Hogwarts Archaeologist Toby

The atmosphere on the table suddenly froze.

After downing another glass of red currant rum, Fudge was clearly drunk, but his eyes remained clear.

Sirius legend?

Could it be the Sirius legend he was thinking of?

"I said, you're going to be in this—"

"The story of Sirius, or the story of Black, is fine with me."

"Yeah, Sirius. How much are you going to add to him?"

Facing Fudge's question, Toby said in a matter-of-fact tone: "Of course it's all. Since the name is called The Legend of Sirius, there is no reason not to tell the story clearly - you can start with the enrollment, no I know if you know it well, Sirius is the only known member of the Black family to be sorted into Gryffindor House in the past hundred years. This is rare enough - if you don’t believe it, you can ask Lupine. He was with Black when he was in school. He is a good friend and knows everything about him."

Lupine nodded silently, Snape snorted coldly, but didn't say anything more.

What Toby said was right, Sirius was definitely a wonderful work of the Black family.It was fine that he was not assigned to Slytherin House according to the convention, but he could still be a student of Gryffindor—these two houses have always had a strong competitive relationship, which has been a tradition since ancient times.

At least from this point of view, he resisted fiercely against his family.

Regarding the drama, even if Toby didn't announce it with much fanfare, Lupine and Snape could still get part of the news from other people.Now that rehearsals have begun, it is not difficult to know this information.

Lupine didn't expect Toby to do this. He knew a lot of grievances between Sirius and Toby. It was an important turning point to start with Slytherin - so, in a way, Sirius' rebellion against Slytherin House was regarded by Toby as his betrayal of himself.

It is betrayal.

At that time, little Toby thought that he was the most decent Slytherin, and sooner or later he would achieve greater achievements than Slytherin himself, and vaguely occupied the later Slytherin House with a master mentality.

As a result, no one expected that a restless guy like Sirius would appear in Hogwarts.

In addition, Snape, Sirius and James have never dealt with each other. As a result, the two sides accumulated a lot of conflicts. In the end, it was difficult to explain what was going on - everyone If you want to seize the opportunity to tease the other person severely, it doesn't matter even if you kill a life.

Toby did this, and he believed that Snape must have thought so too. Otherwise, why would Snape invent a spell like Shen Feng Wu Ying, which is specifically designed to deal with flesh and blood, and leave scars that will never heal, just to teach those two guys a lesson.

Well, Toby naturally excludes himself from the reason why Shenfeng Wuying was invented.In the end, Toby still suffered a lot because of this spell—it’s hard to say whether the reason for Snape’s attack when he was in the carriage just now had something to do with Toby’s arrangement of such a drama—it sounds like he misses Sirius, how could he With such a reputation?It should be trampled underfoot so hard that it won't be able to turn over until it dies.

There was a long silence at the table, and since Toby's answer, Fudge and Scrimgeour looked at each other, and then said nothing.

The reactions of the three people on the opposite side made Fudge unable to figure out what was going on for a while—he was not surprised that Haimer would find a helper, but the wonderful appearance just now was enough to shock people. Not to mention that among the two, Lupine was more likely to come under threat. As for Snape - no need to look, this guy must be Highmore's enemy.

But Fudge's psychological preparation in advance was to find more black devils, at least at the level of Death Eaters.As a result, the reality was different from what he had imagined, a very big difference.

At this time, Scrimgeour suddenly spoke, his brows were frowned tightly: "If I heard correctly, you are planning to re-enact the experience of Sirius being wronged and imprisoned? I want to tell you Yes, it was a time when even the Aurors were free to use the Unforgivable Curse, and it was tougher than you can imagine—"

"Yes, I know very well." Toby interrupted with a wave of his hand. "I also know that this is not good for the Ministry of Magic, so are there any other questions?"

Scrimgeour was dissatisfied with Toby's reaction, but he did not ask any more questions, leaving the most important question to Fudge.

