Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 350 Unexpected Development

"Toby, are you taking me away from my daughter? Hi, Dumbledore, it seems like we haven't seen each other for a long time - whose furry little hands belong to you, Al? Are they you?"

Toby quickly took Pandora's notebook over, while Dumbledore stood aside and watched, while Al rushed over with his teeth and claws angrily.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" It was so angry that it couldn't even speak clearly.

"Think you are stupid? How could you? Luna and I both like you very much. I think there must be some misunderstanding."

"Tell me first." Toby asked cautiously: "How on earth did you find the invisibility cloak I left in the box?"

The notebook was silent for a while.

Just when Al thought something bad would happen, Pandora suddenly said: "Let me think about it carefully, how to explain this? When you stopped the little boy, he was taken away by you later.

Draco - He accidentally lifted your invisibility cloak. Of course, except for little Barty under the other invisibility cloak, I don't think anyone can find out about it. But I am different. You can't ask for a notebook.

My field of view is too narrow, I know it sounds funny, but I often notice details that others can’t, and I think that’s the benefit of having a notebook.”

"But you don't want to stay like this forever." Toby sharply pointed out Pandora's thoughts: "You want to restore your original appearance and no longer be a notebook."

"I just want to hug my daughter again." Pandora explained helplessly: "But the notebook has no arms, and it's difficult for me to invent any spells like this. I use my daughter's wand as a nose poke.

Weapons are already the greatest capability."

"Profoundly touching." Dumbledore commented.

Toby gave him a strange look, as if to say which side you are on.

Dumbledore took a step back, indicating that he had no intention of intervening in this matter. After all, even Pandora was resurrected by Toby himself.

This is Toby's problem alone.

"You want the scepter?" Toby asked again: "Why don't you just tell me?"

"Because I noticed that you deliberately wanted me to avoid contact with those dangerous existences." Pandora's tone became even more helpless: "Especially the place related to my origin - I mean the Castle of Death. In that beautiful place

You didn't reply to me until the girl took us there."

Toby sighed: "Because I can't be sure what will happen next. It would be terrible if the owner of the castle wants to take you back - although I am not sure whether there is such a so-called owner."

Pandora was very interested in this topic: "Who is the five-legged invisible man? Is it just the housekeeper?"

Toby and Dumbledore looked at each other, and he asked curiously: "How do you know it's human? Couldn't it be a five-legged monster? After all, the characteristics of the two are so similar."

"Even if it is a five-legged monster, it must have been transformed by a wizard." Pandora said confidently: "I can feel this. It is difficult to explain it to you - I probably guessed that Gjeon is Harry's father.

For a reason, Luna also inherited my talent, which is very useful when inventing spells and will provide endless inspiration."

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps from the edge of the woods.

"Someone is coming." Toby glanced at Dumbledore and said, and then he immediately took action, as if he had rehearsed countless times in advance - he very quickly hid little Barty's sleeping body, and not only covered it again

Under the invisibility cloak, the smell is also eliminated.

When he looked back, he saw that Dumbledore was helping Luna get rid of the blood on her hands and clothes.

Luna looked up at Dumbledore and asked in a daze: "Headmaster, do you know how to make a notebook grow arms?"

Dumbledore exchanged a look with Toby. He did not correct Luna's wrong name, but replied gently: "I think this problem can be solved easily. I believe it won't be long before Pandora can fulfill her wish."

.”

"It's not that easy." Toby frowned and retorted: "Luna, don't listen to his nonsense, and don't have any hope. He is going to be the Minister of Magic soon and has nothing to do with the school. As for

Pandora’s matter—wait a minute, why are you so sure that the scepter can help you?”

He suddenly asked Pandora this question.

"Because I remember that there is a monster alive in your scepter." Pandora said surprisingly: "At least it is alive, and it should have arms, right?"

Toby didn't want to know Pandora's next thoughts at all, and he decided that no matter what happened, he would not lend Pandora the scepter.

