Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 340 The Ring of the Gaunt Family

On the path in front of the Castle of Death, Toby and Dumbledore arrived together.

"Yeah--Yeah?"

Al, who originally wanted to pounce, hesitated. It looked at Dumbledore and then Toby, wondering why the two came together.

"When you told me the news, the principal happened to be here." Toby simply explained. He didn't notice at all that he forgot to change his title.

"Where's Angela?" Toby asked again.

Al said that Angela had already left with the children, including Pandora. Something more dangerous might happen next, so it would be safer this way.

Dumbledore looked at the prison-like castle in the distance.

"Give me the Elder Wand," he said.

Toby glanced at Dumbledore, then nodded to Al, and said by the way: "Give me the scepter too, there is no room for error in this adventure,"

After handing over these two things, Al was told to stay where he was and there was no need to enter the castle together.

It stared blankly at the two figures following the castle steward, feeling in its heart that once these two people really cooperated, nothing seemed to be able to stump them.

It's a pity, because of those last words, and because of Toby's behavior before entering Mason's door.

Herbo's threat ruined everything.

——

Waves of cheers came in waves and seemed to never stop.

James' tired eyes showed uncontrollable excitement. He shook hands with the captain of the French team, and then immediately flew back to the sluggish players on his broom.

"we won!"

He kept shouting: "Boys, we really won!"

Harry unconsciously loosened his grip and allowed the Snitch to escape far away.

He saw many people cheering and rushing toward him. Fred and George were so excited that they shed tears. Wood kept shouting. Cedric squeezed over and hugged him hard several times. Qiu Zhang was full of admiration.

Look at yourself.

In the distance is a big scoreboard of 350:360, which means that it was Harry who turned the tide and won the game.

"Harry Potter!"

"Harry Potter!"

I don't know since when, the audience spontaneously shouted Harry's name. He had long been known to wizards around the world because of the Grindelwald incident, and this time he conquered everyone with his impossible skills.

No one could imagine how Harry managed to catch the Golden Snitch when surrounded by five opponents. His figure was more agile than the scurrying Bludgers and extremely fast.

Finally, the players stepped aside and allowed James to come to Harry.

"Well done, Harry!" James was so excited that he couldn't control himself: "If Lily can also see this scene, if -"

"We won!" Harry interrupted quickly to prevent James from saying the wrong thing again.

James was stunned for a moment, then smiled happily.

"Yes, we won. It's time to celebrate. Come with me."

Harry climbed up from the grass and stepped onto the broom. He felt that a few of his ribs were broken from the celebration, but he didn't care.

The players of the Chudley Cannons began to circle the court to greet the audience. Harry couldn't help but think about it. He really wanted to tell the good news to the people he knew, Ron, Hermione and Professor Highmore.

It must be Professor Heimer, who single-handedly built this team. Without his help, Harry would not be able to enjoy this level of glory.

Moreover, anyway, Professor Heimer spared his father, which was a good thing. Harry never had time to thank him for it——

"hiss--"

A heartbreaking pain hit Harry, causing him to cover the scar on his forehead. If it weren't for the twins pretending to be bodyguards, Harry would have fallen off the broom.

This will definitely make headlines, as the Daily Prophet has indirectly ridiculed the fact that the players on the team are underage several times.

"Captain!" Fred said to James quickly: "There seems to be something wrong with Harry. Why don't you stop the celebration first-"

"I'm fine." Harry forced himself to say, cold sweat dripping from the hair on his forehead.

"Let's stop here." James' decision was decisive.

Fortunately, the twins always had fire dragon fireworks with them (I don’t know why they always have them during the game). They released all their inventory and made a fuss for a while before they were satisfied.

Harry was also taken back to the players' lounge by James.

"What's wrong with you? Let me check. Is your scar hurting?" James asked with a worried look on his face: "Is it Haierbo? Is he affecting you?"

"I don't know." Harry was in so much pain that he couldn't open his eyes. He felt that his whole body was in pain.

"What are you still waiting for?" Sirius, who followed him back from the auditorium, shouted loudly: "You can't just hope that Haierbo will let Harry go, right?"

"Hurry up and find Heimer—or Dumbledore. Stop standing there and leave!"

Sirius' words stopped Lupine who was about to speak.

"I thought you didn't want to see Toby." He said with a strange look in his eyes.

"That's why I added Dumbledore later." Sirius said angrily: "Hurry up, I don't know that the repaired disappearing cabinet doesn't work - it's fortunate that he didn't use Harry to do it.

What, otherwise I will never let him go."

In addition to the two people who were secretly protecting Lupine and Sirius, Toby also mended and repaired the vanishing cabinet that was destroyed at that time, letting them carry it with them at all times so that they could contact him at any time.

As for the one that Angela originally placed in Wagadu, Toby put it back in his office.

——

Hogwarts, Office of Ancient Magic.

Ron looked a little restless on the sofa.

He looked to his left at Ginny and Luna who were chatting quietly, and to his right at Angela who was sitting behind the desk reading a magazine.

"I thought they would send us home."

He muttered quietly, not daring to speak loudly.

Because this is Professor Heimer's ancient magic office, Ron can't help but become nervous every time he comes here, even if he knows that Professor Heimer is not here.

He took a sip of the lemonade that was used to entertain guests, and then walked to the desk with some caution.

"Professor Angela?"

Ron didn't know how to address him.

Fortunately, the first name alone is enough.

"What's wrong?" Angela's tone was a little uncomfortable.

She found nothing in the Castle of Death, so her mood was naturally not much better.

