Archaeologists at Hogwarts

To be honest, Toby never thought that he would still have book fans.

Before returning to Hogwarts, he had been living in no fixed place, running around, not to mention spending most of his time on ancient ruins. Even if someone did write to him, the owl would not be able to find it.

he.

Usually at that time he was wrestling with an ancient curse.

But just today, Toby actually gained a book fan!

This really surprised him.

He excitedly opened the letter sent by the book fan, but unfortunately the book fan did not send him a gift, perhaps because the other person was in a bit of embarrassment.

When the folded parchment was finally pulled out, Toby saw the beautiful handwriting on the paper at a glance. It seemed that his book fan was still a well-educated reader, which made Toby even more satisfied.

He raised his eyes and looked at the content——

Dear Mr. Toby Haimer!

What is the origin of the magic circle? Why has it not been passed down?!

Where is the lost city? Which lake is it at the bottom of?!

What's the matter with the Egyptian pyramids? What was written halfway through and then disappeared?!

What about the temple in Africa? I also want to read more of Angela’s story, but how can I write it with a beginning and no tail? What happened to her later?!

What happened to the werewolf in the Himalayas? Why didn’t he appear again?!

What about the ancient city in the desert?!

What is the secret between life and death?!

Why does ancient magic set the limit of 1379?!

Could you please explain yourself more clearly?!

Toby flipped the letter over and covered it with a snap, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

terrible!

Book fans are really terrible!

Just through words, Toby could imagine the other person's hysteria, and he didn't want to have such a book fan at all.

At this moment, Toby even wanted to curse the other party in advance, so as not to be visited by the other party.

Which method is better? Should I go back to Gringotts again? Which marked bag would be more suitable?

Just when Toby was struggling in his heart, the two house elves bowed to him and said: "Sir, your house has been reorganized."

"oh oh."

Toby looked back and saw that his office had returned to its original state, with no trace of Snape's fuss.

Before he could recover from the madness of the book lover, he habitually ordered: "Al, pay the bill."

Al was standing in front of the mini mirror, twisting and twirling, dressing himself up. He tilted his head and glanced at Toby with disgust, reluctantly took out two silver Sickles from his belly pocket, and after thinking about it, he

Stuff the Silver Sickle back, replace it with two Bronze Nuts, and throw them into the hands of the house elves one by one.

All the house elves were stunned, their eyes gradually filled with tears, and they kept sobbing: "Mr. Hemmer is such a good man..."

"We can't ask for this money, sir..."

Toby finally realized that he had brought his old tipping habit to Hogwarts.

"You should just take it." Toby waved his hand and said, then he coughed twice and whispered: "Just say more good things."

Um?

The house elves blinked their big eyes and stopped crying.

As soon as he saw them like this, Toby immediately ordered again: "Al, keep paying the bill!"

Although they didn't understand what was going on, the two house elves were still grateful. Toby also took the time to ask a question: "What do you think of the book I wrote?"

"But sir, we have not read your book..."

"Oh, just say it, okay?"

"You are a professor at Hogwarts, so of course the books you write are good."

"Eh? Hehehe! Pay the bill! Al! Keep paying!"

When the two house elves left, their hands were filled with bronze Nats.

Toby's mood finally improved a little bit: "Comfortable."

He snapped his fingers, causing the letter paper and the envelope to burn. He didn't even dare to read the signature on it, so as not to disturb his finally restored good mood.

Al pinched his waist with one hand, pointed the other paw at Toby, and began to murmur non-stop.

Toby strongly denied: "How can this be called self-deception? House elves are the creatures that can't lie the most. Besides, it's all my money!"

Al was so angry that the hair on his body changed color. He jumped up and grabbed Toby's hair fiercely.

Just as the two guys were fighting, the office door was pushed open unceremoniously.

A livid-faced Professor Snape stood outside the door, as if he was trying to kill Toby with his eyes.

Toby tilted his neck and greeted enthusiastically: "Hey! Severus! I have seen your masterpieces. After so many years, your enthusiasm has not diminished at all -"

"If you say one more word -" Snape no longer just wanted to kill Toby with his eyes.

Toby immediately spread his hands: "Okay, okay, what do you want to see me for?"

Severus said coldly, "Tonight is the opening dinner," and then walked away unceremoniously.

"Back-to-school dinner?"

Toby blinked. He was so confused by the letter that he almost forgot about it.

"Hiss-El! I'm warning you! Stop pulling! Your hair is going to fall out!"

At the same time, on the Hogwarts Express, Neville lost Leif again, but he did not dare to look for it from compartment to compartment. He only tried a few compartments and then walked back sadly.

There were still tears on his face.

There was only one empty seat left in the box. He carefully sat on the car seat near the edge. Next to him was a little girl with brown hair and big front teeth. She was staring straight at a book. Neville could see that

It's "Ancient Magic" written by Toby Highmore.

He was very afraid of this little girl. Her eyes were not really friendly, and she looked domineering.

At this moment, the girl suddenly spoke, startling Neville: "Haven't you found the toad yet?"

"It's called Leif..." Neville whispered, and quickly shook his head sadly: "No, I haven't found it. It always wants to run away from me..."

"Okay, okay!" The girl suddenly stood up and slapped "Ancient Magic" on the dining table, which shocked the two people opposite. They didn't understand why she suddenly got angry.

"I'll go find it for you!"

The girl said in a tone that could not be refused.

On the other side, in Harry and Ron's box, Ron was about to use Charlie's old wand to cast a spell on Scabbers, the mouse, but the box door suddenly opened.

"Did any of you see a toad?" she said, sounding arrogant and patronizing.

The two people shook their heads at the same time: "No, we already said we didn't see it."

"Oh, are you trying to do magic?" she said, minding her own business and sitting in an empty seat: "Then let's open our eyes."

Ron was taken aback and Harry was at a loss.

As a result, after a series of unexplained spells, the magic failed.

"Is this a real spell?" the little girl said: "It doesn't look good, does it? I have tried several spells at home and memorized all the textbooks. As far as I know, Hogwart

Triton is an excellent magic school, and the professors in every course are the best. However, obviously, this does not include ancient magic. My name is Hermione Granger. By the way, what are your names?

name?"

"Ron Weasley," Ron muttered.

"Harry Potter." Harry said, and then immediately asked: "What do you mean by ancient magic?"

"Are you Harry Potter?" Hermione asked in surprise: "Then you should be able to understand. The teaching materials for that course are incomplete. Unlike standard spells, which have second and subsequent levels, the entire

This book is not finished at all, it seems like it has been pieced together.”

"I was so angry that I wrote a letter to the author early in the morning. I really wanted to know why he had to torture people like this."

The few of them chatted briefly for a while, and then Hermione took Neville and walked away.

Ron said with sadness: "This is the first time I have seen a student who dared to question the professor before school started. She is really scary."

Harry nodded quietly: "I hope we won't be assigned to the same college as her by then. I don't want to be hostile to the professors at the school as soon as the semester starts."

"By the way, have you read the book "Ancient Magic"?"

"Of course I have. This is a new course. My mother was frustrated for a long time because she couldn't buy second-hand books, but Ginny will always use them."

"Perhaps we should take a look in advance and leave a good impression on the new professor. Hagrid knows the new professor and is said to be a good person."

"What you said makes sense."

Five minutes later, the two of them put down "Ancient Magic" in a daze.

"Why don't you tell me about the affairs of each college?"

"What a coincidence, I thought so too."
