Archaeologists at Hogwarts

"Huh...huh..."

A series of hurried footsteps sounded in the dark corridor. Under the illumination of the dim torches on both sides of the corridor, a face covered with dust and sweat flashed quickly. The long and messy hair was flying back and forth, and it was all tangled in dirt.

And behind him, there are countless bandaged faces - they are all mummies, they have come to life again!

"Hurry up! Al! Haven't you found the exit yet?!"

The man shouted anxiously.

Suddenly a dark shadow passed in front of him, it was a Sniff. The Sniff sniffed the ground quickly, and then immediately pointed out a direction in front of the fork in the road.

"Well done!"

The man asked Al to jump onto his shoulders. He changed direction and ran desperately, finally seeing the light at the exit from a distance.

With a sudden jump, the man reappeared under the blazing sunshine.

But this is not over yet, the ferocious mummy is still chasing him closely, and will soon run out of the tall pyramid as well.

The man calmly took out his wand and waved it over the exit, causing the built-in stone door to fall down again.

The stone door fell with a loud bang, blocking all the roars inside the pyramid.

A mummy's head was smashed and separated, and its head fell from the sky and fell in front of the man.

"Bye now."

The man laughed and kicked the withered head, causing it to hit the stone door and immediately shatter into pieces.

Then he grabbed the struggling Sniff, dug into its belly pocket, and took out a pure gold mask.

This mask is very similar to the pharaoh mask of ancient Egypt. The facial features are carved on it, but there are no more complicated decorations around it, and it is only the size of an ordinary mask.

"Finally found!"

The man picked up the mask and kissed it hard, then threw it back in front of Xiu Xiu. Xiu Xiu quickly stuffed the mask into his pocket, for fear of being taken away by the man again.

The man glanced at it with disdain, but Xiu Xiu jumped back onto his shoulder without caring, pretending that nothing happened.

"gone."

The man patted Xiu Xiu's head and said, gradually walking towards the outside of the pyramid.

Gringotts Egypt Branch.

Ever since the dusty man walked into the bank, he had attracted almost everyone's attention - most of them were fairies, and there was envy, jealousy, and disbelief in their eyes.

"You're actually still alive?!"

The goblin behind the counter said in surprise. He clutched the gem in his hand tightly. The customer on the side looked distressed and hesitated whether to stop it.

"I let you down."

The man shook his hair and said, using his palm to push his long hair back to the back of his head.

"I'm here to see Larry."

After a pause, the man added in a more serious tone: "Now."

It didn't take long for the man to be welcomed into a gorgeously decorated living room. There was already a goblin sitting on the sofa. His fingers were covered with gemstone rings and there was a cigar in his mouth.

He is the goblin director of Gringotts—Larry.

"Toby Highmore."

The goblin stood up with a smile. He seemed to want to give the other person a hug. Even though the other person looked dirty and smelled of sweat, Larry didn't show a trace of boredom.

"My best curse-breaker, you have been missing for a whole month. Let me see what surprise you have brought me this time."

Toby did not let the other party hug him, nor did he hand over the golden mask, but took out a crumpled letter from his pocket.

"What is this?" Larry was stunned.

Toby grinned, revealing his white teeth.

"My resignation letter."

He threw the letter forward, and before Larry could reach out his hands, it fell at his feet.

"I quit, Larry."

As Toby was about to walk out, Larry quickly stopped him: "Hey! Toby! This joke is not funny at all! Maybe we can talk about your salary again! Double it! How about twice it?

?!Three times?! Hey! Hey - at least tell me why you want to resign?!"

"Because I found a new job."

Toby said without looking back, while Al made a face at Larry over his shoulder and stuck out his tongue.

"New job?" Larry asked stammering: "Did...the headquarters poached you?! Those damn misers, how many benefits did they promise you?!"

"Not much."

Toby finally stopped. He turned around and said in a contemptuous tone: "The goblin director at the headquarters does want me and may have promised a higher salary, but Gringotts is no longer enough to attract me."

