Chapter 71
Draco was frightened into a fool. Lucius had indeed told him not to provoke Professor Highmore, but he never expected that Professor Highmore would dare to do something in the school hospital.

Lucius' cheeks fluttered angrily: "I suggest you better let go, or—"

"What else can I do?"

Toby threatened unabashedly: "Are you going to use your old method? Call your Death Eater friends to arrest me? Yes, Malfoy, I know you were among those sneaky people back then. Inside, you have been contacting Slytherin's backup Death Eater after graduation, trying to cause trouble for me and figure out my situation! But don't forget, there is no mysterious person to support you now! Who else can you rely on now? Rely on your high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic? Or rely on the power of the Malfoy family? Do you think I will care about these? You know me so well, you want me to fall to you before the mysterious man subdues me camp, but do you think I care?!"

The black mahogany wand kept shooting sparks, burning small holes in Lucius' gorgeous witch robes.

Toby threatened viciously: "You'd better pray that I can stay at Hogwarts all the time, don't let me spare time, or you will know the consequences. I am not one of those high-ranking officials who are easy to be bribed, and I will not be stupid enough to believe You are under the Imperius Curse. If you ask me, you should really go to Severus and let him find a way to intercede for you."

"Don't think of me as a kind person like Dumbledore, you know I don't care, otherwise I wouldn't be able to live until now. Didn't you think of me as a lunatic before, let me tell you—"

"The madman is back."

Toby loosened his clenched hands little by little, and stared at Lucius provocatively.

Lucius clutched his cane tightly, his proboscis flapped and breathed heavily.Many times he couldn't help pointing his wand at Toby, where his wand was.

But until the end, Lucius didn't do anything. He walked to the door of the ward without looking back, and pushed the door open, only to see Dumbledore standing outside the door.

"You will regret this!"

Lucius cursed bitterly: "You will regret calling this lunatic back!"

Dumbledore just replied calmly: "Go slowly, Mr. Malfoy."

Draco cowered and hid on the hospital bed, trying to hide his sense of existence, but Toby still shifted his gaze to him.

"Have you finished your homework?" Toby asked coldly, "Have you wasted a lot of time in the hospital?"

"I-I-" Draco stammered out of the hospital bed: "I'll go back and write now, right now!"

Judging from the way Draco ran, he was clearly faking his illness, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Silence returned to the ward.

Dumbledore walked into the room and closed the door.

Toby also suddenly became calm, as if the anger just now was all faked.

"I thought Malfoy couldn't help but want to do it." He said disdainfully, "He really can bear it."

"I also thought you would really do it." Dumbledore stared at Toby: "Fortunately, you can still control yourself and not let ancient magic affect you too deeply."

He had meant to talk about black magic.

"I'm not that stupid, Headmaster." Toby said as if he didn't hear the meaning of Dumbledore's pause, "I know that Malfoy is one of the school's board members, and it would be extremely irrational to act now. "

"Of course, the premise is that I am a professor at Hogwarts." He added: "I originally planned to come back directly after figuring out the secrets of ancient magic in the future. At that time, none of these guys can escape .”

"It's really a grand plan." Dumbledore smiled and said, "It sounds like a declaration of war on pure-blood families. Do you need me to applaud you?"

"No need," Toby said as he was about to leave the ward. He stood at the door and quickly continued, "Let's wait until the day I become the next principal."

Then he ran away immediately, without daring to look back.

A brawl was solved silently like this, no one was punished, and not many people knew that Lucius had been to the school, and Draco didn't dare to tell what happened in the ward. For a long time, he didn't dare to see Professor Highmore—since the professor wasn't even afraid of his own father, Draco didn't even dare to provoke Professor Highmore.

As for Lucius, he obviously understood Toby's implicit threat - don't let Toby have the opportunity to leave Hogwarts, any reason may cause him to do so, such as making the fight a big one.

In the end, Lucius chose to pretend that nothing happened, but both Toby and Dumbledore agreed that he would not let it go, and Principal Dumbledore also said that Lucius had never given up on resigning himself from the position of principal. Pulling it down now just gave Lucius an extra reason.

Since Draco didn't mention it again, it's naturally impossible for Neville to say it again.He had been guaranteed by Professor Haimer in the ancient magic office, and now he is also doing his best to learn ancient magic - he has already figured out what kind of magic circle creation he should make - his memory ball.

Neville intends to make the memory ball able to show what he has forgotten, but after learning that it is very difficult, he decides to set the importance level for the forgotten event through the color division of the memory ball. The darker the color.

Cedric was also called to the Office of Ancient Magic before the Quidditch season resumed. Toby talked to him specifically about the auto-casting wand, thinking it was too early.

"I know how hard it is, Professor."

Cedric said sincerely: "However, I didn't expect to achieve the final goal from the beginning - only need to engrave a magic circle, only one spell is enough. And my father is also very supportive of me doing this, we all do it Ready to buy a second wand."

"Is it for honor again?" Toby asked with a frown. "Is it to prove that Hufflepuff students are not all idiots? Nor are they trash?"

"Professor, I don't seem to have said that. You scolded me too harshly." Cedric said weakly: "But I did have plans to gain honor, but I never dared to say it. Let me say these two words in front of you."

But Toby didn't continue to reprimand, he saw the shadow of his youth in Cedric, he was so unscrupulous at that time, and he was much more cruel than Cedric.

Of course, being a shrewd Slytherin, Toby wouldn't risk destroying his own wand.

He would only destroy other people's wands.

"Then do it." Toby encouraged: "If you don't understand anything, you can ask me, Al is also fine, after all, you are its assistant."

Al nodded decently, and gave his little assistant a positive look.

Cedric only thought that Professor Highmore was joking, but he was still grateful to Mr. Al, and silently planned to learn more ways to take care of Niffler.

The magic circle that Cedric finally decided to engrave was the Disarming Charm. Students will learn this spell in the second grade, and Cedric in the third grade is very familiar with it.

And there is another reason, in Professor Highmore's idea that ancient magic began to die in 1379, the champion of the duel tournament at that time defeated ancient magic with the Disarming Curse.

Toby felt very relieved about this. Cedric was one of the students he admired the most, and he could remember the content of each class well.

Hermione on the side looked at this scene enviously, and she also wanted to engrave the magic circle on her wand.Once she succeeds, she will learn the silent spell in a disguised form, and she no longer needs to recite specific spells. This is a lesson that she only learned in the sixth grade.

But when I think of my pocket money
Hermione sighed silently, and she suddenly understood Ron's situation - that little pocket money alone was not enough for her to buy a second wand.
