Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 256 Harry Potter and Dumbledore

Harry felt like he was dreaming.

No one knew what the criteria for this teacher recognition ceremony were, and no one knew how the principal selected students to teach professors, but Harry still didn't expect that such a thing would happen to him - and he even taught the principal.

!

Is there anything more ridiculous than this?

As early as the very beginning, Harry and Ron discovered that Hermione was actually the first batch of students selected, and she was still teaching Professor McGonagall.

They laughed about this for a long time, playing chess in the common room while waiting for Hermione to come back from the Transfiguration office, no matter how late it was - they really wanted to know how Hermione gave Professor McGonagall

It's time for class.

When Hermione came back before curfew, she saw these two people grinning at her.

But she didn't look angry at all. Instead, she said with a haughty look: "I think you should know that Dean McGonagall is much kinder than you seem."

"By your standards." Ron said abruptly, making Harry's grin widen.

"It's up to you." Hermione said in the same tone: "Transfiguration also has many interesting aspects, and Dean McGonagall is very willing to discuss magic circles and ritual magic with me - these are new to all wizards -

—And the five-legged monsters—I heard Professor Heimer talk about the five-legged monsters more than once in class, but I didn’t expect that Dean McGonagall knew more."

Hermione was very satisfied to see the expressions she wanted on Ron and Harry's faces.

"Unless you admit your mistake to me obediently, otherwise——"

"sorry!"

Before Hermione could finish her words proudly, Ron immediately raised his hands in surrender and said, "Let's talk about the five-legged monster now. What does Dean McGonagall know? Has she ever seen a five-legged monster with her own eyes?"

Hermione glared at him angrily, and then said reluctantly: "You are right, Dean McGonagall has seen the five-legged monster, but it was a long time ago, and it was still when the dean was at the Ministry of Magic.

During the work period - but don't think about it, how could the dean tell me the specific location? The entire island has been cast an unmarkable spell, and it can only be found by a very special method - of course, this method

Maybe only the Ministry of Magic has it."

"It's unbelievable." Ron said, "The Headmaster actually worked in the Ministry of Magic?"

Harry looked at him in confusion: "Isn't it more shocking that the dean has seen the five-legged monster with his own eyes?"

At this time, Hermione raised her eyebrows and said: "There is one more thing that is more amazing than these two combined - Harry -"

When Harry heard his name, he shivered inexplicably. He couldn't tell how much of it was due to excitement - could he also have the opportunity to teach the professor? Who could it be?

However, he only wanted to be half right.

"It's Headmaster Dumbledore."

The only sound in the common room was the sound of burning firewood.

"What?" Ron widened his eyes and said, "You mean, Harry is going to teach the principal? When was the principal elected? Wasn't he absent last time?"

There was indeed no option to vote for the principal at the last teacher recognition meeting.

"That shouldn't be the point, right?" Hermione looked at Ron with the same look Harry showed a few minutes ago and said, "Don't you understand? Harry is going to give a lesson to the headmaster? That's Albus Dumbledore.

What a profit!"

"Oh, right - wait." Ron frowned again: "Are you telling the truth? What other lessons does the principal need?"

"But the professor doesn't need it either." Hermione said, "Although I don't know very well, this is definitely a rare opportunity."

"What chance?" Ron asked.

"Sirius." Hermione lowered her voice and said, "Do you remember the guess we made not long ago, that is, the time Sirius' Animagus appeared in Hogwarts - at that time we were not guessing the principal.

Did you get him back? Now you finally have the chance to ask him yourself, Harry."

"That's true." Ron agreed: "In case your devil accidentally gets out of control again, although it is related to the mysterious man, Sirius is also related to some extent - haven't you been worried about him, Harry, ha

profit?"

Ever since Harry heard Dumbledore's name, his head had been buzzing, and he probably didn't even hear the conversation between the two.

He asked confusedly: "I'm going to teach the principal? But what else can I teach him?"

