Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 281 Unsolvable Trouble

The result was a bit bad, and Dumbledore's worries came true - Harry's devilish talent did not come from Voldemort, but from himself.

Harry was taken out of the Mason Gate by Professor Heimer almost as if in a dream. They returned to the office together. When Toby took off his helmet, Harry was still in a daze, looking like he couldn't hear anything.

Toby patted his body hard, and a layer of black dust fell from his body. It almost piled up into a small mound, and then gathered together, changing back to the devil's appearance. He immediately pressed him back into the armor, and at the same time he also

Blocked the devil's unwilling roar.

The devil was imprisoned again, and then Toby had the time to check on Harry's condition.

"Did you hit your head when you came out?"

He stretched out his palm and waved it back and forth in front of Harry's eyes, but Harry didn't react at all.

Toby thought for a few seconds, and then he suddenly shouted: "Have you finished your homework?!"

"I'm done writing, Professor!" Harry came to his senses immediately, and he stuttered: "It's in the dormitory, do you want me to bring it over now?"

Harry saw Professor Heimer looking at him with a smile, and he immediately recalled everything that had just happened, as well as what Professor Heimer had said to him not long ago -

"Are you interested in joining Slytherin?"

"That will lead you to glory."

This was exactly what the Sorting Hat said to him.

Originally, Harry had already found a reason for the Sorting Hat's wrong judgment - so how could it be because of himself? In fact, it was all because of Voldemort's influence, which caused some things in his mind that did not belong to him.

but now

Everything has changed now.

"Professor, I." Harry said pitifully, "What's wrong with me?"

"What's wrong?" Toby smiled even more happily: "Why ask you what's wrong? Aren't you supposed to be happy? Not everyone has such a clear opportunity to recognize themselves - you can't deceive yourself, this is still

My wand church gave it to me."

"Okay, you sit down first."

Harry saw Professor Heimer wave his hand slightly, and then he was pushed to the sofa by a gentle force, while a glass of lemonade was conjured in front of him.

Toby first ordered the armor to return to his original hiding place, and then asked Al if anything happened during this time.

"Has Malfoy been here? Forget it, he should have gone to find Severus, don't worry about him - listen to me, Harry."

Toby sat opposite Harry. He also conjured a glass of lemonade for himself. After taking a sip, he said: "First of all, I have to explain to you what happened before. It's actually very simple.

, it can be said clearly in one sentence - that is to ensure whether the method of using the devil to deal with the mysterious man is effective."

"Before this, I told you that you accidentally became one of the mysterious man's Horcruxes. He left a broken soul in your body, which will greatly affect you, including you.

The devil - the origin of the rune snake, may have been caused by a mysterious person."

"But now we know the answer - your devil has nothing to do with You-Know-Who, which is good news and bad news - well, it's not that bad, and it's never a bad thing to have a chance to see who you are.

Just like me, I will never deny that studying ancient magic is harmful. In many cases, it is more dangerous than studying black magic. But there is nothing I can do about it. I think I need to do this. Ideal, you can understand the ideal

What's the point, Harry?"

Harry still can't fully understand what Professor Heimer said. All he can do is know it, but he really doesn't understand how important the ideals mentioned by Professor Heimer are.

"That's heavier than life." Toby said slowly: "I think Mr. Diggory thinks so too."

Harry knew how paranoid Cedric was about the idea of ​​making a self-casting wand, but he didn't expect to receive such comments about him from Professor Hemmer.

"The topic has gone a bit far." Toby said after taking another sip of lemonade: "Wouldn't you drink some too? That will help you calm down."

Professor Heimer was right. Harry was shocked after trying it. He looked at the cup in his hand in surprise, and then took a sip, his mind became much clearer.

"A little bit of seasoning." Toby pinched his fingers and rubbed them back and forth twice. He said with a smile: "It's a recipe I got from an old wizard. Maybe it was in Africa or the Amazon rainforest. Some

Forget—but, let’s get back to the current problem—since your devil has nothing to do with You-Know-Who, things will be much easier to handle.”

"Before this, I have also thought about what to do if your devil really comes from the mysterious man. If you use the devil of the mysterious man to deal with the mysterious man, this method will definitely be more effective.

At a discount - but it's different now, you can completely use your own power to deal with him."

"Pure, the power that belongs only to you."

Harry was gradually drawn in, and his thoughts changed from his own evil to a better word, and more charming one - power.

"Then what should I do, Professor?" Harry asked in fascination.

But Toby suddenly stopped talking at this moment.

"Before that, what I want to ask you is, are you sure you are ready to pay the price for this?"

Professor Heimer's words were more effective than 10,000 glasses of lemonade. Harry immediately came to his senses - yes, this is Professor Heimer's ancient magic. How can it be said to be safe?

But Harry really didn't feel like he had any choice.

He is one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, and sooner or later he will encounter Voldemort.

But Toby seemed to be in an extremely complicated state of mind. He saw conative thoughts in Harry's eyes, and then he said something to make Harry refuse: "What I have to tell you is that if you really

If you agree, then you must keep this secret and not tell anyone."

Harry was surprised: "Can't anyone? Even Hermione and Ron know about the Horcruxes, and they are also trying to help me learn the Patronus Charm. Even they can't do it?"

"It's not just them." Toby looked directly into Harry's eyes and said, "I'm talking about anyone. Even if Principal Dumbledore asks, you can't tell anyone, nothing."

Harry was stunned.

This was the first time that he saw Professor Heimer asking him to keep secrets so seriously. The key point was that he could feel that Hermione and Ron were nothing at all, and only Principal Dumbledore was the reason for Professor Heimer's scruples.

"me."

