Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 316 Regulus
The conversation that night ended in silence.

After that, Toby's life seemed to return to normal life, until three days later, Lupine suddenly came to the door and told him the expected news.

"Aberforth—the old owner of the Hog's Head, he's back."

Sure enough, Dumbledore did not guess this wrong. It is estimated that Grindelwald really regarded Aberforth as an exchange condition, which was specially used to deal with the devil who was eyeing him.

Miraculously, he actually kept his promise.

Although he didn't say it, Toby understood that this was a promise about the tacit understanding between Grindelwald and Dumbledore. This feeling is really strange-are they enemies?
In any case, Toby had to go and see Aberforth in person.

Just when he was about to ask Al to help him with the class, Lupine suddenly stopped him with a look of embarrassment.

"I suggest you better not go now."

"what happened?"

"Things are a bit complicated, but it's also very simple to say—it's not just Aberforth who came back, but also Regulus Black, who also came with him. He is probably arguing with Sirius, and maybe he will do something - Hey! Wait for me!"

As soon as Lupine mentioned the word quarrel, Toby couldn't wait to leave.

Strangely, he actually ran into Snape who was leaving in a hurry in the corridor on the first floor.

Draco who just passed by was surprised: "Dean, isn't the next class a Potions class? Where are you going?"

Snape and Toby looked at each other silently across the crowd. They had never understood each other's mind like this before.

"Mr. Flint."

Snape casually hooked his hand, as if pulling the bewildered Marcus Flint out of the air.

"You will substitute for me in the next class. Now, follow Mr. Malfoy to the classroom."

Draco thought Snape was crazy, how could he let the troll teach them?
Just as Draco and Flint looked at each other, Toby and Snape had walked out of the castle side by side, followed by a helpless Lupine.

"It seems that your news is very well-informed." Toby said meaningfully.

Before that, Snape didn't know the fact that Sirius was still alive.

"You're not bad either." Snape said with a sneer, and he admitted it without hesitation, and added in passing: "Guess who can't wait to see the fun."

"Who else." Toby also sneered.

Lupine sighed, he could only silently hope that Sirius would solve Regulus' trouble in time.

But he is not a god of death, and he can't think of anything.

When the three rushed to the Pig's Head Bar, they found that there was no customer on the first floor, and there were still quarrels on the second floor.

"Let go of me! I must make him look good!"

"Don't—Sirius, this is not the time to make trouble—"

"Then you just let him go, I want to see how this irresponsible guy will deal with me-come on!"

It looked like Toby and Snape had arrived at just the right time - Sirius and Regulus were having a serious fight.

When they came to the second floor, they saw that Tonks was trying to stop Sirius, while Regulus was tied to the sofa chair. These two not-so-similar faces were snarling at each other.

"Come help!" Tonks yelled as soon as he saw them.

Toby and Snape didn't move. They stood at the stairs silently watching this scene, with gloomy expressions on their faces at the same time.

Lupine wanted to help, but unfortunately he had just turned into a werewolf not long ago, and the aftereffects of weakness were still there. He was almost pushed by Sirius as soon as he walked over.

"Tsk tsk tsk." Toby made an irritable voice: "Look, this is the eternally pure Black family, and they are all starting to help each other become more pure."

"Maybe I can help." Snape looked at Regulus and said, "With a word from you, I can help you get rid of this annoying guy."

Sirius turned around decisively and drew out his wand. At the same time, Toby and Snape also stared at him.

"Would you like to try it out?" Toby sneered, "Two-on-one, I remember this is your favorite lineup."

These words made Snape's face even more distorted. He thought of some bad memories and was about to strike, even the tip of his wand sparked.

"I'm glad to see you guys back together."

Dumbledore stepped in and said, he looked at the dignified people in the room, especially Toby and Snape.

"But not in this way. Put away your wands, gentlemen, and please give me a little private time with Mr. Black—Toby, you need to stay too."

Toby raised his eyebrows and put away his wand, Snape and Sirius stared at each other fiercely, each reluctantly lowered their arms, Tonks sighed wearily, Lupine looked back at Dumbledore, when When he walked to Toby's side, he asked in a low voice: "So, you and the principal have reconciled?"

"Be more concerned about your old friend." Toby patted him on the shoulder and said, almost not making Sirius angry again.

All but Dumbledore, Toby, and Regulus went down the stairs.Sirius made a lot of noise, went to a table and sat down, picked up another bottle of wine and poured it.Tonks silently pushed his glass over, and Lupine sat down beside the two of them.

Only Snape sat far away from them, gently stroking his wand with his fingers, and always glanced at Sirius maliciously.

"Toby."

Dumbledore's voice turned Toby's gaze back, and he said, "Please take Mr. Black to the guest room and follow me."

Dumbledore led the way, walked to a guest room very familiarly and walked in.

Toby came to Regulus slowly, and with a wave of his wand, he untied the rope tied to Regulus.

"Hiss, thank you."

"No." Toby interrupted, and he said in a bad tone: "You thanked you too early, I didn't expect you to dare to come back—stand up!"

He swung his wand again, and tied Regulus who was bending over and rubbing his legs tightly again, squeezing all the air out of his lungs.

After Regulus finally came to the guest room with small steps, Toby pushed him again, and then closed the door of the guest room from the inside.

"I remember there is another resident here." Toby reminded: "It's the captain of the Chudley Cannons, Gjen. I arranged for him to live here a few days ago."

"He's not here today." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "Gazeon leaves very early every day and comes back very late, so don't worry about him noticing what happened here for the time being."

Toby nodded, guessing that Gjen was looking for the team manager again. This guess made him feel bad, and it made it more difficult for him to acquire the team for no reason.

