Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 122 Hardcore Education

Although according to Professor Hemmer, Harry no longer had to worry about being abused by the Dursleys, he still couldn't help but doubt the reliability of this promise - not only because he was worried about whether the Dursleys

He will be obedient, and it is because he is worried that Professor Heimo will be arrested and brought to justice - doesn't this violate the confidentiality law? Is Professor Heimo really not afraid of the Ministry of Magic?

Unfortunately, Harry had no chance to talk to Professor Heimer - Fred and George were excitedly showing him the results of their vacation - a new recipe of multi-flavored juice!

Toby felt very pleased after seeing the two students delving into the magic circle.

"Tell me about it." He asked with interest: "How do you verify the results?"

"Of course it's our dear brother."

Fred put his arm around Ron's shoulders, patted him on the back and said, "When we negotiate the first business deal, we will pay him a proportional commission and we will not treat him badly."

Harry heard something was wrong: "So Ron is going to be your guinea pig without getting any reward?"

George waved his hand and said, "Don't say it so harshly, Harry. Fred and I are also subjects of experiments, but we don't get paid either."

"There won't be any serious consequences, right?" Harry asked worriedly.

"How is that possible?" Fred said with his fingers: "Feathers suddenly sprouted, fire came out of his mouth, and his hair changed color. These were even relatively light, and there was no explosion or anything like that.

.”

George answered: "It should be said that it has become less and less recently. Before that, we almost blew up the bedroom. Fortunately, Fred swallowed all the juice in the end, so his mother didn't notice."

Fred said with lingering fear: "Later, I hiccupped for several days, and it was at that opportunity that Ron actually joined us."

Harry looked at Ron in shock, but Ron just shrugged indifferently: "I have to do this, man. You have seen the changes that have happened to Neville with your own eyes. I have to hurry up and collect enough money to buy one."

A wand of my own, I can’t wait.”

Toby, who was driving the car across the clouds, praised without looking back: "Well done, boys. The process of studying ancient magic has never been smooth sailing. Even if you want to die of old age normally, it is difficult to do it. You might end up halfway."

Death, I take good care of you."

The twins became extremely happy because of this joke, and Ron was still looking forward to the scene when he got a new wand.

Only Harry.

He suddenly felt that he was the only normal person in this car.

Harry felt that he had to lead the topic in a less strange direction. He didn't want to lose Ron as a good friend inexplicably.

"Uh, professor."

Harry asked hesitantly: "Do you know Dobby?"

If there was one thing Harry had really learned during the last term, it was that he should never be so self-righteous anymore.

Well, at least when it came to Dobby, Harry couldn't figure out the house elf's motives, so he had to turn to the person he thought was the most reliable in the car - Professor Highmore.

Even if there was nothing about the Dursleys, Professor Highmore had helped them defeat Voldemort last semester, so he should be worthy of Harry's trust.

Harry told all the inexplicable warnings Dobby had given him. Professor Hemmer did not rush to ask questions, but the other three people murmured quietly.

"Honestly, Harry, I feel like he's lying to you," George said.

"You lied to me, how could you?" Harry asked in surprise.

"Because he has been preventing you from returning to Hogwarts." Fred on the side responded matter-of-factly: "And house elves generally cannot use magic against their master's wishes. He may have obtained the master's permission."

Permission—do you have any enemies at school?”

"Yes." Harry and Ron said at once.

"Draco Malfoy," Harry explained, "he hates me."

At this time, Professor Heimer, who was sitting in the front row, finally spoke: "Listen to me, kid, I don't think the Malfoy family would dare to cause trouble at this time, unless they don't even dare to take their own lives - but

, what did you just say? [Not the person who cannot even be mentioned by name?]"

"I remember it correctly, Professor." Harry said quickly: "That's what Dobby told me. He said that if someone wanted to kill me, it would be in danger if I returned to school. I asked him if he was with Vol--Yes.

It’s not about the mysterious person, his answer is [not the person who must not even be named].”

"Is that really what he said?" Toby frowned and confirmed again.

Harry nodded quickly and looked at Professor Heimer's back expectantly.

"That should be correct." Toby suddenly said with certainty: "This matter is related to the mysterious man - I have personally experienced that dark period. At the beginning, there were still people who thought -

Calling him by the code name you know, it wasn’t until later that everyone became so insecure that they didn’t even dare to pronounce his name.”

"Dobby is reminding you that this is related to the mysterious man."

The shocking guess made the car suddenly become silent. The car's wipers swept back and forth. Toby took out his wand and waved it, making the car quiet again.

"It seems that the modification of this car is not complete enough and needs more work - Ron Weasley, what's wrong with you?"

"No, Professor." Ron thought that he shouldn't lie in front of Professor Heimer, so he changed his words in time: "I just don't believe it, and even you don't dare to say his name."

"Because I am not Dumbledore." Toby said calmly: "And if you are deliberately targeted by a mysterious person during the war, you will truly know what fear feels like."

After a pause, he added: "That feeling is not pleasant. It is always right to be careful, and shrewdness is always Slytherin's most precious quality. And, as far as I know, I am also the only one who is targeted by him.

, who was still alive and well later. Apart from that, there was only the great Dumbledore."

When he said this, Toby observed Harry's reaction through the rearview mirror. He saw that Harry was trying to hide the loneliness in his heart, but he couldn't help but become depressed.

Harry obviously thought of his parents.

Toby felt that he should encourage Harry at this time.

So, he continued: "Mr. Potter, if I were you, do you know what I would do?"

Harry was stunned: "What? You... I can't guess, sir."

"It's very simple."

Toby said eloquently: "First, I will deceive Dobby and pretend to promise that he will not go to Hogwarts, and then I will find a way to deceive the intercepted letters from him. This is extremely important to understand the outside world."

a step.”

"Then, I will try to get more useful information out of Dobby. House elves also make mistakes. They are not perfect, and they are not that wise, especially when he takes the initiative to approach you.

, this is simply a perfect channel to find out information. The most interesting part is that once he accidentally reveals the truth, instead of blaming you, Dobby will take the lead in punishing himself. This is the unchanging characteristic of house elves.

— Easily manipulated."

"So, have you learned it?"

Harry's eyes became more and more panicked.

"ah?!"
