Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 256 Harry Potter and Dumbledore

Harry thought he was dreaming.

No one knew what the criteria for this teacher's commendation meeting were, and no one knew how the headmaster selected students to teach the professor, but Harry still didn't expect this kind of thing to happen to him-even to teach the headmaster !

Is there anything more absurd than this!

As early as the very beginning, Harry and Ron discovered that Hermione was actually the first batch of students selected, and she still taught Professor McGonagall.

They laughed about it for a long time, playing chess in the common room, waiting for Hermione to come back from the Transfiguration office, even if it was late-they really wanted to know what Hermione gave Professor McGonagall It's time for class.

When Hermione came back before curfew, it was the two of them grinning at her.

But she didn't look angry at all. Instead, she said proudly: "I think you should know that Dean McGonagall is much more kind than you seem."

"By your standards," Ron said abruptly, causing Harry's mouth to part even further.

"Whatever you want." Hermione still said in the same tone: "Transfiguration also has many interesting aspects, and Dean McGonagall is willing to discuss magic circles and ritual magic with me-these are new to all wizards- —and five-legged monsters—I heard Professor Highmore talk about five-legged monsters more than once in class, and I didn’t expect Dean McGonagall to know more.”

Hermione was satisfied to see the expressions she wanted on Ron and Harry's faces.

"Unless you obediently admit your mistakes to me, otherwise—"

"sorry!"

Before Hermione finished speaking complacently, Ron immediately raised his hand in surrender and said, "Go ahead and talk about the five-legged monster. What does Dean McGonagall know? Did she see the five-legged monster with her own eyes?"

Hermione glared at him angrily, and then reluctantly said: "You guessed right, Dean McGonagall has seen a five-legged monster, but it has been a long time since the dean was in the Ministry of Magic. The period of work—but don’t think about it, how could the dean tell me the specific location, the entire island has been cast with an unmarkable spell, and it can only be found by a very special method—Of course, this method Maybe only the Ministry of Magic."

"It's unbelievable," said Ron. "The Dean actually worked in the Ministry of Magic?"

Harry looked at him puzzled: "Isn't it more shocking that the dean saw the five-legged monster with his own eyes?"

At this time, Hermione raised her eyebrows and said, "There is one more thing that is more amazing than the sum of these two—Harry——"

When Harry heard his name, he shuddered inexplicably, and he couldn't tell how much it was out of excitement-could he also have the opportunity to teach the professor?Who is the one?

However, he only wanted to be half right.

"Headmaster Dumbledore."

The only sound in the common room was the sound of burning firewood.

"What?" Ron widened his eyes and said, "You mean, Harry is going to teach the headmaster? When was the headmaster also elected? Didn't he not last time?"

There really wasn't an option to vote for the principal in the last teacher recognition meeting.

"That's not the point, is it?" Hermione said, looking at Ron with the eyes Harry had shown a few minutes ago, "Didn't you understand? Harry is going to teach the headmaster? That's Albus Dumbledore Lido!"

"Oh, yes—wait." Ron frowned again: "What you said is true? What else does the principal need to teach?"

"But the professor doesn't need it either." Hermione said, "Although I don't know very well, this must be a rare opportunity."

"What chance?" Ron asked.

"Sirius." Hermione said in a low voice, "Do you remember our speculation not long ago, that is, the time when Sirius' Animagus appeared at Hogwarts - we didn't guess that the headmaster Did you get him back? Now is your chance to ask him yourself, Harry."

"That's true." Ron agreed, "In case your devil accidentally gets out of control again, although it has something to do with the mysterious man, Sirius also has something to do with it - haven't you been worried about him, Harry, ha profit?"

Ever since Harry heard Dumbledore's name, his head was buzzing, and he probably didn't even listen to the conversation between the two.

He asked in confusion, "I'm going to teach the principal? But what else can I teach him?"

