Chapter 23 Windfall
"Fufufu, Professor Forrest..."
This is the second student Sherlock met tonight, calling his last name four Fu characters, but their surname is Weasley.
George and Fred are very nervous now.
They don’t know why Sherlock, who just joined the company today, appeared here.
Of course, it was not the key to appearing here. The key was that just a minute ago, they used their secret baby living spot map in front of the newly-employed professor of Black Magic Defense.
After reacting, George hurriedly hid the map of the living spots behind him.
The next second, he and Fred laughed in a sympathetic way.
"What a coincidence Professor Forrest, you are still walking here so late. I didn't expect that we would meet you as soon as we came out."
"Yes, yes, it's already this time, and I can still meet you. It's still not too early. You'd better go back and rest early. We're going to go to bed too. Staying up late will not grow taller."
George and Fred were sloppy and laughed and planned to fool the map of the living spots. At the same time, the two turned around and walked towards the entrance of the Gryffindor lounge.
However, their behavior of covering up their ears and stealing the bell would certainly not have deceived Sherlock.
The next moment they turned around, the two men's collars were caught by Sherlock.
Fred and his two bodies suddenly stiffened.
They swallowed their saliva and looked at each other quietly, and they all saw from each other's eyes that they might not be able to escape so easily tonight.
"Uh...what else do you have? Professor Forrest, we have to go back to bed. Mom said that sleeping late is not good for health."
George also wanted to make the final resistance.
However, Sherlock had already reached his hand in front of him and said lightly.
"Take the stuff."
Knowing that he really couldn't escape, George and Fred were both sad and took out the hidden map of the living spots.
They dare not play tricks in front of Sherlock.
During the summer vacation, Mrs. Weasley told them countless times about how great their Professor Forrest was in his student days.
After graduation, I became an Auror for more than a year. Later, I felt that Auror was too bored, so I took the initiative to resign from the Ministry of Magic and specialize in magic research at home.
Then, after only less than two years of research, he had written two books related to defense spells that were praised by many masters of spells.
Not to mention anything else, it is not something that ordinary people can do if he is in his early twenties to be a professor in a major course in a thousand-year-old school like Hogwarts.
So, they dared to act against Felchi because they had been in the right way for three years and they had long guessed that Felchi was a squib.
But Sherlock is definitely not so easy to bully...at least it seems to be like this on the surface.
Sherlock took the parchment from the twins. The magic on it was still continuing at this time. He could see the magic of this parchment at a glance.
This is a magical map containing all the locations and structures of Hogwarts.
Not only in the castle, but all buildings and land on the Hogwarts campus can be presented on this map.
The most incredible thing is that the map can also show the real-time location of everyone in the school.
For example, now Sherlock can see on the map that Dumbledore was walking back and forth in his office, Felch was still running towards his residence, and Professor Flevy was chatting with Professor Sinista, who taught the common room and astronomy class.
With this map, you can know the whole of Hogwarts very well, and it is what Sherlock needs most at this time!
So he raised his head from the map of the live spots and stared at the twins with those very oppressive eyes.
"Okay, let's discuss how to solve the two Mr. Weasleys for the matter tonight."
George and Fred looked down and pleasing.
They knew very well that although Sherlock was discussing, they had no room for retaliation on this matter, and could only pray in their hearts that he would not take away the map of the living spots and tell their mother about it.
"You set up the trap in advance, and the castle administrator Felch was covered in terribles. Then you took the opportunity to run out of the lounge during curfew time and had a Hogwarts map that seemed to be contraband. No matter which of these three things is a serious violation of school rules."
When George and the others heard him say this, they were already desperate to think that Sherlock would hand them to Professor McGonagall selflessly, Sherlock's words suddenly changed.
"But you also know that my relationship with your parents is pretty good. If they were to know that their son did this at school, they would probably be very angry, so I could consider making a fuss about you."
Suddenly, George and Fred showed a look of surprise on their faces.
"I can't tell the school that you violated the school rules tonight, or even confiscate your map. But to let you know the lesson, I'll keep this map for a few days. By Christmas, if I think you're doing well in the first half of the semester, I'll give it back to you."
When they heard that the things could be brought back, George and the others immediately made a promise.
"We promise to be honest and obedient Professor Forrest in the next few months!"
"I hope this is best."
George and Fred dare not ask for too much. It was already a surprise that Sherlock could promise to return the map to them in the future.
Besides, they only guarantee to be honest and obedient in the next few months. When they get the map of the live spots back, they will be different.
So the two of them asked carefully.
"Can we go back to bed now? Professor."
But Sherlock handed them the map of the living spots.
"Cancel the magic on this map."
Fred honestly took the map, raised his wand in front of Sherlock, and recited a spell at the map of the living spots.
"The prank is over!"
The next moment his wand hit the map, all the lines on the parchment shrink in the middle, and finally gathered into a dot of ink and disappeared completely on the paper, and the map of the live spots became ordinary parchment.
The spells that were opened and closed were all recorded by Sherlock, and he took the map back from Fred's hand, then nodded to indicate that they could go back to sleep.
At this time, the twins turned around and said a secret code to the portrait of the fat lady at the entrance of the Gryffindor lounge, ending the night tour that was forced to end before it even started.
Sherlock was the only one left in the silent castle corridor.
He looked at the ordinary parchment in his hand and gently tapped it with his magic wand.
"I solemnly swore that I won't do good things!"
Then countless ink lines emerged from the middle of the parchment paper, stretching around like a swimming snake, and finally forming a real-time map of Hogwarts.
