Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 192 Shrewd, Silent, Clue, No.1 Student

Even in Toby's original assumption, the course content of the second year will be more complicated and tortuous.

Because ritual magic and magic circle are two completely different kinds of magic.

The most obvious example is that Toby often brought the magic ball with him, but not only did he not dare to let Angela control the white scepter, even he hardly knew how to use it himself.

This is precisely because of the dangers of ritual magic - in the process of using a wand, saying the wrong spell may cast the wrong magic.But in ritual magic, sometimes not reciting spells may lead to dangerous consequences, which are more unpredictable than silent spells and wandless magic.

In contrast, the magic circle is much safer - at least a similar pattern of the magic circle must be engraved before the magic can be truly cast.

That's why Toby said that ritual magic is chaotic, while magic circle is more logical.

Before the third-year class begins, Toby makes sure that the students make a safe transition from logical to illogical.It is a good test to appease the flame bludgers flying around. It can make students calm down and think. It is the best example of imitating Moran.

Yes, silently.

It was hard for Toby to imagine how much of the wizarding world existed silently before Hogwarts was founded.

But there is no doubt that ritual magic can affect Mo Ran.

Because Toby had seen this scene with his own eyes, right in the temple where the scepter came from.

That was also an experience he and Angela had shared in their adventures.

If you talk about it carefully, this is also related to Toby's delay in imparting ritual magic.As long as the students are older, it is more difficult for them to become silent.

Of course, there is no need to tell the students such things, so as not to increase their burden.

But Toby attaches great importance to his course, and he must ensure that there will be no students who fail, so that he can be the new principal smoothly.But the difficulty of the test will not be reduced because of this, so even though he asked the students to decide whether to stay or not in the first class after the change, he expanded the scope of the classroom to the entire school, no matter who they meet A few words of "kindness".

"Neville Longbottom, have you figured out how to pass the exam?"

"I've made up my mind, Professor!" Neville said confidently, "I plan to make more items similar to memory balls, and then knock down all those Bludgers!"

"Very good." A "friendly" smile appeared on the face behind the black mist: "Come with me, I have prepared some Bludgers in advance, and you can try your method now."

Neville thought it was because of his parents that he received special care. He joyfully came to the flying flame balls, and just wanted to control the memory balls to charge towards them, but he watched those flame balls disperse all of a sudden, and then restarted. Gathered together, a series of hits hit his chest, hitting him and flying backwards in the air.

How can this fight back? !

Neville, who was sent to the school hospital, couldn't understand this.

"Draco Malfoy, have you figured out how to pass the exam?"

Draco knew that Professor Highmore was responsible for the Lucius case, he wanted to resist, but he didn't dare to reveal it, so he could only reply: "No, Professor!"

"Very good." The smile behind the black mist became more and more "kind": "Come with me, I admire your courageous but lacking courage, and see if you can pass the exam smoothly!"

Draco's screams spread throughout the corridor, but none of the students dared to stop Professor Highmore who was pulling him hard.Snape did show up once, but after Toby's impassioned "Follow me", he immediately turned around and left without hesitation for a moment.

Draco's bed was allocated next to Neville's, and he noticed that he had been assigned beds sequentially, and there were plenty of vacancies on the other side.

It didn't take long for Crabbe and Gore to become his patients.

The three of them were speechless. They really wanted to use the excuse of taking revenge, but even Neville was here, so this kind of reason was obviously untenable.

"Harry Potter, have you figured out how to pass the exam?"

Harry had just witnessed Professor Highmore drag the howling Crabbe and Goyle away with each hand.

"Uh, do you have to start the exam now, Professor? It's not long before the exam is assigned." Harry asked hesitantly.

A powerful voice came from under the hood: "Very good, follow me!"

"No, no, professor, I thought of it!" Harry said quickly, "Special training! Yes! It's special training! I'm going to use a magic circle to make a fireproof blanket, so that I can suppress those flame balls through flying skills Already!"

This is the most reliable method that Harry can think of. He has already tried the power of those Bludgers in special training, and now there are just more flames. As long as he is resistant enough, he should be able to catch them all one by one. .

He saw Professor Haimer nodded in agreement, which made him silently relieved.

"Where's the fire blanket?" Toby asked.

"I'm afraid we'll have to wait for a while." Harry said cautiously.

"Don't wait any longer!" Toby waved his hand and said, "Just use dragon skin! I can lend you a dragon skin cloak, which is also fireproof!"

Harry had heard similar arguments before - it was just too bad!
He immediately cast a look of help to Ron and Hermione, but the two turned their heads away in unison, almost whistling.

"Oh? Are you ready too? Then come with me!"

