Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 251 Harry’s Boggart

They guessed correctly.

Toby did encounter situations where he needed to be rescued, and more than once.

Fortunately, both Al and Angela were present when exploring the temple, otherwise there might not be Toby in the magical world.

Facing the curious looks of the three people, Toby simply responded: "I can give you a hint. The humanoid devil and the scepter I used in class were originally in the same ancient ruins.

, but now they are forcibly separated."

Harry felt that he roughly understood. He turned his head and saw the same meaning in Hermione's eyes - the humanoid devil once had the scepter, which was why Professor Hemmer was in danger. And then in Al

He escaped with the help of Mr. and Professor Angela. The specific method is related to the patron saint——

All right.

This confused them even more.

Forget it about Professor Angela, but Mr. Al. Can Mr. Al also summon a patron saint?

This is a patronus spell, and there are not many wizards who can use this spell.

"Mr. Weasley." Toby suddenly called: "What are you thinking about?"

This shocked both Harry and Hermione. They saw Ron asking cautiously: "Professor, of course I am willing to help Harry. It is certainly a good thing to learn the Patronus Charm. But the devil is already here.

, then do we still need to simulate the scene where it has a scepter?"

This issue is very critical.

Yes, they all guessed that Professor Heimer might have encountered the same danger as Harry, so would they have to go through it completely again?

"Interesting question."

This answer did not amuse Harry at all. Fortunately, Professor Heimer changed his tone next: "Considering your current abilities and the difficulties you will encounter if you want to re-conquer the out-of-control devil, of course

It’s better not to do this. So you can rest assured that I will not let go of the ban on the devil. What you face is more armor-and me."

"Yes." Toby looked at the three people with strange expressions and smiled and said, "Of course there is me, and not only, but also your dear Professor Lupin."

Um?

The three heard Professor Heimer continue to say: "I am responsible for teaching you more knowledge related to the devil, and Professor Lupine is responsible for the Patronus. After you have learned enough, you can find a way to summon Harry."

The real devil replaces the mysterious man's soul."

"Is the devil a soul?" Harry asked.

"It's hard to say." Toby shook his head: "The knowledge about the soul is very complicated. Patronus, devils, Animagus, and ghosts may all be called part of the soul. Even your wand can be

Being included - unique, currently all we know is that each person’s soul is unique, and the true nature will take time to study.”

Just like the material of the magic ball.

Toby added silently in his heart - these are all unique.

"Okay, kids."

He let the armor walk in front of him and said: "Watch carefully next. Not everyone has the opportunity to see the real devil. This is much more interesting than the runes summoned by Harry."

The scene he saw next was something that Harry couldn't describe. He thought it was no big deal, after all, he had already learned about demons, but he found that he still underestimated Professor Highmore.

It was also the first time he truly understood the meaning of the devil.

"Harry, Harry, stop being dazed."

At Ron's reminder, Harry came to his senses in a panic and found Professor Lupine looking at him with a smile.

"It seems that I am really not as good as Toby, an old employee. It's really jealous. He only joined the job two years before me - can you tell me what you learned in his class?

"

It's already a few days later.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione came to Lupine's shabby office at the agreed time to receive instruction related to the Patronus.

"What's wrong?" Lupine looked at the three people who said nothing and asked, "Did Toby ask you to keep it a secret?"

"No, Professor." Hermione said first.

In fact, Professor Heimer did ask them to keep the Horcrux a secret, and they were not allowed to tell anyone, including Professor Lupine.

But that special class was not included.

"We." Hermione had a very strange expression on her face: "We saw the devil with our own eyes."

"Are you referring to Toby's teaching materials in class?" Lupine said gently: "I have seen it too, and it is indeed stranger than the Boggart looks like."

However, the performance of the three people was still a little abnormal.

"I said -" Lu Ping frowned a little bit: "What you saw was not the thing that Obscurus turned into, right?"

