Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 341

"what?!"

Ron in the bedroom also shouted in disbelief: "You are telling the truth? I can really learn from the devil?!"

"That's right, child." Toby encouraged, "Don't disappoint me. As for whether you want to tell Miss Granger or not, it's entirely up to you, if you think you can bear her dissatisfaction."

"Of course I'm going to say it!" Ron finally had something to show off: "I have to write her a letter every day, and remind her every day that I can learn about the devil-but, professor, why would you change idea?"

Toby and Al looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths curled up at the same time.

Ron felt that it was a bit malicious.

"Because you're going to beat Harry's devil with your own."

Toby said, "Then eat Harry's devil completely."

"I'm sure you can do that, Mr Weasley."

After Ron left in a daze, Toby announced that all of them can leave, and we can talk about anything later when we have time.

Only now did Angela have time to tell Toby about the problem that had just happened to Harry.

"I've already guessed it." Toby nodded and said, "Helbo won't let Harry go so easily, maybe this is really his only Horcrux left, just leave it to me— —Besides, I have something to tell you."

"You're not Lily Evans."

Angela silently waited for Toby's next words.

They stared at each other for a while, Angela tilted her neck in confusion and asked, "And then?"

"And then it's gone." Toby's answer left Angela speechless for a while: "I don't know if your real identity is tricky, maybe only Hai Erbo knows the truth—but it definitely won't be Lily Evans .”

"You found her?" Angela could only think of this possibility.

"No." Toby shook his head and said, "I did find some evidence, but I haven't found where she is yet, that's all - I have to go to Dumbledore now, and I need to discuss some things with him. "
-
Hogsmeade Village, Hog's Head Pub.

When Toby arrived, there were no customers in the whole bar.

Aberforth was complaining non-stop: "What the hell did you get here again? I saw that guy, are you sure he's still alive?"

"I know it's weird, I've never seen a breathing skeleton before," Toby said as he brushed him up the stairs.

In the deepest room on the second floor, Dumbledore is placing a twitching skeleton on the bed. On the index finger of the skeleton is a golden ring with the Peverell family engraved on it. seal.

After Toby walked in, Dumbledore slowly took off the ring, and he said in a complicated tone: "The ring of the Gaunt family should be Voldemort's last Horcrux."

The current situation is really embarrassing, because not long ago, Dumbledore prevented Toby from looking for the Horcrux that was originally inlaid with the resurrection stone, fearing that he would fall into Haierbo's trap.But they never expected it to be worn by the skeleton in front of them in the Castle of Death.

Toby went over and took the ring. He checked it carefully and said, "This ring is different from other Horcruxes. It seems to be empty."

"I know." Dumbledore said, looking at the skeleton on the bed: "Because Helbo used it to resurrect this man, the man whose name we don't yet know—or, Tom Riddle. I think I know him Who is it?"

Both of them agreed that the skeleton in front of them could not be Voldemort, but Haierbo's backhand on Voldemort - now it seems that Voldemort's fate has been controlled by Haierbo all the time.

"Then who would he be?" Toby asked immediately.

"A Muggle." Dumbledore sighed. "Voldemort's father has the same name as him, Tom Riddle."

"Utilizing the black feathers from the Castle of Death and the shattered soul in this Horcrux, Hale Burr brought Voldemort's father back to life."

"It seems that my guess is correct." Toby narrowed his eyes and said, "Helbo's way of using Horcruxes is indeed different. He hides all the really important knowledge. It's like he hides his own personality. If you have to add a title of [Despicable], no one would have imagined that the real Hai Erbo would be so kind."

"In this way, my arrangements should not go wrong."

He was referring to the previous arrangements for several people in the office.

When Voldemort's biological father appeared in front of him, it was confirmed that Hai Erbo had a way to resurrect someone, including himself.

Harry's situation has become more dangerous.

Perhaps one day, he will really be resurrected as Hai Erbo.

But just now, after Angela comforted Harry's devil, Harry's forehead suddenly stopped hurting.

This is also the solution that Toby thought of - after becoming Hai Erbo's horcrux, Harry's devil still had contact with that piece of broken soul after all - maybe Hai Erbo's inspiration for inventing the Horcrux came from the devil .

