Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 237

The school was full of enthusiasm for the upcoming celebration. Every day, students and even professors sent their pets to the Black Devil Club's mobile classroom. Even Filch arrived, his wrinkled face turned into a ball of smiles.

"Look at my baby, Professor Heimo." He said enthusiastically: "Look at her, I dare say, she will definitely shine on the stage."

Mrs. Norris meowed twice, causing Draco, who was recording on the side, to drop his jaw to the ground in shock - not just him, but all the students had never seen them look so fawning, even the principal often did.

With a snarling face, he loudly rebuked the students for how disobedient they were.

Toby glanced at Al, who was looking around Mrs. Norris carefully.

"Yeah!" it cried.

Mrs. Norris seemed to understand, and she immediately put on a sinister and threatening look, as she did when facing every student. This was not difficult for her.

"good!"

Toby clapped his hands and applauded: "That's great, congratulations on being selected - besides, you don't mind playing the villain, right?"

Both Filch and Mrs. Norris seemed very happy. This was their specialty. They didn't even have to act, they were just living villains.

The interview is still going on.

"Leifu - Well, it seems that playing the role of a stone is a problem. Just let it be the announcer, or the narrator. There is no need to show up. As long as you hold it and let it croak behind the scenes, it should be okay.

Question?"

Neville looked a little embarrassed. He didn't know if he would be able to successfully find Leif by then.

"Diandian? I happen to have a character here that is suitable for a mouse. Put on the anti-monster glasses and see if it agrees."

"Do I have to ask for its permission, Professor?"

"You are the only one wearing glasses, Mr. Weasley. I don't know what Dot said."

"Then it agrees, Professor!"

Hermione also came holding the tiger cub.

"Let me think about it, can I make it quiet?"

Hermione comforted Crookshanks for a while. Ron looked at it curiously, then looked at the mouse in his hand, and found that Crookshanks didn't show any impatience at all - could it really recognize it?

Animagus?

"It should be okay." Toby said after careful consideration: "We still have to check the casting arrangements later and wait for notification."

Draco wrote "to be determined" next to Crookshanks' name. He was itching to see it, and he also wanted his pet to be selected - it was a luxurious owl, an extremely rare breed, which cost his father

A lot of money.

"Let it try." Toby did not embarrass her on this matter.

It was a black owl - not brown, but black, which is indeed rare. It was said to be an owl, but it looked more like an eagle, staring at everyone in the room with a look at prey.

People, especially Al - he is well raised and looks delicious.

"Don't be impulsive, Professor!" Draco covered the owl and shouted quickly: "Virgil didn't mean it. There is something wrong with his eyes, and he can only see things like this."

Al held up the small shovel he dared to take out, and it barked.

Even without the need to wear anti-monster glasses, Draco knew what Mr. Al meant. He turned his head and looked at a few people nearby, then leaned in front of Al and whispered: "Virgil is short-sighted, very short-sighted.

It’s serious, but please don’t tell anyone.”

He almost said that the Malfoy family had to maintain their due respect - in fact, his father was deceived and only found out about this problem after Virgil sent the wrong letter several times.

"I think it's just right."

Toby rubbed his chin and said: "It couldn't be more suitable. I have a role here, let it be played. You don't have to do anything, just be motionless like a stone."

After getting the news, Hagrid also sent Yaya over. Toby did not refuse and even let Yaya get a role, which made Hagrid extremely happy.

"I just bought a batch of new brushes recently." He smiled happily and said, "If Al wants it, just come to me, no one has a better method than me."

Al stared at Hagrid with an evil look - this is the person! The students always want to take advantage of him!

Toby had already felt sad for Tooth's fate in advance.

If this is still acceptable, then the arrival of Professor McGonagall -

"Dean." Toby looked up at the visitor in front of him and asked cautiously: "Don't you want to come here to get a role for yourself?"

"What?" Mag frowned and said, "Me? Acting as an Animagus? Are you going to invite me?"

"No." Toby breathed a sigh of relief. It would be easy as long as Professor McGonagall didn't have this intention.

"Then why did you come to me?" he asked again.

"I received a private invitation." McGonagall said: "The invitation from Fudge - he wanted to get together with people from the school before the celebration started to make sure nothing goes wrong - but, come on,

Everyone knows that he came to us specifically to see you, do you want to go? Filius and I can go with you."

McGonagall's meaning was obvious. Fudge was probably coming with bad intentions, so she asked Professor Flitwick, a former duel champion, to support Toby - there were still many Aurors in the village.

Toby thought carefully for a while, and he replied with a smile: "Thank you, but no need, I have a better candidate."

weekend.

Toby, Snape, and Lupin appeared at the castle gate together, and they walked towards Hagrid's cabin.

"Don't be so gloomy, others will think we are going to commit some kind of murder if they see us."

After finishing speaking to Snape, Toby looked at Lupine and said: "This is a good preview opportunity. You must observe Fudge carefully and don't show off during the celebration."

"Observe Fudge?" Lupine asked doubtfully: "Isn't it Dumbledore I'm pretending to be? Why should I observe Fudge?"

"It depends on what he is going to say later." Toby did not hide his ambition at all: "Instead of letting him be the minister all the time, it is better to change someone to be the minister in advance."

Lupine had long since learned to ignore Toby's ridiculous remarks, and he gave a helpless smile.

Snape sneered: "What about me? Are you going to pull Fudge's hair on the spot and ask me to prepare a polyjuice potion that can turn him into him?"

"It's not impossible." Toby said boldly: "As long as you can shorten the time of preparing potions, you can still give it a try - think about it, what if the Minister of Magic at the celebration shouted "Forever"

Loyalty to the Dark Lord], how long can he last?"

The look on Snape's face revealed exactly what he was thinking - you're dreaming!

