Hogwarts Archaeologist Toby

Wizard bonsai?

What wizard potted plant?

Ginny looked at Luna in a daze, and she remembered that Professor Angela, who was the substitute teacher before, had explained a wizard potted plant to the higher grade students. It is said that it was an immortal wizard, and Arnie What is it about.

But why did the wizard's potted plant disappear?

At this time, there was a noise from deep in the office.

Luna suddenly grabbed Ginny's arm and led her to run away from the office.

"Wait a minute!" Ginny said in surprise, "Could it be Mr. Al's disturbance?"

"I don't know." Luna said without looking back, "I just feel that something is wrong. Come on, Ginny, I feel like something bad is happening."

Just when the two arrived at the stairs, a beast-like shout suddenly came from the ancient magic office. It was sharp and piercing, resounding throughout the entire castle, and even far away to the Quidditch pitch.

It seems that some monster is about to wake up.

At this time, during the game between Gryffindor and Slytherin, Harry struggled to avoid the Bludger that seemed to be chasing him, and caught the Snitch in front of Malfoy's face, but because he now Clamping the broom with only two legs, he fell straight to the ground, trying not to let himself pass out, when he heard a cry of exclamation from the crowd below.

There was a bang, a splash, and Harry fell into the mud and rolled off the broom.His arms hung there at a very odd angle.In fits of agony, he heard many whistles and shouts, which seemed to come from a great distance.

But in the next second, these voices were all covered by the horrific cries in the castle. The students stopped cheering involuntarily. Professor McGonagall frowned and looked in the direction of the castle. Snape's expression changed from anger to became solemn.

"Perhaps we should put the game on hold," Snape said in a cold voice.

Professor McGonagall immediately retorted: "But the game is over. This is Gryffindor's victory. No one can take it away from me! And the most important thing now is to organize the students and ensure their success." Safe, especially until - before Dumbledore comes back."

Snape's gaze shifted from Professor McGonagall to Lockhart who was rushing to the field, he snorted coldly, and ordered the Slytherin prefects to call the students.

Harry saw the row of shiny teeth in a daze.

"Oh, no, no you," he moaned.

"Don't know what he's talking about," Lockhart said loudly to the anxious Gryffindors gathered around. "Don't worry, Harry. I'm about to fix your arm."

"No!" Harry said, "Just leave it like this, thank you..."

He wanted to sit up, but his arm hurt too much. He heard a familiar clicking sound next to him.

"I don't want to take pictures like this, Colin," he said aloud.

At this moment, a second, more terrifying sound came from the castle, and the entire venue was in silence. Colin put down the camera in fear: "Oh my God, it turns out that was not an illusion..."

But Lockhart didn't seem to hear him. On the contrary, he sped up the speed of "treating" Harry: "Okay, kid, it seems we are in a hurry. This is just a simple spell. I have used it countless times." That’s it, don’t worry——”

said Lockhart, rolling up his emerald green sleeves.A second later, he aimed his wand at Harry's arm.

"Don't - don't -" Harry said weakly.

After a spell flashed, a strange, very uncomfortable feeling shot like lightning from Harry's shoulders to the tips of his fingers. It was as if his arms were being drained. He turned his face to one side.

Protruding from his sleeve, it looked like a thick, flesh-colored rubber glove.He tried to move his fingers, but there was no response.

Lockhart hadn't set Harry's bones properly.

He removed all the bones.

"Ha," said Lockhart, "yes, yes, that happens sometimes. Excuse me, I've got to get to the castle, Professor McGonagall, wait for me! "

At the same time, in the ancient magic office, Toby, who was shrouded in a black robe, stood up straight at some point. He moved his body a little bit, but he looked extremely stiff, like a marionette being manipulated, terrifying and terrifying. weird.

On his covered face, white ribbons like tentacles were constantly extending out, and then they were dyed black in the blink of an eye, and then retracted little by little into the black mist under the hood, repeated over and over again, as if he was experiencing What horrible torture.

Through the black fog, you could vaguely see something opening, and then in the next second, another terrifying roar came from the mouth of the Pharaoh's mask, which was louder than the last two combined.

