Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 151 The Revive Mask and Slytherin

"Ahhh-!"

Malfoy's screams stopped abruptly.

Until now, Harry and Hermione didn't understand why this scene happened repeatedly before their eyes - they saw a large ball of cloth extending from the monster's palm, wrapping Malfoy's whole body in the blink of an eye, It also made his next cry blocked in his throat.

Immediately afterwards, Malfoy, who was covered in bandages, seemed to be petrified, and fell to the ground stiffly, becoming one of the other mummies, motionless.

Harry was already stunned: "What the hell is this, we have been dealing with such dangerous things in class-uh!"

Hermione suddenly covered Harry's mouth tightly, and her other hand had already grasped the Invisibility Cloak, covering herself, Harry, and the little mummy on the ground.

Harry clearly saw the cold sweat on the tip of Hermione's nose, and knew that she was as frightened as he was.

Hermione put her finger to her mouth in a shh gesture.Through the invisibility cloak, Harry saw that the black-eyed mummy turned his eyes away from Malfoy, and turned to the three who had just disappeared.

Harry was so nervous that his heart was about to jump out of his throat. Fortunately, the mummy couldn't see through the invisibility cloak. The other party quickly looked away, leaving the other mummies on the floor alone, and walked back to the pharaoh's coffin step by step. He reached out and grabbed the lid, and closed himself again.

The two finally dared to take a big breath, and they were almost suffocated.

"What's going on?" Harry asked puzzled, "Why did it go back?"

"Maybe it's a trap, like the danger that Malfoy encountered just now." Hermione thought about it, "Or maybe... maybe that mummy is really Professor Highmore? Is this just part of today's confinement?"

They couldn't figure out why Professor Highmore did this. And Ron, after turning into a mummy, can he return to normal?

But speaking of Ron
Harry looked around, and suddenly, a chill came to his heart.

"Hermione."

"what happened?"

"Ron Ron he's gone! He—ah!"

The little mummy that was originally covered under the invisibility cloak suddenly came back to life. It didn't know when it escaped from the range of the invisibility cloak, but it still grabbed Harry's neck through the invisibility cloak, strangling him until he couldn't breathe!
"Quick—let go!"

Hermione anxiously took out her wand, and shouted in a panic: "Everything is petrified!"

The spell worked, and the little mummy immediately straightened up, fell to the floor, and rolled back and forth several times.

Harry was crying and rubbing his red neck constantly. Hermione just wanted to help him, but then something even more terrifying happened.

The mummies that had been scattered on the floor were revived one by one. They got up and wandered aimlessly in the room, walking around.

Harry and Hermione were so frightened that they forgot to breathe, until they saw two mummies collided into each other and began to fight slowly. Judging from the size of the two mummies - it seemed that one was Wood and the other was Flint.

It wasn't long before more mummies joined the brawl, and Harry vaguely recognized Alicia Spinnet, Angelina Johnson, and two identical mummies, presumably Frey Dick and George, who were messing around with the Slytherin mummy, messing up the office.

"I said." Harry whispered, "How did they remember their identities? Didn't they forget to speak out at this time?"

Hermione's eyes lit up little by little as she thought of more.

"Professor Haimer." She suppressed her excitement and said, "In other words, Professor Haimer has not completely turned into a mummy. As long as we can help him return to normal, we can end the confinement and restore others to their original state ?”

Harry looked at Hermione in surprise and joy, but the next second he became depressed: "But what should we do, I seem to know, the pharaoh mask, as long as we can help the professor take off the pharaoh mask, we will Like what Professor Hammer did to the rooster in his ancient magic class."

The two quickly made a plan. They quietly walked around the mummies who were fighting fiercely, and finally came to the pharaoh's coffin after passing by Malfoy who also stood up.

At this time, they were still hiding under the invisibility cloak. According to their plan, the two had to climb to the top of the pharaoh's coffin, and then jumped down after Professor Haimo came out again, so as to remove the pharaoh's mask.

This is the most unexpected way. They are not as tall as Professor Highmore, and they cannot stop each other face to face.

But how to climb up?

The surface of the coffin was smoother than Harry had imagined, and he knew that if they wanted to climb up smoothly, they had only one chance, otherwise they might alarm the professor in the coffin.

Harry turned to look at Hermione, and he said calmly, "I have a way, you will climb up on my back in a moment - no, keep listening to me -" he interrupted before Hermione could speak : "I know it's dangerous, but... oh, admit it, Hermione, I'm a Quidditch player anyway, and you're so much lighter than me, don't let me step on you. You're quick, I can catch Professor Highmore's attention after he comes out and buy you time, and if I'm lucky, maybe I won't—"

He glanced back at the mummies gathered together. To be honest, Harry felt that he might become one of them, and there was no way he could avoid the consequences.

Hermione knew this was indeed the best way.

"You have to be careful, Harry," she said worriedly.

