When leaving the castle, Ron was still holding his head and crying out in pain.

Because Fred and George quietly used magical props to punch him twice.

Their techniques are recorded in <One Hundred Ways to Prank Ron>.

"Then how do we avoid the patrolling Professor Snape?"

Ron covered his head and spoke, sometimes even if he knew who the murderer was, he couldn't take revenge.

Fortunately, the two of them were very measured, and they had just reached the limit that Ron could hold back without screaming.

"Not everyone can become a believer in the great Green,"

Fred exaggeratedly pulled something out of his cloak and placed it in Sean's hand. It was a large square Parchment, very worn, with nothing on it.

"What is this?"

Ron is puzzled.

"This, Ron, is the secret of our success."

George patted Parchment lovingly and said.

"We wouldn't have taken it out if it hadn't been for the call of the great Green."

Fred said.

"But I...Sean What's the use of an old Parchment?"

Ron asked.

"An old piece of Parchment!"

Fred closed his eyes and made a face, as if Ron had hurt him deeply,

"Explain, George."

"Well... we were in first grade--young, carefree, innocent--"

Ron chuckled, and he doubted whether Fred and George were innocent at all.

"Ouch!"

Ron soon paid the price for his smile.

Ron looked at the two of them complainingly, but Sean was obviously laughing too.

But he was relieved the next second, okay, Sean is always different.

"--ah ha, more innocent than now--we had a little trouble with Filch back then."

"We put a Dungbomb in the hallway and for some reason it pissed him off--"

"So he pulled us into his office and started threatening us with his usual threats -"

"--confinement--"

"--disemboweled--"

"--and we couldn't help but take aim at one of his filing cabinet drawers, which was marked 'Confiscated Items, Highly Dangerous'."

"So-"

Sean guessed it.

"Hey, if it were you, the great Green, what would you do?"

Fred said,

"George threw another Dungbomb to divert his attention. I immediately opened the drawer and caught - this one."

"It's not as bad as it sounds, you know,"

George said,

"We estimate that Filch never figured out how to use it. But he may have guessed what it was, otherwise he wouldn't have confiscated it."

"Do you know how to use it?"

"Oh,"

Fred smiled proudly,

"This little baby has taught us more than all the teachers in the school."

The two pulled out their magic wands, tapped Parchment lightly, and said:

"I solemnly swear that I will not do bad things."

In an instant, thin lines of ink spread like a spider web from where the tip of George's wand touched, connecting with each other, criss-crossing, and extending to every corner of Parchment;

Then words appeared on the top, in large green cursive letters:

[Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs]

[Gentlemen who are here to help magic mischief makers]

[Introducing]

[Marauder's Map]

Marauder's Map...

"I can..."

Sean just spoke, Fred held up the map like a treasure:

"Great Green, your loyal followers proudly present to you--"

"Marauder's Map--"

George took the call,

"Anyway, we know it by heart."

He blinked.

Sean holds Parchment in his hand. This map depicts Hogwarts Castle and all the details of the site, but the most unusual thing is that there are many small black dots moving on the map, each with a name in very small fonts.

A black dot with a mark in the upper left corner shows that Professor Dumbledore is pacing in the study; the administrator Filch is patrolling on the third floor; Peeves, who loves to make pranks, is jumping around in Trophy Room at the moment.

Sean and Ron glanced up and down the familiar corridors, and suddenly discovered something new. There were also some passages on the map that they had never walked through, many of which seemed to lead to--

Hogsmeade.

And just halfway there, a footprint named "Gert" was pacing back and forth.

"Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, Prongs."

George took a picture of the map title and sighed,

"Thanks to them."

"You noble man who works tirelessly to help a new generation of disciplinary students."

Fred said solemnly.

These words made Sean somewhat silent. The order of these names was reversed, which is the order in which Marauders passed away.

Starting from James, to Sirius, Peter, Lupin...

The world of magic is always shrouded in something like fate. The stories here seem to have their origins and their return.

It is hard for Sean to think that this is an accident, especially after contacting Astronomical Magic, but Centaur Teacher told him:

"Centaur's tribe has believed in fate for more than seven centuries, but if fate wants us to perish one day, then it will no longer be fate.

It's just something that requires courage to resist."

"Okay, let's go quickly!"

Fred said happily.

Several people also set off.

Under the moonlight, Sean could see a name flashing next to Ron:

"Peter."

Sean is inexplicably confused. If he can see it, there is no reason why Fred and George don't know.

So, they watch Ron and a man named Peter resting together every day without talking or asking?

Sean is more likely to think that they didn't pay much attention to it, or that they regarded Peter as a ghost or something.

After all, they don't use Marauder's Map all the time.

After sending away Ron.

Sean The three returned to Hogwarts Castle.

Tomorrow morning, Shopkeeper Gurt will send Ron back safely.

And the cost of Ron's purchase of the wand was also fully sponsored by Gemini.

"Great Green, we want to remind you,"

George said briskly,

"Don't forget to dispose of it after use--"

"--otherwise everyone can see it."

Fred warned.

"Just tap it again and say: 'Mischief Managed!' and it becomes a blank sheet of paper again."

After the twins finished speaking, they ran away quickly, leaving Sean in the shadows quietly looking at each name.

Until he saw the word Ginny suddenly appear, returning to Gryffindor Tower.

He understood that Tom was more cunning, more impatient, or in other words, arrogant than he thought.

He put away the activity map - Weasley twins always provided him with a lot of help unintentionally - and walked deeper into the castle.

Now, while Tom is not taking action, he should take action.
