Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 293 Hogwarts
At the same time as the play was about to begin, an argument was taking place in one of Hogwarts' offices.

"You should go to the celebration, Remus."

"No, unless you tell me exactly which part of my memory was taken."

"Why can't you understand?"

Toby didn't even bother to sit anymore. He stood up and said impatiently: "I've told you ten thousand times, that memory is very dangerous, you have to forget it! And specifically Which one - which one but the one where you almost killed Severus?"

After being successfully rescued, Lupine has been pestering Toby since he returned to school, and today is no exception.

His face was a bit haggard, and he hadn't fully recovered from the previous disaster. His tone was sickly when he spoke, but his attitude was still firm.

"How do I know if you are lying." He strongly suspected: "And what you said is not right, you clearly erased at least two of my memories, the time in the screaming hut, and the time I was exploring in the snow mountain The time you attacked me."

"But you have already recalled the latter period." Toby said with a headache: "If I really pull out your memory of the snowy mountain, you will not be able to recall this experience at all-the Forgetting Curse It's very different from memory extraction, and you should understand that."

"Of course I understand." Lupine said sarcastically, "You have your own good intentions, and you have been hiding the news that Sirius is alive for this reason. You must have been very happy when you saw me sad about it before. "

"I'd rather he was dead." Toby obviously didn't want to mention this person more, he sat down again, tapped his finger on the admission book and said: "Presumably he thinks so too, but he hasn't Opportunity to implement—by the way, where is he now?"

"I still want to ask you." Lupine said, staring at him.

The two looked at each other in silence for a while, and they both felt that something was wrong.

"Merlin." Lupine finally realized that they seemed to have been tricked by Sirius, using this old-fashioned method - deceiving people from both sides at the same time.

"Then where will he be?" Lupine frowned worriedly and said; "Could it be at the celebration? There are so many Aurors there, and there is even a sentence of his body, in case it is found"

"Relax." Toby said casually, "Don't forget who else is there. Headmaster Dumbledore will definitely take care of him."

"I hope so," was all Lupine had to say, and then fell silent.

Toby acted as if he didn't notice Lupine's abnormality at all. He picked up the Book of Access and read it page by page, as if there was some unknown magic power in it.

After a while of silence, it was Lupine who finally broke the silence and said, "I noticed recently that you haven't shown up with Dumbledore again. Is there anything you can tell me?"

It couldn't be more out of the ordinary.

Lupine didn't know what happened during his disappearance, but it turned out that Toby seemed to have broken up with Dumbledore, and Lupine didn't see any of their conversations .

Toby's eyes fixed on the book stopped moving.

Then it was time to compete for patience, and Lupine has always been a very patient person. He looked at the ice block in the house that would never melt, and repeatedly looked at the hidden memories that belonged to him.

Toby closed the admission book with a "snap", and he said angrily and helplessly, "It's none of your business, okay, I want to be alone for a while now, and I don't want to be harassed by anyone." disturb."

Full of curiosity and worry, Lupine was abruptly kicked out of the office by Toby.

After Lupine left, Toby went back to sit behind the desk for a while, but this time he couldn't read the names on the Access Book, and became very restless and restless.

law of conservation of magic
He silently recited this novel vocabulary in his heart, and finally stood up directly, and left the office after checking everything was correct.

After a while, Toby appeared in a dark and damp corridor. As he walked deeper and deeper, the light ball silently floated beside him, illuminating the path under his feet, and gradually revealing the secret room at the end.

Today, there is a special figure in the hall of the chamber of secrets in Slytherin, which is the armor used to trap the devil, and it is still doing so, faithfully obeying Toby's order.

But this time, another person appeared in its body.

After hearing Toby's footsteps, Gellert Grindelwald slowly opened his eyes, and a bewitching voice came from under the mask: "Toby Highmore, I knew you couldn't help but come See me."

Toby hated Grindelwald's tone very much, even if the person who was caught was clearly Grindelwald himself, Toby felt very disgusted.

"Really?" He looked deliberately at the statue of Slytherin himself and said, "Why can't I just plan to do some experiments on you? Have you seen the little cutie with you, I believe it will be willing to destroy Lost your body, and your soul."

The special humanoid devil maintains an extremely aggressive state at all times. If it wasn't for the armor restraining it, I'm afraid it would have killed Grindelwald long ago.

"It doesn't make any sense." Grindelwald still said calmly: "Albus will not let you do such a thing. I know him very well. He will not let his students destroy it with his own hands and finally maintain it. The purity of the soul that came down. Moreover, I believe that he also needs to know a lot of news from me. For example, who is the person pretending to be me in Nurmengard now, or that the magic world in Austria has been affected by me? Control. And, how many people still know the law of conservation of magic.”

"He's worried about that, very much, isn't he?"

Toby was silent and didn't speak.Grindelwald's lack of self-consciousness as a prisoner made him feel even more uncomfortable.

But Grindelwald continued talking non-stop.

"I have some students, they are distributed all over the world, some you know, some you don't know. Once one of them preaches the law of conservation of magic, you should know how much turmoil this will bring to the magic world— —All crimes have become well-founded. Wizard supremacy, as well as pure-blood supremacy, will become the content that can be discussed publicly, and may also involve the election of ministers of the Ministry of Magic of various countries. Whether it is for power, It's still a continuation of wizards and the wizarding world, these people can do anything."

"It won't be long before you have the opportunity to see this scene with your own eyes, Toby Highmore. It's too late to regret it now."

"Repent?" Toby sneered, "Aren't you still persuading me to join you? Do you think you are qualified to say such things now?"

"I'm just helping you plan ahead." Grindelwald said calmly, "Because I know what you're worried about. Today is the day for the celebration, right?"

