Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 260 Lupine's Divination

Harry and Cedric's method worked. A ball of flames couldn't take care of two people's pincer attack. With a little skill, one man was able to guard the goal and one man attracted them, which was very efficient.

Of course, it would be hard to say if there was one more, but fortunately, the kind-hearted Professor Haimo did not continue to increase the difficulty, and encouraged them deliberately after they fell from the sky covered in sweat.

"You guys did a great job, both Gryffindor and Hufflepuff got ten points for that."

Harry wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he and Cedric looked at each other. At this time, the two seemed to be quite in harmony, and he also saw thoughts similar to his own in Cedric's eyes - this is very It's not easy coming.

"Today's training is over." Toby didn't say much, but quickly announced: "I will notify you in advance when the next training starts, and it will be helpful to you all."

After saying these words, Toby took Al and left, leaving two exhausted students in a daze.

Is that all?

Harry thought suspiciously, he didn't even explain why he asked me to come here. Is it because of Cedric's presence that it's inconvenient to say?Is this also related to solving Voldemort's soul?
Thinking of this, Harry subconsciously summoned his own devil, and spit out a Parseltongue voice, which sounded very dark.

Cedric couldn't be as calm as before, he hesitated and said, "Are you—?"

"Yeah, that's right." Harry was willing to go all out: "This is Parseltongue, a very evil magic. I learned it naturally. It must have shocked you, right?"

Cedric was indeed taken aback during the training just now, which couldn't be hidden from Harry's eyes.In order to pass the training smoothly, he even yelled at Cedric, otherwise it might take a long time to finish.

"But aren't you a Gryffindor?" Cedric's thoughts were as expected by Harry, he asked suspiciously: "I remember that Parseltongue is clearly a Slytherin skill."

Now Harry knows the reason, of course it has something to do with Voldemort's soul left in his body.When he couldn't tell Cedric these words, there were many people who didn't know about it and had to keep it a secret.

Seeing that Harry stopped talking, and Cedric didn't continue to ask the bottom line, Harry silently breathed a sigh of relief.

If it was Draco, it would definitely not be able to end so easily.

"I think, we should go to have breakfast quickly." Cedric suggested: "Do you want to go together? Or are you planning to go back to the dormitory first?"

"Forget it, let's go together." Harry thought that Ron would bring his textbooks.

The two walked out of the Room of Requirement together, and figures gradually appeared in the corridor, all of them were yawning students.

"That Firebolt of yours—" said Harry suddenly, "is that Professor Highmore's gift to you?"

"What?" Cedric was stunned for a moment, and after Harry asked again, he came back to his senses and said, "Yeah, I really didn't expect to receive this gift, Professor Highmore. It's really a bit too generous Oh, so many people have been asking me how to become Mr. Al's assistant recently, but I don't think these two things are related."

Harry had already tacitly accepted that it was the broom that Sirius gave him, and the one he got was the previous prize.

Cedric continued: "Since you can also be a devil, let me tell you about it—you know that I have always wanted to make a magic wand that automatically casts spells?"

"Of course." Harry said, and Hermione had been talking about it in front of him and Ron for a long time. I heard that she had also started learning wands, but she still didn't know how she was progressing.

Probably not very good, otherwise Hermione would have said it.

"That's it." Cedric continued: "The Firebolt should be regarded as an encouragement for me, or it is similar to a teaching material. Look, isn't it coming in handy today? Want to make Self-casting wands are very difficult, I'm still working on it, and the devil seems to be a big part of it."

Harry muttered softly, "Then you shouldn't just give my presents to others."

"What?" Cedric didn't hear clearly: "Are you talking about your own gift? I saw it, and it's also a Firebolt. It seems that this year's competition will be interesting."

"This is Wood's last year at school." Harry looked at him and said, "We have to win the championship."

Cedric didn't engage in tit-for-tat with Harry, he just smiled and said, "Then see you on the field."

It made Harry feel like he was punching the cotton with his fist.

They parted at the Great Hall door, Harry walked towards the Gryffindor table, and saw Ron and Hermione stretching their necks not far away.

He walked over and asked, "Did you bring my textbook too?"

"It's all here." Ron patted his backpack and said, "But where did you go? I didn't see you when I woke up."

Ron and Hermione listened carefully as Harry described what had happened this morning in a low voice - especially Hermione, who was quick to ask a barrage of questions.

"The devil has something to do with the self-casting wand?"

"Cedric has already learned how to be a devil?"

"Training? Fireball? Haven't you tried the Patronus Charm? Isn't that how we passed our exams last year?"

"Cedric didn't think of it either." Harry immediately argued, "Besides, I can't summon the Patronus yet, which is much harder than the devil."

"I agree." Ron asked, holding a piece of pie, "So you have one more training now, Harry. Will you still go to Professor Lupin's place?"

Lupine has been teaching Ron and Hermione the Patronus Charm according to Toby's previous method, and Harry has been going along with him, because Lupine thinks that Toby's magic is dangerous, and Harry must learn the Patronus Charm to use it. protect yourself.

"Of course I'm going." Harry said seriously, "It's better to try the method Hermione you mentioned, so I don't have to cooperate with Cedric."

The Firebolt that Sirius had given him still haunted him.

"Wait a minute." Hermione stared at them suddenly and said, "Do you think you should tell Professor Highmore what happened last night?"

"No!" Harry said quickly.

"How is that possible!" Ron's reaction was much more intense: "What did you say to the professor? Is someone speaking ill of him behind his back? I don't think there is anything worth revealing about that. And Harry, when the time comes you plan to let Harry What to do, he still has a lot of questions to rely on Professor Haimer—by the way, and the Firebolt, it's even harder to speak, I don't want to be involved in the conflict between the two."

