Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 260 Lupine’s Divination

Harry and Cedric's method worked. A flame ball couldn't take care of the two people's flanking attack. With a little bit of skill, one person could guard the goal and the other could attract. It was very efficient.

Of course, it would be hard to say if there was one more person, but fortunately the kind-hearted Professor Heimer did not continue to increase the difficulty, and deliberately encouraged them after the two fell from the sky covered in sweat.

"You did a great job, both Gryffindor and Hufflepuff get ten points for this."

Harry wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he and Cedric looked at each other. At this time, the two seemed to have a good understanding, and he also saw similar thoughts to his own in Cedric's eyes - this was very

It didn't come easy.

"Today's training ends here." Toby didn't say much, but quickly announced: "I will notify you in advance when the next training starts. This will be helpful to you all."

After saying these words, Toby took Al and left, leaving the two exhausted students in a daze.

Is that it?

Harry thought in confusion. He didn't even explain clearly why he came to me. Is it because Cedric was present that it was difficult to tell? Could it be related to solving Voldemort's soul?

Thinking of this, Harry subconsciously summoned his own devil and spoke a parseltongue voice, which sounded very dark.

Cedric could no longer remain as calm as before. He hesitated and said, "What are you—?"

"Yes, that's right." Harry simply took the risk and said, "This is Parseltongue, a very evil magic. I learned it naturally. It must have shocked you, right?"

Cedric was really startled during the training just now, which couldn't be hidden from Harry's eyes. In order to pass the training smoothly, he even yelled at Cedric, otherwise he might have said more.

How long will it take to end.

"But aren't you a Gryffindor?" Cedric's idea was exactly what Harry expected. He asked doubtfully, "I remember that Parseltongue is clearly Slytherin's specialty."

Now Harry knows the reason, of course it has to do with Voldemort's soul left in his body. When he can't say these words to Cedric, there are many people who don't know about it and must keep it secret.

.

Seeing that Harry stopped talking and Cedric didn't continue to inquire further, Harry breathed a sigh of relief silently.

If it had been Draco, it definitely wouldn't have ended so easily.

"I think we should go have breakfast quickly." Cedric suggested: "Do you want to go together? Or do you plan to go back to the dormitory first?"

"Forget it, let's go together." Harry thought Ron would bring him textbooks.

The two of them walked out of the Room of Requirement together. People gradually appeared in the corridor, all of them yawning students.

"That Firebolt of yours—" Harry suddenly said, "was that given to you by Professor Highmore?"

"What?" Cedric was stunned for a moment. After Harry asked again, he came back to his senses and said, "Yeah, I really didn't expect that I would receive this gift, Professor Hemmer. It is indeed a bit too generous.

Recently, many people have been asking me how I can become Mr. Al's assistant, but I don't think the two things are connected."

Harry had already assumed that it was the broom given to him by Sirius, and the one he got was the previous prize.

Cedric continued: "Since you can also be a devil, let me tell you about it - do you know that I have always wanted to make an automatic magic wand?"

"Of course." Harry said, and Hermione was still mumbling in front of him and Ron for a long time about this. I heard that she had also started learning wand learning, but she never knew the progress.

It's probably not good, otherwise Hermione would have said it.

"That's it." Cedric continued: "That Firebolt should be regarded as an encouragement to me, or almost a teaching material. Look, didn't it come in handy today? I want to make it.

It's very difficult to auto-cast wands, and I'm still working on it, but the devil seems to be important in it."

Harry muttered in a low voice: "Then you shouldn't just give my gift to others."

"What?" Cedric didn't hear clearly: "Are you talking about your gift? I saw it, and it was also a Firebolt. It seems that this year's game will be interesting."

"This is Wood's last year at school." Harry looked at him and said, "We have to win the championship."

Cedric didn't engage in tit-for-tat with Harry. He just smiled and said, "We'll see you on the field then."

It made Harry feel like he was punching cotton.

They separated at the door of the Great Hall, and Harry walked towards the Gryffindor table. Not far away, he saw Ron and Hermione stretching their necks.

He walked over and asked, "Have you brought my textbooks?"

"They're all here." Ron patted his backpack and said, "But where have you been? I didn't see you when I woke up."

Harry described in a low voice what happened this morning, and both Ron and Hermione listened attentively - especially Hermione, who quickly asked a series of questions.

"The devil has something to do with the auto-casting wand?"

"Cedric has actually learned how to be a devil?"

"Training? Flame ball? Didn't you try using the Patronus Charm? Isn't that how we passed the exam last year?"

"Cedric didn't think of it either." Harry immediately defended: "Besides, I can't summon a Patronus yet. It's much more difficult than the devil."

"I agree." Ron asked, holding a piece of pie: "So now you have another training, Harry. Will you still go to Professor Lupin's place?"

Lupine has been teaching Ron and Hermione the Patronus Charm based on Toby's previous method, and Harry has been following along because Lupine believes that Toby's magic is dangerous and Harry must learn the Patronus Charm to use it.

protect yourself.

"Of course I'm going." Harry said seriously: "It's best to try the method you mentioned Hermione, so that I don't have to cooperate with Cedric."

The Firebolt that Sirius gave him still bothered him.

"Wait a minute." Hermione suddenly stared at them and said, "Do you think you should tell Professor Heimer about what happened last night?"

"Don't!" Harry said immediately.

"How is that possible?" Ron's reaction was much more intense: "What are you talking about with the professor? Is someone talking bad about him behind his back? I don't think that's anything worth revealing. And Harry, when the time comes, you plan to let Harry

What should I do? He still has a lot of problems to rely on Professor Heimer - by the way, and the Firebolt, which is even harder to talk about. I don't want to be involved in the conflict between these two people."

