Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 134 The Longbottoms

Through the dummy window of Taotao Company, Toby walked into the hall on the first floor of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Sickness.

This time, he didn't pretend to be any more, and Al didn't want to continue to play the doll. It was hidden in Toby's witch robe pocket, which looked like a bag full of gifts.

It happened that a therapist passed by Toby. Toby recognized that this was the wizard who blocked him last time and asked the sniffing doll. At that time, Toby dismissed him with an Egyptian bar.

The therapist didn't recognize Toby, who was chatting with a female therapist of a similar age with his head tilted, amused by her.

Toby looked at the backs of the two talking and laughing, and he patted his bulging pockets: "He is really lucky, but it seems that good things will still happen in the wizarding world."

Al couldn't show his head in the crowded hall, he turned over in boredom, only felt that the gold spent on "The Quibbler" was a pity, and it also made Xixiu feel distressed.

After a while, Neville walked down the stairs quickly, and he saw Toby at a glance.

"professor!"

Neville waved and greeted excitedly: "I'm here - are you here to see my parents? They're all awake!"

Now Neville looked more and more cheerful, and the Longbottoms' awakening played a big role.

"Slower."

Reaching out, Toby pulled Neville away from a patient whose head had been turned into an alarm clock.

"There is one more important thing."

Toby said solemnly, he raised a finger, and Neville couldn't help becoming nervous.

"Is Mrs. Longbottom upstairs?"

Neville said in a daze, "No, grandma will come over at noon to bring lunch to mom and dad—"

"That's good." Toby breathed a sigh of relief, and he said cheerfully, "Let's go, it's time to visit Frank and Alice."

Before Neville could recover from the sudden question, he saw Professor Highmore turn around again, and asked himself seriously: "By the way, Mr. Longbottom, have you finished your vacation homework?"

"It's finished." Neville seemed to have returned to the ancient magic class in an instant, and it seemed to have returned to the experience of being confined.

"It's already finished, Professor."

They finally started to leave. Neville was still shocked, and his previous excitement was gone. He returned to the ward on the fifth floor with a dazed expression.

After walking into the long-term ward, Toby finally saw Frank and Alice. The two looked much better now, especially their eyes and expressions. Not only were they no longer dull, but they were also arguing fiercely with a therapist .

"Listen, we're really back to normal."

Frank stretched out his arms and swayed them in circles: "Look, I can do this kind of action now! If you don't believe me, I can still do push-ups. Do you want to do it now?"

Alice's protest was much more normal than Frank's.

"We need to go home!"

She stood in front of the therapist aggressively, her Auror's temperament was revealed unscrupulously, as if she would duel with the healer who kept retreating in the next moment, even though she didn't have a wand in her hand.

"We've been in the hospital long enough, it's time to reunite with our families! You can't stop us! Want to try it? Come on! Come on!"

At this moment, the man on the hospital bed next to him spit out a bubble from his mouth, and the fire dragon girl on the opposite side stretched out her tail to pop the bubble, but Alice grabbed her fiercely, and she said to the woman: "You have to Stop it, it won't help your condition—oh dear, how did you come back?"

Neville was already stunned. Judging from the shock in his eyes, it was obvious that the Longbottoms had always concealed it very well, and they had never behaved like this in front of him.

Alice quietly tucked Charmander's tail back, and she gave Frank a quick look, so Frank walked over shaking his arms, and said gently to Neville, "Son, we are just discussing the condition with the therapist That's all, don't worry, we are all fine, don't worry about us."

Neville stared at Frank's swaying arm, unable to say anything.

"Cough cough."

Toby coughed twice in a timely manner, and he reminded aloud: "It's time to put your arms down, Frank, you're scaring Neville."

After he finished speaking, Frank and Alice were taken aback, and they immediately looked at Toby.

Frank was the fastest. He stretched out his hand, brushed Toby's long hair back, and looked at his face carefully.

"Toby!" Frank exclaimed in surprise. "Oh my God, when did you get your new haircut? Don't tell me you're imitating Snape - I heard he was Slater Lin's dean, did you take the initiative to give up the position to him?"

"It's just easy to pretend." Toby smiled and hugged Frank: "Besides, the dean can't satisfy me, only the principal can."

"That's really like what you would say." Frank laughed.

Alice also walked up to Toby and looked at him carefully.

"I didn't expect you to have lived until now." She said with a complicated expression, and hugged Toby.

After parting, Toby shook his head and said, "Then it's too early for you to say that. After being an archaeologist for so many years, I've heard enough of this sentence-can you give us some time?"

He told the therapist that the other person walked out of the ward quickly, obviously wanting to do this for a long time.

Then Neville also left under Frank's orders, telling him to meet Mrs. Longbottom on the first floor, even though it was still early in the afternoon.

There were only three people and a few abnormal patients left in the long-term ward.

Frank walked back to the hospital bed, and he took out the crystal ball from the crevice of the hospital bed. Now the water in it no longer rippling, and no longer set off waves, as if it had completely lost its vitality.

"It must be very precious to you."

He no longer pretended to be cheerful, but said in an extremely complicated tone like Alice: "I remember that when you were hiding in our house, you kept repeating the ideal of wanting to pursue ancient magic, but these magical things The liquid was consumed by us—”

"Stop talking, Frank." Toby handed the crystal ball back: "Just treat it as a gift for you, Christmas presents for so many years. Besides, I didn't discover nothing, according to the example of the two of you Look, maybe, there were wizards in the city of Loch Ness who needed to be healed from the effects of the Cruciatus Curse. I hope I'm wrong."

Alice looked at him sadly: "Then your guesses about ancient magic were also wrong? Sometimes, Frank and I hope that you are not so accurate, especially those things you said when you were a student -"

"Become a more powerful wizard than You-Know-Who and wipe out all the purebloods. You don't think so now, do you, Toby?"
