Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 323 The Peverell Family

Dumbledore was right, he did know Toby very well.

This was a strange thing that even Al was not aware of. Toby hesitated on this alone for a long time and could not make up his mind to use the Resurrection Stone.

Fortunately, he was spotted by Dumbledore in the end.

Otherwise, he might really have the opportunity to see whether a wizard with a defective soul can resurrect a complete soul.

But there is no need to worry about this now, because Dumbledore has taken away the Resurrection Stone and handed the Elder Wand to Toby for study.

This is also a good goal. It just so happens that Toby has learned a lot about wand science because of his research on wands, and he knows the simplest way to identify them.

"Fifteen inches long, elderberry. Is the core of the staff the tail feathers of a thestral? It's really rare."

Under Al's shining eyes, Toby flicked the Elder Wand twice at will, causing small fireworks to bloom in the office.

Soon, Toby noticed something was wrong with this wand.

He has used more complex scepters and can feel the weirdness.

"It doesn't seem to be very handy. Can't everyone use all the power of the Elder Wand? Then -"

Toby threw his wand to Al: "Here, try attacking me and see what the effect is."

Al was thinking hard about those evil spells, and Toby quickly warned: "It can't be the Unforgivable Curse, nor the Explosive Curse. Let's start with the Disarming Curse."

Al smacked his mouth twice out of boredom, and he casually cast a disarming spell, which was easily blocked by Toby.

"Come again."

Toby blocked a second time.

"Come again."

The third time it was blocked without any surprise.

"Come again——"

"ah!"

Al screamed angrily and shot out many spells in the blink of an eye, but even when he was tired and panting, he could not get the Elder Wand out of Toby's hand.

"Okay, let's stop here."

Toby took back his wand and compared the two wands.

Although Al was unsuccessful, Toby's guess was correct. The Elder Wand was indeed not as easy to use as his own wand.

He stuffed the black walnut one back into his pocket, then walked up to the three skeletons with the Elder Wand.

After putting it into their hands one by one for a short while, one of the skeletons grasped the Elder Wand extra tightly, which looked very unusual.

"It seems you are Antioch."

Toby said as he drew a thin line on the skull's forehead. One of the skulls already had a circular pattern (resurrection stone) on its head. As for the last blank one, a triangle was also filled in - this

It is the symbol of the invisibility cloak.

Now we know who is who.

Toby looked at the three skeletons with satisfaction, and then pushed Antioch aside who wanted to take the Elder Wand back.

"You two keep an eye on it, don't let it steal the wand." Toby ordered, and the other two skeletons quickly held Antioch down.

It seems that Antioch was the most deeply affected by the God of Death, followed by Cadmus, and finally Ignotus - he is the owner of the Invisibility Cloak, but when Harry's Invisibility Cloak appeared in front of him,

But there was no reaction at all.

Looking at it this way, "The Story of Three Brothers" still has some basis, and Ignotus is indeed the most sober person among them.

"I hope it won't be my turn." Toby muttered in a low voice, and then rested with Al.

——

The next day is the day when the competition starts.

The new Chadley Cannons will face the same old team - Wimbourne Hornets.

It was a game that attracted much attention, partly because The Quibbler trumpeted the newfound superiority of the Ichandrey Cannons, but partly because Wimbourne Wasps had won three consecutive UEFA Cups.

, was originally an extremely popular team.

Ludo Bagman also came to watch the game. He once played for Wimbourne Hornets and it was under his leadership that they won the three consecutive championships.

Bagman, who was wearing a black and yellow uniform, was very conspicuous in the audience. He saw Toby sitting near the commentary table with keen eyes, and squeezed through the crowd and walked over.

"New team, ha." He said proudly as soon as he came on: "Newcomers really need to be well-trained and trained by the old team. Believe me, the Hornets are the best choice."

"We have to wait until the game is over." Toby said gracefully: "My students are not that easy to disappoint."

