Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 342
Ever since the Chudley Cannons won the semi-finals, there has been a flood of reports about it. "The Quibbler" seized the opportunity and defeated the "Daily Prophet" in this competition, completely becoming the most popular magazine in the UK's magic circle.

The members of the Artillery Team were also turned upside down. Among them, the most popular one is of course Harry Potter. He was famous as the Boy Who Lived many years ago. Everyone marveled at his skill in turning the tide.

In other words, Harry has once again become England's savior.

At this very moment, the savior, whom everyone wanted to meet, was enjoying his brief vacation with the Weasleys.

"Do you have to leave tomorrow?"

Mrs. Weasley smoothed Harry's hair over and over again distressedly: "Can't you rest for a while? See how thin you look."

"I'm afraid not." Harry said shyly, "We have to practice a few more times before the final, and we can't stop for a day. Today is also because of—er, some special reasons, so I have time to come back once."

Ron on the side hurriedly helped Harry cover up the scar, he said: "It's Captain Gazeon, he has to go to the Ministry of Magic before the finals, and he brought Harry back by the way, who made him the youngest?" .”

That was a perfectly good reason for Mrs Weasley.

She asked again about the recent situation of Fred and George, and after learning that their performance was very good, Mrs. Weasley said with emotion: "I really didn't expect it, they are obviously the two people who are most worried-by the way, they Are you still doing those prank tricks?"

"Hmm." Both Harry and Ron were silent.

"Forget it." Mrs. Weasley sighed: "I have to prepare dinner, Ginny, come and help!"

After Mrs. Weasley left, Harry immediately fell back on the bed as if deflated.

In any case, today's experience is still too bizarre, so that he can't completely forget it in a short while.

Especially James' attitude towards him before going to the Ministry of Magic made Harry even more puzzled. He didn't know what he had done wrong to make James "angry".

He doesn't know his father very well, which is a feeling that is difficult to explain clearly. Even though they have been together for so long, the most discussed topic is still Quidditch. It seems that there is nothing to talk about except playing.

Ron was putting a brand new Chudley Cannons poster on the wall, next to the older one.

He stepped back and looked at the position of the poster for a while, and then said: "I really hope you can win, so that when Fred and George are in a better mood, maybe I can use the light to put on a new wallpaper. You see, they are all changed." Ragged."

Harry was so tired that he didn't even want to open his eyes, it seemed that the aftereffect of the scar's pain was still there.

"Do you know your father?" he asked suddenly.

Ron glanced back at Harry, he could see that Harry was not in a good mood.

"I shouldn't be asking this kind of question." Ron walked over and said, "You should ask Fred and George how they managed to do it after making so many mistakes. Don't make Dad angry."

"I've asked them." Harry said unexpectedly, "But they didn't think there was anything special about it, as if they had an innate ability to do this - well, and an innate ability to make Mrs. Weasley angry. "

Ron was amused: "Don't think about these messes, has the team's mascot been settled yet? This is the World Cup final, and the Bulgarian team can't look down upon it."

"I haven't seen it with my own eyes." Harry changed his mind and said, "But it is said that Professor Highmore and Mr. Al are preparing for this. Tell me, will they—"

"No way?" Before Harry could finish speaking, Ron asked in horror: "Is Professor Highmore finally going to reveal his collection in front of the whole world? At that time, all audiences will be in danger—but this Maybe it's Professor Highmore's purpose, isn't it because he wants to give a lesson to all the audience? After all, Professor Angela said that he loves teaching so much."

At this moment, Harry suddenly slapped Ron hard a few times, and a bad feeling rose up little by little. Ron turned his head stiffly, and saw the Professor Highmore he was talking about standing at the door and watching them.

"Mr. Weasley."

"Here!" Ron subconsciously stood up straight, clasping his hands tightly to his trouser legs.

"I seem to have forgotten one thing to ask you, have you finished your summer homework?"

