Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 455 More Doubts

454 More Doubts

In the abandoned bathroom on the second floor of the castle, Myrtle flew out of the cubicle, and she looked at Morgana standing in front of the sink with a puzzled face.

"You're a freshman? Didn't anyone tell you you shouldn't be here?"

"No." Morgana stared at the mirror full of dirt and said, "I don't have a roommate, and I'm the only one in the whole dormitory. I usually go to class by myself, and I rarely talk to my classmates—but why can't I come? this?"

"Why?" Myrtle acted as if she'd heard the funniest joke ever: "Because of me, no one wants to deal with me, no one likes me, and everyone hates me—especially you, Tom. Bee Highmore!"

Myrtle stared at Toby who suddenly came in from the outside and accused: "Every time you come here, you will drive me away. What's the matter? You're going to start playing those little tricks you used to do in school again, playing tricks on a few disobedient students." Playing? It's nothing, I haven't seen-"

"I don't have time to chat with you." Toby said angrily, "Get out of here, Myrtle, I'm the headmaster of Hogwarts now, and I advise you not to mess with me."

"Everyone bullies me! Everyone bullies me!"

Myrtle screamed and disappeared into the toilet.

Toby frowned and turned his head in Morgana's direction.

"What are you doing here? For the secret room? Hai Erbo told you that the entrance to the secret room is here?"

Apart from this reason, Toby couldn't think of any other reason that would make Morgana come here on her own initiative.

The fact is not much different from what he imagined.

Morgana looked at herself in the mirror and said: "During the period when Haierbo thought he could control me, he mentioned many things about you to me, including that you were raped by him last semester. Playing around in circles, it was not until the end that the old Tom who was locked in the secret room was actually Hai Erbo."

"If it's just to expose the shortcomings, you can stop now." Toby's tone became unfriendly: "Hasn't anyone taught you not to expose the scars in other people's hearts casually? Since you have become a child, you must have a child." What the child looks like—so, why are you looking for the Chamber of Secrets?"

The speed at which Toby changed the subject made Morgana stunned for a moment.

She said blankly: "It's nothing, I just want to see the statue of Salazar Slytherin, I heard that he is a pure-blood supremacist, no different from those wizards I have met before, but It's much more famous."

To Morgana's surprise, Toby readily agreed.

He skillfully used Parseltongue to open the hole leading to the secret room, and before Morgana could react, he grabbed her by the collar and threw it into the hole with a whoosh.

"It didn't even make a frightened cry."

Toby shook his head regretfully, and then slid down the passage along the way.

When Toby appeared at the exit at the bottom, Morgana had already given up her position in advance and walked not far away to avoid being kicked by Toby.

She silently stared at the dust on her witch robe, moved her fingers a little, and used wandless magic to sweep away all these dirty things.

Toby looked at her and said, "Nobody sees that your wand is just a stick without a core?"

Although a guardian like Snape was found for Morgana, Toby did not buy a wand for Morgana that belonged to her.

This is not to fear that Morgana will be out of control from now on, because she already has the ability to cast spells without a stick.It was because Toby was worried that Mr. Ollivander would see something unusual about Morgana—the old man was very weird, and he always had some abilities far beyond ordinary wizards, especially in observing people.

Toby even suspected that this might be Ollivander's instinct, but luckily it wasn't a very destructive one, otherwise there might be another Dark Lord in the wizarding world.

"No, I don't usually have much contact with those children, and they don't think there is anything different about me."

This passage sounds a bit sad.At Hogwarts, Morgana was in a particularly lonely situation.

But Morgana herself didn't think so, and Toby didn't think about it from this angle at all.

"Even the professor didn't find out?" Toby rubbed his chin and pondered carefully, "Even Flitwick didn't? He really disappointed me."

Just as Toby was thinking about how to fabricate an excuse to deduct the Charms professor's bonus reasonably, Morgana had already started walking straight into the dark depths.

Toby followed her unhurriedly.

For a moment, the figures of the two projected different lengths on the ground, as if four people were walking on the broad stone road at the same time.

Morgana stopped suddenly.

She said abruptly, "You don't need to show the devil, I never thought of doing anything to you here."

"I was really surprised to hear this." Toby sarcastically said, "I never thought of doing something to me here? Then why did you come to the secret room? Don't you think I will think that's why you skipped class?" The reason? You clearly know that with the support of the mason tree, I can easily find your trace. Isn't this a bait?"

"There is no bait." Morgana's tone was still calm, she turned around, her silver pupils stared at Toby and said: "There is no trap, I have failed once, and I know why you didn't control me more , it's just for those feathers. It's also my feathers, I won't let you have a chance to succeed."

"Ha." Toby sneered: "Then it's hard for you to think of going with Dumbledore without joining forces with him. Don't tell me you are also his loyal fan or something."

Morgana didn't explain, and she stopped talking, as if she saw that Toby was deliberately provoking herself.

In any case, no matter how Toby tried on the next road, Morgana never communicated with him again.

Finally, the two came to the hall of the secret room safe and sound, stood at the foot of the statue and looked up together.

The armor and Antioch are also here. Although they no longer need any guards, they are still arranged by Toby to stay here, and they may be used someday.

But there was one thing that Toby couldn't help but notice.

After looking at it for a while, he gave up his plan to continue doing this. Instead, he walked in front of Antioch, took off the pharaoh mask on its face, and the lady's wide-brimmed hat on its head, and let Antioch Eke returned to the appearance of an ordinary skeleton.

Then Toby walked up to Morgana with the wide-brimmed hat.

"Remember this hat?" he asked. "The black feather on my body is related to the original owner of this hat. As you described before, she became a monster, and all that is left is this relic .”