"The Academy Showdown and the League Cup are completely different things." Ludo rolled his eyes and said: "Otherwise we can make a bet. The stakes don't have to be too much, as long as-"

He raised a finger.

Toby turned to Al to confirm, and then agreed happily: "Okay, just one thousand Galleons!"

"A thousand?" Bagman's scream was blocked by the cheers of the audience. The players of the two teams walked out of the player tunnel. Anyone who is not blind can see the difference between the two sides - there is no way, Harry and Na

The Weidu are too thin, and even with giant monsters like Flint, it is difficult to cover up their weakness.

Gjern was smiling and shaking hands with the opponent's captain, with harmlessness written all over his face.

Wood pursed his lips tightly, as if he was going to break the opponent's hand - Flint was already doing this. The troll was indeed a troll. Even the players on the official team couldn't pinch him. His expression was so suppressed.

red.

As the referee blew his whistle, Toby patted Ludo on the shoulder and said: "It's settled, Director, one thousand galleons, not a penny less! Come to me after the game. I'll be waiting in the office."

you."

He said it as if the Chudley Cannons had already won the game, and seemed to have no intention of continuing to watch. He walked around the chair and left the stadium with the roaring crowd, and then found Luo who was waiting for him obediently near the castle.

Well and Hermione.

Ron, well, it should be Hermione. She did not disappoint Toby. She had read the manuscripts all night long and learned a lot of new knowledge.

"Show me your thoughts."

Ron immediately handed over a piece of parchment with scrawled writing, and Hermione also took the initiative to take out her own copy, which she had secretly written using a time turner.

After seeing that Professor Hemmer did not refuse her assignment, Hermione's lips curled up in pride - now that Cedric was busy with the team's training, it wouldn't be long before she could regain what was taken away from her.

Assistant position.

This is an excellent opportunity!

"I will read it when I have time. Now follow me."

Toby took the two of them back to his office. On the way, he casually asked Harry if he was also involved in the research process and why he didn't hand in his homework?

Ron's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously wanted to defend himself. Fortunately, Hermione reacted faster than him and responded immediately: "He didn't write it, but he will write it soon. I will keep an eye on him."

It seems that anyone who has read the manuscript has to think about it, no one is exception.

Toby nodded with satisfaction.

After returning to the office, he took out another part of the manuscript and handed it to the two of them. Before leaving, he kindly asked: "Don't forget to hand in this assignment as well."

The two immediately nodded obediently.

After seeing off Ron and Hermione, Toby saw Snape coming as well.

"What are you doing here?" Toby looked like he didn't want to think about Snape.

Snape said in his usual tone: "I didn't expect you to be able to endure it for such a long time - Sirius Black, I thought you would take action without permission. Why, could it be that you were afraid of those people at the beginning?"

Are you here?"

"If this is what happened, you can go back." Toby scratched his ears and said, "You don't have a good heart at first sight. Either you want to retaliate against him, or you want to drive me away too. But if you want

If you do it, I won't tell the truth."

Snape heard the sarcasm in Toby's words, he raised his eyebrows and said: "Really, if I tell you that he has not been so honest recently, will you remain indifferent?"

Toby suddenly looked at Snape.

"You know the news that James is still alive." He said sharply: "Who told you?"

Snape was obviously implying that Sirius had secretly gone to find James, otherwise he would not have suddenly taken the initiative to come to Toby for "help."

"I knew what was going on as soon as I saw Regulus."

Snape said coldly: "It is rumored that he is dead, but he appears alive in the Hog's Head Bar, and with Black's crazy look, it is not difficult to guess."

"It was the principal who told you." Toby pointed out sharply: "It was he who asked you to look at Regulus. At that time, he told you that James was still alive?"

Snape's expression suddenly turned ugly.

Toby stared at him for a few seconds, knowing that he had guessed correctly.

"The principal really trusts you." Toby narrowed his eyes and said, "In addition, I can probably guess what you are going to ask. Yes, I have met James, but after listening to what he said,

Lily didn't seem to survive."

