Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 307 The Mysterious James

The problem was revealed by Dumbledore himself and placed in front of Sirius and Lupine.

If James' body was still well buried, who exactly had found Sirius at the festival?
Would that still be James?Or is it just someone else pretending to be?
In addition, the two also learned another thing from Tonks - Toby really lied, it is impossible for Dumbledore to have the mind to do other things while recuperating, so Grindelwald's death It is true that he forged it.

"I'm going to expose him!" Sirius said subconsciously, with anger written all over his face: "This despicable and shameless villain, I'm going to expose him now!"

"Don't go!" Unexpectedly, it was Tonks who stopped him, she said: "Dumbledore didn't intend for you to expose yourself like this, and he also heard about what Toby did, But he doesn't care, the top priority now is to find James Potter first."

This confused both Sirius and Lupine.

"You just read this letter." Lupine frowned and said, "You should know that James should not be resurrected."

"No." Tonks shook his head and said, "That's not exactly what Dumbledore meant. He speculated that James might be resurrected in other ways, not using James' true colors, but I don't know Is he hinting at something, and we can only find out by ourselves-yes, just a few of us. Dumbledore didn't intend to let me tell Toby about it, he asked me to keep it secret, and the reason why he didn't reveal Toby Lies, but also because I hope that I can continue to come to assist you."

"Why?" Sirius said dissatisfiedly, "What on earth is he thinking?"

Tonks ate the last sandwich in two or three bites, and then said in a puzzled tone: "I didn't fully understand Dumbledore's intentions, but I can probably hear that he hoped that we could start with Toby." Find James one step at a time, the only way to prevent Toby from dying."

"I know it's weird, but that's what Dumbledore thought, and he thought that if Toby died, something very bad would happen."

She repeated it several times with emphasis: "It's very bad, very bad."

The three didn't know the existence of the resurrection stone, and they didn't associate it with it at all, and they didn't know the ending of Cadmus Peverell in the story of the three brothers-he successfully resurrected himself The beloved woman, but in the end committed suicide because of the pain, and let the god of death take his life smoothly.

resurrection stone.

If Toby was present, he would know that Dumbledore was worried that James' so-called resurrection was related to the resurrection stone, and the person who owns this item will not end well, unless the owner has no idea what it is, That's why he didn't tell Tonks about the existence of this item, choosing to keep it a secret from her, and at the same time asked her to keep it a secret from Toby.

As for death, it couldn't be easier to understand - Toby had faced a mysterious being himself, and then revealed the secret of "three people" in the screaming shack on a full moon night, which is easy to understand. Reminiscent of death.

Others would just take it as a joke, but not Dumbledore, who owns the Elder Wand and has personally seen the Invisibility Cloak handed down from the Potter family.

It's a curse, it's dangerous, and it's Toby's best kept secret.

Dumbledore needs to know enough about the curse so he can know what happened to Toby.

This is also something that Toby couldn't think of - that is, Dumbledore did not choose to prioritize solving his own crisis, but wanted to understand Toby first and know what happened to him.

These are inseparable from the Deathly Hallows, and the Grim Reaper.

Once again, Dumbledore picked up the great ideals of his youth, but this time he had no one to accompany him, but was alone.

Because his old partner is still locked in the secret room of the castle.

A copy of "The Quibbler" floated in front of Grindelwald, and Toby was sitting opposite him. At this time, Toby was leisurely observing Grindelwald's reaction.

After Grindelwald finally finished reading all the reports, Toby put the magazine away, and he asked with an interested tone: "How do you feel? Do you think your students will come to save you? They At least knowing that you are in my hands, how many people do you think would be willing to take this risk?"

"Compared with this matter, I am more curious about Dumbledore's attitude." Grindelwald said calmly: "He would let you make up such a lie. Let me guess, he must be I have more important things to do, so I don't care about you, right?"

"Don't try to find Dumbledore's whereabouts here." Toby shook his head and said, "It's meaningless. Don't forget, Aberforth doesn't know where he is yet. Your people arrested him Yes, I think he should be able to come back soon, as a bargaining chip or something. Why, don’t you believe it?”

Grindelwald once again began to confuse: "I only know that there is an obvious fact before our eyes. Dumbledore is no longer at Hogwarts, and you have become the acting headmaster. I don't understand what else is there Hesitating, are you worried that Dumbledore will come back to settle accounts with you? You should know that since the law of conservation of magic was leaked, the conflict between you and him can no longer be reconciled—he is destined to choose A path that contradicts ideals, because of his cowardice, because he likes peaceful days."

"Moreover, I don't understand why you haven't revealed this great discovery to the world. This is a gift I deliberately left for you, and it is destined to make you famous."

"It would be more appropriate to say that it is a scapegoat." Toby saw through Grindelwald's intentions at a glance: "And in this way, the conflict between me and the principal is really irreconcilable, and it will make it easier for you to recruit me. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."

"I thought you wouldn't care." Grindelwald said in a regretful tone, "It seems that your so-called ideal is not as firm as I thought."

"You don't need to provoke me anymore." Toby felt that the conversation was becoming more and more boring. He stood up and said, "Your men killed my friend, so what do you think?" Why would I be willing to join you? You should have thought about this matter long ago, unless you tell me now that the Potters are not dead, which might give you some chance to escape."

"I think you should be referring to Lily Evans." Grindelwald said, and Toby did not deny this. The relationship between him and James is not yet a friendship, at best the relationship is not that bad .

