Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 300 Conversation

After finding nothing on the first floor, Toby walked up the stairs in the sight of several people.

He obviously came to see Sirius.

Blake's tone darkened almost instantly.

"You are not welcome here." He said coldly, as if he wanted to drive people away.

At this moment, a seemingly natural person appeared behind Toby.

Lupine crossed Toby's body and vaguely stood between the two of them.

"Okay, Sirius." He said helplessly: "At least don't do anything here - and you guys." He turned his head and looked at the trio: "You go to the first floor and stay for a while, I

I just saw a wish box - oh, you have already won the prize - oh, it's "Ancient Magic" again."

Judging from what Lupine meant, he must have played the wish box himself, and he also won a lot of Toby's books--that is, the bottom prize.

Both Ron and Hermione felt that it was better to leave for the time being. Now was not the time for them to intervene - but Harry didn't think so. He thought that he needed to prevent Professor Highmore and Sirius from really fighting, which would definitely happen.

attracted the attention of the Ministry of Magic.

"Don't be stupid, Harry." Toby said as if he knew what Harry was thinking: "And I didn't mean to trouble him, I just have some questions to ask him."

Sirius narrowed his eyes and stared at Toby, then he turned around and took out a few silver Sickles and put them in Harry's hand.

"Go on, go play." He urged: "Don't worry, Dumbledore won't allow this guy to mess around."

This reason is much more convincing.

Ron and Hermione quickly pulled Harry away from the second floor. After they were far away, Lupine looked at the surrounding environment and said, "It looks pretty good here. How have you been these days?"

He was obviously trying to ease the atmosphere between the two of them, but unfortunately no one bought his idea.

"Get up from my sofa." Sirius said with a look of disgust, "There is no place for you here."

"You are the least qualified person to say these things." Toby sat safely on the sofa. He raised one leg and said slowly: "Poor homeless guy, look at what you look like now.

,Tsk tsk tsk, there really isn’t a decent wizard in the Black family.”

"Please, guys." Lupine quickly stopped Black before he could get angry: "Are you really going to be like this as soon as you meet? Shouldn't we be discussing more important issues - James Potter?

No one cares about his life or death—especially you,"

He turned his gaze to Sirius and said: "You two have the best relationship, and he has personally confirmed your life and death. Don't you want to know where he got the news? Why is he so sure that you don't

Will he definitely die?"

These words undoubtedly attracted Sirius' attention.

"What do you want to say?" he asked sideways.

"Clue." Lupine said firmly: "This is a crucial clue. If we can find James, we may be able to follow the clues and find out where Grindelwald has escaped."

Well, poor Lupine was kept secret again. Except for a very few people, no one knew that Grindelwald was locked in the Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts.

This is a top-level secret that only Toby and Dumbledore know. Although they have not communicated much now, they surprisingly agree that it is best not to let Grindelwald have the opportunity to come into contact with more people.

Doubts increase risk.

But no matter what, the whereabouts of James are still important, as it can help Toby find more secrets related to death, and Sirius is actually the most urgent person.

Ever since he met the suspicious "James", he has never thought of giving up looking for him. Unfortunately, he is now trapped in the Pig's Head Bar, and Dumbledore has repeatedly stressed that he cannot be allowed to leave this place.

bar, otherwise there will be a great possibility of exposure.

"Tell me about it." He frowned and said, already knowing in his mind the reason why Toby would come to him.

"What are you going to do?"

Lupine finally breathed a sigh of relief. He turned back to look at Toby, silently waiting for him to make suggestions.

"Harry Potter." Toby said slowly: "The one who can cause James to show up the most is Harry Potter. Although he said before that he couldn't see Harry yet, he still endured it.

I couldn't help but give Harry a flame bat. In short, as long as Harry encounters something, maybe he can-"

"Don't even think about hurting Harry!" Sirius suddenly interrupted: "I won't just watch you do this, you-"

"Shut up!" Toby said with disgust on his face: "Quidditch, I mean Quidditch, what else can attract James' interest the most, I think there is nothing besides Quidditch. As long as

Put Harry in an extremely important game, and maybe James won't be able to help but come to see him again - not face to face, even just to take a look from a distance. That's about it, what else do you have?

Do you want to add anything, eh? Idiot?"

Sirius didn't expect Toby to come up with such a harmless method, which surprised him.

However, Toby's name still angered him.

"Don't think I don't know." He yelled angrily; "You blocked the Firebolt I sent to Harry without authorization. Only people like you would do such a disgusting thing——

"

"Then you become a professor at Hogwarts." Toby said sharply: "Instead of being a poor guy who doesn't even know how to resist, and ends up not even daring to go home -"

"Okay, okay, guys -" Lu Ping stood up in time to stop: "I think that's the end of today's conversation. That's it, right? We are responsible for arranging an important event in the school.

At that time, you will keep an eye on those suspicious visitors in Hogsmeade Village, right?"

He pushed and pushed Toby away from the stairs, and then saw the trio on the first floor with curiosity and worry written on their faces.

"Professor Hemmer!"

Harry obviously heard the quarrel coming from the second floor, but he couldn't help but ask this question.

"Is it really possible that my father will be resurrected?"

Toby turned his head and glanced at Harry. He suddenly strode over, his burly body blocking out the light, leaving Harry in the shadows.

"Why don't you let me answer you with another question?"

He stared at Harry closely and said: "If one day James - no, not just him, but also Lily - if they are really resurrected and turn against the rest of us, what are you going to do?

