Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 239 The last scene of the drama

The atmosphere on the table suddenly froze.

After drinking another glass of red currant rum, Fudge was obviously drunk, but his eyes were still clear.

The Legend of Sirius?

Could it be the Sirius legend he was thinking of?

"I said, are you planning on doing this-"

"The Sirius Chronicles, or the Black Chronicles. I have no objection to that."

"Yes, The Legend of Sirius. So how much plot do you plan to add to him?"

Facing Fudge's question, Toby said in a matter-of-fact tone: "Of course it's all. Since the name is called The Legend of Sirius, there is no reason not to tell the story clearly - you can start with the enrollment, no

Do you know that Sirius is the only member of the Black family known to have been sorted into Gryffindor House in the past hundred years? This is rare enough - if you don’t believe it, you can ask Lupine. He was with Black when he was in school.

He is a good friend and knows everything about him very well."

Lupine nodded silently, and Snape snorted, but said nothing more.

Toby is right about this. Sirius is definitely a weirdo of the Black family. Even if he was not sorted into Slytherin House as usual, he can actually become a Gryffindor student - these two things

The two colleges have always had a strong competitive relationship, which is a tradition since ancient times.

At least from this point of view, he rebelled fiercely against his family.

Regarding the drama, even if Toby did not make a big announcement, Lupine and Snape could get some information from other people. Now that rehearsals have begun, it is not difficult to know this information.

Lupine didn't expect that Toby would actually do this. He knew a lot about the grievances between Sirius and Toby. By the way, the origin of the whole process was also very strange, because Toby thought that he was worse than Slytherin.

This was an important turning point for the beginning of Slytherin - so, to a certain extent, Sirius's resistance to Slytherin House was regarded by Toby as his betrayal of himself.

It's betrayal.

At that time, little Toby believed that he was the most decent Slytherin, and sooner or later he would achieve greater achievements than Slytherin himself, and he would vaguely occupy the later Slytherin House with a master's mentality.

As a result, no one expected that a restless guy like Sirius would appear in Hogwarts.

In addition, Snape, Sirius and James have never dealt with each other, so the two sides accumulated a lot of conflicts with each other, and in the end it was difficult to explain what was going on - everyone

If you want to seize the opportunity to tease the other person severely, it doesn't matter even if you kill a life.

Toby did this, and he believed that Snape must have thought the same way. Otherwise, why would Snape invent a spell like Shen Feng Wu Ying specifically to deal with flesh and blood? It would also leave scars that would never heal.

The purpose is to teach those two guys a lesson.

Well, Toby naturally excluded himself from the reason why Shen Feng Wu Ying was invented. In the end, Toby still suffered a lot because of this spell - it is hard to say that Snape had an attack just now in the carriage.

Is the reason related to Toby arranging such a drama - it sounds like he misses Sirius, how does he deserve to have such a reputation? He should be trampled hard under his feet, and he will not be able to get over until death.

There was silence at the table for a long time. After Toby gave his answer, Fudge and Scrimgeour looked at each other and then said nothing.

The reactions of the three people on the opposite side made Fudge confused for a moment what was going on - he was not surprised that Heimer would find help, but the wonderful appearance just now was shocking enough.

Not to mention that Lupine, of the two, seems to have been threatened. As for Snape - no need to look, this guy must be Hemmer's enemy.

But Fudge's mental preparation in advance was to find more Dark Devils, at least at the level of Death Eaters. As a result, the reality was different from what he imagined, a very big difference.

At this time, Scrimgeour suddenly spoke, his brows furrowed tightly: "If I heard correctly, are you planning to reenact Sirius's experience of being unjustly imprisoned? I'm going to tell you.

Yes, it was an extraordinary period. Even Aurors could use the Unforgivable Curses without responsibility. The situation at that time was more difficult than you imagine——"

"Yes, I know very well." Toby interrupted with a wave of his hand: "I also know that this is very detrimental to the Ministry of Magic, so are there any other questions?"

Scrimgeour was dissatisfied with Toby's reaction, but he didn't ask any more questions, leaving the most important question to Fudge.