That being the case, maybe there's no need to kill Harry at all, just kill Harry's devil.

Too bad Jaime's Patronus doesn't work at this point.

Because only the devil can kill the devil completely - this is the truth that Toby only learned after using the Goblet of Fire to become half a devil, and that time he was almost killed by Andros.

As for the reason for choosing Ron.
Toby took out a heavy book from his pocket and opened it page by page.

After turning over an unknown number of pages, a familiar name finally appeared on it——Ron Weasley.

Al was right. When Toby and Dumbledore cooperated, there was really nothing that could bother them.

So Toby stole the ledger from Death Castle.

The reason why Ron appeared on the ledger was not Toby's original intention.

It was Death Castle who chose him.

"Maybe I have a way to restore him to human form, so we may know more clues." Toby said to Dumbledore: "There is a plant Animagus in my collection, there should be a way to make Voldemort's father came back to life in his place."

Dumbledore's eyes showed thought.

After being silent for a while, he didn't comment on Toby's thoughts, but asked instead: "Do you think this can be regarded as resurrection from the dead?"

It can be seen that Dumbledore has been struggling with this issue.

"I don't know either." Toby shook his head slowly.

Even with the example of James, he dared not make such a conclusion.

The heavy book was opened again, page by page was scanned, and finally stopped at a familiar name.

"Perhaps we will not know the answer until we find her."

Lily Evans.

Her name is also on the list of Death Castle.
-
Ginny was still reeling from the fact that "Gjen" was Harry's father.

Her brother Ron was also not much better, he was only thinking about killing Harry, he wanted to kill Harry. As for the devil behind him, he had long since ignored him.

He always felt like it was all the same.

This also made Ron's sneaky look at Harry weird.

"What happened to you?"

Harry was disturbed, and he was also troubled by the possibility that he might become Hai Erbo-why was Professor Highmore so sure this time?
Could it be that he saw with his own eyes someone who used a horcrux to come back from the dead?

"We're good friends, right?"

Ron grabbed Harry's wrist and said in a tone that made Harry's skin crawl all over: "You're not going to try to kill me, are you? No matter if I turn into a monster or something, it doesn't matter." Will do that?"

Harry felt that all his troubles were gone, and his heart was filled with nausea.

"What are you messing around with?"

He quickly shook off Ron's palm, and Ginny was stunned, but Luna laughed happily: "Go on, go on, it's so interesting."

Ron didn't feel disgusted at all, he said sincerely, "You tell me first, don't you?"

"Right, right." Harry leaned back quickly and said, "I'm sure I won't want to kill you, don't do it again, okay? It's going to scare me."

But Ron became even more sad after hearing Harry's answer.

"Sorry, buddy." He said with a sob: "I may have to drop out of school early, who made Professor Highmore the vice principal. I can't refuse him, can you help me ask the team Is there still a place to work for others? I don’t need to be paid a lot of salary every month, as long as I can support myself after being kicked out of my family.”

Even Ginny could see that Ron was out of his mind, and not in a normal way.

"He was ordered to kill you." Pandora's notebook said abruptly: "But I think it's possible that he just thinks so, oh, what a poor kid, silly, maybe it would be better if you quit school early."

"Who wants to drop out?" James, who was driving the carriage outside, yelled: "If you want me to say, you have to wait until the game is over before dropping out - is that you, Harry, you plan to drop out and play the game? "

Harry wasn't in the mood to respond to James' joke.

"How soon will we be there?" he asked, sticking his head out of the window, above the high clouds - as they drove back in the Thestral wagon.

"Ten minutes to Lovegood's."

James turned back and said, "I think we need to have a good discussion about what happened just now, but Molly is unlikely to welcome us, and I'm sure she doesn't want her children to get into any trouble."

The silence lasted until 10 minutes later.

When the carriage landed in the courtyard of Lovegood's house, Xenophilius was standing outside the door with a tray full of various cups to greet them.

"I just invented several new tea recipes, do you want to try them?"

Ron almost cried when he saw this scene.

Fortunately, the process of resolving the misunderstanding is not difficult.

After exchanging information about what each of them had learned from Toby, Ron quickly realized that he had made a mistake. He didn't really want to kill Harry, but he wanted to help Harry solve a big problem—— Trouble from Hai Erbo.

