Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 300 Conversation
After finding nothing on the first floor, Toby walked up the stairs in the sight of several people.

He had obviously come to find Sirius.

Black's tone darkened almost instantly.

"You are not welcome here." He said coldly, as if he wanted to chase someone away.

Just then, a person who seemed to be taken for granted appeared behind Toby.

Lupine stepped over Toby, looming between them.

"Please, Sirius." He said helplessly, "At least don't do anything in this place—there are a few of you." He turned his head and looked at the trio: "You go to the first floor to stay for a while, I I saw a wish box just now - oh, you've already drawn a prize - oh, it's "Ancient Magic" again."

Look at what Lupine meant, he should have played the wish box himself, and he also won a lot of Toby's works-that is, the bottom prize.

Both Ron and Hermione felt that it was better to leave temporarily, and now was not the time for them to intervene-but Harry didn't think so. He thought it was necessary for him to avoid a real fight between Professor Highmore and Sirius, which would definitely happen. To the attention of the Ministry of Magic.

"Don't be stupid, Harry." Toby said as if he knew what Harry was thinking, "And I didn't mean to trouble him, I just wanted to ask him some questions."

Sirius stared at Toby through narrowed eyes, then he turned and took out some silver Sickles and put them in Harry's hand.

"Go, let's play." He urged: "Don't worry, Dumbledore will not allow this guy to mess around."

This reason is much more convincing.

Ron and Hermione hurriedly pulled Harry away from the second floor. After they were far away, Lupine looked at the surrounding environment and said, "It looks pretty good here. How are you doing these days?"

He was obviously trying to ease the atmosphere between the two of them, but unfortunately no one bought his account.

"Get up from my sofa." Sirius said with a look of disgust, "There is no place for you here."

"You are the least qualified person to say these things." Tobian sat comfortably on the sofa, raised one leg, and said slowly: "Poor homeless bastard, look at what you look like now Tsk tsk tsk, the Black family really doesn't have a decent wizard."

"Come on, guys." Before Black got angry, Lupine stopped him loudly: "You really are going to be like this when you meet? Isn't it time to discuss more important issues—James Potter, just No one cares whether he lives or dies - least of all you,"

He turned his gaze to Sirius and said: "The relationship between the two of you is the best. He has personally confirmed your life and death. Don't you want to know where he got the news? Why is he so sure that you don't know?" Must die?"

These words undoubtedly attracted the attention of Sirius.

"What are you trying to say?" he asks, squinting.

"Clue." Lupine said affirmatively: "This is a crucial clue. If we can find James, we may be able to follow the clues to find out where Grindelwald fled."

Well, poor Lupine has been kept in the dark again, and no one but a very few people knows that Grindelwald is locked in the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets at this time.

It's a top-secret secret, known only to Toby and Dumbledore.Although they haven't communicated much now, they surprisingly agree that it is best not to let Grindelwald have the opportunity to contact more people, which will undoubtedly increase the risk.

But no matter what, James' whereabouts are still important, which can help Toby find more secrets related to death, and Sirius, he is actually the most urgent person.

Ever since he met the suspicious "James", he never thought of giving up looking for him.It's a pity that he is now trapped in the Pig's Head Bar, and Dumbledore has repeatedly emphasized that he cannot be allowed to leave this bar, otherwise there will be a great possibility of exposure.

"Let's talk about it." He frowned and said, already clear in his heart why Toby would take the initiative to come to him.

"What are you going to do?"

Lupine finally breathed a sigh of relief, he turned his head to look at Toby, silently waiting for his advice.

"Harry, Potter." Toby said slowly, "the only thing that caused James to show up is Harry Potter. Although he said before that he couldn't see Harry, he still endured it." I couldn't stop giving Harry a flame bat. All in all, as long as Harry encounters something, maybe he can-"

"Don't try to hurt Harry!" Sirius interrupted suddenly, "I won't just watch you do this, you—"

"Shut up!" Toby said with a look of disgust on his face: "Quidditch, I mean Quidditch, what else would most attract James' interest, I think there is nothing but Quidditch. As long as Put Harry in an extremely important match, and maybe James won't be able to resist coming to see him again—not face to face, even if it's just to watch him from a distance. That's about it, what else do you have? Anything to add, eh? Stupid?"

Sirius didn't expect Toby to come up with such a less harmful method, which surprised him a bit.

However, Toby's title still irritated him.

"Don't think I don't know." He yelled angrily; "You blocked the Firebolt I sent to Harry without authorization, and you are the only person who would do such a disgusting thing— "

"Then you go to be a professor at Hogwarts." Toby said sharply, "Instead of being a poor bastard who doesn't even know how to resist, and in the end dare not even go home—"

"Come on, guys—" Lupine stepped up in time to stop him: "I think that's the end of today's conversation. Then it's settled, right? We are in charge of arranging an important event at the school." You'll be keeping an eye out for those suspicious visitors in Hogsmeade, won't you?"

He pushed and shoved Toby away from the stairs, and then saw the trio with curiosity and worry written all over their faces on the first floor.

"Professor Highmore!"

Harry could clearly hear an argument coming from the second floor, but he couldn't resist asking the question.

"Is it really possible for my father to be resurrected?"

Toby turned his head and glanced at Harry. He suddenly strode over, his burly body blocking out the light, leaving Harry in the shadows.

"Why don't I answer you with another question."

