Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 326 Draco and Regulus
Toby thought that Grindelwald's research on ancient magic had been very in-depth, but what he didn't expect was that there were existences he didn't know about.

Mason's Gate - This is a collection that Toby has brought with him since he returned to Hogwarts.

Unlike other collections, the Mason Door does not look so dangerous on the surface, so it was not placed in the vault of Gringotts by Toby, but kept by his side.

In addition, there is another reason-this is also Toby's last Mason door, and he needs to keep a close eye on it.

Toby had owned more than one Mason Door, and the reason he knew this magic item so well was because he had personally explored the interior of the other "two" Mason Doors.

But unfortunately, the other two Mason doors have already been destroyed——

After Toby owned Al and turned into a half devil, they were all destroyed one after another.

In other words, every time Toby prolongs his avoidance of the death curse, it will make him destroy a mason door.

This is one of the few ancient magic items that Toby found that can resist the god of death. The most important thing is that Toby found the bones of Antioch and Cadmus in the same place, as well as the three-folded Mason. Door.

Now he understands why the number of Mason Gates is one more than the bones—because Ignotus, the ancestor of the Potter family, was not buried there, but chose Azkaban away from the crowd—that It was not called Azkaban at that time, it was just a deserted island. It was not discovered until later by the evil wizard Extis, who lured a large number of Muggle sailors to kill them, causing dementors on the island So many situations.

Regardless of the reasons why Ignotus gave up the Mason Gate, and did not pursue the reasons why Antioch and Cadmus buried themselves with the Mason Gate, at least from the current point of view, Grindelwald is not omnipotent .

He didn't get the other two bones at the beginning, but was succeeded by Toby first.

Does this mean that everything that has something to do with the god of death will affect his third eye?
Such as Mason Gate, such as the three dead brothers, and Toby Highmore, the man cursed by death.

After the room became quiet again, Al looked at Toby curiously, thinking of knowing what his next plan was, and how to deal with Grindelwald.

"There is no need to lock him in the Mason Gate for the time being." Toby narrowed his eyes, exuding a cold light: "Since he doesn't understand the origin of the Mason Gate, let's not give him the opportunity to get in touch with the Mason Gate—he does have His own purpose is the same as mine, he also wants to know more about the God of Death, but this time he will rely on the help of Mason Gate."

"If I really lock him inside, maybe by the next full moon, he will try to make a deal with the god of death inside the door - no one knows what wish he will make, so we can't take this risk. "

"However, he still gave us the clue."

Toby said in a colder voice: "If he doesn't know about Mason Gate, what about James? And the guy who taught him ancient magic?"

"Is their purpose also related to the only remaining Mason Gate?"

After roughly guessing the enemy's target, Toby did nothing for the next few days, acting as if the conversation had never happened at all.

He didn't see Grindelwald again, but kept him locked at the bottom of the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.

On the other hand, with the UEFA Cup final approaching, Harry's trio finally completed their extra exams.

"That should be fine, right?"

Ron picked up a bottle that was about the size of his palm, and engraved a complicated magic circle on the bottom of the bottle, but this magic circle did not affect the original ability of the flame bottle at all - the sparks inside were still flickering .

Hermione, who was thin and tired and could not keep her eyes open, dozed off and said, "Yeah, when are we going to find Professor Highmore. I can't wait for him to—"

"You'd better go and get a good sleep first." Harry said worriedly, "If it doesn't work, please take a few days off and go to the school hospital for a period of time."

"The school hospital?" Hermione asked in a daze, "Is Professor Highmore in the school hospital?"

Harry and Ron looked at each other, they simply admitted Hermione's statement, and took this opportunity to really send Hermione to the school hospital.

Madam Pomfrey was startled when she saw Hermione.

"How long has she had a good sleep?"

Neither Harry nor Ron could answer. During this time, Hermione seemed to have been awake all the time, and she hadn't seen her rest.

Madam Pomfrey promised to take good care of Hermione, and when Hermione was pushed onto the bed, she kept asking, "Professor Highmore, ask him if this can compare to an automatic casting wand."

When the two of them came to the ancient magic office with the completed flame bottle, Harry really bravely asked this question.

It was obvious that Toby was also amazed at Hermione's achievement.

He repeatedly looked at the magic circle at the bottom of the bottle, and then looked up at the two young men who were embarrassed.

"Miss Granger completed this alone? It includes the advanced use of magic circles, zooming in and out, and mutual influences—I haven't taught such a difficult and advanced course yet."

Of course, Harry and Ron didn't need to lie in front of Professor Highmore. They honestly admitted their respective roles in this matter-that is, they really didn't help much.

It seems that Hermione has been using the Time-Turner a lot these days.

"Thirty points to Gryffindor."

Before Harry and Ron were happy, Toby stared at them and asked, "Don't tell me, you haven't even mastered this spell—Guardian Death."

"I've tried," said Harry hastily.

In the limited manuscript provided by Toby, if this spell is used without the help of a magic circle, it will produce a small cloud of black smoke, and it looks exactly like Mr. Al.

This can't help but make them wonder if Mr. Al was also the one who created this spell.
It wasn't until Harry and Ron demonstrated it that Toby showed a satisfied look.

"Anyway, you guys are here too. By the way, let's try the assessment of the Teacher Appreciation Meeting again. Who will come first?"

Harry and Ron, who were dragged into detention, had no choice but to face the assessment honestly.

Now that the end-of-semester exam is getting closer and closer, it is estimated that the most popular professor of the year will be selected in a short time-according to the number of students who have passed the exam.

In addition, the selection of ministers of the Black Devil Club is coming soon.

