Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 152 Planning and Recognition

Peace has returned to the Ancient Magic Office.

Toby's arms stopped shaking, and he slowly raised the Pharaoh mask. This startled Al, who quickly rushed over to stop him, fearing that Toby would put the mask on his face again.

"No, it's okay, Al."

Toby comforted him in a low voice, his eyes behind his hair were calm but also revealed a hint of fanaticism.

"This is a successful experiment. The role of the magic circle is more important than I imagined. It can really resist the control of the Pharaoh's mask. At least it doesn't make me lose my memory like Lockhart. Although it is still a little short of

,must be made by”

Toby paused for a moment, and then said slowly: "It's up to Lily's eyes to make up for it. Although this is different from my previous plan, the students alone can't revive me quickly, but the result is always good.

of."

This is a very risky plan, Toby is using the students through confinement to help him study the Pharaoh Mask thoroughly.

However, Toby did not really disregard the lives of the students. Al, who never appeared, was the biggest insurance. He would appear in time and save the students.

However, in this plan, the most risky person is still Toby. Once a mistake is made, his life will be directly damaged.

Just like when he was studying magic balls, and many ancient magics.

"There's still a little more to do."

Toby thought about Harry's eyes, which meant a defect in the magic circle and a defect in the damaged magic ball - damaged due to Voldemort's possession.

He slowly shifted his gaze to another collection in the office - a potted plant with a wizard plant that looked like howling in pain.

"Perhaps, there is no way to solve it."

After sending the mummified students to the school hospital, Harry and Hermione were driven away by Madam Pomfrey. They only suffered some superficial injuries and could not stay in the school hospital all night, let alone

Madam Pomfrey was extremely angry about this, and she began to seriously doubt the legitimacy of Professor Hemmer's courses - how could the Quidditch teams of two houses be sent to the hospital at once?

"Will Professor Hemmer be expelled?" On the way back, Harry said worriedly: "Ms. Pomfrey said she was going to complain to the Headmaster. Can the Headmaster tolerate him?"

Hermione didn't answer in a hurry. She was still thinking about the magic circle on Professor Heimer's body. It didn't seem like something a rational wizard would do, especially in last year's class, Professor Heimer made it clear

The students were warned not to conduct experiments on their own bodies, but now they

Hermione suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and she said to herself: "Is this what Professor Highmore meant when he said that he was controlled by ancient magic? He was referring to the magic circle and the reason why he would do such crazy things.

?”

Harry vaguely understood, and he asked doubtfully: "But do you think this is something Slytherin would do? Would they sacrifice themselves to study ancient magic?"

"It doesn't sound like it." The worried person turned into Hermione, and she said worriedly: "I only know that there are dark wizards who do similar things. But they are more likely to use other people's lives instead of their own.

unless"

"Unless what?" Harry asked quickly.

Hermione thought about it carefully before saying the guess that made her feel ridiculous: "Unless this is the most efficient way, it is easier than killing others. Or maybe it's because Professor Heimer is better than we thought.

He is much kinder, so he would not think of using other people for experiments."

But how is this possible?

Harry and Hermione had just witnessed the mummified students. Wasn't this considered "mutilation"?

But it wasn't until early the next morning that they truly saw how "kind" Professor Heimer really was.

In just one night, all the mummified students returned to normal, and they didn't even need to take any more medicine. It was easier than treating a cold.

Harry was shocked to see Ron return to the dormitory safe and sound, with a confused expression on his face.

"You said you don't remember anything?" Harry asked in surprise: "What do you mean? You have all turned into mummies."

"It means literally." Ron also said with some confusion: "I asked other people, and they also said that they didn't leave any memories during that period, as if they had a good sleep. When they woke up

It’ll be fine.”

After arriving in the common room, Hermione also asked her own question: "But how did Madam Pomfrey treat you?"

"That's even simpler." Ron also felt that the so-called treatment method was a bit ridiculous, and he said with confused eyes; "She tore off the cloth strips on our bodies, and then gave us potions to treat skin wounds.

It’s really strange. Many people have bruises and swollen faces. Do you know what’s going on?”

Harry and Hermione exchanged a look, and whispered what happened next. Ron was shocked when he heard about the magic circle on Professor Hemmer's body.

"Merlin," he said in disbelief, "no wonder Professor Highmore's temper is so volatile. I mean, he's always been a real dynamite, right?"

"Uh" Harry frowned. He somehow felt that what Ron said made sense. During the last semester, many magic circle items exploded, sending many students to the school hospital.

He shook his head vigorously to disperse these absurd thoughts from his mind.

"One more thing." He said: "Didn't you hear Professor Heimer's threat before you became a mummy?"

"What threat?" Ron asked blankly.

Harry recalled: "You were talking about something that would tear us apart and kill us. I asked you that at the time, but you acted like you didn't hear it."

Ron's expression became frightened little by little: "Are you serious? Professor Hemmer has thought about killing us?"

Harry could only look at Hermione, but Hermione also shook her head: "I didn't hear those words either, Harry, but I don't think you heard it wrong, but have you ever thought that it might not be Professor Heimer?"

I said it myself, after all, he didn’t say a word afterwards - I mean, there are many weird collections in his office, maybe some of the items in them made the words come out."

Harry understood immediately, but he still asked with some doubts: "But why didn't you hear it? It was only me -"

He suddenly took a breath of air.

What else could it be because of?

There is one thing that only Harry knows.

The Sorting Hat once almost sorted him into Slytherin. Could it be that there were similar items in Professor Hemmer's office and he was recognized.

Think he should be sorted into Slytherin?
