Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 303 Team
The entry of Frank and Alice passed quickly. Perhaps they encountered some difficulties in the process, but neither of them mentioned it.

Instead, Ludo Bagman told Toby all these things.

"They were emptied."

Bagman said at the beginning, and then immediately clarified: "This has nothing to do with me. You should know who did it. I said, this should not affect our friendship, right?"

All he could think about was solving the Quidditch match, and he didn't want to have any trouble with Toby, the foundation's big benefactor.

Although no one has questioned Bagman's ability now, they may not be able to tell in the future-the atmosphere in the ministry is very bad, especially Fudge, whoever sees him recently has to avoid him, otherwise he will inevitably suffer a lot. Painful.

"Of course not." Toby responded with a smile, looking very understanding: "Lucius will help them solve this problem, I am very optimistic about his ability."

Upon hearing these words, Bagman immediately became more relieved—that was Lucius, the well-known Malfoy family, powerful and powerful, and had a very good relationship with the minister.

He really didn't expect that even Lucius was on Toby's side, and it seemed that Fudge's life would not be too easy-but who cares, the problem of the Quidditch game has to be solved first.

"It's very simple." Toby said as easily as what to have for dinner today: "I will convince the headmaster to let him give up the school's Quidditch pitch, which will be the next few games. The venue of the competition. As for how many competitions can be held, we have to discuss it carefully.”

Bagman froze for a moment.

"It's wonderful." He immediately reacted, and he was very excited: "This idea is really wonderful. Everyone knows that Albus Dumbledore is the one who defeated Grindelwald, and no one dares to fight in his territory." Going wild, this way the audience should feel at ease—but which teams are you going to choose as the team for the game?"

"I don't care about the rest." Toby had obviously made a decision long ago, and he said the answer directly: "But the Chudley Cannons, they must participate, and as long as there are their events, they will be held by Hogwarts alone."

Bagman thought he had heard wrong.

"The Chudley Cannons?" he asked suspiciously. "You're supposed to be talking about the Wimbourne Hornets, aren't you?"

"No." Toby said, wagging a finger. "It's the Chudley Cannons, the team that has been underperforming since 1892, and the glory days are over. I like them."

"So you know." Bagman said in surprise, "It's been 100 years since they won the UEFA Cup for the last time. Are you sure you want to choose them?"

"To be precise, it is one hundred and two years." Toby corrected: "And, don't you think the story of the return of the king will be very marketable? Believe me, someone will be interested in this story, "The Quibbler" I will also vigorously promote the first game, and I will leave the rest to you, Director.”

For some reason, when he heard Toby calling himself Director Bagman, he subconsciously shut his mouth. He put all his doubts in his heart, thinking that Toby would do it, anyway, it would cost money. People are not him.

After Bagman left, only Toby and Al were left in the office.

"How are you feeling recently?" Toby suddenly asked Al an unrelated question.

Al immediately checked his body up and down, not even letting go of the long flat mouth, and finally wagged his short tail and said "ah", indicating that there was nothing wrong with him.

This is a question that Toby has been concerned about since that full moon night. After all, the god of death has appeared, and it is difficult to ensure that it will not have any impact on Al.

Moreover, there are three brothers of the Peverell family, and their descendants.

Now Toby can confirm the location of at least two Deathly Hallows, one of which is the Elder Wand, which is in Dumbledore's hands.

Another item is the invisibility cloak. On the night when the god of death appeared, Harry's invisibility cloak became a little different from usual.

That's the second Deathly Hallows.

And one last thing—the Resurrection Stone.

"James Potter." Toby whispered, "Did he come back to life because of the Resurrection Stone? Did he ever die once?"

For this question, asking Grindelwald is the best way, but it is a pity that in front of such a superb Occlumency master, no matter how powerful Legilimency is, it will not work, not to mention that Grindelwald is so good at deceiving people.

He has already tried to use the Elder Wand to continue to provoke the relationship between Toby and Dumbledore, it is hard to guarantee that he will not do similar things a second time - and the method is also very simple, just tell Toby some wrong information , it is possible to use him.