Toby didn't say anything. If Al was present, he would definitely ridicule Snape - just pretending to be the Minister of Magic of a country. This is actually not as difficult as these people imagined, and it's not like Toby didn't do it.

But - of course, this was all done for archeology, to find information in a certain country's Ministry of Magic.

Toby was later accused of this matter - but his lawyer's defense at the time was also very interesting - my customer just drank a cup of potion that someone put there, and he could turn into the Minister of Magic.

, and can control the mind - Toby is being manipulated, you have found the wrong person!

As a result, the case remained unsolved. There was no way, when Toby made too much gold, no one dared to ignore him anymore.

By the way, the person who helped him at that time was not a goblin, but an ancient vampire family. These guys have longer lifespans than ordinary people, and their bloodline is purer, but they rarely show up - goblins and giants.

With the consequences clearly visible in their mind, other magical creatures would not dare to provoke the wizard unless it is absolutely necessary.

Back to reality, when the three of them arrived near the cabin, Hagrid was already waiting for them, with a Thestral carriage beside him.

"I heard that you are going to see the Minister of Magic?" He asked worriedly: "Is anything going to happen? Can you help me?"

In recent times, everyone is aware of the conflicts between Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic, which are clearly written in the Daily Prophet and The Quibbler.

"Don't worry, Hagrid." Toby changed his previous attitude and smiled: "It's just a simple drink. Of course nothing will happen. You have to trust our black magic professor!"

When he said this, he patted Snape's shoulder hard. Hagrid thought he had heard wrongly. Lupine silently retracted his intention to add "defense", and Snape turned sideways, leaving no trace.

To avoid Toby's harder slaps.

The choice of driver has become a difficult problem.

Snape and Lupine didn't deal with each other, mainly because Snape was particularly hostile to Lupine - this was completely understandable, even though Lupine had obviously done nothing, but who let him, Sirius and James go too far?

Is it close?

These two people cannot be placed in the carriage.

Toby didn't care, he looked around.

Snape stared at him closely, his eyes seeming to say if you dare to let me drive, just give it a try. It is not impossible that the car will be broken into pieces halfway.

"I'll do it." Lu Ping said gently: "As long as you don't mind that my skills are too poor. And I'm the only one who dresses the most like a coachman."

Toby patted his shoulder without saying anything, turned around and got into the carriage with Snape.

After the car door was closed, one could feel the Thestrals taking off with the carriage. Snape took out a book called "Evil Potion" and started reading it. After each recipe, he would raise his head and stare at Toby for a while. It seemed that

He was thinking about whether there was a chance to poison the person in front of him.

And Toby always gives generous advice.

"Boil potion, are you kidding me, Severus? Are you going to tickle me to death with boil potion?"

"Body separation, what kind of magic potion is this? The picture looks quite exciting. What is it, a liver? You can give it a try, if you have a chance to touch my water glass."

"Here - let me see, if you sit over there, I can't even see clearly!"

Snape gritted his teeth and roared angrily: "Get out of here, or I'll throw you down!"

"Oh!" Toby shouted: "It's going to be a duel again, isn't it! Come on, let's give it a try!"

Lu Ping silently listened to the quarrel coming from the carriage, with a smile on his lips.

"The Divine Edge is Shadowless!"

"Avada——"

"Hey! You guys!"

The smile disappeared, and the carriage almost rolled over and fell, killing all three of them.

Meanwhile, inside Hogwarts Castle.

Office of Ancient Magic.

The heads of the three people were gathered together. The hair on two heads was bright red, and the hair on the back of one head could not be smoothed.

Al is the fourth head, black.

They were looking down at an ancient piece of parchment, watching helplessly as the names of Toby Highmore, Severus Snape, and Remus Lupin flew out of the entire map.

"Huh?" Al asked, looking up.

Fred, who was wearing anti-monster glasses, responded cheerfully: "Professor Heimer should be gone, so that'll be fine, Mr. Al."

Al nodded with satisfaction and barked again.

Fred and George clapped their hands vigorously and let out cheers of celebration. In this way, multi-flavor juice can become an official product and be sold sooner - of course, they have already made a lot of money on multi-flavor juice.

It sells very well at Joko Widodo’s Joke Shop, but who would think it’s too much money?

The large amount of gold Luna earned made many people red-eyed - five hundred galleons! That's five hundred galleons!

Perhaps, if things go well enough, they will have their first store before the start of next semester.

"I said it's not good for you to do this," Harry whispered, "What if Professor Hemmer finds out?"

"Little Harry." Fred said with a smile, "Then what are you here for?"

In fact, Harry didn't know why Mr. Al secretly called him over. He thought it was Professor Heimer's instruction.

At Mr. Al's signal, Fred handed Harry the anti-monster glasses to put on. Because they did not have the function of normal myopia glasses, Harry had to squint to see clearly the bubbles popping up on Mr. Al's head.

Word.

【I remember you have an invisibility cloak? Give it to me.】

"Oh?" Harry asked doubtfully, "What do you want the invisibility cloak for?"

This question is necessary, because Mr. Al does not need an invisibility cloak no matter where he goes. He can walk around the castle without any restrictions, even going to the common rooms of various colleges.

.

【Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask.】

Harry saw Mr. Al making a threatening look: "Don't you want to see Sirius Black again?"

Of course Harry thought about it, he really wanted to get rid of the Dursleys and live with his real godfather.

"Are you going to find him?" Harry asked with bright eyes, "Can you take me with you?"

Al shook his head mysteriously: [It’s not yet time, I need you to wait patiently.]

After getting the Invisibility Cloak and the Marauder's Map, Al made his way to an empty classroom, where Luna and a nervous Ginny were waiting.

"Yeah!" Al shouted happily as he rushed in.

【Let’s go! I can finally buy some spirits!】
