Hogwarts Archaeologist Toby

Pushed on the desk in the Ancient Magic Office are two tall stacks of parchment, which are the homework of other students.

Toby and Al sat on the chairs with solemn expressions, and a piece of parchment flew in front of them, and they carefully corrected it.

"Want to make a bite box? It seems like a conservative choice, but it's still a bit difficult - a sixth-grade student, forget it, let him try it."

"Auto-returning bat? George Weasley... I think he was the Gryffindor Beater? Must be overruled, it's a foul in the game."

"ah!"

"Huh? Multi-flavored juice? Are you going to imitate Bibi's multi-flavored beans? Let's see, Fred Weasley is only in the third grade. He really doesn't know the heights of the world. Let's add a range to him. Let's make ten kinds first. The taste comes out so he knows how hard it is.”

"Snitch catcher? Who is this? Why do the players in the school always think about fouling?"

"Quaffle Catcher?! That's too much!"

"Oh, this is Mr. Diggory's - self-casting wand, it shouldn't be, he knows how difficult it is, we need to talk to him sometime - eh? Come in."

Hermione walked into the office cautiously, and Ron and Harry supported Neville, who was unconscious, on the left and right, and followed her.

After seeing Mr. Al correcting his homework... they decided to ignore this strange sight for now. This must be an illusion. How could Xiu Xiu correct homework?

Toby looked at them with a smile: "You are here to hand in your homework too? It's so fast. It's just not long after class. It seems that you are very aware - indeed, confinement is still effective."

Harry and Ron's hearts trembled as they suddenly thought that they should come back after finishing their homework.

Hermione forced herself to explain: "It's not because of the homework, Professor. It's because of Neville, who just beat Draco Malfoy unconscious."

Hermione's voice was getting quieter, and she watched Professor Highmore's long hair drooping down over his eyes-this didn't look very good, and it was usually a precursor to the professor's anger.

"Continue." Toby said calmly, his tone changed from joy to low.

Now Hermione panicked too, and she told the whole story with difficulty, without daring to add any details—just before the last confinement, they had already seen the punishment for fooling Professor Highmore, that was extremely It is possible to be dismissed from school.

After the story was finished, there was silence in the office for a short while.

Except for Neville who was unconscious, the three little wizards only felt that the atmosphere in the room was getting heavier and heavier, making them unable to breathe.

Fortunately, Toby finally looked away. He glanced at Neville and glanced at the back of Neville's broken hands. Then he turned to look at Al and said to him: "Go to Severus and leave him alone." I want some white essence and tranquilizer."

Al nodded, it jumped onto the flying carpet, and left the office in a drool.

Toby pushed back his long hair and smiled big. "I thought it was all about it. Sit down, kids. Would you like something to drink?"

He conjured four chairs across from the desk and motioned for the four people to sit over. At the same time, he continued: "But you are really right to find me. As for Neville - use white fresh essence to treat his injuries later, and then Just drink the tranquilizer to calm down your mood and you will feel better. There is no need to worry, it’s just a little excitement and it will be cured soon.”

The three of them took Neville to sit on the chair in fear, they still haven't understood the meaning behind Professor Highmore's behavior.

So Toby asked again: "Tell me, what do you want to drink?"

The three of them trembled all over, and they immediately shouted one after another:

"water!"

"water!"

"Pumpkin juice!"

Ok?

Harry and Hermione looked at Ron all at once, are they still in the mood to drink pumpkin juice at this time?

Fortunately, Toby didn't pay attention to this. He waved his wand again and created two glasses of water, one glass of pumpkin juice, and some lemonade on his own initiative for Neville.

Ron drank his drink sullenly, not daring to raise his head under the contempt of the two friends.

Harry plucked up the courage and asked, "But...Professor, what should Neville do?"

"Mr. Longbottom's words..." Toby thought about it carefully, and he smiled unexpectedly: "Having the courage to help others and standing up for the parents of his roommate is a rare heroic performance. That's great, Gran Fendo adds five points! Then the three of you each add three points, in order to reward you for thinking about your friends."

The three of them were stunned, and Neville's eyelids twitched.

This is completely different from what they imagined. Even if they are not punished, they can actually get extra points?

Ron suddenly said: "If I knew it, I would have done it first—"

"Mr. Weasley!"

Toby suddenly said seriously, so frightened that Ron almost turned over from behind the chair.

"What I have to tell you is that if you and Mr. Potter were the ones who did the fighting, then this would have turned into an ordinary brawl. No matter who provoked it first, you would all be punished!"

Harry ignored Ron, who was blushing, and the more he heard it, the more he felt something was wrong—feeling that Professor Highmore seemed to have a good understanding of violating school rules?

"But..." Hermione couldn't help but worry: "But if you do this, will you have a conflict with Professor Snape?"

Snape was the dean of Slytherin, and he was known to protect his shortcomings, and Hermione had already seen the two professors fight.

"Oh, no no no no."

Toby raised a finger and shook it from side to side: "First of all, the person who will cause trouble for me will not be Severus. Secondly, you seem to have forgotten one thing - I am also a Slytherin, no matter I There will be a reasonable explanation no matter what I do, because my identity is Slytherin."

"This is the most discriminated house, and it is also the house where you do things without worrying about the consequences. Because there is always an explanation - there are the most dark wizards from Slytherin House, and the people here are all bad."

Hermione opened her mouth wide in surprise, and Harry felt a little guilty inexplicably - that's how he looked at Slytherin House before, but Professor Higher's statement obviously didn't mean that - he did it to protect Neville of.

He seemed to have misjudged Professor Heimer.

"Is there any problem, Mr. Potter?" Toby saw the strangeness from Harry's expression: "You seem to be a child who is very good at hiding things, this is not good, you should learn more from your mother , and father, they all know how to express themselves, even if they sometimes go too far."

Harry suddenly raised his head: "You...you know my parents?"

There was surprise and anticipation in his eyes.

"Yes, I know them," Toby said, but stopped there without saying much.

And Ron finally came to his senses from what Professor Heimer had just said - this professor from Slytherin House was a little different from what he had imagined, and the key was...

"Neville is a Gryffindor - eh!"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was secretly beaten by Hermione.

Her glaring eyes perfectly expressed the meaning in her heart-how can there be someone who you can't wink at?Why mention Gryffindor at this time.

At this time, Al flew back with two bottles in his paws.

"You should go back."

Toby saw the guests off and said, "Just leave the rest of the time to me and Mr. Longbottom."

"We need to talk alone."
