Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 283 Comprehension
Harry had never seen such a wayward professor, and the only one he could compare himself to Ms Gray was Snape.But even Snape wouldn't deliberately ignore people, on the contrary, he liked to ridicule those non-Slytherin students too much.

Ginny, who was sitting in the front, turned around and said, "Don't worry too much about it, Ms. Gray doesn't—it's not like she doesn't like you."

Before Harry pretended to be nonchalant, Luna, who was sitting next to Ginny, nodded and said, "I think so too. It's not that she doesn't like you, but she hates you."

"How could it be?" Harry's eyes widened in surprise: "You're joking, aren't you?"

Cedric also didn't agree with Luna's idea, he said; "This is completely unreasonable, Ms. Gray doesn't know Harry, how could she hate him."

At this time, the closed door of the classroom was pushed open again, and the person who came in was wearing a dark witch robe, his signature curly hair drooping in front of his eyes, and the expression on his face was very helpless.

"Professor Haimer?" Cedric asked in confusion, "Why are you here? Could it be that you are here to teach us?"

Harry knew that Professor Highmore was the one who organized this special classroom, but he never attended the class himself, instead handing it over to Bloody Barrow and Ms. Gray.

"It's terrible."

Toby said with a headache that as soon as he came in, he put all his eyes on Harry, almost staring at him and said: "I never thought you could still cause me trouble in this kind of place-children, Gray The lady will never come to teach you again."

"Huh?" Harry was the first to call out, and he said in disbelief, "Ms. Gray really hates me? But I just asked a question, I'm going to apologize to her now—"

"Don't ask for trouble." Toby interrupted, stopping Harry who was about to rush out of the classroom: "It's hard to say whether this matter has anything to do with you, and it's more because of Barrow. Didn't he teach What did you do with divination, but in the end Ms. Gray mistook you for his disciple, and even hated you. Of course, there are also reasons why Ms. Gray is not very willing to deal with wizards. Anyone who gets her involved in the misfortune It has something to do with wizards."

Harry couldn't fully understand what Professor Highmore said. He only knew one thing - because of his arrival, several people who could normally attend the class were in trouble.

It made Harry feel very guilty - he could have avoided this outcome, even if he wasn't the student who was recruited in the first place.

"Professor." Luna raised her hand suddenly, acting like she was in class, her foggy eyes bulging out.

"What's wrong?" Toby asked.

Several people turned their heads to look at Luna, and they saw Luna hand over the notebook on the table to Professor Haimer.

Toby took the Pandora notebook, and he saw that on the flipped page was written: [I heard you are short of manpower now?How about letting me try it out? 】

"Are you sure?" Toby declined the quill that Luna handed over, and he asked directly, "But do you know what the professors of this course are responsible for?"

Pandora seemed to know the answer a long time ago, and quickly revealed the handwriting on the page: [I have been attending classes with Luna, so I can probably guess it—how about letting me try it first?By the way, you should have used anti-demon glasses, do you think that is qualified? 】

Toby understands the meaning of Pandora.

"Then let's try it first." He said, handing the notebook in front of Luna, then looked at the other students and asked, "Do you all have time? I'm afraid it will take a little longer this time."

No one refused. Ginny looked at Luna curiously. As for Cedric and Harry, they were at a loss. They had no idea what happened just now.

"Very good." After seeing their reactions, Toby said with satisfaction: "Please allow me to introduce in advance—Ms. Pandora, who used to be a spell expert, good at inventing spells—"

"It still does." A female voice came from the notebook, and Luna stood up holding the notebook so that everyone else could see—Ginny knew that Pandora could speak, but Harry and Cedric still didn't agree. Can you believe the scene in front of you - a talking notebook?

"That's right." Toby affirmed with kindness. After all, the original idea of ​​the anti-demon glasses came from Pandora, and she had a part to credit.

"Okay, now let's start the formal class-can you move inside?"

Harry and Cedric immediately squeezed together on the other side of the table, giving up most of the seats to Professor Haimer who came over, watching him sit down together, as if he wanted to know how Pandora's teaching was.

