Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 22

The weather in September was breezy and breezy. The morning breeze passed through the window and blew on the figures of the two beds, one big and one small. They turned over at the same time and covered the quilt a little tighter.

The professor's office is not only a place to work, but also a dormitory for professors in the school.It's just that the two are usually separated by a door. The dormitory of the professor of ancient magic is in the back half of the office, and it is the largest one compared with other dormitories.

The reason why he didn’t close the windows when he slept was because of the archaeologist’s sequelae. As long as it’s not particularly cold, Toby will try his best to hear the surrounding noises when he sleeps while ensuring safety, so as not to really sleep. Waking up, dying in a dream.

There is a golden horn on the head of the bed, which is the horn of the Riem bull.

The Riem cow is a XXXX-level magical animal, very rare, like a giant cow with golden fur.Riem's ​​blood can give the drinker a temporary boost in strength.But because the supply of this blood is small, it is rarely available on the open market, and it is not easy to come by.

This horn is one of Toby's many collections, and he found it in the ancient ruins, or it is more suitable to say that the ancient cemetery is full of bones, as if there was a war.

Until now, Toby has not figured out the origin of the Horn War, or why the two sides fought, and he couldn't even confirm who the two sides were.

However, this is normal in the process of exploring ancient ruins, not every adventure can have sufficient harvest.

But this horn was still kept by Toby, and it finally came in handy——

When the sun rose slowly from the horizon, the sun shone on the horn, which seemed to be a signal for war, and from the horn suddenly came the cry of Riem cattle.

Toby closed his eyes, stretched out his arms and touched the head of the bed back and forth, grabbed the horn, and threw it hard a few times.

The horn finally stopped.

It's still an alarm clock.

"Wake up, Al." Toby said, getting up in a daze.

Al stretched his paws and got up too, and it climbed onto Toby's shoulders without even taking off the nightcap, which Toby tore off and threw away.

The toothpaste in the bathroom has been automatically squeezed on two toothbrushes, one large and one small, and they fly up to clean their teeth.

After washing up, Toby had changed his clothes, his long hair was pushed back, and Al put on the half-moon glasses again.

Toby took out the teacher's timetable and glanced at it. In the morning there was a class for first-year freshmen. It is estimated that this will be the first class for freshmen at Hogwarts, followed by second, third, and fourth grades. till the end.

This was requested by Toby on his own initiative. As a new course, if even the freshmen can accept it more easily, then the older students should have no problem, unless their brains are like giant monsters and they can't understand anything.

"I never thought I would go back to school and teach one day."

Toby murmured after thinking: "Then let's set a small goal first, at least it must be more popular than that guy Severus."

Al nodded in agreement, with a look of disdain for Snape on his face.

The ancient magic classroom is located on the seventh floor of the castle, on the same floor as Toby's office.As a professor he didn't have to eat in the Great Hall all the time, the house elf in the kitchen could bring breakfast to the office, which he had been doing for a while.

After eating and drinking, Toby went out and turned left, and walked a few steps to the classroom.

He came very early and there were no students in the classroom yet.

Unexpectedly, Dumbledore came earlier than him, and was already sitting in the sofa chair in the front corner of the classroom, reading a copy of "Transfiguration Today".

"Morning, Toby, morning, Al."

"Morning, Principal."

"ah!"

It is not so easy to be a professor at Hogwarts. Even Dean McGonagall started as an assistant in the Transfiguration course.

Toby skipped this stage directly, but whether it was for the inspection of the new curriculum or for Toby's consideration, he needed to accept the professor's audit for a whole week.

Today is Headmaster Dumbledore.It was obvious that he took the course very seriously.

Toby didn't have any dissatisfaction, he was much happier than Snape.

It is said that what Snape first wanted to teach was Defense Against the Dark Arts, but he failed and became a professor of potions.

Toby was able to teach ancient magic from the beginning.

But Snape also has something better than him. He was the dean of Slytherin as soon as he became a professor.

Therefore, the current score is one to one.

Toby sat at his desk, quietly reading his notes, while the metal ball from Gringotts floated slowly beside his head.

And Al was already standing on Dumbledore's shoulders, reading "Transfiguration Today" with him.

Dumbledore smiled gently, but didn't stop.

Gradually, a group of students who had just finished breakfast flooded into the classroom.

This reflects the benefits of Dumbledore's presence. They didn't dare to make loud noises at all, but only dared to glance at the weird Al (can it understand?), and Professor Highmore, who was always looking at the notes without looking up .

His hair drooped again because he lowered his head, blocking his eyes, looking not to be trifled with.

This is a class where Gryffindor and Slytherin are in class together. Both sides see that they are not fighting each other, and they sit on both sides of the classroom.

After a while, the class bell rang, and there was a rush of footsteps in the silent corridor, and Harry and Ron hurried to the door of the classroom.

"Sorry, Professor Highmore." Ron panted and explained, "We took the wrong stairs and ended up accidentally—"

"Late for no reason."

Toby interrupted suddenly.

He finally stood up, his hair drifting back one by one, revealing his angular face.

He didn't smile.

"One point from Gryffindor."

His tone was very calm, but Ron blushed suddenly, and Harry lowered his head deeply.

They silently walked to the empty seats and sat down. A little blond boy not far away laughed loudly.Harry turned his head angrily, and recognized that it was Draco Malfoy he had met on the carriage.

But at this moment-

"Disrupting the classroom."

Toby said indifferently: "Slytherin deducts one point."

Draco had a choked expression, no better than Ron.

The freshman's first class hadn't started yet, but points had already been deducted from both colleges.

Next, Toby picked up the roster and read out the names of the students one by one. Everyone who was called seemed to be sent to the guillotine in advance. Neville's voice trembled, but no one dared to laugh.

Toby put down the roll, and he stared at the students below.

"This course is called Ancient Magic. It is a course full of dangers and even more dangerous. I believe that many of you have never heard of my name before this, but that doesn't matter."

"At least, it's not as important as ancient magic."

At this moment, the metal ball suddenly spread out and fell on the ground as if it had melted, turning into a silver and gold intertwined liquid, surging towards the surroundings like sea waves, scaring many people to raise their feet quickly, unable to bear it Scream out loud.

It seemed that in the blink of an eye, the silver covered the entire classroom, and the gold turned into thin lines, forming an extremely complicated pattern on the silver.Only Hermione noticed that it was a magic circle, and it was an extremely rare hexagram.

Immediately afterwards, the magic circle emitted a burst of dazzling light, and the whole classroom changed completely. They appeared at the bottom of a lake out of thin air. Many people quickly covered their mouths and noses, but found that they could still breathe.

At this time, Toby's voice sounded again, and a black shadow slowly swam in the lake behind him, too big to see what it was.

"I want to teach you something. This is the duty of a professor. But after thinking about it, I found that nothing seems to be comparable to the two characteristics of ancient magic."

"That's the danger, and more danger."

"It's like a magic circle that traps you all of a sudden. This is not the most critical moment I have ever encountered."

"Besides, there is something more dangerous. That is—"

A huge black shadow swam over, and it seemed that it finally found Toby. Many students pointed at Toby's back and shouted loudly: "Professor Haimer, there is something swimming behind you!"

But Toby didn't look back, but smiled at the students for the first time.

He finally continued, his tone just casual.

"die."

Xuepen opened his mouth wide and swallowed Toby in one go.

The students were all frightened, trembling and speechless.

Professor Highmore is dead?
