Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 235

Toby is also well-informed. Archeology is not an easy task. Just confirming the location requires a lot of effort. He often encounters scammers who have a sense of luck and think they can defraud him of large amounts of money.

A lot of gold.

To be honest, Toby felt that Sybill Trelawney was a liar - she pretended to be a liar, and her words were vague, not to mention that she might have a drinking habit - which was very consistent with the characteristics of a liar.

Life is a complete failure, with no achievements. I can only seize one opportunity and hold on to it.

Toby did know the special surname Trelawney, because there was a famous prophet named Cassandra Trelawney, and it was estimated that Sybil was her descendant for several generations.

But even so, Toby felt that Sybil had no talent for divination.

He always maintained this view and shared it with his other friends.

"boom!"

The door to the potions office was pushed open forcefully, and Toby rushed in, shouting with a serious face: "Oh no, Severus, the principal has Alzheimer's disease - oh, principal, why are you here too?"

?”

In the cold and dark office, Dumbledore and Snape seemed to have just finished an unpleasant conversation. The expressions on their faces were a bit excited and indignant - mainly Snape. Toby had seen him look like that many times.

Sometimes, Snape only showed it when he was extremely angry.

Soon, Toby saw that expression on Snape's face again, and it was still directed at him.

"What are you doing here?" he said coldly, staring at Toby, and then at Lupine who was following behind Toby, his eyes full of disgust.

"You want me to help him again? You two are hopeless guys."

Several people at the scene could hear the hidden meaning in Snape's words - he was mocking Lupin's werewolf identity.

Lu Ping's face became a little pale and his smile froze.

"Hey!" Toby quickly glanced outside the door. He didn't find any passers-by before turning back and saying, "Be careful, don't take it all out on us - what were you talking about just now?"

"A little knowledge about Potions." Dumbledore stood up and said, he glanced at Snape: "Severus insists on his opinion, it is difficult to change."

Even though he knew that the topic the two men were discussing could not be Potions at all - unless Dumbledore wanted to find a potion formula that would make his hair greasy if he drank it - Toby still quickly changed the subject.

: "Don't worry about him, principal. Just feel free to go. I will help you convince him."

He didn't want to get into trouble at this time.

But who would have thought that Dumbledore would show up in the Potions Office?

It wasn't until the principal left that Toby leaned against the closed door and breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone became more casual: "What were you talking about just now? Could it be that you wanted to secretly poison me?

Was he discovered by the principal?"

"Then he will definitely increase the dose." Snape said fiercely: "I will do the same!"

"That's great." Toby suddenly said cheerfully. He put his arm around the silent Lupine's shoulders and said, "Because he will be the one who drinks the potion - listen to me, Severus -

"

Toby told him his plan.

Snape frowned as he listened, with a somewhat unpredictable expression on his face.

"What do you think?" Toby finally asked: "This may be related to the safety of Hogwarts, or even the disaster of the wizarding world - of course, it can also be seen as a fight between two old men, but

Their strength is extraordinary. So now is the time when we need you, can you brew the polyjuice potion before the celebration starts?"

Lupine remained silent. Whatever he said might anger Snape. In fact, just standing here could already detect the changes in Snape's heart - it was all written on his face.

, just shouting "get out" in a clear voice.

Finally, Snape spoke. He seemed to have figured out Toby's thoughts, and said with an evil expression: "What are you doing again? If you really want to do this, why didn't you just tell Dumbledore these words?"

?”

This is the difference between Snape and Lupine's attitude towards Toby - Lupine will at least leave some kind bottom line.

As for Snape, he never felt that Toby was sincerely doing good things.

Even more Slytherin than Slytherin - this name was given by Toby himself, and Snape's ears were almost rotten from hearing it as early as when he was in school.

The only difference was that he had witnessed similar scenes many times, which confirmed that what Toby said was correct.

All in all, you're right to think of Toby as a bad guy.

Toby's eyes were full of disappointment, and he said: "I didn't expect you to distrust me so much - well, I didn't want to say these things to you originally, but have you ever thought about it, if you really want to be wary of Grind

Wo secretly does bad things, so where should we keep an eye on him?"

Snape figured it out immediately.

"You want Dumbledore to go to Nurmengard?" He asked with a slight twitch of the corner of his mouth: "It's simply fantastic. Do you have a way to convince the principal to do this? In such a sensitive period like this?"

Any connection between Dumbledore and Nurmengard would stir up the nerves of the entire Ministry of Magic and even the wizarding world.

Not to mention the recent reports about the childhood experiences between Dumbledore and Grindelwald. Although "The Daily Prophet" and "The Quibbler" are completely different stories, and they come from different angles, they are both.

Also wonderful.

"Let's try it." Toby said helplessly: "Problems always have to be solved. Think about it on the bright side. Last time it was Grindelwald who trapped the principal in Azkaban. This time the principal finally wants to

I’m going back to fight back—going to Nurmengard to visit the prisoner, doesn’t that sound good?”

Snape sneered: "Not only is it a good idea, it's really a genius idea. Do you know how many things can go wrong with this plan? What if the Ministry of Magic happens to know your plan? Dumbledore is also included.

Lock it in?"

Before Toby could reply, Snape suddenly continued: "Then you go and give it a try. If Dumbledore agrees, then I will have no problem and will help you prepare the polyjuice potion."

On the way away, Lupine was a little confused about Snape's thoughts.

"What's so hard to imagine." Toby curled his lips and said, "I guess he's just waiting to see Dumbledore's joke. They just had a fight, didn't they? He's such a dark-minded guy."

Lupine stared at Toby, and he sighed: "It's really dark - I'm not talking about you, I just can't help but think - if "Sing Tune" can get the right to report this news, then it will

It's going to go crazy, nothing could be more eye-catching than the meeting between Dumbledore and Grindelwald - you don't think so, do you, Toby?"

