Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 292 Celebration
Hogsmeade village.

Snowflakes fell from the foggy sky, over the roofs of the rows of houses, in circles, and floated gently on a pair of glasses.

"Hurry up, Harry, we won't be able to catch up with the theatrical performance any later." Ron turned his head and urged.

Harry took off his glasses and wiped them carefully, then put them back on.Hermione, who couldn't wait for a long time, hurriedly dragged him to run on the street, and said as she ran, "Hey, why are you so dawdling? There will definitely be a lot of people arriving later, and you expect me to find Si at the dinner party?" Will Mr. Kamander sign? It's very rude to interrupt someone's meal."

"Slow down." Harry held his crooked glasses, he said in a panic, "I would have brought the broom if I knew it, even if you can't ride well, you can let the two of us take you, you can choose whoever you want. "

Hermione really stopped and looked at the two of them carefully for a while, which made Ron stunned.

"Forget it." Hermione curled her lips and said, "I'd rather ride on Mr. Al's flying carpet than let the two of you take me on an adventure."

"Look at what you're talking about." Ron muttered dissatisfiedly, he quickened his pace, and ran along with them in a muffled voice.

At the end of the street is a unique square, and in the center of the square stands a statue of a man named Hengis of Woodcroft.He was a medieval wizard who went to Hogwarts and was sorted into Hufflepuff House.

At the same time, he was also the founder of Hogsmeade Village, so people not only commemorated him for building this square, but also put him on a chocolate frog card.

Now, a tens of feet high tent appeared in front of the statue of Hengis. It didn't look that big, it looked a little old, and it seemed that the preparations were a little too hasty.

Two people came out of the tent one after the other. Dumbledore was in the front, and a vigorous old man was behind, with the drowsy Bowtruckle lying on his shoulders.

He was dancing fiercely and said, "Why can't you tell me in advance? If I knew there was a werewolf there, I would have made more preparations so that I wouldn't be so embarrassed, but why didn't you tell me in advance?"

It turns out that Newt Scamander is the one Dumbledore said was going to track down the whereabouts of Sirius.In the end, he really found it, but unfortunately that night happened to be a full moon, and the real Lupine was trapped in his own house again, so the result was self-evident, undoubtedly very bad.

Mr. Newt took great pains to conceal those movements. For this reason, his suitcase was scratched and scratched everywhere, so that he didn't know how to explain to his wife-he had already promised Dee. Na, decided to retire early, and in the future only focus on recalling and completing "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".

That is to write a book.

"Because I don't know about it." Dumbledore walked away from the tent, and he explained with a headache: "The specific process is very complicated, even I don't know the whole story, he is still hiding it I, Newt, have a lot of things I'm hiding from me."

"No way?" Newt said with wide eyes, "Although I haven't met him, I always thought you were the person he trusted the most."

"Yes." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "It used to be, but not anymore."

Newt opened his mouth, he suddenly picked up the suitcase at hand and was about to run, but was immediately grabbed by Dumbledore.

"Let go." Newt struggled twice, but didn't let go.

"Damn it, why are you so strong." He looked at Dumbledore's gray hair and said, "I'm not the only one getting old, am I? Are you secretly taking the elixir of life?"

"I have never feared death." Dumbledore said gently, "But where are you going?"

"Where else can it be." Newt said decisively: "Of course, find a place to live in seclusion first. I know what good things that student of yours has done. Some of my former friends have told me. Now Since you can't control him, of course I have to run away first, in case he sets his mind on my baby—"

"Does Tina have any special talents?" Dumbledore asked suspiciously: "Is there anything unusual about your son or grandson? Have they been exposed to ancient magic?"

"It's not them." Newt said angrily, "It's the pets I keep at home, and there's a whole basement there."

"It's really an easy-to-understand description." Dumbledore said with a smile, and he suddenly reminded: "Remain decent, my old friend. If I guess correctly, Miss Granger will be here soon, and I I don't think she can afford to be disappointed again."

"Who?" Newt asked in confusion, the suitcase in his hand clicked twice, which made him bend down immediately, and whispered close to the mouth of the suitcase: "Not now, don't rush out, it's not yet time When you are having fun, we have agreed in advance that we have to wait until after the dinner party."