Harry's thoughts are similar to Ron's, which is different from many things before. There is a deep contradiction between Sirius and Professor Highmore.If you really tell Professor Highmore what happened last night, maybe you will see with your own eyes what it means to be more Slytherin than Slytherin.

"Have you figured it out?" Hermione looked at them and said, "Remember the consequences of us hiding Professor Highmore from the past? Not once or twice, but many times, and each time was terrible. I don't think the professor will Passionate. Don't forget, he was the one who helped—helped that man off."

She dared not say Sirius' name in public.

Ron opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word.

Hermione's proposal is very necessary, after all, there are many lessons learned from the past, which made them suffer a lot.It also made them finally learn a truth - don't provoke the black devil, otherwise you will definitely regret it.

The two looked at Harry, silently waiting for him to make a decision.

Harry was silent for a while, then suddenly he put down the cup of pumpkin juice and said to them, "Come with me."

"Where are we going?" Ron ran after them with the pie, and Hermione followed them with her heavy backpack.

Harry quickly walked up the stairs, and found an empty classroom to sneak in. It seemed that there hadn't been a formal class in this place for a long time, and it was full of dust, but it was just a good time to discuss what happened next.

"Divination." After the two chased them in, Harry looked at them and said, "I will use the divination method taught by Professor Highmore, and everyone has to try it."

"Only by us?" Ron was surprised: "This is not the same as guessing the taste of beans!"

"But it can only be tried, isn't it?" Harry said, taking out the clarinet, and he played it in Parseltongue, silently waiting for the result.

The devil emerged from the clarinet, and there were pained expressions on the three heads of the rune snake.

"It doesn't look like much." Hermione asked, "What's your question?"

Harry said with an ugly face, "It's what will happen if we don't tell Professor Highmore what happened last night."

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Hermione said abruptly, "It's my turn."

She took out the blue bellflower flame bottle, snapped her fingers with a bang, and a flame rose in the bottle immediately, but it was very weak, and it seemed that it was about to go out.

"I'm asking about the consequences if nothing happens." Hermione frowned and said, "It seems that this method won't work either."

"It's my turn." Ron muttered and took out his sweater, looking reluctant.Everyone knows how difficult his "scepter" is, and it must be taught a lesson before it can be used.

The sweater immediately looked like someone was wearing it, and what happened next shocked all three of them—it patted Ron's shoulder lightly, looking very relieved.

"It didn't criticize you anymore?" Hermione was shocked, "What questions did you ask?"

Ron looked at the sweater with confused eyes, and said, "It's the consequences of telling Professor Haimer—what is this? Could it be because Professor Haimer was mentioned that it became so cute?"

Harry wasn't going to kid himself anymore.

"It seems that we have to go to the professor." He said, "I hope Sirius is still safe and sound-I remember the professor reminded us not to tell the news that Sirius is alive, otherwise he will probably be killed by the time." It's dangerous."

The source of the danger was clear to all three—it could only be Gellert Grindelwald.

It was he who took advantage of Peter Pettigrew, causing Sirius to be imprisoned for many years.

Meanwhile, in the Office of Ancient Magic.

"Remus?"

Toby looked at the visitor in surprise and asked, "Why did you come to me? It's Severus who doesn't plan to make you a potion of chamaejasma? Don't worry, I'll deduct his salary now!"

Lupine quickly grabbed Toby, and he asked suspiciously: "When did you have this kind of power? Is my salary the same?"

"There are bonuses." Toby blinked and said, "How about it, are you interested? Come and study ancient magic with me. It's much safer than going on an adventure together."

"Forget it." Lupine shook his head and said, "You don't understand at all that it's not that expedition that's dangerous, but you, Toby, as long as you're in a gang, nothing good will happen."

"What are you talking about?" Toby said impatiently, and Al also yelled: "Didn't you see that Al is still alive and well? It has been much longer than you have stayed with me."

"Actually, I've been doubting Al's identity." Lupine asked curiously: "What is it? Is it really just a Niffler? I think if it's just like that, then it must not be able to live." up to now."

"Let's talk about the reason why you came to see me." Toby's ability to change the subject was not very good, it was extremely blunt.

Lupine looked at Al helplessly, and he had no choice but to say, "I tried the divination method you taught the students in class last night."

"Oh?" Toby asked with interest: "You said you didn't want to learn ancient magic? What did you do with divination? What was the result?"

"It's just a try." Lupine resisted Toby's offer, before he went on: "What else—didn't you tell me a fortune-telling once before? Said that on the full moon I would Encountering danger is also related to the curse received in this class."

"And then?" Toby asked strangely.

"Why do you look at me like that?" Lupine asked curiously, "Don't you want to know the reason at all? You haven't mentioned it much since the last training."

"Because I'm very busy." Toby shirked: "I'm so busy that I really can't spare time, and I didn't even sleep last night, just to make a student feel bad when he stayed up all night-this is terrible It's really difficult, how can there be such a kind person, I want to dig out his brain to see."

"Don't say these things in front of the principal." Lu Ping said expressionlessly: "As for the divination, it does have results—you can't imagine what I saw—Sirius Black."

He stared straight at Toby and asked: "I saw Sirius Black, what do you think is the reason? Could it be related to his corpse? Should I not go to the celebration?"

Toby blinked.

Just for a while, there was a knocking sound outside the door.

"Professor?" Harry's voice sounded from behind the door: "I have something to tell you, are you in the office?"
