Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 83 Ask
Principal Dumbledore obviously didn't believe it. He turned around and walked towards the castle. Toby, who was caught, could only follow behind him, giving up his plan to sneak out of Hogwarts.

The two of them were still talking in low voices along the way.

"Malfoy, I knew he had no good intentions. Since he came to Hogwarts last time, he would come to trouble me sooner or later. You should really let me teach him a lesson. No one will know about it."

"But what if, Toby. Malfoy has a high voice in the school board, what if he deliberately provokes you?"

"Then I should have a good talk with him."

"Unfortunately, I can't let you do this, Toby. In fact, I have been suspecting that this is a deliberate scheme by Malfoy. He didn't try too hard to deprive you of your position, and finally Just insisting that you stay on campus for probation—as for the reason, Malfoy is a member of the school board, and it is enough to exaggerate the conflict in the school hospital. You know why he did it."

"Of course, principal. On the one hand, he is afraid of me and dare not really drive me out of school. He knows what the consequences will be. On the other hand, it is also to cause trouble for you. If I really get carried away and leave School, he has an excuse to deal with you."

One of the consequences of school probation is that Toby cannot leave the school for a short period of time.As a professor at Hogwarts, once Toby did this, Dumbledore, as the headmaster, would not be able to blame him.

Dumbledore walked all the way back to the headmaster's office, and he took Toby inside as well.

After sitting down on the chair behind the desk, Dumbledore said seriously, "It's not just that."

Toby frowned at Dumbledore, he couldn't understand what he said.

Dumbledore explained patiently: "Besides dealing with me, I also suspect that Malfoy has other purposes. Maybe Voldemort has already looked for him."

Toby's brows frowned even deeper: "You mean all of this was caused by the mysterious man? He ordered Malfoy to do this? But what's the use of just dragging me to school?"

The other treatment of detention for probation is completely indifferent to Toby, and only the one that cannot leave the school will work.

"We don't know about that." Dumbledore said relaxedly, not looking nervous at all: "And as I said, this is just a guess. Even without Voldemort, Malfoy did not give up on me, and now I have to There you are—well, would you like another glass of lemonade from the principal's office?"

"No need, principal."

After seeing Dumbledore so relaxed, Toby was less nervous.

He got up and left his seat: "I still have to teach the students."

The Philosopher's Stone was at Hogwarts, and it was not unacceptable for Toby to stay at school even if he was forced to. He just needed to prevent Voldemort from getting the Philosopher's Stone.

Therefore, the students were surprised to find that Professor Haimo was not affected by the detention and probation at all. Only the occasional explosion of the magic circle creation would make his expression cool down quickly.

After dealing with a bunch of jumping key chains, several sheets of parchment made of violent football stars, and a whole slapping rope, Toby stood behind the podium and warned with a cold face: "No more!" It won't be long until exam time, and I don't want students failing in my first year, and neither do you."

The students below all lowered their heads, and no one dared to look at Professor Haimo.The two heads, one big and one small, nodded in satisfaction, and then Toby took Al out of the classroom. Instead of returning to the office, they went to the school hospital first.

After seeing Toby, Ms. Pomfrey complained, "What are you guys doing? I can't change my dressing by myself, so I have to ask you to come and help first."

Toby opened the tightly sealed hospital bed curtains: "I'm sorry, Ms. Pomfrey, but the necessary risks must be avoided."

Lying on the hospital bed is a pharaoh's coffin, which is the same one as the ancient magic office.Toby had been hiding in a coffin in the pyramid for a while, in order to avoid the attack of an unkillable mummy, but he didn't expect it to come in handy today.

Toby tapped twice on the coffin with his magic wand, as if some mysterious device had been pried away, and the lid was removed little by little, revealing Mundungus lying inside.

This pair of coffins is still very useful for confining people.

Since Mundungus was relocated to the school hospital, he has been locked in the coffin, which is to prevent him from escaping again, and each time Toby needs to open it himself.

The reason why Mundungus stole the Philosopher's Stone has not been found yet, and Al didn't notice anything unusual at the time. During the whole battle, Mundungus didn't say a word, as if he was controlled by the Imperius Curse.

Reminiscing that Toby found Mundungus in the alley of Hogsmeade Village, he might have been tricked at that time.

But Toby is not worried that Mundungus discovered the secret of the Sorcerer's Stone in the last room. At most, he saw the Mirror of Erised. As for the magic circle, it is still well hidden, and it is only passed to Al through the magic ball. Notified, not fully triggered.

After dealing with the matter of Mundungus, Toby finally took Al back to the office. At this time, Cedric was already sitting obediently across the desk. Since the end of the Quidditch Cup, he would often When he came over, Toby also allowed him to read the books and various research materials in the office at will, and also entrusted him with the work of revising the first draft.

In fact, this was originally Al's job, but Al preferred to spend his time on guarding the Mason Gate, and naturally handed over the work to his assistant.

Cedric didn't refuse. He was very grateful for Professor Highmore's help with the auto-casting wand. He only felt a little unnatural when passing by Hermione occasionally-every time, Hermione stared at him resentfully. Cedric had to speed up the corridor, running as far as possible.

After pointing Cedric again, Toby ordered: "Okay, let's stop here today."

Al, who was dozing off, nodded in a daze, and he gave Cedric encouragement as usual in his sleep with a few clicks.

Five minutes later, after Cedric left the office, Neville Longbottom walked in cautiously.

Toby sat him across the desk, and then asked, "You should know why I called you here. Mr. Diggory said that you appeared in the office some time ago and stared at the Mason door for a long time."

"Can you explain why, Mr Longbottom?"
