Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 146 Master
Four giant magazines nearly seven feet high soon appeared in the common rooms of various colleges. It took several students to work together to turn the heavy paper, but Professor Haimer seemed to have considered this long ago. The paper is large enough, and a lot of information can be published on only two sides, and it perfectly replaces the function of the bulletin board.

As for the logo on the cover, it is arranged in the upper left corner of the left page, occupying less than one-ninth of the page, but it is enough for students to see the combination of Toby with his back facing and Al facing him. The sign, with the name of the mega-magazine written underneath it - The Quibbler.

Likewise, the students had all read the first article on it - "Cedric Diggory: Me and the Self-Casting Wand".

【Mr Diggory, are you a vampire? 】

【.no. 】

[Then have you ever thought about becoming a vampire? 】

【.No.I said, why do you think I'm a vampire? 】

[Because your face is pale, whiter than the average person, just like the belly of a big-mouthed ball fish. Have you ever seen a big-mouthed ball fish? 】

[.Well, let’s talk about the auto-casting wand. It all started with the magic circle. Last year, I took the ancient magic course for the first time, which made me feel the potential of the magic circle. Huge, a lot of people overlook this, but I want to give Hufflepuff credit for making an autocast wand. 】

【"Hahaha." It was Professor Haimer who laughed out loud, and he was also at the scene of the interview. 】

【"Yeah, I still remember Mr. Diggory's swearing at that time, he didn't want Hufflepuff to be called an idiot, and he didn't want to be despised."】

【"Professor, I really didn't mention the word rice bucket"】

Gryffindor's Quidditch captain, Wood, finished the interview with a dazed Harry.

Today was the weekend, and Harry was forcibly woken up by Wood, intending to drag him to Quidditch training.

"Cedric Diggory"

Harry didn't know much about him, except for the self-casting wand thing, but never heard that he did it in Hufflepuff's honor.

"Is what he said true?" Harry asked curiously. "Is he really doing it for Hufflepuff's honor—?"

"This kid is really clever, huh?"

Wood suddenly interrupted, with a frenzied gleam in his eyes: "Strong competitor, don't relax, Harry, Cedric is a Hufflepuff Quidditch player, we have all seen his determination, Isn't he? He will definitely give his best in the game!"

Harry didn't understand why Wood would associate everything with Quidditch, but he thought it was better to shut up at this time, so he could only let Wood drag him into the common room with a helpless expression.

"Gryffindor must win! Harry, shout with me, Gryffindor must win!"

Harry had no choice but to reply weakly: "Gryffindor—ha—"

He accidentally yawned, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Wood staring at him with burning eyes.

Harry came back to his senses all of a sudden, the sleepy bugs were gone, and he said forcefully, "Gryffindor must win! We will definitely defeat Hufflepuff!"

Wood nodded with satisfaction, but he finally reminded: "It is to win this year's Quidditch Cup, we have this chance of winning."

At the same time, Toby in pajamas is sitting on the sofa in the office. He has just woken up. Al is also sitting on his shoulders with a nightcap on his shoulders. There is a small magazine similar to a giant magazine on the coffee table. , the two pages that were opened and displayed in the college common room were a shrunken master copy.

There was an additional package on the coffee table, which was the "Daily Prophet" just delivered by the owl this morning.

"Are you ready?" Toby said with a heavy face.

Al opened his eyes wide, looking menacing: "Ah!"

Toby stretched out his hands, and he flipped through the pages of the Daily Prophet. His trembling fingers showed his anxiety and uneasiness.

【Bestseller list:】

[1: "I Can Be Magical" - by Gilderoy Lockhart]

[2: "Journey of Giants" - by XXX·XXX]

[3: "The Escaped Fire Dragon" - by XXX·XXX]

Toby looked down patiently.

[49: "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" - Newt Scamander]

[50: "A Vampire's Monologue" - Amarillo Restoart]

Toby collapsed on the sofa with an "ah" sound, looking seriously injured.

Al read the list again in disbelief, and finally tore up the entire newspaper with his little paws angrily.

"Yeah! Yayah!"

"Stop it, Al, I would have changed the name if I knew it earlier, "Ancient Magic and Magic Circle", it sounds boring as hell, I have to make a new version of "The Quibbler" quickly, I can't waste any more time, Future sales will depend on it.”