"Not only that, Professor." Ron said with sadness: "Professor Heimer has also become a devil. To this day, we can't be sure whether it was an illusion or not - I mean, we were deceived before.

I've done it several times, but this time I can't be sure."

Lupine looked serious.

"Then did he hurt you?" he asked.

"That's not true." Hermione shook her head and said, "Professor Hemmer looks much more stable than his classroom equipment, and even calmer than usual. It makes people feel panicked——"

"Cold." Harry said abruptly: "Professor Heimer seems to have become very cold and indifferent. I really don't want to see that look in my eyes again."

Lu Ping was silent for a while, and he sighed and said: "Ancient magic is really - forget it, I think this is why he asked me for help. I must help you get rid of this emotion as soon as possible -

—Would you like a piece of chocolate?"

"I am willing." Ron muttered, feeling a little chilly in his heart. He really didn't want to recall the scene of dealing with the devil, which gave him nightmares for several nights in a row.

After eating the chocolate, although the terrifying impression was not reduced much, at least the atmosphere was no longer so heavy - especially Hermione, who couldn't wait to learn the Patronus Charm.

"But is your health okay?" She asked, looking at Lu Ping's pale face. Compared with other professors, Lu Ping was shabby. In addition, his complexion was not very good, which made him look a little uncomfortable.

Too normal and incompatible with Hogwarts.

"It's been fine lately." Lupine said with a smile: "With the help of Professor Snape - oh, your expressions are really bad. Is there anything I don't know?"

"Snape." Ron thought of being imprisoned and said angrily: "Except for Slytherin students, almost no one likes him."

Hermione quickly stopped Ron from continuing with her eyes. It was not a wise move to belittle one professor in front of another.

"I understand." Lupine looked at Ron, and then focused on Harry who was very unnatural. There was no doubt that Harry also disliked Snape.

"Fortunately, Professor Hemmer is here." Harry murmured softly: "Otherwise, what might have happened - have you known them before?"

"Yes." Lupine looked directly into Harry's eyes and said, "I know them, I have known them since we were in school. You are not surprised at all that Toby was able to subdue Professor Snape, are you?"

"Of course." Ron started yelling again: "That's the devil. Professor Hemmer has become a devil. How can there be people he can't solve?"

"I don't think the principal will agree with this sentence."

Lupine didn't mean to accuse, but Ron's ears were still red.

"Let's start the lesson." He said: "Do you know what a patronus is?"

"I know!" Hermione was the first to raise her hand and said: "The Patronus is a positive force, an external manifestation of the things that Dementors rely on for survival - hope, happiness, and the desire to survive.

The nemesis of dementors, this knowledge was taught to us by Professor Heimer in the second grade. There is also a student who has successfully summoned the patron saint, and he is the only one."

Lu Ping asked in surprise: "Who is it?"

"Luna Lovegood." Hermione said with envy: "She is really amazing. She was just a freshman at that time and she beat all the students. Is this rare, Professor?"

"Of course it's rare." Lupine said with interest: "Did she learn the Patronus Charm in an ancient magic class? Was it also taught to her by Toby?"

Hermione nodded vigorously.

"It's really amazing." Lu Ping sighed and suddenly became silent.

After exchanging glances, Harry asked doubtfully: "Professor?"

"Ah." Lupine came back to his senses and said: "I just remembered some things, which have nothing to do with this class - now it's time to officially start the class. Patron Saint, can you tell me how Toby taught you?

? It also gives me a comparison."

The three people immediately recounted all the lessons from the previous semester, which also included the test of the fire ball, and the amusing armor and skulls later on, which made the expression on Lupine's face become weird little by little.

"The style is remarkable." He commented: "Other than Toby, I can't think of anyone else who has done this. However, my course may be somewhat similar to his."

It happened that at this moment, there was a banging sound in the cabinet in the corner of the office, and the three of them had long noticed that there was something there.

"Is it a Boggart?"

Hermione took a rare step back and looked a little panicked. Ron was too frightened to move.

