William and the others were helpless looking at the map.
The map maker seems to have thought of all the decryption spells, enough to prevent the little wizard from forcibly cracking the map.
But without knowing the secret order, it is impossible to use this map freely, and it is impossible to monitor Snape's drug storage room for a long time to find out who the attacker is.
William stared at the map without speaking.
George comforted: "It's okay, William, the big deal is that we increase the frequency of pranks. Although it is slower, we will be able to complete the thousand small goals published on the map sooner or later."
But William's dark green pupils were still staring at the map, as if thinking about something.
"What's the matter, William?" Cedric asked. "Do you have any idea?"
"There are indeed some." William asked, "I remember the way to get the secret order, isn't it the only one?"
George dragged his chin and said, "It is true, but William, I don't think there is anything missing from this map."
Of course, there is more than one way to decipher this map.
The quickest way is to use powerful magic to untie it directly and violently.
But that requires a very powerful Confusion Charm to confuse the map, and the four of them, William, can't even use the Confusion Charm, let alone confuse the map.
The second way to crack is to complete a certain number of difficult pranks according to the requirements of the map, and the map will automatically tell the secret order.
This is the stupidest way.
It is also the only way a few people can be sure.
If the Weasley brothers continue to maintain high-intensity mischief, they will probably be able to complete this task next year.
The third type is to find a secret that the creator of the map does not know.
As George said, it's hard!
This map shows the producers' knowledge of Hogwarts. They are very confident that Hogwarts has no reservations or secrets about them.
They are also confident that there are no unexplored areas.
If someone is able to find the secret they didn't find, the map will also automatically show the secret code.
But since William proposed it, he should have some ideas.
George took out his wand and pointed at the parchment: "The map shows."
Soon, thin ink lines like spider webs began to appear from where the wand had just touched.
The lines meet and cross each other, extending to every corner of the parchment; then writing begins to appear on top of the parchment, in large curving green letters, and they are:
"Magic Prank System - Marauder's Map.
Proudly presented by the Reavers - Moonface, Wormtail, Bigfoot and Prong. "
Below is a line of small emerald green letters: "The prongs greet Mr. Weasley, please state the secret order."
"I'm going to do a prank." Fred said seriously, and then showed a flattering smile, "Mr. Prong, you've always been so handsome. At school, I think many girls liked you."
As if there was an invisible hand writing on the parchment, the map appeared in writing: "The big foot is slightly hard, expressing approval, and looking forward to something."
George smiled and said, "Of course, Mr. Bigfoot is also very handsome."
Another handwriting appeared on the parchment: "The secret order is wrong, but the prongs and big feet agree with Mr. Weasley's evaluation."
"So you will get a fifty-five-minute map usage qualification, please cherish the prank time."
The handwriting has completely faded, and the map has drawn all the details of Hogwarts Castle and the venues in detail.
William stared at the map.
Small dots of ink that move along the map, each with a name marked in tiny letters.
A small ink dot in the upper left corner shows Professor Dumbledore pacing the office.
Filch's cat, Mrs. Norris, was stopping in the corridor on the eighth floor and seemed to sniff the floor.
The prankster Peeves is jumping around in the prize room.
But on the whole map, the names of the four William were not displayed!
It's as if they were wiped off the map!
William smiled and said, "It's really as I thought."
Several people gathered around the map, and Cedric quickly noticed the anomaly. He was surprised, "Don't have our names?"
"This is the first time this has happened."
George was serious and serious, like Professor McGonagall.
He always thought that this map was omnipotent, and it might even be the treasure left by the Big Four thousands of years ago, just like the Sorting Hat.
Of course, if it is really the treasure left by the Big Four, it is undoubtedly Gryffindor who made this map.
But now it doesn't seem to be!
George was disappointed, and felt that his beliefs had collapsed. He had always regarded predators as life mentors.
Fred also sighed: "It seems that the prongs and forks didn't find the Room of Requirement."
Cedric stared at it for a long time, and said, "It's not necessarily that the Room of Requirement was not found. It's also possible that this room has been cast 'unmarkable'."
"Unmarkable" is a special kind of magic that can be used to hide an area of the world.
Any place that is "unmarkable" cannot be seen directly, or simply cannot be marked on the map.
Unmarkable locations are usually wizards' houses and schools of magic.
Sparton Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Durmstrang Academy and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are all unmarkable. They use powerful magic to protect their students and their secrets from Muggles and dark wizards.
Similarly, the famous Azkaban of UU reading is also located on an "unmarkable" island in the center of the North Sea, making it isolated from the rest of the world.
William shook his head: "This house may really be 'unmarkable', but I think it's a group of four predators, and I didn't find a house of responsiveness."
"How to say?"
William analyzed: "Look, maybe many years ago, there were also four students who, like us, were keen to discover the secrets of Hogwarts.
Then I ask you, George, if you thought you had mastered all the secrets of Hogwarts, what would you think when you walked around at night? "
"I will want to find a 'secret passage or room that I have never discovered'."
William smiled and said, "Yes, it only appears when you really need the Room of Requirement."
"You try to find a room that you haven't seen before, and if the Room of Requirement responds to your request and appears in front of you, at that moment, the room is no longer an undiscovered room.
This kind of logical paradox is an invalid order, so the House of Requirement is never shown in front of a few people. "
…

(The first update of ps1, ask for a recommendation ticket.)
(The above on ps2 is just my own analysis, no one knows everything about Hogwarts, and the four predators are no exception.
The most direct evidence, [Chapter 17 of the Order of the Phoenix] Harry sought a hidden place for DA to practice Defense Against the Dark Arts,
Sirius's first reaction was the scream shed, and then the secret passage on the fifth floor, all of which were rejected, and he didn't think of other better places.
If he knew about the Room of Requirement, his first reaction would definitely be the Room of Requirement, such as Dobby. )