They all guessed that Toby couldn't have arranged for Ron to do this for no reason, and Harry's terrible guesses that it must have been made in response to Helbo's threat.

"I'm going to be your savior." Ron said happily.

"That's right." Ginny said calmly and sarcastically, "Professor Haimer ignored the fact that he could solve the problem by himself, but let you get this opportunity just to prove yourself—why didn't I know Haimo Professor Mo suddenly became so [smart]?"

"Hey!" Ron said dissatisfiedly: "How can you say that about your brother-it sounds like something Hermione would say, you should really stay away from her."

"But what Ginny said is indeed true." Harry also analyzed calmly: "Professor Highmore is obviously a devil himself, he is fully capable of eating my rune snake, but he just didn't do it, It's for you to come, or if you haven't learned the devil at all."

"It won't bother me." Ron said confidently.

Luna and Pandora on the other side were discussing something quietly.

"Honey, what identity do you think it would be better for me to be resurrected? Should I use my previous appearance, or a completely different appearance like James?"

"I don't know, Mom, maybe you should ask Dad."

"No, you can't tell him yet, you have to keep it secret, so that you can surprise him."

At the same time, the argument between Ginny and Ron had entered a heated stage, and Harry was dumbfounded watching it, unable to speak at all.

"You just think I'm useless?" Ron said angrily, "You just think I can't help at all? Let me tell you, there are many things you don't know."

"Oh, tell me about it?" Ginny said unhurriedly.

"Patronus." Ron mentioned what happened last semester: "I learned Patronus with Hermione, and I also took Professor Hammer's devil class together. He must have chosen me because he found that I was better than Hermione. !"

"What about your patron saint and the devil?" Ginny made a rummaging motion: "Why didn't I see any of them? How did you manage to hold back until now before you say anything?"

Ron was too angry to speak.

"Ah, I see." Ginny said with a sneer, "So you haven't learned any of them, is Hermione the same?"

"That's not true." Harry said subconsciously: "She successfully summoned silver smoke, but unfortunately this class was suspended later, otherwise she might really be able to learn the Patronus—even I can't .”

"Which side are you on?" Ron shouted angrily.

At this time, the bedroom door was pushed open.

James stuck his head in and said, "Can you come out, Harry? I have something to talk to you about."

Harry probably guessed why his father called himself out alone. As soon as he walked out of the bedroom door, he said, "Don't worry, doesn't Professor Highmore have a way? I've been through worse before, but it's all good." coming."

"No, this is not the question I want to ask." After closing the door, James said to Harry with a serious face: "What I want to ask you is, have you considered changing schools? Or simply dropping out Just focus on playing the game.”

"Why?" Harry asked in shock.

"It's hard to say clearly," James said with worry in his eyes, "It's not that I don't trust Toby, but I want to use my own method to save you—I have a feeling that they seem to take Hai Erbo too lightly, Thought I'd be able to circumvent all his schemes, but I don't think so."

Harry didn't argue with James on this issue, he asked instead: "Then can you save me?"

James opened his mouth, but nothing came out.

He just wanted to spend more time with his child, and couldn't bear to watch him step by step into Haierbo's ambition.

Without further questioning, Harry took a recorder out of his pocket and played it in Parseltongue.

The rune snake devil with only one head left appeared in front of them.

"I've expected this day." Harry said, pointing to the severed part of the snake, "I guessed that such a day would come when Professor Highmore asked me to remove the other two snake heads."

"Before this, Professor Highmore told me that this devil did not belong to anyone but me, and it appeared entirely because of me. This made me lose all luck, because I might be a Slytherin Painful, but then also because Professor Highmore changed my mind."

"I know it's hard to swallow, but I also wish I was a Slytherin - but it doesn't matter now."

He looked James in the eyes and said, "Because I want to live, to live until the day I can see my mother with my own eyes, and I know she must be alive too, and you should know that too."

"Professor Highmore will not harm me, he will help us find her."

"I believe in him."

James looked into those familiar eyes, he hesitated to speak, and finally just silently patted Harry's shoulder, smiled reluctantly and said, "Go, go and have fun with your friends."

No one knew, his heart became more painful and more guilty because of Harry's words.
