The Real Hogwarts Chapter 78 Marauder's Map
"To be honest, I don't understand why Dolohov even had to set up a storage room on the first floor. Wouldn't it be more convenient to have a room next to his office?"
Crabbe scratched his head and grinned.
They were already walking out of the office, and Draco spoke proudly, as if he knew some secrets.
"The room on the first floor is not a storage room at all. I heard from senior students that the room was actually the office of the previous administrator. However, after Dolokhov became the administrator, he despised the room and not only did he not choose to inherit it, he also used it as a 'garbage station'..."
The sounds of their footsteps and conversation gradually faded away. After they left, Jon stood up from under the table, looking thoughtful.
Even if he still remembered the general plot of the original book, he couldn't remember every detail so clearly. For example, he didn't know where Filch's office was in the original book.
However, Draco's boastful speech about stealing things helped him a lot.
It turned out that this office was moved in later by Dolohov, and Filch's original office was abandoned on the first floor as a storage room!
Jon did not continue wasting time in Dolohov's office. He put on his invisibility cloak and quickly walked downstairs. However, he did not immediately go to the utility room that Draco mentioned. Instead, he went into the bathroom, took off his invisibility cloak , and went to meet Hermione and the others.
He has already wasted enough time. If he continues to disappear like this, it will be okay for others, but if Hermione is so careful, she might be able to discover the problem.
Several other second-year students were found in the bathroom that needed cleaning. Because boys and girls worked in different bathrooms, the boys didn't notice anything unusual about Jon being away for so long. They just thought he had diarrhea and stayed in the bathroom too long .
No one would slack off after they started working. These kids were only 12 years old and had innocent minds. Everyone had fallen into this situation and they just wanted to be more united. No one would play any ulterior motives.
While cleaning, Jon intentionally or unintentionally asked a boy named Hanton next to him.
"I heard there's a storage room on the first floor that Mr. Dolokhov uses to store contraband?"
After hearing what Jon said, Hanton thought for a while before nodding.
"Mr. Dolohov seems to sometimes store things in a room on the first floor. It's the third room on the left after entering the hallway. But that place is a restricted area for us. Try not to get close to it. Otherwise, even if you don't go in, he will say that we have violated school rules and find reasons to punish us."
He seemed to have thought of some bad memories and his body shuddered, but he did not forget to remind Jon.
Jon said, waving his hand.
"I just heard someone talk about this and asked casually. I wouldn't be stupid enough to offend Mr. Dolokhov."
Hamton just made a casual reminder. He didn't think Jon would do anything bold because in their impression, "Randy" had always been a very timid person.
After finishing the work in the bathroom, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
The exhausted Mudblood students returned to their dormitories under the supervision of the prefects, and then Dolohov locked the big iron door, announcing the end of the day.
As the night deepened, Jon lay in bed counting the time silently. When he estimated that it was almost midnight, he got up from the bed.
Jon put on the invisibility cloak skillfully, drew out his wand, gently opened his door and walked out of the dormitory.
He left the "cell" where the Mudbloods were imprisoned, and came from the basement to the corridor on the first floor. Then, according to the information provided by Hamton in the evening, he found the third locked utility room on the left at the end of the hallway.
John used the unlocking spell to open the door. He closed the door again in the dark and then waved his wand again under the invisibility cloak.
"Lumos."
A faint light illuminated the small room.
There were a lot of messy magic joke props piled up around. These were all miscellaneous things that Dolohov had collected from the mixed-race students. Among them, Jon saw a clown mask with red eyes, a fake tongue twisting on the ground like a snake, and a ball in the shape of a zombie head rolling back and forth.
He didn't even look at these prank props that were considered weird at midnight, but walked straight to a wooden cabinet placed in the corner.
After clearing away all the things piled around the wooden cabinet, he began to check every item stored in the cabinet one by one.
Finally, when he found the third row at the bottom of the cabinet, he vaguely saw a line of words marked on the second drawer on the right - "Confiscated items, highly dangerous."
When Jon saw this line of words, he breathed a sigh of relief. He opened the drawer and sure enough, he found a worn blank parchment inside!
Jon reached out and took the parchment out of the drawer, looking very serious.
If someone who didn't know the inside story, they would not notice anything different about this parchment. It was like a piece of waste paper that had been forgotten by its owner in a corner for a long time and had not been used. But for Jon, he knew very well how to use this "waste paper".
He raised his wand and tapped the parchment, speaking softly.
"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."
Then, a black ink spot appeared at the place where his wand hit, and then black lines spread out around the ink spot and continued to spread out in all directions. Soon the black lines covered the entire parchment, outlining the entire map of Hogwarts on it!
Not only the map, but also the name of everyone currently in the castle are all presented on the map.
He saw the names of Severus Snape, Antonius Dolohov, Draco Malfoy, and others.
Late at night, no one was walking around, and the names of both students and teachers remained quietly in their lounge.
And right above this map, there is a text written by its creators.
[Moonie, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs, gentlemen who are dedicated to helping magical mischief makers, grandly introduce the Marauder's Map! ]