"Are you going to mention anyone else in this show?" Fudge said pointedly. He didn't care about that much now, and suddenly realized that the carriage that had just been blown up might be a warning.

If Toby Highmore can blow up that carriage, does that mean he can blow up this bar just as easily?

"Don't forget the agreement between us." Fudge continued to remind: "Don't forget why we held this celebration - we must reveal to the outside world that the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts have reconciled.

News, or we'll all be in big trouble."

His eyes were red when he said these words. It was obvious that he had not slept well for a long time, and it was difficult to sleep well. Just to get rid of the suspicion of colluding with Grindelwald, there were many aspects.

Difficulties to deal with.

The International Federation of Wizards has become increasingly dissatisfied with his behavior.

"Yes, I also understand the purpose of the celebration, Minister." Toby said in a slow tone, which made Fudge's brows jump again. He gradually calmed down after confirming that the nearby Aurors were not far away.

"Then why do you insist on arranging the Legend of Sirius?" He asked vaguely angrily.

"Because there won't be any wizards appearing in this play." Toby still said in that casual tone: "But magical animals. To be precise, they are the pets of Hogwarts school and professors."

The expression on Fudge's face was a little dazed, but Scrimgeour was the first to come to his senses. He investigated Toby very clearly and knew what he had done recently.

"Anti-monster glasses?" he asked: "Are you doing this to promote your own products?"

"Wrong." Toby said, wagging his finger from side to side: "It's not my product, but Hogwarts's - forget it, let's just say the Dark Devil Foundation."

The corners of Fudge's mouth twitched. He really didn't want to hear the name "Dark Devil", even if it had the name of a foundation.

Toby ignored his expression and continued: "This is just a simple drama. It won't be very complicated. Even if you want to be complicated, it is difficult to do it. The students' pets can't understand human speech - but if they can

To put it more clearly, that would be terrible, I don't want to find a second Peter Pettigrew."

Fudge's expression turned ugly little by little as he listened to Toby's sarcasm. But what does this have to do with him? That was a problem left by the previous minister, not caused by him.

"So -" Toby continued: "If it weren't for such a name, not many people would understand that this is the life of performing Sirius Black."

Fudge gradually felt relieved, but he still had one most important question to ask.

"Where's the mastermind?" he asked, "Who are you going to identify as the mastermind?"

He almost asked directly whether to choose Voldemort or Grindelwald.

This is also the main cause of the recent troubles. If it weren't for the fact that he was so entangled in the handling of Gellert Grindelwald and Dumbledore was obsessed with the problem of dementors, there would be so many things.

"The mastermind behind this will not be a person, but a symbol."

Toby stared at Fudge closely and said: "Any wizard may become this symbol, minister, so we must be careful and cautious enough to never confuse enemies with friends, otherwise it will be difficult for everyone."

Fudge heard what Toby meant, and it was obviously Grindelwald again - Toby was warning him not to have any contact with Grindelwald.

"I hope you can guarantee this too."

Fudge said that he was not angry because of Toby's threat. He really meant it. If it weren't for the recent tension between him and Dumbledore, Fudge would have brought the principal over with him. He wouldn't

I hope that there will suddenly be an enemy like Toby Highmore. According to the clues and evidence collected, this person can always be involved in many families with a long history, and he has a lot of influence for a long time.

Toby frowned and stared at Fudge, thinking that Fudge hadn't understood his intentions yet.

Of course it's Kingsley! What are you keeping him for? Are you waiting to rescue Grindelwald again?

Do I have to do it myself?

Well, it doesn't seem impossible. We just need to wait until the celebration is over - no, we can't wait that long. It's best to control Kingsley before then and force him to ask difficult questions about the magic ball.

As for the principal - even though Dumbledore had promised to go to Nurmengard, he had just prepared it as a second hand.

There is never too much preparation, and the more the better.

"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing."

Just as Fudge was about to leave, he suddenly heard Toby speak again. He really felt that he should not drink the remaining red currant rum, otherwise he would have left the bar long ago.