"The place I'm about to go to is the greatest magic school in the world——"

"Hogwarts!"

Veil Bar.

This is the only wizarding bar in Egypt. It only entertains guests from the wizarding world. The bar has been cast with a Muggle expulsion spell, so Muggles cannot see the building.

The owner of the bar is named Weech. Like Larry, he is also a goblin, and he is also a goblin who is not easy to mess with.

Just look at the patrons of the bar and you will know that vampires, werewolves, dominatrixes, and even giants are all guys who are not easy to mess with, but even so, they do not dare to cause trouble in the bar.

Because Weiqi is not only in the bar business, but also related to the black market, specializing in the sale of stolen goods and the sale of prohibited items.

He has a group of powerful subordinates who are in charge of the rules in the black market.

Toby, who had not yet washed up, walked into the bar. The stench on his body aroused the disgust of a lot of guests, but they seemed to have been used to this for a long time. No one said anything to drive Toby away. They only dared to think in their hearts.

Cursing under his breath: "Damn Toby! He must be rich again!"

As a regular customer, Toby naturally sat at an empty table. He shouted to the Veela waitress: "A large pineapple pizza, a large glass of lemonade, and a large steak, seven cents."

Cooked."

He smacked his mouth.

Al followed suit and stretched out a hand, mumbling a series of words that no one could understand.

Toby smiled and added: "Give El a big portion of multi-flavor beans, he loves this the most."

The Veela blew Toby a kiss, and Al was not spared either.

At this time, a goblin wearing a suit and vest sat opposite Al. He was the owner of the Veil Bar, Weiqi.

"I thought you were dead and you've been missing for a whole month."

He said as soon as he came up and pushed a piece of paper in front of Toby.

"I won't die even if you die."

Toby picked up the piece of paper and there was a name written on it - Mundungus Fletcher.

Weiqi explained calmly: "When you arrive in the UK, look for him. This person will help you sell the stolen goods and make it easier for you to buy some prohibited items on the black market."

"Is this person reliable?"

"This joke is not funny at all."

There is no way to say that the black market is reliable. It is filled with people living in darkness.

"I have an additional message for you."

Wych continued: "The Pig's Head Bar is in Hogsmeade. It's not exactly a black market, but occasionally there are some interesting customers."

Toby nodded, and he suddenly smiled and said: "Pig's Head Bar... If I had enough pocket money when I was in school, I would have known the news earlier."

Wyche reached out to the bartender, ordered two glasses of malt whiskey, and pushed one of them in front of Toby.

"Have you really decided to leave?" He asked: "It's hard to find a reliable partner like you."

Toby did not answer the question, but said: "Don't take up your seat. I have a guest coming over later. He is an old classmate of mine. I am still waiting to catch up with him."

The two people stared at each other in silence for a while, then drank the wine in their glasses, and then Weach shook his head and walked away.

Al curiously smelled the taste at the mouth of the cup. He tentatively stuck out his tongue and licked it. Suddenly it became wobbly and could not even walk steadily.

Toby stretched his arms back and forth to prevent Al from accidentally falling to the ground. The game didn't last long before the Veela waitress came over with a dinner plate.

"Wake up, it's time to pay the bill."

Toby said, knocking Al on the head. It seemed that because he sensed the atmosphere of imminent departure, the drunken Al was extra generous this time.

"That's all my money!"

Toby said angrily, and Veela kissed Al's head gently for the last time, and then he became calm again and stood there blankly for a while.

Just as Toby was devouring his food, a strange customer suddenly walked into the bar. The regular customers looked at him with unkind eyes, only to receive even colder looks in return.

The strange guest found Toby. He sat opposite Toby and stared at him silently.

Only then did Toby raise his head. He stared at the other person's hairstyle, which had not changed for many years. It was always hanging down on the side of his face, looking like he had not washed his hair.

He took a sip of lemonade, swallowed the food in his mouth, and gave the other party a frivolous smile.

"Long time no see, Severus."
