Hogwarts Archaeologist Toby

That night, after dinner, Toby took Al back to the office, but they received an uninvited guest.

"What are you here for?"

Toby, who was sitting behind the desk, looked up, and he stared suspiciously at the old bat who broke into the office - there was anger in Snape's eyes.

Since Snape didn't make trouble on purpose during the probation period this time, there was no conflict between the two old classmates last time—that is, they didn't do anything in the corridor.

"Did you know that I no longer need to stay in school for probation, so you came to buy me a drink?"

Toby lowered his head again and returned his attention to the manuscript of the new book: "You are too kind, Severus."

Snape was so angry that he was about to laugh out loud, he sarcastically said: "You have a good idea. The most ridiculous thing is that you dared to mock me against Potter before, but you didn't do the same thing in the end."

Oh?

Toby raised his head, and he immediately thought of his punishment against Draco Malfoy.

"So, it was Draco who tipped you off?"

Toby said frankly: "It seems that Lucius Malfoy really did what I said in the school hospital - it was he who asked you to take care of Draco specially, I know you are friends, but not To think how deep the friendship between Death Eaters can be."

Snape narrowed his eyes slightly, his lips twisted into a terrifying arc, if Harry was present, he would definitely turn around and run away, no matter how angry he was, he would not dare to annoy Snape now.

"You clearly know that it wasn't framed." Snape grabbed Toby's words to punish Draco, and he said, "It was just a report to Fire Dragon, and neither Potter nor Hagrid deserved it. You didn't There is no reason to punish Draco Malfoy, let alone deduct points from Slytherin House."

Toby wasn't Harry, and he wasn't so easily scared.

"So you even know about the fire dragon." Toby said indifferently: "So what? Are you going to go to the principal to report me? Are you going to keep me on probation?"

Snape snorted coldly: "Don't underestimate Dumbledore, he already knew about the fire dragon."

Toby's eyes flickered twice, he didn't know there was such a thing.Thinking about it carefully, maybe only the Pig's Head Bar has Dumbledore's eyeliner. Could it be other members of the Order of the Phoenix?A wizard like Mundungus?

Although he knew about the existence of the Order of the Phoenix, Toby had no real reason to join, so Toby didn't know who had ever been in the Order.

After thinking about all this, Toby continued to sneer mercilessly: "Yeah, Dumbledore is amazing. But what about you, Severus? What can you do with me? I've heard that When you stayed in office before, you had a preference for Slytherin, but you didn't pretend to speak to students from other colleges. Besides, you don't really think that I will show mercy to students, do you? Do you think I am a fair person? ?”

"Think about it, Severus, you've figured it out since you were in school. I never hold my hand against someone I don't like, no matter who it is."

Snape stared at Toby silently, the two of them stared at each other silently, and Al was also angrily adding momentum to Toby.

"I know what you're up to, Toby," said Snape. "You're suspecting that Lucius has something to do with the Dark Lord—"

"Yes," Toby interrupted suddenly, "I think so. And I have something to tell you—I don't care what the relationship between you and Lucius Malfoy is, but I can It's not Lily, she won't be betrayed so easily, and she won't foolishly wait to die."

"The most important thing is that I will never show mercy to Death Eaters, let alone give you a chance to betray me. You should be glad that Dumbledore vouched for you, and think carefully about the relationship between you and Lucius. Friendship.”

Snape turned around angrily, and before leaving, he left a last sentence: "Coincidentally, I think so too."

Snape seemed to mean that he would not show mercy to Toby either, this threat was inexplicable.

Toby knew that Snape had always hated himself because of the desertion, but now it seemed that there were other reasons he didn't know.

But soon, this matter was left behind by Toby. There are many people who want his life, far from Voldemort when he was in school, especially in these years of archaeology, more people want to kill him. want him to die.

Those who focus on archaeology are not only Gringotts' spellbreakers, but also crazy tomb robbers, dark creatures, and dark wizards. Toby has encountered the same situation too many times.

As the night progressed, Harry, Ron, and Hermione came to the Ancient Magic Office. Malfoy was the last to arrive. When he walked into the office, his expression was no longer calm. He didn't expect that Dean Snape could not save himself in the end. Now just a glance from Professor Highmore scared him. Can't stand it anymore.

Toby didn't choose to say anything more at this time, nor did he mention Malfoy's complaint to Snape. He just glanced at the four students who bowed their heads, and then took out four shovels from the corner of the table, Throw it in front of them.

Harry recognized the shovel as one they would use when digging in the soil in Herbology class.

"Pick up the shovel," Toby ordered. "Follow me."

He left the office first, Al standing on his shoulder. The four students, afraid to talk, followed Professor Heimer after picking up the shovel.

The group left the castle, striding across the pitch-black grounds.Harry didn't know exactly what punishment they would encounter, so he could only look at Ron and Hermione with his eyes. What worried him the most was Malfoy's face - not because he was worried about Malfoy, but because Malfoy They looked like they were going to be scared to death.

The moonlight was very bright, but clouds kept drifting over to cover the moon, making them plunge into darkness.

Harry even wanted to yell when he passed Hagrid's cabin, but he didn't dare to do so after all.Moreover, Hagrid seemed to be very busy, as there were constant bangs and bangs coming from the room, and Norbert's growth was even more astonishing than they had imagined.

In the end, they stood in front of the dark Forbidden Forest, and in front of them was a deep path with no end in sight, all covered by darkness.

Toby said ruthlessly: "A group of dead animals appeared in the Forbidden Forest. Your task tonight is to find them and bury their bodies with shovels."

"Oh my God..." There was uncontrollable fear in Ron's voice. The Forbidden Forest alone was scary enough, but it was also related to dead animals.

Hermione summoned the courage to ask, "Do you know who killed those animals, Professor?"

"It's not clear yet." Toby looked at the four and said, "You better pray that you don't meet the murderer, because—"

There was a bad premonition in the hearts of the four, especially Harry and Malfoy, their hearts were about to jump out—Professor Highmore suddenly set his sights on them.

"We need to split into two groups. Mr. Weasley and Miss Granger follow me. As for Mr. Potter and Mr. Malfoy, you follow Al."

Harry and Malfoy were immediately turned pale with fright. No matter how powerful Mr. Al was, he was definitely not as good as Professor Haimer.

Toby looked at them with a dangerous grin.

"It's time to pay for your ignorance. Let me see what you are capable of - the shameless snitch, and the Boy Who Lived."