This time, the screaming people turned into a trio, and Hermione knew how to beg in a low voice, but Ron simply wailed regardless: "Help! Help me! Percy! Percy! I'm your brother! Dear brother!"

"Percy Weasley?!" Toby turned his head and saw Percy who was curiously approaching: "Sixth grade students, originally planned to spend a few days, but it's okay, come with us!"

So Percy was dragged away abruptly.

The students who were planning to leave stopped one after another, looking around blankly.

"Sixth grade students?"

"How many days did you plan to spend?"

"Professor Haimer is going to clean up all the students?!"

After being brought in front of the flame ball, Harry wore a whole set of dragon skin cloaks. He nervously stepped on the Nimbus 2001 he had ridden during special training, and flew into the air under the enthusiastic gazes of the other three.

But when he first came into contact with the flame ball, he found that it was not the same thing as special training—they seemed to have become conscious, knowing to evade his pursuit in groups, obviously not as fast as the Golden Snitch, but they wanted to Much more torturous than that, always getting away with it.

Harry was dizzy from the scorching flames, and he rushed straight towards the huddled ball of flames regardless. Hermione's screams and Ron's gasping for air rang in his ears.

He didn't know what was wrong, he only saw the ceiling turned upside down, his chest and head hurt so badly, he felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to retch.

After the flame ball that hit him flew back to its original position, Professor Haimer's voice sounded again: "I tell you good news, these Bludgers are all equipped with a magic circle that will not cause injury, and will only make you slightly injured. In other words, Mr. Potter, you wearing the dragon hide cloak have not suffered any injuries. Stand up, Mr. Potter, keep working hard, you are very close to passing the test just now!"

Harry coughed dryly and turned over. He wanted to refuse, but Professor Highmore forcibly pushed him onto the broom and slapped the broom's tail, sending him into the air again.

With the flame ball hitting the thin figure continuously, Toby turned and looked at the other three, and a smiling voice came from under the hood.

"You can guess how long Mr. Potter can last. By the way, when he is done, the rest will be your turn."

Percy looked around and fixed his gaze on Ron for a while.

Ron could only turn his head to Hermione's side.

Hermione opened her mouth wide and asked, "Is this punishment, Professor?"

Toby didn't deny Hermione's claims.

"That's right, Miss Granger. But to be precise, this is a punishment for not being smart enough for all the students. Then you will have to pay the price with pain."

Harry was sent to the school hospital because of lack of energy. He did not suffer any superficial injuries, but this increased the number of times he took the exams and made him feel in a trance.

When he recovered, he was already in the school hospital.

"Harry?"

On the far side, Neville stood up with an afro on his head. He asked curiously, "Why didn't you get burned black?"

Draco, who was lying in the middle, stared at the ceiling and sneered: "Is there any need to ask, of course it's because he was frightened terribly, and he was frightened and passed out without even taking the exam, what a waste."

Crabbe and Goyle laughed heartily.

"Shut up! Malfoy!" Neville scolded angrily, "Your yelling has already reached the school hospital, so you have the guts to say someone else!"

Just when Malfoy was about to retort, Harry suddenly said, "It's because of the dragonhide cloak. You can apply for a dragonhide cloak before taking the exam, so you won't get burned."

Draco immediately stopped talking, and he stopped Crabbe and Goyle, who were about to giggle, with his eyes, and told them to hold back the disguised reminder, planning to apply for a look at the next exam.

Harry had revealed this news on purpose, and he couldn't wait to see Draco forced to take multiple exams.

Smart seems to be quite useful.

In the following time, Ron, Hermione, and Percy were all sent to the school hospital in disgrace.Not only them, but all the second-year students were sent in.

The original beds were not enough, but Professor Haimo seemed to have anticipated this a long time ago. He minimized the damage of breaking through the level, and only needed to treat a little bit of burns for the students, and at most he added a spoonful of tranquilizer , reduce their psychological shadow.

In the end, almost all the students were discharged from the hospital in less than half an hour.Harry also heard Hermione quietly begging Madam Pomfrey to straighten her burned hair, but Madam Pomfrey kicked her out of the hospital hospital when she refused.

Percy blocked Ron at the door, pointed at him fiercely, and was too angry to speak.

"You'll experience it sooner or later anyway." Ron muttered softly.

Percy turned angrily.Harry breathed a sigh of relief silently, he thought Percy was going to deduct points from Ron.

The trio left the school hospital in silence. They walked in silence for a long time, and then Hermione suddenly asked in a low voice, "How many times will the similar mandatory exams continue?"

Ron blinked and said, "How many times? Isn't it just this time?"