As for who Tom Riddle is, it has nothing to do with her at all.

Ron was a little frightened by the other party's tone.

He now had some doubts as to whether anyone who sat on that chair would become like this.

"Excuse me, has Professor Heimer written a new book?"

He hesitated and said: "I think Hermione might be very interested in this question, so I want to ask it for her."

"new book?"

Angela then remembered that Toby didn't write a new book last year. If he didn't write a new book this year, it would have an impact on this course, right?

"Probably." Angela also said with some uncertainty: "After all, Toby loves teaching so much, he will definitely not let you lack teaching materials."

Ron remains neutral on this statement.

"What about you?" Ron asked curiously: "Will you be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor next semester?"

"No." Angela shook her head: "I don't know who will be your new professor, but I think it won't be too bad."

Ron secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He still remembered the situation when Professor Angela gave them a substitute lesson. It was not easy at all.

"Any more questions?"

"Um, and Harry." Ron said honestly: "I know today is a crucial match for the Chudley Cannons, so I want to go home and listen to the radio, okay? I hope to know the result as soon as possible."

"No need to go to such trouble." Angela casually took out a copy of "The Quibbler" and handed it to Ron. "The latest news will be published in the magazine. Keep an eye on the first page and wait for it to change.

Can you know——"

Before Angela could finish telling the "result", the disappearing cabinet in the corner of the office suddenly opened, and then James hurriedly rushed in with Harry in his arms and shouted: "Where is Toby, where is he?"

"He's doing archeology."

Angela's answer left James confused. Ron quickly came over and explained: "It's probably related to the mysterious person. The process is very complicated - this is Harry, how did he become like this? It's a competition.

Were you injured?"

"Not exactly." James couldn't say more when he saw outsiders present - Ginny and Luna were walking towards them in surprise.

He asked again: "What about Dumbledore? Do you have a way to contact him?"

"He also ran away with Toby." Angela had already walked up to James, and she frowned and looked at Harry for a while.

"Put him on the couch."

Harry's consciousness gradually became blurred, and the dizziness from walking through the disappearing cabinet made him feel nauseous.

It would be better to die.

This thought suddenly came to Harry's mind. Just before he passed out, he suddenly felt a hand gently push his hands away and press them on his forehead.

In an instant, all that painful feeling disappeared.

Harry opened his eyes drowsily, and saw Professor Angela with a soft light in her hand, and many faces staring at him.

"You're awake, Harry." James asked excitedly, "Can you see who I am?"

"You are Captain Gjern." Fortunately, Harry changed his words in time, which also made James more sure that Harry was indeed safe and sound.

"I really don't know how to thank you." James said gratefully.

"Nothing." Angela took her palm back, but the expression on her face looked very serious, obviously not as relaxed as her tone showed.

Just when James wanted to ask the reason, a dazzling fire suddenly appeared in the center of the office. Toby strode out of the flames, Al standing on his shoulders.

Both of them looked disgraced, as if they had just finished a difficult duel.

"It just so happens that you are all here."

Toby said as soon as he opened his mouth, slowly turning his gaze to the people in the room, and finally fell on Harry's pale forehead.

"Gjeon, Harry, come in with me first. I have something to tell you."

He turned around and led a confused James into the bedroom, followed by a somewhat staggering Harry.

After a while, the two people returned to the living room with shocked faces.

Toby also walked out again and said: "Ginny, Luna, and Pandora, you guys come in too."

After they also accepted the confidential interview, Ron quickly asked Harry: "What happened? What did Professor Hemmer tell you? No - tell me first if you won."

"We won." Harry murmured unconsciously, as if even she didn't know what she said.

"Professor Heimer told me. He said that Halpo might be resurrected in me, and he would completely replace me because I don't seem to be an ordinary Horcrux, but alive. Halpo likes living Horcruxes. This won't be the case.

Really?"

Ron was speechless, he was completely frightened.

James also looked at his son with a complicated expression.

The bedroom door opened, and Ginny and Luna walked out with the same shocked expressions as the previous two people. Even Pandora, who was a notebook, kept screaming: "That's great! Why didn't I think of that?

How wonderful!”

"Ron Weasley." Toby called Ron's name.

"Huh?" Ron asked stupidly.

"Come in." Toby began to frown.

Ron didn't expect that he also needed to talk. He was already shocked before entering the door.

The two people who came out later sat opposite James and Harry. Ginny still looked shocked, while Luna had a look of confusion written all over her face.

"Can we know?" James suppressed his thoughts and asked, "Maybe what Toby said to you will also be relevant to us?"

"Oh, of course it's no problem."

It was Pandora who spoke. It could be seen that James was not too surprised by a notebook that could talk. He had seen too many unexpected things while following Halbo's orders.

"Toby said - he is really amazing - he said, maybe I am not a copy at all, but a real living person - can you understand? I am really Pandora, I am alive, it is unimaginable

——He also said that there might be a day when I can become a human again."

"Soul, no one knows what a soul is, but I believe Toby must have seen it with his own eyes, that's why he is so sure - do you have any relatives who want to be resurrected?"

"We-" James just replied when he felt something was wrong.

What is "us"?

"It seems like this is still a secret." Pandora smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you."

"What secret?" Ginny asked after regaining her composure: "Why can't I understand?"

"Ah, so you don't know." Luna still had the same dazed expression. She said in front of James and Harry, who looked horrified, "Gjeon is Harry's father. I've known it for a long time.

I thought you knew it too."

Ginny's eyes widened, and she glanced back and forth at Harry and James, who were equally shocked.

"What?!"