Fortunately, the footsteps were getting closer and closer at this time, and the visitor also noticed that there were other people present deep in the dense forest.

"Dumbledore."

"Crouch." Toby interrupted first: "Barty Crouch Sr., Director of the International Magical Cooperation Department of the Ministry of Magic, if I remember correctly, you should be thinking of ways to entertain the Bulgarian minister now.

Yes, after all he is so dissatisfied with Fudge——"

"You don't need to worry about my affairs." Old Batty said with a cold face. His eyes swept around, as if he was looking for something, and his appearance was not as upright as before, and his hair looked a little...

Messy.

It was as if he had just lost a lot of anger.

"No, you didn't understand what I meant." Toby added: "I mean, the Bulgarian minister was dissatisfied with Fudge's performance, and then Fudge disappeared - you should know about this, right? Don't you just

Are you not suspicious of the Bulgarian minister’s motives? What if he is a person who cannot easily accept humiliation?”

"I think you two are more like murderers." Old Batty's eyes were filled with anger: "If there wasn't a child present, I would definitely find someone to arrest you -"

"Don't worry about it," Dumbledore said abruptly.

Toby turned his gaze, he wanted to see how Dumbledore would resolve this matter - Barty Sr. was obviously here for Barty Jr.

"El." Dumbledore ordered: "Please take Ms. Lovegood away now."

Al said "Yeah". Although Dumbledore ordered it this way, the one standing on Luna's shoulder looked like the guy who needed protection the most.

Old Barty did not stop this scene. He saw that Dumbledore had something to say to him.

After Luna walked away holding the notebook, Dumbledore turned around and lifted up the traces that Toby had tried so hard to cover up, revealing the unconscious Barty Crouch Jr. underneath.

Old Batty's face turned extremely pale in an instant.

"You know everything?" He asked in a hoarse voice: "When?"

"Just now," Dumbledore said, "I just found out that he is still alive, and I also remember that your wife has not been seen in public for a long time, especially after the news about little Barty's identity.

After the news of his death"

Barty Crouch Sr. stared at Barty Jr. on the ground, his eyes full of resentment and anger.

"I will send him back to Azkaban." Dumbledore said as if announcing something.

"I hope you can execute him directly." Old Barty said viciously: "Even if it's a kiss from a dementor, it will make his life worse than death. As for me, I will surrender voluntarily, so you don't need to worry.

Already."

Toby probably guessed that Dumbledore would take advantage of Barty Jr. in this way.

Because even if Scrimgeour acquiesced to Dumbledore's position as minister, there would still be many voices in the Ministry of Magic - one of the more powerful ones was Barty Crouch Sr.

He also ran for the ministerial position with Fudge, and the voice was very high at the time, and he almost won. Unfortunately, his son was later discovered to be a Death Eater, which completely ruined his future, and he could only remain in the army.

Department of International Magical Cooperation.

However.

"No." Dumbledore said in an unquestionable tone: "You will not surrender. After I become Minister, I will propose to remove the Dementors who are holding on to Azkaban. At that time, I will need your support.

, and then you will arrange this matter, help me guard the most vicious prisoners in the wizarding world, and you can continue to stay with your children - I know you don't like him, but I believe you still love your wife

of."

He walked over and said in a serious tone: "Maybe it's a little late now, but my condolences, Old Barty."

——

"He actually agreed?"

On the way back, Toby still couldn't believe what he saw: "Old Batty actually agreed to work for you. Are you actually willing to accept such a subordinate? I thought Mundungus was the bottom line -"

"Don't think that I don't know who you want to talk about." Dumbledore smiled and said: "Severus Snape, you think he is the bottom line. Not only you, there are many people who have taken care of me.

Severus has an opinion, but some things are not that simple. Whether it is Voldemort or Grindelwald that we want to defeat, it is not simple, not to mention that we now have a powerful enemy named Herbo."

What an unexpected development.

Toby said sarcastically: "I think your bottom line is quite loose. If it were me -"

Dumbledore turned and stared at Toby, acting as if he really wanted to listen to Toby's thoughts and wanted to know how he would deal with this matter.

