Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 335 The Fourth Year and the Fifth Event

Since his return to England, Toby has placed seven items from his vast collection into the Gringotts vault without taking them out in the first place.

In the days that followed, Toby first took out the magic ball, as well as the pharaoh's mask, the scepter, and the devil that Andros has transformed into, which is now known.

There are three other collections that he still keeps in Gringotts.

The next day, Toby took Al and Angela to Diagon Alley.

They saw that many wizards on the street were discussing the victory of the Chudley Cannons, and no one thought that they would actually have the ability to enter the World Cup.

And the value of this victory has finally begun to be reflected - there have been many changes in the prizes of the wish box, including jerseys autographed by team members, tickets for the next Chudley Cannons game, and allowing players to personally A Birthday Celebration at Home - This one-of-a-kind prize is the ultimate grand prize.

Perhaps it was because of the good harvest from the wish box that the goblin Griphook who came to receive him in Gringotts was more polite to the big client in front of him.

"We've come to fetch something," said Toby, standing before Griphook.

"Of course, come with me."

The four of them walked into a small cart together, Al got into Toby's collar skillfully, only a small head was exposed, Angela looked curiously at the tunnel in the stone corridor, it was the first time for her to come Gringotts.

Soon, the trolley started running through the labyrinth of tunnels, and Angela was dazzled.

"I want a maze too!" She shouted happily to Toby, "It's so exciting to play!"

Toby patted Al on the head and let him deal with Angela.

Griphook looked like he had something to say to Toby.

"Mr. Highmore."

Griphook approached with great insight and asked, "The senior management of Gringotts, including the goblin who worked with you, would like to know whether the report published in "The Quibbler" some time ago is true?"

It seems that goblins also pay attention to the law of conservation of magic.

Toby looked down at Griphook, then looked at the passage in front of the cart and said perfunctorily, "You should ask Dumbledore yourself, he is the first author. Besides, I am no longer worried about Gringotts. Been working for a long time."

"Of course, of course." Griphook didn't appear unhappy because of the refusal, but changed his words and said, "Gringotts will never treat one's friends badly, let alone a signature spellbreaker."

He almost said to Toby directly, "You can make a condition."

This time, a friendly smile finally appeared on Toby's face.

"The vault of the Lestrange family." He said bluntly: "If you can let me stay in that vault for a short period of time, maybe we can have a chance to talk about the law of conservation of magic. .”

After hearing that Toby was playing with the treasuries of other wizard families, Griphook immediately became vigilant: "Lestrange? As far as I know, the members of the Lestrange family who are still alive today are not Do-brother Labastan, brother Rodolphus, and his wife-Bellatrix."

"Then you should be clear." Toby interrupted: "These people were once Death Eaters, and they were all imprisoned in Azkaban and will never be released. No one will go back Keep an eye on their family coffers."

Griphook was silent for a moment.

Protecting the treasure in the vault is the bottom line at Gringotts.

"We need to think about it," Griphook said finally.

"No problem." Even though he saw that the possibility of being rejected is relatively high, Toby still said: "When you have discussed the result, you can go to Wicky. He is my partner, and you should know him."

Griphook snorted through his nose, and it was obvious that he looked down on a goblin like Wedge who was outside the power center of Gringotts.

It's no wonder that Wicky agreed to Toby's invitation so happily at the beginning - he also hated this group of people with good life, and had long wanted to make them change their minds.

Maybe I want to go too far.

Gradually, the speed of the cart slowed down.

"We're here." Griphook got off the cart, stood in front of the stone door without a keyhole, poked it with his finger, and the door slowly disappeared.

The vault was so full of gold it was almost overflowing.

During this period of time, the Black Devil Foundation has indeed made a lot of money.

Immediately afterwards, Toby and Al also got off the cart together, and Angela was also called down to help.

Al took out a normal-looking suitcase from his belly pocket, but when Angela began to put gold in it, she realized that there was more space in the suitcase than expected.

"Will all this gold be taken away?" Angela looked at the hills and asked curiously, "What are you doing with so much money?"

