Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 293 Hogwarts

Just as the drama was about to unfold, a quarrel was taking place in an office at Hogwarts.

"You should go to the celebration, Remus."

"No, unless you tell me which part of my memory was taken away."

"Why can't you understand?"

Toby didn't even have the intention to sit down anymore. He stood up and said impatiently: "I've told you ten thousand times, that memory is very dangerous and you must forget it! And the specifics are

Which one - except the time you almost killed Severus?"

After being successfully rescued, Lupine has been pestering Toby since he returned to school, and today is no exception.

His face was a little haggard, and he had not fully recovered from the previous disaster. His tone was sickly when he spoke, but his attitude was still firm.

"How do I know if you are lying?" He said with strong suspicion: "And what you said is wrong. You clearly erased at least two of my memories, the time in the Screaming Shack, and the time during the snow mountain adventure.

The time I was attacked by you."

"But you have already recalled the last part." Toby said with a headache: "If I really pull out the memory of your time in the snow mountain, you will not be able to recall this experience at all - Forgetting Curse

It's very different from extracting memories, you should understand that."

"Of course I understand." Lupine said sarcastically: "You have your own good intentions, and for this reason you have been hiding the news that Sirius is alive from me. You must have been very happy when you saw me sad about this before.

"

"I would rather he was dead." Toby obviously didn't want to mention this person anymore. He sat down again, gently clasped his fingers on the access book and said, "I guess he thinks so too, but he has never been there.

It’s just an opportunity to implement—by the way, where is he now?”

"I still want to ask you." Lu Ping stared at him and said.

The two looked at each other in silence for a while, both feeling that the situation seemed a little bad.

"Merlin," Lupine finally realized that they all seemed to have been deceived by Sirius, using the same old-fashioned method - deceiving both parties at the same time.

"Then where will he be?" Lupine frowned and said worriedly; "Could it be that he appeared at the celebration? There are so many Aurors there, and they even have his body in case he is discovered."

"Relax." Toby said casually: "Don't forget who else is there. Principal Dumbledore will definitely take care of him."

"I hope so." Lu Ping could only say this, and then became silent.

Toby acted as if he didn't notice Lupine's abnormality at all. He picked up the Book of Access and read page after page, as if it contained some unknown magic power.

After a period of silence, it was Lupine who finally broke the silence and said, "I've noticed recently that you haven't appeared with Dumbledore anymore. Is there anything you can tell me?"

This couldn't be more abnormal.

Lupine didn't know what happened during the period when he was missing, but the result was obvious. It was as if Toby had broken up with Dumbledore, and Lupine never let Lupine see any of their conversations.

.

Toby's gaze stopped moving from the book.

Next came the time to compete for patience, and Lupine had always been a very patient person. He looked at the ice cube in the house that would never melt, and repeatedly looked at the memories hidden inside that originally belonged to him.

Toby closed the admission book with a "snap". He said angrily and helplessly: "This is none of your business. Okay, I want to stay alone for a while. I don't want to be ignored by anyone."

disturb."

Full of curiosity and worry, Lupine was kicked out of the office by Toby.

After Lupine left, Toby returned to sit behind the desk for a while, but this time he couldn't read the names in the Book of Access and became very restless and restless.

law of conservation of magic

He muttered this novel vocabulary silently in his mind, and finally stood up and left the office after checking that everything was correct.

After a while, Toby appeared in a dark and damp corridor. He kept walking deeper and deeper. Light balls floated silently around him, illuminating the path under his feet and gradually revealing the secret room at the end.

Nowadays, there is a special figure in the hall of Slytherin's chamber of secrets. It is the armor used to trap the devil. It is still doing this, obeying Toby's orders faithfully.

But this time, there was another person inside it.

After hearing Toby's footsteps, Gellert Grindelwald slowly opened his eyes, and a seductive voice came from under his visor: "Toby Highmore, I knew you couldn't help but come.

See me."

Toby hated Grindelwald's tone. Even though the person who was caught was clearly Grindelwald himself, Toby felt very disgusted.

"Really?" He deliberately looked at the statue of Slytherin himself and said, "Why can't I just plan to do some experiments on you? Have you seen the little cutie you live with? I believe it will be very willing to destroy it.

What’s missing is your body, but also your soul.”

The special humanoid devil always maintains an extremely aggressive state. If the armor hadn't restrained it, it might have killed Grindelwald long ago.

"This makes no sense." Grindelwald said still calmly: "Albus will not let you do such a thing. I know him very well. He will not be willing to let his students destroy it with his own hands.

The purity of the soul that came down. Moreover, I believe that he also needs to know a lot of information from my mouth. For example, who is the person pretending to be me in Nurmengard now? Or is it that the Austrian magic world has been affected by me?

Control. And how many people know the law of conservation of magic."

"He's worried about that, extremely worried, isn't he?"

Toby remained silent. Grindelwald showed no consciousness of a prisoner at all, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.

But Grindelwald kept talking.

"I have some students, they are distributed all over the world, some you know, some you don't know. Once one of them spreads all the laws of magic conservation, you should know how much turmoil this will bring to the magic world -

- All crimes have become evidence-based. Wizarding supremacy and pure-blood supremacy will become topics that can be discussed openly, and may also be involved in the election of ministers of magic in various countries. Whether it is for power,

It is still the continuation of the wizarding and magical world, these people can do anything."

"It won't be long before you have the chance to see this with your own eyes, Toby Highmore. It's not too late to regret it now."

"Repent?" Toby sneered: "Are you still trying to persuade me to join you? Do you think you are qualified to say such a thing now?"

"I'm just helping you make plans in advance." Grindelwald said calmly: "Because I also know what you are worried about. Today is the day of the celebration, right?"