They have all seen their own Boggarts, one is Professor McGonagall who declares he has failed the exam, and the other is a huge spider who scared them all during class.

Curiosity was the only thing written on Harry's face. He was unable to see the Boggart that appeared in front of him. Later, there were no more Boggarts in the class, which made him depressed for a short time -

What could it be? Can the devil be used to deal with it?

"You guessed it right."

At this time, Lupine had unabashedly set his sights on Harry. He said: "I hope you can understand that it is not that I am deliberately neglecting you, Harry, but that I do not want the mysterious person to appear in the classroom."

Inside - it's very out of place at this time."

"I don't think so." Harry said suddenly, and quickly added the title: "Professor, I mean, I don't think the Boggart who appears in front of me will become a mysterious person, it can only be someone else.

what."

Ron and Hermione were both staring at him. Lupine shook his head and said, "You don't have to say that. According to Toby's request, you don't really need to learn the Patronus Charm. Harry, Ron and Hermione will do it."

Min is more impatient than you. Moreover, I have also seen your devil on the train. Don't be surprised, Toby told me this, and it is indeed impressive and will never be forgotten."

Of course, I couldn't forget it. It was rare to see a rune snake that could drive away dementors, especially the one that looked very much like the extremely stable Obscurus, with its whole body made of black glue paint smoke.

Harry could only listen to Professor Lupine. The sequence of lessons for this tutoring session had already been arranged - it was the same even with Professor Hemmer. Ron and Hermione did not need to learn how to summon the devil, they only needed to learn how to summon the devil.

Memorize everything that needs to be memorized. Harry is the only one who really needs to deal with Professor Hemmer.

The current lesson is just the other way around.

Harry sat alone in the corner of the office to avoid disturbing the Boggart.

Next, he saw Ron standing motionless in front of the spider again, and was completely frightened. Fortunately, Hermione performed well. She at least recited the spell accurately to the angry Professor McGonagall.

It's a pity that it was pronounced "funny" instead of "calling for God's protection".

"Okay, you all need to take a good rest, immediately."

After taking lessons for a while, Lupine sent the two of them to sit in the corner of the office. They didn't seem to have much talent in this magic, and they had never succeeded once.

At this moment, Harry suddenly heard Professor Lupine turning to him and saying, "Want to give it a try?"

Harry was stunned.

"Of course, Professor!" He stood up immediately and said, "Don't worry even if you can't summon the patron saint, the devil is still there."

"This is not what I want to hear, Harry." Lupine said seriously: "Didn't Toby warn you not to summon devils casually, and never get trapped in the other side of ancient magic?

The deeper.”

"Professor Heimer said these words." Harry's tone was a little weaker.

"That's right." He said: "In fact, I have been worried about this. Fortunately, after listening to your stories, I know that Toby has not lost his mind. He knows how to teach correctly.

You guys. There is no doubt that the patron saint can withstand the bad influence of the devil on you. So I thought, if I have time, it would be okay to let you learn more. But you also have to remember, ha.

Li, no matter what you encounter for a while, you won't be able to summon the devil. I will help you block the Boggart at the critical moment."

Harry had no reason to refuse, and was somewhat grateful for Professor Lupin's kindness.

"Let's review it first. Do you still remember the spell?"

"Remember, Professor, he is a guardian of the gods."

"Very well, focus on the pleasant memories. I think this shouldn't be difficult for you. It's time to test Toby's educational achievements. Are you ready?"

Lupine grabbed the lid of the cargo box, and after receiving Harry's affirmative reply, he slammed the lid open.

The boggart couldn't wait to get out. It changed in the air, like a short whirlwind, and then in the blink of an eye, it turned into a person they all knew.

Not Voldemort.

Sirius rushed towards Harry like a desperado, his hair was messy, exactly like the photo on the wanted poster, and he roared loudly: "Finally, I finally deceived those idiots, now it's your turn, haha

Leigh Porter, go to hell with your parents!"

In front of the wand he raised, Harry stood motionless, completely frightened.
