Chapter 146 The Red House
Maureen carefully opened the fence of the garden, and quietly walked along the weed-covered path towards the back door of the house. The grass here was knee-deep, still fluttering with the wind, undulating and making rustling sounds.
He no longer regards this place as a false world, because there are voices every step he takes, and he must act cautiously.The back door of the house was locked, and Mo Lin pulled it twice, but the door did not budge.He tapped it with his wand, and whispered, "Alahoo hole is open."
click!
The door was opened slightly, which surprised Mo Lin. It's really weird that his magic is also useful in the painting.
He gently opened the door, the room was a little dark, the curtains around seemed to be drawn, and there was a strange smell in the air, which couldn't be said to be what it was.He walked through the back door and came to the kitchen. Coffee was still burning on the stove, and the coffee pot was still steaming, as if someone had just made coffee.
"Is the life of the people in the painting so realistic? Can they still make coffee?" Mo Lin murmured in his heart. He walked through the kitchen and came to the stairs. The stairs are made of wooden boards, sprayed with red paint, shining , spotless.
Directly opposite the stairs is the hall. This hall is decorated extremely elegantly and comfortably. Unlike the kitchen you just entered, the light here is abundant. The soft white sofa is placed next to the window, and the sun shines on the sofa, making you feel comfortable and lazy.
There are many easels in the room, and these easels are covered with a layer of gauze, so it is impossible to see what is painted on them.In the middle of the room was a round table with a parchment on it, and at the table sat a man.
"Good afternoon, Walker." The person at the table said.
Maureen was slightly startled, he had already raised his wand.
"It's evening, Professor." Maureen said nervously.
Sitting next to the table is the gentle and elegant Professor Charles!
Professor Charles smiled slightly: "You come to the world in the painting. This painting is at noon, so it is noon now."
Professor Charles looked at Maureen with great interest, and then snapped his fingers. Maureen suddenly heard a voice behind him, and he turned around suddenly, thinking that something was going to attack him, when he was about to cast a spell, Instead, he saw the coffee pot in the kitchen bypassing Maureen and flying towards Professor Charles.
"Would you like some coffee?" Two white porcelain baking cups have appeared on Professor Charles's table, and a hand is drawn on the cups: "I like this kind of cup very much. Drinking coffee in it is a kind of enjoyment. Would you like to try it?" try?"
Maureen pointed his wand at Professor Charles again, and said, "Can you drink the coffee in the painting?"
"You still don't understand, Walker."
Professor Charles looked at his cup, the coffee pot automatically filled the cup, the hand above the cup squeezed out two sugars and a packet of creamer from nowhere and threw them into the coffee in the cup, and the spoon was slowing down. Stir slowly.
He seemed satisfied with the coffee he made, picked up the cup, blew gently, tasted it, and said: "You come to the world of paintings, and the things in the paintings are real to you. That should be remembered."
"I don't know."
Mo Lin was thinking about countermeasures quickly in his mind. He was not surprised that Professor Charles appeared here. After all, he suspected him from the beginning, but he didn't understand why Professor Charles wanted to enter the painting. What kind of conspiracy was he planning? .
"Oh, of course you don't understand." Professor Charles put down the cup in his hand, then looked up at Maureen, "Not only you don't understand, even I don't understand!"
"What don't you understand?" Maureen looked at Professor Charles warily, looked around, and continued, "Where are Hugo, Lily, and Sweet?"
"There's no need to worry about this, why don't you talk about yourself first, Walker."
Professor Charles's smile is still refreshing, but in Mo Lin's eyes, this smile has changed.
"I have nothing to say. You should know how badly I did in Muggle Studies."
Maureen was still very guilty. If he really wanted to fight, he would not be the opponent of Professor Charles, but Professor Charles did not attack him immediately. Obviously, he also had a lot of questions to ask Maureen. Maureen had to settle the whole matter. clear.
"Of course, it's one thing to be bad at Muggle studies. But what I want to know more is why you alone are not affected?" Professor Charles said.
"Affect what?" Mo Lin frowned.
"Time, Maureen Walker, time, everyone must obediently follow the law of time, but you are not affected by time, and almost ruined my plan several times."
"Not affected by time?"
"Yes, yes, I used the time-turner to go back in time, but only you know what is going to happen, I don't understand why, Walker, how did you let yourself know who is missing?"
Professor Charles looked at Molin, he was not in a hurry to attack Molin, and Molin was not his opponent in this place.
"Sure enough, you stole the Time-Turner from the Department of Mysteries?"
