Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 115 Dumbledore and Toby

Principal Dumbledore walked out of the ward, he gently closed the door, and then left the school hospital. Toby followed him silently, and the two walked in the quiet corridor one after the other.

The two of them were silent with each other along the way, and it wasn't until they sat down in the office that Toby whispered to himself:
"No wonder Severus hates me so much. I didn't expect Lily to succeed. It seems that he blamed me for Lily's death. If it wasn't for love, Lily might still have a chance to survive? No, no Lily wouldn't do that, she's not that kind of person."

Dumbledore asked Al with his eyes what he wanted to drink, and then he made a glass of lemonade and milk respectively, and placed them in front of them.

Al nibbled on the straw, but Toby didn't look at the lemonade.

He looked directly at Dumbledore and asked, "Principal, did you know that the mysterious man would do something at Hogwarts, so you sent me back to school so that I could face the fear I had? And Harry? That's what you planned, Potter? You decided his fate from the start, so you gave him a chance to face Voldemort? You believe the Boy Who Lived story?"

"You planned all of this in advance?"

Toby's tone sounded very rude, he seemed to be questioning Dumbledore-but now, Toby can't help but think about the doubts in the whole process, especially in the final encounter with Voldemort , and the centaur prophet in the Forbidden Forest also said that he had told Dumbledore the fact that Voldemort stayed there briefly.

The principal seems to know everything, but refuses to say anything.

The previous headmasters in the portrait whispered reprimands. They were all very dissatisfied with Toby's attitude. Phineas wanted to say something loudly, but he stopped after seeing Al's inadvertent glance. After he got down, he can only be hung on the wall now, and he can't sniff with a weird-looking one.

Dumbledore unhurriedly created a glass of clear water for himself, and he drank all the water in the glass little by little, and then said calmly: "Do you know, Toby, this is the one I got from Anibani The first sip of water that Ya rushed back to drink"

He raised his head, and his tired gaze behind the lens met Toby's eyes hidden behind the strands of hair.

"It's like a lot of people forget that you're a Slytherin. There are a lot of people, they always think I'm omnipotent, and that's what I'm expected to do."

"But only I know that now I can't even fulfill my wish. It will only exist in the illusory picture of the Mirror of Erised, and I will never be able to change from false to real."

Dumbledore made another glass of water, and he continued: "About Voldemort, yes, I know that he stayed in Hogwarts for a while. But what I don't know is where he hides, and I don't know where he is. How on earth did he survive, let alone whether his plans will change. As for the reason why I didn't tell you all this-think, Toby, if I stopped you from studying while you were in school Ancient magic, what will you become now?"

Toby calmed down a little bit, silently thinking about what kind of changes he would have.

"Black magic." He said frankly: "If you try your best to prevent me from studying ancient magic from the beginning, then it seems that the only choice I have is black magic."

This is an obvious answer. When Toby was a student, there were many students who studied black magic around him, not to mention that he and Snape were good friends at that time.

As for Lily, Lily alone cannot stop them.

Even now, many years after Lily's death, Snape has never given up his pursuit of the Dark Arts.

Some things are hard to change, or even impossible to change, not even time.

And Toby was born like this, just like what the Sorting Hat said to him when he was sorting——

"Well, other colleges can't tolerate you, how about Slytherin, you will definitely achieve something there."

Dumbledore finally became much more comfortable after drinking the second glass of water. He nodded and said, "That's right. I know very well that the direction of the world will not change because of personal wishes, especially when a headmaster When I was in a position, I couldn’t do what I wanted the students to become, they would just do it. Instead, I had to guide them to change.”

"I don't understand." Toby frowned and asked: "What does this have to do with the concealment you caused me? You can obviously reveal some clues to me in advance, and in the final analysis, it still seems that you planned it in advance Everything, even suspected of using me and Harry Potter."

"So that's how you see me."

Unexpectedly, Dumbledore was smiling.

"I'm glad to see that you haven't changed much because you left England, so you are allowed to stay at Hogwarts. But what I didn't expect is that you really see me as the White Lord-this is also your The reason why you chose to leave? Maybe we should have announced it earlier.”

"Isn't it?" Toby didn't understand why Dumbledore would say that.

He really did think so, feeling that Dumbledore would never allow another student to stay if there was a threat from Voldemort that could at any moment be a new threat.

Dumbledore shook his head.

"I'm just getting ready."

He murmured softly: "In many things, I will prepare in advance. Some people only see part of the content, so they will misunderstand me. But I have to see farther than anyone, I need to be correct. Many circumstances were known, otherwise innocent people would have died."

"The reason why you think that is just because I'm not perfect, which is understandable, because I beat Grindelwald. After that, people will ask for more from me, even if I try my best, but still will Someone is upset with me."

"But they have all forgotten that I am not omnipotent."

omnipotent.

Dumbledore mentioned the word again.

Al, who was biting the straw, raised his head: "Yeah."

Then it picked up the cup and moved closer to Toby.

"ah."

"What is it talking about?" Dumbledore asked curiously.

Toby replied blankly: "It said at the beginning that it would be great if there were more Dumbledores in the world."

"As for the latter sentence, it is worried that if this really happens, there will probably be the same number of White Demon Kings in the world."
