Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 327 Harry and James

"The Chudley Cannons defeated the Falmouth Falcons and won another game!"

"A Hundred-Year Miracle—The Return of the God of Victory in 1892!"

""We shall conquer all" - the long-standing slogan echoing in Hogwarts!"

"Who is the undisputed outstanding team leader--Gejien!"

"A team made up of minors - maybe the league should take a closer look at those who can't handle the rules."

As the final Quidditch League Cup approaches, reports related to the Chudley Cannons are also flooding in. Most of them are compliments - this refers to "The Quibbler", but there are also occasional criticisms and doubts - no doubt

, only the Daily Prophet would write this.

But the audience didn't care about this. They flocked to Hogwarts on weekends to watch the Chudley Cannons defeat one team after another. They didn't even care about draws anymore.

"Well done, kids!"

On the Quidditch pitch, Gjeon encouraged the players who had just finished training: "Really, I never thought our final victory was so close. As long as we win the final game against the Holyhead Harpies,

In the finals, we will definitely have a chance to enter this year's World Cup - Toby has promised us that he will fully help us and will never let us be disturbed by things other than the game!"

The players were all bursting with excited smiles.

Nowadays, the composition of the entire team has undergone great changes. Neville, who was the only second student in the third grade, was replaced. He was too thin and not as agile as Harry, so this was the only way to do it.

Marcus Flint has also been expelled long ago. The grudge between him and Wood is too deep, and he often takes advantage of the moment of celebration to hit Wood hard - but this is not the main reason for his expulsion, but

Because Wood quickly dodged it many times in a row, Flint landed hard on the grass, leaving himself disgraced and injured, causing him to miss many games.

Later, Gjeon discovered that the team without Flint was actually stronger, and simply informed him that he would no longer need to train.

The Weasley twins, who had a tacit understanding, were selected as batters in the subsequent selection. Although they came here for the sake of fame so that they could sell the products they produced more profitably, their performance was indeed not bad.

Ravenclaw's Cho Chang was also selected, standing out among the remaining contestants and having become a Tuthill Tornadoes fan at the age of six.

It is worth mentioning that whether it was Qiu Zhang or Cedric Diggory, they were originally the seekers of their respective teams, occupying the same position as Harry. Later, Gjeon even conducted a special

In the selection of Seeker, Harry finally won.

Now both of them have become chasers. Under the leadership of Gjeon, an experienced veteran, they have shown an extraordinary tacit understanding in chasing the bludger.

The team now has three Chasers (including G'jean himself), two Beaters (the Weasley twins), one undisputed Seeker (Harry), and the final Keeper.

It was Wood who held the position, and he had no objections to it and considered it an honor to join such a promising team.

In other words, well, there is not a single Slytherin student on the team now.

Snape had made a few dark threats about this, but they were easily resolved by Gedyne.

"You should go to Toby for advice. He is the owner of the team and I will listen to him in everything."

Gjern became more and more familiar with the title of Professor Heimer. This was all because Toby's training methods were surprisingly effective. He not only trained a group of students to be better than the official players, but also did not delay any game.

Of course, only the six remaining players know the trouble here - the number of flame balls in each training session has been increased to seven, which is the same as the number of opponents they encountered in the game. I can't figure it out.

People in this situation thought that each of them would have to fight alone.

But at least Harry had no complaints.

Professor Heimer specifically allowed these students who participated in the competition to extend the assessment time, which was later than the last exam in other subjects, giving them a chance to rest without being overwhelmed by a large number of exams at the end of the semester.

Harry has not forgotten the content of his assessment - according to the lesson between him and Principal Dumbledore, he must find a way to get Dobby to make changes - such as not being in a hurry to punish himself.

In other words, Dobby must be made more rational.

Harry tried it and failed.

He found that the difficulty of this matter was no less than that of the Chudley Cannons actually making it to the Quidditch World Cup.

