Hogwarts Archaeologist Toby

424 Toby and Dumbledore

Within a few days, Toby received another dinner invitation from Lily.

"Should I follow this time too?"

Angela asked inexplicably nervously. She already knew that Dumbledore would also be visiting the Potter family.

Although she now knows that her true identity is Arianna Dumbledore, it doesn't mean that her view of Albus Dumbledore has changed.

From the beginning to the end, Angela still maintained a slightly hostile attitude towards Dumbledore-now they understood what was going on: Although there was no memory left, some things were still deeply imprinted on Angela's mind. among the soul.

Dumbledore, for example, was the one who nearly killed her.

This gives a sufficient explanation for the source of everything - why Angela didn't like Dumbledore from the beginning - not only because of Toby, but also because of her own impression that she couldn't get rid of.

Toby didn't answer the question right away.

After putting away the letter, he asked: "What do you think of Dumbledore? Are you disgusted with him, or are you afraid? After all, he is the murderer who almost killed you."

Angela's silver long hair hung down, and she thought seriously for a while.

"Probably both." She said hesitantly.

"What about Aberforth?" Toby asked again: "I'm also very curious about this. Aberforth is different from Albus - he used to be very good to Ariana and was not so distant. Are you What do you think of him?"

This time, Angela shook her head without thinking much.

"I don't remember." She said disappointedly: "I have completely forgotten everything about Aberforth...perhaps including the biological mother who was killed by me. I don't remember it at all. I remember their existence, even after knowing my true identity, I don’t feel anything about these stories. Instead, I feel that these stories all happened to another person, and I don’t feel anything at all...although it is a bit weird , but that’s what I really think.”

Toby blinked, an indifferent expression on his face.

"In this way, the only people closest to you are Al and I, but this is no different from before. I would rather you forget them all, so as not to look upset in front of me. "

Angela glared at Toby angrily, and Al didn't hesitate to condemn his partner.

"Yeah!"

[Why do you have to say it so harshly? ! Don’t you know what it means to speak well? 】

"How could I possibly understand?" Toby stared at Al with strange eyes: "You are my patron saint. Now that we are separated, what good things can you expect to leave behind in this body?"

"Huh?" Al was asked, and it looked at Angela blankly, and Angela also looked at it blankly.

"How about you go back into its body?" Angela suggested in a low voice.

"Ah..." Al looked troubled.

If it does change back, is there still an Al after all?

What if Toby never casts the Patronus Charm for the rest of his life?

Do you want to hold back in Toby's heart for a lifetime?

"We will talk about this later." Toby waved his hand casually and said, "Although I am also very interested in this unknown magic, I still have to wait until Al and I study it together - let's change the topic first. Back to Angela - not only did my words sound bad, my thoughts were even worse."

"Do you know Dumbledore? He will definitely find a way to get you back to him, so as to make up for the mistakes he made when he was young-this is not only because you are Hai Erbo's Horcrux, but also because you even if you have forgotten all about their family."

"But I don't think you need to worry about it now. It's just right to forget about it. Then I can take you to see him with confidence, so that he can give up his heart—do you understand what I mean?"

"He killed you once. No matter whether he will correct this or not, I will not allow him to keep you by his side. I will not do such a knowingly stupid behavior."

Angela stared into Toby's eyes intensely.

"What about you?" Her voice was low, but it carried the meaning that Toby could not refuse.

"Did you keep me by your side because I am Angela, or because I am Halpo's only remaining Horcrux?"

At this moment, Al was on Angela's side again.It narrowed its small eyes, carefully feeling the feedback in Toby's heart.

It also wants to know the answer.

Toby's eyes widened, and he had a comically exaggerated face.

"Well...if I said that it's all there, but it's more important because you are Angela, would you believe it?"

Angela didn't immediately believe what Toby said, she turned to look at Al, until Al nodded suspiciously.

What Toby said turned out to be true.

Compared to Haierbo's Horcrux, Angela itself was more important to him.

"I knew it." Angela looked deeply moved. She wanted to hug Toby, and her eyes became moist.

"Even if you always used me as bait when exploring the temple, kicked me hard when you were taking pictures, and then lied to me about the Goblet of Fire for a whole year - but You still care about me, right?"

Toby put a big hand on Angela's face, and kept pushing her back: "Yeah, I really care about you, but this matter is different from what you think - you are just being pushed by Haier. As a tool to separate Dumbledore and me, I dare say that Hai Erbo must have other means of life-saving, so your Horcrux status is not fatal to Haier Bo—I have told you so much, you Did you hear clearly?"

Angela's face was distorted by Toby's pushing and pushing, and she turned her head to look at Al.

This time, Al nodded with certainty - Toby is such a person who doesn't understand romance and insists on making the atmosphere so cold.

"Give me the scepter." Angela said through gritted teeth. Al obediently took out the scepter from his belly pocket and handed it to her. By the way, he also controlled the magic ball and flew towards Toby.

"I warn you—especially you, Al, you can't betray me just because Angela is pitiful! Don't forget who is your partner!"

"ah!"

【I am your patron saint. What do you think can be left in my body—a bad mind like yours? ! 】

"Wow - that's not what you said when you bewitched the house elves! There is also a Wizards Liberation Front, that was all your idea - I'm warning you for the last time - stay away from me!"

"Al, bring me his shovel too!"

"ah!"

-----------------------

Godric's Hollow.