Toby just nodded, and after most of the hill-like piles of gold were removed, he finally revealed the collection wrapped in cloth bags underneath.

There were three of them, and Toby took one of them and went back to the cart.

Angela knew that this was the secret of Toby turning into a devil.

The cart started to go back and forth in the direction it came from, and Al's eyeballs couldn't help rolling around again—it stole Nick Flamel's Philosopher's Stone from here when it first came to England, That was a record to be proud of, but it was a pity that the "cowardly" Toby took the initiative to return it to Dumbledore.

This matter has always made it brooding, always wanting to go along with something.

Fortunately, it really found a good target.

"Yeah!" Al slapped Toby hard, making him stop the cart.

The two standing in front of the vault not far away turned their heads curiously.

"Professor Highmore, Mr. Al!" Harry exclaimed in surprise: "And—Professor Angela? Hello."

Toby let Griphook stay alone in the cart and wait for a while. Al had already run over with his short legs shaking, and then stared suspiciously at "Gazen" beside him.

Ever since he saw Al's true identity with his own eyes, James no longer regarded it as a simple sniff. He also knew what Al was wondering about, so he took the initiative to lower his voice and said, "No one Knowing who I really am, no one will associate me with this vault—Harry brought me here."

At this moment, Toby came over and asked, "Are you guys back on vacation? By the way, congratulations on qualifying for the World Cup."

James let the goblin who brought them go a little farther away, and then he replied proudly: "It's a trivial matter, those teams can't help but fight, no wonder Britain hasn't won the World Cup final for so many years."

Harry silently listened to the conversation between Professor Highmore and his father. Now he didn't understand the world of adults—who would have guessed that these two almost killed each other not long ago?
Professor Highmore was willing to let James go, and Harry's father almost destroyed part of Professor Highmore's soul (magic ball)-Harry kept this matter secret, and no one told it. This also includes James and his friends.

Because Hai Erbo said that it was different from the Horcrux, Harry didn't want the misunderstanding to become deeper because of his leak.

After chatting for a while, Toby finally brought the topic to the right track.

"Have you found any clues related to Lily?"

"Not yet, how about you?"

"I didn't find it either."

Harry looked at the two in surprise, and only then did he know that there was another reason for competing in various places during this period of time - also to find his mother.

"I don't want you to become too stressed because of this." James turned his head and said, "It would be more appropriate to leave this matter to Sirius and Remus, but I need to stay and protect you. Not sure how many other people are watching you."

"It makes me feel like a liability," Harry murmured, his tone somewhat disapproving.

"Don't say that." James frowned and shook his head.

"Yeah." Toby also said, "I didn't expect you to realize this fact now. It's good to treat you as a burden. A more accurate description should be—how about the little Dark Lord?"

Harry froze on the spot stupidly, unable to say a word.

James was about to stop him, but Toby suddenly turned to him and asked, "You should know that Peter Pettigrew will be judged soon, right? If nothing else, the best ending for him is to be sentenced for the rest of his life." Locked up in Azkaban, what are you going to do then? Only you can show up to wash away his grievances—although he doesn’t complain at all for leaking secrets, but now only you can save him. You will do this Do it?"

Harry finally recovered after hearing this, and he immediately retorted: "Of course not, right?"

He looked at his father, but didn't see the answer he wanted on James' face.

James hesitated, even if only slightly, but he hesitated.

"I knew you would think so." Without waiting for James to say anything, Toby continued to say: "After all, I saw you trying to save Snape with my own eyes—forget it, I Let me tell you this, before you have this thought, you'd better tell me in advance."

"Because I'll catch you and lock you up before you actually make this stupid mistake - Pettigrew deserves it."

James didn't expect Toby to speak so bluntly.

He sighed one last time, "We're going back to Remus and Sirius in a moment, you sure don't want to run into one of them?"

"You're right." Toby snapped his fingers, turned and left.

