Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 365 Beauxbatons and Durmstrang

The notice that appeared in the foyer had a clear impact on those who lived in the castle.

Especially Harry.

After learning that Krum was actually Durmstrang's student, Harry once again became the target of much attention - but it might just be because those fangirls wanted to take this opportunity to get close to him.

While avoiding trouble, Harry noticed that the castle seemed to be undergoing thorough cleaning. Several dirty portraits had been scrubbed clean, and the characters who had been scrubbed were very dissatisfied. They sat huddled in the picture frame, looking glum.

He grunted, grinning in pain every time he touched the newly exposed pink flesh on his face. Those armors suddenly became shiny and no longer creaked when moving. Administrator Argus

·When Filch saw that a student had forgotten to clean his shoes, he flew into a violent rage, scaring two first-year girls into hysteria.

Other teachers and staff also seemed extremely nervous.

"Weasley, please be kind and don't let you know that you don't even know a simple conversion spell!" Principal McGonagall yelled at Ron who was at a loss. Since she took office relatively suddenly, she had not yet mastered it.

There was no time to find a new professor of Transfiguration, so I had to take charge of the class myself.

Ron had plenty of excuses for this.

"After all, the dean is also the first time to be the principal. Anyone who encounters such a big thing when he first takes office will definitely not be so relaxed."

"But you turned the wand held by the sculpture into gold." Harry said with a strange look in his eyes: "How short of money are you?"

"There must be no famous football star with money." Ron hummed.

In addition to Dean McGonagall, even Professor Heimer did not let them go.

When the students learned that their ancient magic class homework had not been reduced at all, they finally understood that no matter what happened, they could not stop Professor Heimer's determination to let them study hard.

"I'm not going to be locked up in front of students from other schools, am I?" Ron kept wailing.

"I think Professor Heimer is more likely to treat us equally." Harry analyzed calmly.

"What's the meaning?"

"Perhaps students from other schools will also be detained by Professor Heimer."

This doesn't sound impossible.

Ron looked at Harry blankly for a while, and murmured: "Probably not. If this is really the case, can the principals of the two schools agree?"

Hermione, who was reading the history of the Goblin War, suddenly said: "When have you ever seen Professor Highmore ask for permission from others - except Dumbledore, and Dumbledore is no longer at Hogwarts."

No matter how amazed Ron was in his heart, Hogwarts would inevitably arrive a week later.

When the students went downstairs for breakfast, they found that the Great Hall had been decorated overnight. Huge silk banners were hung on the walls, each one representing a house of Hogwarts: the red one with a golden lion was Grant

Fendo, the blue one with a bronze eagle is Ravenclaw, the yellow one with a black badger is Hufflepuff, the green one with a silver boa constrictor is Slytherin. Behind the staff desk, hanging

Holding the largest banner, above is the crest of Hogwarts: lion, eagle, badger, and snake joined together, surrounding a large letter H.

This made the students feel a lot more happy during class. In class, no one was paying attention to the class. Everyone was thinking that people from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang were coming tonight.

Of course, this must exclude ancient magic classes.

This week happens to be the time to test the Patronus Charm.

Professor Heimer really moved all the flame balls back to the classroom and kept shouting at them: "You definitely don't want to greet the guests in disgrace, right? Now it's time to test your learning results, everyone.

To pass through the flame ball unharmed - you should be grateful that you have such an opportunity. If it weren't for Principal McGonagall's strong obstruction, I would have set up this link in the greeting process!"

Many people stared at him with wide eyes because of these words. Toby said in a very natural tone: "What's wrong? Just think of it as asking for information for you in advance, and take a good look at the level of those people."

Fortunately, no one dared to ignore Professor Heimer's instructions, and each of them successfully passed through the flame ball, indicating that these students still had the possibility to learn the Patronus Charm.

"Very good." Toby was very satisfied with the students' performance.

He kindly asked the students to finish class half an hour early - this was the school's original arrangement, otherwise the guests might have to wait for Professor Heimer's arrival.

After the students left the classroom in a hurry, Toby put away the teaching tools and returned to the ancient magic office alone.

