After leaving Dumbledore's office, Twain had a folded parchment in his hand.
It was Dumbledore's toy.
After using " Buzz Buzz Honey Candy " as the activation spell, the magic line on the parchment would automatically extend, and a map of Hogwarts Castle would appear.
The map was densely packed with red dots that were either still or moving, representing the location of everyone in Hogwarts Castle. It also marked the location of all the secret passages and how to open them.
Yes, this was the Marauder's Map in the hands of the future savior, Harry Potter.
The map, which should have been made by the four Marauders (James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Pettigrew Peter), was now in Twain's hands.
The Marauder's Map certainly did not travel through time and space, nor did it have any other siblings.
Twain was very sure that the one in his hand was the one in the hands of Harry Potter in the future.
The truth was that the Marauder's Map was not made by the four aliens.
The Marauder's Map's origins have always been a mystery. It was thought to have been made by the four Marauders because of the opening spell,"I swear I'm up to no good."
It was a very bad taste, and it fit the style of the four aliens.
There were also the signatures of the four players on the map.
However, this was not something that could be explained. Just like how the opening spell of the map in front of him was " Buzz Buzz Honey Candy," there was no doubt that this was a spell that Dumbledore had set according to his personal preferences.
The activation spell could be changed.
It was like changing a password. The old password could be changed to a new one, and the player could also make some customizations, just like how the four aliens left their names on the map.
The truth was that the four aliens had accidentally obtained the Marauder's Map and modified the activation spell.
The reason why Twain was so sure was not only because of the Marauder's Map activation spell.
More importantly, the Marauder's Map was too useful.
It could monitor the movements of everyone in the castle. Other than using the same name, the impersonation methods, including the Polyjuice Potion, could not escape the detection of the map.
And the Marauder's Map could be used not only in Hogwarts Castle, but also remotely.
Harry Potter, the future savior, still carried the Marauder's Map with him when he went out to search for Horcruxes, so that he could indirectly understand what happened at Hogwarts.
This might not be very rare in a few decades, but in the era that Twain lived in, the Muggle world's first artificial satellite had not yet been launched. This kind of remote GPS positioning monitoring method was unimaginable in the Muggle world, and it was also a very magical thing in the magic world.
How could such a magical creation be the work of four Hogwarts students?
To put it bluntly, Voldemort could even make Horcruxes when he was still a student, but he was still not at the level of making the Marauder's Map. How could the four Marauders of the future be worthy of that?
If they were that powerful, Harry Potter would not have become an orphan.
And even if they had the magic level to make the Marauder's Map, they would not be able to make it without the castle founder's authority like Twain.
In fact, the Marauder's Map was made by four people, but not the four Marauders, but the four founders of Hogwarts: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff.
Most people could only see the surface of the Marauder's Map due to insufficient clearance.
The Marauder's Map would only show its true face in the hands of someone like Twain, who had the authority of a founder.
The Marauder's Map was actually a manual for all the magic circles in Hogwarts Castle, large and small. It explained in detail how to build, maintain, and destroy the magic circles from the outside.
It was no exaggeration to say that as long as there were enough resources, Twain, who had the Marauder's Map, could build a brand new Hogwarts Castle.
Dumbledore never dreamed that he would send something of utmost importance to Twain as a common toy.
But Dumbledore was not to blame.
After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, the Marauder's Map was used to keep track of the movements of everyone in the castle at all times. Moreover, it could only show the location of the other party, but not what the other party was doing.
For a wizard like Dumbledore, there were far more convenient ways to get a person's whereabouts.
Dumbledore believed that a professor or student who knew the castle like the back of his hand had used some kind of magical spell to make this map. He did not expect that the four founders of Hogwarts had actually drawn this map.
After confirming that Twain had obtained the castle's founder's authority, Dumbledore generously gave away the Marauder's Map.
On one hand, he wanted to rope them in.
On the other hand, it was to prove that he had no intention of spying on anyone in Hogwarts Castle.
Most importantly, Dumbledore believed that the Marauder's Map would not be abused only in Twain's hands.
After all, even without the Marauder's Map, Twain could still easily grasp someone's whereabouts in the castle.
Dumbledore was like that, always doing things that were meaningless but thought were noble.
And this was convenient for Twain.
Through the Marauder's Map, Tang En confirmed that Ella, Angelica, and Moody had all returned to their respective House dormitories. But when he looked toward the Slytherin lounge, he found something interesting.
His brother, Tom, was not in the Slytherin lounge, but in the office of the Slytherin Head, Slugnes.
There was no doubt that Tom had gone to ask for information from Slugnes.
This was confirmed when Twain returned to Gryffindor Tower and entered the Gryffindor lounge through the portrait of the Fat Lady.
An owl brought a letter from Tom.
Twain did not see the owl. Moody had given him the letter.
After being led back to Gryffindor Tower by the prefect, the little fatty stayed in the common room and waited for Twain to return.
Twain wrote a reply, went back to the dormitory, opened Donald Duck's cage, handed the letter to him, and opened the window to watch him fly away.
After doing all this, Twain realized that he was in the same dormitory as Moody and Hagrid.
The little giant, Hagrid, had eaten his fill and was already snoring in bed.
Moody, however, was not sleepy at all. His eyes lit up and he looked at Twain in high spirits.
