Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 327 Harry and James

Chudley Cannons beat Falmouth Falcons for another round! "

"Hundred Years Miracle - The Return of the God of Victory in 1892!" "

""We will conquer all" - the ancient slogan echoing in Hogwarts! "

"The Undisputed Excellent Team Leader—Who Is Gjeon! "

"A Team of Minors—Maybe the League Should Take a Look at Those Who Can't Run the Rules." "

As the final Quidditch League Cup draws near, reports about the Chudley Cannons are flooding in, mostly praise—this refers to the Quidditch, with occasional criticism and doubt—no doubt , only the Daily Prophet would write that.

But the audience didn't care about that, they flocked to Hogwarts on weekends to watch the Chudley Cannons beat team after team, and even draws were no longer a problem for them.

"Nice job, boys!"

On the Quidditch pitch, Gjen encouraged the players who had just returned from training: "Really, I never felt that we were so close to the final victory, as long as we won the final against the Holyhead Harpies." In the final, there will be a chance to enter this year’s World Cup—Toby has already promised us that he will help us with all his strength and will never let us be disturbed by anything other than the game!”

The players burst into cheering smiles.

Now the composition of the entire team has undergone great changes. Neville, who was the only second student in the third year, was replaced. He was too thin and not as agile as Harry, so this was the only way to do it.

Marcus Flint had also been expelled a long time ago. The grievances between him and Wood were too deep, and he often slammed into Wood while celebrating-but this was not the main reason for his expulsion, but Because Wood dodged swiftly many times in a row, letting Flint fall hard on the grass, making himself ashamed, and with injuries all over his body, he missed a lot of games.

Then Gjeon found that the team without Flint was even stronger, and simply informed him that he no longer needed to train.

The tacit understanding of the Weasley twins was selected as batsmen in the later selection, although they came to be famous, so as to sell the products they made more profitably, but their performance was indeed not bad.

Ravenclaw's Cho Chang was also picked, and she stood out from the remaining contestants and was already a Tuthill Tornado fan at the age of six.

It is worth mentioning that whether it is Qiu Zhang or Cedric Diggory, they were originally the Seekers of their respective teams, and they were in the same position as Harry.Later, Gjeon conducted a special selection of seekers, and Harry finally won.

Now both of them have become chasers, chasing Bludgers under the leadership of Gjen, a seasoned veteran, showing an extraordinary tacit understanding.

Now the team has three Chasers (including Gjen himself), two batsmen (the Weasley twins), one undisputed Seeker (Harry) and finally the Keeper. It was Wood, who had no problem with that, and considered it an honor to be part of such a promising team.

Which means, well, there isn't a single Slytherin on the team right now.

Snape once said a few dark threats about this, but Gazeon easily dismissed them.

"You should go to Toby for advice. He is the owner of the team. I listen to him for everything."

Gjen became more and more familiar with the title of Professor Haimo, all because Toby's training method was surprisingly effective, not only did a group of students train better than the official players, but also did not delay any games.

Of course, only the six remaining players know the pain of this-the number of flame balls has been increased to seven in each training session, which is consistent with the number of opponents they encountered in the game.People who don't know what's going on think that each of them has to fight alone.

But at least Harry didn't have any complaints.

Professor Haimer specially allowed these students participating in the competition to extend the assessment time, which was later than the last test of other subjects, which gave them enough opportunities to rest, and did not need to be overwhelmed by the large number of exams at the end of the semester.

Harry hadn't forgotten the content of his assessment-according to the lessons he had with Headmaster Dumbledore, he had to find a way to make Dobby change-for example, don't rush to punish himself and so on.

In other words, Dobby had to become more rational.

Harry tried and failed.

He found it as difficult as the Chudley Cannons could actually make it to the Quidditch World Cup.

Now he has already considered whether to change to another assessment. Well, the content of Hermione turning the flame bottle into a cat is not bad, she has become more and more beautiful.

Just when Harry was thinking about asking Hermione as soon as he got back to the castle, Gazeon stopped him suddenly.

"Harry, you stay here first, I have something to tell you."

Wood, who was passing Harry, patted Harry on the shoulder vigorously, and then gave him an encouraging look.The twins smiled and walked away from Harry, Cedric and Qiu Zhang also greeted Harry before leaving-they all thought that Harry was about to receive secret training, after all, A game is crucial.

After everyone else had left, Harry asked awkwardly, "Sir, I—"

"Call me captain." Gjeon said with a straight face, and then smiled again: "Don't worry, you've done a good job. As long as we maintain our current level, we will definitely win the next game."

This made Harry breathe a sigh of relief.

But in the next second, his heart skipped a beat.

Because he saw Gjan suddenly raised his wand unexpectedly, and said to himself regretfully, "But it's a pity, Harry."

"There will be no next game."
-
The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office.

Lupine helplessly put down the textbook in his hand, he sighed and said, "Can you tell me the reason, Toby. You came here early in the morning, it can't be just because you have nothing to do, I remember you still have a teacher The appraisal of the commendation meeting is going to be busy."

"Yes, I'm really busy." Toby, who was sitting on the opposite sofa, said slowly, "But I'm more curious whether the curse of the position will be fulfilled twice. Tonight is the last full moon before the holiday. If If you're going to take the risk before then, this would be the best time to do it."

"But I thought that would have passed in the first half of the semester." Lupine said flatly what happened to him when he was trapped for half a semester before: "So what are you going to do, Toby? Keep an eye on me Are you going to the Shrieking Shack to transform with me tonight?"

Toby thought about it for a while.

"No, forget it."

He stood up and said, as if to leave.

"Hope nothing happens tonight."

All Lupine thought was that Toby's mind was broken again.