"Whether it's the third skeleton or the magic ball, their fate will be decided today, right?"

"Who will they belong to? You? Or Albus Dumbledore, who is used to being in control?"

Toby's brows furrowed tightly, and his fingers repeatedly clenched and unclenched the wand in his sleeve.

"It seems you don't know the feeling of fear." He narrowed his eyes and said, and then ordered to the armor: "Do the health exercises I learned from Muggles ten times, and you must let the Dark Lord follow and exercise well.

OK."

"This makes no sense." Grindelwald shook his head and said, but he soon froze. The armor no longer acted according to his will, and suddenly began to stretch his body. Even Grindelwald had to move up and down together.

Jump up and down.

"I have a whole day to spend with you." Toby conjured a chair, and he sat on it, staring fiercely at the funny-looking Grindelwald, and repeated emphatically: "A whole day.

!”

He acted as if he was blaming Grindelwald for not being able to attend the celebration.

——

Hogsmeade.

"Quack."

With Leif's announcement, the drama officially began.

The animals on the stage all moved together, and the audience below saw a snow-white owl that seemed to imitate the birth of a baby.

"What are they discussing?" Fudge asked nervously in a low voice.

Deputy Minister Umbridge also couldn't understand the language of those people. Finally, Old Barty Crouch, Director of the Department of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation, replied: "They were discussing the idea of ​​​​the owl. Those people wore

The eyes are magical and can understand the thoughts of animals."

"Anti-monster glasses?" Fudge thought of this magical item from Toby Hemmer's student, and he felt that the situation was beyond his control: "Why don't we have one?"

"Because it hasn't been sold in the UK yet." Umbridge flattered non-stop: "Why do they have no standardized process? It's far behind the British Ministry of Magic."

Unfortunately, this was destined to be useless praise. Fudge quickly ignored her and turned to Dumbledore, who was sitting on the other side with a smile, and asked in a low voice: "Why don't we have anti-monster glasses? Don't tell me this is Hogwart."

Another temptation from Ci.”

"You are too nervous, Fudge." Dumbledore advised: "It's better to watch this drama carefully. I have been looking forward to it for a long time. They performed well, didn't they?"

Not only are they good, but with Al's repeated rehearsals, these animals performed so vividly that Fudge recognized their identities one by one - Mrs. Norris who played Bellatrix, and the mouse who played Peter Pettigrew.

Dot, this is Ron's pet. There are also two Dark Lords, one is Grindelwald played by Virgil, and the other is Voldemort played by Crookshanks.

This is all based on the testimony at the original trial! I didn’t expect Toby Highmore to actually show all the contents!

Fudge watched the whole play with horror. In the last scene, "Sirius" fell and died in the air. "Grindelwald" quietly hid and watched this scene in the dark. "Voldemort" still didn't know that he had been blackmailed by the previous generation.

The devil has affected her invisibly, and she is still trying to find a chance to turn over.

Finally, a coffin that had been prepared appeared on the stage. Inside was the body of "Sirius" that had been transferred from the Ministry of Magic. He was buried together with the owl, causing many people below to watch and weep silently.

"Quack."

With Leif's final announcement, all the animals walked onto the stage and bowed deeply to the audience under Al's command.

"Mrs. Mary is praising your careful arrangements." Old Batty reminded him in a low voice as he stood up to applaud: "She likes this fairy tale very much and hopes it can be performed in Brazil."

"What?" Fudge turned around and saw a woman wearing anti-monster glasses. She was a representative from the Castrobushe School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and an official from the local Ministry of Magic.

It seems that wearing glasses or not is a completely different viewing experience. What Fudge was worried about did not happen. No one would think of the two dark magicians, even if the name is "The Legend of Sirius".

"Smile, Minister."

Like a mosquito, Rita Skeeter saw the opportunity and came over. She was carrying an over-the-top crocodile bag and said: "Now it's time for the photographer to take a photo of you. Can you get together over here? I didn't mean you -

She frowned and stopped a shabby wizard: "I haven't seen your name on the list. Who are you?"

"I am the staff member responsible for moving the corpses." The wizard said gloomily, making Skeeter jump away as if he had seen a ghost, and immediately waved at him in disgust, telling him to leave quickly.

In Dumbledore's sight, the wizard was getting closer and closer to the stage. Up there, Al was speaking seriously to the animals, praising them for living up to their efforts and sweat during this period. The short-sighted Virgil rushed

Hedwig cheered - she had mistaken the owl again.

"Excuse me, please give me a chance," the wizard said to a catnive who looked untouchable. Crookshanks glanced up at him, still lying there motionless, not even bothering to turn over.

Fudge on the other side had long been so complacent that he held on to Dumbledore's hand and made up his mind to show this scene to everyone. It was best to let everyone see that he and Dumbledore had a good relationship.

There are no gaps.

This naturally made him forget that he still had to bury Sirius' body. Anyway, this was only a request of Toby Highmore and anyone could do it.

In just a short while, the staff member who claimed to be carrying the corpse had already arrived in front of the coffin. He stared at Sirius inside and took out a small bottle of potion and put it on his nose when no one was paying attention.

Within a few seconds, the "corpse" woke up faintly, and the real Sirius asked in a daze: "Is it time already? Where is Harry? Dumbledore, I hope to see him - are you

who?"

Sirius suddenly became extremely vigilant. Except for Dumbledore, no one knew, or almost most people knew that his "corpse" should be in the coffin.

He had already arranged a contract with the fake corpse, and used special potions to deal with the signs of survival, so that no one could see it.

Under Sirius's gaze, which almost decided to risk his life, the visitor suddenly said in a voice that was both familiar and unfamiliar to him: "Don't get excited, and don't shout out, it's me -"

"James!"