Morgana was still looking at the statue, not knowing what was so good about Slytherin's face.

She didn't bow her head, just raised her neck and said, "I heard Hai Erbo mention her, yes, I also remember who this woman is - she likes to dress herself up very much, and what she brings most before she decides to move in is clothes and decorations, but she only kept this favorite hat at my request - do you want to ask me if I have any plans to avenge her? No, not even myself Instead, it's her. Instead, she lives on you."

This sentence reminded Toby of what he had said to Harry - Lily also lived on Harry.

"Don't disgust me with such words." Toby said with a look of disgust: "Even if she is still alive, at most she is only living in my wand, and has nothing to do with me-even the wand only listens to me." Al's words. Hey, will there be a day when Al can replace me?"

"It won't." Morgana whispered: "I've thought about it seriously, and your approach seems to be the right one. You are half a devil, representing negativity and hatred, while Al can To be seen as love—maybe you have to have both, so you can get along so harmoniously, instead of letting one of them be swallowed by the other and become a monster who can't even remember who you are."

Toby followed suit for a while.

"It sounds reasonable, but you have to have a Mason door—so you can't succeed no matter what, right? At that time, you and Merlin had a complete quarrel, and there was no chance of getting Mason from him. Door."

Morgana finally lowered her head again, she stared straight at Toby, and sent back what Toby had said before.

"Hasn't anyone taught you not to open the scars in other people's hearts casually? The principal has to look like the principal."

It had been a long time since Toby had been taught a lesson by someone who looked like a child—except for Lily, but that was many years ago.

"Pay attention to your tone and words, you dare to be so arrogant knowing that I am the headmaster—by the way, was there a magic school when you were still alive?"

Morgana has gradually become accustomed to Toby's magical brain circuit.

"No," she said; "at that time it was difficult for us to even find the same kind, and more often we lived with Muggles. This kind of life without boundaries made the whole thing a lot more complicated , is also one of the fuses that caused the war. But in my opinion, the magic world is worse now. The "Secrecy Act" will destroy everything."

Toby shook his head and said: "This is Grindelwald's proposition - destroy the "Secrecy Act", I didn't expect you to be his supporter. But these are not much different in my opinion, the key is the conservation of magic The law, the one that should really be destroyed should be this law—it’s a pity that no one can do it.”

"There really is no one." Morgana's voice became lower, perhaps because she thought of her experience when she was still alive.

If it weren't for the shackles of the law of conservation of magic, this kind of special persecution of Muggle-borns would not have happened, including her and Merlin, who were extremely different mixed-blood wizards.

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

The armor stayed in place quietly. It didn't remember Morgana, the original owner of Death Castle, and Morgana also didn't mention its original owner—it was nothing more than a wizard who liked duels, maybe a Warrior, that's why such a pair of armor is specially made.

Antioch opened his skull mouth wide. It seemed to be wondering why he couldn’t make a sound. From time to time, he would slap his head twice with his palm—it made a sound, but it was different from the one he wore before. The voice behind the mask is completely different, and there is no way to satisfy it.

Toby stared at Morgana, and suddenly he stretched out his palm in front of Morgana, holding a wand in his hand.

"Take it and use it." Toby looked at the puzzled Morgana and said, "This is the Elder Wand, which contains the power of death and has the potential to be invincible. In order to avoid the threat caused by Haierbo, Dumbledore put He gave it to me, and it's yours now. It's the first wand you've ever had since you came back to life, so keep it safe."

Morgana took the wand over silently. She stared carefully at the lines on the wand, and asked with some uncertainty: "Are you serious? Are you sure you want to give me this wand?"

"Otherwise, who else could it be?" Toby said to himself in an unclear tone: "Lily? Or Severus? I don't feel very good. It doesn't matter who it is. It's best to let me get away from this wand Stay away, don't always dangle in front of me."

"I suspect that this is Hai Erbo's real purpose—although I don't know whether this is true or not—but I guess, he must hope that I can use Dumbledore's weapon to kill him with my own hands. "

"I can't do that—and even if I could, I wouldn't intend to."
-
"How could you give the Elder Wand to Morgana?"

After Toby returned to the office, he was immediately accused by Angela: "How can she have this weapon? You...what's wrong with you? Even if you give the Elder Wand to me for safekeeping—"

"Unless I'm dead stupid, I will never do this." Toby waved his hand impatiently and said, "If I really leave it to you, I'm afraid there will be a lot of corpses waiting for me to bury the next day—maybe Even I was in there."

Angela waited for Toby's explanation with a puzzled expression.

"How could Hai Erbo fail to guess this?" Toby shook his head and said, "I've fought against him before, so it's no surprise that I doubt him—he's so bad, he will definitely think of Dumbledore. Lido's Elder Wand. He would definitely want me to kill Dumbledore with his own hands, and then clean me up after breaking me down-these are very common methods, and I have not only seen it with my own eyes when I was archaeological before , I have heard more stories."

Angela's eyes became strange: "Where did you take the ancient test? Is it in someone else's mind?"

"Almost. Don't those ancient ruins come from the ideas in my head?" Toby said disapprovingly: "Let's talk about the Elder Wand—in fact, the key here is not the Elder Wand, but a Hyle Someone Bo doesn't know at all, so he can't judge what will happen next-and this person has only Morgana as a choice."

"Of course, it would be better if Merlin was alive, but who turned him into a god of death? Even regaining consciousness is extremely rare."

Angela looked at Toby with a hesitant expression on her face.

"I know." Toby said with a sigh.

"But it's always like this. In the face of two difficult roads, I can only choose the less difficult one—if only there were more roads."

"Unfortunately not, there are no more."