"I will imprison both father and son in Azkaban." Toby hummed. "By the way, I will also open a bet to see who can survive in the end between the two of them. This can also help the fund."

It will earn more money.”

Dumbledore shook his head in disappointment.

He was not disappointed by Toby's answer, but saw that it was not Toby's true thoughts.

"Remember to keep her in Hogwarts." Dumbledore finally ordered in his usual tone: "Otherwise she will starve to death outside."

Toby shouted into the burning fire: "You are no longer the principal, don't order me like this!"

But the flame still disappeared from his eyes.

The poor elf Twinkle, whose face was covered with tears, was crying. When she raised her head and looked at Toby's gloomy face, she was immediately frightened and started to cry loudly.

"It's really troublesome." Toby said impatiently. He opened the suitcase and kept urging: "Go in, go in!"

He shouted again to Dobby, who was looking up from inside the box: "This is a new employee, keep an eye on her and don't let her have the chance to commit suicide - she was just kicked out of the house by a perverted old owner."

"Mr. Crouch is not a pervert."

Shining's protest was cut off in the suitcase. Toby fastened the buttons. He stood up and saw Al rushing back not far away.

"The players were celebrating and asked me if I wanted to go over? Is Blake there too? Not there? Then let's go over and have a look."

Al asked again about the outcome of the incident just now. When he learned that Old Barty was actually willing to work for Dumbledore, he immediately screamed in surprise.

"Yes, I know." Toby said in a considerate tone: "Anyone can be the director of the International Magic Cooperation Department, but not the warden of Azkaban. Crouch is a very good person.

He is a very capable candidate, he almost became the Minister of Magic, and he easily eliminated a potential enemy. Perhaps the headmaster should have gone to work in the Ministry of Magic as soon as possible - eh, isn't this Dean?"

Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnigan are both Harry's roommates and Gryffindor students.

Dean seemed to have heard about Seamus' interrogation. At first, he tried to fool him by pretending that he had not heard, and planned to quickly get back into the tent.

But Professor Heimer always has some surprising methods.

Before Dean could slip away a few steps, he tripped over something. He could only catch a glimpse of a black shadow, something like a rope, but he couldn't be sure.

"Teaching professor?"

This time Dumbledore was not present, and Toby gave Dean a thorough cross-examination before letting him go.

"Hey, isn't that the Malfoy family? Are you leaving now?"

The Malfoys were leaving with a pale Draco. Lucius walked quickly after seeing Toby appear, almost pulling Draco to run quickly. Narcissa shook her handbag and caught up quickly.

I didn't even dare to look back for a second look.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk" Toby was blocked by the cheering crowd after chasing a few steps. He shook his head regretfully and glanced to the side, only to see Justin Finch-Fletchley of Hufflepuff.

This is a strong young man eating a big meal of barbecue.

Justin was thinking that he might be able to find a chance to sneak a few sips of beer when a shadow suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Teaching professor?"

It seems like every student stutters after meeting Toby.

Moreover, in this camp that is about to leave, there are many more Gryffindor students than Toby imagined.

As a result, many children's dreams were not interrupted, or the smiles on their faces became stiff - almost none of them were spared, and they all remembered the fear they felt when they saw Professor Heimer for the first time.

It took a full two hours before Toby rushed back to the players' tent.

Angela was leaning on the door frame, and she looked very happy even if she only showed her back.

"What's wrong?" Toby walked over and asked.

Angela shushed and pointed at Harry, whose face was red in the room. She didn't know whether it was because of nervousness or accidentally drinking too much - James seemed to have really let go and actually stood up for these underage students.

They prepared a lot of beer, which made Al scream in pain.

"Can you be my girlfriend?"

The room was quiet for a while.

It wasn't until Qiu Zhang nodded shyly that the cheers started again.

Toby looked at Harry and Qiu hugging each other, and then glanced at James who was so moved that he couldn't help himself.

"It's so unexpected."