"what a pity."

Snape's face was so gloomy that he wanted to shed tears. He turned around and left without saying a word. Toby shook his head at his back and sighed.

Through the unlocked door, Toby saw Bagman also appearing at the door with a gray face, despair written on his face.

"It seems I won." Toby's tone became cheerful again: "Al, go and get back the money we won from the bet, which is a thousand galleons - what, he didn't bring that much money?

Director Bagman——"

Toby's expression immediately changed. He walked up to Bagman, who was slowly retreating, and asked in a low tone: "You don't want to take advantage of the black devil, do you?"

"I, I." Bagman stumbled and said, "How on earth did you do it? Why can those students-"

"Because your training methods have long been outdated." Toby said disdainfully: "No one knows the potential of wizards better than me. It's a pity that you can't see it. Only I can see it - yes, this is just the beginning. Check

The goal of the Delhi Cannons this year is to reach the Quidditch World Cup, and no one can stop us."

"It doesn't matter whether it's the director or anyone else."

When Bagman left, he was holding an IOU signed at an unknown time, and the signature was a bit strange. It couldn't be a quill and ink, it had to be his own blood.

Bagman had vaguely heard about Scrimgeour's losses at Toby's hands, and he didn't dare to refuse.

Toby asked Al to put the IOU away, and then he closed the door tightly to avoid being disturbed again later.

The three skeletons came to Toby and watched as he held the Elder Wand and turned it around in a circle, finally pointing at the skeleton of Antioch.

"Maybe it can be done." He whispered: "Maybe it can be done. Let's try it first."

While Al closed the last curtain, black smoke emerged from Toby's body, and the Elder Wand was wrapped in the center of the black mist, and was slowly handed over to the palm of Antioch's skeleton.

Then, the black smoke slowly condensed, forming an uncertain figure wearing a hood.

Al saw it - Toby was pretending to be Death as the Dark Devil.

No one knows whether this method is effective, but it obviously worked for Antioch.

It picked up the wand and unconsciously returned to the memory posture that Toby had seen at the full moon - that was the ritual in which the three brothers summoned the God of Death.

"tell me."

Toby's unclear voice emerged from the black fog: "What is my wish?"

This is Death's special way of asking questions. It is not asking about other people's wishes, but its own.

【revenge.】

Toby recognized the word accurately from the pauses in Antioch's words.

Death's wish is for revenge, revenge for all Muggle-borns who have been persecuted.

"It's time to state your wishes."

Toby said the next steps: "Tell me, what is your wish? What are you willing to exchange for it?"

The skeleton in front of him was motionless, but in Toby's eyes, the surrounding scene changed wonderfully - a living Antioch appeared in front of Toby, and he said excitedly: "I hope to get a war-free weapon."

The invincible magic wand, only in this way can all enemies be defeated."

"Who is your enemy?"

Toby found that due to this wonderful connection, his voice became more and more like the god of death.

"The Peverell family has only one enemy."

Antioch's expression gradually turned resentful: "Those damn pure-blood wizards, they were the ones who harmed our ancestors -"

The scene ended abruptly here, and Toby took the initiative to change back to his human form. Almost at the same time, he saw a full moon slowly rising in the room, and then disappearing in an instant.

Unexpectedly, the Peverell family is actually the descendant of the remnants of Loch Ness City.

Toby was digesting this information silently. He was panting. Al didn't understand what happened just now. It only saw Toby standing face to face with one of the skeletons for a long time after turning into a devil, and then he

It suddenly became like this.

Toby took the lemonade from Al and looked at the other two unresponsive skeletons. He knew in his heart that it was because the god of death did not have such a deep impact on them, so a closer connection was needed to wake them up.

The Peverell family, and Muggle-borns.

And the invincible wand.

At the end of the day, Toby suddenly came up with an idea.

When it is Cadmus' turn, who should use the Resurrection Stone?

Is it him with a defective soul, or Dumbledore who has been suppressing his resurrected relatives?