Ron and Hermione exchanged a look, then both looked at Harry and said -

"Professor Heimer's ancient magic, this is a bit uncertain. After all, Heimer has known him for a long time, and maybe he knows almost everything. But the devil - Harry, I think the headmaster doesn't know the devil.

?”

"If you can really accomplish this, then not only Professor Heimer can help you, but the principal may also be able to help you. He is the most powerful wizard."

Help refers to the hidden danger left by Voldemort in Harry's body, that is, the Horcrux. Now they are doing it according to Professor Hemmer's method - learning the devil and the Patronus at the same time, and then summoning Harry's own devil

, replacing Voldemort's soul in his body.

Although they don't know what the relationship between devils and souls is, and they don't know whether this method is really effective, it's not their turn to think about this problem yet - because Ron and Hermione are still stuck in the first step, and even the Guardian

God cannot be summoned.

As for Harry, he does not need to learn the Patronus Charm to summon the devil (although it is still Voldemort's, but at least the magic has been learned. However, Professor Hemmer's recent courses have become more and more difficult. If you want to listen

It's hard to understand, let alone facing the humanoid devil in the armor personally, and Professor Heimer who doesn't know whether he has really turned into a devil.

Especially the latter, which brought unimaginable pressure to the three of them. They always couldn't help but feel that one day the other party would make up an excuse and give them a lesson, or they might be imprisoned or something. Now everyone

The students all felt that this should be Professor Heimer's hobby. It was indeed different from ordinary people, but it matched Professor Heimer very well.

Harry listened to what the two said.

One is to ask about Sirius's whereabouts.

The other one is the devil.

He didn't have much psychological burden about teaching the principal about devil's magic, because this should be something the principal knew, and it was unlikely that Professor Heimer could hide it from the principal.

This is indeed true.

But in the first unique identity swap class, Principal Dumbledore still looked at the devil for so long that no resentment could arise in Harry's heart.

By the way, since knowing that Sirius was innocent, Harry transferred this targeted resentment to Peter Pettigrew and Grindelwald.

Surprisingly, this made the runes more real. It was unclear whether it was because of the accuracy of the reason for the resentment, or whether Voldemort was influencing Harry more and more deeply.

"Sorry, Harry."

After noticing Harry's strangeness, Dumbledore waved his wand and made Harry fall down on the soft sofa chair: "I ignored your feelings for the moment - but I have to say, even if I know it's not

Your devil, but still amazing – how do you feel now?”

"A little tired." Harry gasped, feeling exhausted, as if he had just finished Quidditch training and all the magic in his body had been drained.

"Are you just tired?"

Dumbledore asked: "Those resentments - what do you think of those emotions?"

Harry was silent for a while, and then said: "I can't forget these things, Headmaster, I can't accept the way the Ministry of Magic dealt with Peter Pettigrew, and Grindelwald-" He seemed to be giving up.

Said: "I really don't understand why it has taken so long and no one can find out the truth. Isn't he in Nurmengard?"

Dumbledore stared at Harry silently. Now all those resentments appeared in Harry's sight, even more clearly than when he summoned the devil before.

He could see that Harry had complaints against him. Like many people, he thought that he should not let Grindelwald live, but should kill him in a duel.

Finally, he said: "Many times, the development of things will always exceed our expectations, no one is exception, Harry, not even me."

Harry seemed to realize that his attitude just now was not very good, which made the expression on his face become a little embarrassed.

But Dumbledore did not let this awkward atmosphere continue. Instead, he smiled and said: "So, is it time to start class now? I haven't had this experience for a long time."

Harry asked in surprise: "Do you really want to learn about devils?"

"Yes." Dumbledore's tone was still relaxed, as if he was talking about something that was no big deal: "I also want to know what will happen to me when I wake up in the middle of the night and can't eat the chocolate frog in time.

What a devil I have become inside."

Harry laughed, and then immediately realized that this was actually a matter of privacy. Since the appearance of the Patronus was a secret, so should the devil.