So, he turned his anger on Regulus, pointed at him with his wand and asked, "Tell me, where is Aberforth?"

"I don't know." Regulus said innocently, "I don't know where they took him either."

What Regulus is referring to here is definitely not the group of Grindelwald's students, because Dumbledore explained in the next second: "I sent him to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries. Live there for a while and talk about it.”

"Aberforth is sick?" Toby asked with a frown, and pointed at Regulus with his wand again: "Be honest, what did you do to him?"

"I didn't do anything." Regulus shouted injustice.

"This is my decision." Dumbledore explained again: "Aberforth said that he was in a coma from the beginning to the end after being controlled, and it was difficult to ensure that he would not be tampered with. He is also willing to accept such an arrangement .”

"So that's how it is." Toby thought it would be good to be careful, but he pointed at Regulus for the third time, and asked in a vicious tone: "Don't think I don't know what you're planning - tell me, who Give you the guts to let you come back? Are you going to threaten us with the law of conservation of magic?"

This time Regulus didn't complain anymore.

Sure enough, Toby's guess was right, only he and Dumbledore knew about the law of conservation of magic in this bar, and there must be a reason why Toby was left alone.

"not like this."

Regulus said carefully, for fear of being taught a lesson by Toby again: "I am here to bring you some news. The law of conservation of magic is related to this, yes, but it is not a threat against you, but It's the entire wizarding world—"

He turned to look at Toby, his expression gradually becoming fearful.

"Your ideas have been proven to be correct—the level of magic power in the wizarding world is indeed decreasing, and the rate of decline is gradually accelerating. I don't know why, but it may not be long—"

"There will be no wizards who can perform magic anymore."

=========================
Flint's classes were a mess, he usually passed his exams with a low pass mark, Snape shouldn't have picked him just because he was an assistant of the recognition committee.

Obviously Flint is better at flying - more accurately, it should be called free fighting.

But there was one thing about him that was exactly like Snape - that was a completely unscrupulous preference for the students of Slytherin House.

This time, the Gryffindor students were in bad luck.

After finally getting out of class, Ron, who was trembling with anger, said viciously, "I'm going to report him, I'm going to report him to Professor Haimo, go now!"

He was completely stunned by anger, and he even planned to do something like find the black devil.

Harry stopped him quickly, and Ron immediately shouted: "Didn't you see? We've already been deducted a hundred points, and Slytherin has been increased by a hundred points - he must be punished!"

"That's not what I meant." Harry was also very angry, but he still tried to calm down and said, "What I want to say is that someone just saw the castle where Professor Highmore and Snape left together, and they are not at school now .”

"Then go to Mr. Al!" Ron said persistently, "There must be someone who can cure that troll."

Hermione walked past them holding the book, her eyes were still red, she had just been bullied by Flint in class, and she was constantly being picked on.

"I'll go too." She said fiercely.

Not only them, but other Gryffindor students also united, and they walked towards the ancient magic office together, trying to find someone to uphold justice.

No one thought of going to Dean McGonagall at this time, because they knew that Dean McGonagall was not such a talkative person, and maybe she would be very angry, but at least she would not quarrel with Snape on the surface.

But Professor Haimer is different. Everyone knows how special he is.

When the door of the ancient magic office was opened, the person who appeared would certainly not be Toby who was staying at the Pig's Head Bar, but it was not Al either.

Angela stared at the group of children standing outside the house in surprise, and said happily: "You guys knew I was coming, so you came to welcome me together? I didn't expect that I was just a substitute for you for such a short time. And yet so much love - maybe I should consider a job change."

Al kept sticking out his tongue behind Angela. When Angela noticed something strange and turned her head, it immediately changed into a dutiful face and called the students to come in.

The students were dazed for a while by the sudden appearance of Angela, and then they shouted loudly: "Deduct our points!"

"You still want to be locked up!"

"It's really shameless!"

"Anyone can see that he is imitating Professor Haimer, but the imitation is nothing like it!"

"Seven scrolls of parchment! Seven scrolls! Slytherins don't have to write anything!"

Al quickly understood what the students were arguing about, and he glanced at Angela, seeing that she was keeping silent because of her current embarrassment.

"Ah!" Al simply slapped his thin chest and shouted twice, signaling to wrap everything up on himself.

"Mr. Al is the best!"

In the sound of admiration, Al gradually lost himself, and laughed foolishly.

"Stop laughing."

After the students left, Angela urged angrily: "Where's Toby? Where did he go? Why isn't he at school? I've read a lot of news recently and found that the recent situation is a bit confusing. Please tell me honestly —did he ever break up with Dumbledore?"

"Yeah" Al hesitated to answer.

To be honest, it originally thought that there was such a trend, but no one thought that Grindelwald would suddenly appear and resolve the conflict between Toby and Dumbledore.

I just don’t know how long this time can last, after all, Toby and Dumbledore’s ideas are contrary, especially after discovering the law of conservation of magic.
It simply turned to ask how Angela's trip to France was.

This story is going to be much more interesting—According to Angela, she has become the most popular person at Beauxbaton Academy of Magic and Magic, and even the local headmaster is full of praise for her, saying that she will be recruited. Come over to be the vice principal, and this decision will be effective for a long time, which makes Angela quite distressed.

What is there to worry about?
Al was a little puzzled.

"You do not understand."

Angela shook her head and said, "I'm thinking, after Toby and Dumbledore really become hostile, where will it be safer?"

"Vagadus, or Beauxbatons?"

Al thought about it for a while, and it responded dryly: "Yeah."

It's really hard to decide.