Under Lupine's frightened gaze, Toby actually nodded: "How could you not think about it? Do you know how short of money the foundation is now? But don't worry, how could I provoke two Dark Lords at once, unless

I would do this if I didn't want to die."

Lupine shook his head and said: "I hope you can call Dumbledore that when you are in the principal's office later - I won't go with you, there are still classes to attend."

So Toby came to the stone beast under the principal's office alone.

The stone beast seemed to have received instructions from Principal Dumbley a long time ago. After seeing Toby, it took the initiative to give up its position and opened the door behind it.

It seems that Dumbledore already knew that Toby would definitely come to see him.

It was very quiet in the principal's office. Dumbledore was sitting on a large chair, lowering his head and reading a book in his hand, and the pages slowly opened automatically.

Toby peeked into the room and asked curiously: "What are you reading?"

Dumbledore said without raising his head: "Of course it's how to prevent Alzheimer's disease - oh, no, it should be treatment. After all, I already have Alzheimer's disease."

Toby pretended that the person who said these words was not him at all. He quickly turned his head and asked: "Who said that? Who dares to slander you like this? Is it you? Black, the whole family.

Bleeding dirty blood."

Phineas Black in the portrait was stunned for a moment, and he shouted angrily: "Who are you talking about, boy? How dare you abuse the great Black -"

"Yes, yes." Toby sat casually on the chair opposite the desk, not even giving Phineas a chance to face him: "You Black family members are the most amazing, and you are still alive today.

Of those, some are in prison, some are apparently dead, and the most powerful one - he has taken refuge in two Dark Lords one after another, maybe there is only one after all."

This was referring to Regulus, but Dumbledore looked up and asked: "Let me think about it, besides me, have you taken refuge with anyone else?"

Many portraits were amused, and even Phineas let out a short, strange cry.

"It's almost." Toby said slowly: "It's almost, I'm going to join Grindelwald, principal. I've always wondered how he came up with the secret of the magic ball, and I often can't help but

I want to go to New Munga and ask him - Otherwise, Headmaster, can you go for me? The Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts will hold a celebration in Hogsmeade village in a while. What will happen on the day of the celebration?

Sample?"

Surprisingly, Dumbledore's reaction was very calm, as if what Toby just said was just revealing what he had eaten this morning.

"Interesting idea." He commented: "But do you really trust an elderly person with dementia to travel far away alone?"

"Oh, come on, Principal." Toby said helplessly: "I have met Trelawney, and I really don't understand why you compare her with Grindelwald? Even if I haven't seen Grindelwald with my own eyes.

Waugh’s talent, but at least he won’t be at the level of a liar. How did Trelawny threaten you in the first place? What method is so effective?"

Dumbledore nodded slightly, but what he started to talk about was the previous topic: "Have you ever thought that it might be a good thing that it was not you but Grindelwald who discovered the secret of the magic ball?

?”

Toby quickly reacted and asked: "Because I'm not as evil as him? Can't do things that only a true dark wizard can do?"

"That's it." Dumbledore said gently: "Even if you have seen the devil's infiltrative torture, it is still difficult to imagine that there are wizards using brains to make magic items - let me tell you, this is better than ordinary people.

The torture is even more horrific, unless it is done with extreme ruthlessness or extreme hatred."

Toby didn't need to think too much and said: "Yeah, Headmaster, it's really hard to imagine - just like not many people know that the Ministry of Magic is also studying the secrets of the brain. The Department of Mysteries, it sounds really fascinating.

"

"I think it would be more charming if you were calm enough not to barge in." Dumbledore said, "Besides, I promised you, Toby."

"Oh?" Toby blinked.

"Remember to tell me the time when the celebration will start." Dumbledore smiled and said: "It's time to meet Grindelwald in person. At least you must know the purpose of his tossing back and forth like this. Otherwise, I want to wait for a long time.

There are many people who can't sleep well inside - this includes you, Toby. I'm impressed that you can bear not to look for Grindelwald without permission until now."

Toby showed an embarrassed smile: "Don't praise me like that - eh? Why does this sentence sound weird? Am I that reckless in your eyes? The truly reckless person should be Severus, he

How dare you, shouting that word on the school playground, is really crazy."

"So we must learn a lesson." Dumbledore said: "Otherwise, mistakes will overwhelm us again sooner or later."

This sounds like the previous paragraph, which doesn't sound like a good thing.

Somewhat like Dumbledore's admonishment to Toby - this feeling is really too familiar, and it happened many times when Toby was in school.

Dumbledore seemed to know Toby's character well at that time. When he was a child, Toby was far less arrogant or introverted than he is now - his world was very simple, and his method of distinguishing people was also very simple - the same college

There are almost no good people, because they will laugh at Toby's blood and origin, then they are enemies.

Especially after Toby understood the reason why he was selected into Slytherin, this trend became even more out of control, and the methods Toby secretly used became much more ruthless.

It wasn't until Dumbledore opened Toby's knot in his heart that he used a very simple method, correcting Toby's mistakes with encouragement, which made Toby feel more kindness.

This method works very well.

As a result, Toby was not allowed to study the secret of the magic ball - he really didn't know whether this was really a good thing.

What about other ancient magics?

You can't go to Dumbledore, let him go to Grindelwald for help?

Or, do you want to become the next Grindelwald?

Is this the right research method?

"What are you thinking about?" Dumbledore asked, looking at Toby.

"I'm wondering," Toby suddenly said, "I'm wondering what the quarrel was between you and Severus. Did he believe those reports?"

"No." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "Severus has always trusted me. Let the conversation end here, Toby."

Toby knew that was all.

"Okay, principal." He stood up and left the office.
