Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 63 Exciting Clues
The two stopped pursuing the topic of memory, but began to discuss the bizarre experience tonight.

Dumbledore said: "I specifically asked Mundungus to do the collection of the centaur's items. He should have met the thief by chance, so the other party took advantage of him and wanted to get out of your mouth. information."

Toby thought about it and said, "In this case, the centaur sculpture should be fine. But the key point lies in the internal response in Hogwarts—by the way, Headmaster, who is going to steal the Philosopher's Stone? Is it just an ordinary dark wizard?"

"It is not certain yet." Dumbledore deduced: "But judging from the theft of Gringotts and Nick's forced transfer of the Sorcerer's Stone, it must not be an ordinary dark wizard—you know, since Nick created Since the Sorcerer's Stone, there has been no shortage of wizards who have had his way."

Toby was in no hurry to interrupt Dumbledore's thoughts.

Under his gaze, Dumbledore said calmly: "But Nick does have a candidate who is suspicious, and I think the same - Voldemort."

He said the name in front of Toby, and didn't choose to keep hiding it.

Toby's eyes suddenly became extremely gloomy.

Dumbledore continued as if he didn't see it: "Nick and I agreed that Voldemort would not die so easily. He mentioned his great achievement in front of his servants more than once - beyond death. If Voldemort really made a comeback, We even deduced that he would want to take the Philosopher’s Stone—it’s definitely not for immortality. The Philosopher’s Stone cannot prevent the body from aging. This is a price Voldemort will never bear, and he is unlikely to be willing to rely too much on it The Philosopher's Stone achieves the purpose of immortality. It is even more impossible for gold, Voldemort does not need to deliberately seize wealth, once he makes a comeback, someone will naturally give it up."

"We speculate that what Voldemort most likely hopes is to use the Sorcerer's Stone to reshape his body. This is also one of the magical uses of the Sorcerer's Stone, which is not known to more people. Of course, this is just a guess."

Toby didn't think it was just speculation, he believed Dumbledore's words.

"You-Know-Who, Quirrell."

He chanted these two names over and over, his long hair drooping slowly, but his gaze was always fixed on Dumbledore.

"This sounds like an opportunity, a chance once and for all. The mysterious man is undoubtedly extremely weak, otherwise he wouldn't have disappeared for so many years. You really shouldn't tell me this secret, you know what I will do next What."

The two looked at each other calmly.

Toby finally asked: "So, are you going to stop me, Headmaster? I didn't leave England just because I disagreed with you—"

"Of course I know what's going on." Dumbledore sighed softly: "There is also your fear of Voldemort. You are reluctant to call him by his name until today. But this is normal, after all, you were still at that time." Just a fresh graduate, not to mention being targeted by Voldemort early because of ancient magic, leaving England is a very shrewd decision."

"I also know the consequences of telling you about this, so I chose to let Severus keep an eye on Quirrell instead of asking you to do it-because once you know the I will definitely ask Quirrell for clues about Voldemort immediately after leaving the office—perhaps using the ancient magic methods you are proud of."

"Of course I would do that." Toby said frankly: "After all, he is the Mysterious Man, and I cannot accept his pure-blood supremacy anyway. Mudbloods, they killed so many of them during the Wizarding Wars, it made me miserable at school too, especially with being sorted into Slytherin House."

Dumbledore looked at him keenly: "Don't tell me what you want to say about being rejected and treated indifferently. You and I both know that they don't want to provoke you, but they dare not provoke you, otherwise you will use You don’t need to be trained so many times by me.”

"But what can I do, Headmaster?"

Toby seemed to have returned to his student days at this moment. At that time, he was also sitting face to face in front of Principal Dumbledore, and even the excuse of getting rid of the lecture did not change.

"I've left them alive, what do you want me to do? They shouldn't provoke a Slytherin Muggle-born. If you look at the comparison of blood, I'm more than Slytherin himself. Be more Slytherin."

"Speaking of which, you and Professor Slughorn helped me figure it out—why was I sorted into Slytherin House? It must be that I have certain qualities that cannot be ignored, I have found these traits long ago, so no one else dared to mess with me, otherwise they would definitely be unlucky afterwards, and many people were even admitted to the school hospital before they messed with me."

"I didn't teach you that." Dumbledore was rarely angry: "I obviously explained it to you later, maybe it was because when the founder injected ideas into the Sorting Hat, Slytherin and Gryffindor Duo is still a close friend, so at least they will respect each other's ideas, and there is a chance for you to be sorted into Slytherin House-Gryffindor will not reject new students because of blood."

Toby curled his lips and didn't refute anymore. He acted like a student who didn't listen to persuasion-in fact, he was indeed this identity in front of the principal, and he almost always did this before.

Dumbledore sighed deeply.

"Okay, Toby," he said, "let's get on with Quirrell. I really wasn't going to tell you about it, but since what happened to you tonight at the Hog's Head, I'm not going to hold that anymore." Too much to hope for. But let me remind you that Quirrell is no more important than finding Voldemort's secrets beyond death."

"Beyond Death."

Toby didn't lose his temper anymore, he thought seriously: "Over the years, I have seen some existences beyond death, such as mummies that can't be killed, but the mysterious person's way of immortality, maybe it's because of ancient magic? No, it definitely belongs to the category of ancient magic, other than the magic of immortality within a thousand years, I only know about the Sorcerer's Stone, and even the pharaoh's mask is at least a creation before the founder's time."

Dumbledore obviously knew the information about the pharaoh's mask, and he and Toby exchanged a lot of content in letters.

But Toby wanted to focus on Quirrell, and now there was another reason—ancient magic.

He stood up excitedly, and his veiled eyes became more and more dangerous.

"So, there are not only clues of the mysterious person on Quirrell, but also ancient magic?!"

"sit down!"

".Oh."