Luna walked up to the podium with the notebook in her hands. She found a few books and stacked them up so that Pandora's notebook could stand up.

To be honest, at this moment, Harry really felt like being swept by someone's gaze.

Pandora's voice came out from the notebook and said: "I have never had the experience of teaching to others—but let me ask first, do you all know why you are here?"

This seemed to be a rule-breaking behavior - Harry remembered Cedric saying in the last class that Professor Highmore would not allow students to ask each other why they were called to the class.

Of course, Harry also remembered what Ginny had said at the time - she had no idea why she had been chosen.

Ginny, who was sitting at the bottom, shook her head in confusion. Until now, she still didn't know the reason why Professor Highmore called her here.

Cedric looked at Professor Highmore nervously—he was here because of the black devil, which, according to Professor Highmer, would help him create a self-casting wand—but the Devil Badger thing needed It's confidential.

"I think it's better to let me answer this question."

Toby said in time: "Although the reasons why I called you here are all different, there is one thing that is similar-that is, they are all related to the soul. By the way, there is also you, Harry, although you are the queen Joined, but the reason is the same, so I didn't drive you away."

soul?

Harry was so familiar with souls that Voldemort's soul was lurking within him.Although Professor Highmore already has a way to help him, Harry has always refused to agree because he recognized the reason for his evil, and he is still hesitating.

At this moment, the only person who didn't understand was Ginny.

She knew the reason why Luna would come with her—it must be because of Pandora, her soul seemed to be attached to the notebook, and she miraculously came back from the dead.

But Ginny didn't know how she was related to the soul?

"It seems that you have completely forgotten." Toby finally solved the puzzle and said, "In order to protect your safety, Angela has erased part of your memory, so you don't remember anything. But don't worry , the culprit is long gone from this world.”

Harry on the side saw the terrified look on Ginny's face, and he suddenly remembered the head of the critic in the Mason Gate before - that guy was attacked by something in the end, and was locked on the other side of the Mason Gate forever, life and death I don't know.

"Yes, soul."

Pandora on the podium said with emotion: "When I invented the spell before, I also tried to study the soul, and found that it was not as easy as I imagined, and it was almost rarer than having a prophet with the third eye. However, I later discovered that the soul is actually It really exists, you see, here is a living example—with the help of Professor Haimer, I really came back from the dead."

Harry was dumbfounded, he never knew that Luna's notebook had such a big background.

Immediately afterwards, his heart beat rapidly. If Professor Haimer can really help others to come back from the dead, then could his parents also be able to help others?
Harry looked excitedly at Professor Highmore, and Toby felt his gaze, but he didn't make any promises - because he couldn't solve the problem himself.

There are not many black feathers, and they must be obtained through Death Castle.No one knew why Pandora's notebook became like this, and could even speak.And Toby just used a black feather because of the basilisk incident last semester, pulling him back from the brink of death.

He wasn't sure what he would become in the future, otherwise he wouldn't have spent so much effort researching souls.

"About resurrection from the dead. It's not yet certain."

After hearing Professor Highmore's words, Harry suddenly became very disappointed.

At this time, Luna suddenly raised her hand high, she turned her head and asked, "Professor, are you saying that my mother is a fake?"

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

Two voices rang out at the same time, and Pandora's notebook was dissatisfied: "Who taught you to speak like this, I will write a letter to Xie Nuo soon."

"That's not what I meant." Toby immediately said, "About that black feather, there has actually been a precedent for its use. But what happened to Pandora is indeed a bit unbelievable. It is probably related to what we are talking about now. About—the soul, a difficult problem that has not been solved so far.”

"I see." Luna suddenly realized: "So you are using me and my mother as an experiment."

"Hey!"

This time, only one voice sounded.

Toby obviously felt the attention of Pandora's Notebook, which is really bad. Will she grow eyes in the future?

