Archaeologists at Hogwarts

"That's not fair."

Toby murmured in a low voice, and Al chuckled.

But Toby didn't complain for too long. He saw a very majestic mirror in this classroom, reaching the height of the ceiling, with a gorgeous golden frame, and two claw-shaped feet supporting it underneath.

It is the Mirror of Erised, which can reveal the deepest desires of the human heart.

"Shall we start now, principal?" Toby asked: "The final mechanism is fully arranged?"

Dumbledore said nothing, but there was a rush of footsteps in the corridor - Toby recognized that it was Harry's footsteps.

"Hide us," Dumbledore ordered.

The light of the magic circle flashed, and the three figures disappeared immediately.

The next second, Harry quietly walked into the house and found the Mirror of Erised.

He had just escaped the pursuit of Snape and Filch, but he did not see the devilish figure of Professor Heimer. Now he has gradually come back to his senses. He remembered that Professor Heimer was there in the first ancient magic class.

A fantasy was transformed.

In this way, Professor Heimer's devil is very likely to be fake.

But the unfortunate thing is that Harry was definitely discovered by Professor Heimer, so the other party would scare him like this.

This made Harry even more worried. He would rather Professor Highmore was really a devil than be punished.

Just when Harry was feeling distressed about this, he inadvertently glanced at the mirror opposite and almost screamed.

There were at least a dozen people standing behind him in the mirror.

Harry quickly checked, but there was no one behind him.

He saw the woman standing behind her in the mirror smiling and waving to him, and the tall, thin man with black hair standing next to her put his arms around her.

Harry got closer and closer to the mirror.

"Dad? Mom?" he asked.

Harry looked at his family in the mirror, unwilling to even blink.

Hidden Toby watched this scene quietly, Al sat on his shoulder and dozed off.

It wasn't until there was a sound in the distance that Harry realized that he couldn't stay in this room for long.

“I will come again.”

He whispered, then hurriedly left the room.

After the door was closed, the three figures reappeared.

Al had already fallen into a deep sleep, and the other two people also deliberately lowered their voices to talk so as not to wake it up.

"You seem to think highly of this boy, Headmaster. Is there anything you can say to me? Other than playing charades?"

"Sorry, Toby."

"No need to apologize, as long as you don't stop me from going to the Forbidden Forest again in the future. In my opinion, the identity of the fifth founder is far more important than the Boy Who Lived."

"If you insist... remember to respect the centaurs, that's what they value most."

"Of course, Principal, of course."

Toby slowly moved Al onto the flying carpet, floated beside him, and then walked towards the door.

Just before leaving, he turned around and saw himself in the mirror.

"The past... was nothing worth remembering."

He looked at himself in the mirror and said, then turned and left the classroom.

Dumbledore, who was left alone, also walked to the mirror. He sighed deeply, revealing his feelings of powerlessness and aging.

He said to himself in the mirror.

"Death is not terrible."

===============================

No matter what, Harry was still frightened by Professor Hemmer.

Early the next morning, Ron, who learned what had happened, took Harry into the auditorium. He continued to talk about his experience in confinement: "Don't look around or touch around, you know the sea."

How scary is the collection in Professor Mo’s office——”

"Stop talking." Harry suddenly interrupted.

Professor Heimer was walking towards them in the teacher's seat. Harry watched with fear as he got closer and closer to him, and finally stopped in front of the two of them.

"Have you finished your homework?" Toby asked.

"It's done!" Harry was so nervous that he almost screamed: "We finished the ancient magic homework on the first day of vacation!"

"very good."

Toby smiled with satisfaction, then turned to look at Ron: "Thank you for Mrs. Weasley's gift for me. It's a very creative sweater. Al also likes it."

Al has already put on the sweater gift given by Mrs. Weasley. It is a black and red one. Her workmanship is very exquisite, and Al wears it very well.

This was sent by Mrs. Weasley to thank Toby for helping Bill.

"Oh, no problem, Professor." Ron nodded quickly in agreement.

They watched Toby take Al out of the auditorium, and Harry couldn't believe it: "He really let me go!"

Ron held his chin and said, "It seems that Professor Heimer is always very tolerant of outstanding students. How about we work harder to learn magic circles, just like Hermione."

"Good idea, but we have to wait until breakfast is over first."

After finishing breakfast, the two of them patted their bulging bellies and looked at each other guiltily.

"Want to play wizard chess?"

"What about Nick Flamel? What about ancient magic?"

"Well... let's talk after we finish playing wizard chess? Just play for a while."

"All right."

They sat by the fireplace in the common room and had a good fight. After a while, Fred and George appeared.

"Want to have a snowball fight?"

"We'll deal with you two, and we can also give you Percy."

Percy, who was studying, had already changed into the sweater of the Weasley family. He said without raising his head: "I'm not going. Also, please keep your voice down and don't disturb me - eh! Let go! Let me go quickly!"

Fred and George lifted Percy up, and Ron and Harry looked at each other again.

"Want to go?"

"How about... go?"

"Well... then go!"

So they played from morning to noon, and after dinner they played until afternoon, forgetting all about study and Nico Flamel.

It wasn't until they met Professor Heimer again that they recalled the magic circle. However, Professor Heimer was walking outside the castle in the afternoon and didn't pay much attention to them.

"What is Professor Hemmer going to do?"

"I don't know, maybe it's going to Hogsmeade."

"Hogsmeade? What is that place?"

"Bang!" "Bang!"

The snowball hit Harry and Ron, and Percy was fighting against Fred and George alone. He shouted angrily: "Come and help quickly, don't be in a daze! I must teach them two a lesson today -

—”

"boom!"

Percy was also hit by a snowball.

On the other side, Toby was walking on the snow outside the castle with Al. They passed the station and walked into Hogsmeade village.

There is still a Christmas atmosphere here. Toby turned left and right on the street, and finally came to a small bar on a small road. A tattered wooden sign hung on a rusty bracket on the door, with a picture painted on it.

The wild boar's head was chopped off, and the blood stains penetrated the white cloth wrapping it.

As Toby approached, the sign creaked in the wind.

This is the Pig's Head Bar.

It's also a place that Weach said would have many interesting guests.
