Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Only Toby and Dumbledore knew what trap they had set up in the last room.

Now, the mechanism has been pried, causing the magic ball to change.

The magic ball was given to Al before Toby entered Mason's door for safekeeping.

On the fourth floor of the outside castle, Al has entered the room on the far right side of the corridor. There is nothing strange about the brand-new armor. It is still standing in the room, which shows that the intruder knows the secret of the first level - that is, the

Knightly etiquette.

Al looked a little nervous, but more excited. He knew what he was about to face, but he was not timid at all.

"Yeah." Al shouted at the armor.

The visor of the armor immediately opened, and Al got in at once. But before that, the magic ball also melted away, covering the entire armor inside and adhering to the surface of the armor.

On the shining silver armor, a large number of shimmering magic arrays immediately emerged, echoing each other and forming a whole.

The strength of the armor suddenly became much stronger. It juggled the long ax a few times, becoming faster and faster, and becoming more and more agile.

Of course, the magic circle should not be imprinted on the wizard's body, as if a mistake is made, flesh and blood will explode.

But armor is different.

Before Principal Dumbledore helped solve the curse on the armor, Toby also tried many methods. Although he was unsuccessful, the armor would not be broken. Even if something went wrong, he could ask the goblins to repair it. They are the best blacksmiths.

"ah."

Al shouted again, and the visor of the armor immediately closed, revealing only a pair of sparkling little eyes inside.

Then, the armor opened the trap door and jumped into it along the darkness.

Facing a weakened Voldemort alone?

This sounds no less boring than archeology.

On the other side, the devastated Cedric walked back to the castle. He had just lost to Gryffindor in the Quidditch match. It was a disastrous defeat. Standing around him were students trying to comfort him.

"Oh, it's nothing."

Cedric forced a smile: "We still have a chance next semester. By the way, I'm going to see Professor Heimer now. Do you want to come with me?"

After losing the Quidditch match, Cedric could only think of using an auto-casting wand to make up for Hufflepuff House's honor.

Unsurprisingly, after Cedric asked this question, the students around him immediately asked a lot of things. Some said they were going to change clothes, and others said they were going to the kitchen to get some snacks. Even so far,

Only a few students would go to the Ancient Magic Office without any scruples, and there were only two of them, one was him and the other was Hermione Granger.

But...to the kitchen?

Fred and George got mixed up among the Hufflepuff students at some point. They were not afraid of being discovered at all, and they even greeted Cedric with a smile - they were students of the same grade and often attended classes together.

.And to some extent, both Cedric and the Weasley twins are famous.

"this is not right!"

Cedric said seriously: "You should not violate school rules!"

"Oh, come on." Fred waved his hand: "This is a rare victory for us, we must celebrate it after all."

Many Hufflepuff students glared at him, and George immediately grabbed Fred's shaking arm: "Actually, we are just here to find Harry and little Ron. It seems they are not here - then, goodbye."

The two men ran away quickly before causing more chaos.

Cedric sighed helplessly, but he cheered up again when he thought of the automatic casting wand. In any case, the Quidditch season was completely over, and he would have more time to study the automatic casting wand.

After bidding farewell to the others, Cedric came to the door of the Ancient Magic Office alone. He unexpectedly found that the door was not closed tightly.

"Professor Heimer?"

Cedric carefully pushed the door open, and he immediately saw the opened Mason door, but Professor Heimer was not in the room. Instead, he saw another person, standing opposite the Mason door, a fat and round face.

little boy.

"I thought your name was Longbottom? Neville Longbottom?"

Cedric walked into the room confused: "What are you doing here? Is it related to your homework?"

He remembered this little wizard who seemed a little timid, and he also heard that Neville had a fight some time ago, which surprised Cedric quite a bit.

However, Neville was startled by the sudden appearance of Cedric. He looked around in panic, then quickly pushed Cedric's body away and ran away through the crack in the open door.

"you--"

Cedric called twice, but Neville did not stop and quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.

"What's wrong with him—well? What's wrong with you?"

A little boy with blond hair walked straight towards the office. Cedric immediately blocked the door. He could no longer let these freshmen enter the office casually. In any case, he still had the identity of Mr. Al's assistant.

, although Mr. Al doesn’t know why he is no longer in the office.

Coupled with the strange Mason door, Cedric couldn't make his own decisions at this time.

But the little boy did not continue walking. After seeing Cedric, he immediately changed direction and walked from the other side of the corridor.

Cedric blinked, he vaguely remembered that the other person seemed to be a child of the Malfoy family, and it was he who had a fight with Neville not long ago.

"What happened today?"

Meanwhile, on the other side of Mason Gate.

Toby has roughly figured out Al's movements.

Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, he knew very well that Al would only leave the Mason Gate without permission when the magic ball reacted.

But he didn't seem worried about this. Instead, he focused on the three small animals in front of him and stared at them coldly.

"Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, and my editor...Miss Granger."

Toby told the names of the three people respectively. It was very simple. After the skeleton informed him, he could guess their identities just by hearing the voices of the three people.

"You made a mistake, a very stupid mistake."

Toby turned his attention to the orange cat: "Especially you, Miss Granger, I remember I clearly said that underage wizards should not enter the Mason Gate."

"You have disappointed me terribly."

The owl, the orange cat, and the little mouse stood together in fear. Professor Heimer, who looked like a long-horned water snake, was even more scary than usual.

But that's not all.

"It seems that the punishment last time made me hold back on you. Let me think about it...50 points from Gryffindor and 50 points from each of you."

"professor......"

"Shut up! Mr. Potter! Do you think you don't have to pay for your stupidity?"

"professor......"

"Shut up! Mr. Weasley! Is this how you repay me for helping Bill Weasley? Stalking a professor without permission? Maybe you deserve more detention."

"professor......"

"And you, Miss Granger, I will never need a proofreader again. I warned you. Also, you are not allowed to write to me, remember that."

Under the continuous punishment, the three of them felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, and their whole bodies became extremely cold.

Then, they were horrified to see the Pharaoh's coffin jumping over again and again.

"This time, I need to teach you a more profound lesson."

Toby said ruthlessly: "You should be glad that you are just a student and not some other wizard I met during the archaeological process."

"Besides, Principal Dumbledore can't intercede for his students in a place like this."

"Professor, don't-"

The coffin immediately shut the three of them inside, and there was a beating sound inside, but it did not change Toby's mind at all.

"Feel the fear that I faced."

"This is much better than if you almost killed me."