Harry and Hermione shook their heads simultaneously.

He said sadly: "How can it be so simple. I really think this will continue until the exam week, maybe it will be bounded by the holidays."

"Until then, we're likely to have to make compulsory exams every week."

Regardless of whether Harry's guess is wrong or right, they have seen Professor Highmore treat them equally.

Sure enough, not only the second-grade students, but also the third-grade students were sent to the school hospital the next day.

Next came the fourth grade, the fifth grade. The students who were about to graduate until the seventh grade did not escape Professor Haimer's clutches.

They finally realized that the terrible black devil really came back.

There was also a small episode here, that is, the Weasley twins boldly asked Professor Highmore a question.

The content of the question is roughly what would happen if two students passed the first level in the same way?
Ron judged on the spot that they were confused about selling multi-flavored juices, and in his heart he was thinking of selling the method after successfully passing the level, and taking this opportunity to make a fortune.

But the result was beyond everyone's expectations.

The Gryffindor common room was packed with students, all staring at the Weasley twins in a state of shock.

After a while, Ron asked in a sharp voice: "Are you serious? Professor Haimer really agreed?!"

"Yes." Fred said with a smile on his face: "Professor Haimer said that as long as we figured out a way to pass the first level, it's up to us to decide whether to share this way with others. That is to say, the first level A successful person will really have a chance to make a lot of money."

George answered with a look of longing: "We have decided to try our best to accomplish this before the curfew. This is one of the few opportunities, and Professor Haimer is willing to make an exception!"

The news quickly spread throughout Hogwarts, and the students in the four colleges all knew about this.Some of them had the same idea as the twins, they would go to the ancient magic classroom whenever they had time, and more people were eagerly waiting for the opportunity to get news.As for other wealthy students, rewards have already begun.

"Look at it." Toby said proudly to Snape during a dinner: "Look at what a qualified professor is, and let students take the initiative to learn their own courses. And look at you, tsk tsk. Seriously , I don't mind starting as the head of Slytherin, it depends on when you plan to give up your position."

Al held up a finger in disdain and shook it left and right. Professor Flitwick couldn't help laughing, and immediately covered his mouth, and glanced at Snape whose cheeks were trembling from the corner of his eye.

The spoon bent a little bit in his hand, bursting out with fierce sparks.

After that, the students didn't see Professor Snape at dinner until the holidays.

Another small episode happened during this period. The twin brothers suddenly came up with an idea. They saw this potential market and began to sell white fresh essence to the students who kept taking the exam, so as to earn the difference. Made a small fortune.

But their idea of ​​making a fortune was still in vain.

Just two weeks after the exam content was announced, Toby and Al, who had just returned to the office, were suddenly approached by the armor.

"What's the matter?" Toby was about to change into his pajamas, and Al had already put on his nightcap.

The armor silently unfolded a piece of parchment, which was the list of students who had passed the exam that Toby had ordered in advance.

Now the first name appeared on the blank paper, but it was a student who didn't have to take the senior exam——

Luna Lovegood.

After a while, Toby, who hurried to the classroom, saw Luna, who was standing in the quiet ball of flames, seemingly unharmed.

"I like your nightcap." Luna said, pointing to the top of Al's head.

Al laughed twice, looking a little embarrassed.

"Ahem." Toby cleared his throat, and he saw that Luna was still holding Pandora's notebook in her arms.

"I am very honored to announce, Miss Luna Lovegood, you are the No.1 student who passed the exam and succeeded in doing things that you didn't need to do, at least you didn't have to think about them in the first grade."

"What I want to ask you is, is this Pandora's idea? Don't get me wrong, it won't affect your final grade—well, I haven't figured out how to give you a grade yet, maybe I can give you The college will give you extra points, and you will be exempted from the second-year exam."

Luna looked down at the notebook in her arms, she shook her head and said, "No, professor, I haven't told my mother about it yet, I want to give her a surprise."

"So you did it on your own?" Toby asked.

Luna nodded and said, "Yes, professor. I just think the example you gave is obvious—silence. But I haven't understood the point of shrewdness yet."

"Ah." Toby waved his hand and said, "Smartness is a hint for other people to use. It's a pity that they are too stupid to ignore such obvious clues. Yes, silently, even if they are willing to spend more time and less information. What, it is estimated that the progress will not be so slow. Of course, there is another clue-to appease Momo. If they are willing to think about it-forget it, let’s not mention them, I have a question for you now. Regardless Anyway, it's a small miracle."

"Just ask, Professor." Luna said obediently.

Toby nodded in relief, and then asked: "Then—"

"Have you successfully summoned your own patron saint?"
