Chapter 224 Returning the Marauder's Map
Chapter 224 Returning the Marauder's Map
At dinner time, Harry and his two friends found Sainz in the auditorium.
"Excuse me, I need to speak to Harry alone."
"Sainz, is there something you can't say here?" Harry was a little embarrassed.
Ron wanted to say something but was pulled away by Hermione.
"I have something to give you. I don't want too many people to know about it before I give it to you. Of course, it's yours after I give it to you. You have the right to decide whether to tell your friends."
"Thank you." Harry seemed relieved.
"Come with me, Harry. There are many people here. I guarantee you don't want too many people to know about that thing."
Sainz took Harry to an empty classroom and said, "Here, take it."
"I'm sorry, Sainz, I know you gave me this for a reason, but... why do I need such a tattered... uh... old parchment?"
"Don't be impatient, Harry. I certainly won't be idle and come to play a prank on you. It has a spell."
"What spell?"
"Your wand!"
"Wand?"
"Light it with a wand?"
"Oh...but...where should I click?" Harry looked a little confused.
"Anywhere, as long as I touch it...Okay...Now chant...I solemnly swear that I will do no good!"
"sorry?"
"Yes, that's it. Read it!"
"I solemnly swear that I will not do bad things!"
As Harry cast the spell, the Marauder's Map began to reveal its true form where his wand touched it.
"Wow!" Harry looked at the activated map in surprise, with an incredible look on his face.
"It has words on it: Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs... The Marauder's Map..."
"Don't be too busy admiring it, Harry. It has another spell to put it away. Click it again and the prank is over!"
"The prank is over!"
Harry looked at the Marauder's Map, which had turned into a blank piece of parchment again, with a puzzled look on his face: "I'm sorry, Sainz, I can see that it's very valuable..."
"Are you wondering why I gave it to you?"
"Yes, I like it very much...but...but why don't you keep it for yourself..."
"For two reasons, Harry. One is that it's not really of much use to me.
There is another reason, which is the main reason, because in a sense, it originally belongs to you, or you are the most qualified to hold it!"
Harry seemed even more confused, "Sorry, Sainz, I don't really understand."
"Harry, did you see those names on it just now? Those are the people who made it."
"I see. Moony-face, Wormtail and all that."
"Yes, those are the people. I think you are most qualified to hold it because of them."
Sainz motioned Harry not to interrupt, "Harry, a while ago, for some reasons, I became interested in some things, and accidentally associated them with these people, so I did some research.
Harry, as long as something has happened, there will always be some traces left. Besides, Hogwarts is not very big, and some things have not happened for a particularly long time. I discovered some things during the investigation."
Harry understood a little, "Are there any things you found that are related to me?"
"Clever, Harry, a lot of this does concern you?"
Harry's eyes darkened, "Another one related to the Savior?"
"Harry, it has already happened. There is no point in denying it. What happened back then is an unavoidable wedge in the history of magic. Let's not talk about this. I discovered that these people are related to you."
Harry immediately realized something and looked excited: "My mom and dad! Really, Sainz, really?"
"Although it's not complete, it is definitely related to your parents. How about you make another guess?"
Harry cast a spell to awaken the Marauder's Map again. "These four names seem to be nicknames. None of them look like females... You just said it incompletely, so... then it is only related to my father, right?"
clap clap!
Sainz clapped his hands softly. "Smart! At least that's what I see from the information I have.
I have some guesses as to which one it is, but if you want to hear it, I can tell you directly. If you want to figure it out yourself, you might as well just treat it as an interesting puzzle!
How about following in the footsteps of our fathers?"
Harry hesitated for a moment.
"There's no need to rush. If my guess is correct, you'll probably know the answer soon."
"Really?" Harry seemed even more confused.
In his heart, Sainz actually hates the Riddler's behavior, but if the Riddler is none other than himself, Sainz has to say: It's still quite interesting.
"Harry, didn't I tell you that I discovered some things? These things are not just some old news from previous years. Some things are very serious. I told Dumbledore about that part."
"Headmaster!" Harry began to realize the seriousness of the problem and became a little nervous.
"Don't be nervous, Harry, you still don't believe in Dumbledore?
He will take care of everything, and I believe it won’t take too long before you know everything.”
"I'm sorry, Sainz, can't you just tell me?"
“Which part?
Is it speculation about which of those four guys is your dad, or everything?"
“Everything!
I don’t want to be so confused!”
"I'm sorry, Harry, I can't tell you everything. After all, a lot of this is just my own speculation without any actual evidence. I can't use inaccurate information to influence your judgment. That would not be good for you.
Harry, I didn't mean to tease you by telling you half the story. I was just afraid that if what I said was actually wrong, it would create a false impression for you and would create a curtain for the truth that might come out. "
Harry nodded in approval.
"Trust Dumbledore, Harry. Believe that he can find some facts. Knowing the truth is better than knowing some specious and confusing news. And, I believe it won't take too long."
Harry seemed to have some associations of his own and looked a little uncertain. Sainz patted him on the shoulder and said, "Harry, since you believe in Dumbledore, then please believe that he will have his own judgment. Before he decides to tell you something, just keep the status quo."
I don't know if Harry heard it or not, but he nodded to show that he understood.
"Harry, don't worry about things you can't control. Now, think about something happy. Think about what you can do with this picture."
After all, he is just a thirteen-year-old child. Even if he is a little more thoughtful, he cannot stop the nature of teenagers who like to play. After hearing Sainz's words, he began to look at the picture carefully.
"Wow! So clear! This is Professor McGonagall, this is Hermione and Ron, and this is me... Huh?"
"Didn't find me?"
"Ah."
Sainz said calmly: "I blocked it."
Harry didn't know how difficult it was, so he just said softly, "Oh..."