"It's time to see the principal." Toby said abruptly, "I haven't applied for the Quidditch stadium in advance. Even if there is no such thing, there is no point in continuing to shirk the meeting time. By the way, let's discuss how to deal with Grindelwald." also."

Al didn't expect this cold war to end so quickly. He was at a loss for a while, and wanted to take out the small shovel, and then replaced it with Gryffindor's sword, but finally felt that these two things were a bit inappropriate ——What if Toby is driven away, or even fights with Dumbledore?

"No." Toby patted Al on the head and said, "The principal won't embarrass us, he can't afford to anger me. Remember the law of conservation of magic, although he didn't tell me, but he I definitely don’t want to reveal this matter.”

"Yeah?" Al asked with some concern, does it want to know the day when Toby will really leak the secret?

Toby just patted Al's little head again, without answering the question.

"Come on," he said. "Put on your spectacles, too, just like the Headmaster's. He'll like it."

When Toby and Al, who was wearing half-moon lenses, came to the stone beast, it didn't even ask for the password, and jumped out of the way to let the entrance to the principal's office.

It seems that Dumbledore has been waiting for Toby for a long time.

Along the spiral staircase, Toby walked up all the way in silence. Al was still fiddling with his glasses nervously, wondering whether he should also put on the mini star and moon witch robe.

Before Al could think about this question, Toby had already arrived at the last oak door and knocked lightly on the door.

The door was unlocked, but there was no answer.

Toby frowned and walked into the empty principal's office. After seeing him, the sorting hat said angrily, "You are late, Dumbledore is not at school."

"Where did he go?" Toby asked, walking to the desk.

"I don't know." For some reason, the Sorting Hat got angry when it saw Toby. It forgot that it was kidnapped by Toby, but it always felt that something was wrong, and its tone never changed: "Dumbledore Lido is a busy person, and he rarely stays in school all the time, not to mention you just caused him a big trouble not long ago."

The Sorting Hat remembers the incident with Arianna's devil clearly, but it really doesn't understand why the pair of teachers and students can act as if nothing happened.

Toby, and Al, quite naturally, had begun to rummage.

"Hey! Hey!" The Sorting Hat immediately yelled: "Someone is here to steal something! Is there no one to care about, really no one to care about?"

The portraits of the headmaster on the wall followed suit, and Phineas uttered "shameless" in a low voice, then carefully looked at the expression on Toby's face, and relaxed a lot after finding that he was not angry.

Now that Dumbledore isn't at school, who knows if Toby will actually destroy his effigy.

Unmoved, Toby continued to open a drawer, and saw that it was full of "Transfiguration Today", and it seemed that every issue had been kept.

"He didn't leave me anything?" Toby asked without raising his head, "For example, a magic wand, or something to explain, isn't there even this?"

"I'll tell you if you stop!" The Sorting Hat shouted, Toby looked up at it, and Al stopped holding a silverware.

"There is only one thing." The Sorting Hat finally said: "Dumbledore knows you hate him, but I still ask you not to trust anything Grindelwald said, not a single word."

"But so far, Grindelwald hasn't lied to me much." Toby said slowly: "Instead, he helped me understand the secret of the magic ball and the law of conservation of magic—"

"That's because he is plotting greater ambitions." The Sorting Hat said anxiously: "If you want to get something, you must first give it away. This is Grindelwald's consistent style. Otherwise, how do you think he gathered such a large group? Followers, as well as his current unknown students, a group of eccentric guys, there are still some who come back from the dead, my God, how did the magic world become what it is today."

The Sorting Hat began to lament the misery of the wizarding world today, and even the students were becoming increasingly dissatisfied with its new song—yes, it could feel it, only freshmen would find it interesting, and other old students would only I know it's really rude to rush to fill your stomach.

"Isn't the principal hiding again?" Toby asked again, "So when I'm about to do something, he'll show up again and find an excuse to kick me out?"

