Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 203 Induction Training
Poor Remus Lupine had no idea that he was being used by Toby as the executioner.

But if you talk about it carefully, he was tricked by Toby to the snow mountain where his tail was almost frozen.

【risk?No, there is no need to worry.Just consider it an outing.Trust me, you won't regret it. 】

Then Lupine was frozen and ran away halfway, and he didn't even have the nerve to ask for follow-up compensation.

Toby learned something from this incident, that is, even werewolves are afraid of the cold.

After waking up the next day, Toby and Er Qiqi fell into deep thought.

They didn't give Remus Lupine a second thought, he'd be at Hogwarts anyway, and Toby didn't have to worry about that.

As for Al, it didn't know Lupine at all.

Snow Mountain Adventure appeared before Mason Gate, and there was no Al at that time.

Snape wasn't at Hogwarts, probably back in Spider's End.

Dumbledore wasn't there either, he was always busy and didn't know what he was busy with.

Compared with the previous times when Hogwarts lost control, this was the first time that no one continued to watch Toby.

But he couldn't help but care about the reason for the loss of control.

"Could it be related to the stolen magic ball?" Toby said to himself: "Or the hidden danger has inevitably become deeper and deeper."

Al also had a sad face, he was afraid that one day Snape would turn the Potion of Living Hell into poison.

Besides, Potion of Living Hell doesn't always work.

It raised its head and asked Toby about his next plan.

"Let me see," Toby whispered, letting his hair hang down over his eyes.

"Let me think about it again."
-
At Remus Lupine's house.

"Induction training?"

Lupine looked at Toby puzzledly: "Are you referring to the interview? No problem, any time—"

"No." Toby interrupted: "It's not an interview, but an induction training, specifically for the induction training of Defense Against the Dark Arts professors."

"I don't understand," said Lupine confused. "Is this really your responsibility? You haven't been headmaster yet—"

"It's not important!" Toby interrupted again: "You just need to treat this as a newly added system."

"You decide?" Lupine asked.

Toby pushed back his long hair and smiled big: "That's right."

Lupine sighed, he looked very young, but his light brown hair was already a little gray, which made him look a little helpless.

But he was not angry, but put down the suitcase in his hand, sat on the sofa with a helpless smile and said: "I originally planned to prepare for the after-school courses in advance, but--well, whatever you say, as long as Just take me to archaeology."

"Don't worry." Toby sat opposite Lupin, and he said with a smile: "After you became arrogant and pampered, I have already had more archaeological experience, so I don't need to rush to find any ancient ruins. And it’s not so easy to find. Besides, I already have Al as my assistant now, so I don’t need to ask you for help.”

Despite the suspicion of being disgusted, Lupine acted as if he was relieved.

"That's good," he said, then turned to look at Al, who had been arranged in the living room. Is it really a snuffer?"

"At least it seems to be." Toby changed the subject and said, "And here, Al, draw the center of the magic circle under the sofa where Remus is sitting - don't worry, you don't have to stand up."

He got up and pressed Lupine's shoulders, and pushed him back onto the sofa: "This is just a small test, a test specifically for Defense Against the Dark Arts professors."

"Not for werewolves?" Lupine asked in surprise. He saw Al sprinkle a pile of suspicious-looking powder on his feet, which smelled like rotten wood, or something else.

For example, bone powder.

He knew Toby and thought it was a possibility.

"No." Toby said: "This is also part of the induction training. You may not be aware that since I returned to Hogwarts to work, the last two Defense Against the Dark Arts professors have not been very good. One Dead, one is worse than dead."

"Worse than dying?" Lupine asked suspiciously. He saw that Al sprinkled a few red leaves near the sofa, as if they had been soaked in blood. He really hoped that it was just the color of wine.

"Because I'm eyeing that man." Toby said, "I promise, when I catch him, it will make him worse than death."

Lupine looked Toby up and down: "Don't tell me you plan to use that person to do ancient magic experiments? I persuaded you when I was in school, and it's the same now. It's dangerous, and you don't have to do it."

"I'll make sure it's safe," Toby said, though he didn't say exactly what it was.

As early as in contact with him when he was in school, Lupine gradually got used to Toby's style, and knew how crazy he was in his bones, and he even did not hesitate to experiment on himself-of course, from now on, others bear the burden. may be more.

"All right!"

Toby clapped his hands and said, letting Al climb up the arm.

He checked the magic circle on the ground with satisfaction. Although the magic ball was gone, it wasn't just the magic ball that could cast the magic circle. Otherwise, Toby would have died in the city ruins of Loch Ness long ago.

"What's this for?" Lupine had gradually accepted the current situation, and he thought that Toby would at least not harm himself.

