Cowen and Dumbledore watched the parchment gradually turn into a map with a complex structure under the ink color rendering, and then dense names appeared on the map, and there were two corresponding points next to each name footprints.
Some footprints are walking like cartoons, while others stay in place.
"It's very interesting." Dumbledore held his glasses in his left hand and smiled while carefully observing the map: "Not only is this map interesting, but unlocking the password is also very interesting."
After looking at it for a while, Dumbledore looked up and asked, "How did this map come about?"
"The Weasley twins got it."
Ke Wen replied with some concealment, after all, it cannot be said that the twins stole it from Filch's office.
Dumbledore laughed and said, "Oh, it's them, they can always give people a little surprise."
"So..." Dumbledore asked instead, "Son, what do you want me to see on this map?"
"It's like this, sir." Cowen organized his words, and then made up a story and said, "You talked about Sirius at the dinner party before, and you know my memory."
With Dumbledore's nod, Cowen continued: "During the holiday, I just received the news that Sirius Black had escaped from prison, so I looked for the relevant newspapers of the year to find out. If I remember correctly, Sirius Black was killed. Peter Pettigrew's murderer, right?"
Hearing this, Dumbledore seemed to have thought of something regrettable, and nodded slowly with some disappointment: "Ah, that's right. Although I'm still skeptical about it, everyone else thinks so."
Cowen knew why Dumbledore showed such an expression.
Dumbledore, the 'master of ingesting spiritual thoughts', had learned from Sirius that the other party was not the murderer.
But there is no evidence, and Sirius did not defend himself because he was sad.
Therefore, relying on Dumbledore alone, he has no way to prevent Sirius from being imprisoned.
Dumbledore would naturally feel very sorry for the innocent Sirius who spent twelve years in prison.
At this time, seeing that Dumbledore was a little lost, Kewen immediately continued: "The old newspaper said that Peter Pettigrew was blown up to death, leaving only one finger, right?"
Dumbledore nodded subconsciously and said nothing.
"That's very interesting."
Ke Wen smiled slightly, and then said to Dumbledore who looked at him in surprise: "Mr. Principal, don't get me wrong, please listen to me."
"Ah...of course." Dumbledore knew that Ke Wen was not the kind of person who spoke bad words.
"Look." Ke Wen spread his hands: "You know I'm going to focus on 'Animal Transfiguration' this year, and because of the name, I thought of something."
As he spoke, Cowen held out his wand and tapped a name on the 'Marauder's Map'.
Dumbledore subconsciously followed the location pointed by Cowen, and then his pupils shrank suddenly.
Holding his glasses again, he leaned over to check the names on the 'Marauder's Map' carefully. Dumbledore couldn't help showing a look of astonishment.
"You read that right."
Cowen raised his wand slightly, and then clicked on the name of the 'Peter Pettigrew' on the map: "I saw this name when the Weasley twins showed me the map the year before last."
"But at the beginning, I didn't know what the name represented, so I never paid attention to it."
"But today you mentioned Sirius Black emphatically, so I thought of the name, and then I suddenly had some guesses."
Dumbledore seemed a little excited, took a deep breath and said, "Please go on!"
"Peter Pettigrew." Ke Wen tapped the map with his wand again: "Animal Transfiguration, and the most crucial point..."
In Dumbledore's expectation, Cowen moved his wand and finally touched Ron's name, and then said: "You may not know that Ron's pet mouse, Scabbers, happened to be missing a toe."
Boom!
As soon as Cowen finished speaking, Dumbledore suddenly slapped down the desk angrily, his face looked a little gloomy, and his eyes were fixed on the name of 'Peter Pettigrew' on the map.
After a long time, Dumbledore calmed down again, sat down slowly with a little tiredness, and then said, "Sorry, I lost my composure."
Cowen returned a look of understanding.
Sighing, Dumbledore thought for a while and said, "Can you lend me the map for a few days first?"
"Of course." Ke Wen nodded.
"Thank you, child." Dumbledore whispered, "You always give us unexpected rewards."
Hearing this, Ke Wen said sincerely: "I am also very glad to be able to help you and the professors."
"Good boy."
Dumbledore looked kindly and praised again.
…
…
Hand over all the clues to Dumbledore, and he doesn't have to worry about anything after that.
Next, Kewen will focus on 'Animal Transfiguration'.
It was also a coincidence.
A few years ago, the professors were worried about his lack of ability, so they didn't allow him to try to practice 'Animal Transfiguration'.
Last year the professors thought the time had come, but were delayed a bit by the basilisk thing.
After that, during the holidays, I couldn't spare more energy because I had to practice the "mind-reading spell".
It wasn't until the beginning of school that Kewen got rid of all the interfering factors and could finally start learning the 'Animal Transformation Technique'.
That's why he was eager to hand over all the clues to Dumbledore as soon as possible.
He didn't want any unexpected situation that required him to participate in the process of mastering the 'Animal Transformation Technique'.
Therefore, Kewen, who had nothing to do, began to start from the first step of the steps required for the 'animal transformation technique'.
First, he asked for a 'Mandrake leaf' from Professor Sprout, and then asked Zhang Qiu about the lunar calendar date.
Zhang Qiu wrote a letter to his family, and soon got the lunar calendar comparison table, which he gave to Kewen.
Then Cowen began to wait.
Waiting until the night of the full moon on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, he began to put the mandrake leaves in his mouth.
On the night of the full moon on the 15th day of the next lunar calendar, Kewen cannot swallow or spit out the herbal leaves.
It must be ensured that the herb leaves stay in his mouth for a full month, otherwise he will have to start all over again.
This experience was somewhat painful for Cowen.
You can talk less, drink water carefully, but you also have to be careful when eating, which is a bit embarrassing.
This situation caused Kewen to not have enough food for many days.
Even so, he almost swallowed the herbal leaves many times.
too difficult…