"It's finished, Professor!" Ron said happily. Fortunately, the first thing he was busy with after the holiday was to do his homework. Such an attitude of love for learning scared the Weasleys, thinking that he was possessed by bad things body.

"No!" Toby said gently, "You haven't finished your homework, at least not now, especially before you learn the devil, there are still a lot of homework waiting for you."

Al, who was standing on his shoulder, jumped over with a smile, and Ron felt cold when he saw it.

He suddenly remembered that he forgot to ask one thing, and that was how Harry learned about the devil.

This bedroom was left alone for Ron and Al, and then under Toby's leadership, Harry followed him honestly to the twins' original room.

Harry didn't know why Professor Highmore came over suddenly. He saw Toby turned around after closing the door and said to himself: "I remember telling you before that Lily lives on you. I didn't expect it to become a reality now. It's just that this person has become Hai Erbo, do you think it's interesting?"

Harry opened his mouth, and he stared blankly at the cheerful Professor Highmore.

"Well, it seems that this joke failed." Toby withdrew his smile, shook his head and said, "I think this may ease your mood and make the next conversation smoother. Some things It was inconvenient to tell you before, after all, James is still there, but it is different now."

He took a deep breath, and then said solemnly: "Harry, you should also have noticed that before you know it, you have been involved in a lot of trouble, especially since I told you not long ago today Another guess - Hai Erbo may be resurrected on your body, I want to know what you think about this?"

This time Harry's attitude was much more natural. He basically repeated what he said to James before, and then asked with some doubts: "Professor, didn't you say before that the rune snake devil does not belong to me alone?" Himself? Why are you getting in touch with Hai Erbo again?"

Toby's answer surprised Harry.

"Because you have been inseparable from each other for a long time. This is the only reason I can think of. Haierbo is different from the mysterious man. He knows how to use Horcruxes correctly. There are many abilities that we can't think of. Compared with me, an archaeologist Even more powerful."

"This is also related to the reason why I came to you."

When he said this, Toby's tone suddenly became heavy.

"There is one thing, I don't think it should be kept from you—in fact, we have already thought of a way to solve the Horcrux in your body."

"Just kill you."

Harry was dumbfounded and couldn't say a word. When he made a sound again, he didn't expect that even his voice became hoarse in an instant.

"Is this true?"

"It's absolutely true, even more true than Garen. Considering the impact this news will have on you, Dumbledore and I have never had the heart to tell you—but he has left Hogwarts now, so I think , I need to take part of the responsibility of taking care of you. Moreover, I am not used to hiding this kind of thing from others, maybe it is because I have faced death too many times, so I have become disgusted with death. "

Harry couldn't even hear what Professor Highmore was saying, he could only see the other person's mouth moving up and down, and the words kept repeating in his ears - "Just kill you."

As long as I die, will it be over for good?
For some reason, Harry felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart - it seemed that it should be like this.

His parents died protecting him, and now James is still alive, and Lily is very likely alive.

Then it should be his turn, his turn to sacrifice.

"Harry?" Toby frowned and waved his palm twice in front of Harry's eyes. Then he took out a small bottle, opened the bottle, and swiped it under Harry's nose.

The icy shivering sensation directly reached Harry's cap from the soles of his feet, making him wake up in an instant.

"It's really exciting." Toby helped to pat the frost off Harry's head: "But why don't you think about it, why do I have to tell you this news at this time?"

"Why?" Harry asked shakily, shivering from the cold.

"Because I have thought of another solution besides letting your devil be eaten."

Toby said in a tone of friendliness he had never felt before.

"Do you want to be the master of Death, Harry?"
-
"Won't you stay a little longer, Toby? Supper will be ready soon."

"It smells really good, but unfortunately, I still have work to do. You know, I'm the vice-headmaster of Hogwarts now, and I have a lot more work than usual."

