To be able to create the Marauder's Map, Sirius Black's magical attainments are actually very high. Locke can currently see that this map uses a very high-end tracking spell, as well as a manifestation spell and an illusion spell.

But Locke had no clue about the spell that made up the whole frame, so he asked like Sirius.

"I used a contract spell on it, which is unique to our family. In addition, we also used many special spells to make it."

Locke nodded, took the Marauder's Map and observed it carefully for a moment, and said: "There should be a constant restoration spell enchantment on it."

"That's right, I didn't expect you to be able to see so many things." Sirius looked surprised. He really didn't expect Locke to look so young but unexpectedly knowledgeable:

"There are other spells, most of which are related to the spells needed to make maps in the wizarding world. These spells are all in sets. In addition, there is a special targeted spell. If you are interested, I can tell you about it.”

"That's great, I was just about to ask for advice." Locke said with a smile. In the wizarding world, it is very common to hide some family spells or some special spells that are only taught by close people.

Although Locke collected all kinds of magic knowledge as much as possible. The Hogwarts library has a complete and rich variety of magic spells. As long as there are circulating magic spells, he has collected them. However, there are still many magic spells and magical knowledge that are secret. .

Locke's proposal to follow the original plot was of great benefit to Sirius. After suffering for so many years, Sirius saw that he could redeem himself again because of Locke's proposed plan, and his gratitude to Locke could be said to come from the bottom of his heart.

With such a beginning, it became possible for Locke to ask Sirius for some magic spells. Locke really didn't know much about the secret contract spells in Sirius's family and the matching spells for making maps.

Sirius himself was not a stingy person, and with Locke's manipulation, he became his benefactor, so he said that when the matter was over, he would go home and lend Locke the relevant books.

After discussing this matter, Locke became a little more concerned about the next plan to deal with Peter Pettigrew. At the same time, he also reminded to prevent some possible accidents.

For example, at the end, you have to avoid days with a full moon, lest Professor Lupine accidentally turn into a werewolf.

Professor Lupine was a werewolf. Dumbledore had already mentioned this when he recommended him to work in Locke's shop. After hearing this reminder, he and Sirius also took it to heart.

Speaking of which, Locke also found it quite interesting. Professor Lupine became the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and the first thing he taught students was how to deal with werewolf attacks.

Locke doesn't know what Professor Lupine's mentality is, but it may be that he specializes in the art.

The three of them refined the details of the plan in the principal's office, and finally Dumbledore asked Locke to help settle Sirius.

Locke agreed immediately and left the office with Sirius. At the same time, he cast a disembodiment spell on him, and then couldn't help but ask: "How did you get in and out of the academy before, and where did you live before?"

"The Whomping Willow." Sirius did not hide anything: "There is a tree hole under the Whomping Willow, and there is a hidden secret passage inside, which can lead directly to Hogsmeade Village."

"I see." Locke nodded. There were all kinds of magic spells surrounding Hogwarts. It was not that easy to sneak in quietly. This secret passage had been a secret for many years.

Locke already knew this through the plot, but he had to ask about it.

"Then where did you live before?"

"Inside the haunted house in Hogsmeade." Sirius sighed a little: "Although it is very old, it is still more restrictive than Akazban. Before getting rid of Peter Pettigrew, these things were very difficult for me. It doesn’t matter.”

Nodding, Locke said smoothly: "Then let me make arrangements for you."

"No problem." After a brief interaction, Sirius already trusted Locke, or he completely trusted Dumbledore. Since Dumbledore asked Locke to arrange him, he naturally had nothing to say.

As the director of the school, Locke just talked to the janitor Filch and left the academy with the invisible Sirius to a house he bought near the school.

This is just a place to rest occasionally. Apart from him and Hermione, only two elves usually come here to clean it regularly. Locke simply set up a warning and protective spell here.

Locke first chose a guest room for Sirius, then found a complete set of bedding, and finally used magic to send a message and arranged for someone to prepare some suitable outfits for Sirius.

And the most important thing was to find him a wand and get some polyjuice potion from the potion shop. After all, Sirius was now operating outside and needed to hide his identity.

Finally, Locke took two hundred gold galleons and gave them to Sirius so that he could buy some needed things.

Locke's arrangements were very appropriate, which made Sirius very grateful. After all, he had been in prison for twelve years, and it was rare for him to feel that someone cared about him.

This made Sirius very excited and said a lot of thanks, and it took Locke some effort to calm him down and restore his calmness.

Locke was also taking advantage of the opponent's downfall to help him. In his opinion, the value of these things was not as good as the magic spells passed down from the opponent's family. As long as he could achieve his goal, Locke didn't mind being more friendly.

Sirius cleaned up, drank the polyjuice potion again, and went to the Shrieking Shack in Hogsmeade with Locke to get some items that Sirius had placed here.

Speaking of which, the nickname originated from Professor Lupine. When Lupine was in school, in order to control himself from turning into a werewolf on a full moon night, he would come here through the secret passage under the Whomping Willow.

Hiding here, biting his own arm, suppressing his animal nature with pain, and at the same time, because of the screams, it became a screaming house in the mouths of people here, and it is also a well-known haunted house.

After everything was sorted out, Locke did not continue to interfere in the plot. He just paid attention secretly and focused more on studying and arranging affairs as usual.

In addition to absorbing spiritual thoughts, there is also the transformation spell. These two are the focus of Locke's recent practice. These two magic spells are very difficult to master, and it is even more risky to cast them at the same time.

If you are not careful when absorbing spiritual thoughts, you may go crazy due to receiving too many inner voices. A slight mistake in the transformation technique will cause irreversible mutations, and you may not even be able to change back in your lifetime.

So even Locke needs to be looked after by the elves around him when practicing. If he encounters any unexpected situation, he can find a way to deal with it immediately, and even ask Dumbledore for help.
