Archaeologists at Hogwarts

"I already know where you are hiding."

This was originally the content of Grindelwald's letter to Dumbledore. He said that he knew where Haierbo was hiding, and made Dumbledore and Toby go to Deria Island together.

But now, Toby obviously wasn't referring to Hai Erbo.

But the real Grindelwald.

After Toby finished speaking, there was a brief silence in the cabin.

"I knew there was a problem with those two golden eggs. It seems that you attach great importance to this Triwizard Tournament. You must thoroughly check the transportation of the other two schools before you can feel at ease."

"Why, am I wrong? Didn't you already know that I was hiding on this big ship? Why didn't you just find me out, but notify me in advance? I don't remember you being such a kind person."

After Grindelwald finished these two paragraphs in succession, Toby still didn't leave the room immediately to find Grindelwald's hiding place, even though he knew that Grindelwald must be on this ship.

Before the second test of the warriors, they split into two groups, Harry and Fleur, and Cedric and Krum, and opened the golden eggs at the same time, releasing magic that only they could see array.

The function of the magic circle is to thoroughly check the two means of transportation. Its function is somewhat similar to the Marauder's Map-speaking carefully, this is also the inspiration that the Marauder's Map brought to Toby.

Toby stared at Grindelwald on the wall for a while, and he finally said, "Actually, you should be the strangest person right now? Since you already know that your hiding place has been exposed, why do you stay here?" Here, instead of doing something? I believe you must have the means to deal with your own exposure."

Grindelwald responded with a smile: "You can try it, maybe I will stand outside the door now and wait for you to come to me."

"These alone can't provoke me." Toby didn't intend to move, he continued: "Dumbledore told me to be extra vigilant against you when I was in Deria Island, he felt that you haven't given up trying to win me over." intend, and plan to deepen the conflict between me and Dumbledore."

"Although I didn't take it seriously at the time, how could I have forgotten the threat from you—from the very beginning, Lockhart's appearance seemed extremely abrupt, and now I know that he is actually trying to hide your presence. Most importantly, you don't seem to be worried about it at all."

"Dumbledore is right about one thing, you are indeed confident-so I won't find you out, because I already know your means."

"Same as last time, right?"

Toby's gaze was hidden behind the strands of hair, dark and deep.

"You don't care if your fate is being manipulated, so on Deria Island, you once again cooperated with Hai Erbo, pretending to have nothing to gain, and planning to do something in school."

"Maybe even Hai Bo is hiding in Hogwarts, am I right?"

Facing Toby's doubts, Grindelwald's tone remained steady: "Is this important?"

"No, this is at best an appetizer." Toby shook his head and said, "The weird thing is that you just told Dumbledore this clue, and you must have guessed early on that he would invite me to go to that island together." Go—so you want to show me your favor, and tell me all this on your own initiative."

"In other words, you are cooperating with Hai Erbo, but on the other hand, you are also helping me deal with him."

"What is your purpose? I don't see what it has to do with wizard supremacy, and I don't feel any kindness."

Grindelwald didn't refute Toby's a lot of speculation, he just said: "Why can't it be because of the law of conservation of magic? The premise of wizard supremacy is that wizards can at least exist, and I don't hope that one day wizards will stop here." Extinction. Moreover, I don't simply want to win you over to become my subordinate, just like Gildero, although he betrayed me, I won't care about it at all, but will continue to take care of him."

"You are really a generous person." Toby sneered, "But you seem to have forgotten that you were the one who sent Pettigrew Peter the informer. Do you think I might forget about it?"

"Is that really the case?" Grindelwald said with a smile, "Do you really care about the life and death of the Potter family? No matter how I look at it, you just regard Lily as an assistant, and you have nothing to do with it." Too much personal emotion - do you really have any friends, Toby Highmore? Snape? Or Dumbledore? Or any of the other professors at the school?"

"Do people like you and me really care about friendship?"