When Toby took Al out of the Burrow, Ron with a sad face found Harry, and he couldn't help wondering why Harry looked worse than himself.

"Professor Highmore hasn't changed at all."

Harry murmured to Ron unconsciously: "He never sits still. He used to be like this when facing the mysterious man, and he is still the same now."

At the beginning, Toby had wanted to use Harry's Horcrux identity to successfully find Voldemort's hiding place, so as not to give Voldemort any chance to make a comeback.

But this method didn't work until the end, and now they knew the reason - because Harry wasn't Voldemort's Horcrux at all, but Haierbo's.

So Toby thought of an old way.

Since Hai Erbo can become the master of Death, why can't Harry who has Hai Erbo's soul?
"It's really amazing." Ron exclaimed after listening: "I knew you didn't trust Professor Haimer wrongly, he can always think of a way."

Harry stared blankly at Ron.

"Did I say something wrong?" Ron asked puzzled.

"I understand now." Harry suddenly said, "This is why my relationship with my dad is so weird. He doesn't think I trust him."

"Do you really think so?" Ron asked.

Harry didn't know how to respond.

But Ron knew he didn't have to answer.
-
Hogwarts, Chamber of Secrets.

At the foot of the tall Salazar Slytherin statue, lay a pair of skinny skeletons, but unlike the three skeletons looking around it, this skeleton seemed to be alive, desperately trying to suck the air into the lungs.

Toby leaned over and said, "If you can hear me, I hope you don't move around for a while, so that you don't become some bad monster."

After that, he didn't care whether the old Tom Riddle's skeleton heard these words, straightened his waist, and nodded to Al who was manipulating the magic ball not far away.

The magic ball immediately turned into a stream of silver water and flowed on the floor. It wrapped the Animagus plant on the other side, and then floated into the air, flying to the mid-air not far from Old Tom.

Toby raised the scepter, and countless red smoke gushed out from it, filling the entire hall of secret chambers, and the terrifying beasts woke up little by little, making terrifying roars non-stop.

The darkness and noise lasted for a long time, and it took an unknown amount of time before it returned to calm.

At this time, the plant Animagus had completely disappeared, and the skeleton on the floor had become a living person again—a handsome young man who looked quite similar to Voldemort when he was a child.

Toby walked over, and he carefully inspected the seemingly soulless body, in order to avoid the mistake of being replaced by the plant Animagus.

"Riddle? Can you hear me? Tom Riddle?"

Toby put the sober bottle under the other's nose again, making old Tom, who was much younger, icy.

His mouth opened up and down a few times, repeating a certain passage non-stop.

Toby put his ear out and listened quietly for a while.

Tom is saying-

"Didn't we make an appointment to watch Quidditch together? Merope, where are you?"
-
"Semi-finished product."

When Dumbledore also arrived here, Toby had already given up trying to extract more information from the other party. He said boringly: "This man is only a half-finished product, no wonder he was left in the Castle of Death by Hai Erbo— —But this can also be regarded as good news, because Lily's resurrection must have been more successful, so she was taken away by Hai Erbo."

Dumbledore ignored Toby's slightly cruel evaluation, and after observing Old Tom silently for a while, he said: "Something like the effect of a love potion, he still maintains a fascination with Merope, who is Voldemort's mother. "

After saying this, he turned his head to look at Toby and said, "Then take him to watch a Quidditch match, as the World Cup will be held soon."

Toby blinked, and pointed to himself in surprise: "Let me take him there? I don't have so much free time."

"Is there any more leisure than preparing for the campaign?"

Dumbledore's reasons seemed impeccable, and Toby was defeated. He still muttered unwillingly: "But I didn't see what you were preparing for at all. Don't make a fool of yourself when you lose the election."

"No." Dumbledore said the news he had just learned.

"Because Fudge made another extremely stupid mistake—he forcibly kept Peter Pettigrew after being judged."

"The members of the Wizengamot are growing dissatisfied with him."