When the box regained its calm, Newt looked up and saw a pair of enlarged, shining eyes close in front of him, so scared that he almost fell back.

Hermione's face was flushed red from excitement, of course, it might have been frozen.Holding a copy of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" in both hands, she said: "Is it really you, my God, I really don't know how to describe my current mood—"

"Just say you want an autograph." Ron muttered softly, stretching his neck to look in the direction of the curtain of the tent, wondering if it could accommodate so many people.

Harry on the side was greeting Dumbledore, looking a little stiff.

"What's the result of the inspection?" Dumbledore asked in a gentle tone, "Did Madam Pomfrey say anything?"

"No." Harry shook his head in confusion. "Nothing, Headmaster."

This matter has to start from that night of the full moon.

Since Professor Highmore suddenly appeared in the Gryffindor common room and asked them to close their eyes.Dumbledore hurried back and immediately sent the three of them to the school hospital, and arranged for Madam Pomfrey to examine them carefully from inside to outside.

As a result, nothing happened, and Harry never understood why the headmaster made such an arrangement.

Obviously, it was Professor Haimo who seemed to be injured more seriously. He passed out, and he didn't know what happened.

Later, Harry saw Snape who was unwilling to go to the school hospital to dispense medicine. He didn't have any injuries on his body, so it shouldn't be that the two fought again.

"What about Toby?" Dumbledore asked again, "Has he visited you in the hospital?"

Harry noticed that Headmaster Dumbledore's tone was not light when he said this.

"No." Harry shook his head in a low voice and said, "We haven't seen Professor Highmore since that night. Is he still in school?"

Dumbledore seemed to have a lot to say to Harry, but in the end he just patted Harry on the shoulder, pushed him towards Hermione who had already signed, and said, "It's time to enjoy your vacation." Now, I'm sure this drama will be very interesting."

After the three of them walked into the tent, Newt came over with a suitcase and asked, "What are your plans next?"

Dumbledore looked in the direction of Hogwarts Castle, and he said vaguely: "What is the next plan? I hope the school dinner tonight can meet the tastes of the guests. Their stomachs are not so easy to handle."

"Let's go too. If it's too late, Fudge will go crazy. The disappearance of Toby makes him very nervous, and he always feels that something big will happen."

"Will he really do that?" Newt asked nervously.

"It should be said that he has already done it." Dumbledore got into the tent, Newt looked back and forth helplessly, he hugged the suitcase tightly, and trotted in, as if there was something It was as if something was chasing him behind him.

"Look, Harry." As soon as he walked into the tent, Ron pointed at a group of people surrounded by bubbles and shouted: "Did you see, it's a bubble ball, I never had a chance played."

"I" Harry felt that there must be something wrong with his eyes, otherwise how could there be so many people standing in such a small tent—almost all the students from the school were present, but the inside of the tent looked a little It wasn't crowded, there was laughter and laughter everywhere, and occasionally some people walked past saying something Harry didn't understand.

"It's French." Hermione looked as shocked as Harry, and she said blankly, "I learned some simple sentences when I was on vacation with my parents - but, did you see that, Harry."

She said the same thing as Ron: "I know there are magic tents, but I've never seen such a big tent. Where did they get them?"

Harry didn't know how to answer, he didn't even have a magic tent - oh no, he did see a magic tent, he lived in it for a while when he was studying devils, it was specially prepared for him by Professor Highmore .

At this time, a girl holding a pink cotton candy stopped and said: "It is said that this is a creation left by the Wizarding Council. It is said that it is related to avoiding the pursuit of Muggles. There must be a safe place for meetings at any time. But I don't think so, maybe some old wizard made it randomly, you can understand the brains of those old guys very well."

"The Council of Wizards." Hermione blinked as she looked at the cotton candy in the woman's hand.

"Tonks."

At this time, a very serious wizard shouted angrily: "Where did you go, if Moody didn't give you a guarantee, I must make you look good!"

"Oops." Tonks looked around, and she stuffed the marshmallow into Hermione's hand at once.