"Divination." Toby said amazing words in a flat tone: "I want to use this magic circle to predict the consequences you may encounter. If you are lucky, you may be able to predict your death in advance."

Lupine was about to sit up subconsciously: "Stop joking, how can you have any talent for divination? Now I wonder if you deliberately lured me into a werewolf in advance."

"Don't joke about something so serious," Toby snapped. "That's at least until we find Black—oh no, that's impossible."

"What did I hear just now?" Lupine who was pushed down stood up again: "You want to use me against Sirius?"

"It's just a joke." Toby shook his shoulders and laughed out loud with Al: "Hahaha! How funny!"

It can only be said that Lupine's temper is really good. After saying "this is not funny", he sat back again, looked at the complicated lines under his feet and asked, "Why do you have to use divination? Method? If there are so many coincidences, shouldn't you see if there is a curse on me?"

"That's the problem." Toby said, "Unfortunately, you are a werewolf, and this ability is a curse. It is difficult to find other curses on you, and they will be forcibly covered up. Okay. Already!" He suddenly said with a louder voice: "Now, stay relaxed, Remus, try to put aside distracting thoughts, I'm not sure if this divination will be successful. To be honest, I haven't used this magic circle a few times yet. .”

"What did you say--!"

"Dinewitson!"

A red spell shot from the black walnut wand hit Lupine who was about to get up for the third time, his panicked face was immediately fixed, and at the same time, the magic circle under his feet suddenly emitted a dark glow The light formed a red mist, enveloping Lupine bit by bit.

In the smoke, another shadow separated from Lupin's body, and turned into a ferocious werewolf in the blink of an eye.The werewolf appeared between Toby and Lupine out of the screen. He roared wildly and made an attacking gesture, but he was hit by many spells in the blink of an eye, and he backed up again and again, his hair was burnt a lot. About to become dying.

At this moment, the smoke dispersed with a bang.

Lupine, who had regained his freedom, looked at the red fireworks falling from the ceiling, and asked in confusion, "What is that? Did you really succeed in divination?"

Toby looked away from the expression on Lupin's face. He rested his thumb on his chin, his long curly hair falling down a little bit, and Al followed suit with a look of contemplation.

"At least we know the time," Toby whispered. "A full moon, if nothing else, a full moon. You're going to be attacked on a full moon and get some kind of serious consequence—what will it be?"

At the word "full moon", Lupine's expression became vaguely pained.

"I remember that the reason we first met was because of the full moon when we were in school." He said with a depressed mood: "And later, when we were looking for ancient ruins on the snowy mountains, we also experienced a full moon together."

"That's right." Toby frowned tightly: "But after you mentioned it, I thought of other people-James, Sirius, and that follower. Is it Nimagus?"

"Not yet, we have to wait until the fifth grade." Lupine forced a smile: "But you already learned the Patronus Charm during that accident, which is amazing. You haven't told me when Can you summon the Patronus?"

"Third grade." Toby said: "I learned to summon a tangible patron saint in the third grade, but in the second grade I accidentally succeeded once, it was just an invisible patron saint, a very thin layer of smoke .It was also in the same year that Professor Slughorn comforted me in private, and I also met Severus and Lily at that time, and they saw the scene when I accidentally succeeded."

"Sounds really good," Lupine recalled: "I remember being in the second grade, and being found out to be a werewolf by a few other people-it was really difficult to keep hiding it, and the excuse of asking for leave every month was too poor gone."

The two chatted for a while, with a hint of sympathy for each other.

One is worried that he will be exposed as a werewolf, while the other is trying to fight back after being bullied, gradually becoming more Slytherin than Slytherin.

Regarding the results of the "divination", they still don't understand why that picture appeared for the time being. What they can confirm at present is that it will only happen when the full moon is full, and they need to pay extra attention.

Lupine didn't regard the induction training as a short-term event at all, he only thought it was the concern of a few friends.

And, to be honest, he really didn't have many friends left.

Gradually, the topic was brought to Harry Potter, which is nothing to shy away from.Remus was acting a bit sentimental, Toby was completely indifferent.

"Harry's eyes are very similar to his mother." Toby said, "But I noticed that Black went to him after he escaped from prison. What do you think is the reason?"

"You-Know-Who." Lupine shook his head. "That's all I can think of. It's hard to imagine him doing such a thing."

"No." Toby said suddenly: "I suspect there may be other reasons. According to my later discovery, the target of Black's true allegiance may be other people—someone who is also pursuing the secrets of ancient magic."

"The strongest evidence is that someone stole my magic ball and asked Black to leave without any resistance."

"Who could it be?" Lupine asked immediately.

