Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 448 Come to an end
447 come to an end
Al was helping to clean up the battlefield. It first restored Dobby to find a helper for himself, and then took the house-elves out of their mummy state one by one.

Meanwhile, Toby started actually watering the mason tree.

Snape didn't leave right away.

He had to figure out what was going on.

In the beginning, it was Toby who found him out of the blue by writing.

On the one hand, the letter asked Snape if he had read Toby's latest book, and on the other hand, he asked him to come back and help him once, and pay back the life that Snape owed Toby.

(Referring to Toby saving Snape from Lupine the werewolf.)
This letter made Snape very angry, but he finally returned to Hogwarts unwillingly.

No one knew what Snape was feeling during this period, and he never told Toby about it.

And very soon, Snape realized how crazy Toby was—Helbo was there, and the two seemed to have reached some consensus.

Snape didn't know why Toby came to Hai Erbo, but he did get instructions from Toby - to kill Angela when necessary, without the slightest hesitation, otherwise he would be there All will die.

That was pretty much all Snape knew.

He stared at Toby's cut palm, and while silently judging whether the wound was real this time, Snape asked with a gloomy face: "Is there nothing you want to explain?"

The blood in Toby's palm pooled into a blood flow, but he didn't look weak at all, and he answered in a tone-deaf voice: "What do you want to hear me explain? How did you find Haierbo? Or how to drive him away?" Him? Or Morgan? The poor hapless little bastard?"

"What do you think?" Snape said in a bad tone, "Of course all of them!"

"That's a long story," Toby said in a loud voice, and Snape could hardly resist punching him in the face in such a terrible tone.

"Don't worry, it's actually very simple."

Toby said leisurely: "After I suspected that Morgan drove Hai Erbo away, I tried to contact Hai Erbo—he didn't have any helpers, let alone trusted subordinates. I kind of understood part of him. character, knowing that he would not miss this opportunity to take on Morgan with me."

"The result was that I could get in touch with him—you can't guess the way—write a letter, it was that simple. An ordinary owl found him and sent back the reply he wrote to me. So I decided to cooperate with him for a short time—of course, Hai Erbo will definitely not miss the opportunity to catch everything, that is, go back on his word, so I also need another reliable helper."

"It's you, Severus. Apart from Lily, you are one of the few helpers I can find. Although it sounds a little sad, and it seems that I am not very popular, I am very relieved, after all, you Came back."

"It's a threat." Snape said coldly, "I came back because of your threat."

"You regard the grace of saving your life as a threat?" Toby reacted after being surprised: "Also, it's not so surprising for a guy with a twisted mind like you to have such a wrong perception."

"Well, you can put your wand down, and we'll get on with that."

The way to find Haierbo was surprisingly simple, but that didn't mean he was easy to deal with.On the contrary, this time's "seeking for help" may cause Toby himself to fall into it.

He must have a sufficiently reliable plan against Hai Erbo.

Thus, Angela and Full Moon were connected at the same time.

"The full moon has an extremely special status in ritual magic, and the ritual magic performed this night can always have the best effect."

"I recalled part of my thoughts - to use Horcruxes to influence the owner in turn. This matter has been going on stumbling, maybe you can't guess, tonight is our first official attempt - thanks to Haier Bo was influenced by Angela, otherwise we would really be caught by him—”

"What did you say?!"

Snape reacted and screamed: "You are not sure about what happened tonight?!"

Toby turned his head and stared at Snape with an idiotic look: "Otherwise, why do you think I wrote in the letter asking you to pay back that life - this is the time to use your life. Before the influence of black magic is deeper, it is better to die in Hai Erbo's hands in advance, so as not to cause trouble to others."

"you--!"

"Let's leave it to you, listen to me first."

Judging from the current results, Toby's plan has succeeded.

The ritual magic performed on the full moon was enough for Angela to influence Haierbo. This was a big breakthrough, and Toby finally had a means to target Haierbo.

Of course, this is only limited to the full moon.

But that's enough.

Because Toby only comes to water the mason tree when the moon is full.

In his weakest time, Hai Erbo finally couldn't bother him anymore.

But that's not the end.

"I can't bear to have to torture Angela over and over again."

Toby continued: "Although this sounds nasty, I'm also afraid that if she accidentally becomes silent or something, she will be driven crazy by this kind of soul pain."

"And I also promised her that I will find a suitable replacement so that she can temporarily get rid of the threat of the Haierbo Horcrux."

"I finally did it, Severus, thanks to the great gift from Hai Erbo - that mysterious man the size of a dwarf."

"He was reshaped by the Philosopher's Stone, and Morgan's birth is also related to the Philosopher's Stone. That is to say, because of the same Philosopher's Stone, they have a special connection."

"I tried to graft this connection to the body that should be transferred - which is Angela. I have to mention here that Nick Flamel is a genius. He used the Philosopher's Stone to extend more than just The longevity of the body, as well as the level of the soul. This also guarantees the possibility of success in this attempt."

"When I brought Morgan and the mysterious man into the red mist, I already let this soul connection return to Angela and Morgan."

Snape frowned, his eyes were extremely dark and unclear.

He lowered his voice and asked, "You mean, now Angela is no longer Hai Erbo's Horcrux?"

"That's not true." Toby said regretfully: "I can only transfer the influence, but the essence still hasn't changed."

"Angela is still Hai Erbo's horcrux, but only Morgan can be affected by Haier Bo through the Horcrux in the future. I can also make Hai Erbo feel the pain by torturing Morgan's soul."

"Morgan has become my weapon. She is more precious than an autocasting wand."

The house elves on the playground have woken up one by one. They were protected by cloth strips without too many serious injuries. After taking care of each other, they walked back to the castle one after another, and every elf was doing their best to help It is an honor for Principal Haimer to be busy.

