Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 122 Hardcore Education
Although according to Professor Highmore, Harry no longer has to worry about being abused by the Dursleys, he still can't help but doubt the reliability of this promise—not just because he is worried about whether the Dursleys will be abused by the Dursleys. He will be obedient and obedient, and it is because he is worried that Professor Haimo will be arrested if he fails - isn't this a violation of the secrecy law?Is Professor Highmore not afraid of the Ministry of Magic?

It's a pity that Harry never got a chance to talk to Professor Highmore - Fred and George are excited to show him the results of the holiday - a new recipe of multi-flavored juice!

After seeing the two students delving into the magic circle like this, Toby felt very relieved.

"Let's hear it." He asked with interest: "How did you verify the results?"

"Of course it's our dear brother."

Fred grabbed Ron's shoulders, patted him on the back and said, "When we negotiate the first deal, we will pay him a commission in proportion, and we won't treat him badly."

Harry heard something was wrong: "So Ron went to be your guinea pig without getting paid?"

George waved his hand and said, "Don't say it so harshly, Harry. Fred and I are also the subjects of the experiment, so we don't get paid either."

"There won't be any serious consequences, will it?" Harry asked worriedly.

"How is it possible?" Fred snapped his fingers and said, "Suddenly growing feathers, spraying flames from his mouth, and changing the color of his hair, these are even considered light, and there is no explosion or anything like that. .”

George continued: "It should be said that the number has decreased recently. Before that, we almost blew up the bedroom. Fortunately, Fred swallowed all the juice in the end, so Mom didn't find out."

Fred said with lingering fear: "Later, I hiccupped for several days, and it was only by taking advantage of that opportunity that Ron really joined us."

Harry looked at Ron in shock, but Ron just shrugged indifferently: "I have to do this, man. You have seen the changes in Neville with your own eyes. I have to hurry up and collect enough money to buy a I can't wait to get my own wand."

Toby, who drove the car over the clouds, praised without looking back: "Nice job, boys. The process of studying ancient magic has never been smooth sailing. It is even difficult to achieve normal old age and death. Maybe it will happen halfway." Death, I am optimistic about you guys."

The twins were overjoyed at the joke, and Ron was still dreaming of getting his new wand.

Only Harry.

He suddenly felt like he was the only normal person in the car.

Harry felt that he had to lead the topic in a less weird direction, and he didn't want to lose his good friend Ron inexplicably.

"Er professor."

Harry asked hesitantly, "Do you know Dobby?"

If there was one thing Harry had really learned during the last term, it was that one should never stop being self-righteous.

Well. At least in Dobby's case, Harry couldn't figure out the house-elf's motives, so he turned to the man he thought most reliable in the car, Professor Highmore, for help.

Even without the Dursleys, Professor Highmore helped them defeat Voldemort last semester, so he should be worthy of Harry's trust.

Harry repeated Dobby's inexplicable warnings to him. Professor Highmore didn't rush to ask questions, but the other three whispered instead.

"Honestly, Harry, I feel like he's lying to you," said George.

"Lied to me, how come?" Harry asked in surprise.

"Because he has been preventing you from returning to Hogwarts." Fred on the side took it for granted, "And house elves generally cannot use magic against their master's wishes. Allow—do you have any enemies at school?"

"Yes." Harry and Ron said in unison at once.

"Draco Malfoy," Harry explained, "he hates me."

At this time, Professor Haimer, who was sitting in the front row, finally spoke: "Listen, kid, I don't think the Malfoy family would dare to make trouble at a time like this, unless they don't even dare to take their lives—but , What did you just say? [Not the one who can’t even mention his name?]”

"I remember correctly, Professor." Harry said quickly, "That's what Dobby told me. He said that someone was trying to kill me, and it would be dangerous to go back to school. I asked him if he was with V-yes It’s not related to the mysterious man, his answer is [not the one who can’t even mention the name].”

"Did he really say that?" Toby frowned and confirmed again.

Harry nodded quickly, looking at Professor Highmore's back expectantly.

"Then it should be right." Toby suddenly said with certainty: "This matter is related to the mysterious man—I have personally experienced that dark period. In the very beginning, there will be people who—— Call him by the code name you know, and it was not until later that everyone became insecure and dared not even pronounce his name."

"Dobby is reminding you that this is related to the mysterious man."

The astonishing guess made the car suddenly silent. The car's windshield wiper swiped back and forth, and Toby pulled out his magic wand and waved it, making the car quiet again.

"It seems that the transformation of this car is not complete enough, and it needs more thought - Ron Weasley, what's wrong with you?"

"No, professor." Ron thought that he shouldn't lie in front of Professor Haimer, and he changed his words in time: "I just don't believe it, even you dare not say his name."

"Because I'm not Dumbledore." Toby said frankly: "And if you were deliberately targeted by mysterious people during the war, you would really know the taste of fear."

After a pause, he added: "That kind of feeling is not good. It is always right to be careful, shrewdness is always the most precious quality in Slytherin. And, as far as I know, I am also the only one who is targeted by him." , who survived unharmed afterwards. Other than that, there is only the great Dumbledore."

When he said this, Toby observed Harry's reaction through the rearview mirror. He saw that Harry was trying to hide the loneliness in his heart, but he couldn't help becoming depressed.

Harry was clearly thinking of his parents.

Toby felt he should encourage Harry at times like this.

So, he continued, "Mr. Potter, if I were you, do you know what I would do?"

Harry was stunned: "What? You...I can't guess, sir."

"It's simple."

Toby said eloquently: "First of all, I will deceive Dobby, pretending to promise him that he will not go to Hogwarts, and then find a way to deceive those intercepted letters from him. This is extremely important to know outside information. step."

"Then, I'll try to get more useful information out of Dobby's mouth. House elves make mistakes too. They're not perfect, and they're not that intelligent, especially when he approaches you. , This is simply a perfect channel for inquiring about news. The most interesting thing is that once he really accidentally reveals the truth, Dobby will not only not blame you, but will take the lead in punishing himself. This is the constant characteristic of house elves —easy to be manipulated.”

"So, have you learned?"

Harry's eyes became more and more flustered.

"what?!"
