Hogwarts Archaeologist Toby

The fact that Quirrell no longer stuttered quickly spread throughout the school, and everyone knew that it was done with the help of Professor Haimer.

What many people didn't expect was that it was actually a curse, but they didn't know that it was just a prank, so in their eyes, Professor Highmore became even more unpredictable.

Especially Harry, Hermione, and Ron.

Many days have passed since they were deducted points, and no one is willing to pay attention to them. Fortunately, according to Hermione, the exam is about to come—although it is quite resentful to describe the ten weeks as immediately, But Harry and Ron continued to carry out Hermione's review plan honestly, and they had nothing else to do.

On this day, they stayed in the library, and Ron was quietly analyzing the reasons why Professor Hemmer helped Quirrell——

"Hermione overheard Professor Highmore threatening Quirrell with a magic circle at first, but now we have all seen it with our own eyes, Quirrell has solved his stuttering problem, so it is not a threat at all, but Professor Highmore wants to help Quirrell That's all."

"He has not been affected by ancient magic, and he has no intention of stealing the Philosopher's Stone. It's just that his idea of ​​helping others is... well, different, which is why Quirrell reacted so badly. Mistaken it as a threat.”

"And later on, when Quirrell was admitted to the campus hospital on the day of the competition, his begging for mercy was only to Professor Heimer. Just like us, he also misunderstood Professor Heimer's intentions. Didn't you see that he is everywhere now? Can you say something nice about Professor Heimer?”

"As for the mysterious patient who was later admitted to the school hospital—if you think about it boldly, it might be the person who really wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone, or it might just be some unlucky guy who passed out in front of the school gate and didn't have time to go to St. He died, so he was placed in the school hospital."

"all in all--"

Ron concluded: "We did a bunch of stupid things for a non-existent guess, which resulted in the college being deducted points. This is really stupid."

Originally they thought that Professor Haimer was threatening Quirrell, but after the incident that Quirrell no longer stuttered, they didn't think so.

The whole incident had nothing to do with the Philosopher's Stone. The threat Hermione thought was just Professor Highmore's help that she couldn't refuse. This was not surprising, after all, Professor Highmore's style had always been like this.

There is nothing suspicious about Mason's door, it may just be that Professor Haimer is preparing for future courses, or it may be some weird research or something.

In the end, it was only the three of them who were really stupid, imagining a lot of things, only to find that it didn't work at all, and turned Gryffindor into the bottom of the house.

Harry and Hermione blushed fiercely, and they lowered their heads deeply, passing the book "A Thousand Miraculous Herbs and Fungi" in a hurry.Ron looked at them left and right, and he was silent for a long time.

No one wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone, they all wronged Professor Highmore.

Since the beginning of school, they have made many mistakes, but in the end they got such an empty result... Especially this kind of drama of mistaking good people for bad people has been played many times.

Ron threw the quill away. He couldn't take it anymore, and looked out the library window helplessly.

Today's weather was simply wonderful, the sky was clear and as blue as the forget-me-not flower, but on the contrary, their mood was very bad.

Suddenly, Harry heard Ron say, "Hagrid! What are you doing in the library?"

Hagrid came stomping over, hiding something behind him.He looked out of place in his moleskin overcoat.

"Let's see," said Hagrid, with an evasive voice that caught their interest right away.

"What are you doing here?" He suddenly looked suspicious: "Still looking for Nicole Flamel, aren't you?"

"Oh, we knew who he was hundreds of years ago." Ron's mood finally improved a little bit. This was one of their few real gains: "We also know what is hidden in that room. It’s the magic stone——”

"Shh-" Hagrid quickly looked around to see if anyone heard him, "Don't yell so loudly, what on earth do you want to do?"

"We-" For a moment, Harry's curiosity that had just surged was extinguished, and he thought of Professor Hemmer, who looked like a horned water snake.

"We don't think about anything anymore." Harry said discouragedly: "We just hope that we can pass Professor Highmore's exam well, so that Gryffindor will not be deducted zero points."

Ron sighed, and Hermione nodded in frustration.

"This is really strange. You finally stopped thinking nonsense."

Hagrid was surprised, and at the same time he had some sympathy for the three people who were sad: "Well, you come to me in a while, maybe I can have something to cheer you up."

"What is it?" Harry asked curiously.

Hagrid refused to speak, and stomped away.

"What's he hiding behind his back?" said Hermione thoughtfully.

"I don't know." Harry shook his head: "I just know that we shouldn't cause trouble anymore. Think about it, what will Professor Highmore do if he also finds out what we learned about the Philosopher's Stone?"

Ron, who was originally going to look for it on the bookshelf, also became quiet. Harry suddenly gave him a reminder - fortunately Professor Hemmer didn't know the whole story, nor did he know that they had suspected each other, otherwise Punishment doesn't stop there.

An hour later they left the library and knocked on the door of the gamekeeper's cabin.

All the curtains in the room were drawn tightly, and Hagrid first yelled "Who is it?" before letting them in, and then turned around and closed the door quickly.

The hut was suffocatingly hot, and the three of them immediately noticed the big egg in the middle of the fire, which looked dark.

"Don't say this is the surprise you gave us." Harry said in horror.

He couldn't help but be afraid, that egg looked unusual, who knew what kind of terrifying life, or monster, was conceived inside.

"Well," Hagrid said uneasily, "I thought you would also like fire dragons. This is not common -"

"Dragon?!" Hermione exclaimed, "You mean it's a dragon egg? This is a Class A prohibited trade item. You are breaking the law, Hagrid."

"It's not that serious." Hagrid said, waving his hand. "I just won it when I drank from the village. I guess the man is eager to get rid of it."

"Oh, of course the other party will do this." Ron said: "Because this just happens to prevent that person from going to jail."

"I said," Hagrid looked at them in confusion: "Why are you reacting so strongly? I will take good care of it. This is a Norwegian Ridgeback. It is very rare."

"Hagrid." Harry stared at Hagrid seriously and said, "We can't let you do this. Can you imagine what Professor Highmore would do if he knew about it? You can't hide this dragon well." , you live in a wooden house."

"You mean Toby?" Hagrid blinked: "What's wrong with Toby?"

Hermione wailed and said: "Once he knows that we helped you hide the dragon egg, he will definitely turn Gryffindor House into a zero egg. You should be from Gryffindor House too, Hagrid, you You don’t want to see this kind of result, do you?”

"Of course not, but—"

"It's nothing," Ron immediately interrupted: "Not only will the points be deducted, Professor Heimer may also put you in solitary confinement. The solitary confinement of the three of us has not started yet, and you will want to accompany us. ?"

"How is that possible? I'm not a student." Hagrid shook his huge head: "Toby wouldn't do this to me."

"Are you sure, Hagrid?" Harry asked in a low voice, "Professor Highmore has already had a fight with Snape, do you really think he will turn a blind eye? Even Headmaster Dumbledore will have no excuse protect you."

Hagrid finally hesitated.

"Probably...not right?"
