Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 249 Horcrux and Caution

Transfiguration is very magical, but it cannot turn an adult into a complete child, especially since we still don't know whether Voldemort's state is considered human.

"name."

"Ha Harry Potter."

"age."

"Thirteen years old——Professor, I——"

"Don't interrupt, just sit still."

Toby was sitting behind his desk, his eyes fixed on little Harry opposite him. His gaze made Harry want to hide.

Until now, he still doesn't know what happened.

Just now, Professor Heimer suddenly appeared at the entrance of the Gryffindor common room, and then asked Hermione and Ron to take Hedwig away. Those who should participate in the rehearsal should go to the rehearsal. As for Harry himself, he was immediately taken away.

Call the Ancient Magic Office.

Afterwards, Professor Heimer thought for a while, then suddenly left, leaving Harry alone in the office, but he came back not long after, and then it turned into a series of interrogations.

"Devil." Toby remembered what was wrong with Harry, and he said, "Call out your devil."

oh?

Although he didn't understand, Harry still did as he was told.

The recorder blew out streams of black smoke under the playing of Parseltongue, and a rune snake with three heads gradually took shape, and the snake letter was revealed.

"Do you remember the characteristics of the rune snake?" Toby asked as if he was in class.

"Remember, Professor." Harry told the special features of the rune snake: "The head on the left is the planner, who will decide where the snake will go and what it will do in the future. The head in the middle is the dreamer, which is a bit whimsical.

Meaning, the one on the right is the critic. Its teeth are highly venomous and it often quarrels with the other two heads. Sometimes it is bitten off by them together, causing the rune snake's lifespan to be short."

"You're right, Harry." Toby whispered, pointing to the fanged head: "Did you see the lightning scar on its head?"

Of course Harry could see it clearly, because this was the only head with a lightning scar, and even the appearance of the scar was exactly the same as his own.

Professor Heimer's next words shocked him.

"At first, I was still wondering why there was only one scar on one head. It wasn't until today that I realized that this was probably what the mysterious person left on you intentionally - losing control. And the loss of control you had some time ago was also caused by the mysterious person.

The soul is affecting you."

"In other words, you can now be called the heir of the Dark Lord."

Harry opened his mouth wide and remained motionless.

Toby ignored Harry's reaction and continued: "I know this is hard to accept, but if you have to say it, I think I can help you."

"What is it, Professor?" Harry asked hurriedly, fearing that he would lose even this little hope.

But what will Professor Heimer do? What is Voldemort's soul inside my body?

Harry was surprised to see a smile appear on Professor Heimer's face. He really didn't know why the professor could still smile at such a time.

"First of all, we must explain some clues clearly." Toby said: "Soul. Regarding the soul, this is a clue I got from Barrow. It is a very interesting clue - what is reflected in you is the mystery.

People don't know how to hide part of their souls in your body. In fact, we can think more maliciously that Voldemort may be resurrected in your body one day - of course, no one wants to see it.

Until something like this happens.”

Fear and anger filled Harry's mind, and there was absolutely no way he would allow such a thing to happen.

"So, we now have two methods."

Seeing Professor Heimer's relaxed look, Harry gradually became filled with confidence - there were actually two of them.

"The first and safest method is to find a way to block all influences from mysterious people, including demons, and more unexpected situations that you may encounter in the future. This method requires you to first learn Occlumency

, but I want to remind you that this magic is not at all simpler than summoning the devil, and we can roughly understand it now - I really hate to say this, Harry, but maybe it is because of Voldemort that you can successfully summon the devil.

He is the wizard who best understands black magic."

"In other words, this method has no prospects. Moreover, you have to wait until you learn Occlumency before you can then solve the problem of souls in your body that do not belong to you, which is very time-consuming."

"What about the second method, Professor?" Harry simply abandoned the first method. He certainly didn't want to wake up one morning and find that he had turned into Voldemort.