Snape withdrew his gaze from this strange and unfamiliar scene, and fixed his eyes on Morgan on the ground.

"Are you so sure Morgan is under your control?" Snape asked, his tone full of suspicion.

"I'm pretty sure of this." Toby said still confidently: "After all, I'm also a half-devil, and I know her state very well. All in all, in the ritual magic of this full moon, Morgan has really Turned into a little girl who has just met the school age, at most she only has some special talents of the fairies of the lake."

"This is the mutual influence of the relationship between the two of them—Morgan helps Angela bear the pressure on the soul, and at the same time enjoys part of the ability of the original body."

"But these are useless. If there is no help from me, she probably won't even be able to formally enroll."

"You're joking." Snape said gloomily, "You expect her to obey you obediently at school at this time?"

"I'm not joking." Toby's tone became serious: "As I said, she has now become my weapon specially used to deal with Haierbo. Do you think it is possible for me to place her casually? At least I have to Just keep it under my nose. But, speaking of which—"

Toby looked Snape up and down, making him uncomfortable.

"I haven't been able to find anyone who can pretend to be Morgan's biological parents, and I can't find a reasonable orphanage for her. I don't know if you have the intention to pretend to be--the guardian! I didn't say that you pretend to be her Father, I only mean guardian."

Snape's eyes flared with anger.

"Wishful thinking." He suppressed his anger and roared.

"Then I can only go to Lily." Toby changed his arms to let the blood flow more freely: "Whoever asked her to bring Morgan to see me, someone must take the responsibility Just—I'm not threatening you, Severus, and I'm not saying Morgan will take advantage of this opportunity against Lily."

"It's just because I really don't have any friends, just the two of you. Since you can't do it, then only Lily is left."

Snape's lips were pursed tightly, and his eyes were extremely cold.

"Then it's settled."

Toby immediately understood the meaning in Snape's eyes, and he said cheerfully: "Since you agree to be Morgan's guardian, you can go through the formalities with Al in a while. It's very simple. The school has special rules for this kind of special family. tuition assistance—that's about it. Well, I'm pretty much bleeding, Al"

Toby was dying by the end.

Al, who had been waiting for the order, immediately let the small flying carpet float over, let it support Toby's slowly falling body, pulled him up from the ground little by little, and led him to the castle.

Al patted Angela's cheek alone, and let her walk back to the castle together after Angela woke up.Then Al turned his head and said to Snape in the armor, "Yeah!"

【What are you waiting for?Bring your adopted daughter, and your ex-boss—tsk tsk, you don't look like a boss. 】
-
Before the school day came, Toby successfully mastered the means to check and balance Hai Erbo.Morgan's threat is also eliminated with the final full moon night.

And so it all came to an end.

Snape disappeared that night, he took Voldemort with him, and the Pharaoh mask by the way-it is estimated that Toby's armor prison gave Snape inspiration, but it may also be that Snape was worried about himself Will make stupid mistakes like Toby, just trying to control Voldemort with more means that he can master.

In any case, Toby didn't keep him, because he knew Snape wouldn't stay - especially since Lily had already decided to be the new Transfiguration professor and vice-headmaster at the school.

Snape had been separated from her for too long, and after successfully finding her back, Snape didn't know how to deal with it.

Toby didn't intend to be troubled by this kind of thing. Apart from checking whether Angela was really safe, he also wanted to observe Morgan's condition.

Morgan didn't make a fuss after waking up from a coma. She had seen the transformed mason tree with her own eyes, and she knew very well that the blackened branches were the devil that she carefully took away.

She was a failure, but not a total failure.

Although Toby also controlled the hidden dangers of the devils on the night of the full moon, the final result can only be seen after the mason tree matures-no one knows whether those devils have returned to the back of the mason gate, or Become one with the Mason tree.

Even Toby himself didn't know about it. He only knew a little about mason trees, just like he couldn't figure out how those notes appeared in the Room of Requirement. It was a miracle.

Dumbledore also came to see Toby that night, but at that time Toby had already become weak and passed out due to watering the Mason tree, leaving only the dazed Angela and Al roughly putting together the whole thing. The incident was told again.

Many of these were unknown to Dumbledore. For example, Toby secretly found Hai Erbo, and for example, he was actually risking his life to do it this time.

According to Al's words, but Dumbledore's face was so dark that it was almost cold.

It is conceivable that when Dumbledore really came to Hogwarts to become a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, what kind of surveillance and censure Toby would face.

But these were not Toby's greatest concerns.

In his great ambition, Toby finally took a very important step.

Hogwarts, Great Hall.

The students below looked up and looked at the different faces on the familiar seats. Two of them switched positions, but their expressions didn't change much.

When Lily, the vice-principal, took the sorting hat and the stool away, Toby, who was dressed very solemnly, stood up from the seat.

He changed into the salute specially selected by Angela for him today, which was more expensive than the one at the ball last time—it was inlaid with dark gold patterns, which shone slightly on the black fabric, reflecting the The face under the curls is deeper.

Toby scanned the four college tables one by one, as if he wanted to remember every student's face in his heart.

The auditorium fell silent involuntarily.

Morgan, who was sitting at the Gryffindor table, lowered her head silently. She turned a blind eye to Harry beside her, as if the whole chapter of "Ancient Magic" was engraved on the table.I don't want to read it very much, but I have to show an attitude of paying attention to it.

Dumbledore also sat silently, making no movement.

Finally, after a while, Toby spoke.

His tone was friendly and gentle, as if he was not facing a group of students, but his dearest treasures.

"It's another brand new semester, I have a lot to say to you, but I don't think this should delay the school's excellent tradition—"

"Eat, my children."