Harry nodded, and he bent down in an arch bridge position, while Hermione carefully stepped on his back, looking up at the top of the coffin.

"A little bit."

"Okay, when I count to three, you jump up, one two three!"

Harry raised it up with all his strength, his face flushed, and at the same time, Hermione leaped vigorously, covering most of her body on the coffin, and hurriedly moved her legs to it.

In the next second, Hermione's toes were brushed, and the coffin was opened from the inside.At this time, the bandages on the mummy in the coffin had turned into pitch black, and the pharaoh's mask seemed to be a real face. His smoky eyes opened and landed on Harry like sharp arrows.

In this short moment, Harry felt that he was shrouded in infinite fear, unable to move any more, and the bait plan he had thought up before could not be carried out.

I don't know when, the mummies gathered together stopped beating each other. They were attracted by their higher status, and saluted slowly involuntarily.

The black mummy lifted its steps, it walked up to Harry, lifted him up, and stared straight into his eyes, those amazing green eyes
At this moment, Hermione, who was standing on the top of the coffin, jumped down. She hooked the shoulder of the black mummy, and held the edge of the mask tightly with one hand, trying to pull it off forcefully.

A shrill scream resounded throughout the classroom, and the black mummy threw Harry away at once. Its arms kept tossing back and forth, and countless strips of cloth stretched out from its body, and it was about to turn Hermione into a Mummy, and the rest of the servants are coming—

"what--!!"

The screaming suddenly became countless times more terrifying, and Harry, who regained consciousness, rushed to help. He jumped up and grabbed the edge of the pharaoh's mask with both hands-at this moment, the mask was like theirs. As seen in the hallucinations during class, he came to life alone, staring at Harry in front of him with resentment in his eyes.

In the same way, the other pair of eyes behind these eyes saw the face in front of them, and the familiar eyes on it.

"No"

Amid the screams came another voice, Professor Highmore's original voice.

Harry felt a huge force coming from the other person, and he couldn't hold on to the mask any longer, and was thrown violently, flying a high parabola, and landed on the soft sofa at the other end of the room.Even Hermione was just thrown into the pharaoh's coffin.

"Cough cough."

Harry coughed hard twice, he glanced at it inadvertently, but he couldn't look away immediately, he could only watch the horrible scene in the room - all the mummies went crazy The black mummy jumped on them, and they desperately pressed their hands on the pharaoh's mask, unwilling to let Professor Haimo, who was awake, tear it off his face.

The screaming became more and more piercing, and Harry covered his ears in pain as he saw the mummies thrown all over the place like cardboard men, leaving a clearing in the blink of an eye.

The black mummy clasped his hands to the edge of the pharaoh's mask, and tore it out little by little. Unwilling howls continued to come from the mouth of the mask. Under the mask were dense strips of decayed cloth, which were connected to the face behind. These strips were also The jet black one didn't seem to belong to the original mask, but even so, it didn't want to be taken off.

The two fought each other desperately, and the mask was pulled farther and farther away from the head. Suddenly, a dark, dim light shone from the black mummy, and it became brighter and brighter in the blink of an eye, almost blinding the eyes.

Harry quickly raised his arm, and finally put it down after the light gradually dissipated. He quickly touched his body and found that he was still alive.

For a split second, Harry thought that the hallucination experience in the classroom would be re-enacted in the office - when Professor Highmore cleaned up all the mummies.

In the reality in front of him, Professor Haimo finally returned to normal, with long hair drooping in front of his eyes, holding the Pharaoh's mask that no longer changes in one hand, and clenched his other hand tightly, twitching non-stop, as if Suppress sharp pain.

"Professor"

The first person to react was Hermione, who couldn't believe what she had seen.

"Is that a magic circle?" She asked incredulously, "Professor, is your body engraved with magic circles?"

Magic circle? !

Harry Yaoyao and Hermione exchanged a look. They both knew how dangerous the magic circle was, and it would explode if they were not careful, but Professor Highmore actually engraved magic circles all over his body?

He... is he committing suicide?
"ah!"

Al appeared from nowhere, sitting on the flying carpet, holding a dustpan and broom in his hand, miraculously swept all the mummies on the ground into it.

Then it flew up to Hermione, tilting its neck and giving her a few glances.

"Mr. Al, this is Professor Highmore?"

"ah!"

Al didn't intend to explain at all, he handed the dustpan to Hermione, then flew behind her, pushed her to the office door, and brought Harry with him by the way.

After arriving in the corridor, Al roughly pointed in the direction of the school hospital, and gave them a quick look.

"ah!"

After a final farewell, the office door closed in front of Harry and Hermione.

One of them is holding a dustpan, the other is holding a broom, and they haven't recovered from this series of changes.

"Those patterns really seem to be magic circles." Hermione murmured, "The professor has been using himself to complete the research on ancient magic. How did he survive so many unknown risks?"

Harry opened his mouth. There were many doubts in his heart, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Is this the house he almost got sorted into - Slytherin?