Professor Highmore said at the beginning that the next head of the Black Devil Club will be announced at the annual end-of-semester dinner, and for this reason, the selected students will also add a large amount of points to their college.

This made Malfoy, now a minister, flustered.

With the help of Professor "Lupin" in the first half of the semester, he successfully made the sheep-eating ball, which can make the swallow-tailed dog no different from an ordinary dog, and can help wizards better hide their pets.

But since the second half of the semester after Christmas, Professor Lupine doesn't pay much attention to him, and the popularity of the sheep-eating ball is far less than that of the anti-demon glasses, especially the two brothers who killed the twins on the way—— They used the influence of Grindelwald's escape period to make a fortune through lucky charms and were recognized as strong contenders for the next minister.

As a result, Malfoy found himself less and less likely to be re-elected.

"This is how to do ah"

In the middle of the night, Malfoy was lying on the bed, not far away were the snores of Goyle and Crabbe one after another, disturbing him from falling asleep.

Malfoy, who was getting more and more bored, just sat up from the bed. He came to the Slytherin common room alone, and took out the sheep-eating ball made by Professor "Lupin", and he was dazed.

It's a pity that Sheep Ball has not yet made a function that can affect cats and raccoons, and the owl does not need to be changed. These two most popular pets cannot be improved by Sheep Ball, otherwise, next year's minister may be who.

But it’s too late to say anything now, there are only less than three weeks left until the end of the semester, and there is still a busy assessment for the Teacher Appreciation Meeting—Professor Haimer has made this elective exam a compulsory one for everyone. Pass at least one test.

In other words, no matter how hard Malfoy tried, there was not enough time.

The most exasperating thing is that Malfoy is not the only one who thinks this way, almost everyone in the school thinks so. They even keep all the works that were supposed to be judged, just waiting for Luna or whoever of the twins to take the post Then go find them.

Malfoy felt that he was becoming less and less important, like his father.

During the Christmas vacation, Malfoy went home briefly once, and he saw with his own eyes that Lucius was getting older and older, and he no longer had the dignity he used to have.

This is all caused by the Black Devil Foundation. Besides Wicky, Lucius is also constantly working for the foundation. He has done more work in the past six months than he has put together in his entire life.

Malfoy also got his father's advice - don't try to provoke Professor Highmore anyway, it's already very good to maintain the current relationship.

Lucius has completely given up the idea of ​​resistance, especially after accidentally learning what happened to Scrimgeour, he will not do so anymore, and wrote several letters to Draco while still working, meaning It's pretty much the same as what he said before.

At one point, Draco was shocked to read that his father had suggested that he might try to get in touch with Headmaster Dumbledore more.

Even in Lucius' view, only Dumbledore has the ability to prevent Toby from making even more absurd actions.

Lucius was gradually relieved that Draco had no problem with this.

He has long understood that Professor Haimer is following the rules rather than uncertainties.Maybe it's the archaeological rules that don't know the detailed regulations. No matter what, Professor Haimer will not punish someone for no reason.

Draco himself is also like this, but he has already decided that the premise is that he can keep his position as minister, otherwise he will definitely give Professor Highmore a chance to embarrass himself-just ineffectiveness is enough for him to suffer .

Just as Draco was racking his brains to think of countermeasures, the sheep-eating ball in his hand suddenly moved.

Immediately afterwards, an unfamiliar voice came out from it.

"Is it you, the child picked by the professor?"

The other party is referring to Professor Lupine?
Since the history of the sheep-eating ball was aboveboard, Draco, instead of being disturbed, took it as Professor Lupine's help due to inconvenience.

"It's me." Draco said excitedly, "Who are you? Did the professor come here to help me?"

At this moment, Regulus who was on the other side of the sheep-eating ball was stunned.

Why does the person chosen by the professor sound a little out of his mind? He deliberately chooses midnight to contact the other party. Why is he still talking so loudly? Isn't he afraid of being heard?

There is also this intimacy. Could it be that this child chose to join them so soon?
"I can't tell you my identity for the time being." Regulus had no choice but to say: "You know what the reason is. In order to avoid being known by that guy, we must contact in secret."

This also corresponds.

Draco knew very well that he couldn't complete a work like Sheep Ball by himself, so naturally he had to hide it from Professor Haimer.

"No problem." He immediately agreed: "But the premise is that you have to help me improve the function of eating sheep balls."

This happened to be Regulus' purpose as well.

He really didn't know what the professor had told this child, would he even know that Grindelwald was still alive?

To be on the safe side, Regulus didn't say much.

He's been in this paranoid attitude ever since he was rescued by James.

He was grateful to the other party from the bottom of his heart for saving himself from Toby's clutches, but on the other hand, James refused to reveal anything, and even disappeared.

This made Regulus feel that he was being kept in the dark more and more, but no matter what, he had to complete the task assigned to him by the professor first.

Before Grindelwald went to Hogwarts, he had contacted Regulus and told him that he would pick a special student. A well-made goat ball contacts the student.

In fact, it was too late for Regulus to contact Draco, but this was also Grindelwald's order, and Regulus could only do so.

"What are we going to do next?"

Draco still asked enthusiastically: "Are you trying to change the appearance of the cat?"

Regulus didn't have any doubts about this question, because it happened to be related to what Grindelwald told him.

"No," he said at the other end. "This time it's a deer—a doe. We're going to change into a doe."

Doe?

Is it used to hide large pets?

It reminded Draco of the hippogriff that had hurt him, and if it had to be changed into another look, the doe seemed fine.

Unlike the idea that Draco gradually accepted, Regulus was full of suspicion.

He had already seen the Patronus that Jaime became, a stag, not a doe.

If it wasn't James the professor was looking for, who would it be?
