Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 132 Black Notebook

Acquisition?

Xenophilius Lovegood thought he heard wrongly. He turned around and said as he walked: "So are you here to buy newspapers? It's not common for customers like you to come to your door in person - two

Nat, Chenghui.”

"Ah, it seems there is some misunderstanding between us." Toby did not move. He said to the confused Xenophilius: "I am not here to buy newspapers, but to buy newspapers. In order to avoid repeating it again

Once again—you could say, I’m here to buy all of The Quibbler.”

Xenophilius stood blankly, looking like a ball of marshmallows.

"All of them?" he asked. "You mean the ones upstairs?"

It seems that the newspaper printing press was placed on the second floor.

"I'm afraid that also includes all future "The Quibbler."" Toby said with a smile: "I want every one."

Before Xenophilius could recover, he suddenly lost the ability to blink and his eyes were staring straight.

Toby continued: "Speaking of which, this is all related to your daughter. She - huh? Where did she go?"

Luna is not in the house.

Toby turned his head and found that Luna had appeared outside the house at some point, standing in front of Thestral near the fence, slowly stretching out her slender palm, trying to touch Thestral's cheek.

"careful!"

This shocked Toby. Although Hagrid promised that the Thestrals in the school are well-tamed, they are 4X level magical animals. Not only do they look scary, they are also very aggressive, especially when dealing with strangers.

before.

He and Xenophilius rushed out of the house almost at the same time. Toby even had the magic ball ready, and there was a trace of distress in his heart about the return journey - he didn't want to bring an injured Thestral with him.

Return to Hogwarts.

However, surprisingly, Yeqi did not show any resistance to Luna's palm. It silently lowered its head that looked like a fire dragon and allowed Luna's little hand to slowly slide over the side of its face.

Toby stopped involuntarily, and Xenophilius also stopped.

"She doesn't look scared at all. Is there any magical animal in your house? It's huge and very dangerous."

Xenophilius shook his head in confusion.

“Do freshwater pom-pom fish in a creek count?”

Toby looked at Xenophilius with an "are you kidding me" expression.

He had no choice but to add: "What about the Bent-Horned Snork? Have you ever heard of the Bent-Horned Snork?"

Toby's expression became even weirder: "Never heard of it. Have you seen it?"

Xenophilius shook his head. His long white hair looked like dandelions, as if they would all float away with a gentle blow.

"Me neither." He said: "Luna and I are still looking, hoping to find it."

"Okay." Toby was a little embarrassed in a rare way. It was the first time that he was truly speechless.

Luna, who was gently touching Yeqi, ignored the exchange between the two. She stared directly into Yeqi's eyes, seeing her own reflection in them, and feeling an inexplicable familiarity in her heart.

"Mother."

She said quietly.

Ten minutes later, Xenophilius led Toby to the second floor of the house, which seemed to be both a living room and a studio. There were piles of books and papers in every place, and exquisite animal models hung from the ceiling. Ha.

Those whom Li didn't recognize were flapping their wings or moving their mouths.

Below is a wooden thing that is constantly making noises and has many gears that rotate by magic. It looks like a cross between a workbench and a bunch of old shelves, spitting out copies of the latest "Quiet".

Toby sat in a seat by the window, and Xenophilius sat opposite him. The two of them looked out the window for a while at Luna who was staying with Thestrals, and then Toby turned around and said: "Then let

Let's get on with it, Mr. Lovegood."

"Oh." Xenophilius came back to his senses: "I just never thought that Luna would like thestrals. Although I can't see them with my own eyes, they must not be as cute as the freshwater colorful ball fish."

"I agree with that," Toby said.

He then recounted the original story of the whole thing - Luna's letter asked whether ancient magic could bring people back to life, and at the same time Toby noticed the strange "Quiet" magazine, so he thought about it.

Come as a guest in person.

"Wait a minute." Xenophilius said, and he walked to the corner of the room, which was the only clean and tidy place. There was a pile of books he had just bought.

He picked up a copy of "Ancient Magic and Magic Circles" and walked back. While flipping through it, he said, "Is it because of this book? I heard that Hogwarts has opened a new course, and he is said to be in charge of this course.

The professor is very special. He made Hogwarts go crazy as soon as he took office——"

"Ahem!"

Before Xenophilius could say more bad words, Toby coughed hard twice.

"I think you are talking about me, Mr. Lovegood."

He stretched out his palm and wanted to introduce himself properly: "Toby Highmore, an archaeologist and the professor of ancient magic at Hogwarts."

Xenophilius did not dare to stretch out his hand again, he remembered how strong Toby was.

"Sorry." He said, but his tone could not suppress his excitement: "The magic about resurrection from the dead -"

"This does not exist." Toby simply denied: "I have been doing archaeology for so many years, but I have never seen magic that can truly bring people back to life. This is an insurmountable limit."

"Also, can you let me know who you want to resurrect? Miss Lovegood did not explain this in the letter."

Xenophilius suddenly became extremely depressed. He looked at Luna outside the window and said sadly: "Pandora was Luna's mother. She died during a spell experiment. Luna witnessed that scene with her own eyes. They were in the yard at that time.

Here, I was writing an article for the newspaper upstairs, but I didn’t find out about it right away, so it was too late. It was too late for everything.”

Toby took out a black notebook from his pocket and a quill, also all black.

"Pandora"

While writing in his notebook, he asked: "Can you tell me the specific date of her death? And the time of her birth, by the way."

Xenophilius kept these things in mind, and he watched Toby's continuous writing movements.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

Toby didn't answer directly.

"Not even close."

He murmured, looking back and forth on his notebook, as if he wanted to pick out some pattern from it.

"photo."

He suddenly looked up and said, "Do you have a picture of Pandora?"

Xenophilius felt something was wrong. He stood up with an uncertain expression and took Toby to a higher floor. Then he opened the door and walked into a clean bedroom and the printing press downstairs.

The room is completely different.

"This is my daughter's room."

Xenophilius stepped aside so that Toby could come in.

He pointed to a large photo next to the bed and said, "That's a photo of Pandora and Luna."

In the photo, a young Luna is hugging a woman who looks very similar to her. Luna in it is dressed very beautifully. It seems that the impact of Pandora's death is not only psychological, but also affects Xie Nuo.

Philius could not take care of his daughter as well as before.

"If you can sell "The Quibbler" to me, you can spend more time with your daughter."

Toby said as he walked forward and threw the black quill in his hand. The moment the quill came into contact with Pandora's portrait, both disappeared, turning into a burst of black with brilliant colors.

The clouds and mist got into the black notebook in Toby's hand.

"for you."

Toby said, putting the notebook into the hands of Xenophilius, who looked astonished.

Xenophilius opened the notebook little by little. The first page was blank, but a line of text soon appeared under his sight.

【Thank you. My dear, is that you?】