"boom!"

Almost at the same time, the disappearing cabinet in the corner of the office was kicked open, and Angela came out holding a scepter taller than herself. The whole body was milky white, not so straight, and the top was shaped into a thick The shape of the crown is inlaid with a circle of gorgeous bright red gemstones, which looks like blood stained on the surface of a corpse.

Al was sitting on Angela's shoulder. It found Toby who was silently fighting against the pharaoh's mask. He took out his pocket and threw a magic ball, quickly forming a magic circle under Toby's feet, covering his whole body. They are all shrouded in, so that Toby's actions are restrained a little bit.

Angela strode to the opposite side of Toby, her long silver-white hair raised behind her head, her white skirt facing the pitch-black witch robe, and through the black mist, the two eyes met.

"Quickly..." Toby said with difficulty.

Angela seemed to know what to do now better than Toby. She waved her scepter and pointed the tip of the wand at the black mist under the hood. The rubies on the crown bloomed together, and the red smoke disappeared in the blink of an eye. It filled the whole room, as if something was being released, roaring louder than the Pharaoh's mask, and even making sounds of biting each other.

Angela stood in the middle of the dense fog with her eyes closed, and Al looked at her anxiously, wanting to urge her, but dared not speak.

"I order you!"

Angela suddenly opened her eyes and said, a few drops of blood-red tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, her tone was full of majesty.

The tears floated to the scepter in her hand, fell on the surface of the crown at the top, and melted into the ruby ​​drop by drop. The color turned dark red in an instant and began to tremble. In the last unwilling roar, the red smoke finally began to dissipate, and the scepter returned to calm.

As for Toby, he has been locked up in the Pharaoh's coffin again. Along the gap in the cover, the black and white ribbon was violently torn back, and there was no more movement.

Al stretched out his paw to take back the magic ball, and he was finally able to make a sound and urge: "Yeah!"

Angela's eyes changed from struggling desperately to normal, she nodded lightly, and said weakly, "I see."

On the other side, the professors who rushed back to the castle quickly dispersed, trying to find the source of the sound. Valley

Unexpectedly, Snape and the proud Lockhart chose the same path—both leading to the Office of Ancient Magic.

"Aha!" Lockhart said while running hard: "It seems that you and I have thought together, Professor Snape, yes, I understand, this is very simple, isn't it? What can cause such anomalies? It can only be a professor who is not present, and it must be Professor Heimer.”

Snape looked at him coldly.

"You don't need to explain anything to me." He said coldly.

Lockhart immediately closed his mouth, his face looking a little unnatural.

They were running up the stairs one after another. When they were about to reach the fifth floor, they suddenly saw someone walking down from the top - the first one was Angela holding a scepter. Al stood restlessly. On her shoulder, her eyes were fixed on the armor holding the long ax behind her. On the other half of the armor's shoulder, she carried the huge pharaoh's coffin, and walked down the stairs with heavy steps.

"I think I've seen this armor before..." Lockhart whispered.

Snape said angrily: "Damn Toby, I knew there would be a day when he would kill everyone because of ancient magic—"

"This has nothing to do with ancient magic." Angela interrupted loudly: "It's the monster in the secret room. It attacked Toby again, and it was far more serious than the last time. It almost killed him. We need a carriage. , now. Severus Snape, if you still consider Toby a friend."

Snape had a cold face. He met Angela's gaze and turned around suddenly. The witch robe was raised high behind him, like a bat disappearing around the corner of the stairs, and he quickly hurried back to the castle along the same path. Outside.

Lockhart did not leave. He immediately stepped forward and asked, "Is there anything I can do to help? I believe I will be able to solve Professor Hemmer's problem. I heard you mentioned the monster in the secret room. Just wait for me to prepare." Once it’s ready, it won’t be a problem.”

The five-time winner of "Wizard Weekly"'s Most Charming Smile Award failed in front of Angela. She walked straight down the stairs in front of Lockhart and dropped a cold word: "As long as you don't think about taking advantage of this opportunity. Go steal something from Toby's office—"

"I was just caring about my colleagues!" Lockhart shouted at her back. Unfortunately, Angela had no intention of staying and quickly disappeared at the end of the stairs.

