Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 342 World Cup

Ever since the Chudley Cannons won the semi-final, relevant reports have been pouring in like a tidal wave. The Quibbler took the lead and defeated the Daily Prophet in this competition, completely becoming a British magician.

The world's most popular magazine.

The members of the Artillery Team were also stripped of their skills. The most popular among them was of course Harry Potter. He was famous for the Boy Who Lived many years ago. This time, everyone was shocked.

Everyone was amazed by his skills in turning the tide.

In other words, Harry once again became England's savior.

At this moment, the savior that everyone wanted to see was enjoying his short vacation with the Weasley family.

"Do you have to leave tomorrow?"

Mrs. Weasley smoothed Harry's hair over and over distressedly: "Can't you rest for a little longer? Look how thin you have become."

"I'm afraid not." Harry said sheepishly: "We have to train a few more times before the finals, and we can't stop for a day. Today is also because of-well, some special reasons that we have time to come back again."

Ron on the side quickly helped Harry cover up the scar. He said: "It's Captain Gjern. He had to go to the Ministry of Magic before the finals, and he brought Harry back by the way. Who makes him the youngest?"

.”

This is a sufficient reason for Mrs. Weasley.

She asked about the current situation of Fred and George. After learning that their performance was very good, Mrs. Weasley said with emotion: "I didn't expect that they are the two people who are the most troublesome - by the way, they

Are you still doing those pranks?"

"Well" Harry and Ron were both silent.

"Forget it." Mrs. Weasley sighed: "I have to prepare dinner, Ginny, come and help!"

After Mrs. Weasley left, Harry immediately fell back on the bed as if deflated.

No matter what, today's experience was too bizarre for him to completely forget for a while.

Especially James's attitude towards him before going to the Ministry of Magic made Harry feel even more puzzled. He didn't know what he had done wrong to make James "angry".

He didn't know his father very well, which was a feeling that was difficult to explain clearly. Even though they had been together for so long, the most discussed topic was still Quidditch, and it seemed that there was nothing else to talk about other than playing basketball.

Ron was pasting a brand new Chadley Artillery poster on the wall next to the older one.

He stepped back and looked at the position of the poster for a while, and then said: "I really hope you can win. Then when Fred and George are in a good mood, maybe I can use it to change the wallpaper. Look, they have become

Tattered."

Harry was so tired that he didn't even want to open his eyes. It seemed that the aftereffects of the pain from the scar were still there.

"Do you know your father?" he asked suddenly.

Ron looked back at Harry and saw that Harry was not in a good mood.

"You shouldn't ask me this kind of question." Ron came over and said, "You should ask Fred and George how they managed to do it after making so many mistakes.

Don’t make dad angry.”

"I've asked them." Harry said unexpectedly: "But they don't think there's anything special about it. They seem to be born with this ability - well, they are also born with the ability to make Mrs. Weasley angry.

"

Ron was amused: "Don't think about all this nonsense. Has the team's mascot been decided? This is the World Cup finals and we cannot be looked down upon by the Bulgarian team."

"I haven't seen it with my own eyes either." Harry changed his mind and said, "But it is said that Professor Hemmer and Mr. Al are preparing for this. Do you think they will -"

"Isn't it?" Before Harry could finish speaking, Ron asked in horror: "Is Professor Hemmer finally going to reveal his collection to the whole world? By then, all the viewers will be in danger - but this

Perhaps this is Professor Heimer's purpose. Doesn't it mean that he wants to teach all the audience a lesson? After all, Professor Angela said that he loves teaching so much."

At this moment, Harry suddenly slapped Ron hard several times, and the unpleasant feeling arose little by little. Ron turned his head stiffly and saw the Professor Hemmer he was talking about standing at the door and watching them.

"Mr. Weasley."

"Here we go!" Ron subconsciously stood up straight and pressed his hands tightly against his trouser legs.

"I seem to have forgotten one thing to ask you. Have you finished your summer homework?"

