Hogwarts behind-the-scenes big boss

He played the emotional card again, "Mr. Moriarty, I know that since you returned to the wizarding world, the Slytherin family has not formed an alliance with any family. I think the Malfoy family is a good choice.

Yes, that's right, I recommend myself to be your partner, and we can start from a new broom and build a huge company together."

Moriarty pretended to think carefully about Lucius's words, frowned slightly, and said solemnly: "You know, Lucius, if there is anyone else in this world who can form an alliance with the Slytherin family, it can only be three people."

Descendants of giants.

Compared with other purebloods, the Malfoy family only has some advantages. It does not mean they have more qualifications."

Lucius's face changed slightly, he opened his mouth and then closed it weakly.

He knew that Moriarty was right, the Gaunt family was also a descendant of the Slytherin family, but as we all know, the Gaunt family was just a branch of the Slytherin family.

According to the blood theory of pure-blood families, just a branch of the Slytherin family can tie with the Black, Malfoy and other families as the 28 pure-bloods.

So the direct blood relatives of the Slytherin family are naturally nobler than the twenty-eight pure-blood families.

Moriarty also knew this, but he softened his voice: "However, given the relationship between us, I am willing to give you a chance with the Malfoy family. You are right, the French wizard cannot

Richer than us."

Lucius happily asked what the opportunity was, and Moriarty finally threw the bone.

"I need you to visit the Jewish Marquis among vampires and ask him about the relationship between the ancestor of vampires and targeting elves? And find out the secret of the ancestor of vampires!"

"Vampire? Jewish Marquis? Elf? Ancestor of vampires? What are you talking about!" Lucius felt confused. The vampire and he had always been people in two different worlds.

Fifty years ago, when Voldemort was rampant, there were no vampires among the Death Eaters under his command. There were werewolves, but Lucius looked down on werewolves, and naturally he would not come into contact with the magical creatures of the dark world.

"I said, this is your opportunity with the Malfoy family. If you can find out the information I need and return smoothly, I don't mind sharing the wealth of the new broomsticks with the Malfoy family.

As for Nico Flamel, I will take care of it, even if it costs me something, we are friends after all."

Moriarty's tone was serious at first, but then his tone became softer and gentler, and by the end he was smiling.

This is the correct way to make friends!

New brooms inherently need a partner, and this candidate can be anyone or any family.

If Lucius can come back safely, it will be the Malfoy family.

What if you can't come back? Lucius, don't worry, I will take care of your wife and son.

After successfully unlocking the code for beating workers, Moriarty looked at Lucius with a smile. He knew that Lucius would not refuse because he had no reason to refuse.

Sure enough, Lucius thought for a moment and said, "I need seven days to prepare."

"Three days, only three days. In three days, you can find out where the Jewish Marquis lives, think of your words, and then leave immediately."

Moriarty raised three fingers. Seven days is too long. After seven days, Hogwarts may have to be closed.

"Okay," Lucius agreed, "I think I can complete this visit in five days. After five days, I will return to the manor and hope to see Draco flying into the sky riding a new broomstick!"

"make a deal!"

Just as a gift from a father to his son, it is easy to make a new broom in five days.

Moriarty smiled at Lucius and said, "When will Draco understand your painstaking efforts?"

Lucius smiled and said nothing.

"I'm glad to see you guys are having a good time talking. Dessert will be ready soon." Narcissa came over for the third time carrying a gold tray. She smiled gently at Lucius and nodded to Moriarty.

Moriarty noticed that Draco did not follow this time, and that there were a lot of dessert tools on the tray.

Sugar bowl, milk bottle, thermal cotton cover, hourglass, rattle, lace tablecloth, warmer, personal dessert plate, jam and cream plate, dessert stand, biscuit holder, fruit plate, lemon cutter...

As you can imagine, the desserts must be very rich.

Narcissa put the tools in their appropriate places and walked down the stairs to get the dessert.

This was the fourth time she came over holding a gold tray. She put the tray in front of Moriarty and said, "Have a try. Which one do you want to eat?"

Moriarty looked down and saw four three-layer dessert plates neatly arranged on the tray.

The dessert plate is a ceramic product with pink petals tattooed on it. Sandwiches are placed on the first layer, traditional British desserts are placed on the second layer, and chocolate truffle cake cut into small pieces is placed on the third layer.

The first layer of the second dessert plate is a fruit tart, the second layer is lemon pie, apple pie and other pies, and the third layer is soufflé. Moriarty picked a piece of cranberry flavored soufflé and put it in In the mouth.

"Well, not bad," Moriarty nodded: "It tastes great, sour and sweet, and has the fragrance of fresh milk. I think Ms. Narcissa's craftsmanship is the best among pure-blood ladies."

Narcissa was very happy and smiled at Lucius. Lucius said with some disdain: "In recent years, many purebloods have forgotten the etiquette of afternoon tea. They forget that when eating desserts, they must come from the bottom." Start eating from the top!

They grabbed the desserts and crazily stuffed them into their mouths!

You must find it unbelievable, but such pure bloods are all around us, the Weasley family, the Longbottom family...the children of these two families see desserts like bandits see gold."

Moriarty said to himself that you have left out two people, your son's future good followers, Crabbe and Goyle.

But Lucius was right, the etiquette for enjoying desserts is like this. Moriarty said: "No matter how the times change, as wizards, paying attention to etiquette is not only responsible for our bloodline, but also represents our responsibility for our lives. manner.

Therefore, I would like to thank Ms. Narcissa, I know you must have prepared carefully for a long time so that I can taste the authentic afternoon tea and delicious desserts."

Moriarty stood up and nodded to Narcissa, who stood up and smiled back.

"I am also grateful to Mr. Lucius for his enthusiasm and hospitality, allowing me to enjoy my first pure-blood aristocratic afternoon tea after arriving in the UK."

Moriarty smiled and said to Lucius. Lucius stood up and bowed solemnly: "This is my honor, sir."

At this time, the Malfoys knew that Moriarty was leaving, and it was Lucius's turn to say something grand. He stretched out his hand to Moriarty, and some high-sounding words jumped out of his mouth. When he finished speaking, Mori Arty shook hands with him and said lightly: "Seize the time and seize the opportunity."

Lucius nodded solemnly, and after Moriarty said goodbye to him, he walked out of Malfoy Manor without looking back. Moriarty was exhausted and he never wanted to experience these hypocritical entertainments again.

But the goal was achieved, Lucius agreed to visit the Jewish Marquis, and Moriarty only had to wait for the good news at Hogwarts.

Oh, by the way, I also tasted Narcissa's desserts, so this trip to Malfoy Manor was worthwhile.

Narcissa was also exhausted. She made four plates of desserts with her own hands and brought them up and down four times!

After Moriarty left, she took out her wand and pointed it at the golden dining table: "Recover quickly!"

All the utensils flew down the stairs and into the cupboards. Narcissa sat down on the chair, not even bothering to move her fingers.

But Narcissa did not appreciate the hard work of the house elf, and instead shouted naturally: "Dobby! Go clean the kitchen!"

At this time, Lucius came back. He had no time to comfort the tired Narcissa and the aggrieved Draco. He got into the study and started writing a letter. He wanted to activate some business contacts and find the residence of the Jewish Marquis.
