Hogwarts Archaeologist Toby

Ron looked at Neville, who had only the hilt of the sword left in his hand. He was stunned for a few seconds, but then Hermione immediately rushed towards him——

"And you!"

Hermione shouted while slapping him: "I have never seen someone as stubborn as you, who has no brains at all, and is still being deceived. Are you so proud of living in the magical world since you were a child?!"

Ron didn't dare to take the initiative to hit Neville, and naturally he didn't dare to attack Hermione, but Hermione's shot speed was much faster than Neville's. Ron always couldn't stand it, and he screamed in pain.

"Ah! Oh! Hiss! It hurts! Don't! Ah——"

Harry and Neville didn't know what to do, so they could only stand aside and watch Ron being beaten up by Hermione.

After the two fought for a while, there was another click, and the wooden sword in Ron's hand broke, and he watched Hermione slap him on the arm at a rapid speed——

"Crack!"

Now, the last wooden sword is gone.

Hermione stared at Ron, panting heavily.

Ron covered his arms tightly and did not dare to speak. He suddenly thought that the duel seemed to be over, so would they also be expelled?

At this moment, Toby stood up again, and he strode up to Ron, rolling up the sleeve of his arm that was hit last.

Ron thought his arm was swollen at first, but now he realized that nothing happened, and Harry wasn't bruised and bruised. Only the pain seemed to be real.

A broken wooden sword flew in front of Toby, and he held it in the air and showed it: "Did you see the scratches on it? This is a special magic circle that only conveys pain, but not the real injury. "

He glanced at everyone's face separately: "Do you know what this means?"

No one dared to speak. Hermione looked at Toby carefully, her eyes looking a little guilty.

Neville was still panting, looking like he had no strength left.Ron and Harry only dared to gently rub the sore spots on their bodies.

"It means this will be extra homework for you,"

Toby said sternly: "Learn this magic circle before the next class, and those who can't do it will continue to be locked up!"

After leaving the office, Harry, Ron and Neville's minds were still foggy.

"So...we don't have to be expelled?" Ron was surprised.

Hermione, who was walking in the front, snorted and disdain to talk to him.

Under constant questioning from Harry and Ron, Hermione raised her chin and explained: "The loser will be expelled. In this case, only if there is a tie, no one will be punished. But this is a duel, with a wand." It would be difficult to draw a tie, but a wooden sword can do it, as long as all the wooden swords are broken."

"That's why Hermione hit her hard and fast at the end." Harry explained, "Otherwise it would be too late to break the last wooden sword."

"Oh..." Ron nodded stupidly: "I thought you really wanted to beat me to death."

Hermione snorted again, she hadn't fully forgiven the two of them, otherwise she wouldn't have hit them that much just now.

At this time, Harry and Ron no longer felt pain. This was obviously the function of the magic circle, which would not allow the pain to last too long.

"Thank you, Hermione."

Harry said sincerely that she had just resolved another crisis for several people without getting anyone fired.

"Hmph!" Hermione ignored him.

"I'm sorry, Hermione." Ron also apologized: "If it doesn't work, just hit me a few more times. It'll be fine in a while anyway."

They also took away the broken wooden sword, so that they could learn the magic circle better. Toby was serious about explaining the homework.

"Humph!" The grudge in Hermione's heart has not been completely resolved.

At this moment, Neville suddenly burst into tears, startling the three of them.

"Why are you crying again?" Hermione asked confused, and Harry and Ron quickly comforted him.

"I...I'm so happy." Neville cried.

He had managed to keep the crystal ball that healed his parents, and even though Toby never mentioned it, that was what Neville thought.

Strange to say, they walked back to the common room together. In the process of comforting Neville, Hermione finally stopped being so indifferent. Ron and Harry quickly seized the opportunity to apologize, and finally Hermione snorted and left , but this sound was obviously not so angry.

"Well done, Neville." Ron said sleepily: "Your crying really helped a lot."

Neville rubbed his eyes suspiciously, he didn't feel that he was helping, and he was crying sincerely, completely unaware of the role he had played.

Ron turned his head to Harry: "Did you hear the trap door Hermione said?"

Hermione was the only one who had seen the trapdoor in the forbidden room on the fourth floor and hadn't told them about it until just now.

Harry kept thinking about it, and it was obvious that the three-headed dog was guarding something, and the packet in vault 713 was probably hidden behind a trapdoor.

"There's another thing." Harry reminded: "Didn't you hear what Hermione said? Professor Heimer might have noticed her little tricks, but he didn't punish us. Why do you think this was possible? "?

"Maybe it's just because he didn't see it?" Ron said: "The scene was so chaotic at the time, how could everything be seen, anyway, Hermione's last hit hurt me a lot, this magic circle is really amazing, Causes pain, doesn't hurt—"

His eyes suddenly widened in horror: "Isn't this a magic circle specially used for corporal punishment of students?"

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

"This is education."

In the ancient magic office, Toby finally smiled, but Snape looked gloomy.

"Speaking of which, I learned this from Principal Dumbledore." As if he didn't see the expression on Snape's face, Toby continued: "The work of education is not limited to the classroom. There are also a lot of things that need to be spent on—"

"Are you referring to being specifically called to give a lecture?" Snape said coldly, "Then you have indeed received an extraordinary education."

"Hey, Severus, what's the use of getting angry at me." Toby smiled, "Don't blame me for the mistakes of their four children. It's not my fault that Harry Potter didn't get expelled." , I just gave them a chance to draw, and they caught them. Thinking about it this way, these kids are not that stupid, at least Miss Granger is not."

Snape squinted at him: "But Dumbledore would never physically punish students, let alone treat students in such a rough way as you."

"Tsk tsk tsk." Toby shook his head: "The headmaster is very patient, he is willing to call a student to the office to chat and talk. But don't forget, I am not a Gryffindor after all—"

"A true Slytherin."
