Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 27 Explanation Papers
"I suspect Professor Highmore is the thief."

"Do not be silly."

"Otherwise, how would you explain the coincidence that happened that day? He wasn't after me, but Hegrid, and even the vault was next to us."

"Do you want the last piece of pie?"

At the dinner table, Harry had no appetite at all, and Ron happily picked up the last piece of beef pie on the plate, his mouth stuffed.

He shot Harry a look: "You're still thinking about it, aren't you? I don't understand why you're so hostile to Professor Highmore? That was the coolest magic class I've ever had - all Wizards are all half blood, he dares to say."

"But he's a Slytherin," Harry insisted. "Don't you think there's something wrong with what Nick said at the start-of-term dinner? He obviously knows something extra, and probably saw it with his own eyes, but it can't be behind his back." Bad-mouthing the professor. Professor Highmore certainly isn't as easy as it seems."

"This is really difficult." Ron slammed his mouth: "He doesn't look very simple-want to go to the library together?"

"Of course, I have to finish my ancient magic homework quickly. Speaking of the 15-inch thesis, how did Hermione Granger do it? Is she trying to curry favor with Professor Highmore?"

Harry's face was full of confusion: "Do you still remember the letter she wrote to Professor Highmore? Maybe we should find an opportunity to carefully observe Hermione Granger's reaction, so that we can know who Professor Highmore is through follow-up. What a person."

"Huh? Does this have something to do with the thief you suspect?"

"No, it has nothing to do with the thieves. It's only related to our inability to finish our homework. I haven't got a clue until now."

"That makes sense. I've got bad news, by the way, and neither have I."

At the same time, Toby led Al back to the castle in a dejected manner. Most of the students did not dare to provoke them, and avoided sticking to the wall from a distance.They still don't know what kind of person Professor Haimer is, but he must be extremely serious in class and deduct points very decisively.

Although the attitude of adding points is similar, it is a pity that not everyone can enjoy this honor.

"Mr. Longbottom."

Toby happened to bump into Neville and yelled at him, "Come with me to the office, now."

Neville was startled, he still looked so timid.

Roommates Dean and Seamus gave him blessing eyes.

When Neville walked into the ancient magic office tremblingly, Toby asked him to close the door, and then asked inadvertently, "Why haven't you handed in your homework yet?"

Neville looked at Toby's eyes hidden behind his hair, and felt that the other party suddenly became very strange, as if he was in class.

And Neville himself is near the end of his life.

"It's too difficult." Neville stammered, "I've been searching in the library for several days, but I haven't found any suitable materials."

Toby's expression didn't change, and Al, who was wiping his head with a towel, yelled "Yeah" at him.

"I can't say that the homework is too difficult."

Toby replied: "If I don't teach these things, what can I teach? I can't start by taking care of Xixiu?"

Al shook his head, and it let out another "ah".

"Tsk tsk, stop talking!"

Toby suddenly said impatiently: "I am the professor, you are just an assistant, how can an assistant decide what to teach? You only need to be responsible for checking the homework."

Neville stared dumbfounded at Toby and Al who suddenly had a quarrel. He seemed to know something important—wasn't Professor Highmore checking the homework?
Before nearly getting into a fight with Al, Toby finally remembers that there is another student in the office.

He pushed his long hair back on his head, and the amiable Toby was back in no time.

"By the way, Neville." He asked kindly, "How are Frank and Alice doing?"

Neville replied blankly, "I haven't had time to visit them yet."

"Have you bought a new wand yet?"

"Bought it."

Just thinking about it made Neville feel crazy.

He actually secretly bought a new wand behind Mrs. Longbottom's back, which was also his own.

"Cherry wood, unicorn tail hair."

Neville introduced his new wand, and it looked like he couldn't put it down.

Toby nodded in satisfaction: "Remember to keep Frank's wand safe, and just use your new wand in class in the future."

"Do you remember how Mr. Ollivander introduced these two materials?"

"Remember, he said that the cherry wood would give the wand its strange powers, which combined with the unicorn's tail hair would make it easier to control."

"Just remember, and you also have to remember a sentence, it is the wand that chooses the wizard, Ollivander's experience is very useful, don't ignore this sentence-oh, there is one more thing, I remember you at the start-of-term dinner , seems to be secretly pointing at Hermione Granger, what happened to her?"

"she--"

"Dong dong dong."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Toby and Neville looked out the door and found that the person who came in happened to be Hermione, which shocked Neville a lot. He would not dare to offend this domineering little girl no matter what.

"You go first, Mr. Longbottom. What's the matter, Miss Granger?"

Hermione looked suspiciously at Neville as if fleeing away, but then she remembered the purpose of her coming - because of the crazy letter sent before school started.

Ever since seeing Professor Highmore's stern performance in class, Hermione thought she would be called over to scold her, but she didn't expect that there would be no movement at all.

It was torturing her, and she couldn't help but worry that Professor Highmore was trying to make things difficult for her in her final exams - and that was the thing she cared about the most, exam grades.

"Professor, I—"

"Oh, I'll talk about your business later, you just came, we can talk about your thesis."

"Oh?"

Hermione watched helplessly as a piece of parchment flew into Professor Higher's hand. The small characters on it were densely packed, and the paper of the same size could hold more words.

Toby scanned it roughly to make sure he got it right.

"This is an excellent paper." Toby praised: "I really like your reasoning logic and your efforts to search for information. It can be seen that you are a very good student."

Hermione couldn't help feeling complacent, and she tried to keep her face sullen, trying not to look so proud.

"But the direction you deduce is completely wrong."

"what?"

Before Hermione came back to his senses, Toby pointed to a few lines of text and said: "[According to the signs of the lost city in Loch Ness, maybe the source of the decrease in magic power is also the reason why wizards in the city are hiding.] I I am very happy to see that you will combine the content of the first lecture and write it in the thesis, but you have neglected more factors-this is the only ancient ruin you know, which cannot constitute the most accurate evidence. In addition You didn't go into that city yourself, you just heard it from me - you take a seat, there are other problems in this paper. And the most important one you neglected is ancient magic There is no right answer."

Hermione sat blankly on the sofa chair.

"what?"