"Do you think he really knows the avatar technique?" The Sorting Hat said impatiently: "I think he went to archaeology, just like you, how can he study you as a student if he doesn't study ancient magic——ah, What are you looking for, stop now!"

Toby opened a copy of "Ancient Magic" unhurriedly. He still remembered that Dumbledore used this book to tidy himself up because it was easy to hold.

He slowly opened the book, found a few white hairs inside, picked them up after counting them carefully and asked, "This is also what the principal told me, right?"

The Sorting Hat knew the truth had been revealed, and it shouted in despair: "Merlin, Hogwarts is about to fall into the hands of the Dark Devil, how could Dumbledore make such a stupid decision—"

"No, he's much smarter than you." Toby put his hair back carefully, and said, "Now that Dumbledore has become an archaeologist, someone must take the position of principal."

"He knew there was no better choice than me."
-
There was another knock on the door of the principal's office.

As soon as Snape walked in, he asked maliciously: "You finally decided to drive Toby away, I thought you would think that no one would find out the conflict between the two of you, it's just a big fanfare It was announced."

"I think, at least in the eyes of most people, Toby and I are safe and sound." Behind the desk, Dumbledore put down the "Transfiguration Today" in his hand, he raised his head, and looked at Si with those blue eyes. Knepe said, "And you're clearly not in the majority, Severus."

Snape knew it was a refusal, which put him in a bad mood, and even his tone was not so friendly anymore.

"Is there anything else you need?" He was ready to leave the office.

"There is indeed one thing." Dumbledore said mildly: "Toby plans to hold several Quidditch League matches at Hogwarts, and there will be spectators at the scene, and the number of people is estimated to be quite large—"

"You just agreed?" Before Dumbledore could finish speaking, Snape asked angrily, "How can you let Toby do whatever he wants? What the hell is he, and why should you tolerate him so much?"

"I have my reasons," said Dumbledore in his usual tone, which made Snape extremely unhappy.

"But what does that have to do with me?" Snape asked sullenly.

"It's still the same." Dumbledore said: "I won't go to the scene then, but the game still needs someone to look after it, and I also need to help keep an eye on Toby's movements. You are qualified for this job, right, Severer S?"

"I think it's difficult." Snape refused almost immediately, "I'm already preparing those damned potions for your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, there's no reason to do more for you. It's time for you to have a headache this time, don't even think about bringing me along."

As he said that, he was about to leave the office, looking determined to confront Dumbledore.

At this moment, the voice from behind made his legs stop involuntarily.

"devil."

Dumbledore said abruptly: "Since you are so unwilling to help, I can let Minerva do it too. But, your devil, Severus, I think it is time to have a good talk. , do you have anything to say?"

Snape turned around slowly, he stared at Dumbledore, and squeezed out a sentence: "This has nothing to do with you, I have my own reasons, there is no need to tell you."

"Can't even share a word?" Dumbledore insisted: "I don't want to have another student who needs to be taken care of. After all, until now we don't know whether Toby's loss of control was faked. It's a real problem. It's hard to make sure it doesn't happen to you—"

"Then you can ask Toby!" Snape said angrily, "Try to ask how much he has lied to you. Do you really think that kind of person would describe all his experiences in one word? Is it not bad to tell you?"

"But I trust Toby." Dumbledore said, looking into Snape's eyes. "Just like trusting you. In my opinion, there is no difference between you."

Snape sneered, obviously thinking that Dumbledore's statement was completely absurd, he had never had Dumbledore's unreasonable trust.

"I'll keep an eye on Toby for you." Snape suddenly changed his mind and said, "Just wait and see how loyal your students are to you, or whether they want to destroy all your hard work. "

After saying this, Snape left without looking back.

It was quiet again in the office.

Dumbledore put away the Transfiguration book, and his tone changed back to Toby's voice, asking the dumbfounded faces in the room, "How? I told you—"

"I am the most suitable person to be the principal."