He stared at Harry closely and said, "If one day James - no, not only him, but Lily - if they all come back to life and turn against us, what are you going to do then? "

"Choose us, or them?"

Harry was startled by the question, and so was Hermione, who turned pale.

At this moment, the only big-hearted Ron asked back: "But how could it be? Why did Harry's parents have trouble with you?"

"Yeah, I can't figure that out either." Toby turned his gaze to Ron and said, "I don't know why James won't tell us old friends why he's resurrected—so, Harry , I advise you not to get your hopes up too much, there is something wrong with the whole thing - but there is another way, are you free tomorrow Sunday?"

Harry couldn't keep up with Professor Highmore's train of thought for a moment.

"Just pretend you're free." Toby said decisively: "It's time to continue our tutorial, Harry, come to the office to see me at one o'clock tomorrow afternoon, that's about it."

Harry failed to get an accurate reply from Professor Highmore, but accidentally activated the tutorial he thought he had forgotten.

I don't know what Professor Haimer will teach him this time.

Lupine couldn't help asking that question on the way back.

"What else can it be?" Toby frowned and said, "Are there other possibilities besides ancient magic?"

It was almost as if nothing had been said.

Lupine keenly pointed out the point Toby wanted to avoid: "Don't tell me, Toby, are you going to teach Harry the magic to deal with James? You want to wait until the day they have a chance to meet and not let Harry Leigh softened?"

"When did you become so smart?" Toby said in surprise: "It seems that the months of being trapped have given you a lot of brains—hey, you say, since you have experienced such a thing Now, will the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor continue to be fulfilled?"

"Can I take this as a threat?" Luping said expressionlessly, "You mean to say that if I tell Headmaster Dumbledore about this, I will find a way to manually make the curse come true in advance?"

Toby patted Lupine on the shoulder in relief: "What a coincidence, you and I thought of going together."

"Stop joking!" Lupine pushed Toby's arm away and accused: "Do you know what you are doing now? Could it be that you will deliberately lead Harry and James to turn against each other?"

"Do you really think that man is James?" Toby asked suddenly.

"What?" Lupine's eyes widened. "So you think James didn't come back to life, he was pretended to be—"

"No, no, no." Toby interrupted: "Although I haven't seen a similar example, I know how powerful ancient magic is. I am skeptical about whether he is really resurrected. And for him Whether it's [-] percent James, I'm also skeptical."

After all, Pandora was only resurrected as a notebook, not a wizard anymore.

Speaking carefully, Toby hasn't solved the problem on his body yet - that black feather, he used it for Pandora's notebook, and he also used it once.

Now Pandora's notebook is becoming more and more strange, and Toby doesn't know if it will affect him too-at least not yet.

However, there is another notable example just around the corner.

In the cold and dark secret room, Grindelwald once again welcomed Toby.

"Any news for me?" he asked, not in the least worried that Toby would torture himself with exercises.

Toby ignored Grindelwald at all. He walked alone to the back where Grindelwald couldn't see, staring at the huge basilisk corpse in front of him.

This corpse has also been used black feathers, and then shows the picture before it was born-that is, the history when House asked Slytherin to accept Toby, a special student.

If both Jaime and Pandora can be resurrected, then will this corpse be too.
Toby drew out his black walnut wand and struck it repeatedly on the huge corpse, bursting out a series of sparks.

"Maybe I can help, kid." Grindelwald said with his back to Toby, he couldn't turn around, and his actions were still controlled by the armor.

After a while, Toby slowly put away his wand.

A corpse is still a corpse, and there is no sign of resurrection.

He turned and left without looking back, but before he could walk a few steps away, he suddenly walked back to Grindelwald, staring at the old face in the visor.

"Hand it over." He said abruptly.

"What are you referring to?" Grindelwald asked leisurely, without any guilt.

Toby stared at him suspiciously for a while, then looked at the armor, and the humanoid devils that had always surrounded Grindelwald.

With these two insurances, Grindelwald, who doesn't even have a magic wand, can't do anything at all.

He was constantly watched, day and night.

"Where did you hide James?" he asked the question again, skipping over the method of resurrecting James.

Grindelwald shook his head strenuously, he sighed and said, "I don't know what you're talking about, James Potter, and Lily, Evans, didn't they both die long ago? "

"But Pettigrew Peter was ordered by you!" Toby suddenly shouted: "Do you really think that everyone thinks you want to kill them? No, I don't think so, I know how good they are, They are helpers that even the mysterious person wants to recruit, don't you want to take them as your damn students?"

"This is a complete misunderstanding." Grindelwald didn't look frightened at all, he still said slowly: "Excellence and strength have never been the only criteria for me to choose my subordinates."

"It's about being faithful."

"Let me ask you." He also asked, "Are you loyal enough to Albus? After going through this series of encounters, are you still loyal to him as before?"

His eyes narrowed slightly behind the curly hair, Toby simply ignored the question, and asked instead, "But why do you think I will have a chance to join you? Do you really think that I will be as loyal as you?"

"That's another misunderstanding." Grindelwald said: "I never wanted your loyalty, or even anything for me. In my eyes, you just need to be yourself , hold on to your ideals, and stick to them, and that's totally enough."

"Even if one day I will gather people, or fight against you with Dumbledore, will it be no exception?"

"Believe me, I'd love to see this. I've never been one to admit I was wrong, or you wouldn't see me here. Nurmengard, that would be Be my final destination."
