Archaeologists at Hogwarts

That night, after dinner, Toby took Al back to the office, but they received an uninvited guest.

"What are you doing here?"

Toby, who was sitting behind the desk, raised his head and stared suspiciously at the old bat who broke into the office - there was anger in Snape's eyes.

Since Snape did not deliberately cause trouble again during this probation period, the last conflict between the two old classmates did not occur again - that is, they did not start a fight in the corridor.

"You knew I was no longer on probation, so you came to buy me a drink?"

Toby lowered his head again and returned his attention to the manuscript of the new book: "You are too polite, Severus."

Snape was so angry that he almost laughed out loud. He said sarcastically: "You have a good idea. The most ridiculous thing is that you dared to mock me for targeting Potter before, but in the end you did the same thing."

oh?

Toby raised his head, and he immediately thought of his punishment against Draco Malfoy.

"So, it was Draco who tipped you off?"

Toby said calmly: "It seems that Lucius Malfoy really did what I said in the school hospital - he asked you to take care of Draco specifically. I know you are friends, but you didn't

To think that the friendship between Death Eaters can be so deep."

Snape narrowed his eyes slightly and twisted his lips into a terrifying arc. If Harry were there, he would definitely turn around and run away. No matter how angry he was, he would not dare to offend Snape now.

"You know very well that it was not a frame-up." Snape caught Toby's word for punishing Draco, and he said: "It was just a report against the fire dragon. Both Potter and Hagrid deserved it. You didn't

There is no reason to punish Draco Malfoy, and there is no reason to deduct points from Slytherin House."

Toby is not Harry, he is not easily frightened.

"So you even know about the fire dragon." Toby said indifferently: "So what? Are you going to go to the principal to report me? Are you going to let me continue to be detained in school?"

Snape snorted coldly: "Don't underestimate Dumbledore, he already knew about the fire dragon."

Toby's eyes flickered twice. He didn't know that such a thing existed. Thinking about it carefully, maybe only the Pig's Head Bar has Dumbledore's informant. Could it be other members of the Order of the Phoenix? Similar to Menton.

A wizard like Gus?

Although he knew about the existence of the Order of the Phoenix, he had no real reason to join, so Toby didn't know who had ever been in the Order.

After thinking about all this, Toby continued to mock mercilessly: "Yes, Dumbledore is powerful. But what about you, Severus? What can you do to me? I have heard that

In your previous deeds when you were still in office, you showed a strong preference for Slytherin, but showed no pretense towards students from other houses. Moreover, you don’t really think that I will be merciful to students, do you? Do you think I am a fair person?

?”

"Think about it, Severus. You knew this when you were in school. I never hold back against someone I don't like, no matter who it is."

Snape stared at Toby silently. The two looked at each other silently, and Al was also angrily adding to Toby's momentum.

"I know what you are planning, Toby." Snape said: "You suspect that Lucius is related to the Dark Lord -"

"Yes," Toby suddenly interrupted: "That's what I think. And I also have one thing to tell you - I don't care what the relationship is between you and Lucius Malfoy, but I can

If it’s not Lily, she won’t be betrayed so easily, let alone wait to die stupidly.”

"The most important thing is that I will never show mercy to Death Eaters, let alone give you a chance to betray me. You should be glad that Dumbledore vouched for you, and think carefully about the relationship between you and Lucius.

Friendship."

Snape turned around angrily, and before leaving he left one last sentence: "Coincidentally, I think so too."

Snape seemed to mean that he would not show mercy to Toby either. This threat came out of nowhere.

Toby knew that Snape had always hated him because of his desertion, but now it seemed that there were some reasons that he didn't know about.

But soon, this matter was forgotten by Toby. There were many people who wanted his life, including Lord Voldemort when he was in school. Especially during the years of archeology, more people wanted to kill him.

Want him to die.

Those who focus on archeology are not only the curse breakers of Gringotts, but also crazy tomb robbers, dark creatures, and dark wizards. Toby has encountered the same situation too many times.

As the night progressed, Harry, Ron, and Hermione came to the Ancient Magic Office. Malfoy was the last to arrive. When he walked into the office, his expression was no longer calm. He didn't expect Snape

The dean failed to protect himself in the end, and now just a glance from Professor Hemmer made him unbearably afraid.

Toby did not choose to say anything more at this time, nor did he mention Malfoy's complaint to Snape. He just glanced at the four lowered students, then took out four shovels from the corner of the table.

Throw it in front of them.

Harry recognized the shovel as the tool they would use when digging in the soil in Herbology class.

"Pick up the shovel." Toby ordered: "Follow me."

He left the office first, with Al standing on his shoulder. The four students did not dare to talk, and they followed Professor Heimer after picking up the shovel.

The group of people left the castle and strode through the dark field. Harry didn't know what kind of punishment they would encounter, so he could only look at Ron and Hermione with his eyes. What worried him the most was Malfoy's face -

—Not because he was worried about Malfoy, but because Malfoy looked almost scared to death.

The moonlight was very bright, but clouds kept coming over to cover the moon, plunging them into darkness.

Harry even wanted to shout when he passed Hagrid's cabin, but he still didn't dare to do so. And Hagrid seemed to be very busy. There were constant banging noises from the house, and Norbert's growth

Even more amazing than they imagined.

Finally, they stood in front of the dark Forbidden Forest. In front of them was a deep path with no end in sight, all covered by darkness.

Toby said ruthlessly: "A group of dead animals appeared in the Forbidden Forest. Your task tonight is to find them and bury their bodies with shovels."

"Oh my god..." There was uncontrollable fear in Ron's voice. The Forbidden Forest alone was scary enough, but why was it involved with dead animals?

Hermione summoned the courage to ask, "Do you know who killed those animals, Professor?"

"It's not clear yet." Toby looked at the four people and said: "You'd better pray not to meet the murderer, because-"

A bad premonition arose in the hearts of the four of them, especially Harry and Malfoy, whose hearts were about to jump out - Professor Heimer suddenly focused on them.

"We need to split into two groups. Mr. Weasley and Miss Granger will follow me. As for Mr. Potter and Mr. Malfoy, you will follow Al."

Harry and Malfoy were immediately frightened and their faces turned pale. No matter how powerful Mr. Al was, he would definitely not be able to compare with Professor Heimer.

Toby looked at them with a dangerous smile.

"It's time to pay for your ignorance. Let me take a good look at what you are capable of - the shameless informer, and the Boy Who Lived."