"Are you going to mention anyone else in this show?" Fudge said pointedly. He didn't care about that much now, and suddenly realized that the carriage that had just been blown up might be a warning.

If Toby Highmore can blow up that carriage, does that mean he can blow up this bar just as easily?

"Don't forget the agreement between us." Fudge continued to remind: "And don't forget why we held this celebration-it must be revealed to the outside world that the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts have reunited news, or we'll all be in big trouble."

His eyes were red when he said these words. It was obvious that he had not slept well for a long time, and it was difficult to sleep well. There were many aspects to just getting rid of the suspicion of colluding with Grindelwald. Difficulties to deal with.

The International Confederation of Wizards had grown increasingly dissatisfied with his behaviour.

"Yes, I also know the purpose of the celebration, Minister." Toby said in a slow tone, causing Fudge's brows to twitch again, and he gradually calmed down after confirming that the nearby Aurors hadn't gone far.

"Then why do you insist on arranging the Legend of Sirius?" He asked vaguely angrily.

"Because there won't be any wizards in this drama." Toby still said in that casual tone: "It's magical animals. To be precise, they are the pets of Hogwarts school and professors."

The expression on Fudge's face was a bit dazed, but Scrimgeour was the first to come to his senses. He investigated Toby very clearly and knew what he had done recently.

"Anti-demon glasses?" He asked, "Are you trying to sell your own products?"

"Wrong." Toby said, shaking a finger left and right: "It's not my product, but Hogwarts's—forget it, let's say the Dark Devil Foundation."

The corners of Fudge's mouth twitched. He really didn't want to hear the name "Black Devil", even if it had a foundation in its name.

Toby ignored his expression and continued: "This is just a simple drama. It won't be very complicated. Even if you want to be complicated, it is difficult to do it. The students' pets can't understand human speech - but if they can To be clearer, that would be terrible, I don't want to find a second Peter Pettigrew."

Fudge listened to Toby's sarcasm, and his expression became a little ugly.But what does it matter to him?That was a problem left by the previous minister, and it was not caused by him.

"So—" Toby continued, "If it wasn't for such a name, probably not many people would understand that this is the life of acting Sirius Black."

Fudge was gradually reassuring, but he still had one most important question to ask.

"Who's behind the scenes?" He asked, "Who are you going to think is behind the scenes?"

He just had to ask directly whether to choose Voldemort or Grindelwald.

This is also the main reason for the recent troubles. If it weren't for being so entangled in the handling of Gellert Grindelwald, and Dumbledore was still holding on to the issue of dementors, there would be so many things.

"The man behind this will not be a person, but a symbol."

Toby stared at Fudge closely and said: "Any wizard may become this symbol, minister, so we must be careful and cautious enough to never confuse enemies with friends, otherwise it will be difficult for everyone."

Fudge heard what Toby meant, and it was obviously Grindelwald again—Toby was warning himself not to have any contact with Grindelwald.

"I hope you can guarantee that too."

Fudge said that he was not angry because of Toby's threat. He really meant it. If it weren't for the recent tension between him and Dumbledore, Fudge would have brought the headmaster with him. He wouldn't Hopefully there will suddenly be an enemy like Toby Highmore. According to the clues and evidence collected, this person has always been involved in many families with a long history, and has a lot of influence for a long time.

Toby frowned and stared at Fudge, thinking that Fudge had not yet grasped his intentions.

Kingsley of course!What are you keeping him for?Waiting to rescue Grindelwald again?

Do I have to do it myself?

Well, it seems that it is not impossible, as long as the celebration is over - no, we can't wait that long, it is best to control Kingsley before that, and force him to ask difficult questions about the magic ball.

As for the principal - even though Dumbledore had promised to go to Nurmengard, it was just a second-hand preparation.

There is never too much preparation, and the more the better.

"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing."

Just as Fudge was about to leave, he suddenly heard Toby speak again. He really felt that he should not drink the remaining red currant rum, otherwise he would have left the bar long ago.