"The second method is much easier." Toby showed a confident smile: "I am not a person who is used to sitting still and waiting for death. That part of the soul is the maliciousness left by the mysterious person on you, but it is also his flaw. As long as we pay close attention

If we study it over time, we can find out the location of the mysterious man - as for the rest, how to solve this problem, isn't it already in front of us?"

Toby moved his gaze to Harry's side, and Harry also looked at his devil - the rune snake with three heads.

The head with the scar felt the malicious intent in Toby's eyes, and hissed out.

Harry didn't hesitate for too long before deciding: "I listen to you, Professor, and use the second method!"

"Very good." Toby said with satisfaction: "Let's do this, you won't go to Severus' confinement in the future, save your time and put it here with me. I promise you, Harry, the mysterious man can't escape.

of."

After Harry left, Toby sat alone for a long time.

soul

He looked at the two skeletons in the corner, and the one that turned into Black's corpse was still in the Ministry of Magic. It would only appear in the drama program when the celebration officially started.

"Do you also have a soul?" He murmured: "But why are you like this? Are you even stupider than a mummy? Is this the price of eternal life?"

"Eh?"

Toby suddenly looked left and right, confusion in his eyes.

"Did I forget something?"

In the abandoned bathroom on the second floor, Myrtle's frightened voice sounded from one of the stalls: "You-you-when are you leaving?"

Bloody Barrow stood at the door, his eyes straight and motionless.

"I will leave when Toby comes back to me."

Both Toby and Al had forgotten about Barrow.

Early the next morning, Toby was woken up from his sleep.

"ah--!"

This was not what Al called, but someone was trapped in the office area outside the door - how could Toby not set a trap in the sleeping area? The first rule of archaeology - always be vigilant.

He turned over and didn't wake up.

It didn't take long before a second voice sounded.

"Toby, I'm here--"

There was no movement.

Sounds like Snape.

Al rubbed his eyes and asked in a daze: "Huh?"

"Don't worry about him." Toby said half asleep.

The third voice was closer than ever, as if ringing right next to Toby's ears.

"It's time to get up, Toby."

Toby suddenly turned over and sat up, and Dumbledore stood at the end of the bed looking at him.

"Principal?" Toby asked in surprise: "Why are you here? Hey, how did you escape?"

"You mean the potion of living hell?" Dumbledore pointed to the potion mist wrapped in bubbles around him and said, "It's a very interesting trap. Myrtle and Severus both fell into it. In addition, you

Could it be that you hid so many potions in advance to prevent loss of control? I heard Severus say that it was just an illusion you put on, is this true? "

"Is there such a thing?" Toby asked confusedly: "Why is Myrtle outside - oh, no, I forgot Barrow."

"He has gone back." Dumbledore's blue eyes flashed: "He waited for you all night last night, and so did I. I didn't sleep all night."

The principal's tone didn't sound very friendly.

Al quietly covered his face with the quilt and did not dare to get up.

"Same for you?" Toby asked confused: "Didn't I come to you once? Then what are you waiting for me to do?"

"Of course I want to hear what you did to Harry." Dumbledore stared at him and said, "You didn't do anything to that child, did you?"

Toby felt deep distrust in Dumbledore's eyes.

"What are you talking about!" He jumped up from the bed and protested: "What can I do to him? Should I kill him, or should I put him in jail for the rest of his life? Is this how you view me? And what else?

Ferrus, why would Severus come to me? Do you trust him more than me?"

Dumbledore said calmly: "I can't help but care that you just said last night that Harry is Voldemort's heir."

"These are two different things." Toby waved his hand impatiently: "This doesn't explain anything, and Harry can't agree. How could he surrender to the murderer of his parents."

Dumbledore was obviously relieved. It seemed that he had really stayed up all night last night because he was worried that Toby would do something irrational.

"What's your plan?" he asked with interest.

