Archaeologists at Hogwarts
Chapter 234 Lupin and Divination
Chapter 234 Lupine and Divination
"The situation was extremely dangerous at that time. Scrimgeour almost couldn't help but want to take action on me, but somehow gave up on this plan - probably because Al scared him, and Al always kept a close eye on me.
Scrimgeour, the quill in his hand is waving so fast that it could easily be regarded as some kind of dangerous ritual——"
"Wait a minute, you are not referring to Al's current appearance, are you? He is also staring at me and writing something. Are you sure there is no risk, right?"
"Of course, we are good friends, Remus, how could I harm you?"
"I hope you think so too - but I suddenly remembered that I still have some things to do, so I'm afraid I have to leave for a while."
"Don't leave in a hurry, I haven't finished telling you yet - and then Scrimgeour agreed."
"It's not surprising, right? If the celebration is held on a weekend, students will also go to Hogsmeade. Fudge shouldn't want to stop everyone, that's too obvious."
"Yeah, not surprising, but - a celebration, Remus."
"What?"
"Hold a celebration, otherwise why do you think I asked you to come here?"
"I?"
Lupine's eyes widened in surprise.
"Yes." Toby nodded: "It's you, otherwise who else can I turn to? It's not easy to deal with other people. Many professors were also my teachers. As for Severus - well, he is still
Forget it, I don’t want anyone to be poisoned to death at the celebration.”
"But -" Lupine said doubtfully: "I am very suspicious of a question now. Have you told the principal about Scrimgeour?"
Toby looked at Lupine dissatisfied and said: "Who do you think I am? How could I hide it from the principal - okay."
Under Lupine's glance, Toby reluctantly admitted, "I didn't inform the principal."
The expression on Lupine's face was not surprising.
But then, just a few seconds later, he shouted excitedly: "I understand! Do you want me to pretend to be Dumbledore? You didn't even think about asking the principal to attend?!"
This is easy to figure out - Toby has agreed to Scrimgeour's conditions, but on the other hand, he has not informed one of the parties involved - Albus Dumbledore.
Then who else can be asked to attend in place of the principal?
Of course it’s the talkative Lupine!
No wonder Toby didn't want to ask Snape for help. This whole thing was ridiculous enough, and Snape certainly wouldn't want to get into this trouble.
"Calm down." Toby advised nicely: "I can explain it clearly - if you think about it carefully, has Grindelwald not had any changes in Nurmengard?"
"Which one are you referring to?" Lupine asked.
"Increase the punishment, or take the initiative to escape, no matter what." Toby said: "But Grindelwald didn't do anything, do you still think this is a very normal behavior? He has succeeded.
I have contacted Fudge once, do you think that will be the first Minister of Magic he has contacted?"
Lu Ping's expression immediately became much more serious.
This is indeed questionable.
Toby seized this opportunity and continued to confuse: "Don't you want to share the worries for the principal? Think about it seriously, Remus. I still remember that when we were in school, the principal specially called Severus and me to the office to ask
We will keep your identity confidential."
Lupine seemed to be touched - he had always been grateful for Dumbledore's help. Otherwise, he would not have been able to study at Hogwarts as a little werewolf.
"But it's still too risky." Lupine frowned and said, "I know you are guessing that Grindelwald has a plan and will cause trouble at the celebration - but I am not worried about my own danger, but why do you think I am
Can you perfectly impersonate Dumbledore?"
"Polyjuice Potion." Toby said bluntly: "When the time comes, just drink the Polyjuice Potion, then talk less, smile and nod more, and no one will see through you - because I will follow suit."
Go, I will help you cover it up."
Lupine asked a new question: "Polyjuice Potion? Are you planning to ask Snape for help?"
"Of course."
After taking care of Lupin, Toby said easily: "If you don't look for him, who else can you look for? Come with me."
Lupine glanced back at Al, who was writing rapidly. He still didn't stop waving his quill.
This is really strange, Lupine knows very well that Al is not like this usually.
The two came to the corridor, and Lupine greeted the students passing by. He was particularly good at Defense Against the Dark Arts. He was one of the few serious professors in many years. Every class was interesting.
