Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 84 The Ending Spell

Cedric had already told Toby about the anomaly on the day the Mason Gate opened, that's why Toby called Neville over to inquire.

"I'm looking for Harry."

Neville explained honestly: "After Gryffindor won the last game, I noticed that Harry was dragged away very quickly, so I searched for him in the castle to prevent him from being dragged away again." School points were deducted. In the end, I found that the door of the ancient magic office was not completely closed, and then the rest of the matter."

That's what happened.

Neville was also there when thirty points were deducted for the first time, so he paid extra attention to Harry, and it was unreasonable not to celebrate.

But Neville didn't break into the Mason Gate like the three of them did. He should have hesitated, but he didn't make a mistake in the end.

"You're doing well, Mr. Longbottom."

Toby said with a smile, he encouraged Neville a few more words, and then let Neville leave.

After a while, another student entered the office, Draco Malfoy.

According to Cedric, Draco also came for the Office of Ancient Magic.

Under Toby's stern gaze, Draco tremblingly explained the reason for coming - it turned out that he wanted to keep an eye on Neville because he discovered Neville, and wanted to avenge the beating he had suffered.

It seems that Draco did not dare to lie in front of Toby, so he spoke in such detail.

Toby gave him a few words of warning, and then let Draco leave as well.

He wasn't going to target a student like Snape because of his father, and he didn't have extra time to waste on it. There were still many details about detention.

So, once again, there were some professors in Toby's class, who needed to evaluate their colleagues. The same situation happened to Professor Kettleburn.

Fortunately, since Professor Kettleburn had 62 probation periods, most professors are used to it, and they all have rich experience in communication.

And Toby didn't harm any students. The reason why he was detained for probation was because he threatened a member of the school board, that is, Lucius Malfoy.

Not everyone likes the Malfoy family.

Professor McGonagall praised Toby's ingenious combination of magic circle and transfiguration. Professor Flitwick patted Toby's shoulder consolingly, but in the end he just patted his calf. Professor Sprout also Interested in Bone Age, and almost immediately Quirrell indicated that Toby had no problem.

Toby, who had just finished class, was in a good mood. He asked Quirrell, "How are you doing recently, do you still need to go to the school hospital?"

Quirrell's complexion looked much better, but he still stammered: "No-no, I-I-I'm very-fine now."

"That's really great." Toby said excitedly: "So, you finally have time to solve the vampire curse."

Ok?
Quirrell was stunned, he didn't expect that Toby hadn't forgotten about it.

"I-I have something else to do."

This time, Quirrell refused much faster, and he walked faster, disappearing at the end of the corridor almost instantly.

Behind him, Toby's gaze gradually became gloomy.

The Imperius Curse on Mundungus might have been struck in the village in advance.

But there is another possibility, that is Quirrell.

Toby remembered that on the day Mundungus stole the Philosopher's Stone, Quirrell was also admitted to the school hospital for physical reasons and shared a room with Mundungus.

But the Imperius Curse is not such a simple spell. Principal Dumbledore has long concluded to Toby that Quirrell is not capable of casting such a powerful Imperius Curse, let alone let Mundungus break through so many traps.

But again, Quirrell refused treatment for the curse.

"That can't be done."

Toby murmured: "I don't want to work with vampires in the future, and as one of the school's professors, how can I not lend a helping hand to my colleagues?"

Eru nodded solemnly on his shoulder.

"ah!"

"Kidnapping? No, no, don't forget, we are still in the period of probation, how can we do this kind of thing. But there are so many suspicious things about Quirrell, you can't really treat me as blind .”

So, after dinner that day, Quirrell was blocked.

Trapped in his own office.

"Hey, Professor Quirrell!"

Toby ignored Quirrell's terrified gaze, and he pretended to be generous and said: "I'm here to help you, don't make any appointments anymore, just tonight, I can help you get rid of the curse on your body."

"No-no-no-"

"It's okay, it's just a curse. I've seen a lot. It almost killed me many times. I have a lot of experience in improving the survival rate. You will be fine."

After a pause, Toby then added: "At most, it's just a few more scars."

Under Toby's repeated "exhortations", Quirrell seemed to resign himself to his fate. He watched his body being shrouded in the dazzling light of the magic circle on the floor, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

After seeing Toby put the magic ball back, Quirrell asked, "Is the knot-over?"

Toby gave Quirrell a weird look, and then nodded even more weirdly.

"It's over," he said, casting a spell at Quirrell.

Quirrell was taken aback, and quickly looked towards him, but nothing happened.

"I-you-" Quirrell said in surprise.

"You have been tricked, Professor Quirrell." Toby said disappointedly: "That is a vampire who loves to tease people. The curse he left on you is called the concluding curse. I thought it was related to some ancient ancient ruins. About it."

"So—?" Quirrell opened his mouth, and he spit out a lot of words quickly: "I'm fine now? Don't need to worry about that vampire anymore? Is it all fake?"

Quirrell looked almost overjoyed, he finally stopped stammering, and shook Toby's hand gratefully: "I really don't know how to thank you, do you want me to invite you to the village for a drink?"

"No need." Toby said with a lack of interest: "After all, you also helped me a lot in the professor's audit, and I can't leave the school-so be it, good night, Professor Quirrell. "

Toby left the Defense Against the Dark Arts office. When he was walking alone in the corridor, he was still wondering to himself, "How is this possible? Where did the dangerous smell coming from the Leaky Cauldron come from?" of?"

"Could it be related to the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts?"

"Is this position really cursed?"