"

"Choose us or them?"

Harry was frightened by this question, and Hermione was also frightened, and her face turned pale.

At this moment, Ron, the only one with a big heart, asked: "But how could it be possible? Why do Harry's parents have trouble with you?"

"Yeah, I can't figure it out either." Toby turned his gaze to Ron and said: "I don't know why James refused to tell us old friends why he has been resurrected - so, Harry

, I advise you not to have too much hope, this whole thing is revealing that something is wrong - but there is another way, are you free tomorrow, Sunday?"

Harry was unable to follow Professor Helmer's train of thought for the moment.

"Just treat it as if you are free." Toby said decisively: "It's time to continue our tutoring class. Harry, come to the office to see me at one o'clock tomorrow afternoon. That's about it."

Harry failed to get an accurate reply from Professor Heimer, but he accidentally activated the tutorial class that he thought he had forgotten.

He doesn’t know what Professor Haimer will teach him this time.

Lupine couldn't help but ask this question on the way back.

"What else could it be?" Toby frowned and said, "Are there any other possibilities besides ancient magic?"

It's almost like saying nothing.

Lupine sharply pointed out the key point that Toby wanted to avoid: "Don't tell me, Toby, are you planning to teach Harry the magic to deal with James? You don't want to wait until one day when they have a chance to meet.

Lee becomes soft-hearted?"

"When did you become so smart?" Toby said in surprise: "It seems that the few months you were trapped have made you grow a lot of brains - eh, you said, since you have experienced such a thing

Now, will the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's curse continue to come true?"

"Can I take this as a threat?" Lupine said expressionlessly: "Are you trying to say that whenever I tell Principal Dumbledore about this, I will find a way to manually make the curse come true in advance?"

Toby patted Lupine on the shoulder happily: "What a coincidence, you and I thought of it together."

"Stop joking!" Lupine pushed Toby's arm away and accused: "Do you know what you are doing now? Is it possible that you will deliberately lead Harry and James to turn against each other?"

"Do you really think that person is James?" Toby asked suddenly.

"What?" Lupine's eyes widened: "So you think James is not resurrected, he is someone pretending to be -"

"No, no, no." Toby interrupted: "Although I have not seen similar examples, I know how powerful ancient magic is. I am skeptical about whether he is really resurrected. As for him

Whether it is 100% James, I still doubt it."

After all, Pandora was only resurrected as a notebook and no longer a wizard.

Speaking more carefully, Toby has not solved his own problem yet - that black feather, which he used on Pandora's Notebook and once on his own.

Now Pandora's notebook is becoming more and more strange, and Toby doesn't know if that will have any effect on him - at least not yet.

However, there is another striking example right around the corner.

In the cold and dark chamber, Grindelwald once again welcomed Toby.

"Have you got any new news for me?" he asked, not worried that Toby would torture himself with calisthenics.

Toby ignored Grindelwald at all. He walked alone to the back where Grindelwald could not see and stared at the huge basilisk corpse in front of him.

This corpse has also been decorated with black feathers, and then shows the scene before its birth - that is, the period of history when Housebaby Lytherin accepted Toby, a special student.

If James and Pandora can be resurrected, will this corpse also be able to be resurrected?

Toby pulled out the black walnut wand and struck it repeatedly on the huge corpse, causing a series of sparks to burst out.

"Maybe I can help, kid." Grindelwald said with his back to Toby. He couldn't turn around and his movements were still controlled by the armor.

After a while, Toby slowly put away the wand.

The corpse is still a corpse, with no sign of resurrection.

He turned around and left without looking back, but before he had taken a few steps, he suddenly walked back to Grindelwald and stared at the old face in the visor.

"Hand it over." He said abruptly.

"What are you referring to?" Grindelwald asked leisurely, without any guilt.

Toby stared at him suspiciously for a while, then looked at the armor and the humanoid devil that always surrounded Grindelwald.

With these two insurances in place, Grindelwald, who didn't even have a wand, couldn't do anything at all.

He was under constant surveillance, day and night.

"Where did you hide James?" He asked this question again, and simply skipped the method of resurrecting James.

Grindelwald shook his head vigorously, he sighed and said: "I don't know what you are talking about, James Potter, Lily and Evans, haven't they passed away long ago?

"

"But Peter Pettigrew was ordered by you!" Toby suddenly shouted: "Do you really think everyone thinks you want to kill them? No, I don't think so, I know how good they are,

They are helpers that even the mysterious man wants to recruit, don’t you want to accept them as your damn students?”

"This is a complete misunderstanding." Grindelwald did not look frightened at all. He still said slowly: "Excellence and strength have never been the only criteria for me to choose my subordinates."

"It's about being loyal."

"Why don't you let me ask you." He also asked: "Are you loyal enough to Albus? After going through this series of encounters, are you still as loyal to him as before?"

The eyes behind the curly hair narrowed slightly. Toby simply ignored the question and asked: "But why do you think I will have a chance to join you? Do you really think I will be loyal to you?"

"This is another misunderstanding." Grindelwald said: "I never need your loyalty, or even need you to do anything for me. In my eyes, you just need to be yourself.

, stick to your ideals and stick to it, that’s completely enough.”

"Even if one day I have to gather people, or work with Dumbledore to fight against you?"

"Believe me, I will be very willing to see this scene. I have never been a person who refuses to admit my mistakes. Otherwise, you would not see me here. But Nurmengard, that will

Become my final destination.”
