Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 112 Voldemort

Toby's plan fails.

From the beginning to the end, only the picture imagined by Quirrell appeared in the magic mirror-gaining glory, avenging the enemy, and making everyone dare not underestimate himself.

But in the mirror, only Voldemort is no longer the main picture, but has become a hidden terror, which only shows up rarely.

Voldemort was not imprisoned in the Mirror of Erised at all, nor was he parasitic on Quirrell at this time-he deceived everyone, including Quirrell himself!
After learning the truth, Quirrell suddenly became disheartened. He couldn't even say a complete sentence, but kept shrinking: "I don't know, I don't know."

He turned back to the former Quirrell, the self who was underestimated by everyone.

But Toby didn't intend to just let him go.

A series of sparks shot out from the tip of the black walnut wand, and Toby threatened in a cold tone: "It seems that you are not going to tell the truth, but it doesn't matter, I know where to find the veritaserum. There is the Forgetting Curse, are you going to use the Forgetting Curse as an excuse? I happen to know a way to remove the effect of the Forgetting Curse—as long as the wizard of the forgotten memory suffers extreme pain, he can recall everything—you want Do you want to taste the pain, Quirrell, you want to taste the Cruciatus Curse—"

"professor!"

Hermione cried out in shock, she knew what the Cruciatus Curse meant, which she had read from the collection of books in the Office of Ancient Magic.

But when Professor Highmore looked at her coldly, Hermione immediately regretted it—Professor Highmore looked very scary at this time, just like hearing that Mr. Al was almost injured in the Forbidden Forest.

Hermione quietly grabbed Harry's wrist, and she was already silently planning to run away with Harry when the timing was wrong.

But at this moment, Harry suddenly asked, "Why don't you hand Quirrell over to Headmaster Dumbledore, he must have a way to get Quirrell to speak, right?"

Harry had also seen for a long time that Professor Highmore was on the verge of rage, and his intention of saying this was to remove Headmaster Dumbledore and prevent Professor Highmore from doing anything irreparable.

Harry knew that Dumbledore was the only one who could make Professor Highmore obedient.

However, what Harry didn't know was that his words actually reminded Toby that just before parting, Dumbledore planned to go to Albania.And according to the headmaster, that was also the rumored location where Voldemort had been secretly hiding.

So, Harry and Hermione were surprised to see Professor Highmore regaining his composure little by little. He conjured up a set of ropes and tied them to the listless Quirrell.

"Let's go." Toby warned: "Don't try to play tricks in front of me, or even Dumbledore can't save you."

Harry and Hermione finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the two exchanged a look, each seeing another kind of worry emerging from the other's eyes - but they both felt that now was not a suitable opportunity to speak - the punishment was still to come later Ask again, I just hope Professor Highmore doesn't really deduct Gryffindor's house points to nothing.

However, just as they silently watched Professor Highmore extinguish the black flame in the door frame, they heard the professor ask them: "Mr. Potter, and Miss Granger, do you have any explanations for your actions?"

As a matter of course, Harry and Hermione regarded this as a reflection on their respective actions. They did not dare to hide the slightest thing, let alone lie in front of the professor at this moment, and told the whole thing in a series—more than It was theirs, not even Neville and Ron.

It's easier to reveal in advance than to get more punishment afterwards. Both Ron and Neville are well aware of Professor Highmore's temper. He hates students lying in front of him the most.

"Professor, I was wrong, I shouldn't have become so capricious after seeing that note."

"Professor, I was wrong too. I should have gone to other professors first. I shouldn't have concealed Harry's disappearance."

"Ron. Ron shouldn't be brave, and Neville, he shouldn't have to go with us, but should stop us."

All in all, both of them are about to describe them as heinous dark wizards, as much as Peeves, and it may make people wonder why they haven't been imprisoned in Azkaban yet.

After the black flame was extinguished, Toby pushed Quirrell to the riddle room, and then he started to extinguish the purple flame at the exit.

"wrong."

With his back to the two of them, Toby said suddenly: "Your review didn't hit the point—first of all, you, Mr. Potter, the place you should really go after you receive the note is the Office of Ancient Magic, until now you Don’t you understand where I will go every day? Do you think I will be the professor who likes the prize showroom? Is it that difficult for you to grasp the movements of the professors?”

Harry: "Huh?"

