Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 292 Celebration

Hogsmeade.

Snowflakes fell from the foggy sky, crossed the roofs of rows of houses, circled, and gently floated on a pair of glasses.

"Hurry up, Harry, you won't be able to catch up with the play any longer," Ron urged, turning his head.

Harry took off his glasses and wiped them carefully before putting them back on. Hermione, who couldn't wait for a long time, quickly dragged him down the street and said as she ran, "Hey, why are you taking so long? I'll be there later."

There will definitely be a lot of people, do you still expect me to go to Mr. Scamander to ask for an autograph during the dinner? It is very rude to disturb others while they are dining."

"Slow down." Harry held his crooked glasses and said in a panic: "If I had known better, I would have brought the broom here. Even if you are not good at riding, you can let the two of us take you. You can choose anyone."

"

Hermione actually stopped and looked at the two of them carefully for a while, leaving Ron stunned.

"Forget it." Hermione pouted and said, "I would rather ride on Mr. Al's flying carpet than let you two take me on an adventure."

"Look what you said." Ron muttered dissatisfiedly, he quickened his pace and started running with them in a muffled voice.

At the end of the street is a unique square. In the center of the square stands a statue of the man named Hangis of Woodcroft. He was a medieval wizard who worked in Hog

Watts went to school and was sorted into Hufflepuff House.

At the same time, he was also the founder of Hogsmeade, so people not only built this square as a memorial to him, but also made him appear on the chocolate frog picture.

Now, a tent dozens of feet high appeared in front of the statue of Hangis. It didn't look big, it looked a little old, and it looked like it had been prepared too hastily.

Two people walked out of the tent one after another. The one in front was Dumbledore, and behind him was an energetic old man, with the drowsy Bowtruckle lying on his shoulders.

He was dancing fiercely and said: "Why couldn't you tell me in advance? If I knew there was a werewolf there, I would have made more preparations so that I wouldn't be so embarrassed, but why didn't you tell me in advance?"

It turns out that Newt Scamander is the person Dumbledore said he would track down Sirius. In the end, he was found by him. Unfortunately, it happened to be a full moon that night, and the real Lupin was trapped in his house again.

, so the result is self-evident and is undoubtedly very bad.

Mr. Newt went to great lengths to hide the movements. For this reason, his suitcase was scratched and covered with claw marks, and he didn't know how to explain it to his wife - he had already promised to Ti

Na, I have decided to retire early, and from now on I will only focus on recalling and completing "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".

That means writing a book.

"Because I don't know about it either." Dumbledore walked far away from the tent and explained with a headache: "The specific process is very complicated. Even I don't know the whole story. He is still hiding it.

I, Newt, have a lot of things being hidden from me."

"No way?" Newt said with wide eyes: "Although I have never met him, I always thought that the person he trusted the most was you."

"Yes." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "It was true before, but it is no longer true."

Newt opened his mouth, and suddenly he picked up the suitcase at hand and started to run, but was immediately grabbed tightly by Dumbledore.

"Let go." Newt struggled twice, but he didn't let go.

"Damn it, why are you so strong?" He looked at Dumbledore's gray hair and said, "Am I the only one who is getting old? Are you secretly taking the elixir?"

"I have never been afraid of death." Dumbledore said gently: "But where are you going?"

"Where else could it be?" Newt said decisively: "Of course you need to find a place to live in seclusion first. I know what good things your student has done. Some of my former friends have told me. Now

Since you can't control him, of course I have to run away first, in case he has his mind set on my baby——"

"Does Tina have any special talents?" Dumbledore asked doubtfully: "Or is there something unusual about your son or grandson? Have they been exposed to ancient magic?"

"It's not them." Newt said angrily, "It's the pets I keep at home. There's a whole basement there."

"It's really an easy-to-understand description." Dumbledore said with a smile. He suddenly reminded: "Be polite, my old friend. If I guess correctly, Miss Granger will be arriving soon. I

I don’t think she can bear to be disappointed again.”

"Who?" Newt asked confusedly. The suitcase in his hand clicked twice, which made him immediately bend down and approach the mouth of the suitcase and whisper: "Not now, don't rush out, it's not time yet."

When you have fun, we have agreed in advance that you have to wait until the dinner is over."

