Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 177 Toby, Voldemort, Dumbledore (please subscribe)

What a long revenge.

Ever since he left a strange dead animal carcass in the Forbidden Forest last semester, Voldemort knew very well that based on this clue alone, Dumbledore would definitely gain something in Albania.

It's no longer safe there.

So, after the final plan to take away the magic ball and the magic stone failed, Voldemort boldly sneaked into an unknown place - Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.

No one knows where the secret room is, it is absolutely safe.

He inhabited the basilisk, which was originally impossible to do, but snakes had a different meaning to him. Coupled with the magic potion he had asked Quirrell to prepare, he finally had the ability to possess more creatures.

.

Voldemort waited silently, waiting for the opportunity to take revenge.

Until, he unexpectedly came across the Horcrux he had asked Lucius Malfoy to keep - the notebook of his youth.

He became extremely angry and couldn't imagine that this idiot would treat his Horcrux like this.

But it's not surprising, is it?

Voldemort knew very well what he relied on to conquer his subordinates - strength, and more fear.

It's no big deal.

he said to himself.

Sooner or later, he will make all fools pay the price.

He didn't touch the little girl, even though he knew it was easy to do, but there was no rush. At best, Ginny could only become an insignificant body, that was too weak, too weak to be

Have a slight effect.

He has a more sophisticated plan to implement.

The old diary became his helper. That was normal. They were his Horcruxes and he knew how to control them.

And he also received a temporary body - a basilisk.

After the diary asked Ginny to awaken the basilisk, he could use Parseltongue to command the basilisk. The abundant vitality would prevent the basilisk from dying as easily as ordinary animals and could last longer.

So, the plan began to be implemented.

If there was anyone he wanted to get rid of most at Hogwarts, then there was no doubt that it was Albus Dumbledore.

But Voldemort knew how difficult this would be, even when he was powerful.

Therefore, the target was placed on the second important person-Toby Highmore.

Not only was Voldemort eager to get the magic ball, he needed it so that it could become a more flexible temporary body.

It was also because Voldemort was clearly aware of Toby's threat.

He understands him and the power of ancient magic.

This is a person who must be eliminated.

In the first attack, due to a small mistake, Toby did not die completely, but was only petrified.

But this also made Voldemort realize that Toby's condition was not as good as he saw, and that he had his own troubles to solve.

Voldemort began to think more.

This time, in the second attack, the basilisk caused Toby more damage and looked him directly in the eyes.

But the magic of the Pharaoh's mask amazed Voldemort, and he faintly saw the shadow of a Horcrux on it.

But it was too late, the magic ball was not with Toby, but was taken away by Al. So Voldemort just stole the wizard potted plant, and he realized how extraordinary this collection was.

Next, he needs to possess the wizard's potted plant, eager to have a more flexible body.

As for the notebook, feel free to spread rumors related to Toby Highmore. If used properly, it will cause irreparable regrets to Dumbledore——

Let Toby Highmore kill Harry Potter with his own hands.

But after that, the plan went wrong.

What Voldemort didn't expect was that the stupid Harry Potter would think that he was the real heir.

This is really ridiculous.

The diary that was thrown into the bathroom also revealed a lot of important information to him through the wall, in a Parseltongue manner.

The details of the plan changed, but it still went smoothly.

until today.

The sacrificed basilisk had its organs punctured in advance so that it could not hear any sound.

Parseltongue allows the basilisk to act according to preset commands and counterattack at the most critical moment, affecting Toby Highmore's consciousness and instead allowing the crazy Pharaoh to control his body.

Next, wait for Dumbledore to see Harry Potter's body with his own eyes.

Voldemort didn't stay in the bathroom for too long. He saw the large disguise witch robe that Hermione had prepared. With a touch of his palm, it turned into fitting clothes and he wore it.

He disguised himself as Toby, even the fog under his hood was exactly the same.

In complete silence, he came to the dark corridor and walked towards the stairs, without meeting anyone on the way.

Even if you bump into it, it doesn't matter.

The Animagus wizard who transformed into a plant has unpredictable abilities, which took Voldemort a long time to achieve the control he has now.

