Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 154 Another Vanishing Cabinet
While waiting for Filch to return, Harry saw a purple envelope with some silver letters on it on the table.

【Quick chant】

【Introduction to Magic Correspondence Course】

Harry opened the envelope and looked at it. He found that it was a course for wizards to quickly learn spells, but why did it appear on Filch's desk? Does this mean that he is not a regular wizard?

Harry had just read "Lesson [-]: Hold Your Wand (A Few Useful Advice)" when there was the sound of tapping outside.Knowing that Filch was back, he hurriedly stuffed the parchment into the envelope and threw it back on the table.Just then, the door opened.

"I really can't get enough of it."

Filch looked like he had won a big victory, and he happily said to Mrs. Norris: "Peves finally suffered a lot. I hope he will never come back."

His eyes fell on Harry, and then he turned quickly to the envelope for the quick spell, and Harry realized it was two feet from where it had been before, but it was too late.

Immediately afterwards, after a series of exasperated questions, Harry could not believe his luck that he was allowed to leave, and he left the office quickly, walked down the corridor, and went upstairs.

"Harry! Harry! Does it work?"

Nearly Headless Nick flashes out of a classroom.Behind him, Harry saw a classroom in chaos, as if it had been through a war not too long ago.

"I persuaded Peeves to throw the cabinet on top of Filch's office," Nick said eagerly, "I think it might divert his attention—of course, it would have been easier if Highmore hadn't come. "

"So it was you?" Harry asked puzzled, "But what does this have to do with Professor Highmore?"

"Because he taught Peeves a lesson, and wanted to force him to find out the origin of the cabinet." Nick's figure was no longer so transparent: "I can only go to the bloody Barrow for help, and Hammer promised Barrow not to make things difficult again." Peeves, but needed it for an experiment and ended up taking him away."

"Oh." Harry didn't know how to react at all, he was surprised: "Is the bloody Barrow and Professor Highmore familiar?"

"It's not that familiar." Nick said, "It's just that they seem to be equally lonely, and they belong to the same academy. Back then, Haimo wanted to ask Barrow's cause of death, which made him curious."

Professor Highmore is really bold.

Harry thought silently in his heart, if it were him, he would definitely not be willing to take the initiative to contact the scary Barrow, and Nick alone was scary enough at the beginning.

But Nick helped Harry anyway, which made him grateful, and allowed him to see the envelope in Nick's hand again.

"May I know what that letter is?" Harry asked proactively, "Of course, it's fine if it's inconvenient. I just want to do you a favor. You seem to have something on your mind as well."

"Really?" Nick's reaction was unexpectedly agitated. He waved the letter, told about his rejection by the Headless Hunters, and invited Harry to attend his [-]th anniversary.

Harry blinked—the [-]th birthday?

He really didn't know whether to express sadness or happiness.

On the other side, in the Office of Ancient Magic.

Toby had brought back the broken disappearing cabinet, and Al tightened the rope tied to Peeves' body, and put a skull head on its head.

"very good."

Toby looked at Peeves whose mouth was sealed and said with satisfaction: "There is no more suitable test object than this one. If it wasn't because it's not easy to control, I really want to use him to try the Pharaoh's mask—but it's still worth it. Yes, the risk is too great, just to see where this disappearing cabinet leads, I hope it won't disappoint me."

He opened the cabinet door, nodded to Al to throw Peeves into the disappearing cabinet, and then closed the cabinet door immediately.

The two came to the sofa and sat down, staring at the other skull with four eyes, wanting to see if it would react—once the skull in the cabinet heard the movement, it would transmit it to this skull. On the skull.

Little by little, half an hour passed.

Al was bored wiping the pharaoh's mask, and Toby was also bored reading the latest "Wizard Weekly". No matter how he saw it, he was not satisfied, and he always felt that it was not as good as his upcoming revision of "The Quibbler".

"Honestly, I feel like we're going to make a lot of money with papers sooner or later."

"ah."

"I understand that the current investment is a bit too much, but if this method is not used, how can it be so easy for wizards to almost have a copy of "The Quibbler". No matter how popular the "Daily Prophet" is, it will never be so popular, believe me , Al, no matter how bad the result is, it’s just a loss of gold, and these magazines will play a big role.”

As soon as he heard this, Al was immediately dissatisfied. What he valued most was the gold, so he rushed towards Toby with all his teeth and claws, grabbed his hair and pulled it.

"It hurts! It hurts! Shhh!"

The two stopped their movements almost at the same time, Toby remained motionless, and Al was hanging on Toby's neck. They all looked at the skull on the coffee table, and watched as its mouth opened and closed, making a greasy tone , sounds familiar——

"Mr Malfoy, it's a pleasure to see you again—"

"Okay, Bojin, I'm here to continue the last transaction, you should be clear - it's the interrupted transaction."

Toby immediately sat up from the sofa, quickly walked to the disappearing cabinet, and opened the door.

Peeves, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't wait to fly out of the closet. He threw the skull away, didn't even dare to say obscene words, went straight into the wall, and ran away in a hurry.

Toby didn't care about the escaped Peeves. He stared at the empty disappearing cabinet and frowned. The skulls on the coffee table stopped talking. become more serious.

"Borgin-Bock Store" Toby murmured: "The paired disappearing cabinet is in the Borgin-Bock Store, Lucius must be planning to sell his prohibited items again, it seems that Arthur is promoting "Muggle Protection" The progress of the Law is getting faster and faster.”

Al floated over on the flying carpet. It looked up and down the disappearing cabinet for a while, blinked its eyes and said "Yeah", as if asking Toby what he planned to do.

"Of course we have to find a way to repair it." Toby said, and couldn't help showing a smug smile: "It shouldn't be difficult. It's similar to restoring the two skeleton frames. It requires a transformation spell. When the repair is completed, we will have As for Bojin, he poses no threat to us, we can buy another disappearing cabinet at any time, or leave it alone, even if it is secretly changed, he may not be able to find out."

"ah?"

"You ask me what is the use of this secret path? It's hard to say now, but sooner or later, you will see it with your own eyes."
