Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Since the assignment of magic circle items, students have gradually begun to realize the extraordinary aspects of ancient magic classes.

They don't need to practice similar or identical spells, nor do they need to complete the exact same homework, but they can all make decisions on their own - except for some too unreasonable ideas, Professor Heimer has agreed to the students.

Requirements for making special magic circle items.

This made the following ancient magic class very interesting. In each class, students would ask various questions, and Toby also showed super patience and rich knowledge about magic circles.

Comprehension, students' mistakes can usually be pointed out in a short period of time to avoid causing a larger...explosion.

That's right, it's the most common consequence caused by the failure of a magic circle - explosion.

In the next short period of time, there were always students who exploded while walking. Of course, the ones who exploded were not the students themselves, because they did not have the courage to carve magic circles on their bodies.

What is really blown up are usually students' pockets and schoolbags. As for the locations, there are more types - dormitories, common rooms, bathrooms, classrooms, and even some students in the school hospital will be blown up non-stop, I guess.

I accidentally created the magic circle of thunderbolt fireworks.

This farce finally ended until Professor Heimer strictly prohibited it. Everyone must draw a perfect magic circle on parchment before applying it to their respective items.

However, according to Marcus Flint, who happened to pass by the principal's office, Professor Heimer made the decision after having a big bump on his forehead. It is speculated that Professor Heimer was forced to make this decision.

As a result, Marcus was detained for three days by Toby and almost missed the Slytherin team's next game.

It seems like everything in the school is moving in a better direction.

Except Quirrell.

He is living like a year now. After waking up every morning, he has to check whether he is still alive, for fear that the vampire's curse will suddenly kill him.

In his vague memory, the mysterious vampire had an ability that he could not resist no matter what. This made Quirrell unable to resist at all, and he did not dare to disobey the orders of the curse that was parasitic on his body.

Quirrell knew that the curse could take away one's life in an instant, which was more terrifying than the Kedavre.

Fortunately, Curse seemed to know that stealing the Philosopher's Stone was not a simple matter. Even after Quirrell explained the ways to pass various mechanisms, Curse did not keep urging Quirrell, but patiently waited for the opportunity.

Until the eve of a recent Quidditch match.

It will be a game between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. Almost all students and professors will go to watch it. The scoring of the game will determine the final Quidditch trophy. It will be the last game of the season.

Contest.

Quirrell finally received the order from the vampire curse.

"Go through the trap door...try to figure out what mechanism is in the last room..."

Quirrell didn't understand the meaning of this order. He originally thought that the other party would ask him to take the opportunity to take away the magic stone, but this step was not considered by the other party.

The curse acted as if it was very certain that there would be a trap in the last room, even though Quirrell had told him that there was nothing there but a magic stone.

In any case, Quirrell decided to do as the other party said. He happened to know that Dumbledore would leave the school that day to attend the Wizengamot meeting. It was said that this meeting was also related to Professor Highmore - someone submitted an anonymous letter to report

Heimer's mental condition is very unstable and he is not suitable to stay in school and continue to be a professor, and may even endanger students.

Quirrell felt that Professor Heimer's spirit was quite normal, especially after the Christmas vacation, he became more and more normal. But as for endangering students... Quirrell had seen many classes

A student suddenly got angry, but similar behavior was stopped in time.

Although there is no need to steal the Magic Stone in this plan, Quirrell still needs to be prepared to break through other mechanisms and shorten the time as much as possible to avoid being discovered by others.

But before Quirrell's preparations were completed, Toby came to the door first.

"What's the matter, Professor Heimer?" Quirrell asked stammering.

"There is indeed one thing." Toby lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "I am here to help you solve the vampire curse."

Quirrell's eyes widened: "Ah?"

"Stop covering up, Professor Quirrell." Toby waved his hand and said: "I know what this is about, even the students can guess it - you must have been attacked by a vampire in Romania, so

That will make you smell like garlic."

Upon hearing this reason, Quirrell finally felt a little relieved. Just now his heart was about to jump out of his chest, thinking that Toby had seen through the curse that was parasitic on him.

Toby, on the other hand, cleverly ignored the real reason for the Dream Messenger, and he also came to Quirrell with another purpose -

"Aphasia Curse? Or Stuttering Curse? Hagrid told me about the changes that have happened to you. You have completely changed since you came back. No matter what the curse is, I will try to help you solve it, which will also help me

Go find the mysterious vampire."

Quirrell was startled: "You-you-what are you looking for him for?"

"Of course it's to study ancient magic." Toby said matter-of-factly: "I haven't been to Romania yet. I never knew there were such powerful vampires there. I have to see them. Maybe they are related to some ancient ruins.

——I just don’t know if Gringotts has a branch in Romania. It’s still difficult to find these mysterious guys without the help of goblins.”

"Don't worry, Professor Quirrell."

After seeing Quirrell's face gradually turning pale, Toby encouraged: "It just gives you a chance to experience the power of the magic circle. You simply can't imagine what the magic circle alone can do - wait a minute.

"

Toby suddenly frowned and said, he walked to the door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office and opened the door inward -

Hermione, who was eavesdropping behind the door, did not expect such a scene to happen. She fell down and fell all of a sudden.

"Teach...Professor." Hermione stood up with a red face. She quickly explained: "I came to see Professor Quirrell. I originally wanted to ask about the content related to the Muggle Studies class. Just now...

me......"

She carefully looked at Professor Heimer's gloomy face and almost didn't cry.

"I was wrong, Professor."

In the end, Hermione didn't dare to lie in front of Professor Hemmer.

Toby narrowed his eyes and stared at her: "Sneaking in to eavesdrop on the professors' conversations and being caught so easily - five points deducted from Gryffindor, you need to take a good long memory, Miss Granger.

"

Frustrated, Hermione couldn't tell for a moment whether Professor Hemmer was deducting points for eavesdropping, or whether he was caught and needed to take a longer memory.
