Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 251 Harry's Boggart
They guessed right.

Toby has indeed been in situations where he needs to be rescued, and more than once.

Fortunately, both Al and Angela were present when exploring the temple, otherwise Toby might not have existed in the wizarding world.

Facing the curious eyes of the three people, Toby simply responded: "I can give you a hint, the humanoid devil, and the scepter I used in class, they were originally in the same ancient ruins Yes, but now they are forcibly separated."

Harry felt that he probably understood, he turned his head, and saw the same meaning in Hermione's eyes - that humanoid devil once had a scepter, that's why he put Professor Highmore in danger.Then he escaped with the help of Mr. Al and Professor Angela. The specific way is related to the patron saint——

Ok.

This confuses them even more.

That's fine with Professor Angela, but Mr. Al. Could it be that Mr. Al can also summon a patron saint?

This is the Patronus Charm, and not many wizards even know how to use this spell.

"Mr. Weasley." Toby called his name suddenly, "What are you thinking?"

This startled both Harry and Hermione. They saw Ron cautiously asking: "Professor, of course I am willing to help Harry. It is of course a good thing to learn the Patronus Charm. But... the devil is already here , do we still need to simulate the scene where it has the scepter?"

This question is very important.

That's right, they all guessed that Professor Highmore might have encountered the same danger as Harry, so they should go through it again completely.

"Interesting question."

This answer didn't make Harry feel interesting at all, but fortunately, Professor Highmore changed his tone later: "Considering your current abilities and the difficulties you will encounter if you want to reconquer the out-of-control devil, of course It’s better not to do this. So you can rest assured that I will not let go of the ban on the devil, and what you are facing is more armor—and me.”

"Yes." Toby smiled at the three with strange expressions and said, "Of course there is me, and not only that, but also your dear Professor Lupine."

Ok?
The three heard Professor Hammer continue to say: "I am in charge of teaching you more about the devil, and Professor Lupine is in charge of the patron saint - after you have learned a lot, you can find a way to summon Harry." The real devil has replaced the soul of You-Know-Who."

"Is the devil a spirit?" Harry asked.

"It's hard to say." Toby shook his head: "Knowledge about the soul is very complicated. Patronus, devil, Animagus, ghosts, maybe they can all be called a part of the soul, even your magic wand can be called a part of it." Included - unique, what we know so far is that each person's soul is unique, as for the true essence, it will take time to study."

It's like the material of a magic ball.

Toby added silently in his heart—these are all unique.

"Okay, kids."

He let the armor walk in front of him and said: "Next, watch carefully, not everyone has the opportunity to see the real devil, this is much more interesting than the rune snake that Harry summoned."

The scene that Harry saw next was something Harry couldn't describe. He thought it was no big deal, after all, he had already studied the devil, but he found that he still underestimated Professor Highmore.

It was also the first time he really understood the meaning of the devil.

"Harry, Harry, don't be dazed."

With Ron's reminder, Harry came back to his senses in a panic, and found that Professor Lupine was looking at him with a smile.

"It seems that I really can't compare with Toby, an old employee, which is really enviable. He only joined the company two years before me-can you tell me what you have learned in his class? "

It is now a few days later.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione came to Lupine's shabby office at the appointed time to receive guidance related to the Patronus.

"What's the matter?" Lupine looked at the three who were silent and asked, "Did Toby tell you to keep it a secret?"

"No, Professor." Hermione said first.

In fact, Professor Highmore did keep them secret about the Horcruxes, not allowing them to tell anyone, including Professor Lupine.

But that special class is not included.

"We." Hermione had a very strange expression on her face: "We saw the devil with our own eyes."

"Are you referring to Toby's teaching material in class?" Lupine said gently, "I've seen it too, and it's indeed even stranger than Boggarts."

But the behavior of the three of them was still a bit abnormal.

"I said—" Lupine frowned a little bit: "You're not seeing the silently transformed thing, are you?"

"It's more than that, Professor." Ron said with concern: "Professor Haimer has also become a devil. To this day, we can't be sure whether it is an illusion or not—I mean, we were deceived before." It's been a few times, but this time I can't be sure."

Lupine looked serious.

"Did he hurt you then?" he asked.

"That's not true." Hermione shook her head and said, "Professor Highmore looks much more stable than his classroom equipment, and even calmer than usual, which makes people panic-"

"Cold." Harry said abruptly, "Professor Highmore seems to have become very cold and indifferent. I really don't want to see that look in his eyes again."

Lupine was silent for a while, then he sighed and said, "Ancient magic, really—forget it, I think that's why he asked me for help, I must help you get out of this emotion as soon as possible— — Would you like a piece of chocolate?"

"I am willing." Ron muttered, his heart was still a little chilly, he really didn't want to recall the scene of dealing with the devil, which made him have nightmares for several nights in a row.

After eating chocolate, although the impression of horror didn't take away much, at least the atmosphere was not so heavy-especially Hermione, who couldn't wait to learn the Patronus Charm.

"But are you in good health?" She looked at Lupin's pale face and asked, compared with other professors, Lupine is considered poor, and his complexion has not been very good, it seems that he is a bit unwell Too normal, out of place at Hogwarts.

"It's been fine recently." Lupine said with a smile: "With the help of Professor Snape—oh, your expressions are really bad. Is there anything I don't know?"

"Snape." Ron recalled the incident of being in confinement, he said angrily: "Except for the Slytherin students, almost no one likes him."

Hermione quickly stopped Ron from continuing with her eyes. It is not a sensible move to belittle a professor in front of another professor.

"I see." Lupine looked at Ron, and then set his eyes on the unnatural Harry, who undoubtedly didn't like Snape either.

"Fortunately, Professor Highmore is here." Harry muttered softly, "Otherwise, what would have happened—did you know them all before?"

