Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 361 Harry is in trouble

This strange professor's idea seemed too sudden, and Harry was stunned for a few seconds before finally coming back to his senses.

"The Triwizard Tournament? I'm participating in the Triwizard Tournament? But I'm not old enough at all."

"You don't need to worry about this matter. I'm sure I can make you the chosen player."

"But this is totally against the rules."

"I have done a lot of things that are against the rules. You can't ask Aurors to look kindly in front of bad people. This is the real violation of rules."

"Wait a minute!" Harry suddenly asked: "Is this what Dumbledore meant?"

He agreed to stay and talk because he guessed that what Moody was going to say would probably be related to Dumbledore.

"Dumbledore is very busy."

Moody replied meaningfully: "I think he should have this intention. But for some reasons, he can't break up with Haimer for the time being, so these things can only be decided by myself.

.”

"Then he just didn't agree?"

Harry didn't want to stay any longer. He said hurriedly: "I'm sorry, I still have to fall in love now. I'm also very busy."

He walked away in a hurry, and even though he had turned around, he could still feel Moody's magic eye staring at his back.

"It seems that you have already chosen which side you want to stand on."

Harry vaguely heard Moody say, and now he gradually understood.

Since Dumbledore left Hogwarts, more and more people have been eyeing Professor Helmer.

And inexplicably, Moody regarded him as someone on Professor Hemmer's side.

But it is true that Harry will certainly trust Professor Heimer more than this rash new professor.

When Harry shared this incident with his other two friends, he was very happy to see that they thought the same way.

"Isn't this obvious?" Ron said angrily: "That person is obviously here for Professor Heimer. You definitely can't agree to him."

"Oh?" Hermione said with a strange look in her eyes: "Why do I think you are so angry because you were not selected?"

No matter what, Harry at least confirmed two more people on his side.

He took out his class schedule and looked through it briefly, and found that the Defense Against the Dark Arts class would only be held until Thursday, while the Ancient Magic class would be held much earlier than that - it would be tomorrow.

"Did you go to see Professor Highmore?" Harry asked casually: "Did he let you see Dobby?"

"Not yet." Hermione said as if she had thought carefully about it: "I plan to wait until my performance is better in class tomorrow before asking. This should be able to help a lot more."

Harry and Ron looked at each other.

Since Professor Haimer didn't come to see these two people, they might as well wait until tomorrow.

Early the next morning, the atmosphere in the Gryffindor common room was very solemn. This atmosphere was carried to the auditorium where they had breakfast, where they joined the students from the other three houses.

Everyone knows that this year's ancient magic class is about to start again.

In the past three years, this group of students has finally withstood the test of the magic circle, the duel with the mummy rooster, witnessed the terrifying devil, and the mysterious and mysterious magic.

They have all even previewed the new textbook, that is, "Ancient Magic and Ancient Wizards."

Although this may seem like part of a History of Magic lesson, they are not so naive as to think that is all there is to it - Professor Hemmer is best at creating unexpected lessons.

For this reason, they had brought their magic array items early and placed them where they could be taken out at any time or where they could be seen at a glance, and they were already prepared to encounter illusions or duel with the devil.

Maybe we should also add Professor Highmore's performance at the Quidditch World Cup - countless mummies would rush towards them, while Professor Highmore would stand aside and rate them based on the number of opponents they defeated. Those who were unqualified

Have to do it again.

All in all, in the face of the unknown ancient magic class, even the students of Gryffindor and Slytherin temporarily put aside their prejudices against each other. They walked into the classroom without saying a word and chose their seats one by one to sit down - Germany

Laco didn't even look at Harry and Ron. He was working hard to seize the position of minister of the Black Devil Club and was determined to completely defeat the hateful female minister-Luna Lovegu.

Germany.

In such an extremely depressing atmosphere, Toby walked into the classroom with a kind smile and stood behind the podium.

"Long time no see, my dear students."

He preached very kindly: "Before the class officially starts, I have one more thing to inform you - Professor Angela, I think you have already met her. In this semester, she will also become my

One of the assistants. Okay, let’s get back to the topic.”

"We have studied ancient magic courses together for three full years, and now you should all understand the purpose of my courses - first the magic circle items, which became a substitute for the scepter, and then, in your third

In the second academic year, you have all successfully passed the preliminary test of the patron saint, proving that you all have sufficient willpower. The next step is ritual magic."

"In the last semester, you learned a lot about how to use ritual magic, including simple divination, and how to truly understand your magic circle items. Maybe some smart students have also thought of some of the connections between ritual magic and the full moon.

.”

"Now, please allow me the honor to announce that it is time to continue to deepen the research on ritual magic - this is an unavoidable point in ancient magic, and it is also earlier than the emergence of magic circles."

"The most important thing is that this is also related to the law of conservation of magic."

When Professor Heimer said these last words, the already quiet classroom suddenly became even more depressing.

"Miss Granger."

Toby noticed the eager look in her eyes. If only in class, this kind of student would be quite likable.

"Explain what the law of conservation of magic is."

Hermione stood up immediately and spoke as fast as a cannon: "The law of conservation of magic means that the total amount of magic that can be used in the entire magical world is fixed, never less, and never suddenly more.

Some of them came out. Some were cast into spells, and some were made into magic items. Especially the accumulation of ancient magic items has caused the decline of the level of the magic world today. These are what I saw in the newspapers."

"The answer is absolutely correct, five points from Gryffindor."

Toby ignored Hermione's pause, which was just a matter of guessing the weight of his role as an archaeologist.

"Then can anyone tell me if there is a way to break this restriction?"

One person immediately raised his hand high.

