Hogwarts Archaeologist Toby

Severus Snape stared at Toby in silence for a moment, as if comparing the scruffy face in front of him with his memory.

"I thought you were dead."

Snape finally said.

Toby spread his hands helplessly: "Why are so many people looking forward to my death today? I really should have looked at the stars before going out."

Al held a multi-flavored bean and nodded vigorously, as if saying: That's it.

After noticing Snape's line of sight, Toby took the initiative to introduce: "It's called Al, it's my pet, and it can also be regarded as a partner. Compared with ordinary sniffing, it is particularly sensitive to the source of light. It was very important during the exploration of ancient ruins and saved my life many times."

"Ancient ruins?" Snape mocked with the corners of his mouth curled up, "Have you not given up on your whimsical ideas and wasted all your time exploring ancient ruins?"

"Oh." Toby countered mercilessly: "This is better than joining the Death Eaters. If Lily is still alive, I don't know what she will think of you."

"You!" Snape immediately became angry, and he stared at Toby viciously: "That's better than you, a coward who can only run away!"

Toby clicked his ears indifferently: "At least I didn't stand against Lily, nor was I an accomplice to kill her. Besides, what happened to the coward? I remember that Professor Slughorn also planned to escape, and your Actively join the difference, we have no intention of helping the mysterious person."

Snape stared at Toby like crazy: "You are not allowed to mention Lily's name again!"

Toby raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter, Severus? Why are you so excited? I thought you had forgotten her a long time ago. It's been so long, and her and James' children should also grow up. Come on. I still remember the scene when you parted ways - that 'Mudblood' curse included me, Severus."

Accompanied by a chaotic sound of hammers and hammers, Snape suddenly stood up and lifted the table.

Al suddenly jumped on Toby's shoulder. He looked at the multi-flavor beans scattered on the floor and shouted against Snape as the culprit.

The bar owner Wicky saw this scene from a distance, and Toby stretched out his hand to comfort him: "Please change the table, oh yes, let's have another order of multi-flavored beans."

While the house-elves were cleaning, Wicky came over and said, "I thought you were just catching up."

Toby looked at Snape with a smile and said, "My old classmate is really enthusiastic."

"After all, we haven't seen each other in years."

After the table was changed again, Snape suppressed his anger and sat down again.

He glanced at Weiqi, who was staring at this place, and said meaningfully: "Since graduation, you seem to have a lot of experience."

Toby replied casually, "You too, Severus."

This was the first time the two had met since graduating from Hogwarts.

Snape stayed in England, and Toby never went back.

They were students of the same class at Hogwarts and also from Slytherin House.

Snape has been seeking the approval of pure-blood students when he was in school. Of course, this is also related to his own love of black magic, so he will hang out with those "evil" students all day long.

But it wasn't a real friendship after all, at least Toby didn't see those "friends" stand up for Snape when he was bullied by James and the others.

Toby also didn't stand up for Snape, and he had few friends at school.

He was marginalized.

Slytherin House was not favored by students from other houses, and they all believed that only bad students would be assigned there. In addition, it happened to be the time when Voldemort was rising, which gave Slytherin House a deeper bad impression. Many upperclassmen were blatantly discussing whether to join the Death Eaters.

But Toby was different.

He had no intention of integrating into the Death Eaters, nor was he accepted by students from other houses.

Because he was the extremely rare Muggle-born assigned to a Slytherin house for many years.

This was simply unimaginable to Toby, and it was also true for everyone else.

Slytherin House has always been a house that pays attention to blood. Pure blood is the highest honor. How can a Mudblood be allowed to enter?

This made Toby lost for a long time at the beginning, not because of his Muggle-born status, but because he was not recognized.

Fortunately, there is still magic accompanying him.

For Toby, who has lived in the Muggle world since childhood, magic has always been the most attractive existence to him.

This strong interest allowed Toby to achieve extremely excellent results. Whether it was the O.W.L. examination or the N.E.W.T., his results in every subject were excellent.

This made him attract attention, and the best of them came from Professor Slughorn. He is a pure-blood wizard himself, but he doesn't judge a person because of his blood, but because of whether the other party is good enough, whether he has Enough "collection" value.

Toby's excellent grades made Professor Slughorn look upon him with special regard, and he was often willing to take advantage of him.

But good grades bring not only positive reactions, but also negative ones.

Toby was targeted by Voldemort, and the terrible Dark Lord would rather disregard Toby's blood to recruit him.

Of course, the means of solicitation are not so friendly.

It was impossible for Toby to agree to Voldemort's recruitment. The fact that he was a Muggle-born could not be changed. He also could not agree with Voldemort's concept of purifying his bloodline, nor could he forget his experiences as a student.

No bullying, no bullying, just cold treatment.

Fortunately, Toby's will is firm enough. He has been an orphan since he was a child, and he knows how to deal with himself and how to avoid trouble.

This is completely different from another fringe character - Severus Snape. Many times, it seemed to Toby that Snape was looking for trouble. Of course, it was difficult to explain this kind of thing later. The hatred between Snape and James had reached an irresolvable point, and tracing the source became meaningless. They are hard-wired to deal with it.

Toby was good at observing. He saw that Snape liked Lily very early on, but he couldn't say it out all the time.

As a result, Lily got together with James, whom she had always hated, and gave birth to a savior of the wizarding world, the Boy Who Lived - Harry Potter.

And this Harry seems to be related to the reason why Snape went to Egypt.

"Tell me about it."

Snape asked in the tone of an interviewer: "Harry Potter will also enroll this year, are you here just for him?"

"For the Boy Who Lived?"