"Whether it's the third skeleton or the magic ball, their fate will be decided today, right?"

"Then who will they belong to? Is it you? Or Albus Dumbledore who is used to controlling everything?"

Toby's brow furrowed tightly, his fingers clenched and loosened repeatedly on the wand in his sleeve.

"It seems that you don't know the taste of fear." He narrowed his eyes and said to the armor: "Do the health exercises I learned from Muggles ten times, and the Dark Lord must exercise well Row."

"It doesn't make sense." Grindelwald shook his head and said, but soon froze, the armor no longer moved according to his intentions, and immediately began to stretch his body, even Grindelwald had to move together, up and down Jump up and down.

"I have a whole day to spend with you." Toby conjured up a chair, and he sat on it, staring fiercely at the funny Grindelwald, and repeated emphatically again: "A whole day !"

He acted as if he blamed Grindelwald for not being able to attend the ceremony.
-
Hogsmeade village.

"Crack."

With the sound of Laife's announcement, the drama officially began.

The animals on the stage jumped into action, and the audience below saw a snow-white owl that seemed to imitate the birth of a baby.

"What are they discussing?" Fudge asked nervously in a low voice.

Undersecretary Umbridge also couldn't understand the language of those people. In the end, Barty Crouch, the old director of the International Magic Exchange and Cooperation Department, replied: "They are discussing the idea of ​​that owl. Those people wear Eyes are amazing, they can read the minds of animals."

"Anti-demon glasses?" Fudge remembered this magical item from Toby Highmore's student, and he felt that the situation was out of his control: "Why don't we have it?"

"Because it hasn't been released in the UK yet." Umbridge flattered non-stop, "They don't have a standardized process, which is far worse than the British Ministry of Magic."

It's a pity that this is destined to be a useless compliment, Fudge quickly turned a blind eye to her, and turned to Dumbledore who was sitting on the other side with a smile and asked in a low voice: "Why don't we have demon-proof glasses, don't tell me this is Hogwarts?" Another trial by Ci."

"You're too nervous, Fudge." Dumbledore advised, "You'd better watch this drama, I've been looking forward to it for a long time in advance. They're pretty good, aren't they?"

Not only is it good, under Al's repeated rehearsals, these animals performed so vividly that Fudge recognized their identities one by one—Ms. Norris who played Bellatrix, and the mouse who played Peter Pettigrew. Dot, this is Ron's pet.There are also two Dark Lords, one is Grindelwald played by Virgil, and the other is Voldemort played by Crookshanks.

This is all corresponding to the testimony in the original trial!Unexpectedly, Toby Highmore really showed all the content!

Fudge was terrified watching the whole drama. In the last scene, "Sirius" fell to his death in the air, "Grindelwald" hid quietly, watching this scene in the dark, "Voldemort" still didn't know that he was blackmailed by the previous generation. The Demon King has influenced him imperceptibly, and he is still trying to find a chance to stand up.

Finally, a long-prepared coffin appeared on the stage. Inside was the body of "Sirius" transferred from the Ministry of Magic. He was buried with the owl, and many people watched silently.

"Crack."

With Raffle's final announcement, all the animals came to the stage together and bowed deeply to the audience under Al's command.

"Mrs. Mary is praising your thoughtful arrangement." Old Batty reminded in a low voice when he stood up and applauded: "She likes this fairy tale play so much, and hopes to perform it in Brazil."

"What?" Fudge turned his head and saw a woman wearing anti-demon glasses. She was a representative sent by Castrobushe School of Magic and an official of the local Ministry of Magic.

It seems that wearing or not wearing glasses are two completely different viewing experiences, and what Fudge was worried about did not happen. No one would think of the two black magicians, even if the name is "The Legend of Sirius".

"Smile, Minister."

Rita Skeeter came over like a mosquito, carrying an overly gorgeous crocodile bag and said, "Now it's time for the photographer to take a photo for you, can we get together here? Didn't you— She frowned and stopped a poorly dressed wizard: "I haven't seen your name on the list, who are you?"

"I'm the staff responsible for moving the corpse." The wizard said gloomily, making Skeeter jump away as if he had seen a ghost, and immediately waved at him in disgust, telling him to leave quickly.

In Dumbledore's sight, the wizard was getting closer and closer to the stage.Al on it was speaking seriously to the animals, praising them for living up to the hard work and sweat of this period of time. The myopic Virgil cheered at Hedwig—he mistook the owl again.

"Excuse me." The wizard said to a cat who seemed not to be messed with.Crookshanks glanced up at him, still lying there motionless, not even bothering to turn over.

Fudge on the other side has long been complacent and carried himself away. He held on to Dumbledore's hand tightly, making up his mind to show this scene all over again. It's best to let everyone see that he and Dumbledore have a good relationship. There are no gaps.

This naturally made him forget about the need to bury Sirius' body. Anyway, this was only Toby Highmore's request, and anyone could do it.

In just a short while, the worker who claimed to be carrying the corpse had already arrived in front of the coffin. He stared at Sirius inside, and took out a small bottle of medicine and put it on his nose when no one noticed.

It didn't take a few seconds for the "corpse" to wake up faintly, and the real Sirius asked in a daze, "Is it time already? Where is Harry, Dumbledore, I hope to see him—are you Who?"

Sirius suddenly became extremely vigilant. Except for Dumbledore, no one knew, or almost most people knew that his "corpse" should be in the coffin.

He had already swapped with that fake corpse, and then used a special potion to deal with the signs of survival, so that no one would be able to see it.

Under the gaze of Sirius who was almost determined to fight, the visitor suddenly said in an extremely familiar and unfamiliar voice: "Don't get excited, don't shout out, it's me—"

"James!"
