50. The Bankrupt Beggar’s Version Of The Marauder’s Map

Hermione was already staring at the Hufflepuff table.

She snorted angrily upon seeing Wayne and Cho talking and laughing.

The little witch immediately stood up when Wayne stood up and waved to her.

The two girls followed him to the black lake, leaving the castle behind.

Wayne introduced the two of them.

"This is Hermione Granger, the new Gryffindor this year. You can also call her Miss Know-it-all."

"This is Cho Chang, Ravenclaw's second-year senior and the most outstanding female seeker in the school."

Both girls rolled their eyes.

How can you introduce others like this?

Hermione even angrily pinched Wayne's arm.

This nickname was given to her by Snape. Hermione originally hated it, but now hearing Wayne say it would be even more annoying.

With a common target to attack, Hermione and Cho shared a mutual dislike and soon got to know each other.

Wayne then had a thought in his mind and summoned Fox over.

Since the Fox hatched, there has been a vague connection between the two. They could sense it at any time, even if they were far apart.

The fire exploded and Fox flew out of it. And it wasn't over yet, because Fawks, who had been following since morning, also flew out.

The two girls' eyes gleamed, and they couldn't help but want to get closer.

Although Wayne thought Fox was average-looking, in the eyes of Cho and Hermione, he was very beautiful.

Especially with his beautiful and soft feathers, exuding a faint light.

The whole bird looked full of sanctity.

Fawks was a little worse. It seemed to be on the verge of nirvana. The luster of its feathers was a little dull, but it was still full of vitality.

"Where did you go to play?" Wayne ruffled Fox's feathers and asked softly.

Two birds chirped twice.

"Unicorn?" Wayne's eyes lit up.

"How many are there?"

"Chirp! Chirp!"

"Just three, that's not bad."

Wayne nodded and made up his mind to go take a look when he had time.

He was also a fan of unicorns. Pure creatures that appear in various legends.

Seeing Hermione and Cho still standing there without moving, Wayne waved his hand. "Come here, Fox is easy to get along with, but don't touch his crown."

After receiving his permission and seeing that Fox had no intention of objecting, the two women came forward to take a closer look and took out the snacks they had just prepared.

Wayne also took out some white leaves and ash snake eggs from his pocket.

"Hey, Phoenix likes to eat healing herbs and fire-attribute materials."

This was given by Dumbledore just now, it was a timely gift.

Both Fox and Fawks obediently ate. Cho and Hermione carefully reached out and stroked Fox's feathers.

He happily narrowed his eyes.

It was warm and comfortable."By the way, Dumbledore has allowed you to live in the Forbidden Forest," Wayne told Fox.

"If you want to play, be careful and remember to treat others' injuries," Wayne warned.

The fun he talks about is naturally killing monsters and upgrading. However, the Forbidden Forest also has its food chain. If Fox acts too wantonly, it will destroy the balance inside.

"Chirp! Chirp!"

Fox raised his head proudly and waved its wings twice, as if to say, "You can rest assured if I do it."

Wayne was speechless, hoping that there wouldn't be any trouble.

"Wayne, why does Fox have a crown on his head but Fawks doesn't?" Hermione suddenly asked.

"Because my Phoenix is the king, Fawks is not," Wayne replied.

"Boast."

"You'll know soon."

...

The two birds flew away contentedly after eating and drinking, and Hermione and Cho also had their fill.

At this time, Hermione asked, "You said you had something to do with me during class, tell me now."

Cho looked at the two of them and said, "Then I'll leave first."

"No," Wayne waved his hand, "Even if you don't come today, I will still ask for your help."

Cho became interested, "How else can I help you?"

In her eyes, Wayne has outstanding talent. He has mastered wandless spellcasting, and he bought Nimbus 2000 in the first grade, so he is not short on money.

She really couldn't think of anything Wayne needed her help with.

Wayne took out two pieces of thick parchment from his bag and handed one to Hermione and one to Cho.

"I plan to start a small business. Hufflepuff doesn't need to worry, but other houses will need help."

"What's this?"

There is nothing written on the parchment, but the decorative patterns and designs are very beautiful.

The edge of Hermione's parchment was golden red, and two majestic lions were painted on the opposite corners of the parchment.

The autumn one had azure patterns, and the animals had turned into soaring eagles.

"Click with your wands."

The two women did as he asked, and a ball of ink suddenly appeared on the originally blank parchment, spreading quickly and turning into a map.

"Is this a map of Hogwarts Castle?" Hermione looked at him in surprise.

"Yes, but this is more than just a map. As long as you are in the castle, you can observe your position and the real-time movement of the stairs," Wayne explained.

Cho's curiosity was also aroused, "Is it really that magical?"

Wayne shrugged, "Why don't you find out if you try it?"

The three returned to the castle again, and sure enough, everyone had a mark on the map.

Wayne is a badger, Hermione is a lion, and Cho is an eagle.

As they moved, their icons moved too.

When they came to the stairs, Hermione checked and found that the running pattern of the stairs was the same as what was shown on the map. Even as they approached the treacherous staircase, a reminder on the map cautioned against running or stepping forcefully.

"That's incredible," Cho exclaimed, turning to Wayne. "Did you create this?"

"Of course," Wayne replied, a hint of pride in his voice. "I've been studying it for over a week."

Cho applauded in agreement. "Wayne, you're amazing. With this map, I'll never be late again."

Hermione fell silent. She had been studying diligently during this period, trying to keep up with Wayne. But as she looked at the map, a sense of despair washed over her. How could she ever hope to catch up with someone so exceptional?
