Archaeologists at Hogwarts

The Philosopher's Stone by Nick Flamel.

This means endless lifespan and countless gold. Even if Toby walks away from now on, as long as he can find a foolproof hiding place, he will probably be able to spend the rest of his life in a way that almost all wizards would envy.

of hundreds of years.

After all, Nick Flamel and Albus Dumbledore are both so old that no one knows how long they can live.

As for the reason why Nico Flamel would give the Philosopher's Stone to Dumbledore, it is clearly written on the chocolate frog picture - [His success in alchemy with his partner Nico Flamel].

This may be another collaboration between the two, and the Philosopher's Stone undoubtedly has sufficient research value.

Al raised his head and looked at Toby, his dark little eyes blinking constantly. He quietly took a few steps forward, trying to get the magic stone back and stuff it into his pocket again.

"I just know how to cause trouble."

Toby pushed Al back with his fingers. He put the Sorcerer's Stone in the pocket of his witch robe, patted it twice, and ignored Al's struggle and said: "Don't be so whimsical, you can also dare to use Dumbledore's things."

Steal, he is still alive, and Hogwarts has not become an ancient relic, so there is no need for us to go archaeologically now."

"Don't forget our experience in Europe these years, Al, we all know what a terrible enemy Grindelwald is, but he has been imprisoned in Nurmengard, and Voldemort is also unknown whether he is alive or dead in the Wizarding War.

Only Dumbledore is still alive and well."

"Let's go."

Toby comforted Al for a while and let him jump on his shoulder. Al deliberately turned away and ignored him, still sulking.

But Toby still insisted: "It's time to report to Hogwarts early. I planned to delay it for a while."

"But you have given me a reason to go see Dumbledore."

Toby set off quickly. He strode along Diagon Alley without seeing Hagrid and Harry. They were probably still walking through the corridors.

When Toby returned to the Leaky Cauldron, he unexpectedly discovered that Quirrell was back again. But when Quirrell saw Toby, he gave up taking only a small sip of the drink and ran away in a hurry.

"Don't go!"

Toby shouted, but Quirrell didn't even look back.

"New colleagues are really difficult to deal with."

Toby shook his head helplessly and said.

He borrowed some floo powder from Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron, and sprinkled it on the fire in the fireplace, and a green flame suddenly rose from inside.

Toby walked straight into the fire, shouted "Hogwarts" and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Toby was surrounded by flames, and he vaguely saw some wizard's rooms as he spun around. They all flashed past before he could see clearly. Then he spun slowly, and Al shook his head vigorously, and used his little hand to control the room.

Brush the dust clean.

Finally, Toby appeared in the vice-principal's office at Hogwarts. Professor McGonagall, who was working, glanced at him, and Toby also saw him.

"Long time no see, Professor McGonagall."

"Yes, Toby, I thought you were dead. There has been no news for so many years."

The two people were obviously very familiar with each other. Toby stepped forward and hugged Professor McGonagall gently. He whispered: "I'm sorry about Elphinstone Elcott, Professor."

Elphinstone Elcott was Professor McGonagall's former boss at the Ministry of Magic. He pursued McGonagall and spent many years. Finally, the two got married in 1982. Unfortunately, they only got married in 1982.

Elphinstone died accidentally in 1985 after being bitten by a venomous tentacle.

Minerva McGonagall's emotional experience was particularly rough. Toby heard part of it when he was in school. She was an extremely strong and independent woman.

"It's all in the past."

Mag wiped the corners of her eyes without leaving a trace: "Fortunately, there is still Hogwarts, this is also my home."

Toby pretended not to see it and looked at the scenery outside the window.

"Hogwarts is still the same,"

He said, looking at the Black Lake from a distance, with the giant squid stranded on the edge of the lake: "Principal Dumbledore has protected the school very well."

Professor McGonagall's mood gradually calmed down. She raised her head and asked, "Are you here to see Albus? Oh, I remembered that he recruited you as the school's new professor not long ago. I remember Snape also

He went to Egypt specifically for this purpose, and he was not in a good mood when he came back."

