Hogwarts Archaeologist Toby

Toby sent the unconscious Mundungus to the school hospital. Ms. Pomfrey hurried over, and she was startled by Mundungus who was foaming at the mouth.

"Who is this man? What's wrong with him?"

"Black magic potion, or a curse." Toby said with a gloomy face: "There is also the Imperius Curse. Mundungus must have been controlled by the Imperius Curse. Can you save him?"

"The...Imperius Curse?"

Ms. Pomfrey realized that the situation was more critical than she had imagined. The Imperius Curse was one of the three unforgivable curses, and any wizard found using the Imperius Curse would be sent to Azkaban.

The ward suddenly became very busy, and Toby also helped a lot. He also has rich experience in dealing with curses.

Finally, after being fed the last dose of potion, Mundungus's face finally became much more normal, but he was still unconscious and did not wake up.

"The exact time of waking up is still uncertain, but there shouldn't be any major problems." Madam Pomfrey wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "The principal—"

"I have informed the principal." Toby said, "Thank you for your hard work, ma'am."

Madam Pomfrey nodded and left the ward.

Toby didn't leave, he already figured out what happened tonight - the thief who tried to steal the Philosopher's Stone was eyeing Hogwarts, the thief not only knew that the Philosopher's Stone was hidden in Hogwarts, but also knew Lu Wei was replaced by an armored guard, and the target was on himself.

But this mysterious thief was very cautious. The other party did not show up in person, but contacted him through Mundungus, and planned to use the news of the Death Castle to find a way to crack the armor guard.

However, the other party's plan was doomed to fail. Toby was already secretly vigilant when he heard the "old castle", and did not write the real key information with a real pen.

But Toby still couldn't figure out one thing. He found that the parchment used for the transaction was still on Mundungus and had not been taken away by the thieves. Did the other party also expect that this time it would be a failure? Is that why you gave up Mundungus in advance?

But in any case, Toby at least wanted to understand one thing-the thief must have an internal response in Hogwarts, otherwise he would not know the fact that Lu Wei was replaced by armor.

At this moment, two more people walked into the ward one after another, but none of them was Principal Dumbledore.

Snape walked in front with a gloomy face, and Quirrell followed timidly behind him.

They saw Toby and also saw Mundungus lying on the hospital bed.

Snape's eyes tightened, while Quirrell seemed taken aback.

"You called us here at night just to let us see a patient?" Snape stared at Toby with an evil look: "He was injured by your own hands?"

Toby carefully observed the expressions on the faces of the two people. He knew that on the night when Lu Wei lost control, these two people were the first to appear in the rightmost corridor of the fourth floor.

"I need to check your wands."

Toby threatened unabashedly: "Don't make it difficult for me. I just need to use the flashback spell to see if you have cast the Imperius Curse with your own wand. Hand over your wand."

While Toby was speaking, he had already aimed his wand at the two of them, and the door of the ward was suddenly closed forcefully, isolating the movement in the room.

Quirrell looked terrified, and Snape's brow furrowed tightly.

"Are you serious? Are you serious about bringing your bad habits to Hogwarts and randomly checking other people's wands, Toby?"

"I'm not kidding, Severus. Just tonight, the person lying in the hospital bed almost died. The seriousness of the matter is beyond my imagination, and the thieves have already targeted me. It is possible to cast the Imperius Curse on me at any time, don't force me to do it."

Toby did not hide his doubts about the two at all, Snape's face was livid with anger.

Quirrell stammered and said: "Don't-don't do this, for-for-why don't you find-find Principal Dumbledore, he must have-has a way."

"I have already notified him, and it is estimated that I will be there in a while." Toby was still staring at the two of them, and he said to himself: "I believe the principal will make the same choice."

"Do you really think so?" Snape asked.

"But he hasn't come yet." Toby said, sparks followed from the tip of his wand.

Both of them already understood Toby's plan. He obviously decided to take action regardless of Dumbledore's obstruction, let alone the so-called consequences.

This is also the reason why Dumbledore did not tell Toby about his suspicion of Quirrell - because he has always had no scruples.

"Take it."

Snape said stiffly, throwing his wand to Toby.

Quirrell could only hand over the wand tremblingly.

"Thank you." Toby said sincerely. He took the wands from the two of them: "If there is no problem, I will apologize to you. I also hope that I will do the same after a while."

Snape snorted, and Quirrell showed an ugly smile.

Toby raised his wand and connected it with Snape's.

"Flashback!" Toby roared.

Just where the two wands meet, a stream of thick gray smoke emerges, gradually forming a smiling face, like a ghost.

"A euphoria."

Toby glanced at Snape. This spell was the one needed to make the euphoria potion.

"Pre-flashback curse!" Toby continued to shout without stopping immediately.

In the next few spells, Toby saw the spells needed to prepare other potions, including demulcents, madness potions, hate potions, etc., but there was no Soul Imperius Curse.

"Sorry, Severus."

Toby had no choice but to say, handing the wand back to Snape, and at the same time gave him a dark look.

He believed in Snape more, so he checked Snape's wand in advance. In this way, if Quirrell was the thief, it would be easier to join forces to subdue Quirrell.

Snape took the wand back without saying a word, and deliberately rubbed it on his witch's robes, showing a disgusted expression.

But he still inadvertently narrowed his eyes and held the wand in his hand, consciously or unconsciously on guard.

Quirrell visibly tensed up.

"Flash back to the previous curse!"

Under the gaze of three eyes, Quirrell's wand also showed the spells he had used before - the repel spell, the stun spell, the iron armor spell... It was as if Quirrell had experienced a big battle not long ago.

"Yes-yes-it's a troll."

Quirrell quickly explained: "I plan to listen to your suggestion, catch a giant monster in the Forbidden Forest, and then demonstrate how to defeat the giant monster in class."

"Sorry, Professor Quirrell."

Quirrell's wand also left no traces of the Imperius Curse. Toby returned the wand to him: "If you want to catch the troll, come to me. I can help."

Quirrell pulled out a smile that was uglier than crying and did not answer this sentence.

The suspicions of both people were eliminated, and Toby also cast a flashback spell on Mundungus' wand, but there was also no trace of using the Imperius Curse.

This is a little strange.

Toby recalled the whole incident again. He failed to find out the insider of Hogwarts, but instead called the two professors to the school hospital.

Before that, Mundungus failed to pass on the news. It seems that the thieves had no intention of obtaining useful key information from Toby from the beginning, and he was deliberately diverted. Hogwarts tonight The defense force has become much weaker——

"Oops!"

Toby suddenly said: "The thief has probably gone to steal the magic stone!"

"This is a rare opportunity tonight!"