But today, those students seemed to have seen a ghost and did not dare to look at Lupine. No matter where Toby's eyes glanced, they all lowered their heads and walked quickly, for fear of being called by their names and being locked up.
Confinement or something.
Except for Cedric Diggory, who came forward on his own initiative.
"Professor." Cedric greeted him cautiously. The recent publicity of Draco Malfoy, the Minister of Magic, gave him a lot of sense of crisis. Cedric once again couldn't help but doubt whether the professor really
I forgot about my assistant's assistant.
A self-casting wand.
The automatic casting wand that Cedric had in mind has never been able to successfully engrave the second magic circle. It seems to be fixed and there is no progress at all.
"Mr. Diggory." Toby took a few steps forward and then stepped back, looking at Cedric up and down.
"You also come with me." Toby said suddenly.
Cedric looked a little excited. It turned out that the professor had not forgotten him. He couldn't wait to ask the question that he had never had the chance to ask——
"Professor, auto-casting wand——"
"Success?"
"Not yet, the second magic circle——"
"Succeeded too?"
"No, Professor, neither of these goals have been achieved. I can't figure it out."
"Then don't think about it, Mr. Diggory." Toby said casually: "This is an unsolvable problem. I have already tried it. A second complete magic circle can never be engraved on a wand.
, a very weird phenomenon, very rare. If you have to compare, it is like a patron saint. Summoning a patron saint can only use an emotion common to wizards - happiness. You can think of the wand as a kind of patron saint.
It has long been occupied in advance and cannot accommodate other types of magic."
Cedric listened dazedly, and he vaguely realized one thing - that is, he would never be able to make a self-casting wand.
Just knowing the disarming spell is far from enough.
"What are you discussing?" Lu Ping asked curiously.
After learning about Cedric's ambition, Lupine pondered for a while and said: "It's really wonderful magic. I have never seen this type."
"Of course!" Toby said proudly: "It doesn't matter who dug up these histories, that's——"
"Yeah! Yeah yeah!"
Al didn't know when he caught up with him. He was sitting on the small flying carpet and running wildly. He rushed to Toby's side, muttering something in a low voice.
Lupine looked at them and sighed: "No matter how many times I watch it, I can't reduce the novelty of this scene. Seriously, Toby, can you really understand what Al is saying?"
"Of course." Toby frowned and looked at Lupine, then at Cedric.
He was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "The results of the divination are not good."
Divination?
Cedric was still confused when he heard it, but Lupine immediately thought of Al's behavior of swiping the quill just now - it turned out that it was a divination ritual, and it was divined by Al.
Lu Ping was so surprised that he couldn't speak. After more than ten seconds, he hurriedly asked: "What did you divine?"
"A lot of things." Toby frowned and said, "There's Scrimgeour, and maybe Fudge in the future, and there's also the development of The Quibbler, which is very complicated and confusing - oh, by the way, and you."
"With me?" Lupine's eyes became a little strange, Al just now - what kind of ceremony is this?
"Yes, with you." Toby whispered: "I don't want to go through the process of going to school again."
Lupine put on a helpless expression. After turning into a werewolf, he couldn't control himself at all, and would even desperately want to kill people close to him. In other words, the closer the relationship with him is, the more likely he is.
Well, the more likely you are to be attacked by werewolf Lupine.
"Then what should we do?" Lupine asked, "Are celebrations included in the prophecy?"
Cedric finally couldn't help but asked curiously: "Celebration? Professor, will Hogwarts hold a celebration?"
"No," Toby waved his hand and said, "The exact location is Hogsmeade Village. This news will not be announced for some time."
"I understand, Professor." Cedric said that he would definitely keep it secret.
"As long as you understand." Toby said with satisfaction: "You have been working hard these days. It is best to inform every student. For some reasons, the college magazine is not easy to publish the news, so it can only be done by
You finish it."
This is completely different from what Cedric imagined - why would anyone take the initiative to reveal secrets?
