Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 307 The Mysterious James

The problem was revealed by Dumbledore himself and placed in front of Sirius and Lupine.

If James' body is still buried properly, then who was the person who found Sirius at the celebration?

Could it still be James? Or is it just someone else pretending?

In addition, the two of them also learned another thing from Tonks - Toby had indeed lied. It was impossible for Dumbledore to have the mind to do other things while he was recovering from his injuries. So the death of Grindelwald

It was indeed him who forged it.

"I'm going to expose him!" Sirius said subconsciously, with anger written all over his face: "This despicable and shameless villain, I'm going to expose him now!"

"Don't go!" Unexpectedly, the person who stopped him was Tonks. She said, "Dumbledore didn't intend for you to expose yourself like this, and he also heard about the things Toby did.

But he doesn't care, the top priority now is to find James Potter first."

This confused both Sirius and Lupine.

"You just read this letter." Lupine frowned and said, "You should know that there is no possibility of James being resurrected."

"No." Tonks shook her head and said, "This is not exactly what Dumbledore meant. He speculated that James might be resurrected in other ways, using something other than James' true face, but I don't know.

What he is hinting at can only be found by ourselves - yes, just a few of us. Dumbledore did not intend for me to tell Toby about this. He asked me to keep it secret. The reason why Toby was not revealed

The lie is also because you hope that I can continue to come to assist you."

"Why?" Sirius said dissatisfied: "What on earth did he think?"

Tonks finished the last sandwich in two bites, and then said in a puzzled tone: "I don't fully understand Dumbledore's intention, but I can probably hear that he hopes that we can start with Toby."

Find James first, only in this way can we avoid Toby's death."

"I know it's weird, but that's what Dumbledore thinks, and he thinks that once Toby dies, something bad will happen."

She repeated it several times in an accentuated tone: "It's very bad, very bad thing."

The three of them did not know the existence of the Resurrection Stone, and they did not associate it with it at all. They were even less clear about the ending of Cadmus Peverell in the story of the three brothers - he successfully resurrected himself.

The beloved woman, but in the end committed suicide because of the pain, allowing the God of Death to take his life smoothly.

Resurrection Stone.

If Toby had been present, he would have known that Dumbledore was worried that James' so-called resurrection was related to the Resurrection Stone. The person who owned this item would not have a good end, unless the owner had no idea what the item was.

That's why he didn't tell Tonks about the existence of this item, choosing to keep it a secret from her, and also asked her to keep it a secret from Toby.

As for death, it is even easier to understand - Toby once faced a mysterious existence in person, and then confided the secret of "three people" in the screaming shack on a full moon night. This is easy to understand.

It reminds people of the God of Death.

Others would have regarded this as a joke, but Dumbledore would not. He owned the Elder Wand and had personally seen the Invisibility Cloak passed down from the Potter family.

This is a curse, a very dangerous one, and a secret that Toby has always kept.

Dumbledore needs to know enough about this curse so that he can understand what happened to Toby.

This is also something that Toby did not expect - that is, Dumbledore did not choose to solve his own crisis first, but wanted to understand Toby first and know what happened to him.

These are inseparable from the Deathly Hallows and the God of Death.

Once again, Dumbledore picked up the great ideals of his youth, but this time he had no one to accompany him, just alone.

Because his old partner is still locked in the secret room of the castle.

A copy of "The Quibbler" was floating in front of Grindelwald. Sitting opposite him was Toby, who was leisurely observing Grindelwald's reaction.

After Grindelwald finally finished reading all the reports, Toby put the magazine away and asked with an interested tone: "What do you think? Do you think your students will come to save you? They

At least knowing that you are in my hands, how many people do you think would be willing to take this risk?"

"Compared with this matter, I am more curious about Dumbledore's attitude." Grindelwald said calmly: "He would actually let you make up such a lie. Let me guess, he must be now

I have more important things to do and I don’t have the time to worry about you, right?"

"Don't try to test Dumbledore's whereabouts here." Toby shook his head and said: "It's meaningless. Don't forget, Aberforth is still somewhere. It was your people who captured him.

He should be back soon after I want him, as a bargaining chip for exchange or something. What, don’t you believe it?”

Grindelwald once again began to confuse: "I only know that there is an obvious fact before us now. Dumbledore is no longer at Hogwarts, and you have become the acting principal. I don't understand what else is there.

Hesitant, are you worried that Dumbledore will come back to settle accounts with you? You should know that since the law of conservation of magic was leaked, the conflict between you and him can no longer be reconciled - he is destined to choose the one with you.

The path that goes against his ideals is because of his cowardice and because he likes peaceful days."

"Moreover, I don't understand why you haven't revealed this great discovery to the world yet. This is a gift I deliberately left for you, and it is destined to make you famous."

"It would be more appropriate to say it is a scapegoat." Toby saw through Grindelwald's intentions at a glance: "And in this way, the conflict between me and the principal will be really irreconcilable, which will make it easier for you to recruit me.

Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking.”

"I thought you wouldn't care." Grindelwald said with a tone full of regret: "It seems that your so-called ideal is not as firm as I thought."

"No need to provoke me anymore." Toby felt that this back and forth conversation was becoming more and more boring. He stood up and said: "It was your men who killed my friend, so what else do you think?"

What reasons would make me willing to take refuge with you? You should have thought about this matter long ago, unless you tell me now that the Potters are not dead, which may give you some chance to escape."

"I think you are referring to Lily Evans." Grindelwald said. Toby did not deny this. The relationship between him and James could not be called a friendship. At most, the relationship was not that bad.