Toby couldn't help laughing: "Severus is still the same. Well, professor, I have to go see Principal Dumbledore. We will get together again when we have time and call the other professors. It's a pity.

Professor Slughorn is no longer at the school."

"Albus is in the principal's office." Professor McGonagall said, "The password is ice mouse."

Toby looked a little surprised: "He still likes sweets so much, and it hasn't changed in so many years."

He left the vice-principal's office and inadvertently saw the list of freshmen on the table. He didn't stop and walked to the corridor.

It was still holiday time and the corridors were deserted. Toby thought that his memory of Hogwarts had faded, but whenever familiar scenes appeared in front of him again, he could always recall some tricks, such as the stairs.

Which door should be gently poked open leading to that on Friday.

Al kept turning around, trying to take in all the scenes. It muttered a few words in Toby's ear, and Toby responded with a smile: "Yes, Al, this is Hogwarts."

, the greatest magic school in the world.”

"No matter what you think, I think it is much better than Wagado. I really can't adapt to the African architectural style."

Although the number of students at Hogwarts is almost negligible, Toby still meets an old friend.

"Toby Highmore."

A transparent ghost stopped in front of Toby. He looked extremely scary, with dull eyes and a haggard appearance. His robe was stained with silver blood spots.

This is the ghost of Slytherin House, Bloody Baron.

Toby had almost no friends when he was in school, especially when he was young, so he would rather regard Bloody Barrow as a friend, even though no one would ever take the initiative to approach Barrow.

It's quite pitiful now that I think about it, but Snape is even pitiful than Toby. He doesn't even have a friend like Barrow. He only has one Lily, but they parted ways later.

"Long time no see, Barrow."

Toby stopped to say hello.

Barrow stared at him, and just when Toby thought he was about to say "I thought he was dead," Barrow said in a calm tone: "What a pity."

"I originally reserved a place for you as a college ghost."

This was the first time Toby heard Barrow speak such a long sentence, and it seemed that he was really sorry.

The two parties separated, and Barrow kept looking back at Toby, with some regret in his eyes.

Toby subconsciously quickened his pace. He had been to the ghost's death anniversary party and could not accept the rotten food anyway.

Finally, Toby appeared in front of a huge and ugly stone monster.

"Ice rat."

The monster suddenly came to life and jumped to the side, the wall behind it cracking in half.

Toby walked up the spiral staircase, and the wall behind him closed with a bang. The further he went up, the more complicated Toby's mood became.

He still remembered the quarrel he had with Principal Dumbledore before leaving England. In that moment, guilt, anxiety, uneasiness, anger, and various emotions formed a more complex psychology.

But when he walked to the last oak door, he found that his heart had become calmer than ever before.

He knocked lightly and heard the words coming from inside the door: "Please come in."

After taking a deep breath, Toby pushed the door open and walked into the principal's office.

The principal is getting older.

This was the first thought that came to Toby's mind.

Principal Dumbledore was sitting on the chair behind the desk, reading a book with his head lowered, half-moon glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose, and a wise blue gaze behind him.

Just from the cover of the book, Toby knew that it was "Ancient Magic" written by himself.

"Bring it here."

Dumbledore said without raising his head, tapping his fingers twice on the table.

The principal was still so calm and looked like he had anticipated everything. During the Wizarding War, he was also so confident and firmly believed that he would win the final victory.

Toby did not hesitate. He took out the cloth bag from his pocket, folded it twice, exposed the magic stone inside, and placed it gently on the desk.

Dumbledore then raised his head and stared at the Sorcerer's Stone.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

A full minute passed, and Principal Dumbledore still said nothing and remained silent.

Toby originally lowered his head, but then he couldn't help but raise his head and found that Principal Dumbledore's hand was holding the book extra hard, and veins appeared on the back of his hand.

There seemed to be something wrong with the development of things. Toby always felt that Dumbledore was trying hard to resist the urge to beat himself up.

"Well......"

Toby asked hesitantly:

"Principal, do I still have a chance to come in again?"
