Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 9 Arrangement
"That's fine."

In the innermost part of the rightmost room on the fourth floor, the light that permeated all the walls slowly converged, concentrating on the metal sphere in the mid-air center of the room.

Toby picked up the ball and handed it to Al to put it away. He clapped his hands and said, "You should feel at ease now, principal."

As a new professor at Hogwarts, Toby also became a member of the protection of the Sorcerer's Stone.

He knew the purpose of these rooms before he rushed to Hogwarts, and they were specially arranged by the professors to protect the Philosopher's Stone.

Today's Toby thinks this is very necessary. Not long ago, he told Principal Dumbledore about the thief breaking into Gringotts. He was a powerful dark wizard. The matter of hitting the opponent was repeated.

"If nothing else, there will be a distinct scar on the thief's body."

Toby roughly measured the distance with his fingers: "It will probably be this long, and it is difficult to heal, and the scar will stay."

"You're doing great, Toby."

Principal Dumbledore said with a pun, not only for Toby's move to force the thief back, but also for Toby's excellent defensive measures in the last room.

Toby was not complacent, but asked with a serious face: "Who do you think the other party will be?"

He couldn't think of anyone who would force Nick Flamel to ask Dumbledore for help.This can't be judged from the role of the Philosopher's Stone at all. The Midas touch and immortality alone are enough to attract too many people.

"I did have some guesses, but they were only guesses, and it took more time to confirm. Even I made quite a few enemies without knowing it, and it's hard to say whether I should be honored or not. "

"So it's more convenient to explore ancient magic." Toby made a joke at the right time, and at the same time was telling the truth: "The living are much more terrifying than the dead."

Dumbledore was silent for a while, and he sighed heavily: "The living and the dead hope it's not the worst outcome."

Could it have been worse?

Toby couldn't figure it out.

"It's better to change the topic to something lighter."

The dignified atmosphere was swept away, and Dumbledore asked gently: "As the headmaster of Hogwarts, it's hard for me not to care about the teaching quality of the professors. How is your lesson preparation? Bring it to me Take a look."

Toby stared at Dumbledore suspiciously: "Concerned about the quality of teaching? Are you serious? I still remember when I was in school, those professors of Defense Against the Dark Arts had completely uneven levels. It's not easy to get good grades in the class, it was the hardest class and I almost failed it once."

"Oh?" Dumbledore thought about it carefully: "Are you referring to Professor Anwen? I remember her, but I have to say that you did show enough bravery in front of her. Professor Anwen's The performance was enough for me to be satisfied. For a whole year, she didn't actually eat your livers, do you know how difficult it is for a hag?"

Toby subconsciously asked: "How difficult is it?"

Dumbledore smiled and said, "It's harder than James not showing off his Quidditch results."

Toby understood now: "That's rare enough, it's almost as difficult as Snape honestly washing his hair once."

The two laughed at the same time, until a cold voice sounded.

"What is so funny, maybe you should also tell me."

Snape's figure appeared in the darkness, he appeared like an old bat, quietly, holding a lot of bottles and cans in his hand, it seems that he also came to set up the level.

Obviously both he and Toby had long hair, but Snape's hairstyle just made him look even more shady.

Toby muttered softly beside Dumbledore: "I regret it, it should be said that it is almost as difficult as Snape's haircut. God, it has been so many years, and he still has this ugly hairstyle."

The corners of Dumbledore's mouth twitched, and he coughed loudly a few times.

Snape pursed his lips tightly, his face turning blue with anger.

"Remember to give me your lesson preparation notes. I'm leaving first. You two old classmates continue to catch up on the old days."

For the first time, Toby noticed that Headmaster Dumbledore's footsteps were so fast that he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"To-by-Hy-Mo!"

Snape gritted his teeth and said, as if he was going to throw the potion on Toby.

"Severus Snape!"

Toby's attitude was much more enthusiastic than his, as if he had just discovered Snape: "I have good news for you, I have officially become a professor at Hogwarts! Ancient magic! It's not an elective course, just like you , are formal courses!"

"seriously,"

Toby ignored Snape's about-to-kill gaze and said, "Maybe we should find a chance to get together with Professor Slughorn, we are all his proud disciples, and he helped us a lot later, Many requests for leave have been successfully passed, do you know where he lives?"

Snape stared at Toby fiercely, but said nothing.

"It seems you don't know."

Toby said disappointedly: "It's really thanks to the Dean who took care of you so much before, but you don't remember anything. You really make me feel strange now, Severus."

"Forget it, I'd better ask the principal, he must know where the principal lives."

When Toby walked to Snape's side, Snape suddenly said in an extremely gloomy tone: "Now I am the head of Slytherin, Highmore."

Toby jumped back in case Snape actually threw the potion on him, which would have been poison.

"Hey!" Toby's tone became sharp: "You really shouldn't blame Lily's excellence on the dean, he just likes outstanding students, and it was you who decided not to join the slug club later on alone The party has nothing to do with the dean, what's the use of complaining about him? He doesn't know you like—"

"boom!"

"boom!"

The potion bottle exploded behind Toby, but always one step behind, without even touching the feet of his clothes.

Al waved his fist excitedly, stuck out his tongue at Snape, and changed several grimaces in a short time.

"You don't need to thank me!"

Toby finally yelled, "I'll help you prepare a gift for the dean!"

When Toby ran to the corridor, he found that Principal Dumbledore was waiting for him outside.

"Severus is really enthusiastic."

Dumbledore sighed.

Toby thought of Witch, the owner of the Veil Bar, who had said something similar.

"Severus always does."

Toby smiled indifferently: "Everyone says so."