Now he has considered whether to change the test. Well, the content about Hermione turning the bottle of fire into a catnive was good. She has become more and more impressive.

Just when Harry was thinking about asking Hermione as soon as he returned to the castle, Gjeon suddenly stopped him.

"Harry, please stay here first. I have something to tell you."

Wood, who was passing by Harry, patted him on the shoulder and gave him an encouraging look. The twins walked away from Harry with smiles on their faces. Cedric and Qiu Zhang also talked to Harry before leaving.

They said hello - they all thought that Harry was about to undergo secret training, after all, the next game was crucial.

After everyone else had left, Harry asked awkwardly: "Sir, I -"

"Call me captain." Gjeon said with a straight face, and then smiled: "Don't worry, you did a good job. As long as you maintain the current level, we will definitely win the next game."

This made Harry sigh in relief.

But in the next second, his heart started to beat fast.

Because he saw Gjeon suddenly raising his wand at an unexpected speed, and said to himself with regret: "But it's a pity, Harry."

"There won't be another game."

——

The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office.

Lupine reluctantly put down the textbook in his hand. He sighed and said, "Can you tell me the reason, Toby? You came here early in the morning. It can't just be because you have nothing to do. I remember you have a teacher."

I’m going to be busy with the assessments for the commendation meeting.”

"Yes, I am indeed quite busy." Toby, who was sitting on the sofa opposite, said slowly: "But I am more curious whether the curse of position will come true twice. Tonight is the last full moon before the holiday. If

If you want to take risks before then, this would be the best time."

"But I thought that had already passed in the first half of the semester." Lu Ping said calmly about his previous experience of being trapped for half a semester: "So what are you going to do, Toby? Keep an eye on me.

Are you going to the Screaming Shack tonight to accompany me in my transformation?"

Toby thought carefully for a moment.

"No, let's forget it."

He stood up and said as if he was about to leave.

"I hope nothing happens tonight."

Lupine just felt that Toby's brain was broken again.

As night approached, Lupine, who had been busy at work all day, decided to go to the Shrieking Shack.

Fortunately, Gjern has never appeared again since he went there once, otherwise Lupine really doesn't know where he should hide.

He had already taken the wolfsbane potion sent by Snape in advance, which would allow him to spend the full moon smoothly again.

Under the dim sky, the playground was already deserted. Lupine left the lively castle and carefully came to the Whomping Willow. He followed Toby's example and hit a scar on the tree trunk with a stone.

, let the Whomping Willow stand still.

The passage behind the tree hole was quiet and there was no light at all.

Lupine skillfully cast the lighting spell and walked deeper into the humid air.

About half an hour later, Lu Ping vaguely saw a bright light not far away, which was the final passage.

When he got into the house, he suddenly froze and stared blankly at the person who appeared in front of him.

"Sirius?" he asked in surprise: "Why are you here? Is the Pig's Head Bar closed?"

Aberforth was sent to St. Mungo's Hospital for examination as soon as he got out of trouble, and he did not come back after he was discharged. As far as Lupine knew, he was sent by Dumbledore to perform some secret mission, and there were also

A new helper.

Therefore, Sirius has always been in charge of the Pig's Head Bar.

Sirius, who was sitting on the sofa, still looked dirty. He had not taken off his disguise, but of course this could not be hidden from Lupine's eyes.

"I have something to tell you."

Sirius said in a serious tone that Lupine had never seen before: "You'd better be mentally prepared in advance."

"What is it? You'd better hurry up." Lupine reminded: "It will be the full moon in a while. Although I have taken the wolfsbane potion, but - I forgot, you know Animagus, then

There really isn’t any risk.”

Werewolves will not attack animals, nor will they attack the big black dog that Sirius transforms into.

For werewolves, the only prey is wizards.

When Lupine was at school, he would leave the Shrieking Shack with other friends, a move he often regretted afterwards, thinking it would cause unnecessary trouble to Principal Dumbledore.