"Yes." Lupine looked Harry straight in the eyes and said, "I know them, since I was in school. You're not surprised that Toby was able to subdue Professor Snape, are you?"

"Of course." Ron began to yell again: "That's a devil, Professor Haimer has become a devil, how could there be someone he can't solve."

"I don't think the headmaster would agree with that."

Lupine didn't mean to criticize, but Ron's ears were still red.

"Let's start the lesson," he said. "Do you know what a Patronus is?"

"I know!" said Hermione, the first to raise her hand. "The Patronus is a positive force, an external expression of the things that dementors feed on—hope, happiness, the desire to live, and so on." The nemesis of dementors, Professor Haimer taught us this knowledge in the second grade, and there is one student who successfully summoned the Patronus, and he is the only one."

Lupine asked in surprise, "Who is it?"

"Luna Lovegood." Hermione said enviously: "She is really amazing. She was just a freshman at that time, and she beat all the students. Is this rare, Professor?"

"Of course it's rare." Lupine said with interest: "Did she learn the Patronus Charm in the ancient magic class? Toby also taught her?"

Hermione nodded vigorously.

"It's really amazing." Lupine sighed, and suddenly fell silent.

After exchanging glances, Harry asked suspiciously, "Professor?"

"Ah." Lupine came back to his senses and said: "I just remembered something, which has nothing to do with this class-now it's time to start the class, Patronus, can you tell me how Toby taught you? Is it? Let me have a comparison."

The three immediately went through the lessons of last semester, including the test of the flame ball, and the funny armor and skeleton later, which made the expression on Lupine's face a little weird.

"The style is striking," he commented. "I can't think of anyone else doing it except Toby. My course, though, might be somewhat similar to his."

Just at this moment, there was a banging sound from the cabinet in the corner of the office, and the three of them had already noticed that there was something in it.

"Is it a Boggart?"

Hermione took two rare steps on her hind legs, her eyes flustered, and Ron was too frightened to move.

They've all met their own Boggarts, Professor McGonagall who has failed the exam, and the big spider who scares them badly in class.

Only with curiosity written on Harry's face, he was not able to see the Boggart in front of him, and there was no Boggart in the class afterward, which made him depressed for a while— What could it be?Can the devil be used against it?
"You guessed right."

At this time, Lupine had already set his sights on Harry unabashedly, and he said: "I hope you can understand that it's not that I'm deliberately ignoring you, Harry, but that I don't want the mysterious man to appear in the classroom." Inside—very inopportune at this time."

"I don't think so." Harry said suddenly, and quickly added the title: "Professor, I mean, I don't think the Boggart who appeared in front of me will become a mysterious person, it can only be someone else what."

Ron and Hermione were staring at him, and Lupine shook his head and said, "You don't have to say that, and according to Toby's request, you don't really need to learn the Patronus Charm, Harry, but Ron and Hermione Min is more anxious than you. Besides, I also saw your devil on the train. Don't be surprised, it was all told to me by Toby, and it is really memorable, and I will never forget it."

Can't forget, of course, that runes that can drive away dementors are not common, especially the runes that look very much like the strangely stable Mulan, made of black glue paint smoke all over his body.

Harry can only listen to Professor Lupine, and the sequence of lessons for this tutoring has been arranged long ago-even with Professor Highmore, it is the same, Ron and Hermione don't need to learn how to summon the devil, they only need to I memorized everything that should be memorized, and Harry was the only one who really needed to deal with Professor Highmore.

The current class is just the other way around.

Harry sat alone in the corner of the office so as not to distract the Boggart.

Then he saw the picture of Ron standing motionless in front of the spider again, and he was completely frightened.Fortunately, Hermione performed well, at least she accurately uttered the spell to the angry Professor McGonagall, but it was a pity that she uttered "funny and funny" instead of "calling for protection".

"Okay, you all need to get some rest, right now."

After attending the class for a while, Lupine sent the two of them to sit in the corner of the office as well. They didn't seem to have much talent in this magic, and they never succeeded once.

At this moment, Harry suddenly heard Professor Lupine turn his head and say to himself: "Would you like to try it?"

Harry froze.

"Of course, professor!" He immediately stood up and said, "Even if you can't summon the Patronus, don't worry, there are still devils."

"That's not what I want to hear, Harry." Lupine said seriously: "Didn't Toby warn you not to summon devils casually, and you must never get caught up in the other side of ancient magic?" deeper."

"Professor Highmore has said these words." Harry's tone was a little weaker.

"That's right." He said: "In fact, I have been worried about this. Fortunately, after listening to your narration, let me know that Toby has not lost his mind, and he knows how to teach correctly. You guys. There is no doubt that the Patronus can resist the evil influence of the devil on you. So I thought, if there is time, it will not hurt to let you learn more. But you also have to remember, ha Lee, no matter what you encounter for a while, you can't summon the devil. I will help you block the Boggart at the critical moment."

Harry had no reason to refuse, and was somewhat grateful for Professor Lupine's kindness.

"Let's review it first, remember the spell?"

"Remember, professor, it's the call god guard."

"Very well, focus on the pleasant memories. I think this should not be difficult for you. It's time to test Toby's educational achievements. Are you ready?"

Lupine grabbed the lid of the cargo box, and when he got Harry's affirmative answer, he yanked it off.

The Boggart couldn't wait to get out, and it changed in the air, like a short whirlwind, and then in the blink of an eye, it turned into a person they both knew.

Not Voldemort.

Sirius rushed towards Harry like a desperado, his hair was messed up, exactly the same as the photo on the arrest warrant, and roared loudly: "Finally, I finally fooled those idiots, now it's your turn, haha Leigh Potter, go to hell with your parents!"

In front of his raised wand, Harry stood motionless, completely stunned.
