Archaeologists at Hogwarts

"That's good."

In the innermost part of the room on the far right side of the fourth floor, the light that covered all the walls slowly converged and concentrated on the metal ball in the middle of the room.

Toby picked up the ball and gave it to Al to put it away. He clapped his hands and said, "You should be relieved now, principal."

As the new professor at Hogwarts, Toby has also become a member of the protector of the Philosopher's Stone.

He knew the purpose of these rooms before he rushed to Hogwarts. They were all specially arranged by the professors to protect the Sorcerer's Stone.

Now Toby thinks this is necessary. Not long ago, he told Principal Dumbledore about the thief who broke into Gringotts. He was a powerful dark wizard. Toby also used the Shadowless Curse to

The incident of hitting the opponent was recounted.

"If nothing else happens, there will be an obvious scar on the thief's body."

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

"You did great, Toby."

Principal Dumbledore said with a double entendre, not only for Toby's move to force the thieves away, 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 could not think of anyone who would force Nick Flamel to seek help from Dumbledore. This could not be judged from the function of the Philosopher's Stone. The mere Midas touch and immortality were enough to attract too many people.

"I did have some guesses, but they were just guesses. More time is needed to confirm. Unknowingly, even I made a lot of enemies. It's hard to say whether I should be honored by this.

"

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

Dumbledore was silent for a while, and he sighed heavily: "The living and the dead... I hope it won't be the worst outcome."

Could this have a worse outcome?

Toby couldn't understand this.

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

The solemn atmosphere was swept away, and Dumbledore asked gently: "As the principal of Hogwarts, it is difficult for me not to care about the teaching quality of professors. How are you preparing for your lessons? Bring it to me.

Read it again."

Toby stared at Dumbledore suspiciously: "Care about the quality of teaching? Are you serious? I still remember when I was in school, the level of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors was completely uneven.

It’s not easy to get excellent grades in the course, it was simply the most difficult course, and I almost failed it once.”

"Oh?" Dumbledore thought 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

I'm satisfied with the performance. She didn't really eat your liver for a whole year. Do you know how difficult it is for a dominatrix?"

Toby subconsciously asked: "How difficult is it?"

Dumbledore smiled and said: "It's more difficult than James not showing off his Quidditch results."

Toby understood at this moment: "It's so rare that it's almost as difficult as Snape washing his hair."

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

"What's so funny? Maybe you should tell me."

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

Obviously both he and Toby have long hair, but Snape's hairstyle only makes him look more gloomy.

Toby muttered quietly next to Dumbledore: "I regretted it. It should be said that it is almost as difficult as Snape's haircut. God, after so many years, he still has this ugly hairstyle."

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

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

"Remember to give me your lesson preparation notes. I'll leave first. You two old classmates can continue to reminisce about the past."

For the first time, Toby noticed that Principal Dumbledore was walking so fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"To-by-Ha-Mo!"

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

"Severus Snape!"

Toby's attitude was much more enthusiastic than his. He seemed to have just discovered Snape: "I have good news for you. I have officially become a professor at Hogwarts! Ancient magic! It is not an elective course, just like you.

, are all formal courses!”

"honestly,"

Toby ignored Snape's almost murderous gaze and said: "Maybe we should find an opportunity to get together with Professor Slughorn. We are all his favorite disciples, and he later helped us a lot.

Many requests for leave have been successfully approved, do you know where he lives?"

Snape stared at Toby fiercely and said nothing.

"It seems you don't know."

Toby said disappointedly: "It's a shame that the dean took such good care of you before, but you don't remember anything. You really feel strange to me now, Severus."

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

When Toby walked up to Snape, Snape suddenly said in an extremely gloomy tone: "I am the Head of Slytherin now, Highmore."

Toby jumped back to avoid Snape actually throwing the potion on him, which would have been poison.

"Hey!" Toby's tone became sharper: "You really shouldn't blame the dean for Lily's excellence. He just likes outstanding students. Later, it was you who decided not to join the Slug Club alone.

The party has nothing to do with the dean, so what's the use of complaining to him? He doesn't know that you like-"

"boom!"

"boom!"

The potion bottle exploded behind Toby, but it was always one step behind, not even touching his clothes and feet.

Al excitedly waved his little fists, stuck out his tongue at Snape, and changed several faces in a short period of time.

"No need to thank me!"

Toby finally shouted: "I will help you prepare a gift for the dean!"

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

"Severus is really enthusiastic."

Dumbledore sighed.

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

"Severus always does."

Toby smiled nonchalantly and said, "Everyone says that."
