Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Pushed on the desk in the Ancient Magic Office are two tall piles of parchment, which are the homework of other students.

Toby and Al sat on the chairs with solemn expressions. Pieces of parchment flew in front of them, and they marked them carefully.

"Want to make a bite box? It seems like a conservative choice, but it is still a bit difficult - for a sixth-grade student, forget it, let him try it."

"Auto-returning bat? George Weasley... I think he was the Gryffindor beater? Must be rejected, it's a foul in the game."

"ah!"

"Huh? Multi-flavored juice? Are you going to imitate Bibi's multi-flavored beans? Let's see, Fred Weasley is only in the third grade. He really doesn't know the world. Let's add a range to him. Let's make ten kinds first.

The taste comes out, so he knows how difficult it is."

"Snitch Catcher? Who is this? Why do the players at school always think about fouling?"

"Quaffle catcher?! That's too much!"

"Oh, this is Mr. Diggory's - the automatic casting wand. It shouldn't be. He knows how difficult it is. We have to find a time to have a good talk with him - eh? Please come in."

Hermione walked into the office cautiously, and Ron and Harry followed behind her, holding the unconscious Neville on the left and right.

After seeing Mr. Al who was grading homework... they decided to ignore this strange scene for now. This should be an illusion. How could Xiu Xiu be grading homework?

Toby looked at them with a smile: "You are here to hand in your homework too? It's really fast. It's just not long after class. It seems that you are very aware - indeed, confinement is still effective."

Harry and Ron's hearts trembled as they suddenly thought that they should come back after finishing their homework.

Hermione explained bravely: "It's not because of the homework, Professor. It's because of Neville, who just beat Draco Malfoy unconscious."

Hermione's voice became softer and softer, and she watched helplessly as Professor Heimer's long hair fell down and covered his eyes - this didn't look good, and was usually a precursor to the professor's anger.

"Continue." Toby said calmly, his tone changing from joy to a deep tone.

Now Hermione was also panicking. She told the whole story with great difficulty, without daring to add any fuel to the fire - just before the last confinement, they had already seen the punishment for fooling Professor Heimer, which was extremely severe.

You may be expelled from school.

After the story was finished, there was silence in the office for a short while.

Except for Neville who was unconscious, the three young wizards felt that the atmosphere in the room was getting heavier and heavier, making them breathless.

Fortunately, Toby finally looked away. He glanced at Neville and glanced at the back of Neville's broken hands. Then he turned to look at Al and said to him: "Go to Severus and leave him alone."

I want some white essence and tranquilizer."

Al nodded, and it jumped on the flying carpet and flew away from the office.

Toby pushed back his long hair and showed a big smile: "I thought that was what happened. Sit down, kids, do you want anything to drink?"

He conjured four chairs across from the desk and motioned for the four people to sit over. At the same time, he continued: "But you are really right to find me. As for Neville - use white fresh essence to treat his injuries in a while, and then

Just drink a tranquilizer to calm down your mood and you will feel better. There is no need to worry, it is just a little excitement and it will be cured soon."

The three of them took Neville to sit on the chair in fear. They had not yet understood the meaning behind Professor Heimer's behavior.

So Toby asked again: "Tell me, what do you want to drink?"

The three of them trembled all over, and they immediately shouted one after another:

"water!"

"water!"

“Pumpkin juice!”

Um?

Harry and Hermione suddenly looked at Ron. Are they still in the mood to drink pumpkin juice at this time?

Fortunately, Toby didn't pay attention to this. He waved his wand again and produced two glasses of water, one glass of pumpkin juice, and some lemonade that he gave to Neville on his own initiative.

Ron was sipping his drink, not daring to raise his head under the contempt of his two friends.

Harry plucked up the courage and asked, "But...Professor, what should Neville do?"

"Mr. Longbottom's words..." Toby thought about it carefully, he smiled unexpectedly and said: "Having the courage to help others and standing up for his roommate's parents is a rare heroic performance. This is great, Grant

Fundo adds five points! Then the three of you each add three points to reward your consideration for your friends."

The three of them were stunned, and Neville's eyelids also twitched.

This is completely different from what they imagined. Even if they are not punished, they can actually get extra points?

Ron suddenly said: "If I had known, I would have taken action first——"

"Mr. Weasley!"

Toby suddenly said seriously, so scared that Ron almost turned over from behind his chair.

"What I must tell you is that if you and Mr. Potter were the ones who started the fight at that time, then this would have turned into an ordinary fight. No matter who provoked it first, you will be destined to be punished!"

Harry ignored Ron's blushing face. The more he heard, the more something was wrong - it felt like Professor Highmore was very knowledgeable about breaking school rules?

"But..." Hermione couldn't help but worry: "But if you do this, will you have a conflict with Professor Snape?"

Snape was the Head of Slytherin and was famous for protecting others, and Hermione had already seen the two professors fight.

"Oh, no no no no."

Toby raised a finger and shook it from side to side: "First of all, the person who will cause trouble for me will not be Severus. Secondly, you seem to have forgotten one thing - I am also a Slytherin, no matter I

No matter what I do, there will be a reasonable explanation because of my identity - Slytherin."

"This is the most discriminated house, and it is also the house where you do things without worrying about the consequences. Because there is always an explanation - there are the most dark wizards from Slytherin House, and the people here are all bad."

Hermione opened her mouth in surprise, and Harry felt a little guilty inexplicably - this was how he viewed Slytherin House before, but Professor Highmore's statement clearly did not mean this - he did this to protect Neville.

of.

He seemed to have misjudged Professor Heimer.

"Is there any problem, Mr. Potter?" Toby saw something strange from Harry's expression: "You seem to be a child who is very good at hiding his worries. This is not good. You should learn more from your mother.

, fathers too, they all know how to express their thoughts, although sometimes they overdo it."

Harry suddenly raised his head: "You...you know my parents?"

His eyes were full of surprise and expectation.

"Yes, I know them." Toby said, but didn't say much and stopped there.

And Ron finally came to his senses from Professor Heimer's speech just now - this professor from Slytherin House was a little different from what he had imagined, and the key was...

"Neville is a Gryffindor - eh!"

Before he could finish his words, he was secretly beaten by Hermione.

Her glaring eyes perfectly expressed what she was thinking - How could there be someone who couldn't wink at you? Why would you mention Gryffindor at this time?

At this time, Al flew back with two bottles in his paws.

"It's time for you to go back."

Toby said goodbye: "Just give the next time to me and Mr. Longbottom."

"We need to talk alone."