"It's done, Professor!" Ron said happily. Fortunately, the first thing he was busy with after the holiday was homework. Such an attitude of loving learning scared the Weasleys, thinking that he was possessed by something bad.

body.

"No!" Toby said gently: "You haven't finished your homework, at least not now, especially before you learn the devil, there is still a lot of homework waiting for you."

Al, who was standing on his shoulder, jumped over with a smile, which made Ron feel chills in his heart.

He suddenly remembered that he forgot to ask one thing, and that was how Harry learned to be a devil.

This bedroom was left alone to Ron and Al, and then under the leadership of Toby, Harry followed him to the twins' original room.

Harry didn't know why Professor Heimer came over suddenly. He saw Toby turn around and say to himself after closing the door: "I remember telling you before that Lily is alive in you. I didn't expect it to become a reality now.

It’s just that this person has become Haierbo. Do you think it’s interesting or not?”

Harry's mouth was open, and he stared blankly at the cheerful Professor Hemmer.

"Well, it seems that this joke failed." Toby stopped his smile, shook his head and said, "I thought this might ease your mood and make the next conversation smoother. Some things

It was not convenient for me to tell you before, after all, James is still here, but it is different now."

He took a deep breath, and then said solemnly: "Harry, you should have noticed that before you know it, you have been involved in a lot of trouble, especially what I told you not long ago today.

Another guess - Herbo may be resurrected in you. I want to know what you think about this?"

This time Harry's attitude was much more natural. He repeated almost what he had said to James before, and then asked with some confusion: "Professor, didn't you say before that the Rune Snake Devil does not belong to me only?"

Me? Why are you getting involved with Haierbo again?"

Toby's answer shocked Harry.

"Because you have been indistinguishable from each other for a long time. This is the only reason I can think of. Haierbo is different from the mysterious man. He knows how to use Horcruxes correctly. He has many abilities that we can't think of. He is better than an archaeologist like me.

Even more powerful."

"This is also related to the reason why I came to you."

When he said this, Toby's tone suddenly became serious.

"There is one thing that I think should not be hidden from you - in fact, we have already thought of a way to solve the Horcrux in your body."

"Just kill you."

Harry was speechless and couldn't speak a word. When he made a sound again, he didn't expect that his voice had become hoarse in an instant.

"Is this true?"

"It's absolutely true, more true than Galleons. Considering the impact this news will have on you, Dumbledore and I never had the heart to tell you - but he has left Hogwarts now, so I think

, I have to shoulder part of the responsibility of taking care of you. Moreover, I am not used to hiding this kind of thing from others. Perhaps it is because I have faced death too many times, which makes me disgusted with death."

Harry couldn't even hear clearly what Professor Heimer was talking about. He only saw the other person's mouth moving up and down, and the words kept repeating in his ears - "Just kill you."

As long as I die, can this end completely?

Somehow, Harry felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart - it seemed that this was exactly what he should be doing.

His parents died to protect him, but now James is still alive, and Lily is very likely to be alive too.

Then it should be his turn, his turn to sacrifice.

"Harry?" Toby frowned and waved his palm twice in front of Harry's eyes. Then he took out a small bottle, opened the bottle, and swept it under Harry's nose.

A cold shuddering sensation went directly from the soles of his feet to Harry's head, causing him to wake up in an instant.

"The excitement is indeed a bit great." Toby helped to pat the frost off Harry's head: "But why don't you think about it, why do I have to tell you this news at this time?"

"Why?" Harry asked tremblingly, his whole body shivering from the cold.

"Because besides letting your devil be eaten, I have thought of another solution."

Toby said in a more friendly tone than ever before.

"Do you want to be the master of Death, Harry?"

——

"Won't you stay a little longer, Toby? Dinner will be ready soon."

"It smells really nice, but unfortunately, I still have work to do. You know, I'm the deputy principal of Hogwarts now, so I have a lot more work than usual."

