Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 61 Chapter 61

The real thieves may well have gone to steal the Philosopher's Stone!
Mundungus was just a means for the other party to divert attention. The purpose was to let him find the suspicious professor, so as to weaken the defense of the castle tonight.

After thinking about this, Toby rushed to the room where the Sorcerer's Stone was protected with Quirrell and Snape.

At the same time, Toby still had a doubt in his heart—this thief seemed to know himself very well, and knew what choice he would make.

On the other side, in the room where the Mirror of Erised is kept, Harry and Ron are arguing.

Ron saw his brilliant self in the mirror-became the captain of the Quidditch team, holding the House Cup and the Quidditch Cup in his hand.

The two pushed each other back and forth.

"You've been watching alone all night, just give me a little time."

"You're just holding the Quidditch Cup, what's the fun in that? I want to see my parents."

"Don't push me—"

A sudden voice in the corridor outside ended their argument.They didn't realize how loud their voices were just now.

"quick!"

Ron quickly put the invisibility cloak on the two of them. They waited patiently for a while, and then quietly pushed the door open a gap. However, Toby and the others just turned across the corridor at this time, without them noticing.

"We should go," said Ron, leading Harry out of the room.

Not long after they left, Dumbledore's figure slowly appeared. He was sitting on a table against the wall, following Toby's three people running outside the classroom, his eyes seemed to penetrate the wall.

In his hand was a letter, handed to him by a skullless skeleton.

The letter paper detailed what happened at the Pig’s Head Bar tonight, and at the end Toby gave a special order—【Don’t come to the school hospital, principal, wait for me to enter the room guarding the Philosopher’s Stone before going in. Remember to use the Disillusionment Charm, See if anyone else shows up after that. 】

"It's really Toby's usual style."

Dumbledore murmured, he burned the letter, and quietly left the classroom with the Mirror of Erised, but his brows were slightly frowned inadvertently—not all wizards are capable of casting the Imperius Curse, at least, Quirrell There is no such ability.

But then, what happened to Mundungus?

On the other side, the three of Toby had already walked into the room in the corridor on the fourth floor, and the door lock couldn't stop them at all.

The room was dark, and the shiny new silver armor stood above the trapdoor. Snape and Kilozzi looked at Toby, and although they didn't know why the armor had changed color, they recognized it from the longaxe. One of Toby's collections.

The armor moved, it raised the long axe, and performed a standard knight salute.

"Don't move."

Toby said: "If you don't want to fight with it, return it quickly."

what?
Judging from the expression, neither Snape nor Quirrell thought that this was the way to deal with the armor.

But after watching Toby raise his wand in return, the two followed suit.

The armor stepped aside, pushing the trapdoor out of the way.

Toby waved his wand, and the trap door opened automatically. He jumped in first, and fell into the soft devil's net without moving.

Immediately after was Quirrell with a terrified face, and Snape who fell behind.

"Return the gift? Is this the way you came up with?" Snape sneered.

Toby glanced at him: "Is there anything wrong? At least it can teach you to be polite."

Quirrell watched the two confront each other, not daring to say a word.

The devil's web is a magical creature that is afraid of fire.For the three professors, the magic of summoning flames was too simple. They quickly escaped from the devil's net, descended to the ground, and came to a downward stone corridor.

As their figures were gradually engulfed in darkness, Dumbledore walked in silently in the trapdoor room.

As soon as he appeared, the visor of the armor was lifted, revealing a pair of small black eyes—it was Al.

"ah."

"Hello, Mr. Al."

Dumbledore walked up to the armor with a smile, and Al immediately left from inside the armor, climbed onto the headmaster's shoulder skillfully, and stared straight into his eyes.

Dumbledore seemed to understand Al's intentions. He conjured up a quill and a note, and Al immediately began to write—[Quirrell has a problem. 】

Dumbledore was silent for a while, and the figures of him and Al became transparent little by little, and finally disappeared completely.

"That's at least a good sign."

"ah?"

"Because Toby still trusted Severus, even though he knew Severus was a Death Eater."

On the other side, the three of them had come to the end of the corridor. In front of them was a brightly lit room with a high vaulted ceiling.Countless little birds, as dazzling as jewels, flapped their wings and flew around the room.There was a heavy wooden door on the opposite side of the room.

The bird is in the shape of a key, and there are a few broomsticks in the corner of the room.

"Obvious."

"We can only open this door if we have the right key," Toby said.

Snape said nothing, and Toby didn't move.

Quirrell had no choice but to ask: "Then-then-then what are you waiting-waiting for?"

"I don't like broomsticks so much, I like flying carpets more."

Toby said calmly, and glanced at the gloomy Snape by the way: "Severus is similar, but I never asked you, it's been a long time, haven't you learned how to ride a broomstick yet?"

Snape squinted at Toby: "Then you are doomed to be disappointed. You are the only one left behind, and you are the only one left to be made fun of."

After seeing the confusion on Quirrell's face, Tobido explained: "This is what happened when we were in school. Severus can't even climb a broom. I'm better than him, but I can't fly either. stand up."

This sounds like a very funny thing, but Quirrell was not in the mood to laugh at all, and his flying class performance was not very good when he was in school, because he was afraid of heights.

Snape has indeed improved. He stepped on a broomstick, and the raised witch robe made him look no different from a bat. Today, Quirrell has obviously overcome his fear of heights. Suddenly, a large silver key was seized and thrown to Toby who was doing nothing.

Toby opened the door with the key, and deliberately clapped his hands twice when Snape walked over.

"That's great," Toby said, smiling.

Snape stared at him viciously, as if warning Toby not to name a Chaser at such a time.

The three of them walked into the next room. As soon as they stepped in, the room was suddenly brightly lit.

They stood on the edge of a huge chessboard, in front of them were black chess pieces, which were taller than them, and seemed to be carved out of black stone or something.At the other end of the room, facing them, were some white chess pieces.

"Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration."

Toby pointed to the white pawns that had stood up to stop them from moving forward and said, "But I'm not in the mood to play chess right now."

A magic ball floated out of his pocket, melted, and formed a magic circle under the feet of the three of them.

With a flash of light, the three of them disappeared.

"Let's go."

The invisible trio walked to another door on the opposite side of the room, and this time the white pieces did not stop them.

The door was pushed open, and a disgusting stench came into their nostrils. They saw a huge mountain troll standing in the room.

Toby looked at the reappeared Quirrell: "It's your turn, Professor Quirrell."