Lupine guessed the general reason. He frowned slightly. It was obvious that Toby did not intend to find Dumbledore himself, but informed him in this disguised way.
But think about it, Dumbledore would not allow Toby to take risks with other people, let alone become Dumbledore's substitute. It is very likely that he will face Grindelwald in person, and not everyone can handle it.
Gotta do this.
"Here we are."
After turning left and right for a while, Toby, the two of them and Al completely deviated from the original direction. They no longer went to the underground floor, but walked to the west tower and stopped at a circular door.
In front of the panel door, there is a circular trap door.
Cedric didn't need to read the words on the sign to know where this was - the divination classroom.
Lupine also realized this, and he asked: "Are we here to find Professor Trelawney?"
"The principal told me that Professor Trelawney has very special abilities." Toby said and looked up at the ceiling. At the same time, the door slowly opened.
Toby smiled and said, "Look, she already knows we're coming - huh?"
The reality was somewhat different from Toby's imagination. Trelawney obviously did not foresee the arrival of several people in advance. She was carrying a large bag of bottles, bumping them back and forth, making a clanging sound.
Al, with sharp eyes, immediately saw that those were wine bottles. He had always wanted to try some spirits, but Toby refused to agree.
Trelawny saw several people downstairs almost as soon as she opened the door. She was so frightened that she whimpered. The bag in her hand seemed to smash the heads of the people below - fortunately, three people were there.
Everyone started moving at the same time, even Cedric was no exception. He didn't recite a spell, he just waved his wand casually, not even a formal spell-casting gesture, and then the wine bottle immediately flew out and hit the ground.
The wall turned into debris.
"It seems we came at the wrong time." Lu Ping reminded kindly.
Trelawney burped, as if she had just had a drink.
"No, there's no need." She breathed slowly and said, "Come on, come up. I knew that an unexpected guest would appear today, so I deliberately waited in the room for a long time, but I still couldn't hide from the prying eyes of the Third Eye.
"
The third eye is a term in divination that refers to the mind of the prophet.
Cedric didn't know whether the two people in front of him were familiar with Trelawney, but many people were disapproving of inexplicable divination - of course, this did not include truly gifted prophets.
But the problem is that there are very few such wizards.
There is still a lot of room for doubt as to whether Professor Trelawney is such a wizard.
"Follow me." Toby said first. He wanted to see with his own eyes the abilities of this wizard that Dumbledore had praised in disguise.
Toby didn't know Trelawny. He only appeared at Hogwarts after he graduated. There was a divination class when Toby was in school, but he rarely studied it seriously. At that time, he had not discovered
He has the so-called talent of divination, but it was not until he later learned more about magic related to ritual magic that Toby truly came into contact with this field.
The room was very hot and stuffy, and the smell of smoke was so strong that it took time to get used to it.
"You have something on your mind, boy."
Trelawny suddenly stared at Cedric and said that Toby and Lupine would not think that this title was for themselves.
"I -" Cedric, who had followed him, was stunned. He did have a lot of things on his mind, but he just didn't know which one Trelawney was talking about.
"Wait patiently." Trelawney said in a deep voice: "Don't take action in advance, otherwise you will be looked down upon by the other party."
Why does it sound like emotional counseling?
Lupine tried his best to look at Toby with calm eyes, but Toby had no intention of wasting any more time. He directly asked: "Professor Trelawny, do you need a crystal ball? Or a card?"
Trelawney suddenly looked at Toby, his eyes three times the size of an ordinary person's.
"What you expected will happen." She said, "But if you don't worry about the process, you will have good results."
On the way back to find Snape, Lupine kept thinking about this sentence.
"What exactly does she mean? Is the celebration really in danger?" He looked at Toby and asked.
Toby opened his mouth with a complicated expression, and he suddenly said: "Do you think there is a possibility that Principal Dumbledore actually has Alzheimer's disease, but he just hid it from all of us?"
"What are you talking about?" Lu Ping asked in surprise.
Toby said in a weird tone: "Otherwise, how could the principal think that Trelawney is talented and can even compare with Grindelwald?"
"It seems that he is really old and confused."
