Hogwarts Archaeologist Toby

Cedric had already told Toby about the abnormality on the day the Mason Door was opened, so Toby called Neville over specifically for questioning.

"I...I'm looking for Harry."

Neville explained honestly: "After Gryffindor won the last game, I noticed that Harry was dragged away quickly, so I searched for him everywhere in the castle to prevent him from being taken away again. Academy points were deducted. As a result, I found that the door to the Ancient Magic Office was not completely closed, and then the rest was..."

That's what happened.

Neville was also present when everyone was deducted 30 points for the first time, so he paid special attention to Harry. It was unjustifiable not to celebrate at that time.

However, Neville did not break into the Mason Door like the three of them. He should have hesitated, but he made no mistake in the end.

"You're doing well, Mr. Longbottom."

Toby said with a smile, he encouraged Neville a few more words, and then let Neville leave.

After a while, another student entered the office, Draco Malfoy.

According to Cedric, Draco also came for the Office of Ancient Magic.

Under Toby's stern gaze, Draco tremblingly explained the reason for coming - it turned out that he wanted to keep an eye on Neville because he discovered Neville, and wanted to avenge the beating he had suffered.

It seemed that Draco didn't dare to lie in front of Toby, so he told him in such detail.

Toby gave him a few warnings and then let Draco leave.

He was not like Snape who targeted a student because of his father, and he didn't have extra time to waste on it. There were still many details to deal with regarding academic probation.

So, once again, there were some professors in Toby's class, who needed to evaluate their colleagues. The same situation happened to Professor Kettleburn.

Fortunately, since Professor Kettleburn has been on probation for as many as sixty-two times, most professors are accustomed to this and they all have rich communication experience.

And Toby did not harm any students. The reason why he was placed on probation was because he threatened a school board member, Lucius Malfoy.

Not everyone likes the Malfoy family.

Professor McGonagall praised Toby's wonderful use of the combination of magic circle and transfiguration. Professor Flitwick wanted to pat Toby on the shoulder comfortingly, but in the end he just patted his calf. Professor Sprout also There was an interest in the skeletal algae, and Quirrell made it clear almost immediately that there was nothing wrong with Toby.

Toby, who had just finished class, was in a good mood. He asked Quirrell, "How are you doing recently, do you still need to go to the school hospital?"

Quirrell's complexion looked much better, but he still stammered: "No, no need, I-I-I'm-very good now."

"That's great." Toby said excitedly: "So, you finally have time to solve the vampire curse."

Ok?

Quirrell was stunned. He didn't expect that Toby hadn't forgotten this matter.

"I-I still have something to do."

This time, Quirrell refused much faster, and he walked faster, disappearing at the end of the corridor almost instantly.

Behind him, Toby's eyes gradually turned gloomy.

The Imperius Curse on Mundungus might have been struck in the village in advance.

But there is another possibility, and that is Quirrell.

Toby remembered that on the day Mundungus stole the Philosopher's Stone, Quirrell was also admitted to the school hospital for physical reasons and shared a room with Mundungus.

But the Imperius Curse is not such a simple spell. Principal Dumbledore has long concluded to Toby that Quirrell is not capable of casting such a powerful Imperius Curse, let alone let Mundungus break through so many traps.

But again, Quirrell refused treatment for the curse.

"That's not okay."

Toby murmured: "I don't want to work with vampires in the future, and as one of the school's professors, how can I not lend a helping hand to my colleagues?"

Eru nodded solemnly on his shoulder.

"ah!"

"Kidnapping? No, no, don't forget, we are still in the period of probation, how can we do this kind of thing. But there are so many suspicious things about Quirrell, you can't really treat me as blind .”

So, after dinner that day, Quirrell was blocked.

Trapped in his own office.

"Hey, Professor Quirrell!"

Toby ignored Quirrell's terrified gaze, and he pretended to be generous and said: "I'm here to help you, don't make any appointments anymore, just tonight, I can help you get rid of the curse on your body."

"No-no-no-"

"It's okay, it's just a curse. I've seen a lot. It almost killed me many times. I have a lot of experience in improving the survival rate. You will be fine."

After a pause, Toby added: "At most, it's just a few more scars."

Under Toby's repeated "admonitions", Quirrell seemed to have just accepted his fate. He watched his body being shrouded in the dazzling light of the magic circle on the floor, and didn't feel anything was wrong.

After seeing Toby take back the magic ball, Quirrell asked: "Is the knot over?"

Toby gave Quirrell a weird look, and then nodded even more weirdly.

"It's over," he said, shooting a spell at Quirrell.

Quirrell was taken aback, and quickly looked towards him, but nothing happened.

"I-you-" Quirrell said in surprise.

"You were tricked, Professor Quirrell." Toby said disappointedly: "That's a vampire who loves to tease people. The curse he left on you is called the Ending Curse. I thought it was related to some ancient ancient relic. It’s related.”

"So—?" Quirrell opened his mouth, and he spit out a lot of words quickly: "I'm fine now? Don't need to worry about that vampire anymore? Is it all fake?"

Quirrell looked almost overjoyed. He finally stopped stammering, gratefully held Toby's hand and shook it: "I really don't know how to thank you. Do you want me to invite you to the village for a drink?"

"No need." Toby said with a lack of interest: "After all, you also helped me a lot in the professor's audit, and I can't leave the school-so be it, good night, Professor Quirrell. "

Toby left the Defense Against the Dark Arts office and walked alone in the corridor. He was still wondering to himself: "How is this possible? Where did the dangerous atmosphere coming from the Leaky Cauldron come from? of?"

"Could it be related to the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor..."

"Is this position really cursed?"