After the box regained its calmness, Newt looked up and saw a pair of enlarged and shining eyes right in front of him. He was so frightened that he almost fell back.

Hermione's face turned red because of excitement. Of course, it might also be because she was frozen. She held a copy of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" that she had read countless times in her hands and said, "Is it really you? Oh my god.

, I really don’t know how to describe my current mood——”

"Just say you want autographs." Ron muttered in a low voice. He stretched his neck and looked in the direction of the tent door, doubting whether it could hold so many people.

Harry on the side was greeting Dumbledore, looking a little reserved.

"What are the results of the examination?" Dumbledore asked in a gentle tone, "Did Madam Pomfrey say anything?"

"No." Harry shook his head in confusion: "Nothing, Headmaster."

This matter starts from that full moon night.

Ever since Professor Highmore suddenly appeared in the Gryffindor common room and asked them to close their eyes, Dumbledore, who hurried back, immediately admitted the three of them to the school hospital and arranged for Madam Pomfrey to come in from there.

They were inspected carefully outside.

Nothing happened, and Harry never understood why the headmaster made such an arrangement.

Professor Heimer obviously seemed to be more seriously injured. He almost fainted, and he didn't know what happened.

Later, Harry saw Snape who was reluctant to go to the school hospital to get medicine. He didn't have any injuries on his body. It was probably not that the two men were fighting again.

"What about Toby?" Dumbledore asked again, "Has he visited you in the hospital?"

Harry noticed that Principal Dumbledore's tone was not relaxed when he said these words.

"No." Harry shook his head in a low voice and said, "We haven't seen Professor Highmore since that night. Is he still in school?"

Dumbledore seemed to have a lot to say to Harry, but in the end he just patted Harry on the shoulder, pushed him towards Hermione who had already received the signature, and said: "It's time to enjoy your vacation.

Yes, I believe this drama will be very interesting."

After the three of them entered the tent, Newt came over with his suitcase and asked, "What are your plans next?"

Dumbledore looked in the direction of Hogwarts Castle in the distance, and he said unambiguously: "What are the next plans? I hope the school dinner tonight will meet the taste of the guests. Their stomachs are not that easy to cope with."

"Let's go too. If it's any later, Fudge will go crazy. The disappearance of Toby makes him very nervous. He always feels that something big will happen."

"Then will he really do this?" Newt asked nervously.

"It should be said that he has already done it." Dumbledore got into the tent. Newt looked back and forth helplessly. He hugged the suitcase tightly and trotted in, as if there was something wrong.

It was like something was chasing him behind him.

——

"Look, Harry." As soon as he walked into the tent, Ron pointed at a bunch of people surrounded by bubbles and shouted: "Did you see it? It's a bubble ball. I never had a chance.

Played with it.”

"I" Harry felt that there must be something wrong with his eyes, otherwise how could there be so many people standing in such a small tent - almost all the students in the school were present, but the inside of the tent looked a little...

It wasn't crowded, there was laughter and laughter everywhere, and occasionally some people would walk by saying something that Harry couldn't understand.

"It's French." Hermione looked as shocked as Harry. She said blankly: "I learned some simple sentences when my parents and I were on vacation - but, have you seen it, Harry?"

She said the same thing as Ron: "I know there are magic tents, but I have never seen such a big tent. Where did they get it from?"

Harry didn't know how to answer. He even had a magic tent - oh, no, he had indeed seen a magic tent. He even lived there for a while when he was studying devils. It was specially prepared for him by Professor Hemmer.

.

At this time, a girl holding a pink marshmallow stopped and said: "It is said that this is a creation left by the Wizarding Council. It is said to be related to avoiding Muggle pursuit. There must be a safe place to hold meetings at any time. But

I don’t think so, maybe some old wizard made it randomly by himself, you are very good at understanding the brains of those old guys."

"Wizard Council." Hermione looked at the marshmallow in the woman's hand and blinked.

"Tonks."

At this time, a very stern-looking wizard shouted angrily: "Where have you been? If Moody hadn't guaranteed it for you, I would have made you look good!"

"Oops." Tonks looked around, then she put the marshmallow into Hermione's hand.