As night approached, Lupine, who had been working all day, decided to go to the Shrieking Shack.

Fortunately, Gjeon hasn't appeared since he went there once, otherwise Lupine really didn't know where he should hide.

He had already taken the wolfsbane potion sent by Snape in advance, which would allow him to spend another full moon smoothly.

Under the dark sky, the playground was already empty.Lupine left the busy castle, he walked carefully all the way to the Whomping Willow, imitating what Toby did before, and hit a scar on the tree trunk with a stone to stop the Whomping Willow.

The passage behind the tree hole was quiet, and there was no light at all.

Lupine skillfully cast the Illumination Charm and walked deeper in the humid air.

After about half an hour, Lupine vaguely saw a bright light not far away, which was the final entrance.

When he got into the room, he suddenly froze, staring blankly at the person in front of him.

"Sirius?" he asked in surprise, "Why are you here? Is the Pig's Head Bar closed?"

Aberforth was sent to St. Mungo's Hospital for examination as soon as he escaped from the trap, and he did not come back after he was discharged from the hospital. As far as Lupine knew, he was sent by Dumbledore to perform some secret mission, and there was A new helper.

As a result, the Pig's Head Bar has always been in charge of Sirius.

Sirius, who was sitting on the sofa, still had that dirty look, he didn't take off his disguise, but of course it couldn't be hidden from Lupine's eyes.

"I have something to tell you."

Sirius said, with a seriousness Lupine had never seen before: "You'd better prepare yourself mentally."

"What is it? You'd better hurry up." Lupine reminded: "The full moon will be in a while, although I have already taken the wolfsbane potion, but--I forgot, you know Animagus, then There really isn't any risk."

Werewolves don't attack animals, and neither do they attack the big black dog that Sirius turned into.

For werewolves, the only prey is wizards.

When Lupine was at school, he would leave the Shrieking Shack with the rest of his friends, which he often regretted afterwards, thinking it would have caused Headmaster Dumbledore unnecessary trouble.

"Yes, I'm an Animagus."

Sirius stepped aside, revealing the hallway opening to the stairs behind him.

Lupine was stunned to see a familiar person walking out of it - it was Gazeon.

"He will too," Sirius continued.

Lupine stared at Sirius in disbelief. He was about to panic. He didn't expect that the secret he had kept hidden would be leaked by Sirius.

At this time, Gjeon suddenly said in a voice that was very familiar to Lupin: "It seems that we haven't seen each other for a long time, so you didn't recognize me. But it's normal, Padfoot didn't recognize me at the beginning. I was recognized because I accidentally showed my feet later—well, it was only half an hour before and after. Who would have thought that Toby would deliberately arrange for me to live in the Pig's Head Bar."

"you--"

Lupine stared dumbfounded at "Gagen."

"Are you James. James Potter? Really you? Why, how is that possible, you—don't tell me, even Peter Pettigrew—"

"Don't mention that guy." Sirius interrupted in disgust: "And don't have any hope for that traitor, he has failed James' trust in him, he deserves to be locked up in prison for the rest of his life, death is not a pity."

Regarding this, "Gagen" just shook his head slightly and didn't say a word.

"I know it's hard to believe."

After a while, "Gjean" continued to Lupine: "But I also can't believe what happened in these years, I never thought that I could survive, or die It makes no difference—a weird way of being the captain of a team that doesn't get noticed."

He raised a hand, and in the dim light from the window, he could see the light pass straight through his palm without being blocked.

Back in Gaunt's old house, he also used this ability to escape Toby's sudden attack.

"Are you a living person, or a ghost?" Lupine asked in shock.

"Neither." James shook his head: "This is an ancient magic, older than any magic I know, and I don't know much about it, but I can only find a way to learn it, only This is how I get to see my kids, and Lily."

"Lily?" Lupine asked incredulously. "Lily Evans? You mean she's alive too—in a similar way to you?"

This time, James was silent for a longer period of time.

"Lily couldn't be saved."

In the silence, he said painfully: "The mysterious man found us and wanted to kill us. I later found out that it was not just a simple death, but related to an evil magic."

"In this magic, my death went smoothly, so I can survive now. But Lily was different. She fought back against the mysterious man one last time before she died, which caused her to suffer more serious trauma. Can't make up for it either."

"That's why I obeyed that man's orders. I had to do this. In order to save Lily, I had to do this. Sorry, Remus, I dare not see you, I didn't know what he would do to Lily's soul." what."

"And Harry, I thought about going to see Harry, but that won't work either. He will definitely notice that even the Christmas present I prepared before was discovered by him."

Under the gradually solidified moonlight, Lupine's body gradually began to deform, his head became long and long, with a hideous face.

"But I have now found a solution."

Taking advantage of Lupine's last waking hours, James said heavily: "I need a place where I won't be disturbed tonight, so I can only pick this place. Anyone who knows will not be near the Shrieking Shack tonight." of."

After he finished saying this, he also quickly turned into a silver stag, and Sirius also turned into a big black dog.

Under the influence of the wolfsbane potion, Lupine, who had completely transformed into a werewolf, gradually fell into a half-dream and half-awake state, which would greatly reduce his threat and allow him to end the transformation process in this way.

The last thing he saw was the silver stag leaving the room with the big black dog and closing the door softly.

After that, the stag and the big black dog came to the second floor together, and they walked to the innermost bedroom.

At the moment when the stag was about to open the door, the door was suddenly pushed open from the inside.

Harry, who had long seen a silver light shining behind the door, held his wand in one hand and the flame bottle made by Hermione in the other, with fear and anxiety written all over his face.

But the mantra he uttered was extremely clear——

"Guardian dies!"
