Archaeologists at Hogwarts

133 Pandora

"Pandora?!"

Xenophilius screamed excitedly: "Is it you? Pandora?! You... you resurrected?"

"Don't get excited, Mr. Lovegood."

Just as Toby wanted to explain what happened, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something outside the window, turned his head, and saw Luna flying over on a Thestral, floating at the window, staring straight at it. They, and the black notebook in Xenophilius' hand.

Both people in the room were startled by this scene—especially Xenophilius, in his eyes Luna flew up out of thin air, with nothing under her body.

Toby quickly opened the window, Xenophilius immediately stepped forward, he carefully carried Luna into the bedroom, Toby stared angrily at the Thestrals, but the Thestrals turned around and turned their backs to him again, ignoring Luna. ignore.

Back in the house, Luna reached out to Xenophilius, and he handed her the notebook more carefully than before.

After seeing the line of text on the notebook, Luna's eyes suddenly became sparkling.

Toby handed her an ordinary quill and said at the same time: "You have to communicate with Pandora through text-but, Mr. Lovegood, you should understand that Pandora cannot be resurrected from the dead."

Xenophilius gradually calmed down after seeing his daughter.

"So what's going on here?" he asked.

"It's hard to explain."

Toby didn't start well, but he had to break Mr. Lovegood's illusions ahead of time, and there was no need to hide anything from the father and daughter.

"The key lies in the black quill just now, which is also the last one. It can pass through some magic that I haven't figured out yet. It can make some dead wizards come back to life in some way. But it's not real Resurrection, but something between ghosts and full portraits—you know ghosts and portraits, don't you? I mean the ones at school."

Xenophilius understood.

"It's an imprint." He murmured, "It's the imprint left by Pandora on the world."

"It can be explained in this way." Toby was very happy that Xenophilius finally understood.

But then Xenophilius continued: "The resurrection stone you just used is the resurrection stone?!"

"what?!"

Xenophilius grabbed Toby's arm, he was puzzled, "What resurrection stone?"

"It's one of the Deathly Hallows." Xenophilius asked excitedly, "Haven't you read that story? Wait a minute, I'll find it for you."

When Xenophilius left, Toby noticed that Luna was constantly writing in the notebook.

"Luna, is that really you?"

"It's me, mother."

"Honey, how are you doing—oh, yes, and my experiment? Did it work then?"

"No, Mom, Dad doesn't want me to mention it again, and I'm doing fine."

"That's good. Now, Luna, hand over the notebook to your father. We need to talk about the spell experiment. How can he treat my efforts like this? I mean, at the very least, the cause of my death must be given to you." Announce it, lest other experimenters make the same mistakes."

Coincidentally at this moment, Xenophilius came back with a book that had been turned over many times. He had already turned the book to the page of the story in advance, and when he handed it to Toby, he saw Luna He also handed himself the notebook.

"Oh, let's talk first."

Toby found a seat and sat down. He didn't care about the conversation between Pandora and Xenophilius. Instead, he turned the whole book over and glanced at the cover—"The Tales of Beedle the Poet"

This is a book of fairy tales.

Ok.

Toby said silently in his heart that he no longer had too much hope for the story inside.

He began to silently read the story "Legend of the Three Brothers", which is an ironic fairy tale - the god of death wanted to take the lives of the three brothers, but after the method of using the dangerous river failed, the god of death appeared on his own initiative, The three brothers were bestowed with three powerful magical items-the invincible wand, the resurrection stone, and the invisibility cloak that can avoid death.

In the end, both the eldest and the second child died unexpectedly, and were successfully taken away by the god of death.

Only the third child hid it well. After he was able to accept death, he greeted death like meeting an old friend and left the world.

Toby wasn't sure enough to believe a fairy tale, but at the end of the story, he saw a sign drawn with a quill at the end-a vertical line in the middle, a circle on top of the vertical line, and a circle outside the vertical line and circle. Draw a triangle.

This is the hallmark of the Deathly Hallows.

Toby is no stranger to this symbol. Although he doesn't know much about Gellert Grindelwald, it is enough to know that this is one of his most famous symbols, just like the lion in Gryffindor , Vipers are the same as Slytherin House.

"The former Dark Lord still likes to read fairy tales?"

Toby tapped the paper twice with his fingers, and suddenly he heard a voice beside him asking, "Why is the mother in the portrait missing?"

Toby looked up and saw Luna staring at him directly beside the seat.

"She's in that note now." Toby smiled and said, "If you don't like it, you can open that note and paste it on the portrait again, and then you can see her in the portrait again. But I I have to remind you that the Pandora in the notebook will also disappear.”

Luna didn't answer, she turned her head and silently stared at the portrait of herself, swaying back and forth.

At this time, Xenophilius also came back.

"Can I ask one thing?" he asked hesitantly. "If you really want to buy The Quibbler, can I still write those previous articles?"

It seemed that Pandora's Notebook finally worked. Although he didn't know how they talked, Toby still smiled with satisfaction.

"Of course it's fine."

Toby quickly replied: "I will leave enough pages for you, after all, those articles are quite interesting to read. Besides, I also plan to expand more pages, including ancient magic, and various Lists and the like. In the future, "The Quibbler" will no longer be in the form of a newspaper, but will be published in a style similar to a magic book, and it will use, uh, a weekly or monthly fee model."

"It's too expensive." Xenophilius was surprised: "The Quibbler doesn't have many readers, and they wouldn't pay so much for a magazine."

Toby explained unhurriedly: "According to my vision, from now on, "The Quibbler" will use a large number of changing spells. Readers no longer need to buy newspapers repeatedly, and can always see the latest news on various pages. report."

"As for the price, I have already thought about it. Don't worry, the first book is free, and they only need this one. All the profits will be paid for the subsequent subscriptions."

"Free?" Xenophilius looked at Toby suspiciously: "Do you know how much it costs?"

"Probably thousands of Galleons." Toby had already calculated: "You don't need to worry about this matter, I just need to sell the business of the winery, which is enough to pay for these costs - researching ancient magic always requires Fortunately, all that is needed this time is money."

Xenophilius still felt that this idea was a little too exaggerated.

"But who should cast the changing spell?" He asked: "Such a large number of changing spells can only be done by an extremely powerful wizard. Have you figured out how to find such a person? You Could it be that they want to poach the corner of the "Daily Prophet?"

"No need." Toby reassured, "I happen to know some retired Aurors."

"Two more."
