With a strong sense of novelty, Qiu and Hermione walked up and down the stairs, even attracting the attention of Filch.
However, seeing the three of them just taking a normal walk and not violating any school rules, he could only follow them suspiciously for a while before leaving unwillingly.
What surprised Qiu and Hermione even more was.
When Filch appeared in the corridor, a marker would also appear on the map.
“How did you do that?” Qiu asked in surprise.
“Marker magic and tracking, dynamic projection, and some potion knowledge.”
“You actually put a curse on Filch?” Hermione frowned subconsciously.
“Don't say it so harshly.” Wayne shrugged: “I haven't violated his privacy, didn't you see that his name wouldn't appear except when he is in the corridor or the hall?”
Actually, he himself was not skilled enough, and he could only cover too few areas.
Wayne had also learned from the Marauder's Map for this whole map, but his production method was slightly different.
Although he didn't know the exact principle of the Marauder's Map, Wayne could roughly see it after studying it for so long.
He also admired Harry's father and Sirius Black from the bottom of his heart.
Although they were not good students, they were indeed talented.
The essence of the Marauder's Map is a contract.
These guys must have found the core of Hogwarts' magic, or the Book of Acceptance.
All the students who graduate from here will leave their traces behind, which will be displayed on the map.
Wayne is just a newbie who has just entered the magical world and cannot do this.
His bankrupt version of the Marauder's Map uses a combination of tracking spells and marker magic, which are displayed on the map in time.
Although Qiu is from Ravenclaw, she is not interested in these things. Hermione, on the other hand, asked Wayne for a long time.
In the end, she realized that she couldn't understand it anymore and gave up.
“So, you want to sell this map?” The little witch played with the map, a little bit reluctant to let go.
“Yes, and there are more than one kind of map, there are three in total.”
“This is the promax version.”
Wayne said, taking out a few more maps from his pocket. Hermione and Qiu were both staring at Wayne's pocket.
From the snacks at the beginning to the maps later, how many things were in this small place.
It must be the Undetectable Extension Charm.
Both little witches had their guesses, but neither of them said anything and continued to listen to Wayne's introduction.
“The ordinary version only has the map function and the movement rules of the stairs.”
“The pro version has positioning function and route planning, you can set a route to reach the destination in the most time-saving and efficient way.”
“As for the version in your hands, it's the promax version. It has all the above functions, most importantly, it also has the location of Filch and Madam Pince.”
Hermione opened her small mouth.
Even a map can have so many tricks.
How does Wayne's brain grow.
The two of them tried the other two versions respectively. As Wayne said, the pro version only needs to point the wand at the destination, and then it can plan the route, which is very convenient.
In addition to the functions, the three maps look different in grade.
The ordinary version is just a simple piece of parchment, only a little thicker.
The pro version has the logo of each house and beautiful patterns.
As for the promax, it was carefully made by Wayne, using the painting mastery he once obtained. It looked high-end, atmospheric, and upscale.
“Is there a higher level version?”
“Of course.” Wayne rubbed his hands together, smiling very happily, “Above that, it’s the VIP customer's custom version. How about it, Miss Granger, are you interested?”
“Um.” Hermione paused, seeing Wayne's reaction, she asked tentatively:
“What is the price of these maps?”
“The ordinary version is five Sickles, the pro version is one Galleon, the promax...ten Galleons.”
“So expensive?” Hermione exclaimed, then she felt a little abrupt and quickly added.
“The ordinary version is not expensive, but the other two...”
“I think it's okay.” Qiu suddenly said: “If I could exchange one Galleon for such a map, I would hesitate, but I would still buy it.”
“Why?” Hermione was a little puzzled: “You are already in the second year, shouldn’t you have memorized all the roads?”
“It's not that simple.” Qiu smiled wryly: “In fact, I was late twice last week. The rules of the stairs in the school are really hard to remember. If you are not careful, you will go wrong. It really takes a lot of effort.”
“Is it really that difficult?” Miss Granger was still a little doubtful.
Wayne looked at her speechlessly.
Do you think everyone has the same strong memory as her?
Forget about Qiu, even those senior students will often go the wrong way, even after graduation, they can't recognize all the places.
“Okay. Since you all think so...” Hermione could only agree with the two of them:
“What do we need to do to help you?”
It's very simple, Wayne smiled: “When you go to class tomorrow, go with your friends or roommates, use the map to navigate, and let them see the function clearly.”
“If they ask, you explain it.”
“For every map sold, I can give you three-tenths.”
“I don't want your money.” Qiu shook her head: “You just said you needed my help, if I took money, it would be an employment relationship.”
“It's just such a simple thing, leave it to me.”
Hermione also said earnestly: “Yes, it’s just a small matter.”
“I’ll return the map to you after the promotion.”
“Ten Galleons, I can't afford it.”
“Don't rush to refuse.” Wayne comforted the two: “This is originally a cooperation, and the share is also reasonable, Hermione, you should understand the principle of equal pay for equal work.”
“As for Qiu, you are the only Ravenclaw student I know. Without your help, I would have sold at least one-third less maps, so you can take this money with peace of mind.”
Qiu still wanted to refuse, but Wayne suddenly covered her mouth.
The boy smiled mischievously and whispered:
“Qiu, don’t you want your house to lose to Hufflepuff?”
“Just promise me, you can earn money to buy a Firebolt yourself~”
Looking at the boy's handsome face close at hand, without a single flaw, Qiu's heart couldn't help but beat faster, and blush flew onto her cheeks.
And beside her, Miss Know-It-All was about to explode.
“What are you doing?!”