After Angela walked away, Lockhart muttered to himself in confusion: "I seem to have really seen that armor - not just the notebook, but also the day when I became confused... ..”

He suddenly became terrified—could it be that Professor Haimo had already been eyeing him?

"When did it start...?"

As he ran down the stairs, he thought in fear: "Does it start at the beginning of school? Or is it earlier than this?"

Everyone who went downstairs did not meet the professors who had dispersed, which greatly reduced Angela's burden of explanation and allowed her to quickly walk out of the castle gate and arrive at the school playground in front of a group of students. , the crowd automatically gave way under her cold aura, separated a path, and held back the exclamations in their throats.

"I said..." Ron, who was standing at the back of the crowd, stepped hard and said while using his neck: "Why is Professor Angela back? There is also the Pharaoh's coffin. What is in it? Is it a secret room? A monster? Or... or Professor Heimer? It can't be a mummy, right?"

Harry, who was being supported by Ron, was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He couldn't ignore what Ron said—monster? Professor Highmore?Or are the two actually the same thing?

"Look!" Hermione suddenly pointed in the direction of Hagrid's hut and shouted: "They went that way, and Snape seems to be there too!"

Not only Snape, but even Hagrid was there. He was comforting the Thestrals in front of the carriage, and looked anxiously at Angela who was rushing fast and the coffin behind her.

"I heard that Toby was injured again?" Hagrid asked, "Why is it him again? Is he being targeted?"

"It looks like this." Angela said hastily, and she opened the door of the carriage, so that the armor could send the coffin inside - the Untraceable Stretching Curse had been cast in time.

Angela glanced at Snape. This was obviously his handiwork. An ordinary school carriage could not hold such a large coffin.

After putting the coffin in place, Armor also walked into the carriage. It pressed the long ax on top of the coffin and sat on the side of the carriage.

Before anyone else could make a move, Snape wanted to enter the carriage, but was stopped by Angela.

"Relax." Snape glanced sideways at Angela and said, "I am only temporarily replacing Dumbledore. When the principal learns the news and rushes over, I will leave naturally."

"I'm afraid this is not appropriate." Angela said: "You don't know what you are going to face next. Even Dumbledore can't help Toby. It must be someone who has experienced those adventures with him. .”

She said as she walked around Snape and walked in.

However, right in front of her, the armor sitting in the carriage reached out and closed the door.

Al performed the stunt shown in the photo, hanging it upside down from the top of the scepter in Angela's hand, and stuffed the entire scepter into his belly pocket in one fell swoop.

Just when none of them recovered, it was already sitting at the front of the carriage, reached out and grabbed the rein, and patted hard: "Ah!"

"What are you doing?!" Angela shouted in surprise, "Give me back the scepter quickly, and make room for me, I have no place to sit."

Al pointed to the corner of Angela's eyes, obviously implying the scene of Angela using the scepter in the office just now. It was very unwise to put the scepter here.

Without insurance, that could kill Angela at any time.

"What are you kidding?" Angela grabbed the side of the rein hard, lest Al really leave like this: "Whether it's going to the temple or the pyramid, you all need me, don't you? Could it be that you Have you found other helpers?"

Al shook his head with a heavy expression. It had already found all the helpers.

Then it pushed away Angela's palm, and patted the Thestral's body again: "Ah!"

The Thestral in front of the carriage spread its wings and flew high into the sky with the carriage, and soon disappeared into the clouds.

This time, Angela didn't stop Al again.

"What are you doing?" Snape asked with a frown: "A Niffler and a pair of armor, can they save Toby?"

"Where are they planning to go?"

Angela looked at the sky until the carriage disappeared, and then she slowly said a name: "Ghost Castle."

Immediately afterwards, whether it was Hagrid with a confused face or Snape whose eyes suddenly changed, they all heard Angela's evaluation of this mysterious place.

"Of all the ancient ruins, that's where Toby came closest to death."
