Chapter 1063 Bigfoot, Moon Face, Weasley Twins

Chapter 1063 Padfoot, Moony Face, and the Weasley Twins

Hogwarts, an office located in the corner of the second floor of the castle.

Last year, this place was still an idle empty classroom, but with the expansion of Hogwarts' faculty and staff, it was requisitioned by Sirius Black as his personal office - just like Professor McGonagall's office, Black's

The bedroom is just behind the office.

Compared to the gloomy and dilapidated old Black family house, Sirius preferred to call this place "home".

"Okay, relax, I'm not Professor McGonagall -"

Sirius said, walking around the room and finding a kettle and several tea sets.

"Well, would you like a cup of tea? I have secretly hidden some good things, but I promised Professor Dumbledore that I will not introduce you to things that are not suitable for your age to try - Remus, what do you want?

?Tea or coffee, or I'll get some pumpkin juice."

"Just plain water, Sirius."

Lupine smiled and shook his head, watching Sirius Black busy in the office.

I have to say that Sirius looks much better now than when he just returned from Azkaban.

At least when he said the suggestion "Go catch Padfoot tonight, the successor of Moon Face", Lupine could see the shadow of the demon king in the past in his eager black eyes - he finally began to get rid of the troubles in the past.

, and gradually came out.

Of course, part of the reason why Lupine agreed to Sirius's "joint hunting" plan lay in tonight's "prey".

"By the way, don't stand at the door. Put your things on the table and sit down."

Lupine said easily, smiling at the Weasley twins who were standing warily by the door.

"If you say that Arthur's sons are all well-behaved guys, I would be surprised. Your father was also the castle administrator's number one target when he was in Gryffindor - getting some food in the kitchen is nothing.

It’s originally the welfare of Hogwarts students.”

"Uh, oh, okay. Professor Lupin."

George and Fred looked at each other and sat down on the sofa in the room with some restraint.

On the other side, Sirius Black finally found the tea bag. He tapped the kettle with his wand, and a burst of steam suddenly spurted out from the spout.

"Anyway, let's get to the point quickly."

Sirius laughed happily and directed the kettle to fill the teacups respectively.

"When did you find that map and how did you figure it out? But as far as I know, this thing should have been placed in the pile of contraband that Filch collected. I thought it was thrown away before.

By the way, do you think this magic map is useful?"

Fred and George were stunned, and they suppressed all the explanations they had planned.

Through the faint smoke rising from the tea cup, Sirius Black's eyes sparkled.

"What, what map...Professor Black."

Fred Weasley laughed dryly, trying to seize the last bit of luck.

"Oh, the parchment is flying -"

Sirius Black grinned and tapped his wand lightly.

Immediately afterwards, a small piece of old blank parchment jumped out of Fred's pocket.

Before George and Fred could react - in fact, they were so nervous that they were almost stupid - Lupine stretched out his hand and gently caught the parchment thrown high in the air, his slender fingers

The edges of the old parchment were rubbed, as if seeing an old friend.

Lupine turned his head and exchanged glances with Sirius, with a strange and mysterious expression on his face.

"This is just a piece of... old parchment..." George Weasley said in a weak voice.

"Hmm? Really? Do you like to call it 'shabby parchment'?"

Sirius shrugged noncommittally and scratched his hair in distress.

"I thought the Marauder's Map would be a better name? Remus, I'd say it's too common a name."

As he spoke, his wand lightly touched the parchment.

The parchment folded into a small piece was quickly unfolded, and thin ink lines like a spider web began to spread outward from the place where the wand touched. These lines merged with each other, crossed each other, and extended to every corner of the parchment. In the blink of an eye,

The time turned into an exquisite map.

Immediately afterwards, writing began to appear on the top of the parchment, and several lines of green cursive text appeared clearly.

"Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs"

"Gentlemen who are here to help the makers of magical mischief."

"Introducing"

"[Marauder's Map]"

This map details all the details of Hogwarts Castle and various locations.

But the real wow factor is the tiny dots of ink that move along the map.