Al and Angela are waiting for him.

When Toby came back, they immediately turned to look at each other and said like a barrage of words: "Are you really going to attend?"

"Yeah [Don't go, Toby]."

"If you ask me, you might as well just call in sick."

"Yeah [I also think you don't need to see Madame Maxime. What should you do if you make her angry?]"

In Toby's long past, he always annoyed some people for various reasons.

This includes the headmaster of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry—Olim Maxim.

In fact, to be precise, Madame Maxime was completely implicated by her school.

Toby was still young at that time. When he stayed in France, he personally went to the place where Grindelwald gave a speech, and then wanted to visit this equally famous school to see how they lost at Hogwart.

What time is it?

What's wrong with Hogwarts? With this attitude, he can't be welcomed, not to mention that he doesn't have a serious identity, not even a curse breaker.

So Toby played a little prank to avenge himself for being unpopular.

This was of course the wrong thing to do, but after all, Toby was still young at the time, and he had countless excuses to excuse himself—well, he wasn't exactly a good person then, even though he doesn't fit that description now.

But through some clues, Mrs. Maxim still knew who the culprit was, but at that time they could no longer catch Toby, who had left France long ago, so they could only reluctantly issue a ban-forever.

This man named Toby Highmore is not allowed to set foot in Beauxbatons.

"Aren't you very popular there?" Toby looked at Angela and said, "Isn't this kind of problem simple? As long as you take the initiative and say a few nice words, it's all over."

"Um," Angela explained hesitantly: "You may have underestimated the impact of your actions. They should be the first people in the outside world to call you the Black Devil."

"Well" Toby rubbed his chin and stared at them for a while.

"So how long do you plan to wait?" He suddenly asked: "Hurry up, it will be too late. Also, Al, remember to put on your tuxedo and make it more formal."

It seemed that he was determined to attend.

Well, this is very Toby Highmore, never afraid of any problem.

When a group of them arrived in the foyer, Principal McGonagall was waiting for them with a serious face.

"Vice Principal Heimer."

Toby almost thought McGonagall was possessed by Dumbledore.

"You are now the vice principal of Hogwarts, how can you be so careless?"

"It's not because he hasn't done a few good things before." Angela muttered softly.

"Huh?" Mag looked at Angela for a moment, and then slowly turned his gaze to Toby, gradually having a bad premonition in his heart.

"Vice Principal Heimer"

"It's time to go, principal, don't wait here." Toby interrupted in time: "We can't let the guests greet us instead, right?"

No matter how bad things were, Mag couldn't do such a thing.

They came to the grass outside the foyer. The students had already arrived early. The little ones were shivering from the cold night, but many people gathered around Hermione.

"Stop squeezing, stop squeezing." Hermione said awkwardly, "How many fire bottles can I make?"

Ron hugged the one in his arms tightly, and warned the students who were watching eagerly: "That's right, no one can take this one from me!"

"Hey!" Harry said with a red face: "Who is it? Who is sneaking on me? I'm warning you not to mess around!"

"Professor Heimer is here!"

The group of people immediately dispersed and ran away. Ron said sharply: "Why is there a girl whose face is so red?"

When the two principals came to the front of the crowd, all the people finally became quiet.

Angela stayed behind with Al in a tuxedo. The two guys were still muttering and discussing how to solve the problem if Mrs. Maxim came to settle a score with Toby.

"If it doesn't work out, I will have no choice but to go to Beauxbatons and become the vice-principal." Angela said reluctantly, "But I still don't want to go. Beauxbatons is not as comfortable as Hogwarts."

When going to Beauxbatons on behalf of Wagadu, Angela was strongly invited by Madame Maxime because of her unique magical talent, but she declined.

"Yeah." Al said disdainfully: "[That's because you don't have to do anything at Hogwarts, not as busy as me, the Sniff.]"

"There are several people who are busier than you." Angela snorted and said, "I found that you and Toby have long been unlike archaeologists. One is more like an educator, and the other has become a complete entrepreneur.

.”

Al was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth proudly.

