Hogwarts Archaeologist Toby

Toby sat obediently opposite Dumbledore, but in a short period of time, he had exchanged glances with Al for countless times, and both of them had malicious expressions.

Dumbledore said helplessly: "Toby, the reason why I said these things is because I know that after what happened at the Pig's Head Bar tonight, you will definitely not let it go. But my frankness is not in exchange for your Unscrupulous - Quirrell may have a problem, but there is no way to prove it must be related to the Philosopher's Stone."

"Of course I know, Principal."

Toby immediately changed into a swearing expression: "I know what to do - no need for Veritaserum, but do you know the dream messenger?"

"Dream Messenger...are you referring to the special enrollment method of Wagadu Magic School?"

"Yes, that's it."

Wagadu is a magic school located in the Moon Mountains of Uganda, Africa. It is the largest of all magic schools, as it admits students from all over Africa.

The students who were allowed to study in Waggadu learned the news from the then principal through the dream messenger.The dreamer will leave a token for the child when they sleep - usually a stone with an inscription.When the child wakes up, he will find that he is holding it in his hand.No other school uses this method of student selection.

Al took a stone with the inscription on it from his belly pocket, and gave it to Toby.

Toby continued to explain: "Do you remember Angela? She was originally a saint from one of the tribes in Africa. Now she is the vice principal of Wagadu Magic School. As long as she agrees, I can bring the Dream Messenger If I borrow it for a short time and then use the ability of the dream messenger to spy on Quirrell's dream, he will definitely not be able to detect anything strange and will truthfully tell me all the information I want to know."

The reason why Toby is so sure is because Dream Messenger was originally a method used by Wagadu Magic School to eliminate risks - the biggest risk is to avoid the possibility of students revealing the magical world. All this comes from the "Law of Secrecy" consideration.

"Angela..." Principal Dumbledore murmured: "I remember this name, but I also remember that you two caused a lot of trouble for a scepter. Later, she even I wanted to hunt you down, but you got rid of me, but have you reconciled now?"

Toby suddenly became overjoyed.

"Don't be ridiculous, principal." He waved his hand and said: "She hates me so much. She even sent me a few yelling letters at Christmas. How can we reconcile? But don't worry, I just need to lie to her again." Well, she is just an innocent little girl who doesn’t understand the risks of ritual magic, and there are some problems with the scepter - in short, I don’t dare to put such a dangerous thing in her hands, just in case something happens. Weird stuff is bad.”

This time, Dumbledore did not deny Toby's proposal.

Toby also breathed a sigh of relief silently. He knew that the principal paid special attention to the boy Harry Potter. At first, he was worried that the principal would let Voldemort's threat go unchecked. Fortunately, nothing went wrong in the end. Principal Dumbledore still managed to solve Voldemort's threat. The threat comes first - and Dream Messenger is much easier to accept than Veritaserum. Otherwise, no little wizard would be willing to go to school in Wagadu, but would stay away from it in the first place.

Neither of them mentioned that Toby deliberately exposed the organ protecting the Sorcerer's Stone, because they knew that the previous organ might be able to delay time, but the most important organ was still in the room protecting the Sorcerer's Stone. Toby was not even in the room where Snape and The previously arranged magic circle appeared in front of Quirrell, and it was mentioned that the Mirror of Erised would join in a few days - he and the principal had already discussed how to arrange the final mechanism.

The next thing to consider is the centaur sculpture, which was collected by Mundungus with great effort. It was restored to its original size after being cast by Toby and placed in the center of the office—the sculpture is a strong man The centaur, judging by the degree of wear and tear on the outside, this item has been around for many years.

There is also a name engraved on the bottom of the sculpture - House.

The matter of asking about House's origins still has to be left to Principal Dumbledore. The horsemen respect him and are willing to communicate with him.

Principal Dumbledore took advantage of the darkness to leave the Ancient Magic Office. He returned to the principal's office, where Snape was waiting for him.

"What to do next?" Snape asked with a gloomy face: "Toby can no longer stay out of the matter, do you still want to keep it a secret from him? There was something wrong with his previous state. If you ask me, he should be allowed to On probation."

"No, Severus." Dumbledore said as if he hadn't heard the last sentence, "Toby already knew about Quirrell's abnormality. As for the influence of ancient magic, the interesting thing is that Toby returned to Hoag The reason for Watts may also contain the same purpose-he trusts me and you, so he is willing to accept our surveillance in disguise, which can also be said to stop him in time to prevent him from doing any irrational behavior. "

"Don't betray his trust, Severus, he knows you're a Death Eater, but still trusts you."

Snape sneered and said, "Trust me? He didn't do anything because I dared to appear in front of him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have completely forgiven me just because of Lily's death."

"That's why we have to keep it secret." Dumbledore sighed, "Now it's up to you not to betray my trust, Severus."

Snape was silent for a moment.

He didn't mention Harry Potter, let alone Dumbledore.

"I have long been a dead person, only living for Lily."

========================

Toby acted very quickly. After the principal left the ancient magic office, he took out the smiling straw doll again, poked its eyes with his hand, and asked in a low voice, "Angela? Angela ?”

The straw doll's eyes rolled, and it spoke, with a female voice - the other party seemed to have just woken up from a dream, but it still subconsciously rebuked: "Damn Toby Highmore ..."

Almost exactly like the beginning of a letter from a Hermione fan.

"Where's the scepter? Give me back the scepter!"

"You can lend me the Dream Messenger first."

"Are you kidding? Impossible! I know where you are now, don't make me go to Hogwarts to find you!"

"Oh? You want to send the Dream Messenger here in person?"

"Shut up! Don't mention the dream messenger! Where's the scepter?! That's our tribe's scepter, return it to me!"

"The people in your tribe want to kill you, and kill a lot of people casually—everyone around you—that scepter has been inducing you to use living sacrifices, don't you understand?"

"You lied to me! I want the scepter! Give me the scepter first!"

"Then you lend me the dream messenger first."

"You-Toby-you!"

After half an hour of repeated ink blots.

A transparent shadow floated out from the doll's body.

"I warn you, this is the last time! You must hand over the scepter next time!"

"certainly,"

Toby said, taking the shadow, he shook his head at Al in disgust, and Al also smacked his mouth twice.

"Of course it's the last time."