Toby pointed out the other person's name with interest: "Mr. Malfoy."

"No, Professor!" Draco couldn't wait to show all his abilities to Toby, and he answered loudly on purpose: "There is no way, this balance cannot be broken!"

"Very good. It seems that you have also prepared your homework well." Toby said happily: "Slytherin will also get five points. Please sit down."

Draco's head was raised high, as if he wanted to continue to answer questions, which shocked Harry and Ron who turned their heads.

Toby, who was behind the podium, continued to conclude: "As these two students have just answered, the law of conservation of magic cannot be broken. It has also brought countless restrictions to the entire magical world, the most obvious of which is today's wizards.

It will be difficult for us to cast the powerful spell of more than a thousand years ago."

"For example, the Patronus Charm."

"I know that there are still wizards who can cast the Patronus Charm, but no one can summon a giant-sized Patronus anymore. Although they have not been able to break the restrictions of the Law of Conservation of Magic, they have broken through the wizard's own

Binding - I guess this is also related to the law of conservation of magic. They have also studied this law, but it is a pity that the final gain is only reflected in themselves."

"This will also be our main course this semester - studying those extremely powerful ancient wizards. It is best - please note that there are no strict requirements for this - it is best to allow you to discover it yourself.

Limit yourself and try to break through it.”

Very rarely, students found that Professor Heimer had relaxed the requirements for exam content for the first time.

But their hearts were not relaxed at all.

Purposeful exams have some limitations, but purposeless exams are the scariest thing - endless assignments and courses, all of which have to be accompanied by Professor Heimer.

"It seems you have already understood part of it."

Toby smiled and said: "Yes, this is a very vivid example. I am your limit in the law of magic conservation. As for how many people can break it, it depends on you."

He looked at the students' reactions with satisfaction, once again showing the true nature of the Black Devil.

"Very well, let's start with the invincible Andros."

——

The terrifying ancient magic lesson is back to its essence.

There were no fancy tricks, no loud reprimands, not even Mr. Al and Ms. Angela.

Some of it was just Professor Heimer's non-stop gentle voice, coupled with a desperate workload - many people were used to being assigned magic homework, and completely forgot that ancient magic courses also required writing papers.

After the bell rang, Toby said very kindly: "Let's preach here today. Don't forget to hand in your homework before the next class - the Patronus Curse, Andros, and the guess about the Giant's Patronus respectively.

Three papers, each at least seven inches long. By the way, don’t forget to go back and review the Patronus Charm. I will retest you in the next class to see if you can pass the flame ball again - that’s all.”

What he said to Dean McGonagall was absolutely correct - the first day alone was enough to make these students completely unforgettable.

They couldn't help but wonder if the semester had just started or was the final exam approaching?

After the heavy-headed students left the classroom, Toby, who originally planned to leave, noticed that there were still people left.

"I really didn't know you were so easy to learn. If you have any questions, just ask."

Hermione's heart skipped a beat. Professor Hemmer had made the atmosphere so tense that it seemed impossible not to ask questions.

Harry and Ron were also stunned. They looked at Draco on the other side, wondering why this guy was here?

Draco rushed forward without hesitation, without any intention of making it easier for the other three.

"Professor." He braced himself and said, "I'm going to ask, will this year's selection of the Black Devil Club be the same as last year?"

"It stands to reason, that's right."

Toby rubbed his chin and said: "But you should have seen, Mr. Malfoy, that it is difficult enough just to cope with the courses this semester, so I am also considering whether to do it in another way-for example, relaxing the requirements for

Requirements for students in fourth grade and above. After all, you are all learning the course content at the same pace, so it still depends on your final performance. As long as you can achieve that impossible goal, you, or anyone else

Every student has a chance to be qualified."

"Otherwise, I will have no choice but to let Luna stay on - the anti-monster glasses are gaining momentum, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for any other product to beat them."

I don't know if Draco heard all these words. He nodded heavily and left the classroom confidently, heading towards the library.

"It seems he has learned his lesson thoroughly."

Toby looked back with satisfaction, and his tone suddenly became stern: "What about you? You are hesitating. I advise you to confess. Don't tell me that you got into big trouble just after school started!"

Hermione and Ron were frightened, as if they were not in trouble and the crime was not light.

Harry's heart pounded the loudest. He already suspected that Professor Hemmer had guessed something - including James' instructions and Moody's private conversation.

"That's not the case, Professor." Hermione quickly clarified. She quickly explained her little idea - that is, she planned to help the house elves fight for more rights, and she very much needed Dobby's help.

.

Toby's eyes gradually became weird. He had thought about asking Hermione to do this at the Quidditch World Cup, but now the other party took the initiative to bring it up before he even mentioned it.

"It sounds reasonable," Toby asked after listening to Hermione's story, "But then what? Have you ever thought about a reasonable salary? Do you think there are wizards willing to pay them?"

"These are still being planned." Hermione replied guiltily.

"Then you will encounter a lot of problems." Toby said not very satisfied: "I can let you see Dobby, but this is not as easy as you think, and some people will not allow it -

This is a problem left over from history and no one can completely solve it."

"Okay, it's your turn, boys."

"I just want to ask," Ron asked nervously, "Professor, when will you arrange for me to study devils?"

Unexpectedly, Toby replied: "This matter may have to wait for a while. The Triwizard Tournament has taken up a lot of my energy, and it is difficult to spare time these days."

Ron didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction with Professor Heimer's decision. He just felt a little strange in his heart, as if Professor Heimer was deliberately stalling for time.

Finally, Toby's eyes fell on Harry.

Harry stood there extremely confused, his hands clenched into fists.

Should he confess to Professor Heimer?
