Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 128 Gringotts

When Harry turned his head, he saw that it was Professor Heimer who was putting the wine bottle into his mouth. He rolled it vigorously in his throat a few times. After a while, the exquisitely shaped wine bottle reached the bottom, and then he was drunk.

Professor Heimer threw it aside with all his strength, and hit it with a thud at the feet of two wizards who were whispering and staring at them. Both of them were in ragged clothes, and they looked like they were not normal wizards.

"Get away!"

Professor Heimer shouted at them, causing the two people to be so frightened that they ran away without looking back. Other people in the street also quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look at Professor Heimer.

This scene reminded Harry of the students in ancient magic classes, except that Professor Hemmer's methods against these people were obviously more violent and rude than when facing students.

Harry still maintained the posture of being lifted up and slid up, with his hands and feet off the ground, and was led by Professor Hemmer through the dark alleys.

"It seems that you have finally figured it out." Professor Hemmer's voice came from above Harry's head: "Have you finally realized that you have to use more extreme methods to deal with house elves? But I have to remind you that since Borgin

-It seems too early to get started with blogging, I still recommend you start with deception.”

The novel and dangerous door slowly opened in front of Harry again. He quickly came to his senses and closed the door again.

"No, Professor, this is all because I accidentally used the wrong floo powder, and the result was-"

Harry explained the whole thing and finally asked: "Have you been waiting for me in front of Borgin Burke? Did you notice me?"

"Yes, Mr. Potter, otherwise why do you think I would suddenly break in to cause trouble for Lucius - even though I did intend to do so."

Harry didn't know if Professor Heimer's drunken appearance was just an act, but he always felt something was wrong - he seemed to have unknowingly messed up Professor Heimer's plan.

Moreover, Harry boldly guessed that maybe Professor Highmore had been secretly following the Malfoys and his son, and was forced to show up because he saw him in Borgin Burke.

Harry was even more afraid to speak. The only thing he was glad about was that school hadn't started yet, so he didn't need to be deducted points. But on the other hand, judging from the harsh environment of Knockturn Alley, this didn't seem to be a good symbol.

, maybe Professor Heimer’s punishment methods here will be even more terrifying.

Just when Harry was panicking, he heard Professor Heimer continue to ask himself: "What did you overhear in Borgin-Bockley?"

Harry didn't hide anything, and fortunately it happened not long ago, so he could remember the content of the conversation between Lucius and Borgin.

"interesting."

He heard Professor Heimer murmur: "The Ministry of Magic is about to issue the Muggle Protection Act. It turns out that Lucius knew the news in advance. It seems that he still has many 'friends' in the Ministry."

"But this "Muggle Protection Act", could it be that Weasley just wrote it because of me? Is he trying to protect Muggles like the Dursleys, or is he trying to prevent people like me from being caught accidentally?

Jailed. What do you think, Mr. Potter?"

"Ah? I" Harry couldn't understand Professor Heimer's question, but fortunately Professor Heimer seemed to just ask casually. He then shouted loudly: "Hagrid, catch it!"

Harry flew up and was quickly caught by Hagrid, who was asking about the price in front of a shop, with both hands. Then they saw Professor Heimer turning around and leaving, still swaying and looking very drunk.

Hagrid came to Knockturn Alley to buy medicine to get rid of flesh-eating slugs. While he was listening to Harry telling the whole story, he dusted off the soot from his body with heavy hands, almost pushing him into a house.

In the fire dragon dung bucket outside the pharmacy.

"You shouldn't have come to Knockturn Alley." Hagrid said, "I'll take you out of here. By the way, why didn't you reply to me?"

Harry told him everything about Dobby and the Dursleys.

"Damn Muggles," Hagrid snarled, "if I knew-"

"Oh, there's one more thing." Harry immediately told the story of Professor Hemmer's lesson to the Dursleys, including the content of the subsequent letter to vacate his bedroom.

"I knew Toby was a reliable person." Hagrid finally smiled: "He was very good friends with Lily when they were in school, and he won't ignore you."

"Really?" Harry couldn't help but recall Professor Hemmer's various deeds, including his drunk appearance before, and couldn't help but put a question mark on the word "reliable".

Soon, Harry was taken out of Knockturn Alley by Hagrid and reappeared in Diagon Alley. He saw Hermione Granger running towards him, with fluffy brown hair flying behind her.

Hermione was shocked when she heard that Harry had walked into the wrong furnace door. Then, the Weasley family finally arrived. They were all worried about Harry. Mrs. Weasley hugged Harry hard in her arms.

Mr. Sly helped Harry repair his glasses. Ron looked at him enviously, and the twins exclaimed: "That's great!"

None of them have been to Knockturn Alley, and the adults never let them go.

"It's best not to go." Harry warned in a low voice: "Professor Hemmer was here just now. You don't want to meet him."

At this time, even the twins calmed down. The experience of tutoring at the Burrow was still unforgettable to them, and they couldn't completely forget it now.

A group of people came to Gringotts after saying goodbye to Hagrid. As they walked up the steps, Harry said to Ron and Hermione: "Guess who I saw in Borgin Burke's shop? Malfoy and his father

.”

"Did Lucius Malfoy buy anything?" Mr. Weasley asked warily from behind them.

"No, he went to sell something."

"He's scared," Mr. Weasley said seriously and with satisfaction. "Oh, I really want to catch evidence of Lucius Malfoy."

"Be careful, Arthur." Mrs. Weasley warned him: "That family is not easy to deal with. Don't bite the bones you can't chew."

"You think I can't beat Malfoy?" Mr. Weasley said angrily.

Harry suddenly felt that Mr. Weasley might be able to ask Professor Highmore for help. After all, Professor Highmore had obviously been able to defeat Malfoy and turned around and left as soon as he saw him.

But Harry never expected when his idea would become so effective. He heard Mr. Weasley say: "Children, look, that can't be Mr. Hemmer, can it?"

Originally, all the people sitting behind the counter at Gringotts were goblins, but today there was a different person behind the counter - it was Professor Hemmer. At some point, another bottle of strong liquor appeared in his hand, and his mood was waning.

sipping in small sips.

On this special counter, there are a lot of books stacked in a small mountain. Mr. Al is standing on the top of the pile, looking around expectantly.

Above its head is a banner that reads -