"It's not clear yet." Toby shook his head and said, "But I gave Harry Potter a contact tool, and this is it."

He showed the skull to Lupine, then ignored Lupine's strange gaze and continued, "When Black shows up again, I'll know who it is."

"Well," Lupine said hesitantly, "As expected of you, even the contact items are so unique."

Toby just wanted to say a few words of humility, but the mouth of the skull suddenly moved up and down, and Harry's cautious voice came out from inside, as if he was hiding somewhere.

"Professor Highmore, Professor Highmore."

Toby and Lupine exchanged a cautious look, and he immediately asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Potter?"

"I suspect someone is staring at me." Harry quickly replied, "But I'm not sure if it's Sirius Black."

"Why? Didn't I tell you? Either Black himself, or a big black dog, you should know what he looks like."

"I know, Professor. But what if I mean what if it's a Dalmatians?"

Dalmatians?
Toby gave Lupine a questioning look, and Lupine shook his head, indicating that the Animagus could not have changed, unless Sirius had fallen into the white lime and deliberately faked it to look like this.

"Don't go out." Toby finally warned: "Find a place to hide, I will rush there now."

"Do you need my help?" Lupine asked hastily.

"No." Toby asked Al to hold on to his collar, and rejected Lupine's offer by the way.The full moon will be in a few days, and Lupine is very weak at this time, and it will be difficult to help.

With a crackling sound, Toby and Alzizi appeared in Harry's bedroom, and saw Harry crouching carefully by the window, holding the skull in his hand.

"Where is it?" Toby asked, striding forward.

Harry didn't expect Professor Highmore to come so quickly. He pointed out the window and said hastily, "It's right there, Professor, under that tree!"

Toby looked immediately, and there really was a Dalmatians under the big tree outside the fence. It couldn't be a black dog dyed this color on purpose, and it looked different from Sirius' Animagus.

"Al, you stay here and protect Harry!"

After saying this, Toby suddenly jumped out along the window. Dalmatian seemed to be frightened when he saw him, and ran away quickly.

It is impossible that the noise made by the apparition would not attract other people in the room, but after seeing Toby suddenly appearing outside the window, the Vernon family immediately sat down obediently in the living room on the first floor, staring at the unturned TV , It looks like the show is very interesting.

"Is Professor Highmore going to be okay?" Harry asked worriedly.

Al, who was vigilantly checking the bedroom, shook his head. Compared with Toby and the Dalmatians, he was more worried about the impact of the "Secrecy Act", and hoped that Toby would not be arrested and imprisoned.

Yes, the Secrecy Act.

It was broad daylight, and there were Muggles all over the neighborhood, and it was impossible for Toby not to notice.

But he was already prepared.

"Where are you going!"

The shiny silver shovel swung down violently, scaring the Dalmatians so that it jumped away, and the grass clippings were picked up into the air. Toby swept the shovel to the left familiarly: "Eat me with a shovel!"

After Quirrell died, Toby didn't use this trick for a long time.

But unlike the imagined picture, the Dalmatians escaped again and again, as if covered with springs, and it didn't shout, just buried its head in running for its life.

This is obviously not an ordinary Dalmatians.

Toby ignored the screaming crowd around him, but Dalmatians obviously didn't want more people to find out, it hurried into a small alley, and Toby followed closely.

This is a dead end.

Dalmatians turned around and saw Toby holding up the shovel with a smirk, and just as he was about to swing it down, Dalmatians suddenly stood up and gradually turned into a human form.

"Stop! Stop! It's me! You really haven't changed at all."

Toby looked at the man in front of him.

"Reculus?" He asked in a low voice, "You are Regulus? Are you still alive?"

Regulus gasped and said, "Yes, that's right—"

Just then, he noticed Toby's long hair drooping suddenly, covering his eyes.Almost at the same time, Regulus felt bad. He swung his wand quickly and turned into a cloud of black smoke, but was still hit by Toby's spell and fell to the end of the alley.

"Death Eaters."

While Regulus was screaming, he saw Toby slowly walking in front of him, and said in a bad tone: "I heard that you later became a Death Eater, it seems that you escaped the Ministry of Magic by chance." Hunting, what a pity, I was very optimistic about you, no matter what, compared with your brother, at least you are loyal enough to Slytherin House."

"tell me"

He stepped hard on Regulus' palm, kicked the wand aside, and said coldly, "Where is Black hiding? Did you take him away? Tell me!"

"Don't be like this—" Regulus said with a pale face: "Things are not what you think, I'm here to help you, Toby."

"The Dark Lord, the Dark Lord, is still in Azkaban, we must stop him!"

"Stop him from killing all the prisoners!"