"When you were in school, you didn't hesitate to kill your friends' relatives for your friends, and then plant this crime on another person." Grindelwald continued: "I know they are very important to you. But it's a pity Yes, I wasn't there when the Potters were killed, I was still locked up in Nurmengard at that time, and I couldn't fully control the whole process."

"Do you think I'll believe it?" Toby sneered. "You've gone to such lengths just to get Voldemort to kill them and make a Boy Who Lived? what is the benefit."

"Benefits?" Grindelwald stared at Toby and said, "Do you think I designed so many things just for a little benefit? No, you don't understand, I'm trying to save them, save the group of arrogant And stupid wizards, to avoid a situation where magic is destroyed."

"If it were Dumbledore who spoke these words, I might be more convinced." Toby was about to leave the secret room, and he said without looking back: "But Gellert Grindelwald ,forget it."

Grindelwald stared at the back of Toby who was fading away, and he suddenly asked: "If Lily Evans was still alive, what would you do? Would you get back together with your friends, or would you continue a new life?" If you go to the end, no one can make you give up your ideals?"

Toby stopped in his tracks, he turned his head slowly and said, "I didn't expect that even you would think so, I thought the Dark Lord could understand the Dark Devil's mind, it seems that Dumbledore is indeed much stronger than you , he knows that all of this can't be stopped, it can only be delayed temporarily, and he has never had such concerns like you."

"You lost at the hands of Dumbledore, you are really not wronged at all."

Office of Ancient Magic.

Al ate Bibi's multi-flavored beans one by one, chewing loudly, his cheeks bulging, and Ludo Bagman, who was sitting across the desk, was a little greedy.

He reaches out to try and get some beans, but Al turns around and stares at him warily.

The two stared at each other silently for a while, and Bagman frowned dissatisfiedly, thinking how the rich man's pet could be so stingy.

Just when he was going to ask for the second time, the door of the office was pushed open, and Toby walked in with a smile: "Ludo, my old friend."

Upon hearing Toby's name, Ludo Bagman's face trembled, and he responded with a forced smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and you have become a big shot in the wizarding world. Ever since Grindelwald's corpse After being transferred to the Ministry of Magic, everyone was talking about you, and Dumbledore."

"Does this also include Fudge?" Toby asked in a casual tone: "Don't tell me that he specially asked you to come to me, I don't want to see things like obstructing a Quidditch match, even if Grindel Wo is no longer in the world, but the enthusiasm of the audience still needs to be ignited, and this time the venue of the league is Hogwarts, I think they will be willing to come here to watch the game-maybe I can get a lottery by the way What will the sale be?"

The smile on Ludo's face froze, and he didn't know if it was because Toby had guessed what was on his mind, or because of this so-called signing event—many people were victims of wish boxes, deeply loved by "Ancient The hazards of magic.

"How is it possible." He smiled more forcefully: "There is no such thing at all. Everyone knows the benefits of holding the competition at Hogwarts at this time, and no one will disagree."

He silently forgot all of Fudge's hints in his heart. Now there is a rumor circulating in the ministry. It is said that Scrimgeour approached Toby, but he was severely taught by the other party. There was no response to this.

Someone who can't even offend Fudge, why should he let Ludo Bagman go to the fire, he still wants to leave Hogwarts intact.

A smile appeared on Toby's face again.

"That couldn't be better." He said kindly: "Oh, by the way, I am still the acting headmaster of Hogwarts now, with more power than before, I believe this competition will be held smoothly. "

But after listening to Toby's words, Ludo showed a embarrassed look on his face.

"What's the matter?" Toby restrained the smile on his face a little bit and asked, "Is there any problem?"

"There are some." Ludo said: "The Chudley Cannons, the team you designated, they don't seem to want to play the game-it's not against you, it's not against Hogwarts, but okay, I think what they mean is that they don't want to play any more games."

Under Toby's probing eyes, Ludo said dryly: "Not long ago, they lost to the Wigtown Wanderers, which dealt them a big blow, and the captain of the team is also missing. For a while, I guess I don’t want to touch Quidditch again in my life.”

Al didn't listen - lost to the homeless team?
This team is really capable.

"The more it happens, the better it is for them to cheer up." Toby said dissatisfiedly: "I have to leave it to you to persuade them. This is not something I should be responsible for. By the way, let me ask again. , if this is the case, will it be easier for them to accept some exceptions?"

coming.

Ludo knew that Toby must have other conditions.

"What do you mean?" he asked tentatively.

"For example, let an underage student join the team or something." Toby said in a tone of no big deal: "Don't look at me like that, to be honest, I really doubt whether they can beat Granville." Fendo's team, well, I mean any team in the four colleges."

"It sounds difficult." Ludo agreed at this time: "But the new players. Maybe I can really give it a try. If I don't add some gimmicks to them, it is estimated that this team It is about to be disbanded, which absolutely cannot happen during my tenure. However, it is estimated that the new players will be strongly criticized by then. Are you sure you want to do this? That student can accept so much psychological pressure?"

"Although don't worry." Toby said with a smile: "Many of my students have this ability."

"A lot?" Ludo noticed Toby's words: "How many people are you going to choose, if there are too many—"

"No, there is only one." Toby interrupted: "As for who it is, it depends on whether they can win this opportunity."

"I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know right from wrong."
