What if Dark Knight Send a noteboard - 02/08/2010 11:50:28 PM
How did the twins find out how to work the map? Clearly it is resistant to the type of "finding-out"-spells that Snape tries on it, but they must have found the magic words (hehe) somehow. Perhaps the map sensed kindred spirits?


The words didn't matter but rather the intention?