The two gazes collided in the air, and neither of them was willing to back down first.

After a while, Toby brushed the long hair on his forehead to the back of his head. He said very calmly: "I have always regarded myself as a wizard who is more Slytherin than Slytherin. The founder because Treating the law of conservation of magic differently and parting ways with former friends, it seems that even I will fall into such a fate.”

"But I think you must be wrong about one thing. Yes, I care about them, but this will not affect me to use them. I will also feel heartache, and I will feel guilty, but I will still do it."

"I don't think I've ever changed in that regard, when I first started at Hogwarts, and it's not much different now. I remember all the classmates who bullied me, and revenged them one by one. I also remember the people who helped me, they were kind to me."

"Now do you understand? Do you think it's really useless for Dumbledore to talk to me so many times when I was in school? He knows this better than you. Compared with a ruthless careerist, I am more A real person."

Grindelwald sighed regretfully.

"It seems that this is your response, and you choose to refuse. Since this is the case, I have nothing to say. Just wait and see, maybe you can also try to find Hai Erbo. You guessed right, he is indeed Hidden in Hogwarts. But you should also be aware of his style, anything related to him is not credible, especially those that come out of his mouth - so, in this matter, I'm afraid I can't help What are you?"

"You guys are really reliable allies." Toby said sarcastically, and then left the room without looking back.

It is worth mentioning that Grindelwald was not standing outside the door, and Toby didn't seem to have any intention of looking for him.

After being quiet in the room for a while, Lockhart walked in tremblingly. Seeing that Grindelwald's face hadn't disappeared, he couldn't help but groaned inwardly.

"Gidero."

".professor?"

"There are still two unbreakable vows left by Toby, right?"

"That's right, Professor. Me."

"Don't feel sorry." Grindelwald really didn't blame Lockhart, he said rather abnormally: "Just follow his orders from now on."

"I also want to see if Hai Erbo is really that invincible."

Compared with the turmoil that only a few people know about, most people in the school are just spending their school life as usual—especially for the students, this semester is destined to be uneven.

This was not only because the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts was suddenly replaced, but also for another reason—Professor Highmore was finally going to officially explain why some wizards were so powerful.

In the ancient magic class in the past, Professor Haimer introduced many strange wizards to the students, and they could play ordinary spells with even more exaggerated effects.

Professor Haimer also briefly explained part of the reason—maybe it was because these wizards knew the law of conservation of magic and wanted to solve this problem as much as possible, but unfortunately they didn't succeed. Instead, they learned more unique skills .

Draco Malfoy put all his energy into the classroom as soon as he came to the classroom. He still hasn't forgotten Professor Haimer's promise - if there are really students who can learn this skill in class this semester, then He will undoubtedly become the next head of the Black Devil's Club, and there is no need to consider the popularity of magical creations.

This is a rare opportunity for him.

Draco was really fed up with Luna's dazed and distracted attitude during club activities. If it weren't for the addition of Professor Angela who would come to check on him from time to time, he would have skipped all the activities impatiently.Even if the time is used to practice the magic circle, it is better than this.

This class is destined to be unusual.

After Professor Highmore came to the classroom, the students found that Al and Angela came with them-they hadn't appeared in class at the same time for a long time.

"Put away your textbooks."

Toby stood behind the podium and said: "I didn't write all the content in the book "Ancient Magic and Ancient Wizard". Some of the knowledge in it is only at the theoretical stage. If you know it by chance, it is difficult to have the conditions to copy it."

The students obediently put the books back on the table, leaving only the notebooks for recording on the table.

"I often think that how to explain the content of this class to you is not easy to understand, so I have to invite my assistants, including myself, to give you a good demonstration-there will be no giants The Patronus is so exaggerated, but it can also show part of the effect very well. Let me see, let Al come first."

Al, who was named, jumped onto the podium, shook his body, and then nodded to the students below with a very proud expression.

"ah."

