Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 104 Slytherin's Dark Devil
Professor Horace Slughorn is a famous master of potions, that's why Toby asked him to help make Felicia.

In addition, there is another reason—Little Toby, who was a student, had personally experienced the magical effect of Felicity Potion, and he knew that Slughorn had the ability to make this advanced potion.

The former Professor Slughorn had the habit of encouraging students with brewed potions, and for this purpose he commended the students with the best performance in class. The reward he used that time was a small bottle of Felix Elixir.

At that time, little Toby worked hard for this. He even secretly used the self-taught ancient magic to cheat, and finally made the perfect vitality tonic, which was even better than Lily and Snape who were in the same class at that time. .

Later, the two men often mocked him because of this incident.

Professor Slughorn didn't know Toby's little coup, but Lily and Snape knew his methods very well.

It wasn't until Toby took the small bottle of reward himself on a full moon night that he was able to end this meaningless dispute.

At the same time, it also led to the beginning of another deeper conflict.

Decades later, in the night, the adult Toby once again looked up at the full moon in the sky.

His thoughts gradually separated from the memory, and a deep confusion couldn't help but surged in his mind.

It was obviously a full moon night, but why did the Blessing Elixir fail this time?

Is it because Slughorn has been away from Hogwarts for so long that his knowledge and skills have begun to wane?
Apparition is a form of magical travel.It allows users to get where they want to go.

This way of travel is not comfortable, there is a feeling of getting into a small water pipe abruptly, and then pulling it out a little bit.Not every wizard likes to Apparate, some prefer to travel on broomsticks, Floo powder or Portkeys.

Al didn't like it, so it resisted so fiercely before setting off.

Toby also doesn't like Apparition. He prefers flying carpets, where he can rest, eat, and even sleep under the quilt.

It's a pity that flying carpets are prohibited items in the UK, and wizards are not allowed to use flying carpets to travel, because they are too easy for Muggles to see.

There is another reason for Toby's resistance to apparation-it is difficult to skillfully use apparition, and short-distance is okay, but if the distance is too long, it will be difficult to do it, which may lead to disastrous consequences. Only extremely powerful Only wizards have such strength.

Toby often needs to go archaeological all over the world. The ancient ruins are the kind of places that contain unknown dangers. He never uses apparation to reach the destination before archaeology. The risk of doing so is too high and it is not worth doing.

Although Toby was about to arrive at the entrance of the Ministry of Magic at that time, there was a long distance from Hogwarts.But this time, with the help of the Bliss Elixir, Toby thought it would be safe.

As a result, he somehow appeared deep in the Forbidden Forest.

This is far away from the place he originally expected - the gate of the school, and it will take a lot of time to return to the castle.

And for some reason, this time the Felicia elixir had a completely counterproductive effect, just like now——

"Al! Al!"

Toby's running posture became extremely weird, his body was stiff, his upper body seemed to be under a petrification spell, and his lower body couldn't bend his legs.

He shook his empty sleeves and shouted, "Did you find my arm?"

Toby split.

This kind of predicament that only novices would encounter unexpectedly happened to Toby. He has used Apparation for so long, no matter how unfamiliar he is, he will not be separated.

The most irritating thing is that there is nothing wrong with Al, it is obvious that they apparated together - Al laughed at Toby for a long time before looking for the arm, and finally shook his body Search everywhere.

After hearing Toby's call, there was a sound of "Yeah" in the distance, and the figure of Al on the small flying carpet gradually appeared in the dense forest.

"Yeah"

Al's tone was uncommonly hesitant, and Toby asked anxiously: "What's the matter, did you find anything? Could it be that your arm fell where it was before you left?"

The two arms appearing out of thin air will definitely scare the Muggles around. The Ministry of Magic does not know how many people's memories will be erased for this. This will get Toby into trouble. Lucius will definitely not miss this opportunity .

"Yeah" Al still hesitated.

Toby understood, and he blinked: "Huh? It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"

About a few seconds later, a figure suddenly appeared from the woods - black hair, black body, looks very rough, the injury on the opponent's chest has formed a long scar.

It was Bane the Centaur.

He stared angrily at the two uninvited guests, gritted his teeth and said, "Damn Toby Highmore, you dare to appear in the Forbidden Forest after threatening my people—"

Toby immediately saw an arm that Bane was holding tightly in his hand, and he also saw a swollen bulge on Bane's forehead, and the elbow of the arm was also swollen.

Judging from the injuries in these two locations, it is estimated that the arm slammed Bane only a few minutes ago.

"What a coincidence."

Toby murmured, and the magic ball floated out of his witch robe pocket and landed in front of Al.

"Quick fight, don't kill Baine, I don't have time to waste with him."

After getting Toby's permission, Al didn't have to worry about being condemned by Dumbledore. It cheered, its small eyes narrowed, and it stared at Bane maliciously.

Facts have proved that Felix Elixir still played some role, and Al's strength was not affected. It summoned a set of ropes through the magic circle, and the furious Bane was stunned for a while, and even in the process of rushing forward, he took the rope The head was inserted into the noose, and then it was tightly bound.

Al looked at Bane contemptuously, and it pulled his arm over and placed it on Toby's right shoulder.Then it took out its belly pocket again, took out a small bottle of transparent potion and poured it on the joint, making a whistling sound and white mist.

Toby endured the discomfort and moved his shoulders a few times. He ignored Bane, whose eyes were about to pop out, and said to Al with a limp: "Thank God, the arm fell in the Forbidden Forest. We should find it." The second arm—”

At this time, a large group of centaur figures sprang out from the woods one after another, and the leader was none other than the leader Margaret, who also held a separate arm in his hand.

Surprisingly, there was also a swelling on his forehead.

"Toby Highmore!"

Margery saw Bain who couldn't get up at a glance, and anger burst out in his eyes: "I will never allow anyone to trample on the dignity of the centaur!"

Toby was stunned, and he sighed deeply, only feeling a wave of irritability rushing to his heart, and his hair drooped, covering his gloomy sight.

He held the black walnut wand tightly in his remaining right hand, and the magic ball floated beside his head.Al on his shoulders opened his eyes excitedly, took out a lot of strange things from his belly pocket, and finally raised his small shovel and shouted excitedly.

"ah!"

"Yes, it's time for the people of Elmar to know who allowed them to live in the Forbidden Forest."

Toby put Dumbledore's instructions behind him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the witch robe unbuttoned automatically, revealing a strong body covered with hideous and terrifying scars, which was no different from the ones displayed in the school newspaper. The calf is less described.

The eyes of the horsemen became serious, and they flicked their hooves uneasily——

On Toby's body, deeper than the scars, there are black magic circles, dense and tight, emitting a faint light. From a distance, one can feel the cold evil spreading around.

Just like the name Toby had given up on long ago——

black devil.

Invisible black flames enveloped his surroundings.Under the sight of the horsemen, Toby seemed to have turned into a real devil, more real than the fantasy constructed by the magic ball.

A trace of black mist flashed in Toby's pupils, he cast a cold gaze at the horsemen, and whispered in a hoarse voice:
"Why do people always forget this."

"I'm an even more Slytherin than Slytherin himself."
