After this commotion, the three ended their nighttime stroll.

As they walked up the Moving Staircase, George asked curiously, "Wizet, how did you come up with that magic spell you just used?"

Fred was equally curious. "Yes! I thought your magical items were made through Alchemy, but I didn't expect they were just magic!"

"Perhaps it's because I'm quite good at Transfiguration?" Wizet smiled slightly. "Professor Sprout told me a theory, and I incorporated it into Transfiguration."

"Professor Sprout's theory?" George and Fred exchanged a glance. "She actually had a backup plan!"

"That's true!" Fred analyzed seriously. "That swamp magic isn't as simple as it seems."

"That's right! After all, he's a professor at Hogwarts!" George nodded in agreement. "There are hardly any simple ones."

"Except Lockhart!" they said in unison, their mouths agape in unrestrained laughter.

Wizet remained noncommittal; Professor Lockhart was simply too bizarre, with a strong sense of disconnect.

"Fred, George, are you interested in that theory? I can tell you about it."

Fred's eyes lit up. "That theory? Is that something you can tell us about?"

"Isn't this Professor Sprout's secret weapon?" George asked with great interest.

"It was just a coincidence." Wizet shook her head. "I wasn't the only one listening; Luna and Hanna were there too, and we helped take care of the herbs."

"Then tell us quickly!" The Weasley twins rubbed their hands together, their movements always so perfectly synchronized.

Wizet took out his notebook and started explaining the "Magic Cube Theory" to them as he went up the stairs, leaving the two of them completely bewildered.

Compared to Wizet's classmates, Fred and George had a much better foundation in magic, and were naturally able to understand the wonders of the "Magic Cube Theory".

"So that's how you do it..." George said with a look of sudden realization, "I think we should be able to make that Nose-Biting Teacup too!"

Fred shook his head and said, "The younger generation is truly formidable! They are indeed formidable! George, don't you think we are..."

"I know what you're trying to say!" George nodded. "Indeed! Such a precious secret, and he just told us about it..."

"It's not particularly valuable." Wizet shrugged and waved his hand after hearing their conversation. "Professor Sprout told me all this."

"She's willing to tell me these things, so I have no reason to hide them from her. At most, it's just... being generous with other people's money, right?"

"But there's your own interpretation in this. That's very important!" Fred corrected him. "Since you're sharing such a valuable secret..."

"Are we the kind of people who are stingy? Wait a minute..." George reached into his pocket, fumbled around, and finally pulled out a roll of parchment.

This is an old, square roll of parchment. It looks quite old and hasn't been well cared for; the edges and corners have been touched.

Nevertheless, Wizet would not underestimate it.

In the magical world, ancient objects often possess incredible magic, making them well worth studying.

Wizet used her Magic Eye and discovered that the parchment's Magic Circuit was incredibly complex, even more so than Magic Circuit of the Mandrake, like an unsolvable ball of green thread.

The most peculiar thing is that, with the ball of yarn-like Magic Circuit as the center, the other Magic Circuit actually extend outwards, breaking away from the parchment itself and spreading in all directions like a spider web.

George wiped the sweat from his brow. "Finally found it! I hid really well to avoid Filch!"

He and Fred exchanged a glance, their expressions becoming much more subdued, with a hint of seriousness in their eyes.

Fred said, "Wizet, this is our biggest secret!"

George said, "But your identity is quite special! You're our dear materials consultant, and now you're a night owl! You can share your secrets with us now!"

Upon hearing the Weasley twins ' description, Wizet and said, "This parchment... is it related to Hogwarts Castle? Could it be a magical map?"

"Hey! What are you doing!" Fred's composed expression crumbled, and he exclaimed, "Don't be so sure... Let us finish what we have to say!"

"That's right! And then give us a surprised look... as a consolation, okay?" George blinked exaggeratedly, his eyes filled with hope.

Because he wasn't paying attention to where he was going, his toes hit the steps, and he almost fell.

"Okay...you'd better watch where you're going!" Wizet said, as he and Fred grabbed George's arms to prevent George from actually falling.

"So touching! So touching!" George pulled the two of them to sit on the steps.

George unfolded the parchment; the square parchment was blank. "Wizet, don't blink!"

He took out his wand, pressed it against the parchment, and tapped the map while saying in a solemn voice, "I solemnly swear that I will not do anything good!"

A speck of ink appeared where George's wand touched.

The ink dots spread rapidly, transforming into delicate strokes that extended across the entire parchment, actually outlining the silhouette of Hogwarts Castle.

Above the outline of Hogwarts Castle, a string of green text appeared.

Gentlemen who are dedicated to helping those who create magical pranks

Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs

Proudly presenting the Marauder's Map

The parchment, which was originally rather thin, has become much thicker, almost the size of a small booklet.

George placed the Marauder's Map in Wizet's hands. "Spread it out and take a look!"

Fred coughed lightly and murmured, "Make sure you look surprised!"

"It really surprised me!" Wizet exclaimed, his eyes widening in perfect unison. "It looks... truly amazing!"

With the help of the Magic Eye, he saw the tangled Magic Circuit unfurl, extending to every corner of the parchment, becoming much clearer.

In addition, the increased thickness of the parchment itself also utilizes Transfiguration, and it is a Transfiguration that can be maintained for a long time, which is also worth studying in depth.

This was indeed a big surprise; just observing the process of turning parchment into Marauder's Map gave Wizet a lot of new ideas.

Wizet spread out the map, which depicted Hogwarts Castle and its grounds in great detail.

What surprised Wizet the most was the black spots on the Marauder's Map.

The black spots are distributed around the college's Common Room, totaling four large patches, which should represent college students who are sleeping.

Wizet looked around and then toward the area marked "Headmaster's Office".

Headmaster Dumbledore's name was also on it, and he was pacing back and forth in the Headmaster's Office.

Professor Snape was also still awake, pacing back and forth in his office...
