Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Harry felt himself falling and falling in the darkness...until he saw a golden thing flashing above his head.

It was a snitch! He wanted to catch it, but his arms were too heavy to lift.

He blinked and realized that it was not a snitch at all, but a pair of glasses.

He blinked hard again, and the smiling face of Albus Dumbledore gradually appeared in front of him.

"Good afternoon, Harry," said Dumbledore.

Harry stared at him blankly at first, and then suddenly remembered: "Sir! The Philosopher's Stone! It's Quirrell! And then Vol - oh no, it's the mysterious man, he -"

"Don't get excited, dear boy, what you said is a bit outdated," said Dumbledore: "Voldemort did not get the Sorcerer's Stone - I also suggest that you call him that, and always use the correct name for things.

The fear of a name will intensify the fear of the thing itself."

"Okay...Okay, sir."

Harry swallowed and looked around. He realized that he was in a hospital. He was lying on a hospital bed covered with white linen sheets. The table next to him was piled like a hill, as if half a candy store was occupied.

Moved here.

He remembered more things - there seemed to be an explosion before he fell into coma, Hermione, Mr. Al were all very close to the center of the explosion, and Professor Heimer...

"Are Hermione and Mr. Al okay?" Harry asked, "Are they injured too?"

"Al is fine, and Miss Granger has recovered after staying in the hospital for one night." Dumbledore said: "Only you, Harry, you were unconscious for three days, Mr. Ron Weasley and

Miss Granger will be relieved to know that you are awake. They have been extremely worried."

"So... what about the magic stone? And the magic ball?"

"It seems that there is no way to distract you. Well, let's talk about the Sorcerer's Stone and the Magic Ball. They are still safe and have not been obtained by Voldemort. The only difference is that the Sorcerer's Stone has been destroyed."

"Destroyed?" Harry asked puzzledly, "But your friend - Nico Flamel -"

"Oh, you actually know about Nico?" Dumbledore asked, sounding very happy, "You have made this matter very clear, haven't you? That's right, Nico and I talked about it, and we agreed that

This is the best way - even though Toby complained about this, it's normal for him not to understand. He can't find where Nick lives, and he can't get any more clues from me -

Just like Voldemort said, my existence is a bondage for Toby, and he must be obedient."

Dumbledore said these words easily, but Harry felt panicked. He never asked about Professor Highmore's condition from the beginning, and he also deliberately avoided this question, but Dumbledore seemed to

He directly saw through his mind and took the lead in leading Professor Haimer out.

This time, the person who couldn't be avoided was Harry.

"Professor Highmore..." Harry hesitated, "Is he still at Hogwarts?"

"Why do you think so?" Dumbledore asked: "Did Voldemort's words have an impact on you, making you think that Toby is an inherently evil person?"

"That's not all..."

Harry whispered.

Quirrell once told him that the death of his parents might be related to Professor Highmore, and that he was a person who ignored life. In addition, the conversation between Voldemort and Professor Highmore seemed to obscure the story.

All the disguises on him were taken off at once.

"Professor Heimer knows my parents..." Harry asked in confusion: "Are they friends? They -"

Harry hesitated to ask, and Dumbledore looked at him with twinkling eyes.

"About this matter... the situation is a bit complicated." Dumbledore was finally willing to speak: "Let me think about how to explain to you more appropriately, well... he is indeed your mother.

friend, but the relationship with your father was not that good. Then, by chance, Toby rescued Severus, but he insisted that James had originally planned to do the same. This made

Severus finds it difficult to accept that he and your father are enemies, I believe you have already felt this."

"Of course." Harry thought of Snape's bad attitude towards him: "Of course I understand, sir. But can you go into more detail? Professor Hemmer is really my mother's friend, but why did he treat me so badly?"

But my father—does he like my mother?"

At the end of the sentence, Harry almost screamed.

But Dumbledore smiled happily.

"Many people thought so at first, but the reality is not what they thought - this story started with a kind-hearted girl helping a boy who was discriminated against everywhere. They came from different colleges, but they

Both are interested in ancient magic and help each other. As for the relationship between the two, I believe that even Toby himself has thought about this issue, but gratitude cannot replace the role of love."

"They are just very good friends. Although this caused many misunderstandings from other people, it did not change anything - because Toby knew his own heart very well, and he also valued his black walnut wand. This

The biggest requirement of wands for their owners is not to deceive themselves and others. Toby did this when he was in school, so he insisted that your father also wanted to save Severus, and always because Severus didn't

Willing to admit this and look down on him."

"To a certain extent, Toby is an extremely arrogant person, but at the same time he is extremely real. So you don't have to worry about whether he is really evil, he is just himself."

Harry felt dizzy when he heard it. He couldn't imagine the stories of the previous generation when they were students. He still couldn't fully understand it now.

"But what about the death of my parents?" Harry asked, "Did Professor Highmore have anything to do with their death?"

To Harry's surprise, Dumbledore fell into rare silence.

It was only when Harry thought that Dumbledore would avoid talking about it that he slowly said in a sad tone: "Lily's interest in ancient magic started because of Toby, but the two people had different personalities because of each other.

They are going in different directions because of their differences. Toby has always been pursuing greater strength, but as for your mother, Lily, she has been studying love."

"like?"

"Yes, Harry. That is also the magic she protects on you, just like Frank Longbottom's wand defeated the shapeless Voldemort, all because of love."

Dumbledore sighed.

"Lily did not run away in front of Voldemort, nor did she give up on saving your life. She protected you with her love so that Voldemort could not touch you again - this is the relationship between Toby and the cause of your mother's death."

Harry felt his chest suddenly become congested. He turned his head, and Dumbledore continued to speak: "Let's stop talking today, I have to go -"

Harry immediately turned his head around again, his eyes were red: "But, sir, I still have many things to ask you -"

"Let's wait until next time."

Dumbledore turned to look at the door of the school hospital ward. Harry also turned to look and found that Professor Highmore had appeared there at some point.

"It's time for me to answer another student's question."
