Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Quirrell has nothing to do with Voldemort.

That night, with the help of the dream messenger, Toby sneaked into Quirrell's dream and saw that he had been to Romania during the holiday before the start of school, and then was targeted by a mysterious vampire, so after returning to school he

It will be full of the smell of garlic.

Quirrell's stuttering is indeed abnormal, but it is due to a curse. He cannot say the name of the vampire. Once he recalls this incident, he will become stuttering.

And this happened to be the experience that Quirrell took the initiative to hide - not only because of the Philosopher's Stone, but also because Quirrell wanted to avoid being looked down upon by others.

Toby's blessing almost came true - he didn't want to work with vampires, and Quirrell almost became one.

As for the Philosopher's Stone - Quirrell in the dream never thought of stealing the Philosopher's Stone, he had enough troubles already.

After meeting Dumbledore again, Toby said: "Poor Quirrell, he is a bit overestimated, and he is too pitiful. The vampire who is targeting him does not look easy."

It is now the last day of the Christmas holiday. The Mirror of Erised has just been placed in the room protecting the Magic Stone. The troll that was knocked down before is still unconscious and it will probably take a few days to wake up.

Mundungus didn't wake up either. His injuries were serious and required long-term treatment.

Dumbledore didn't say anything about this, he just nodded, and then told Toby a piece of news that surprised and delighted him.

"I've asked the centaurs. They don't know the origin of the fifth founder, but they know who House is - according to them, House is the ancestor of the centaurs in the Forbidden Forest, and he also formulated the plan for the centaurs.

Traditions and rules - divination of the future, but not disclosed to the outside world, not too close to the wizard, and guarding the Forbidden Forest."

Toby blinked, thoughts rushing through his mind, and he analyzed: "So the fifth founder actually exists, and he is this centaur named House, but he doesn't know why he is deciding

Before establishing Hogwarts, he chose another unique path - the Forbidden Forest. He was also the first founder to part ways in the true sense - not only gave up maintaining friendship with wizards, but also gave up letting the subsequent horses

The opportunity for people to attend Hogwarts."

Toby felt that if House could become one of the founders of Hogwarts, he might actually have centaurs as classmates.

"And House still did it intentionally..."

"Foresight...foresight from the forest..."

Toby met Dumbledore's gaze, and Dumbledore was looking at him.

The two of them were thinking of the same thing at this moment.

“Gellert Grindelwald’s claim to wizard supremacy.”

Toby said categorically: "House believes that wizard supremacy is bound to emerge, and the centaurs will be hunted and killed by wizards by then, so he will prevent the centaurs from encountering a crisis before then."

"I think so too." Dumbledore agreed with Toby: "According to the description on the pedestal of the Pensieve, House must have had a close relationship with the four founders from the beginning, perhaps more so than we imagined.

Being close. The reasons that could lead him to take the initiative to cut off contact are definitely not simple."

Toby asked: "Did wizard supremacy already exist during the founder's period? According to my archaeological findings, before the "Law of Secrecy" actually appeared, there were few such targeted claims in the magical world.

There may be conflicts between different races, but they will not shout out the slogan of wizard supremacy in such a big way."

"Obviously." Dumbledore said: "This is the reason why House clearly foresaw something, so he set such strong traditions and rules, and even concealed the fact that he had a friendship with the four founders.

Fact - he doesn’t want the centaurs to see this scene, he doesn’t want the centaurs to form friendship with the wizard, or he doesn’t want the centaurs to be betrayed or even annihilated by the wizard.”

Both House's ideas and actions were extremely radical - he voluntarily gave up his friendship with wizards.

But judging from the results, there seems to be nothing wrong with this.

Toby knew that the Goblin Kingdom existed during the time of the Four Founders, and that Gryffindor's sword was forged by Goblin King Legnac I, who was also the best silversmith during that period.

But now there is no goblin kingdom left, only Gringotts is left, and the two goblin rebellions have failed. They are unable to leverage the ambition of wizards to control the magic world, and they have no ability to prevent this from happening, even the goblins

At first, they opposed the implementation of the "Secrecy Act", which would greatly reduce their interests, but later it had no effect.

Judging from this line of thinking, House's approach was right. He prevented the centaurs from being purged. Centaurs and wizards rarely encounter each other, and they have nothing to do with each other.

"But why would House think that?"

Toby still didn't understand: "Could he foresee things hundreds of years in the future? I have never heard of such a powerful prophet. This is incredible."

Dumbledore watched Toby walking around in the office, and he suddenly said: "That's why I gave that sculpture to the Centaur so that you can do better archeology in the Forbidden Forest in the future."

"Um?"

Toby suddenly raised his head: "You...how did you become so active all of a sudden? Is it because of the centaurs? Or is it because of wizard supremacy?"

He thought for a while and then said: "Is it because of Gellert Grindelwald? I heard that when he was ruling Europe, the person he feared most was you, so he did not extend his power to Britain. In the end,

It was you who defeated him yourself."

"Speaking of which, I have never understood this - how did you defeat Grindelwald? There are few relevant records, and each account is different - by the way, I can see Gryffindor's sword with my own eyes

?, Principal?"

Toby changed the topic abruptly. He noticed that when Grindelwald was mentioned, Dumbledore's eyes became a little incomprehensible. Toby did not want to get into trouble with the old man in front of him after he had just received permission to archaeologically inspect the Forbidden Forest.

"follow me."

Dumbledore said calmly, Toby followed him a little uneasily, and Al sat on his shoulder movingly to avoid having a huge swelling pop out later.

They came to the principal's office. Dumbledore picked up the sorting hat and pulled out a shining silver sword from the hat. The hilt was inlaid with a dazzling egg-sized ruby.

"Is this the sword of Gryffindor?"

Toby exclaimed in a daze, thinking he was here to be disciplined.

Dumbledore turned the hilt of his sword towards Toby.

"May I?"

Toby carefully took the sword and looked at it carefully in his hand.

He heard Dumbledore say in a steady voice: "This sword belongs to Gryffindor and to every outstanding student in Gryffindor House - including me. I personally pulled this sword

come out--"

"I personally used this sword to defeat Grindelwald."

"In the Muggle way, and in the way Gryffindors themselves have fought in duels."

"If you think about it carefully, this sword can be regarded as my property. Of course, it is based on the property concepts used by wizards, not goblins - otherwise all goblin creations are only temporarily loaned to wizards.

, it should be returned to the fairies once it dies.”

"It's really ironic." Toby sighed in surprise: "He defeated the ruler of wizard supremacy in a Muggle way."

He looked up at Dumbledore with confusion in his eyes, wondering why the principal would tell him this matter.

Dumbledore reached for the sword, put it back into the Sorting Hat, and then handed the Sorting Hat to Toby.

"Try it," he said, "see if you can take out the sword by yourself."

Toby put the hat on his head and said helplessly: "So is this also part of education? I am a Slytherin, how can I do something that only Gryffindor can do."

The sorting hat was firmly placed on Toby's head.

"Hello, Toby."

"Hello, Mr. Sorting Hat."

Afterwards, nothing happened.

Dumbledore sighed in disappointment, and Toby left the office with a puzzled expression.

After the door closed again, the Sorting Hat opened his mouth and said: "Albus, he is simply the most difficult student I have ever seen."

"I think so too."

Dumbledore said, his light blue eyes revealing his thoughts.

"I'm afraid it will be even more difficult in the future."