"I haven't eaten here yet, if you don't mind." She pointed to the marshmallow that was leaning towards Hermione, then wiped the corners of her mouth randomly, and after making sure that no traces were left, she immediately changed it.

With a face that was both serious and funny, he ran towards the wizard: "Director, I'm here. Do you want to see me if you have something to do?"

"She seems to be an Auror." Harry suddenly remembered and said, "I saw her photo in the Daily Prophet a long time ago, related to that famous court trial."

Hermione tasted the marshmallow blankly, and then immediately looked at it in surprise and found that it was even more delicious than she imagined.

"Okay, you two." Ron suddenly came out of nowhere and said, "You're secretly eating snacks here behind my back. Where's my share?"

"No more." Harry seemed to realize the seriousness of the problem and said quickly: "An Auror gave it to us. I don't have it yet. If you don't believe me, ask Hermione."

But Hermione's eyes seemed to be frozen. She looked directly behind a group of flying ponies and said with some disbelief: "If we are wrong, are those Fred and George? They are doing that over there."

what?"

"Who? Where are they?" Ron changed his mind so fast that Harry was frightened. He stretched his neck and looked around: "Is that there? I saw them. It's true. I said, they

Could it be that they are selling something? I went over to take a look and found that there was a profitable business but they didn’t contact me. They are really outrageous!"

Ron walked towards them angrily. Fred and George were sitting behind a table, wearing their most formal clothes - Gryffindor house uniforms.

"Dear sir, please allow me to introduce - who is it you?"

Fred's expression immediately changed from solemnity to disgust. He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go, go, don't stop us from making a lot of money - ah, no, don't stop us from earning impression points for the academy."

"You spilled the beans!" Ron said angrily: "And why can't I be here, but she can!"

Ron pointed at Ginny, who was surrounded by two people. She blushed horribly and seemed to be very unaccustomed to such a place with so many people coming and going, not to mention that there were some wizards who were not British.

"Because her jumping shoes are very popular." George responded casually: "You can't imagine how popular they are with girls, especially foreign girls - Hello, beautiful lady (French)

.”

George suddenly stood up and said with a smile, causing the two girls passing by to giggle.

"I saw you not doing your job as soon as I came back." Percy struggled to squeeze through the crowd, and his ears were red with anger: "If this continues, we won't even be able to win against Hufflepuff, with Digory's face

Better than both of you put together - and I'm not talking about you, Ginny, you just have to introduce them to your guests when they need them."

Ginny's head dropped even lower.

"Here." Hermione, who was following, handed over a hand and said, "Would you like some marshmallows? By the way, why isn't Luna here? Don't you usually stay together?"

"She's on the Ravenclaw side." Ginny said pitifully, almost crying: "She has been surrounded by people all day long, and those people want to buy more from her.

The anti-monster glasses, if Mr. Welch hadn't been there, she would have been robbed long ago."

"Who is Widget?" Harry asked confused.

"He is Professor Heimer's partner." Fred said enthusiastically: "He is simply the smartest goblin I have ever seen. He knows how to make money. We may cooperate in the future."

"Just based on multi-flavored juice?" Percy said disgustedly: "Come on, you should really see Digory's automatic casting wand. It's ten thousand times smarter than you!"

"Who is your brother?" George looked very hurt.

At this time, a deafening voice sounded throughout the place as big as a square.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah."

"Mr. Ayer said that the drama program will start soon. Interested audiences are welcome to come to the southeast to watch, where the stage is set up."

Suddenly, the tent was filled with people. Students, as well as important guests protected by Aurors, all wanted to go in that direction.

"Where is Dumbledore?" Fudge was crowded among a group of visitors from the Ministry of Magic from all over the world. He was sweating profusely and asked: "Why is he missing? Send someone to find him quickly. There is also Toby Highmore. Be sure to pay attention.

Good for his behavior."

"Toby isn't coming." Dumbledore suddenly appeared from the crowd, and the crowd seemed to have disappeared. He walked to Fudge easily.

"Why can't he come?" Fudge asked with wide eyes: "We have already agreed in advance, how could he come at this time -?"

"He didn't want to cause trouble for you." Dumbledore looked in the direction of the stage and said, "Because he has more important troubles to solve now."