In recent days, occasionally nearby residents heard some movement at night, but after careful investigation, they found nothing.

Toby drove the magic car and stopped on a flat grassland. He looked through the car window at the rebuilt house not far away and the father and son playing dodgeball on a broom in the air further away. .

"How far have you expanded the protective spell?"

Toby got out of the car, and he rushed to Lily who was playing with cats and raccoons in front of the house and asked, "Who cast this spell? Is it also Dumbledore?"

Lily walked over with the strange black cat Nives in her arms. She also looked towards the sky over there. At this time, Harry and James had noticed the visiting guests and rushed towards them.

"Dumbledore wouldn't do such a boring thing. It was a shielding spell cast by James and his friends. The range was not as wide as you think - but James always used excuses - they flew so Come on, no Muggles will find out that wizards exist."

Angela, who also got out of the car, stared at the cat in Lily's arms for a while.

"If I remember correctly, this is a Madago cat, also called a magic cat, right? I heard from Toby that this kind of cat is specially guarded deep in the Ministry of Magic in France to ward off unwelcome The invaders."

"Dumbledore really helped me with this." Lily handed the harmless-looking demon cat in her arms to Angela. Unexpectedly, it jumped onto the grass, its body swelled up several times, and its claws became sharp. Yes, the eyes have also become very big, and the group of people who rushed to visit suddenly made a vigilant gesture——

"boom!"

Al raised his small shovel and hit it hard on the head, directly knocking the demon cat unconscious.

"I suggest you change to a beast." Toby looked at Al, who was sitting on the flying carpet and kept provoking the magic cat, and said: "I have tried their weight, and the small size is the difference that cannot be avoided. Much worse than Fire Dragon."

"That way we might end up with a new house soon."

James flew over them, made a nice sharp turn, and then landed in front of Toby and said, "Well, our house doesn't look bad, does it?"

Toby turned his head and looked around.

"It's hard to comment. After all, it's the first time I've come here. But you should also be thankful for this. If it were me before, nothing good will happen when I visit here."

He was bringing up the orchestrated murder of Petunia and Sirius again.

After Toby finished speaking, the expression on James' face became a little embarrassed.Lily greeted the magic cat to shrink again with a cold face, and jumped back into her arms.

"Let's go, Angela, we haven't officially met yet, and we just have the opportunity to show you our new home."

After Lily left with Angela and Al (it was still trying to tease the magic cat), Toby looked at James suspiciously and asked him what happened.

"Lily wiped the memory of the Vernon family." James whispered, "Now they've forgotten all about us."

He looked at Harry who was following behind and said, "This also includes Harry. Lily can't forgive her sister for treating her son like this, but she doesn't want to blame their family too much for their upbringing. "

Toby immediately said to Harry in a very serious tone, "See? That's what happens when you're too kind. Sometimes we have to ignore our inner feelings—"

"Don't mess with me!" James hurriedly stopped.

Toby didn't listen to him.

"Harry, tell me, what do you think I would do if I were Lily?"

Harry gave James a wary look, and he whispered, "Turning the Vernons into devils? It doesn't really kill them, but it makes them live in eternal pain."

Toby tilted his head and looked at Harry for a moment.

"I originally wanted to capture a dementor and live in their home for a period of time - but your method is much better than mine, but it remains to be confirmed whether Muggles can become devils. If this is true If it works, then I won’t have an endless army of devils..."

"Stop, stop, stop, stop!"

James couldn't listen anymore. He stretched out his hand to stop the two of them, and said frantically: "Stop talking to Harry about your crazy ideas - he doesn't have a devil now, and he is no longer a Horcrux." , no need to be involved."

Harry's demons were completely consumed by Toby the night after the Triwizard Tournament - as part of his plan to become Death.

Although he failed in the end, Toby couldn't possibly spit out Harry's demon again.

It’s gone, it’s gone.

As for the broken soul in Harry's body - with the help of Merlin, Harry is no longer Lily's Horcrux, he is finally free, and the lightning scar on his forehead has completely become a decoration, no longer has any other meaning.

Toby looked a little regretful about this result.

"what a pity."

"There is nothing to regret." James guarded Harry on the other side, and he stared at Toby tightly: "Don't try to experiment with my son in the future—"

"But we haven't tried the possibility of him making another devil—"

Harry blinked and asked, "Is this really possible, Professor? Now Ron is berating me in letters all day, saying that he doesn't want to be with a savior without a devil like me—"

"Stay away from him too!" James warned, pointing to Harry's nose, "Get closer to a good student like Hermione, although I always make trouble in school, I don't want you to become like this Students—mainly Lily doesn't want you to be like this."

"You won't think so after you read her collection of stories." Harry said nonchalantly, "By the way, we won't have a house elf in our family, right? It's best never to have one."

James raised his head in doubt, and when he saw Toby smiling at himself with a very strange smile, he suddenly felt very bad in his heart.

"Don't tell me that you have already stretched your claws on those poor elves now, and they haven't done anything wrong, so they won't be valued so much by you."

"There are many people I value."

Toby turned around and said, James and Harry also looked over curiously.

Under the night, in the distance of the path passing the house, a tall and straight figure was slowly walking towards them.

Harry suddenly became nervous for some reason. He looked up at Professor Heimer's face, trying to see something.

But nothing.

Toby just watched this scene silently, his long hair blocking his eyes, and his eyes staring at another visitor without blinking.

The black devil and the most powerful white wizard in the world finally met again.