Each ink dot is marked with a name in tiny letters, the ghost's name, and Mrs. Norris's name are all on top, and in the office at the end of the corridor on the second floor of the castle, George Weasley, Frey

De Weasley's ink dots were obediently motionless, and opposite them were Sirius Black and Remus Lupin, two ink dots that looked slightly different - they seemed to be slightly larger.

.

"How do you know... uh, the Marauder's Map?"

Fred's body strength seemed to have been drained, and he said with some despair.

And George wasn't much better. Everyone got the stolen goods. This may be their biggest failure in history.

You know, the one sitting across from me is the castle administrator and transfiguration professor, and the other is the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

"Oh, because this is what we did when we were students."

Professor Lupine said, handing George a cup of tea and smiling gently.

"This world is a strange place, isn't it? Stop scaring these two kids, Padfoot."

"So, let me introduce myself—I, Padfoot."

Sirius Black patted Lupine on the shoulder and pointed his wand at the green line at the top of the map.

"As for Professor Lupine, his nickname when he was a student was Moon Face. Okay, now you can answer us, how did you get this Marauder's Map and how did you tinker with it? Of course, the most important thing is,

How did you feel after using it before?!"

"Uh, eh?! This, this is what you drew?!"

George was stunned for half a second, his eyes lingering on the faces of the two professors.

Finally, under Professor Luping's gentle smile, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief and took a sip of tea to calm down.

In the past four years, he and Fred had praised the authors of the activity map more than once. The makers of this magical map, which had been designed to help a new generation of rule-breakers from the beginning, could be said to be the Weasley twins.

The number one "school idol" that brothers most want to meet.

Although this "fan meeting" is a bit unexpected now, after a brief period of hesitation, those shocks quickly began to turn into excitement.

You know, as the new generation of "Kings of Pranks", the Weasley twins are fearless masters.

"It's great! To be honest, we owe you a lot - well, the moon - uh -"

"If you feel awkward, just call me Professor Lupin."

Lupine shrugged, keenly catching George Weasley's hesitation.

He is now in his thirties and has been a professor for almost a year. Of course he can understand the other party's embarrassment.

"It can be seen that you used it well - if it weren't for Sirius...well, Professor Black is faster, we almost couldn't stop you before you entered the secret passage. But I am still curious about how you found it

This 'worn parchment'."

"Ahem, ahem, the Marauder's Map!" Fred said a little embarrassed, making a face, "This goes back to the first grade -"

"First grade?" Sirius raised his eyebrows with interest.

This was earlier than the rest of them had awakened. No wonder Dumbledore would deliberately mention these two brothers to him.

"Well, when we were in first grade, Professor Black—young, innocent, carefree—"

Sirius made a rather playful snort.

He felt that lines like this would have looked like James's shamelessness ten years ago.

"—well, more naive than we are now—we had a little run-in with Mr. Filch."

"We put a big dung bomb in the hallway, and for some reason that little joke frustrated him—"

"So he pulled us into his office and started threatening to introduce the administrator—"

"—confinement—"

"—take out our intestines—"

"——And we couldn't help but notice the drawers of his filing cabinet. One of the drawers said: Confiscated materials, highly dangerous."

"Oh, don't tell me -" Sirius listened with interest and couldn't help laughing.

"Well, yeah, it's a temptation that's hard to resist, right?" Fred said. "George threw another dung bomb to distract him, and I took the opportunity to quickly open the drawer and grab...

This is a legacy item from the Hogwarts Mischievous Spirit."

"Of course as a price, my mother sent two letters the next day, very festive red."

"But it's not as bad as it sounds, right?"

Sirius Black patted Fred on the shoulder and said with a tone of relief as if he had someone to succeed him, "If you dare to take risks in front of the angry castle administrator, I roughly understand why the 'Marauder's Map' will directly recognize you.

.You are quite courageous.”

"Well, we guess Filch never discovered how to use this parchment. But he may have had some idea of ​​what it was."

George shrugged noncommittally and said seriously.

"Honestly, it may have taught us more than the teachers in the school - except for the courses you teach."

"Hey, if you say this before 'self-introduction', the effect may be ten times better."

Lupine couldn't help but laugh, and he turned his head to look at Sirius.

"So, what do you think of these two kids? Padfoot."