"I haven't eaten this side yet, if you don't mind." She pointed to the cotton candy on Hermione's side, then wiped the corners of her mouth indiscriminately, and changed it immediately after making sure that there were no traces left With a serious expression on his face, he ran towards the wizard seriously and amusedly: "Director, I'm here, do you need to find me?"

"She seems to be an Auror." Harry said suddenly, "I saw a picture of her in the Daily Prophet, a long time ago, in connection with that famous trial."

Hermione tasted the marshmallow blankly, then looked at it in surprise, and found that it was even more delicious than she imagined.

"Okay, you two." Ron suddenly jumped out of nowhere and said, "You actually secretly eat snacks here behind my back, what about my share?"

"It's gone." As if realizing the seriousness of the problem, Harry said quickly, "An Auror gave it to us. I don't have one yet. If you don't believe me, ask Hermione."

But Hermione's eyes seemed to be fixed, she stared directly at the back of a group of flying ponies, and said in disbelief: "If we are wrong, are those Fred and George? What are they doing there?" what?"

"Who? Where is it?" Ron's distraction was so fast that Harry was frightened. He straightened his neck and looked around: "Is that so, I saw them, really. I said, they Could it be that they are selling something, I went over to have a look, and there is actually a profitable business that does not come to me, they are really too much!"

Ron stormed over to them, where Fred and George were sitting behind a table, wearing their most prim clothes—Gryffindor house uniforms.

"Dear sir, allow me to introduce—how is it you?"

Fred's expression immediately changed from seriousness to disgust. He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go, go, don't stop us from making a lot of money—ah, no, don't stop us from earning impression points for the academy."

"You slipped the tongue!" Ron said angrily, "And why can't I be here, but she can!"

Ron pointed at Ginny, who was surrounded by the two of them. She blushed frighteningly, as if she was not used to such a place where people came and went, not to mention that there were some wizards who were not from England.

"Because her jumping shoes are very popular." George said casually: "You can't imagine how popular they are with girls, especially foreign girls - hello, beautiful lady (French) .”

George suddenly stood up and said with a smile, which made the two girls passing by giggle.

"As soon as I came back, I saw that you were not doing your job." Percy struggled to squeeze through the crowd, his ears were red with anger: "We can't even win Hufflepuff if this continues, Diggory's face Better than the two of you combined - I don't mean you, Ginny, you just need to introduce jumping shoes when guests need them."

Ginny's head dropped even lower.

"Here." Hermione, who came over, handed over a hand and said, "Want to eat marshmallows? By the way, why isn't Luna here? Don't you usually stay together?"

"She's on Ravenclaw's side." Ginny said pitifully, tears on the verge of shedding: "She's been surrounded by crowds all day, and those people want to buy more from her." Anti-demon glasses, if Mr. Witch wasn't there, she would have been robbed long ago."

"Who is Witch?" Harry asked confused.

"Professor Haimer's partner." Fred said enthusiastically, "He is simply the smartest goblin I have ever seen. He knows how to make money. Maybe we will cooperate again in the future."

"Just relying on multi-flavored juice?" Percy said disgustedly: "Come on, you should really go and see Digory's self-casting wand, it's [-] times wiser than you!"

"Who is your younger brother?" George said with a very hurt look.

At this time, a deafening voice sounded in the whole place as big as the square.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah."

"Mr. Aier said that the drama program will start soon, and interested audiences are welcome to watch it in the southeast direction, which is the place where the stage is set up."

Immediately, there was a crowd of people in the tent. The students, as well as the important guests who were protected by the Aurors, all wanted to go in that direction.

"Where is Dumbledore?" Fudge was crowded among a group of visitors from the Ministry of Magic from all over the world. He was sweating profusely and asked, "Why is he missing? Call someone to find him, and Toby Highmore, we must pay attention Good for his movement."

"Toby isn't coming." Dumbledore suddenly appeared from the crowd, crowded around him as if he didn't exist, and walked to Fudge easily.

"Why can't you come?" Fudge asked with wide-eyed eyes: "We have agreed in advance, how could he—— at such a time?"

"He didn't want to trouble you." Dumbledore said, looking in the direction of the table, "Because he has more important troubles to solve now."