It was very appropriate, and there was a burst of applause from below.

Toby went on to say: "Among the regulations of Hogwarts, wizard children must be 11 years old to be admitted to school. But before that, it may be enough to do it when you have not been exposed to any magical knowledge. The magic that I couldn’t learn for many years—this is generally called a magic riot. Does anyone know why?”

Draco grew up in a wizarding family, and he didn't know much about it, so he could only watch Hermione raise her arms high.

"Miss Granger."

"It's because wizards were more emotionally unstable when they were young, and they couldn't control their emotions, which indirectly caused the magical effect."

"One point for Gryffindor."

After Hermione sat down, Toby said with satisfaction: "Miss Granger's explanation is correct. As wizards grow older, their psychological endurance is also getting stronger-if we want to be more accurate To describe it, the world of wizard children is only so big—”

Toby made a circle with his fingers.

"But adult wizards will see more and understand more, at least this much—"

This time Toby wrapped his arms in a bigger circle.

"In this way, the phenomenon of magic riots can be easily explained. Even if fluctuations three times larger than fists appear in the minds of adult wizards, the proportion is still very small, so it will not cause any harm to them. influences."

"But children are different. Half a fist is enough to occupy half of their world, so it's easier to lose control—especially an extremely terrifying phenomenon, silence."

"This almost only exists among wizard children. It is difficult for adult wizards to have such harsh conditions to learn this magic—of course, I don't think anyone is willing to learn this kind of torture that tortures themselves."

Under Toby's signal, Al shrank his body into a ball first, and his body gradually began to tremble, and then several spikes protruded outward with a bang, poking several big holes out of the podium.

"It's silent, they can't control themselves."

Toby told the frightened students that they obviously didn't know that Mr. Al had this ability.

"Then it will be Angela who will demonstrate it to you. For this reason, I specially asked for a poisonous tentacle from Dean Sprout. This is the one in my hand."

A thorny green plant appeared in Toby's hand, which made the faces of the students sitting in front of him a little unnatural-bitten by poisonous tentacles can be fatal.

Immediately afterwards, the students saw a very strange scene - Angela took the poisonous tentacle without any protective measures, twisted it into various shapes in her hands, and even beat herself A knot—this is almost impossible, because the poisonous tentacles should only regard her as prey.

"Although Angela learned a lot of wandless magic in Waggadu, she doesn't do it now. The poisonous tentacles will obediently listen to her because of Angela's talent - she is born with the ability to calm people's hearts , sometimes it can achieve a hypnotic effect, even comparable to the Imperius Curse—you can understand when you think about the state when you first met Angela."

After saying this, the students immediately understood, and they only had one thought at that time——Professor Angela is really amazingly beautiful.

"Emotion, as well as innate talent, can allow wizards to break through ordinary restrictions and make magic work amazingly."

"But I prefer to sum it up and call it the wizard's instinct."

Toby slowly swept his gaze over the students below, and then suddenly half of his body turned into a pitch-black devil, like a black flame, which could not be fully illuminated by even the light, and could only be seen vaguely. The extremely terrifying figure seemed to be smiling at them.

Not all the students have seen Professor Haimer like this, they endured the fear in their hearts and wrote down Professor Haimer's next words.

"Maybe at a certain moment, you can completely abandon all distracting thoughts, leaving only one thought in your heart, and you will not have any resistance because of this thought at all-whether you are in an unknown fate, or even Even if you know the result is bad, you are willing to accept it."

The combination of Toby's usual voice and the devil's roar echoed in the little wizard's mind like a bell.

"Look for your own instincts. By then, maybe you can become like me—or it may be even more amazing."

This is the meaning of what Toby said to Grindelwald-he also has feelings and cares about some people, but he will also go against these feelings to do things that hurt some people.

Because he knows exactly what his instincts are.

It's not just about wanting to live.

Someday, all wizards will be honored to see this scene.