"I think it's good——"

Sirius Black rubbed his chin, waved to Fred, and put his arm around his shoulder.

"Do you know what the punishment is for being caught hanging out at Hogwarts at night?"

"Uh - detention?"

"correct answer."

Sirius snapped his fingers and said happily.

"George Weasley, Fred Weasley, as a result of our smooth communication, your night parade tonight will not cause points to be deducted from Gryffindor House, but the confinement of the two of you will be tomorrow night.

It starts at nine o'clock, and the location is in this office."

"What?!"

"No, Professor Black!"

"Sorry, I am a castle administrator now, this is my duty."

Sirius shrugged his shoulders, admired the expressions of the Weasley twins with satisfaction, and grinned.

"Don't be so sad. I heard that in this weekend's house competition, you two will compete in the fourth-year duo? I don't want to see Snape's proud face that day, so... Padfoot and Moony Face

, I plan to give you some special after-school training."

"After class... special training?" Fred repeated, seeming to have some concerns.

"What? You don't seem happy?"

Sirius frowned, thinking about how to persuade further.

Little wizards at this age are somewhat rebellious, especially when it comes to tutoring at the expense of fun time.

"Don't worry, as compensation, after the training is over, I will allow you to wander around the castle and have fun - as if it is to assist the castle administrator in patrolling. Remus and I will also give you corresponding support in terms of homework.

Be more relaxed and it won't squeeze your entertainment time."

To be fair, when he and Lu Ping were at this age, a few people would get together and have fun after class every day.

When they become Hogwarts professors, they naturally know how to put themselves in someone else's shoes, so that the little wizards can more easily accept his point of view.

"No, Professor, I'm a little confused - this matter should be kept highly confidential, right?"

Fred shook his head slowly, considered his words carefully and spoke carefully.

"Oh, I understand. Do you want to tell your classmates and show off a little?"

Professor Luping nodded thoughtfully and smiled gently, "You can actually wait until the end of the competition, or simply make a few mysterious remarks, which is easier for people to admire. After all, this is a secret weapon that starts the stove in advance.

, once exposed, the effect will be greatly reduced."

Most young wizards are somewhat vain.

James Potter was like this back then, and Lupine felt that he could understand the thoughts of these two little guys.

"Well, actually it's not..."

Fred scratched his cheek and said a little embarrassedly.

"Well, it's mainly Angelina. She and I just started dating not long ago - we have to report our schedule."

"...Girlfriend? Report?"

"Well, professor, do you have any love skills?"

Fred nodded seriously and looked at Lupin expectantly.

"Uh - well -"

Lupine was stunned for half a second, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Sirius.

As an innocent wizard who has been single for more than thirty years, this question completely touches his blind spot.

However, it is obvious that Sirius cannot "put himself in his shoes" - he is no better than Lupine. He spent most of his time in Azkaban after graduation, and the nearest witch next door is Bella.

madman.

When he was in school, he mainly focused on bullying Snape. He had almost zero experience in relationships and girlfriends. He only had the stories of James and Lily as reference, but that obviously couldn't be settled into a relationship.

What personal experience.

"Ahem, the girlfriend you are dating? Hmm..."

Sirius pondered for a few seconds, then waved his hand lightly, "This is simple, just say you are with George."

"Uh, I'm afraid not-"

George Weasley smiled wryly and touched his nose.

"Why, you also need to report here? You also have a girlfriend?!"

Sirius twitched the corners of his mouth and glanced at the two young wizards in front of him with dissatisfaction.

How come these two little guys started falling in love when they were only in fourth grade?

Even James didn't succeed until the second semester of sixth grade.

"No, Taozi is not my girlfriend..."

"Oh, are you still pursuing it? It doesn't matter anymore, it's just a week--"

Sirius grinned and patted George Weasley on the shoulder.

Although the two brothers looked almost exactly the same, he obviously found the little wizard more pleasing to the eye at this moment.

"No...Meryl, she..."

George Weasley sighed deeply and said helplessly.

"She is my fiancée. After she graduates this year, we may get married."

Sirius:???

He suddenly felt that these twin brothers were not so cute anymore.