The Black Devil Foundation has many industries and is gradually expanding - what Toby learned from Muggles is very useful and very helpful in making money.

At this time, they heard Toby standing in front suddenly shout to the students: "They are coming."

"Huh?" Mag calmly pushed up her glasses. Her mouth did not move, but she made a slight questioning sound from her throat: "Did you see it? In which direction?"

Slughorn on the other side also asked in the same way: "How come your eyes are so good? I guess they are much better than Albus."

There was also an unfriendly whisper coming from behind them.

"Otherwise, how could he get into so much trouble? Sometimes having too good eyesight is not a good thing—"

"It's right there!" Toby interrupted Moody's words in time. He pointed to a direction in the sky and said, "It's right there!"

What he meant was indeed correct.

A huge thing floated over the Forbidden Forest - a pink-blue carriage as big as a house flew towards them. Twelve winged horses pulled it into the sky. They were all silver-maned horses. Each horse

They are all about the size of an elephant.

The carriage flew lower and was landing at an extremely fast speed. Then, with an earth-shaking loud noise, the horses' hooves fell to the ground with a thud. Each one was as big as a vegetable plate. In the blink of an eye, the carriage also landed.

The ground was shaking on the huge wheels, and at the same time the golden horses were shaking their huge heads, and their big fiery red eyes were spinning.

These animals are all Pegasus, but they are also very rare rune horses that only drink pure malt whiskey.

Toby looked a little unnatural when he saw these Pegasus - he seemed to be tempted to snicker.

Fortunately, Principal McGonagall didn't notice this scene. She was shaking hands with the tall lady who came down from the carriage and saying hello to her.

"Long time no see, Olim."

"Yes, long time no see, Minerva, you are already the Headmaster of Hogwarts - and you have a new deputy."

Although she is very tall, Madame Maxime is also very elegant.

Then all this elegance disappeared the moment he saw Toby, and his eyes couldn't stop spitting out anger, as if he wanted to burn Toby alive.

Mag didn't understand what was going on, but she knew it was definitely not good.

"I don't think there is any need for us to lose face in front of the students," she admonished.

"I agree with the principal's statement." Toby showed a big smile, which made Mrs. Maxim, who had finally resigned herself to anger, become dizzy with anger.

"Toby, Heimer." She said through gritted teeth, but she did not forget to maintain her grace. Fortunately, everyone else was far away from them, otherwise they might not know what they would think - maybe there wouldn't be too much trouble at Hogwarts.

Big problem.

After all, he is Professor Heimer, and none of his former "old friends" seem to get along well.

Fortunately, another burst of noise appeared in time, interrupting Madame Maxime's condemnation.

A mast was raised on the surface of the Black Lake, and then a magnificent ship rose out of the water and shone in the moonlight. It looked weird, like a skeleton, as if it was a ship that had just been salvaged.

The remains of the sunken ship, the portholes shone with a dim, misty light, looking like the eyes of a ghost. Finally, with a splashing sound, the ship emerged completely, bumping on the undulating water, and began to

Driving towards the lake shore. A moment later, they heard a splash and an iron anchor was thrown into the shallow water, and then another slap and a wooden plank was put on the lake shore.

The people on the boat were disembarking, and Madame Maxime had to turn back and look at Durmstrang's people - these people were all wearing a kind of fur cloak with shaggy and tangled fur.

Except for the leader, the material of this man's cloak is very noble, soft and smooth, much like his hair.

The students who originally planned to look at Krum were all attracted by this man. Principal McGonagall held up her glasses in disbelief, as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

Toby's face darkened in an instant, as if there was a thick black fog hovering above his head, and there was a faint sound of death horns.

The visitor has long golden hair, which is very loose. Now it is scattered and hanging in front of his eyes, blocking his very beautiful blue eyes.

This man, who was clearly imitating Toby, showed a smile that had won several Best Smile Awards, with sparkling white teeth.

Then, a low greeting came from Gilderoy Lockhart's mouth.

"Long time no see, Principal McGonagall. And you, Toby Highmore."

"It's been a long time no see."
