Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Toby sat obediently opposite Dumbledore, but in a short period of time, he had exchanged glances with Al countless times, and both of them had malicious expressions.

Dumbledore said helplessly: "Toby, the reason why I tell these things is because I know that after tonight's encounter in the Pig's Head Bar, you will definitely not let it go. But my honesty is not in exchange for you.

Unscrupulous - there may be something wrong with Quirrell, but it can't be proven yet that it must be related to the Sorcerer's Stone."

"Of course I know, Principal."

Toby immediately changed to a confident expression: "I know what to do - no need for truth serum, but do you know about Dream Messenger?"

"Dream Messenger...are you referring to the special enrollment method of Wagadu Magic School?"

"Yes, that's it."

Wagadu is a magic school located in Mount Moon, Uganda, Africa. It is the largest of all magic schools because it admits students from all over Africa.

Students admitted to Wagadu received news from the then principal through a dream messenger. The dream messenger would leave a token for the children while they were sleeping - usually an inscribed stone. When the children woke up,

You'll find yourself holding it in your hands. No other school uses this method of selecting students.

Al took out a stone from his belly pocket with an inscription on it and gave the stone to Toby.

Toby continued to explain: "Do you remember Angela? She was originally a saint from one of the tribes in Africa, and now she is the vice-principal of Wagadu Magic School. As long as she agrees, I can bring the Dream Messenger

If I borrow it for a short time and then use the ability of the dream messenger to spy on Quirrell's dream, he will definitely not be able to detect anything strange and will truthfully tell me all the information I want to know."

The reason why Toby is so sure is because Dream Messenger was originally a method used by Wagadu Magic School to eliminate risks - the biggest risk is to avoid the possibility of students revealing the magical world. All this comes from the "Law of Secrecy"

considerations.

"Angela..." Principal Dumbledore murmured: "I remember this name, but I also remember that you two caused a lot of trouble for a scepter. Later, she even

I wanted to hunt you down, but you got rid of me, but have you reconciled now?"

Toby suddenly became extremely happy.

"Don't be ridiculous, principal." He waved his hand and said, "She hates me so much. She even sent me a few yelling letters at Christmas. How can we reconcile? But don't worry, I'll just lie to her again."

Yeah, she's just an innocent little girl who doesn't understand the risks of ritual magic, and there's something wrong with that scepter - in short, I don't dare to put such a dangerous thing in her hands, just in case something happens.

Weird stuff is bad."

This time, Dumbledore did not deny Toby's proposal.

Toby also breathed a sigh of relief silently. He knew that the principal paid special attention to the boy Harry Potter. At first, he was worried that the principal would let Voldemort's threat go unchecked. Fortunately, nothing went wrong in the end. Principal Dumbledore still solved Voldemort's threat.

The threat comes first - and Dream Messenger is much easier to accept than Veritaserum, otherwise no little wizard would be willing to go to school in Wagadu, but would stay away from it in the first place.

Neither of them mentioned that Toby deliberately exposed the mechanism that protects the Sorcerer's Stone, because they knew that the previous mechanism might be able to delay time, but the most important mechanism was still in the room that protected the Philosopher's Stone. Toby didn't even tell Snape and

The magic circle previously arranged was revealed in front of Quirrell, and it was mentioned that the Mirror of Erised would be added in a few days - he and the principal had already discussed how the final mechanism should be arranged.

The next thing to consider is the centaur sculpture. This is an item that Mundungus painstakingly collected. After being restored to its original size by Toby using a magnification spell, it is placed in the center of the office - the sculpture is a strong man.

Judging from the wear and tear on the exterior, this item has been around for many years.

There is also a name engraved on the bottom of the sculpture - House.

Inquiring about House's origins still has to be left to Principal Dumbledore. The centaurs respect him and are willing to communicate with him.

Principal Dumbledore took advantage of the darkness to leave the Ancient Magic Office. He returned to the principal's office, where Snape was waiting for him.

"What to do next?" Snape asked with a gloomy face: "Toby can no longer stay out of the matter, do you still want to keep it a secret from him? There was something wrong with his previous state. If you ask me, he should be allowed to

I will be placed on probation once."

"No, Severus." Dumbledore pretended not to have heard the last part and said: "Toby already knows about Quirrell's abnormality. As for the influence of ancient magic, the interesting thing is that Toby returned to Hogg

Watts' reason may also contain the same purpose - he trusts me and trusts you, so he is willing to accept our surveillance in disguise, which can also be said to be a timely stop to prevent him from doing any irrational behavior.

"

"Don't betray his trust, Severus. He knows you are a Death Eater, but he still trusts you."

Snape sneered and said, "Trust me? He didn't do anything just because I dared to appear in front of him. Otherwise, he would not completely forgive me just because of Lily's death."

"So we have to keep it a secret even more." Dumbledore sighed: "Now it's up to you not to betray my trust, Severus."

Snape was silent for a while.

He didn't mention Harry Potter, let alone Dumbledore.

"I have been a dead person for a long time. I only live for Lily."

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

Toby acted very quickly. After the principal left the Ancient Magic Office, he took out the smiling straw doll again, poked its eyes with his hand, and asked in a low voice: "Angela? Angela

?”

The straw doll's eyes rolled, and it spoke, with a female voice - the other party seemed to have just woken up from a dream, but it still subconsciously rebuked: "Damn Toby Highmore

..."

It's almost exactly the same as the beginning of a letter from a Hermione fan.

"Where's the scepter? Give me the scepter quickly!"

"You can lend me the Dream Messenger first."

"Are you kidding? Impossible! I know where you are now, don't force me to go to Hogwarts to find you!"

"Oh? You want to send the Dream Messenger yourself?"

"Shut up! Don't mention the Dream Messenger! Where's the scepter?! That's the scepter of our tribe, give it back to me!"

"The people in your tribe want to kill you, and kill a lot of people at will - everyone around you - that scepter has been inducing you to use human sacrifices, don't you understand?"

"You lied to me! I want the scepter! Give me the scepter first!"

"Then lend me the Dream Messenger first."

"You - Toby - you!"

After inking like this for half an hour.

A transparent shadow floated out from the doll's body.

"I'm warning you, this is the last time! You must hand over the scepter first next time!"

"certainly,"

Toby said as he took the shadow, he shook his head at Al in disgust, and Al also smacked his mouth twice.

"Of course it's the last time."
