Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 249 Horcrux and Be Careful

Transfiguration is amazing, but it can't turn an adult into a child through and through, especially now that it's not known whether Voldemort's state is considered human.

"name."

"Harry Potter."

"age."

"13 years old—professor, I—"

"Don't interrupt, sit still."

Toby sat behind the desk, his eyes fixed on the little Harry opposite, and Harry couldn't help but want to hide from that gaze.

Until now, he didn't know what happened.

Just now, Professor Highmore suddenly appeared at the entrance of the Gryffindor common room, and then asked Hermione and Ron to take Hedwig away. Those who should participate in the rehearsal went to the rehearsal. As for Harry himself, he was immediately dismissed. Call to the Office of Ancient Magic.

Afterwards, Professor Highmore thought about it for a while, then suddenly left, leaving Harry alone in the office, but he came back not long after, and then it became a series of interrogations.

"The devil." Toby remembered what made Harry feel wrong, and he said, "Call out your devil."

Oh?
Even though he didn't understand, Harry complied.

Playing the Parseltongue, the clarinet spewed out streams of black smoke, and a rune snake with three heads gradually took shape, and the snake's letter leaked out.

"Do you still remember the characteristics of the rune snake?" Toby asked as if he was in class.

"Remember, professor." Harry said the special features of the rune snake: "The head on the left is the planner, who will decide where the snake will go and what it will do in the future. The one in the middle is the fantasist, who is a little whimsical It means that the one on the right is the critic, its teeth are highly poisonous, and it will often quarrel with the other two heads, and sometimes it will be bitten off by them jointly, resulting in the rune snake's lifespan not being long."

"You're right, Harry." Toby whispered, pointing to the head with fangs: "See the lightning scar on its head?"

Of course Harry saw it clearly, because this was the only head with a lightning scar, and even the scar looked exactly like his own.

What Professor Highmore said next startled him.

"At first, I was still wondering why there was only one scar on my head, but I didn't realize it until today. This should be left on purpose by the mysterious man—out of control, and your out of control a while ago, that is also the mysterious man Your soul is affecting you."

"In other words, now you can be called the heir of the Dark Lord."

Harry's mouth fell open and he didn't move.

Ignoring Harry's reaction, Toby continued, "I know it's hard to accept, but, if I have to say it, I think I can help you."

"What is it, Professor?" Harry asked hastily, afraid to lose even the slightest hope.

But what would Professor Highmore do?What is Voldemort's soul inside my body?

Harry was surprised to see a smile on Professor Highmore's face, and he really didn't know why the professor could still smile at this time.

"First of all, we have to clarify some clues." Toby said: "Soul. About the soul, this is a clue I got from Barrow. It's a very interesting clue-what is reflected in you is the mystery Somehow man hid a part of his soul in your body. In fact, we can think more maliciously, maybe Voldemort will be resurrected in your body one day - of course, no one wants to see until something like this happens.”

Fear and anger filled Harry's mind, and there was absolutely no way he would allow such a thing to happen.

"So, we now have two approaches."

Seeing Professor Highmore's relaxed look, Harry gradually became full of confidence - there were actually two of them.

"The first and safest method is to find a way to block all influences from the mysterious person, including the devil's, and more unexpected situations that may be encountered in the future. This method requires you to learn the Occlumency Technique first , but I want to remind you that this magic is not at all easier than summoning the devil, and we can roughly understand it now-I hate to say it, Harry, but maybe you can successfully summon the devil because Voldemort soul, he is the wizard who knows the dark arts best."

"In other words, this method has no prospect. And you have to wait until you learn Occlumency before you can continue to deal with the soul in your body that doesn't belong to you, which is very time-consuming."

"What about the second method, Professor?" Harry simply abandoned the first method. He certainly didn't want to wake up one morning and find himself turned into Voldemort.

"The second method is much easier." Toby smiled confidently: "I am not a person who is used to sitting still, that part of the soul is the malice left by the mysterious person, but it is also his flaw, as long as we seize it If you study it over time, you will be able to find out the location of the mysterious person—as for the rest, how to solve this problem, isn’t it already before our eyes.”

Toby moved his eyes to Harry's side, and Harry looked at his own devil, the three-headed rune snake.

The head with the scar felt the maliciousness in Toby's gaze, and hissed.

Harry didn't hesitate long before deciding, "I'll follow your advice, Professor, use the second method!"

"Very good." Toby said with satisfaction: "Well, you don't want to go to Severus' confinement in the future, and save the time for me. I assure you, Harry, the mysterious man will not escape of."

After Harry left, Toby sat alone for a long time.

灵魂
He looked at the two skeletons in the corner, and the one that had turned into Black's body was still in the Ministry, and would only appear in the theater program when the celebration officially began.

"Do you also have souls?" He murmured, "But why did you become like this, even more stupid than a mummy? Is this also the price of eternal life?"

"Eh?"

Toby suddenly looked left and right, with confusion in his eyes.

"Did I forget something?"

In the abandoned bathroom on the second floor, Myrtle's frightened voice sounded from one of the cubicles: "W-you-when are you leaving?"

Bloody Barrow stood at the door, staring straight and motionless.

"When Toby comes back to me, I'll go."

Both Toby and Al had forgotten about Barrow.

Early the next morning, Toby was woken up in his sleep.

"ah--!"

This is not called out by Al, but someone is trapped in the office area outside the door - how could Toby not set a trap in the sleeping place, the first rule of archeology - always be vigilant.

He rolled over and didn't wake up.

Not long after, a second voice sounded again.

"Toby, I'm here to—"

No movement.

Sounds like Snape.

Al rubbed his eyes, and asked in a daze, "Yeah?"

"Don't worry about him," Toby said half asleep.

The third voice was closer than ever, as if it was right next to Toby's ear.

