.

"I solemnly swear that I have done nothing wrong!"

"That's it. Do you remember what we said last time that if you don't do something good, it will turn over and give us a reminder? So we tried it in private for a long time, and finally succeeded!"

"Awesome! Us!"

Qiu Zhang looked at Fred with a proud expression and smiled helplessly.

"It's so awesome that you can't find a solution to close the map."

Seeing that Qiu Zhang was still in the mood to tease them, Fred and George felt melancholy and didn't know what to do.

"However, this is actually a magic item. Didn't you look for other magic items to find experience? For example, spiritual magic items like the Sorting Hat..."

"Do you think we haven't tried it before? We broke into the principal's office at night to take out the sorting hat, but we didn't expect..."

Fred said this, but Qiu Zhang could already imagine the outcome of the two of them...

Qiu Zhang had a complicated expression, staring at the two of them as if they were fools, as if he didn't know what to say to them.

"No...who told you to really go find the Sorting Hat...you really..."

"Now what?"

Fred looked at Qiu Zhang with a rare eagerness for knowledge and looked for solutions, trusting Qiu Zhang very much.

"Have you ever tried - bad things end!"

"The bad thing is over, the bad thing is over, if you don't do the good thing, even if you repeat the sentence that started it, it will be of no use..."

Qiu Zhang stared at the magical map carefully, clasping his hands tightly to observe it carefully, and suddenly a conspicuous name appeared on it - Cedric Diggory was moving slowly.

"Hey! Why is Cedric's name also on it..." Fred pointed to the conspicuous moving name in confusion.

"Forehead……"

George saw that Qiu Zhang seemed a little stunned and didn't know how to answer, so he immediately helped Qiu Zhang explain.

"Isn't this strange? Didn't we still see Filch's name during the night tour last night? There are many unknown names. This map of Hogwarts should be able to see everyone's movements."

"Oh, yes, yes!"

George Weasley patted Fred's head and explained to him. Qiu Zhang immediately responded and admitted, but only she knew that she was thinking about what Cedric was doing for a moment. Maybe that was what made Cedric The name flashes and becomes conspicuous on the map...

"Eh……"

Qiu Zhang looked back and forth at the Weasley twins, then looked at the map, and somehow subconsciously spoke.

"The prank is over!"

Something magical happened. The map seemed to shake a few times, and the text and route on the map were confused for a moment.

"Oh, I know!"

George Weasley tapped his wand on the map and whispered those words.

"The prank is over!"

The magical moment arrived, and the detailed map belonging to Hogwarts slowly disappeared from the inside to the outside, and finally turned into a blank parchment.

"Wow!"

Witnessing the changes in this map with my own eyes is a bit shocking. Qiu Zhang held the parchment back and forth to observe that it was indeed just an ordinary piece of parchment. Only Qiu Zhang and the Weasley twins knew how extraordinary it was.

"Qiu Zhang, how did you know? That's amazing!"

Fred looked shocked. After all, the parchment had been with him and George for so long, and it took them so long to realize the secret of opening the map, but Qiu Zhang did it in just a short while.

"Hmm... I don't know. I just feel that this Marauder's Map was found by you, and it is willing to prompt and accept you, so you must be destined to it. And I know you, and the first word I think of you is that Three words - prank. So I tried it..."

"I see... You are too keen, Qiu Zhang. With you, we will definitely pass smoothly in the finals!"

Fred said as he excitedly stepped forward to hug Qiu Zhang, but George from behind grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back.

"Qiuzhang, this map is not only related to us, but also to you. The name you just mentioned - the Marauder's Map. It really fits the description of this magical map. From now on, we will call it the Marauder's Map. Bar!"

"Okay, that's up to you...but the point is..."

Qiu Zhang looked at the Weasley twins who were playing around with the Marauder's Map in front of them, and couldn't help but clenched his fists.

"When will you put down the Marauder's Map and study hard!!!"

"Now!"

George immediately looked away, put down the Marauder's Map, and was about to pick up the notes Qiu Zhang had prepared for the two of them on the table and start studying.

"Fred... (Heshan laughs)"

"OK, OK!"

Fred slowly put the Marauder's Map into his pocket and started reading...

Qiu Zhang was finally satisfied. The environment was now quiet and everyone was reading. It was so comfortable...

"Bang!"

"Fred!"

Qiu Zhang clenched his fists, his face full of displeasure. Looking at Fred's apologetic expression with a sneer on his face, he was about to hit him with his fists!