After Toby and Al left the Burrow, a grimacing Ron found Harry. He couldn't help but wonder why Harry looked even worse than himself.

"Professor Heimer really hasn't changed at all."

Harry unconsciously murmured to Ron: "He never sits still and waits for death. He was like this when facing mysterious people before, and he is still the same now."

At the beginning, Toby had wanted to use Harry's Horcrux identity to successfully find Voldemort's hiding place and not give Voldemort any chance to make a comeback.

However, this method failed in the end, and now they know the reason - because Harry is not Voldemort's Horcrux at all, but Herbo's.

So Toby thought of an old method.

Since Herbo can become the master of Death, why can't Harry, who possesses Herbo's soul?

"It's really amazing." Ron praised after listening: "I know you trust Professor Heimer rightly, he can always think of a way."

Harry looked at Ron blankly.

"Did I say something wrong?" Ron asked confused.

"I understand now." Harry suddenly said: "This is the reason why my father and I have such a weird relationship. He doesn't think I trust him."

"Do you really think so?" Ron asked.

Harry didn't know how to answer.

But Ron knew that he no longer needed to answer.

——

Hogwarts, Chamber of Secrets.

At the foot of the tall statue of Salazar Slytherin, lies a skinny skeleton, but unlike the three skeletons surrounding it and looking at it, this skeleton seems to be alive and trying desperately to suck in the air.

Enter the lungs.

Toby leaned down and said: "If you can hear me, I hope you won't move for a while, so as not to turn into some bad monster."

Then, regardless of whether Old Tom Riddle's skeleton heard these words, he straightened up and nodded to Al, who was controlling the magic ball not far away.

The magic ball suddenly turned into a burst of silver water and flowed on the floor. It wrapped the Animagus plant on the other side, and then floated into the air, flying into the air not far from Old Tom.

Toby raised his scepter, and countless red smoke poured out from it, filling the entire secret room hall. The terrifying beast awakened from it little by little, and kept making terrifying roars.

The darkness and noise lasted for a long time, and it took an unknown amount of time before calmness returned again.

At this time, the plant Animagus had completely disappeared, and the skeleton on the floor had turned into a living person again - a handsome young man who looked quite similar to Voldemort when he was a child.

Toby walked over and carefully inspected this body that seemed to have no soul. This was to avoid making the mistake of being replaced by a plant Animagus.

"Riddle? Can you hear me? Tom Riddle?"

Toby put the sobering bottle under the other person's nose again, causing the much younger old Tom to freeze immediately.

His mouth opened up and down several times, repeating a certain sentence.

Toby put his ear out and listened quietly for a while.

Tom is saying -

"Didn't we make an appointment to watch Quidditch together? Merope, where are you?"

——

"Semi-finished product."

When Dumbledore also arrived, Toby had given up trying to get more information out of the other party. He said somewhat boredly: "This man is just a semi-finished product. No wonder he was left in the Castle of Death by Halpo -

—But this can also be regarded as good news, because Lily’s resurrection must be more successful, that’s why she was taken away by Haierbo.”

Dumbledore ignored Toby's slightly cruel comments. After silently observing Old Tom for a while, he said: "It's like the effect of a love potion. He still maintains his obsession with Merope, Voldemort's mother.

"

After saying this, he turned to look at Toby and said, "Then take him to watch a Quidditch match. The World Cup will be held soon."

Toby blinked and pointed at himself in surprise: "Let me take him there? How can I have so much free time?"

"Would it be more leisurely than preparing for the election?"

Dumbledore's reasons seemed impeccable, and Toby was defeated. He still muttered unwillingly: "But I haven't seen what you have prepared at all. Don't make a joke if you lose the election."

"No." Dumbledore said about the news he just learned.

"Because Fudge once again made an extremely stupid mistake - he forced Peter Pettigrew to stay after his trial."

"The members of the Wizengamot have become increasingly dissatisfied with him."