"And you, Miss Granger - you should have thought of the mysterious person earlier, instead of seeing the disappearance as a simple rash incident - whenever you make a decision, you should do Prepare for the worst, and roughly estimate how many points will be deducted from Gryffindor House, and how much impact it will have on you."

Hermione: "Huh?"

"As for Mr. Weasley, and Mr. Longbottom, I will talk to them personally when I have the opportunity. There are indeed many things you need to improve. Just admitting mistakes will not save you from being punished. I have also Naive as you are, I didn't finally know what to do until I found out that this method didn't work for Headmaster Dumbledore at all."

Harry and Hermione didn't dare to make any noise, no matter how they sounded, something was wrong——Professor Highmore's way of teaching students is really unique, actually teaching them how to learn how to be bad.
Especially when the purple flame was also extinguished and Professor Haimo turned to look at them, the two were even more shocked and speechless.

Professor Highmore was actually smiling at them.

"No matter what, your actions have fully experienced the spirit of Gryffindor's academy-whether it is Mr. Weasley's sacrifice, or Mr. Longbottom's sacrifice, and the sacrifice of the two of you before danger is full of Tactful and brave without being entirely reckless."

"I should have rewarded you, but considering that you are not perfect, so this time the reward will offset the punishment-this is the result of my treatment of you."

Although the series of words of "sacrifice" made the two of them feel very uncomfortable (after all, the four of them are still alive), they still couldn't help but rejoice.

"Is it true, Professor?" Harry asked pleasantly, "Gryffindor finally doesn't need to be deducted points?"

"We don't have to be locked up anymore?" Hermione was happier than Harry: "Then when can I go back to be a proofreader—"

"No such thing." Toby suddenly changed back to the incarnation of indifference, and he criticized with a serious face: "Please note, Miss Granger, all your rewards are only enough to offset the punishment , there is no way to get more rewards."

Undoubtedly, since Cedric successfully produced the self-casting wand, everyone has regarded it as the credit of Professor Highmore-the so-called proofreader has naturally become a real reward, but there are many people They didn't even dare to approach Professor Haimer.

"Oh, well," said Hermione dejectedly.

Harry silently patted her on the shoulder in comfort.

"Be happy, children." Toby turned around and said, opening the door: "When you go back, you will become legends among the students. If it were me, I would make good use of this Opportunity, to form a club that belongs to me alone - but unfortunately I didn't have this opportunity when I was in school, you know, I am a Slytherin Muggle-born, and I can't really implement this plan, Sev Les won't listen to me again."

Harry and Hermione decided to pretend that they hadn't heard anything, let alone take Professor Highmore's words seriously--in addition to the fact that the plan sounded a bit evil, it was more because the stench of the troll house had already passed in , so that they had to cover their noses with their sleeves, unable to respond.

Toby did the same, and while staring at Quirrell, he continued to babble behind his sleeve: "It's a pity, I have been regretting the miscarriage of this plan, and for some reason, the principal also knows about this plan , he called me to the office and scolded me for a long time—maybe you will encounter a similar situation in the future, and the following words may help you—if, I mean, if, you are called If you go to the principal's office to lecture, don't show impatience. The principal is more patient than all of you imagined. He doesn't need to teach anymore, and he has a lot of time to spend with you. All in all—"

Harry and Hermione couldn't hear what was going on behind them. Just as they stepped over the giant's thick legs, they suddenly heard Professor Highmore shouting coldly: "Protect the Philosopher's Stone!"

Toby was standing on the other side of the troll's legs, and he saw a black shadow suddenly appear from the back of the lying troll's head, and flew straight towards Harry—it turned out that Voldemort was really possessed The location is on the unconscious troll!
Harry immediately clutched his pocket tightly, he couldn't stand still for a while, and fell on the smelly floor, Hermione tried to block him, Toby also controlled the magic ball to fly towards Harry, trying to knock him protect -

Harry's panicked face was close at hand, and just when the black shadow was about to touch Harry's pocket, the other party suddenly turned around and possessed himself on the magic ball behind him, causing the golden lines to turn into black little by little, and the silver ball also turned into black. It became a pitch-black witch robe, and a pair of red eyes flashed from the darkness of the hood, meeting Toby's suddenly gloomy gaze.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

From the hood came a hoarse and indifferent voice, which sounded like a poisonous snake speaking.

"Toby Highmore."

said Voldemort.