On the way back, Toby saw the two men guarding four servings of ice cream at the ice cream shop, and he just greeted Lupine from a distance, ignoring Sirius on the other side whose expression suddenly darkened.

"I don't understand why Dumbledore still trusts him so much?"

Sirius withdrew his gaze, he took a bite of the fruit crisp on the top of the cup and said: "That guy even has problems with the pets around him, what else is there to doubt?"

"Al is Toby's assistant, not a pet." Lupine corrected helplessly. Fortunately, he had spotted James and Harry who had just come out of Gringotts, so he waved at them.

After James came over and sat down, he first pushed one of the ice creams in front of Harry, and then said, "I just met Toby, and he also didn't find any clues about Lily—"

"And warned him not to meddle in Peter Pettigrew's case," Harry interjected quickly, wondering how James could be tolerant of someone like Peter Pettigrew.

In order to prevent the atmosphere from becoming too awkward, Sirius asked James to talk about the various reasons why he doubted Toby, and Lupine gently explained to Harry: "Don't blame him, Harry, of course James is the same as the others. It's different, otherwise he wouldn't have accepted me before, after all, the threat of werewolves is also not small."

"It's different." Harry insisted.

Sirius stopped talking, looked around at the father and son, and then said cheerfully: "Merlin, look how much you look alike. James, he was exactly like you when he was a kid—well, don't let That nasty guy ruined our vacation, where to go next - how about a horror tour? I haven't been to Zombie Trail in ages."
-
Hogwarts.

As soon as he returned to the office, Toby asked Angela, who had been silent all the way, "How is it? You've seen James with your own eyes. Does it remind you of anything?"

Angela thought about it carefully for a while.

"Nothing." She said disappointedly.

"That's right." Toby replied casually: "You have met Harry many times before this, and even if there are problems, they will show up at that time, instead of waiting until today."

Angela simply stopped worrying about this issue, and asked curiously, "Why did you go to the vault of the Lestrange family? Are there any collections you are interested in?"

"This matter is mainly to find the mysterious man." Toby did not hide anything, he said directly: "Among his former subordinates, only the vault of the Lestrange family is most likely to hide information related to him." Something—maybe he's hiding in there now, but the odds are so low that it's not worth the risk just yet."

This title has become a bit unfamiliar.

"What about the gold?" Angela asked again: "Is so much gold also related to the mysterious man?"

"No, it's something else."

Toby finally opened the cloth bag he brought back, revealing the collection inside—it looked like a large, rough-cut wooden goblet. Abandoned waste.

"The Goblet of Fire." Toby stared at the cup and said, "This is the Goblet of Fire that symbolizes the Triwizard Tournament, and I was able to become half a devil with it."

Angela blinked in surprise, she knew part of the origin of the Goblet of Fire, and knew that it was related to Beauxbatons, Durmstrang, and Hogwarts.

but--

"When did this become your collection?" She said in shock: "Could it be that you stole it? Or did you just grab it?"

"Neither." Toby patted the cup and said, "To be precise, I borrowed it from the principal, but I never returned it, and I never told him the real purpose of the Goblet of Fire—very It's an interesting finding that it represents not just a rivalry between the three schools, but more importantly, the three people involved."

"This is what I found out after a long time of research, and it may also hide a buried history-in short, to make a long story short, using the Goblet of Fire, I, the devil that Andros turned into, and Al, who was used to make up the numbers, We played a game together, and I won in the end, so I finally fulfilled the condition of becoming half a devil inside the Mason Gate."

"Since that time though, the Goblet of Fire seems to have run out of all its mana, and can no longer be lit - but I have found a solution to this problem, simply by having the Triwizard Tournament again, which will allow it to rekindle Restoration. And that gold is dedicated to running the tournament.”

Toby smiled and said: "After the game is over, we can continue to use the Goblet of Fire to learn about Andros—this will be a game that only includes you, Andros, and me."

"Believe me--"

Toby patted Angela's shoulder vigorously, as if entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

"I will help you win this game, so that you can learn the ancient Patronus Charm and know what your Patronus is."