.

"When you were in school, you didn't hesitate to kill each other's relatives for your friends, and then frame the crime on another person." Grindelwald continued: "I know they are very important to you. But it's a pity.

Yes, I was not present when the Potters were killed. I was still imprisoned in Nurmengard at that time and could not fully control the whole process."

"Do you think I will believe it?" Toby mocked: "You went to all this trouble just to let Voldemort kill them and create a Boy-Who-Lived? I don't see how this works for you.

what is the benefit."

"Benefits?" Grindelwald stared at Toby and said, "Do you think I designed so many things just for a little benefit? No, you don't understand, I am trying to save them, save those arrogant people.

A stupid wizard to avoid the destruction of magic."

"If it were Dumbledore who said this, maybe I would be more convinced." Toby was already planning to leave the Chamber of Secrets, and he said without looking back: "But Gellert Grindelwald

,forget it."

Grindelwald stared at the back of Toby who was gradually moving away, and he suddenly asked: "If Lily Evans was still alive, what would you do? Get back together with your friends, or continue a relationship?"

To the end, no one can make you give up your ideals?"

Toby stopped, he slowly turned around and said: "I didn't expect that even you would think so. I thought the Dark Lord could understand the Dark Devil's mind. It seems that Dumbledore is indeed much stronger than you."

, he knows that none of this can be stopped and can only be postponed temporarily, and he has never had such worries as you."

"You were not unjust at all when you lost at the hands of Dumbledore."

Office of Ancient Magic.

Al was eating Bibi's multi-flavor beans one by one, chewing them loudly and bulging his cheeks, making Ludo Bagman, who was sitting across from the desk, a little greedy.

He stretched out his hand to try to get some beans, but Al turned around and stared at him warily.

The two stared at each other silently for a while, with big eyes and small eyes. Bagman frowned dissatisfied, thinking in his heart how could the rich man's pet be so stingy.

Just when he was about to beg for a second time, the office door was pushed open, and Toby walked in with a smile: "Ludo, my old friend."

Upon hearing Toby's name, Ludo Bagman's face trembled, and he responded with a forced smile: "I haven't seen you for just a few days, and you have become a big shot in the magical world. Ever since Grindelwald's body

After being transferred to the Ministry of Magic, everyone was talking about you and Dumbledore."

"Does this also include Fudge?" Toby asked in a casual tone: "Don't tell me that he specifically asked you to come to me. I don't want to see anything like obstructing the Quidditch match, even if Grindel

Waugh is no longer in the world, but the enthusiasm of the audience still needs to be ignited. It just so happens that the venue of the league this time is Hogwarts. I think they will be willing to come here to watch the game - maybe I can also get a lottery by the way.

A sale or something.”

The smile on Ludo's face froze. He didn't know whether it was because Toby guessed what he was thinking, or because of this so-called autograph session. Many people were victims of the wish box and were deeply affected by "Ancient Times".

The dangers of magic.

"How is that possible?" He smiled even more reluctantly: "There is no such thing at all. Everyone knows the benefits of holding the competition in Hogwarts at this time, and no one will disagree."

He silently forgot all about Fudge's hints. Now there is a rumor circulating in the ministry. It is said that Scrimgeour approached Toby, but was severely punished by him. The most surprising thing is that later the ministry

There was actually no reaction to this.

If Fudge couldn't afford to offend someone, why should he let him, Ludo Bagman, go to the fire? He still wanted to leave Hogwarts intact.

A smile appeared again on Toby's face.

"That's really great." He said kindly: "Oh, by the way, I am still the acting principal of Hogwarts now, and I have more power than before. I believe this competition will be held smoothly.

"

But after hearing what Toby said, Ludo showed a troubled look on his face.

"What's wrong?" Toby asked, the smile on his face a little reduced, "Are there any problems?"

"There are some." Ludo said: "The Chudley Cannons, the team you designated, they don't seem to want to come to play the game - this is not against you, nor is it against Hogwarts, but okay,

I think what they mean is that they don’t want to play any more games.”

Under Toby's probing eyes, Ludo said dryly: "Not long ago, they lost to the Wigtown Wanderers, which dealt a big blow to them, and the team captain was also missing.

For a while, I probably don’t want to touch Quidditch again in this life.”

Al clicked his tongue - losing to the Hoosiers?

This team is really capable.

"The more times like this, the better for them to cheer up." Toby said dissatisfied: "You have to leave it to you to convince them. This is not something I should be responsible for. By the way, let me ask again.

, if this is really the case, will it be easier for them to accept some more exceptional rules?"

coming.

Ludo knew that Toby must have other conditions.

"What do you mean?" he asked tentatively.

"For example, let an underage student join the team or something." Toby said in a no-big-deal tone: "Don't look at me like that. To be honest, I really doubt they can beat Granville.

Fendo’s team, well, I mean any team from the four academies.”

"It sounds quite difficult." Ludo agreed at this time: "But about adding new players. Maybe I can really give it a try. If I don't add some gimmicks to them, I guess this team will

It is about to be disbanded. This must not happen during my tenure. However, it is estimated that the new players will be strongly criticized by then. Are you sure you want to do this? Can that student withstand so much psychological pressure? "

"Don't worry." Toby said with a smile: "I have many students who have this ability."

"A lot?" Ludo noticed Toby's wording: "How many people are you going to choose? If there are too many -"

"No, there is only one." Toby interrupted: "As for who it is, it depends on whether they can get this opportunity."

"I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know right from wrong."
