Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 187 Special Training Lockhart

Only a few people know about Toby's true face during school (lawlessness, breaking rules, teaching students who want to bully him, secretly studying ancient magic), and even most of the professors have been deceived by him .

Well, not most professors actually.In fact, no professor other than Headmaster Dumbledore knew that Toby was such a student.

Autistic, studying magic hard, being discriminated against, not saying a word in class, and having excellent grades, this is the little Toby in the eyes of the professors.

In fact, this is true, because Toby was like this when he first entered school, and it was not changed until later.

It's just that he didn't notify others.

Therefore, in the eyes of many students, Toby also looked pitiful, and the first to know were Lily and Snape.

As for the others, at most there were only four of them, the Predator.

Speaking carefully, this is also related to Toby's plan to kill Petunia.

All in all, Lockhart was an exception.

He is a low-grade student, four grades younger than Toby, but when he first entered school, he was a complete egomaniac, thinking that he was the most special person.

There was no intersection between the two, except for this sneak peek, which allowed Lockhart to clearly recognize Toby's true face.

"Could it be that I killed him?"

Toby couldn't help but wonder.

If Lockhart was really a liar, where else could he have learned to be bad?

Professors don't teach courses like this.

All possibilities seemed to be focused on Toby.

After all, in Lockhart's eyes, Toby was just a model student, and he would hardly be bullied by anyone in the seventh grade, because he had already taught all the students who should be taught a lesson, and only Here are the few guys who don't have long eyes.

Thinking that such an excellent student is actually such an evil wizard behind his back, no matter how he thinks about it, it will have a great impact on Lockhart.

And from all indications, Lockhart didn't tell anyone these things, but kept the secret deep in his heart.

This may be suspected of being worried about being retaliated by Toby, but in any case, it can be regarded as doing Toby a small favor and preventing him from being exposed.

Plus it was Toby who decided to recruit Lockhart to Hogwarts in the first place—

"So, I think it is necessary for me to help him. As long as he is specially trained to the strength he should have in those works, it is not too late."

Facing Toby's report, Dumbledore, who was sitting behind the desk, fell into deep thought.

When did the whole thing go wrong?

After a short silence, Dumbledore said, "I thought you would say that as long as Lockhart is willing to admit his mistake, it's not too late."

"How can that work." Toby immediately retorted: "If he admits his mistakes, then I have to expose all the things I did when I was in school. No reader will like this kind of story, for a book Bad for bestsellers.”

"Bestseller?" Dumbledore felt that he had grasped the key to the question: "What bestseller?"

"Of course it is a bestseller related to ancient magic." Toby said excitedly: "I finally figured this out. Ancient magic doesn't have to be carried forward by me, it can also be other people, such as Lockhart. , he has enough experience to do it."

Dumbledore felt that the situation was getting worse: "You want to teach Lockhart ancient magic?"

"Not only that." Toby said: "And it must be shocking enough so that Lockhart can feel the charm of ancient magic."

"But did you ever think that he would refuse?"

"Of course I've thought about it, but I'll give him an undeniable condition. It's like he once secretly saw the scene of me teaching other students, just do it again in this way."

At this time, another person in the office, Snape suddenly sneered twice: "When you face Quirrell, you don't think so."

Toby turned the hood to him, and said in a pointed tone: "That's because Quirrell's biggest mistake was taking refuge in the mysterious man."

Snape's face suddenly turned livid.

Toby went on to say in an understatement tone: "And it's your fault, Severus. We didn't see each other very much when we were in seventh grade, let alone Lily. Before that, she Don't want to talk to me again. If you could help, like look at the door or something, this stupid mistake wouldn't have happened. And there would have been a chance to correct Lockhart beforehand."

"Why should I help you?" Snape sarcastically said, "I'm doing you a favor if I don't report you."

Toby was silent for a while, got up and left, leaving only a sigh.

"So it's too late to say everything, and it's too late to say anything."

After the door closed, Dumbledore looked at Snape and said, "We can actually tell Toby the truth if you want."

"No!" Snape became even angrier than before.

"There will never be such a possibility!"

When Lockhart woke up, he saw Toby standing by the bed, the black mist under the hood staring at him intently, and Lockhart shivered subconsciously in fright.

"I know everything." Toby said in a clear tone.

Lockhart suddenly became even more panicked, and he asked anxiously, "I know. What do you know?"

"I know you have great potential." Toby said vaguely, "But before that, I have a question for you."

This seems irrefutable.

"what is the problem?"

"Why did you throw away Tom Riddle's notebook?"

"Do you need to ask?" Lockhart said quickly: "It is obviously a thinking notebook, and I can't see where its brain is. It is undoubtedly full of danger—no, how did you Know about this?"

Toby stared at Lockhart silently for a while, as if to judge the accuracy of this answer.

He didn't answer, but said directly: "Come with me."

This order was even more forbidding than the previous question, because Al was standing at the head of the bed with a small shovel, looking like he wanted to make Lockhart look good if he didn't obey.

They came to the special classroom of ancient magic together, and continued to walk deeper into the tunnel. Lockhart faintly felt that his condition seemed to be getting worse—he first saw a huge basilisk shedding its skin, and then saw To the unconscious Skeeter and Goofy, and finally the basilisk with half its head blown off.

When he appeared in the Chamber of Secrets, Lockhart's mind had gone blank.

"Am I still awake?" He asked confusedly.

"No, you're more awake than ever." Toby said, taking Lockhart on a tour of the basilisk and the unconscious duo, pointing at them and saying, "Take a good look, they'll be you Disobedient end."

"What exactly is it?" Lockhart asked frightenedly: "Half of his head was destroyed? Or he passed out completely?"

"It depends on your comprehension ability. And this is your best end."

Toby looked at Lockhart. He suddenly dispersed the black mist under the hood, revealing a terrifying mask. Lockhart's pupils grew bigger and his face was full of panic.

"See clearly?" Toby said, "I know what trick you're trying to play, but I have to warn you that it's useless to me."

"Give you."

Lockhart reached out and took the book that Toby handed over - "Ancient Magic and Magic Circle".

Immediately afterwards, Toby's voice continued to sound: "You should be glad you met me, because I have always been generous. I will not only forgive your sins, but also give you an adventure created by you —that is, the molted skin of the basilisk.”

"Hurry up to learn the magic circle and see what you can do with it. After the results come out smoothly, write a few articles, or a bestseller or something. At that time, you will not only get my forgiveness, but also Have respect."

"If it goes more smoothly, maybe you will become the first Defense Against the Dark Arts professor whose tenure lasts for more than one year."

Lockhart returned to the office with a buzzing mind, his mind was full of Professor Haimer's "exhortation".

Of course, that sounded more like a threat, and even the missing duo and the basilisk showed it to themselves.

What on earth did he know?

Lockhart's heart was filled with fear and confusion about the future.

It seems that he has become Haimer's subordinate?