But this is not without cost.

A sleeping consciousness affects him all the time. It is the remaining consciousness of the original wizard, and the other party is not completely dead yet.

Eternal life, eternal life.

For many years, countless wizards have longed for immortality and have come up with many fantastic ideas for this purpose.

Now this body is just a failure.

But Voldemort still needs to find a way to completely destroy this consciousness and solve all future troubles.

He already has a solid plan.

Just one Horcrux is enough.

The diary is a perfect substitute, allowing the younger self to replace this dead soul.

Voldemort knew that the diary plan was not completely successful and that it failed to affect Harry Potter, so he needed to take action himself.

Moreover, its location is also a bit strange. It is inside the Forbidden Forest, and the sensing coming from far away is very weak.

But it's nothing difficult.

After possessing this body, he made the notebook's abilities much stronger, and he could use the little remaining magic power to influence those who came into contact with it.

The diary is safe.

After passing through the playground and entering the Forbidden Forest, Voldemort successfully used this sense to find the location of the diary and also saw the silver armor.

A voice no different from Toby's came from under the hood: "Open the coffin."

The armor complied.

It discovered that a black notebook had appeared in the coffin at some point, which made it suspicious. It turned to look at "Toby" and then at the notebook.

"Give it to me," Toby said again.

Armor did so again.

It bent down to pick up the notebook, walked up to "Toby" step by step, and handed it to him.

Voldemort also raised an arm and grabbed the notebook.

At this moment, the armor retracted its arm, preventing him from grabbing it.

Under Voldemort's angry gaze, the visor slowly opened, revealing the skull inside, and his mouth opened and closed, as if conveying words.

A voice sounded from behind Voldemort.

"It's so rare that I don't even remember this notebook."

The real Toby appeared behind him at some point, holding another skull in his hand, and there were still traces of explosion damage on the witch's robe.

"You really don't think I'll make the same mistake twice, do you?"

Two black chips fell from the eye holes of the mask, with subtle magic circles engraved on them.

What was revealed behind that was a gaze that was even deeper than the darkness.

A biting cold wind blew by, raising countless amounts of frost and snow.

The armor suddenly clenched the long ax in his hand and struck, and brilliant light emerged from Toby's feet at the same time. Voldemort stood motionless between the two, and he didn't see any movement. The surrounding trees raised their branches one after another, turning into countless

The Whomping Willow is coming towards them!

The fire covered the entire snowfield in an instant, and thick smoke rose into the air.

When the smoke cleared, Voldemort was nowhere to be seen and he had disappeared.

The armor slowly turned his head and looked, then walked up to the real Toby and handed the black notebook into his hands.

The mouth of the skull in the other hand opened and closed again. Toby put the diary away. He shook his head and said, "No, someone is waiting for him."

"Let's go first. Trouble will come soon. I'm not in the mood to see centaurs now."

Armor silently picked up the coffin and walked back behind Toby following the footprints in the snow.

Calm returned to the woods, and a bright red feather fell on the snow, turned into flames, turned into dots, and dissipated in the snow marks.

Voldemort somehow returned to the castle. He was running hastily, anger filling his chest.

Now is not the time for a fight, he needs to solve the trouble with this body as soon as possible.

Fortunately, he also hid another Horcrux in Hogwarts.

Voldemort came to a blank wall on the eighth floor, and a door slowly appeared on it. Voldemort opened the door and walked in quickly.

The Room of Requirement is the deepest secret of Hogwarts.

Voldemort believed that everyone who knew this secret was almost dead. Just look at the mountains of garbage. It had been hidden here for hundreds of years.

He still remembered how he had hidden the Horcrux in this room after he was refused a position at Hogwarts.

At that time, he had been practicing abroad for many years and had a group of reliable "friends", but Dumbledore still rejected him based on his prejudice against him.

This is an unforgivable act, and it is really ridiculous. I want to let the nihilistic and absurd theory affect myself - love.

Dumbledore doesn't understand what power is at all. He will only use that boring statement to deceive himself and then deceive more of his students.

This doesn't make any sense.

Voldemort had witnessed the true power with his own eyes, which made everyone fearful and even dared not speak his name.

