Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 115 Dumbledore and Toby

Principal Dumbledore walked out of the ward, closed the door gently, and then left the school hospital. Toby followed him silently, and the two of them walked down the quiet corridor one after another.

The two of them were silent to each other along the way. It was not until they sat down in the office that Toby whispered to himself:

"No wonder Severus hates me so much. I didn't expect Lily to succeed. It seems that he blamed me for Lily's death. If it weren't for love, Lily might still have a chance to survive? No, that's not right.

, Lily would not do this, she is not this kind of person."

Dumbledore asked Al what he wanted to drink with his eyes, and then he conjured a glass of lemonade and milk respectively and placed them in front of them.

Al chewed on the straw, but Toby didn't look at the lemonade.

He looked directly at Dumbledore and asked: "Principal, did you already know that the mysterious man would take action at Hogwarts, so you sent me back to school to give me a chance to face the fears I once had? And Harry...

Potter, this is what you planned? His fate was determined from the beginning, so you gave him a chance to face Voldemort? Do you believe the Boy Who Lived's rhetoric?"

"Did you plan all this in advance?"

Toby's tone sounded very rude, as if he was questioning Dumbledore - but now, Toby couldn't help but think about the doubts in the whole process, especially in the final encounter with Voldemort.

, and the centaur prophet in the Forbidden Forest also said that he told Dumbledore the fact that Voldemort briefly stayed there.

The principal seemed to know everything, but refused to say anything.

The previous principals in the portrait murmured scoldings. They were all very dissatisfied with Toby's attitude. Phineas wanted to say something louder, but stopped after seeing Al's inadvertent glance.

Come down, he can only be hung on the wall now, unable to get along with a weird-looking Sniff.

Dumbledore leisurely conjured a glass of water for himself. He drank all the water in the glass little by little, and then said calmly: "You know, Toby, this is what I learned from Anibani."

The first drink of water that Ya rushed back to”

He raised his head, and his tired eyes behind the lenses met Toby's eyes hidden behind his hair.

"Just like many people will forget that you are a student who graduated from Slytherin House. There are also many people who will always think that I am omnipotent, and they also ask for this from me."

"But only I know that now I can't even fulfill my wish. It will only exist in the illusory image of the Mirror of Erised, and it will never change from false to true."

Dumbledore conjured up another glass of water, and continued: "As for Voldemort, yes, I know that he stayed in Hogwarts for a period of time. But what I don't know is where he hid, and I don't understand him.

How did he survive, let alone whether his plan will change. As for the reason why I didn't tell you all this - think about it, Toby, if I stopped you from researching when you were in school

Ancient magic, what will you become now?"

Toby calmed down little by little, and he silently thought about what changes would happen to him.

"Black magic." He said frankly: "If you try your best to prevent me from studying ancient magic from the beginning, then it seems that the only option I have is black magic."

This is an obvious answer. When Toby was a student, he was surrounded by many classmates who studied dark arts, not to mention that he and Snape were close friends at the time.

As for Lily, Lily alone cannot stop them.

Even now, many years after Lily's death, Snape has never given up his pursuit of dark magic.

Some things are difficult to change, or even impossible to change, and even time can't do anything about it.

And Toby is born like this, just like what the Sorting Hat said to him when he was sorting the houses -

"Well, other houses can't accommodate you. How about Slytherin? You will definitely achieve something there."

Dumbledore finally became more comfortable after drinking the second glass of water. He nodded and said: "That's right. I know very well that the direction of the world will not change because of personal wishes, especially when you are a principal.

When I was in the position, I couldn’t tell the students what I wanted them to be like, so they would just do it. Instead, I had to make them change through guidance.”

"I don't understand." Toby frowned and asked: "What does this have to do with the concealment you made from me? You can obviously reveal some clues to me in advance, and in the final analysis, it still seems like you have planned it in advance.

Everything, even suspected of taking advantage of me and Harry Potter."

"So this is how you view me."

Unexpectedly, Dumbledore was smiling.

"I'm very happy to see that you haven't changed much because you left England, so I allowed you to stay at Hogwarts. But what I didn't expect was that you really saw me as the White Devil - this is also you

The reason why we chose to leave in the first place? Maybe we should have openly announced it earlier."

"Isn't it?" Toby didn't understand why Dumbledore said that.

He did think so, and felt that Dumbledore would never allow another student who might become a new threat at any time to stay when Voldemort was a threat.

Dumbledore shook his head.

"I'm just prepared."

He murmured in a low voice: "On many things, I will prepare in advance. Some people only see part of the content, so they will misunderstand me. But I must see further than anyone else, and I need to be right."

We know many situations well, otherwise innocent people are likely to die."

"The reason why you think this is just because I am not perfect, which is understandable, because I have defeated Grindelwald. After that, people will ask for more from me, even if I have tried my best, they will still

Someone is dissatisfied with me."

"But they have all forgotten that I am not omnipotent."

omnipotent.

Dumbledore mentioned this word again.

Al, who was biting his straw, raised his head: "Yeah."

Then it picked up the cup and moved closer to Toby.

"ah."

"What is it talking about?" Dumbledore asked with interest.

Toby replied expressionlessly: "It started by saying it would be nice if there were more Dumbledores in the world."

"As for the last sentence, he is worried that if this really happens, there will probably be the same number of white devils in the world."