"ah!"

"Oh, by the way, and the half-dead rooster has to be sent back to Hagrid, or it won't be enough by the end of the lesson."

"Yeah!"

"What? You mean Dumbledore? Don't worry, don't worry about him. I put the magazine in the common room anyway, even if he—"

"Even what?"

"Even—principal, why are you here?"

Toby was sitting on the sofa with his head upside down. In the blink of an eye, he saw Principal Dumbledore walking into the office upside down.

He quickly got up and sat down, and quietly exchanged a look with Al.

Dumbledore sat across from the two, and he said calmly: "Because I noticed that someone removed the bulletin board without permission, without even the minimum advance application. Let me think about who did this Thing—oh, it's you, Toby, I didn't know you were ready to start a paper secretly."

Dumbledore stared at Toby with a penetrating gaze, and Toby looked away, examining the crumbs on the floor, as he explained: "Newspaper? You mean The Quibbler? It's no big deal, Headmaster, The four copies in the school will be regarded as my donation, and there is no need to pay me any fees."

"I also hope that this is just your kindness." Dumbledore said, "Of course, I have no doubts about your motives for mastering the information channels of the college, and I don't need to worry about it, do I, Toby?"

"Oh, come on."

Toby suddenly became impatient, and he waved his hand and said, "You're planning to teach me again, but I'm already a professor at the school, why don't you see that you're bothering Severus all day long? You went to watch him How was he in class? No one likes him, I wonder why you haven't fired him yet."

"It seems that you are very dissatisfied with me, Toby." Snape suddenly walked into the office angrily. He seemed to have come by chance. After seeing Dumbledore, he was slightly puzzled, but he quickly accused : "Get that stupid magazine of yours out of the Slytherin common room! I will never allow anything under your control in my house!"

Toby frowned and stared at Snape: "Look at your strength, why didn't I see other deans come to see me—"

"Okay." He said suddenly, and handed the master copy on the coffee table to Dumbledore: "Then the headmaster controls the head office, right? You will keep this master copy from now on. Without your permission, no one will I can't publish anything in the four school magazines, and that includes the soon-to-be-revised edition of The Quibbler—what, don't you believe me? The other two masters are in Mr. Lovegood's and Long's The Bartons, this is the last one."

Dumbledore didn't reach out to take it, Snape's eyes changed, and he said coldly, "What are you thinking?"

"Ancient magic." Toby leaned back and casually pointed to the torn paper on the floor: "I just hope that more wizards will pay attention to ancient magic. I ignored this before and just Knowing about archaeology, it turns out that the auto-casting wand has not been spread too far, which is not acceptable."

"Oh?" Snape's mouth twisted, and he taunted, "Do you want to recruit believers in ancient magic through this method, recruiting only your own believers? It's like the things the Dark Lord does."

Toby squinted his eyes, and he stared at Snape closely: "It's not impossible, do you want to see it for yourself? Want to see how far I can go on the path of the mysterious man? Or are you going to be my As for the believers, Severus, I can give you the status of number one believer, which is no better than when you were a Death Eater."

Before the quarrel between the two became heated, Dumbledore suddenly took the master in his hands, and he took one last look at Toby.

"Would you like to speak to me alone?"

"No, principal, this is just a magazine promoting ancient magic, there is nothing to talk about."

"Okay. Time to go, Severus."

Dumbledore left with a twisted Snape.

Toby and Al stayed quietly for a while, with a thoughtful light flashing in his eyes.

Al looked left and right, and tested it again with the magic ball. After there was nothing unusual, he quietly opened his belly pocket and took a look inside——the fourth master, and the most important master Just stay in there.

"ah."

"Yeah, that should be all right. Even if he asks the Longbottoms himself, he can only get three master copies. No one knows that the fourth copy is with us."

"ah?"

"No, don't underestimate Dumbledore. He knows a lot of things and won't tell us why the Philosopher's Stone was destroyed, and he won't let me go to Nick Flamel in person. He probably knows that we are partnering to deceive him." But what can I do? Back in school, I couldn't do anything about those stupid purebloods, so I had to send them to the school hospital one by one. I don't want to do that, Al"

"I just had to be more Slytherin than Slytherin."
