Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 35 The New Office

There were a lot of sealed boxes floating behind Toby. He walked back to the castle, just in time to meet the angry Dean McGonagall, and Harry followed her pitifully.

"Calm down, Dean McGonagall."

Toby smiled and comforted, "It's just students who cause trouble. Hogwarts needs such students the most. At worst, some points will be deducted, and a period of confinement—"

When he heard this, Harry couldn't help feeling a sense of gratitude to Professor Highmore—he thought at first that he would be forcibly expelled from school, but it would undoubtedly be easier to accept if it was just deducting points and being placed in solitary confinement.

Toby continued: "Of course, punishment needs to be treated fairly. I saw that Mr. Malfoy also rode a broomstick without authorization. If you are embarrassed to deduct points from Slytherin House, just let me do it—— Oh, right,"

He suddenly wondered, "Why is Potter the only one following you, Malfoy? Didn't he also make a mistake?"

The expression on Professor McGonagall's face stiffened.

"Are these all your luggage?" she asked suddenly.

"That's right." Although Toby answered with his mouth, Toby's eyes were still a little suspicious. one of the tactics.

"No way." Toby silently compared Harry and James: "He's only in first grade."

Harry couldn't understand, but Professor McGonagall knew that Toby had seen through her plan, and she said in a very low voice: "Gryffindor was defeated by the Slytherin team last time, and I have been waiting for a few weeks. Don't dare to meet Snape face to face"

"Severus is really too much." Toby naturally blamed Snape for all this: "But will the headmaster agree? This is an exception."

"I'll have a good talk with Albus."

After getting Dean McGonagall's answer, Toby couldn't help but want to tell Snape the good news himself.

"Severus is going to freak out."

The two sides separated on the stairs, Toby returned to his office, arranged it excitedly, and Al gave him ideas loudly.

After everything was completed, Toby looked at the brand new office with satisfaction.

"In this way, those students who receive tutoring will definitely study harder."

On the other hand, Malfoy already knew the whole story, and knew that it was Potter who suddenly saved him.

But in his heart there was no gratitude at all, and his face was terrible and ugly.

And Harry's mood at this time was completely occupied by the joy of being a Seeker.

Ron held up a steak and kidney pie and completely forgot to bring it to his mouth.

"Seeker?" he said. "You saved Malfoy and then became Gryffindor's Seeker? He'd be pissed if he knew!"

"So we'll keep it a secret," Harry said. "You'll have to wait until the end to see the look on Malfoy's face. That's the most interesting thing."

Fred and George came to congratulate them, and after they left, some unwelcome guy appeared with an extremely gloomy face: "Are you having your last meal, Potter? When will you return by train?" Where are the Muggles?"

The two sides debated for a while, and then agreed to a duel at midnight.Malfoy thought of framing Harry. He thought it would be enough to just tell Filch about it secretly, but now he doesn't think so. It's better to add the dean of Slytherin - Snape, He especially disliked Harry Potter.

Once Harry was caught, he would definitely be taught a lesson by Snape.

Hermione overheard the conversation between the two parties, and she persuaded them a few times on the grounds of losing points, but the two only felt that she was meddling in her own business.

This put Hermione in a bad mood, and on her way to the Office of Ancient Magic after dinner, she secretly decided that she must stop them.

She attaches great importance to college points, and tries her best to answer questions in every class, but she doesn't want to be deducted a large amount of points for nothing.

Fortunately, she was notified in advance that a new draft was out, which might make her feel better.

But when she appeared in front of the ancient magic office, she found that Cedric was blocking the door, did not go in, and did not find Hermione later.

But Hermione could still see some paleness on the side of Cedric's face.

They weren't from the same house, she hadn't spoken to Cedric, and she'd initially targeted him for fear of losing her job as a proofreader - which wasn't even a job at all. It can even be regarded as an occasional reading of the "Daily Prophet", except that you need to pick out typos by the way, which is extremely relaxing.

This time Hermione didn't talk to Cedric either, she looked into the office through the gap - she was frightened all of a sudden.

Opposite them, and also behind the desk, stands a thick pharaoh's coffin. It was originally placed horizontally, but it was deliberately erected so that the golden figure on the top of the coffin was facing the direction of the door. The faces are lifelike, especially the eyes, which are completely staring at them.

It's fine if that's the case, but there are still two human-shaped skeletons standing on both sides of the coffin, their heads are also rushing towards the door, and their empty eye sockets also seem to be staring at them.

In the rest of the places, they also saw a huge potted plant. They didn't know what kind of tree it was, but it looked like a human howling in pain.

Next to it was a blood-stained armor, holding a long ax in his hand, maintaining a posture of chopping towards potted plants.

A huge piece of ice was placed in the corner, slowly emitting a cold air. It seemed that something was frozen inside, but there was no trace of the ice melting at all.

There were more things Hermione didn't dare to look at anymore, because the atmosphere of the whole office seemed extremely weird, gloomy, completely different from usual, and the lights became dim.

Today's office always reminds Hermione of the cemetery under the moonlight. She finally understands why Cedric blocks the door, and she would not dare to go in.

At this moment, the pharaoh's coffin facing them slowly opened.

"Oh-oh-oh!" cried Cedric, pointing to the coffin, his exclamations becoming operatic.

Hermione was ready to turn around and run away, but suddenly heard a familiar voice——

"I really miss it, Al, as if the time hidden in the coffin was still yesterday."

"ah!"

"You're right, fortunately we ran fast enough later, otherwise the principal would have to send me a letter in the pyramid in the future—hey, why don't you come in?"

Toby smiled and waved to the two, he seemed in a good mood.

"It would be nice if the school had some kind of Halloween decoration competition."

"I'm definitely No.1."
