Hogwarts Archaeologist Toby

Since the assignment of magic array items, the students gradually began to realize the extraordinaryness of the ancient magic class.

They don't need to practice those similar or identical spells, and they don't need to complete the exact same homework, but they can all make decisions on their own—except for some ideas that are too unreasonable, Professor Haimer promised the students Requirements for crafting special magic circle items.

This made the following ancient magic class very interesting. In each class, students would ask various questions, and Toby also showed super patience and rich knowledge about magic circles. Comprehension, usually in a short period of time, can point out students' mistakes and avoid causing a larger... explosion.

That's right, it is the most common consequence of the failure of the magic circle - an explosion.

In the next short period of time, some students always exploded while walking.Of course, it wasn't the students who were blown up, they didn't have the guts to engrave magic circles on their bodies.

What is really blown up is usually the students' pockets and schoolbags. As for the locations, there are even more varieties - dormitories, common rooms, bathrooms, classrooms, and even some students will explode in the school hospital, probably because they accidentally created the magic circle of thunderbolt fireworks.

This farce finally ended until Professor Heimer strictly prohibited it. Everyone must draw a perfect magic circle on the parchment before applying it to their respective items.

However, according to Marcus Flint, who happened to pass by the principal's office, Professor Heimer made up his mind after having a big bump on his forehead. It is speculated that Professor Heimer was forced to make this decision.

As a result, Marcus was detained for three days by Toby and almost missed the Slytherin team's next game.

It seems like everything in the school is changing for the better.

Except Quirrell.

He is living like a year now, and every morning after waking up, he has to check whether he is still alive, for fear that the curse of the vampire will suddenly kill him.

In his vague memory, that mysterious vampire had the ability that he could not resist anyway, which made Quirrell unable to resist at all, and did not dare to disobey the order of the curse parasitic on his body.

Quirrell knows that the curse has a way to take his life in an instant, which is more terrible than the death curse.

Fortunately, Curse seemed to know that stealing the Philosopher's Stone was not a simple matter. Even after Quirrell explained the ways to pass various mechanisms, Curse did not keep urging Quirrell, but patiently waited for the opportunity.

Until the eve of the latest Quidditch match.

It will be a game between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, and almost all the students and professors will watch it. The scoring of the game is related to the ownership of the final Quidditch trophy, and it is the last game of the season. Contest.

Quirrell finally received orders from the vampire's curse.

"Go through the trap door...try to figure out what mechanism is in the last room..."

Quirrell didn't understand the meaning of this order. He originally thought that the other party would ask him to take the opportunity to take away the magic stone, but this step was not considered by the other party.

The curse acted as if it was very sure that there would be a trap in the last room, and it was obvious that Quirrell had told the other party that there was nothing there, only a Philosopher's Stone.

In any case, Quirrell decided to do as the other party said. He happened to know that Dumbledore would leave the school that day to attend a meeting of the Wizengamot. It was said that this meeting was also related to Professor Highmore - someone submitted an anonymous letter reporting that Highmore's mental condition was very unstable and was not suitable to stay in the school. If you continue to be a professor, you may even endanger your students.

Quirrell felt that Professor Heimer's spirit was quite normal, especially after the Christmas vacation, he became more and more normal. But as for endangering students... Quirrell has seen many students who suddenly got angry during class, but similar behaviors were stopped in time.

Although there is no need to steal the Magic Stone in this plan, Quirrell still needs to be prepared to break through other agencies and shorten the time as much as possible to avoid being discovered by others.

But before Quirrell's preparations were completed, Toby came to the door first.

"Is-what's the matter, Professor Highmore?" Quirrell stammered.

"There is indeed one thing." Toby lowered his voice, and he said mysteriously: "I came to help you solve the curse of the vampire."

Quirrell opened his eyes wide: "Huh?"

"Don't hide it anymore, Professor Quirrell." Toby said with a wave of his hand: "I know what's going on, even the students can guess it-you must have been attacked by a vampire in Romania, so That's why it smells like garlic."

Upon hearing this reason, Quirrell finally felt a little relieved. Just now his heart was about to jump out, thinking that Toby had seen through the curse that was parasitic on him.

Toby, on the other hand, cleverly ignored the real reason for the Dream Messenger, and he also came to Quirrell with another purpose -

"Aphasia Curse? Or Stuttering Curse? Hagrid told me about the changes that have happened to you. You have completely changed since you came back. No matter what the curse is, I will try to help you solve it, which will also help me Go find the mysterious vampire."

Quirrell was taken aback: "You-you-what are you looking for him for?"

"Of course it is for the study of ancient magic." Toby said as a matter of course: "I have never been to Romania, and I never knew that there are such powerful vampires there. I have to see and see, maybe it has something to do with some ancient ruins ——I just don’t know if Gringotts has a branch in Romania, and without the help of goblins, it’s still hard to find these mysterious guys.”

"Don't worry, Professor Quirrell."

After seeing Quirrell's face gradually pale, Toby encouraged him: "It just happened to give you a chance to experience the power of the magic circle, you can't imagine what you can do with the magic circle - wait a minute. "

Toby suddenly frowned and said, he walked to the door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office, and opened the door inward at once—

Hermione, who was eavesdropping behind the door, didn't expect such a scene to happen. She fell down and fell all of a sudden.

"Teach...Professor." Hermione stood up with a red face. She quickly explained: "I came to see Professor Quirrell. I originally wanted to ask about the content related to the Muggle Studies class. Just now... me......"

She carefully looked at Professor Haimer's gloomy face, and almost didn't cry.

"I was wrong, Professor."

In the end, Hermione didn't dare to lie in front of Professor Highmore.

Toby narrowed his eyes and stared at her: "Sneaking in and eavesdropping on the professors' conversations, and being caught so easily - five points from Gryffindor, you need to remember a lot, Miss Granger. "

Hermione, who was depressed, couldn't tell for a while whether Professor Highmore was deducting points for eavesdropping, or because he was caught and needed a long memory.
