Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 352 Old Tom

Harry had never slept so soundly.

He had a dream, in which he won the Quidditch World Cup, was a great contributor to the Chudley Cannons, and became Cho Chang's boyfriend as a hero.

"Time to get up, Harry."

He was gently pushed awake, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Gjeon's familiar yet unfamiliar face.This is his father, his appearance has completely changed now, and his eyes are also a little different from last night.

The two of them stared at each other silently for a while in the morning light.

"So it's not a dream." Harry said joyfully, as if he was talking in his sleep.

"Of course it's not a dream." James replied with a smile. He understood Harry's mood very well at the moment, because he had such a day before.

But in comparison, Harry's life is much more exciting than his - of course, James is referring to the scale of the Quidditch game, not his lack of eyesight for finding a girlfriend, which no one knows. Not as good as him.

The boys sleeping in the living room got up one after another, and Angela also went to the bedroom to wake up the girls—these people had to join their families early so as not to worry the parents.

After a brief wash, they walked to the door one by one. The caring Mr. Al was waiting for them there, and would help them get rid of all evidence of hangover, such as body odor and so on.

When Harry saw Cho Chang again, he blushed, and Cho's face was even redder than his.

"So, we can only meet when school starts?"

"It seems to be such a thing, um, huh."

Al stared at the two unskilled little lovers, impatiently wrote a few words on the small board, and showed them——

[Remember to write to me——do you have anything else to explain to each other?Do you want to kiss each other before we part? 】

Cho lowered her head shyly, but Harry saw her eyes suddenly brighten.

Harry was dumbfounded by the sight.

"Yeah." Looking at Qiu's back as he ran away in shame and anger, Al shook his head regretfully for the disappointing Harry.

"It's really yours, buddy."

"Should girls take the initiative to speak up about this kind of thing?"

"Where did your courage to win the championship go yesterday?"

The words of the three Weasley brothers were sarcastic and sharp, and at the end Hermione looked at him with even more disappointment: "Is this how you fall in love?"

"Shut up, you guys!" Harry was so angry that several people in the room laughed badly.

After saying goodbye to the others one by one, Ron and Hermione deliberately stayed at the end. Harry also found James who was packing his luggage and asked, "Should I go with you in a while? Can I? Can you not let me?" Back to the Dursleys?"

"Why are you stuttering? I'm not Qiu." James patted the shoulder of Harry, who was blushing incredibly: "Don't worry, I'm sure I won't leave you alone, but your whereabouts are open to discussion—you You know, I don't have a house now, I used to have one, but I'm not sure if we should go back to Godric's Hollow to live"

"I understand." Harry said with a glimmer of hope in his heart: "I've remembered everything, including my memories of being a baby, which really makes people feel bad."

"You even remember this?" James said in surprise: "It turned out that Toby taught you, why did he do this? Forget it, it must have something to do with those weird courses, but this is not the main reason , but because we haven't found Lili yet, even if we go back, we have to wait until our family is reunited before going back—you should know what I'm going to do."

How could Harry not understand James' hint.

"Are you going to find your mother?" He asked in surprise, "Can you take me with you?"

"Then we have to carry Polyjuice Potion with us at all times, and we can't miss it for a day." James said with a smile: "You are a big star now, and you will be recognized wherever you go. Wait for your Transfiguration When will the standard be met—so I plan to let you stay with the Weasleys first, this holiday at most, and you can settle down later. Lupine is willing to take care of you, but his little secret makes him Be scrupulous—it also keeps you out of trouble with reporters, by the way."

Harry didn't lose his temper with James because of this kind of thing, he knew very well that what James said was right-he was so easy to recognize now, and it was the first time that he suppressed the popularity of Lightning Scar .

"So, you're going to be living with us this holiday, which doesn't sound bad." Ron said after hearing the news, "Maybe I can give you some advice, answer letters or something."

"It's just you?" Hermione expressed deep doubts about this: "Have you had a lot of love experience? Harry, don't let him mess you up—although you are already bad, I feel that he is worse than you." worse."

Harry twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, he couldn't really smile.

"You don't need to worry about it!" Ron countered angrily: "And whoever said I was going to reply to Qiu Zhang, I mean Krum—aren't you and him pen pals?"

At this moment, even Harry's eyes became suspicious: "After the World Cup, there is indeed such a thing. But isn't your favorite player me? Why do you always stare at Krum? put?
"

Fortunately, they had rushed back to the Weasley family's tent at this time. Ron saw Mrs. Weasley standing at the door questioning why the twins didn't come back last night. Li lives with us—and he's in love!"

With a bang, the pot and bowl fell from Ginny's hands to the ground. She stared blankly at Ron, and then at Harry in disbelief.

"Oh, bad." Ron said, stopping suddenly.

"Just tell me what you see." Hermione gave Harry a look, and she snorted disdainfully: "But don't let him make trouble, you will regret it sooner or later."

"Looks like we're going to say goodbye too."

In front of the players' tent, Sirius and Lupine came. After greeting them, James looked at Angela and Al: "Is Toby gone? I still have something related to the team." You need to talk to him about it."

"No need." Angela refused: "Toby guessed that you would leave the team, he will let you go free, we will leave after we take away the disappearing cabinet."

"Give him freedom?" Sirius' eyes became a little unfriendly: "So, has that guy become so unscrupulous? Even such words can be said."

"He also guessed that you would say that." Angela calmly repeated: "But guess who is the vice headmaster of Hogwarts now, and who is a person who dare not even go home. "

"Wow." Lupine stood up decisively and interrupted: "I really didn't know that Toby's divination ability is so powerful-he can't guess my words, right?"

Angela glanced at Lupin, her eyes seemed to say that this was really the case - at a time like this, Lupine would definitely stand up and avoid disputes.