"It's very simple." Toby said mysteriously: "First find the mysterious man through Harry. It would be better if he can replace the mysterious man -"

"Wait a minute." Dumbledore said with a straight face almost instantly: "What does it mean to replace Voldemort?"

"Soul." Toby smiled and said: "I finally know what Voldemort's secret is, principal - what happened to Harry is incredible, but it is not without any clues - Horcruxes, the mysterious man has created more than

A Horcrux, it seems that Harry has also become his Horcrux."

This time, Toby saw deep surprise in Dumbledore's eyes.

"How do you," he asked, looking at Toby, "how do you know about Horcruxes?"

It was not until last night that Dumbledore became more suspicious of this.

But long before that, even before Toby entered school, Dumbledore noticed that Tom Riddle had searched for some very evil books - such as "The Secret of Advanced Dark Arts", which was mentioned in this book

Horcrux.

Later, Dumbledore took the book away from the library, unwilling to let any students have access to it.

"It's a long story." Toby said proudly: "Do you still remember an adventure that Angela and I had together? It was the one that happened in the African temple. It was amazing. I discovered some and

There are clues about the despicable Herbo. He must have been to that temple, but failed and failed to break into the deeper depths. He is not as good as me - of course, he was a wizard thousands of years ago, and many of the current spells

I’ve never seen it before, so it’s normal that I can’t do it.”

"In short, after that archaeological study, I checked some records related to Herbo, and found that he was actually the dark wizard who created the basilisk and the Horcrux, and maybe the first Parseltongue in history - besides that

There is relatively little information that can be consulted outside, and I don’t know whether his immortality has been successful. But I know about Horcruxes - whether it is murder or other things, such as the ritual process, it is very consistent with the mysterious person.

- Myrtle's death further proves this, very close to the time when the diary was created."

"So, Harry should be one of the Horcruxes created by the mysterious man, but I don't think he did it intentionally. It should be an accident - an accident that turned Harry into his heir, such as the snake

Parseltongue, we can all figure it out - it was the mysterious man who passed on the ability of Parseltongue to Harry. So, can it also help Harry learn more things?"

"In the end, will he really replace the mysterious man completely?"

"soul."

Toby kept talking, and he was getting more and more excited. This was all what he came up with last night: "The key is still in the soul. I have to go to Barrow, the principal, and I have to ask him about Ravenclaw."

Specific research on Slytherin will definitely help with this matter."

As he spoke, he was about to run out of the bedroom, but was caught tightly by a strong hand. Toby did not expect that Dumbledore was as strong as his age.

"Principal?" He turned around and asked.

"Then what?" Dumbledore looked into Toby's eyes and said, "What do you plan to make Harry become, the next Dark Lord?"

"How can such a good thing come to his advantage?" Toby suddenly became excited: "No matter what, the mysterious man is very advanced in black magic. In the end, he has to leave it to me and let me take care of him.

Research to see if it can help analyze the place of ancient magic - let alone the Dark Lord. Where the Dark Devil is, there is no place for the Dark Lord."

Dumbledore seemed to feel a lot more relieved, even though his remarks didn't sound very good.

But compared with what he did when he was young, it's already pretty good.

"You can continue to sleep." Dumbledore said with a smile: "Leave the matter of meeting Barrow to me, and I will try to ask about the research content."

Toby asked with a strange look in his eyes: "It's you again? Helena, and Barrow, have you taken away the business of meeting them? Will you also take away my ancient magic research in the future?"

"Someone is already doing this." Dumbledore said: "Be careful about Grindelwald, be careful about him. Didn't you just ask me why I trust Severus more? Because I know that he must not

Will surrender to Gellert."

Toby pouted: "It's as if I would do that."

"No." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "I know exactly what you will do - you think you can use Grindelwald to study ancient magic, but as soon as you have this idea, you have fallen into his trap.

"

He repeated again: "Remember, beware of Grindelwald."

Under Dumbledore's motionless gaze, Toby nodded reluctantly.