Harry suddenly didn't know what to decide. The price seemed to be higher than he thought.

However, Toby put down the empty cup and said easily: "It doesn't matter. You can think it through before making a decision. I think the principal should also have a way to help you. I'm not the only choice.

Is not it?"

"You just need to remember one thing." Toby added at the end: "Don't tell anyone about this, it must be kept secret."

Harry nodded blankly. He even forgot to put down the cup in his hand until Al quickly reminded him.

"Sorry, Mr. Al, I"

Harry glanced at the back of Professor Heimer, who was already standing by the window, looking out at the snowy sky. He covered the collar of his wizard robe and left the Ancient Magic Office with a heavy heart.

After the door closed again, Toby said to himself in a voice that almost no one could hear: "If Lily is still alive, she will definitely hate me for letting Harry embark on the most dangerous path of ancient magic."

"It's a pity that magic can't bring people back to life. It's better to leave the opportunity of choice to the living. I don't think Lily wants her child to be destined to die."

Al quietly packed up the Mason door and swept away the dust that fell from the door.

"Knock knock knock."

There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Toby turned around strangely. He thought Harry had made a decision so quickly, but he didn't expect that the person who walked in would be Remus Lupin, followed by a disappointed Malfoy.

He was holding a hot cup in his hand, and the contents smelled like hot chocolate.

"So you are in the office."

Lupine said angrily as soon as he came up: "Then why did you just drive Draco away? I clearly remember that you are also from Slytherin House."

"What?" Toby turned his head and glanced at Draco. Al had told him that Draco had come once, but why didn't he go to Severus? Instead, he asked Lupin - Lupin was

Are you trying to help Draco?

This is really strange.

"Have you seen Draco's works?" Lupine asked again.

"No." Toby was not in a hurry, he said slowly: "Is it a magic array item? It's not too late to take a look now, let's bring it over."

Draco glanced at Lupine, and after Lupine nodded, he took out the carefully prepared sheep-eating balls from his pocket, placed them on the table, and then briefly explained the function of the sheep-eating balls - now it can help wizards

Get rid of the extra tail of the swallow-tailed dog.

"Sounds good." Toby said with interest: "What else? Can other magical animals be changed? Wizards have the habit of keeping pets. Let me think about owls, toads, these are all

There’s no difference, but the cat nives are still very different. The tail is like a lion’s tail, and the ears are a little big. Can it change the appearance of the cat nives?”

"Not yet." Draco shook his head, but he quickly added: "It won't take long. As long as you try a few more times, you should be able to do it."

Toby did not expose Draco's guilty conscience written on his face. He nodded and said, "Very good, let's wait and see when you can do it."

The situation became better in Draco's eyes. He took back the sheep-eating ball and turned to leave, only to find that Lupine had not come to the point.

"You go first, Professor Heimer and I still have some things to discuss." Lupine said with a smile.

After Draco left, Toby immediately put on a strange look. He stared at Lupine and said in wonder: "If I'm not mistaken, you are helping Malfoy cheat, right? It's really unimaginable.

It turned out to be something you did."

"I said -" Lupine said calmly: "I want to try to help Harry. Now this method has worked, hasn't it? Draco put all his thoughts on your assessment.

In this way, he won't be able to trouble Harry anymore. Moreover, I can also help a student who has gone astray to find his way back. Unlike you, he has a chance to change, instead of being trapped.

Deeper and deeper.”

"Come on." Toby waved his hand impatiently and said, "Having one Principal Dumbledore is enough - or do you suddenly want to be the principal? I really didn't see it."

"The premise is that the trouble hidden in me must be solved first." Lu Ping said helplessly: "Although I really don't want to mention this matter again, is your professor training over like this? My previous prediction should be over again.

How to explain it? Sirius, he. Why did he appear in my prophecy? "

Lupine didn't know that Sirius was still alive.

In Toby's confession to Dumbledore, he once said that he had hidden an important memory in a block of ice that would never melt, and that the humanoid devil was the only key.

But at the time and place where this memory occurred, there was another person present - that was Lupine when he was in school.

That memory was related to Lupine who turned into a werewolf and almost killed Snape. Fortunately, Toby rescued Snape in time and faced the werewolf alone, making Lupine a witness to that memory.

.

The professor's training was just an excuse for Toby to test whether Lupine still remembered that memory, and he had already tested it once before - that was the adventure in the snowy mountains, when Toby and Lupine teamed up to explore ancient ruins.

Al hasn't shown up yet.

"Professor training." Toby was a little confused by the question.

Al was hiding behind Lupine, quietly gesturing to him.

"How's it going?" Lu Ping couldn't wait any longer. He asked eagerly: "Have you discovered anything new? Whether it's a prophecy or something else."

"Actually," Toby suddenly thought of an idea. He pushed his hair back and said with a big smile: "It really does exist, and the method is very simple - do you remember the prophecy we divined at your house?

The crisis will happen when you turn into a werewolf——"

"Wait a minute!" Lupine suddenly interrupted seriously: "Don't tell me that you plan to monitor my transformation process. Although Snape will help me prepare the Wolfsbane potion, it is not without risks."

"Then there's nothing we can do." Toby looked helpless, as if he was regretting that he couldn't study werewolves.

But at this moment, Toby's tone suddenly changed, and he said mysteriously: "But don't you want to know what the prophecy will be after you transform into a werewolf?"

Lu Ping looked at him in surprise: "Are you saying that the prophecy will change because of this kind of thing?"

Toby nodded with certainty: "This is the magic of ancient magic. Let alone a werewolf, no matter how bad you become, it will be deeply affected - it is everywhere."

After saying these words, Toby could see that——

Lupine began to hesitate.