Ron and Hermione exchanged a look, then Qi Qi looked at Harry and said——

"Professor Haimo's ancient magic, this is a bit uncertain. After all, Haimo has known him for a long time, maybe they all know about the same. But the devil——Harry, I think the headmaster probably doesn't know the devil. ?”

"If you can really do this, then not only Professor Highmore can help you, the principal may also be able to help you, he is the most powerful wizard."

Help refers to the hidden danger left by Voldemort in Harry's body, that is, the Horcrux.Now they were doing what Professor Highmore did - learning about devils and Patronuses at the same time, and then summoning Harry's own devil to replace Voldemort's soul within him.

Although they don't know what the relationship between the devil and the soul is, and they don't know whether this method is really effective, but it's not their turn to think about this question now-because Ron and Hermione are still stuck in the first step, even the guardian Even the gods cannot be summoned.

As for Harry, he does not need to learn the Patronus Charm, he can also summon the devil (although it is still Voldemort's, but at least the magic has been learned. However, Professor Highmore's recent courses are also becoming more and more difficult, want to listen to It's hard to understand, let alone face the humanoid devil in the armor, and Professor Haimo who doesn't know if he really turned into a devil.

Especially the latter, which brought unimaginable pressure to the three of them, and they couldn't help but feel that maybe one day the other party would make up an excuse to teach them a lesson, or put them in confinement or something. The students all felt that this should be Professor Haimer's hobby. It is indeed different from ordinary people, but it is very suitable for Professor Haimer.

Harry listened to what the two had to say.

One is to ask about the traces of Sirius.

The other is the devil.

He didn't have too much psychological burden on teaching the principal the devil's magic, because this should be something the principal knew, and it was unlikely that Professor Highmore would hide it from the principal.

Indeed it is.

But in the first class of unique identity swapping, Principal Dumbledore still looked at the devil for too long, so long that Harry couldn't feel resentment in his heart.

By the way, since knowing Sirius is innocent, Harry has transferred this targeted resentment to Pettigrew, and Grindelwald.

Surprisingly, this instead made the Runegrass feel more real, whether it was the accuracy of the grudge's origins, or Voldemort's growing influence on Harry.

"Sorry, Harry."

After noticing Harry's strangeness, Dumbledore waved his wand and let Harry's body fall on the slumped sofa chair: "I ignored your feelings for a while-but I have to say, even if I know it's not Your devil, but still amazing - how do you feel now?"

"A little tired." Harry gasped, feeling exhausted, as if he had just finished Quidditch training, and the magic power in his body was about to be exhausted.

"Just tired?"

Dumbledore asked: "Those resentments—what do you think of those emotions?"

Harry was silent for a moment before saying, "I can't forget these things, Headmaster, I can't accept the way the Ministry has treated Peter Pettigrew, and Grindelwald—" He seemed desperate. Said: "I really don't understand why it has been so long, but no one has been able to find out the truth. Isn't he in Nurmengard?"

Dumbledore stared at Harry quietly, and now all the resentment appeared in Harry's sight, more clearly than when he summoned the devil before.

He could see that Harry had a grudge against himself, like many people, who believed that he should not have let Grindelwald die, but should have killed him in a duel.

Finally, he said: "Many times, the development of things will always exceed our expectations, no one is an exception, Harry, not even me."

Harry seemed to realize that his attitude just now was not very good, which made the expression on his face a little awkward.

But Dumbledore didn't let this awkward atmosphere continue, but smiled and said, "So, is it time to start class now? I haven't had this experience for a long time."

Harry asked in surprise, "You really want to learn about the devil?"

"Yeah." Dumbledore's tone was still relaxed, as if he was saying something that was no big deal: "I also want to know that after waking up in the middle of the night, when I can't eat the chocolate frog in time, will it make me eat the chocolate frog?" What a devil I've become inside."

Harry laughed, and immediately realized that this was actually a matter of privacy, and since the appearance of the Patronus was a secret, so should the devil.