"Listen, ladies," Toby added, glancing at Harry and Cedric next to him, "and gentlemen, I don't do experiments with my students and their parents. Unethical behavior is much harder to accept than threatening parents with children."

It seemed to Harry that Professor Highmore was speaking as if it were true.

"What I have to explain clearly," Toby continued, "is still related to that black feather, you may not understand—" He looked at the three students except Luna and said, "But it doesn't matter , unless you want to study archaeology in the future, I will recommend that place to you, otherwise, never step in."

"Back to the feathers, Luna, you must understand that I am not experimenting with you and your mother, because this stage has long passed."

"Is it armor, or is it a skeleton?" Harry couldn't help asking his inner guess in a low voice. Of course he knew what collections Professor Highmore had.Among those weird things, only armor and skeletons are the most distinctive.

Toby turned his head to look at Harry, and he smiled and said, "Not bad, my brain turns quickly—but I don't have so many feathers for skeletons, and their number is twice that of armor."

So, it's armor?
Harry's eyes were full of curiosity, and so were the others. Even Pandora's notebook was tilted forward a little, as if trying to push its ears forward.

Could it be that even the ears grow out separately?

Toby looked at the notebook full of weirdness, he really didn't hope that he would have an extra pair of ears one day.

"Okay, listen to me," Toby naturally returned to the state of the lecture, which of course also included the short story in class.

"The armor did use black feathers, that was the key to getting it out of Death Castle completely, like a key, and it also helped me get out of trouble during the expedition. But unfortunately, it didn't make it recall He remembers more things, he doesn't even remember his own name, at most he is smarter than those in the Hogwarts armor corridor, and he won't just laugh stupidly when he sees everything—but , To be honest, it behaved a little too coldly, I also suspected that it was an executioner or something in the past, and was responsible for stabbing the dying enemy to death on the battlefield, or executing war criminals, it is possible."

Harry didn't want to hear such a horrible description at all, and he thought Professor Highmore was exaggerating.

"professor."

At this time, Luna asked again: "Will there be a day when mom forgets everything?"

The classroom was silent for a while, and everyone was staring at Toby, including Pandora's notebook, which was much more serious than before, perhaps a little nervous.

Toby's answer seemed a little ruthless.

"Son, no magic lasts forever, even among wizards there are special Squibs, let alone a feather. But think on the bright side, maybe no one will live to that day Woolen cloth."

Can this be considered consolation?

Harry looked at Professor Highmore in surprise, but found that Luna was very helpful to these words, turned around happily, and made a gesture of continuing to listen to the class.

Pandora seemed to be happier than Luna. She talked a lot about her experience in creating spells, including her process of researching souls.What I have to say is that compared to the cold Ms. Gray, Pandora's speech is indeed much better, at least she is willing to answer the boys' questions.

Before you know it, the whole class time has passed.

"What should we do next?" Pandora said incredulously, "Do you want to assign homework?"

It seems that she has attended many of Professor Highmore's classes - Harry thought silently in his heart
Toby stepped forward and congratulated Pandora on being officially hired. Her lectures are not bad, at least much easier to use than Barrow's concise way.

"Why haven't you left yet?"

Soon, Harry was the only student left in the classroom.

He stayed on purpose.

"Professor," Harry finally asked the question he didn't want to recall, "when will we start the formal classes? Will it be in time before Christmas? I really hope it can be as soon as possible."

His mind changed a little suddenly.

"Don't tell me," Toby said, looking into Harry's green eyes, "you only thought of doing it when you heard about the resurrection from the dead. But, as far as I know, magic has never really brought people back to life." .”

Harry didn't hesitate. He said immediately, "But there's never been a self-casting wand before, has it, Professor?"

Toby shook his head with a complicated expression.

"It's not that simple," he whispered, and then suddenly raised his voice, announcing to Harry, "If you think so, come to the Office of Ancient Magic at eight o'clock the night after tomorrow. We still have Time for a few more classes."

Harry nodded excitedly.

He suddenly discovered that if he could really revive his parents, then whether he was evil or not didn't seem so important.