Morin's guess was confirmed. He didn't have the ability to control time, but was not affected by the Time Converter, which explained Morin's ability to know what was about to happen.It's a pity that even Maureen didn't know why he wasn't affected by the Time-Turner.
"You're very smart, Walker. The people in the Ministry of Magic don't know where the Time-Turner is until now, only you know."
Professor Charles tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and his eyes fell on the parchment on the table: "You keep appearing where you shouldn't be, if it wasn't for this parchment, I wouldn't even be able to save myself in time plan of."
Maureen also focused on the parchment, and then he was slightly taken aback, that parchment was the Marauder's Map in James' hands!
"You also stole the Marauder's Map?" Mo Lin asked in surprise.
When someone broke into the Gryffindor boys' dormitory, James lost a lot of things, including the Marauder's Map. At first they suspected that a student did it. Only now did Maureen know that it was a teacher who did it Yes, the reason why he stole the other magic jokes is to keep people from knowing that his real target is the Marauder's Map.
"The Marauder's Map? You mean the parchment?"
Professor Charles scratched the parchment with his fingers and said, "This is indeed a good thing. You always like to run around in the castle and don't obey the rules. This is not something a good student should do."
"I never considered myself a good student," Morin said.
Mo Lin finally understood why he could not accurately grasp the key to the clues every time. Many times after going back to the past, things that should have happened did not happen as planned. It turned out that it was because Professor Charles had this in his hand. He has a clear grasp of Mo Lin's whereabouts.
"But how did you break into our Gryffindor dormitory quietly? The fat lady said that no one else entered the Gryffindor common room. If you sneaked in, the fat lady would definitely find out " Maureen asked.
"You're right, it's hard for a teacher to walk into the students' common room without being noticed." Professor Charles said with a smile: "The fat lady created by Godric Gryffindor is doing her duty, and she wants to learn from her." It's not easy to get into the Gryffindor common room, but I've managed to do it, and believe me, I know that, and I know better than anyone what the people in the paintings are thinking."
Maureen thought of something and exclaimed, "Hoyle!"
The fat lady fell in love with a handsome man in the painting, but later that person abandoned the fat lady. The fat lady angered the Gryffindor boys and changed the password to "men are heartless". The heartless man is Hoyle .
To lure the fat lady away, all you need is to let Hoyle take the fat lady out for a walk. With Professor Charles' ability, there must be a way to enter the unguarded door and take the opportunity to steal James' Marauder's Map.
"But I thought Hoyle was supposed to be..."
Maureen was a little surprised, so he had been wrong all along, he had always thought that Hoyle wanted to tell Maureen about Professor Charles' conspiracy.
"Oh, it seems that you have really investigated this matter very clearly, and you even know the name Hoyle." Professor Charles nodded approvingly, "Although your Muggle knowledge is a mess, from the perspective of wizards, You are the best student I have ever seen, and you are perfect in magic."
Maureen was not happy at all when he received such a high evaluation from Professor Charles.
"Hoyle is with you?"
Maureen clenched his wand tightly. Hoyle was a good guy in the "Wizard Tomorrow" comic strip, but he was actually an accomplice in this picture.The reason why he was with the fat lady was to help Professor Charles steal the Marauder's Map!
Maureen looked around. This house is the residence of Hoyle in the painting. Professor Charles is sitting here drinking coffee leisurely, which can explain the problem very well.
"That fat lady is so ugly and lacks taste, if it weren't for this map, I would condescend to be with her? Naive Fat Lady."
A lazy voice came from the stairs, and Maureen turned his head to see that the blond-haired Hoyle had appeared on the stairs at some point, with his back against the wall, arms folded, looking lazy.
"I should have thought that you helped him steal the Marauder's Map." Maureen stared at Hoyle warily.
"I'm just taking back what belongs to me. This is not stealing, Walker." Professor Charles said.
"It's not yours, it's James's!" Maureen emphasized.
"This isn't from the Potter kid. Maybe it's a map of Hogwarts made by a wizard, but have you ever wondered why only this parchment can make a Marauder's map, and why other parchments can't?" Can it be done? Do you know what this parchment means, Walker." Professor Charles said softly.
Maureen had indeed heard James say that the Marauder's Map could not be duplicated because the parchment material was hard to come by.
"But the parchment can't be yours. I heard that the Marauder's Map was made by James' grandfather. You are much younger than them," Molin said.
"You got the point." Professor Charles lightly stroked the edge of the Marauder's Map with his fingers, as if admiring a rare treasure: "You suddenly made me realize that I am not young!"
Professor Charles laughed again, his smile was very strange and chilling.