"What is it?" Fudge asked: "If it is a difficult problem for the Ministry of Magic, please forgive me for not agreeing to it, and you can't add any more conditions."

"No, no, no." Toby shook his finger and said, "Don't worry, I'm not here to cause you trouble, but to help you solve it."

"You mean surrendering?" Scrimgeour sneered.

Toby said disdainfully: "Surrender yourself? Do you think the dementors alone can control me? Or do you think Azkaban is too strong? You think it can trap everyone? If that is the case, then the little kid at first

How was Sirius rescued?"

The answer is of course that the culprit is right in front of Scrimgeour. Unfortunately, this has become a mystery. The closest guess is that Black is an Animagus who has never registered, which happens to be the weakness of the Dementors.

, they cannot sensitively sense the emotional changes of animals.

Seeing Scrimgeour continue to argue, Fudge said impatiently: "Tell me what's going on? I have to attend a meeting later and I can't spare so much time."

"Sirius Black's body." Toby said: "Then it should be placed in the Ministry of Magic. I'm right, right? How long do you want to wait? Pettigrew and Sirius, you have to choose one, right? Otherwise

It’s hard to change the atmosphere outside.”

Fudge was obviously moved. Dealing with Pettigrew was very difficult. It involved the International Court of Justice and the International Council of Wizards, and neither was easy to deal with.

But Sirius is different. He is dead now, and there is only one corpse left, which will have to be buried sooner or later.

"Buried with his parents?" Fudge asked.

"No." Toby shook his head and said, "How can that work? It's not attractive at all - don't get excited, Remus, I think someone like Sirius would want to steal the show even at his own funeral.

of."

"You're talking about James." Lupine corrected: "It's James who likes to show off."

"Of course." Snape was no longer silent. He twisted the corner of his mouth and said, "You will never find someone as showy as him, like a clown——"

Seeing that another quarrel was about to happen, Fudge quickly intervened: "Stop, stop, stop, stop, the meeting I said is true. There are only five minutes left. If it's later, we won't be able to catch up."

"It won't take five minutes." Toby raised a finger and said: "Less than a minute is enough - I plan to arrange Sirius's body in the last scene of Sirius's story, which not only symbolizes the end of the drama, but also his

The ending of life - a very wonderful idea, what do you think? In addition, have you protected Sirius's body? Don't make the scene too ugly. Even if you don't need students to perform, you can still scare the cats and dogs.

not good."

"Where did the dog come from?" Scrimgeour asked vigilantly: "I don't remember that students in the school are allowed to treat dogs as pets. Is this a secret weapon between you and Dumbledore?"

"Ha!" Toby laughed loudly: "Weapons? You really have yours. You keep an eye on the pets in the school and waste an entire afternoon coming here and having tea. Are you very free, Director Scrimgeour?"

"

"Enough, enough, enough." Fudge shouted: "It's up to you. This method may make those stubborn guys change their minds. After a while, I will have Black's body sent to the school.

——Do you have a place to accept it? I don't know if there is a morgue in the castle."

"It's very simple." Toby said with satisfaction: "It's not too late to build a temporary one."

Lupine was already immersed in sadness.

Snape squinted his eyes and stared at Toby. He just felt that the more he heard it, the more outrageous it became - you want Sirius's body?

Forget about drama, but Toby would never be able to do such a thing.

At the same time, on the other side, unlike Toby who successfully got the skeleton back, Al encountered trouble, which in its view was simply a big trouble.

Pig's Head Bar, it stood on the dirty bar, banged the table hard, and barked angrily.

Ginny carefully translated on the side: "Even if we don't give you liquor, you can still get a glass of cold beer, right? That's not how business works."

Aberforth wiped the glass with a rag until it became more and more dirty, and then slapped it on the table. Al was so frightened that Al shrank back, but Ginny quickly protected him.

"Don't even think about buying a glass of wine from me." He said in a stiff tone: "Now, all of you, get out of here quickly. This is not the place you should be. Get out of here!"