Harry's thoughts were similar to Ron's. This was different from many things before. There was a deep conflict between Sirius and Professor Highmore. If he really told Professor Highmore what happened last night, he would say no.

You will definitely see with your own eyes what it means to be even more Slytherin than Slytherin.

"Have you thought about it?" Hermione looked at them and said, "Do you still remember the consequences of hiding it from Professor Heimer before? Not once or twice, but many times, and every time it was terrible. I don't think the professor would

It’s all out of impulse. Don’t forget, he was the one who helped—helped that person escape guilt.”

She didn't dare to say Sirius's name in public.

Ron opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Hermione's suggestion was very necessary. After all, there were many lessons learned from the past, which made them suffer a lot. It also made them finally learn a truth - never provoke the Dark Devil, otherwise they will definitely regret it.

The two looked at Harry, silently waiting for him to make a decision.

Harry was silent for a long time. He suddenly put down the cup of pumpkin juice and said to them: "Follow me."

"Where are we going?" Ron immediately ran after them holding the pie, and Hermione followed them holding a heavy backpack.

Harry quickly walked up the stairs, found an empty classroom and got into it. It seemed that no formal classes had been held here for a long time, and everything was covered with dust, but it was just a good place to discuss what would happen next.

"Divination." After the two men chased them in, Harry looked at them and said, "I will use the divination method taught to us by Professor Hemmer, and everyone will have to try it."

"Just us?" Ron was surprised: "This is completely different from guessing the taste of beans!"

"But we can only give it a try, right?" Harry said, taking out the recorder and playing it in Parseltongue, silently waiting for the result.

The devil emerged from the recorder, and the three heads of the rune snake showed painful expressions.

"It doesn't look good." Hermione asked, "What is your question?"

Harry said with an ugly face: "What will happen if we don't tell Professor Heimer what happened last night?"

There was silence in the room for a while.

Hermione said abruptly: "It's my turn."

She took out the blue bellflower flame bottle and snapped her fingers. A flame immediately rose up in the bottle, but it was very weak and looked like it was about to go out.

"I'm asking what the consequences will be if nothing happens." Hermione frowned and said, "It seems that this method doesn't work either."

"It's my turn." Ron muttered and took out his sweater, looking reluctant. Everyone knew how difficult his "scepter" was, and he had to be taught a lesson before he could use it.

The sweater immediately looked like someone was wearing it, and what happened next shocked the three of them - it lightly patted Ron on the shoulder, looking very pleased.

"It didn't criticize you anymore?" Hermione was shocked: "What questions did you ask?"

Ron looked at the sweater with confused eyes and said: "It's the consequence of telling Professor Heimer - what does it mean? Could it be that it became so well-behaved because of the mention of Professor Heimer?"

Harry wasn't going to fool himself anymore.

"It seems we have to go find the professor." He said: "I hope Sirius is still safe and sound - I remember the professor once reminded us not to tell the news that Sirius is alive, otherwise he may really be dead by then.

It’s dangerous.”

All three of them know who the source of the danger is - it can only be Gellert Grindelwald.

It was he who took advantage of Peter Pettigrew, causing Sirius to be unjustly imprisoned and imprisoned for many years.

At the same time, in the ancient magic office.

"Remus?"

Toby looked at the visiting visitor in surprise and asked: "Why did you come to me? Is Severus not going to prepare wolfsbane potion for you? Don't worry, I will deduct his salary now!"

Lupine quickly grabbed Toby, and he asked doubtfully: "When did you have this kind of power? Is my salary the same?"

"There's also a bonus." Toby blinked and said, "How about it, are you interested? Study ancient magic with me. It's much safer than going on an adventure together."

"Let's forget it." Lupine shook his head and said, "You don't understand at all. It's not the expedition that's dangerous, but you, Toby. As long as we team up with you, nothing good will happen."

"What are you talking about?" Toby said impatiently, and Al also shouted: "Don't you see that Al is still alive and well? He has stayed with me much longer than you have."

"Actually, I have been doubting Al's identity." Lupine asked curiously: "What exactly is it? Is it really just a Niffler? I think if that's the case, then it will definitely not be able to survive.

Until now.”

"Let's talk about the reason why you came to see me." Toby's ability to change the subject was not very good, and he was simply extremely stiff.

Lupine glanced at Al helplessly, and he could only say: "I tried the divination method you taught the students in class last night."

"Oh?" Toby asked with interest: "You also said you don't want to learn ancient magic? What did you divine? What was the result?"

"Just giving it a try." Lupine showed great resistance to Toby's kindness, and then he continued: "What else could it be - didn't you give me a fortune telling once before? You said I would know it when the moon is full.

The danger is also related to the curse received in this course."

"Then what?" Toby asked with a strange look in his eyes.

"Why do you look at me like that?" Lu Ping said curiously: "Don't you want to know the reason at all? You don't seem to have mentioned it much since the last training."

"Because I'm very busy." Toby said, "I'm so busy that I really can't spare any time. I didn't even sleep last night just to make a student feel bad after staying up late - this is terrible.

It’s really hard, how could there be such a kind person, I want to dig out his brain and take a look.”

"Don't say these things in front of the principal." Lupine said expressionlessly: "As for the divination, it did have results - you must not have imagined what I saw - Sirius Black."

He stared directly at Toby and asked: "I saw Sirius Black. Why do you think it was because of it? Is it related to his body? Should I not go to the celebration?"

Toby blinked.

Just for a moment, there was a knocking sound outside the door.

"Professor?" Harry's voice sounded from behind the door: "I have something to tell you. Are you in the office?"
