Archaeologists at Hogwarts

In the Ancient Magic Office, Cedric hasn't left yet, and Al hasn't come back either.

Since meeting Neville and the weird Draco, Cedric has been staying in the office and taking the initiative to take on the responsibility of guard - after all, the Mason door is still open, who knows what Professor Highmore is doing

Mysterious experiments cannot be disturbed by others.

But Cedric was not idle either. He drew a piece of parchment for the disarming spell magic circle and placed the parchment on the headless skeleton. The skull's head was held in his hands by Cedric as he moved it.

At the same time, the skeleton's hands moved so that the eye sockets in its head could be aimed at Cedric.

But Cedric has gotten used to it, and although it feels a little weird, he can still try to avoid fear.

After the parchment was attached, Cedric took out his wand and tapped it lightly on the parchment to make the magic circle take effect.

The disarming spell worked, and the skull's head suddenly flew out of the opponent's hands. The head laughed in the air, its upper and lower teeth collided, and the other skeleton next to it also clapped its hands in honor.

Cedric quickly caught the head and carefully put it back into the hands of the headless skeleton.

He wondered to himself: "There is nothing wrong with the magic circle, but why doesn't it work on ash wood?"

Ash wood is also the material of his wand, which is also Cedric's experiment to make a self-casting wand. It is impossible for him to imprint the magic circle on the wand from the beginning, and it will be terrible if it fails.

As for doing experiments with skeletons, it was Professor Heimer's idea. Cedric still remembers what the other person originally said was "They will be happy to have someone to play with." That's why Cedric was allowed to do experiments in the office.

of permission.

As for touching other souvenirs, Cedric didn't even dare to think about it. Just holding the pharaoh's gaze on the surface of the coffin was uncomfortable enough, let alone the few black cloaks hanging on the ceiling.

His neck was wrapped around him, as if someone had committed suicide and hanged himself.

Just when Cedric was about to continue studying the ash wood, there was finally a movement from the Mason door - Toby took the lead to step out, followed closely by Harry, Hermione, and Ron.

All have returned to their human form.

Cedric stared at this scene with his mouth open. He had expected the appearance of Professor Heimer in advance, but the other three people did not expect it at all. Moreover, their expressions at this time were not very good. They looked stupid and stupid.

I was so dizzy that I couldn't even stand steady.

"Professor, they are-"

Before Cedric could finish his question, Toby repeated the punishment for the three of them, and this time he was more detailed.

"A total of one hundred and fifty points have been deducted from Gryffindor. Miss Granger is no longer allowed to appear in the office on the grounds of her work as editor. She will also be subject to confinement. I will inform you in advance before the confinement."

There is no way to really deduct points inside the Mason Gate. You need to repeat it again when you come out. This also caused secondary damage to the three people who were confused. They collapsed on the floor, feeling in endless fear.

A lot of despair was squeezed in.

"Mr. Diggory, please take them to the school hospital. Madam Pomfrey will take good care of them."

Although he didn't know what happened, Cedric understood something more or less. That's 150 points! How did they mess with Professor Hemmer?

"I'll do it now, sir," Cedric said quickly, and then added: "One more thing, Neville Longbottom -"

"I'll talk about other things when I get back."

Toby didn't give Cedric a chance to continue. Al hadn't come back yet, so he had to go to the room to protect the Philosopher's Stone as soon as possible.

After Toby quickly left the office, Cedric walked up to the three people with distracted eyes, and Hermione was sobbing softly.

"Uh..." Although he couldn't bear it, Cedric still asked in a low voice: "Can you still stand up now? Can I help you?"

Hermione suddenly cried louder.

On the other side, Toby met an unexpected person on the far right side of the corridor on the fourth floor, Snape, who seemed to have just arrived.

Toby stared at Snape closely: "Why is it you again? I said, are you still working for the mysterious person?"

It was difficult for him not to doubt Snape's motives. After all, Snape had no notice of the magic ball being obtained.

Snape said with a gloomy face: "Just relax, Toby, I just went to the school hospital, guess who is missing?"

Toby frowned slightly. He ignored Snape and hurriedly walked into the first room. The trap door had been opened, but the armor had disappeared.

He jumped into the devil's net below and quickly passed through the flying key room, the chessboard room, the troll room (the troll was knocked unconscious again), and Snape's potions room.

During the whole process, Snape was following Toby behind him. The two of them were silent, but this time it was Snape who was wary of Toby.

They saw the Mirror of Erised in the last room. The armor stood opposite the mirror. Xiu Xiu opened his visor and greeted Toby excitedly.

At the feet of the armor lay an unconscious man with a huge swelling on the back of his head. This was the thief who came to steal the magic stone.

It's Mundungus Fletcher.

Since the incident at the Hog's Head Bar, Mundungus has been living in the campus hospital for treatment and has never woken up.

But now, he appears in the room protecting the Magic Stone.

Snape sneered and mocked: "Think carefully about how to explain it to Dumbledore, Toby."

"You were the one who brought Mundungus back to Hogwarts. You were the one who first came into contact with him."

The suspicion was inexplicably transferred from Mundungus to Toby. Since Mundungus was the one who came to steal the Philosopher's Stone, Toby would inevitably be suspected by others - what did he do to Mundungus?

hands and feet.

Toby narrowed his eyes slightly without saying a word, and left the basement with Al.

At night, Toby received a notice from Dumbledore's return, and he took Al to the principal's office.

Headmaster Dumbledore looked very tired. He had gone to deal with Toby's retention problem during the day, which was caused by Lucius.

As soon as Toby came in, he said: "Principal, you should know very well——"

Dumbledore interrupted: "I know what's going on, Toby. I would rather believe that you would steal the Sorcerer's Stone yourself than surrender to Voldemort."

This sounds a bit like trust, but Toby always feels a little weird.

"Is this how you see me? A lawless criminal?"

"Toby, I'm not in the mood to joke with you right now."

Dumbledore said tiredly. He opened a piece of folded parchment and placed it in front of Toby: "I have tried to fight for you. There won't be any big problems in a short time, provided that you -

—”

Toby looked at the paper and saw a line of large words printed at the top——

[Probation of Professor Toby Heimer.]