"Toby also asked me to tell you, when you have news, try to inform him as soon as possible, and don't fall into anyone's trap again."

Just as Sirius was about to refute, Angela continued to add: "Not only about Lily Evans, but also about Severus Snape—if you find him, be sure to notify Toby's whereabouts - better inform him before telling Dumbledore."

Al nodded his head affirmatively, indicating that what Angela said was not wrong at all, and even the tone of voice was imitated.

After Al and Angela left with the disappearing cabinet that seemed to be about to break, the three of them were silent for a while.

In the end, Sirius took the initiative to break the silence and said:
"Looks like we heard right—"

"He's going to kill him."

Hogwarts, Office of Ancient Magic.

"What did you say? Who are you going to kill? Did I hear you wrong?"

Toby put his ear almost to the still old Tom Riddle just to hear what he was saying.

After experiencing last night's game, this guy seems to have finally gotten the hang of it. He has become different from before. He is no longer so dazed, but will have some reactions to external influences.

It's just that the voice is too low.

Toby waited patiently for a few minutes, and his efforts were not in vain.

"Kill. Kill. Tom Kill. Tom Riddle."

Toby looked up in shock, and he silently looked into Old Tom's eyes.

"You mean suicide? Or... kill your child?"

He was quite sure that Old Tom's eyeballs rolled slightly when he heard the word "child"--the biggest reaction Old Tom had ever had.

"Merlin," Toby couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the office.

"Vice Principal Highmore."

Toby's brain hurts when he heard this name. It is true that Dumbledore always looks like he wants to alienate him deliberately when he says this name-this is not a good thing, maybe he will be specially dealt with.

Fortunately, it wasn't Dumbledore who was knocking on the door today, but the new principal, Principal Minerva McGonagall.

After the door opened, Mag stood at the door. Her stiff and rigid expression melted a lot, and she celebrated with a rare smile: "Congratulations to your team for winning the World Cup, but—"

The smile on her face seemed to only last for a second, making Toby think that he was delusional.

"It's time to go back to work, Toby, as the vice-principal, you have to be responsible for part of the work of recruiting new students, and you have to send these admission letters one by one, including the list of books that the students need to buy, and what they need to use in the new semester. supplies - also, how is your new book going, do you want me to add that to the list?"

Suddenly, Toby seemed to see the shadow of Hermione Granger on Principal McGonagall's face.

It wasn't until McGonagall urged him again that he shook his head and replied after regaining consciousness: "Oh, new book, yes, I almost forgot about it. I prepared a new book, and I also arranged all the course content for the next semester All right--"

"What is it?" Mag interrupted.

Toby became more and more sure that he was right.

Principal McGonagall seems to have become his own book fan.

"Probably—forget it, I'll just give you a copy, let me look for it—here."

On the messy table, Toby found a sample that had just been mailed in not long ago, and the name of the book was engraved on the usual black cover——

Ancient Magic and Ancient Wizards

Ministry of Magic, Wizengamot Courtroom.

This time all the members of the Wizengamot are here, and each of them is trying to avoid making any noise, and they are all silently watching the person who shouldn't be here—Albus Dumbledore profitable.

It didn't take too long just to announce the two news, but the impact it brought was indeed extremely dignified-Minister of Magic Fudge disappeared, and even Peter Pettigrew was rescued.

This time, no one reprimanded Fudge for his incompetence loudly - after all, even he himself was taken away, and I don't know if Fudge would be moved to tears after seeing this scene.

"Let's start voting." Scrimgeour said succinctly, as if he didn't want to stay here any longer.

"Raise your hand if you agree with Albus Dumbledore as Minister."

He glanced around and slowly raised his hand.

Then the second, the third, the fourth
It didn't take long for everyone in the courtroom to raise their hands, and none of them fell down.

"It's long overdue!" exclaimed an elderly Wizengamot member excitedly.

Dumbledore looked over, his eyes calm.

"Raise your hand who opposes Albus Dumbledore's ministerial position."

Everyone put their hands down.

"I declare that the appointment is valid."

Scrimgeour turned his gaze to Dumbledore, asking him with his eyes if he was going to give a speech to inspire people - which was what Fudge had done when he first took the stage.

"Fudge was a very clever minister."

Dumbledore's voice filled every corner of the courtroom.

"I rarely say that about a man - but during his tenure it was the Ministry for Voldemort - please don't be afraid of the name, my friends - when the Ministry was concerned about the mess Voldemort had made With a messy forehead, Fudge also came to power under extremely heavy pressure."

"He was a very good minister. Now we all know that there are many noble and ancient family members among the Death Eaters. What to do with them is a very difficult problem. The wizarding world at that time couldn't bear it. It was a war once, but Fudge's smoothness solved this difficulty very well and bought us a lot of breathing time."

“Then he knew very well that it was difficult to get other people to follow his orders when he first came into office, so he thought of a coup – he wrote me a letter and offered to spread the word that he was asking for my advice. It was a kind of He took the initiative to belittle himself, but it turned out that his choice was not wrong at all, and I did know what he ate for three meals a day, which was not as rich as imagined, or even too light."

"Although you are very aware of the contradiction between me and Fudge later, it is difficult to say who is at fault. We are all just sticking to our own opinions-and time does change a person."

"But one thing will not change—that is the resolution of all members of the Wizengamot. You represent the majority of wizards in the wizarding world, and you clearly know what kind of predicament we are facing."

"Gentlemen and ladies, this is a war that has not yet been fought, and it is a pity that we have not had much time to prepare."

"But please believe that, this time, your choice is also not wrong."

"I have beaten Grindelwald before, and this time, we will also completely defeat them."