"Time to get up, Toby."

Toby turned over and sat up suddenly, and Dumbledore was standing at the end of the bed watching him.

"Principal?" Toby asked in surprise, "Why are you here? Hey, how did you escape?"

"You mean the Potion of Living Hell?" Dumbledore pointed to the potion mist wrapped in bubbles and said, "It's a very interesting trap. Both Myrtle and Severus fell into it. Besides, you Could it be that you hid so many potions in advance to prevent getting out of control? I heard Severus say that it was just an illusion you put on, is this true?"

"Is there such a thing?" Toby asked in confusion: "How could Myrtle be outside—oh, bad, I forgot about Barrow."

"He has gone back." Dumbledore's blue eyes flickered: "He waited for you all night last night, and I did the same. I didn't sleep all night."

The principal's tone didn't sound very friendly.

Al quietly covered his face with the quilt, not daring to get up.

"You too?" Toby asked incomprehensibly, "Didn't I look for you once? Then what are you waiting for me?"

"Of course I wanted to hear what you did to Harry." Dumbledore stared straight at him and said, "You didn't do anything to that child, did you?"

Toby felt a deep mistrust in Dumbledore's gaze.

"What are you talking about!" He jumped up from the bed and protested, "What can I do with him, should I kill him, or put him in prison for the rest of his life? Is that how you see me? Forrest, why did Severus come to me, do you trust him more than I do?"

Dumbledore said calmly: "I can't ignore it, you just said last night that Harry is Voldemort's heir."

"It's two different things." Toby waved his hand impatiently: "It doesn't mean anything, and Harry can't possibly agree to it. How could he surrender to the murderer who killed his parents?"

Dumbledore was obviously relieved. It seemed that he really didn't sleep all night last night, only worried that Toby would do something irrational.

"That's how you planned?" He asked with interest.

"It's very simple." Toby said mysteriously: "Find the You-Know-Who through Harry first, and it would be even better if he can replace the You-Know-Who—"

"Wait a minute." Dumbledore straightened his face almost instantly: "What does it mean to replace Voldemort?"

"Soul." Toby smiled, "I finally know what Voldemort's secret is, Headmaster—what happened to Harry is unbelievable, but it's not without a clue—the Horcruxes, the mysterious man has created more than one A Horcrux, and it looks like Harry has become his Horcrux too."

This time, Toby saw deep surprise in Dumbledore's eyes.

"How did you?" He looked at Toby and asked, "How did you know about Horcruxes?"

It wasn't until last night that Dumbledore became more suspicious of this.

But long before that, even before Toby entered school, Dumbledore noticed that Tom Riddle had looked up some very evil books - such as "Secrets of the Dark Arts", which is mentioned in the book horcruxes.

Dumbledore later took the book away from the library, unwilling to let any student have access to it.

"It's a long story." Toby said proudly, "Do you still remember a joint expedition between me and Angela? It was the one that happened in the African temple. It's amazing, I found some and The clues about the despicable Haibo, he must have been to that temple, but failed, failed to break into the depths, not as powerful as me-of course, he was a wizard thousands of years ago, and many of the current spells I haven’t seen it before, and it’s normal if I can’t do it.”

"All in all, after that archaeological investigation, I specifically checked some records related to Hai Erbo, and found that he was actually the dark wizard who created the basilisk and the Horcrux, and he might also be the first Parseltongue in history—other than that There are relatively few materials that can be consulted outside, and I don’t know if his immortality is successful. But I probably know something about Horcruxes—whether it is murder or other things, such as the ritual process, it is very consistent with the mysterious person The - Myrtle's death further proves this, very close to the time when the diary was created."

"So, Harry should be one of the Horcruxes created by the mysterious man, but I don't think he did it on purpose, it should be an accident——accidentally made Harry his heir, such as the snake The Parseltongue, I can figure it out—it was the mysterious man who passed on the ability of Parseltongue to Harry. So, can Harry learn more things as well?"

"In the end, really let him completely replace the mysterious man?"

"soul."

Toby kept talking, and getting more and more excited, which he had come up with last night: "The key is still in the soul. I have to go to Barrow, Headmaster, to find out about Ravenclaw The specific research content with Slytherin, that will definitely help this matter."

As he spoke, he was about to run out of the bedroom, but was held tightly by a powerful hand. Toby didn't expect that Dumbledore was as strong as his age.

"Principal?" he asked over his shoulder.

"And then?" Dumbledore said, looking into Toby's eyes, "What are you going to make Harry become, the next Dark Lord?"

"How can such a good thing be cheap for him?" Toby suddenly became excited: "No matter what, the mysterious man is very advanced in black magic, and he has to leave it to me in the end. Let me do it well." Research to see if there is any place that can help analyze ancient magic—even more so for the Dark Lord, if there is a Dark Devil, there is no place for the Dark Lord.”

Dumbledore seemed to have become a lot more relieved, even if the remarks didn't sound very good.

But compared to what he did when he was young, it was already pretty good.

"Go on to sleep." Dumbledore said with a smile, "Leave me the meeting with Barrow, and I will try to find out the content of those studies."

Toby asked with strange eyes: "It's you again? Helena, and Barrow, you took away the opportunity to see them? You won't take away my ancient magic research in the future, right?"

"Someone is already doing this." Dumbledore said, "Be careful of Grindelwald, be careful of him. Didn't you just ask me why I trust Severus more? Because I know, he must not Will go to Gellert."

Toby curled his lips: "It's as if I would do this."

"No." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "I know very well what you will do - you think you can use Grindelwald to study ancient magic, but as soon as you have this idea, you have already fallen into his trap. "

He repeated again: "Remember, be careful Grindelwald."

Under Dumbledore's motionless gaze, Toby nodded reluctantly.