In the next class, Harry didn't have much knowledge to impart, he could only talk about his experience and feelings of learning about the devil.He hesitated for a while because he remembered that during the summer vacation, Professor Highmore had clearly told him not to leave the Room of Requirement, because this was done without the knowledge of the headmaster.

But now, Harry obviously didn't need to worry about this issue. After all, the headmaster even knew his own devil. He must be very clear about what Professor Highmore had done.

Moreover, Harry also learned from Dumbledore that the headmaster trusted Professor Highmore.

"About the Horcruxes. For the time being, we will do it according to Toby's method. I believe he will not ignore the safety of his students. And he really knows more about these ancient magics than I do."

This was already a high evaluation, and Harry hadn't expected to hear such words from the Headmaster.

Before the end of this special class, Harry didn't forget to ask about Sirius.

"He still has things to do." Dumbledore did not fully reveal the fact that Sirius was looking for Regulus, but only said to Harry: "It's very important. If it goes well, wait a while , you should be able to see the above."

This at least proves that Sirius is fine.

thought Harry hopefully.

So, the first class ended like this.

As soon as Harry returned to the common room, he was dragged away by Ron and Hermione, who couldn't wait to hear about Harry's experience.

"...that's all." Harry told the whole story carefully.

"The principal wants to learn about the devil?" Ron was as surprised as Harry was when he first heard the news: "What will he summon? Can you imagine?"

Hermione complained: "How can you agree, Harry? Have you forgotten how Professor Highmore taught us, it is very dangerous magic, what if it affects the headmaster? His troubles have already Enough."

Trouble?
Harry immediately realized that this was the Arianna incident that had caused a lot of trouble before.

"It shouldn't matter, right?" He said with some uncertainty: "There is no other soul in the principal's body, so who can influence him?"

Hermione couldn't answer, and after waiting for a while, she said in surprise, "No, have you ever thought that if the headmaster really wanted to learn about devils, why didn't he go directly to Professor Highmore?"

"Maybe it's just because the headmaster doesn't want to make this class too awkward." After saying this, Ron also realized that something was wrong: "But if this is the case, the headmaster doesn't need to call Harry over Ah. What's going on here?"

Harry's good mood was spoiled by these two, and it lasted until the next special class.

He couldn't figure it out either, why didn't Headmaster Dumbledore go directly to Professor Highmore?Could it be that Professor Highmore would refuse?
It didn't take long before Harry got a note from someone unexpected about the start time of the next class.

"Potter." Malfoy said maliciously, "Look at you, the famous Harry Potter is now qualified to teach the headmaster. This is simply the funniest joke I've ever heard."

"Give it to me." Harry snatched the note: "You are also ashamed to see Professor Lupine, just wait, everyone knows that you have only half a year left as a minister at most, see if you can still laugh at that time Come out."

Whether it was Malfoy teaching Lupine a lesson, or the forecast of changes in the Ministry of Magic Club, Harry and the others had already heard about it.Especially the latter matter, you don't even need to guess, Malfoy can't compete with Luna, this is a fact that everyone knows.

Draco narrowed his eyes, and just when Harry thought he was going to say something harsh, he left with a look of contempt.

"It seems that he's completely flustered." Ron said, "I don't even know what to say, I'm not surprised at all, in the end, I can always save myself from embarrassing myself even more, right? "

"Of course." Harry nodded and opened the note: "At eight o'clock in the evening, still in the principal's office."

Ron leaned his head and said, "Have you figured out how to ask the principal? Why didn't he go to Professor Haimer to learn about devils, but insisted on learning from you?"

Harry was silent and said nothing.

At night, as he walked up the spiral staircase, all he could think about was Ron's question—yeah, why?

Is it because you don't want Professor Highmore to know?Or is there any other reason?

"Please come in."

After Harry knocked nervously on the oak door, Dumbledore's voice came from the room.

The wooden door was pushed open, and Harry saw Dumbledore sitting behind his desk, smiling at him.

"What surprise did you bring me today, Harry?"