Now, he is about to take away this power.

After walking through several claustrophobic alleys, Voldemort saw a large cabinet with a blistered surface that looked like acid had been poured on it. He vaguely remembered that there was a cage inside, and the animal carcass in the cage had five legs.

Next to the cabinet is a crate with a tattered bust of an ugly old wizard on it.

Next to it, there is a rusty crown.

That is the item Voldemort wants to take away.

His footsteps became more and more impatient, and he was about to reach the cabinet.

Then, he slowly stopped.

The cabinet had been pushed open from the inside, and there were no cages or dead animals.

Dumbledore appeared in Voldemort's sight. He stood in the middle of the alley, facing the silent Voldemort. He glanced back and saw the rusty crown.

"The size looks right for a hollow tree," he said, returning his gaze to Voldemort.

"So, is this Ravenclaw's diadem? I've seen the statues of Lady Ravenclaw, and they look similar. You probably took them from Albania and put them back in Hogwarts. Maybe I

You should be awarded a special contribution award. Although you already have one, there are never too many trophies."

Voldemort stared at him with cold eyes.

Seeing this, Dumbledore simply continued: "You must want to know why I hid here in advance, right? Speaking of which, my student and I have quite a tacit understanding of ideas, and I believe that, like me, we both

Everyone has learned something from him.”

"But it had nothing to do with Toby at the beginning. Instead, it was another student who reminded me. I didn't expect that he was only in the second grade and he and his friends had already guessed what the monster in the secret room was - a huge monster.

The basilisk."

"But I haven't seen the basilisk with my own eyes. It's been a busy journey. After getting the news, I returned to Albania again and looked at the hollow tree for a long time. Then I couldn't help but guess,

Why did you stay there? Why exactly there?"

"My guesses are not as great as you think."

"Eternal life, the best I can guess is this."

"But then I couldn't help but think, where will you put this thing?"

"There are so many answers. So many that I don't even have time to go back to school and attend Christmas dinner with the students."

"But fortunately, thanks to my student, he was eager to return to Hogwarts. Although his purpose was not simple, he wanted to be the principal and wanted to do archeology in the school, but he

I really want to go back to Hogwarts."

Dumbledore paused for a moment, his blue eyes always fixed on Voldemort.

"It reminds me of you, too, Tom."

"I remember you did this once. But after I rejected you, you became Voldemort. But I didn't reject Toby - I know what you are thinking. This is not a difference in treatment, but the difference in your hearts.

different."

"Anyway, I thought why not come back and give it a try?"

"Maybe it's the secret room, or maybe it's this magical room. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the secret room, which made me not as good as my students. So looking at it this way, it seems that I only have one choice left."

Dumbledore looked at Voldemort and finally said:

"How many more crowns do you have, Tom."

The battle started suddenly.

Dumbledore's speed was so fast that people couldn't see clearly. His spell passed through the black witch robe. The next second, Voldemort's figure appeared behind Dumbledore. At the moment he was about to touch the crown,

A small phoenix suddenly appeared, as if it had just passed into nirvana.

Fawkes bought precious time for Dumbledore. The flames it spurted touched Voldemort's hands. The next second, the spell hit Voldemort, but he suddenly turned into a rotten dry tree, broken and flying.

, turned into sawdust on the ground.

"Death is just the beginning."

Following Voldemort's last words, Dumbledore's hands passed through the flying wood chips and held up the crown with both hands.

At the same time, Toby also opened the door. He saw such a magical house for the first time, and saw Dumbledore turning around in the distance.

"I told you that you should come back as soon as possible and put your plan to become the principal on the agenda as soon as possible."

After talking to himself for a while, he took out his black notebook, stretched out his arms and raised them in the air.

"Hey, Principal!"

He shouted: "Look what I have prepared for you, I believe you will like this Christmas gift!"

Dumbledore withdrew his gaze, exchanged a look with young Fawkes, and then silently put the crown into his pocket and put it away, hiding it carefully so that Toby would not discover this precious magical item.

Archaeologists don't seem to be much easier to deal with than Voldemort.