In the following class, Harry could not impart much knowledge. He could only talk about some of his experiences and feelings about learning about demons. He hesitated for a while because he remembered that during the summer vacation, Professor Hemmer

He was clearly told not to leave the Room of Requirement because this was done without telling the principal.

But now, Harry obviously doesn't need to worry about this problem. After all, the headmaster even knows his own devil. He must be fully aware of what Professor Hemmer has done.

Moreover, Harry also learned from Dumbledore the principal's trust in Professor Hemmer.

"As for the Horcruxes, I'll just follow Toby's method for the time being. I believe he won't leave his students' safety unattended. And he does know more about these ancient magics than I do."

This was already a high praise, and Harry didn't expect to hear such words from the principal.

Before the end of this special class, Harry did not forget to ask about Sirius.

"He still has something to be busy with." Dumbledore did not fully disclose the fact that Sirius was looking for Regulus, but only said to Harry: "It is a very important thing. If everything goes well, we will wait for a while."

, you should be able to see it above."

This at least proves that Sirius is fine.

Harry thought hopefully.

So, the first class ended like this.

As soon as Harry returned to the common room, he was pulled away by Ron and Hermione, who couldn't wait to hear Harry's experience.

".That's it." Harry told the whole story carefully.

"The headmaster actually wants to learn about demons?" Ron looked as surprised as Harry when he first heard the news: "What will he summon? Can you imagine?"

Hermione complained: "How can you agree, Harry? Have you forgotten what Professor Hemmer taught us? That is a very dangerous magic. What should we do if it affects the principal? His troubles have already been solved

Enough."

Worrying?

Harry immediately realized that this was the Ariana incident that caused a lot of fuss before.

"It shouldn't matter, right?" He said with some uncertainty: "There is no other soul in the principal's body, so who can affect him?"

Hermione couldn't answer. After a while, she said in surprise: "No, have you ever thought that if the principal really wants to learn about demons, why doesn't he go directly to Professor Hemmer?"

"Maybe it's just because the principal doesn't want this class to become too embarrassing." After saying this, Ron also realized that something was wrong: "But if that's the case, the principal doesn't need to call Harry over at all.

Ah. What is going on?"

Harry's original good mood was completely ruined by these two people, and it lasted until the next special class started.

He also couldn't understand why President Dumbledore didn't go to Professor Highmore directly? Could it be that Professor Highmore would refuse?

It didn't take long for Harry to get a note from an unexpected person indicating the start time of the next class.

"Potter." Malfoy said maliciously, "Look at you, the famous Harry Potter is now qualified to teach the principal. This is simply the funniest joke I have ever heard."

"Give it to me." Harry grabbed the note and said, "You have the nerve to go see Professor Lupin. Just wait. Everyone knows that you, the minister, only have up to half a year left. Let's see if you can still smile by then.

Gotta come out.”

Whether it was Malfoy giving lessons to Lupine or the prediction of changes in the Ministry of Magic Club, it had already reached the ears of Harry and others. Especially the latter matter, there was no need to even guess, there was no way Malfoy could win.

Luna, this is a fact that everyone knows.

Draco narrowed his eyes, and just when Harry thought he was going to say something harsh, he left with a look of contempt on his face.

"It seems that he has completely panicked." Ron on the side said: "I don't even know what to say. I'm not surprised at all. In the end, you won't need to be more embarrassed, right?

"

"Of course." Harry nodded and opened the note: "At eight o'clock in the evening, still in the principal's office."

Ron leaned his head and said: "Have you figured out how to ask the principal? Why doesn't he go to Professor Hemmer to learn about demons, but he has to learn from you?"

Harry remained silent and didn't speak.

At night, as he walked through the spiral staircase, all he could think about was Ron's question - yes, why?

Is it because you don’t want Professor Heimer to know? Or is there any other reason?

"Please come in."

After Harry knocked nervously on the oak door, Dumbledore's voice came from inside the room.

The wooden door was pushed open, and Harry saw Dumbledore sitting behind his desk, looking at him with a smile.

"What surprise did you bring me again today, Harry?"