"Yes, I know Animagus."

Sirius stepped aside, revealing the entrance to the hall leading to the stairs behind him.

Lupine was shocked to see a familiar person walking out - it was Gjeon.

"He can too." Sirius continued.

Lupine stared at Sirius in disbelief. He was almost anxious. He didn't expect that the secret he had finally hidden would be leaked by Sirius.

At this time, Gjern suddenly said in a voice that was extremely familiar to Lupine: "It seems that we haven't seen each other for a long time, so you didn't recognize me. But this is normal, Padfoot didn't recognize me at the beginning.

The reason why I was recognized was because I accidentally exposed myself later - well, it was only half an hour apart. Who would have thought that Toby would deliberately arrange for me to stay at the Pig's Head Bar."

"you--"

Lupine stared at "Gjeon."

"Are you James. James Potter? Is it really you? Why, how is this possible, you - don't tell me, even Peter Pettigrew -"

"Don't mention that guy." Sirius interrupted in disgust: "Don't have any hope for that traitor either. He betrayed James' trust in him and deserves to be locked up in prison for the rest of his life. Death is not a pity."

In response to this, "Gejien" just shook his head slightly and didn't say a word.

"I know this is hard to believe."

After a while, "Gjeon" continued to Lupine: "But I also can't believe what has happened in these years. I never thought that I could survive, or that I could die."

It makes no difference - in a very strange way, I can only live in this world as a team captain who will not be noticed."

He raised a hand, and in the dim light coming from the window, he could see that the light passed directly through his palm without being blocked.

He also relied on this ability to escape Toby's sudden attack at Gaunt's old house.

"Are you a living person or a ghost?" Lu Ping asked in shock.

"No." James shook his head: "This is an ancient magic, older than any magic I know. I don't know much about it, but I can only find a way to learn it. Only

Only in this way can I have the opportunity to see my child and Lily."

"Lily?" Lupine asked in surprise: "Lily Evans? You mean she is still alive - in a similar way to you?"

This time, James remained silent for a longer period of time.

"Lily couldn't be saved."

In the silence, he said painfully: "The mysterious man found us and wanted to kill us. I later learned that it was not just a simple death, but was related to an evil magic."

"In this magic, my death was carried out smoothly, so I can survive now. But Lily is different. She made one last counterattack against the mysterious man before she died, which caused her to suffer even more serious trauma. To this day

It can’t be made up for.”

"That's why I followed that man's order. I had to do this. In order to save Lily, I had no choice but to do this. Sorry, Remus, I dare not see you. I didn't know what he would do to Lily's soul.

What."

"And Harry, I thought about going to see Harry, but that won't work either. He will definitely notice it. Even the Christmas gift I prepared before was discovered by him."

In the gradually solidifying moonlight, Lu Ping's body gradually began to deform, his head became elongated, and he grew a ferocious face.

"But I've found a solution now."

Taking advantage of Lupine's last waking moments, James said seriously: "I need a place where I won't be disturbed tonight, so I can only choose this place. Anyone who knows will not go near the Shrieking Shack tonight."

of."

After he said these words, he quickly turned into a silver stag, and Sirius also turned into a big black dog.

Under the influence of the Wolfsbane potion, Lupine, who completely transformed into a werewolf, gradually fell into a half-dream and half-awake state, which greatly reduced his threat and allowed him to end the transformation process in this way.

The last thing he saw was the silver stag and the big black dog leaving the room together, closing the door softly.

After that, the stag and the big black dog came to the second floor together, and they walked to the innermost bedroom.

Just when the stag was about to push the door open, the door was suddenly pushed open from the inside.

Harry, who had long seen the flash of silver light, appeared behind the door. He held up his wand in one hand and the flame bottle made by Hermione in the other hand. His face was full of fear and uneasiness.

But the spell he recited was extremely clear——

"Guard the demise!"