"What's the matter?" Fudge asked, "If it's a difficult question for the Ministry of Magic, please forgive me for not agreeing, and you can't add any more conditions."

"No, no, no." Toby said, shaking his fingers, "Don't worry, I'm not here to cause trouble for you, but to help you solve it."

"You mean surrender yourself?" Scrimgeour sneered.

Toby said disdainfully: "Surrender yourself? Do you think that dementors alone can control me? Or do you think Azkaban is too strong? Think you can trap everyone? How was Sirius rescued?"

The answer is of course that the culprit is right in front of Scrimgeour, but unfortunately this has become a mystery, and the closest guess is that Black is an Animagus that has never been registered, which happens to be the weakness of dementors , they cannot sensitively sense the emotional changes of animals.

Seeing that Scrimgeour would continue to argue, Fudge said impatiently: "Tell me what's the matter? I have to attend a meeting later, and I don't have that much time."

"Sirius Black's body," said Toby, "then it should be in the Ministry of Magic, am I right? How long do you want to wait, Pettigrew and Sirius, you have to choose one, right? Otherwise It’s hard to change the atmosphere outside.”

Fudge was obviously moved, and the handling of Pettigrew was very tricky. It involved the International Court of Justice and the International Council of Wizards, neither of which was easy to deal with.

But Sirius was different. He was dead now, and there was only one corpse left, which would have to be buried sooner or later.

"Buried with his parents?" asked Fudge.

"No." Toby shook his head and said, "How can that work, it's not attractive at all-don't get excited, Remus, I think people like Sirius would want to show off even at his own funeral of."

"You're talking about James," Lupine corrected. "The showman is James."

"Of course." Snape was no longer silent. He twisted the corner of his mouth and said, "You will never find someone as showy as him, like a clown——"

Seeing that another quarrel was about to happen, Fudge quickly intervened: "Stop, stop, stop, the meeting I mentioned is true. There are only five minutes left. If it's later, we won't be able to catch up."

"It won't take five minutes." Toby raised a finger and said: "Less than a minute is enough - I plan to arrange Sirius's body in the last scene of Sirius's biography, which not only symbolizes the end of the drama, but also his The ending of life - a very wonderful idea, what do you think? In addition, have you protected Sirius's body? Don't make the scene too ugly. Even if you don't need students to perform, you can still scare the cats and dogs. not good."

"Where did the dog come from?" Scrimgeour asked warily: "I don't remember that students in the school are allowed to treat dogs as pets. Is this a secret weapon between you and Dumbledore?"

"Ha!" Toby laughed loudly: "Weapons? You really have yours. You just keep an eye on the pets in the school, and you waste an afternoon here and afternoon tea. Are you free, Director Scrimgeour? "

"Enough, enough, enough." Fudge shouted: "It's up to you. This method may make those stubborn guys change their minds. After a while, I will have Black's body sent to the school. ——Do you have a place to accept it? I don’t know if there is a morgue in the castle.”

"It's very simple." Toby said with satisfaction: "It's still too late to build one before you die."

Lupine was already in grief.

Snape squinted his eyes and stared at Toby. He just felt that the more he heard it, the more outrageous it became - wanted Sirius's body?

Forget about drama, but Toby would never be able to do this.

At the same time, on the other side, unlike Toby who successfully got the skeleton back, Al encountered trouble, which in its view was simply a big trouble.

Pig's Head Bar, it stood on the dirty bar, banged the table hard, and barked angrily.

Ginny carefully translated on the side: "Even if you don't give liquor, you can still get a glass of cold beer, right? Business...that's not how business works."

Aberforth wiped the glass with a rag to make it more and more dirty, and then slapped it on the table, causing Al to shrink back in fright, and Ginny hurriedly protected him.

"Don't act like you're buying a glass of wine from me." He said in a stiff tone: "Now, all of you, get out of here quickly. This is not the place you should be. Get out of here!"
