Hogwarts behind-the-scenes big boss

"Your expressions are so funny. What did the Headless Vampire Ancestor do to you?" the Headless Knight crossed his arms and asked meaningfully.

"Nothing," Moriarty said before Dumbledore and Diana, "Mr. Armor, you seem to know a lot about vampires?"

"So-so."

The Headless Horseman muttered, and he sat down again, his tone becoming deeper: "King Arthur has many opponents, but vampires are not included. But Merlin - he likes to cause trouble, or in other words, trouble always finds him.

According to Merlin, the headless vampire ancestor can be traced back to the ancient Roman Empire, where a vampire named Dracula transformed into a warrior general of the empire.

He was famous for his cruelty. He would often insert a long wooden stick into the anus of prisoners of war and then pass it through the entire body and out of the mouth. Then he would stand the wooden stick high and torture the prisoners of war to death.

Later, Dracula was captured alive by the rebels during a rebellion. In order to retaliate against Dracula, the rebels tortured him in the same way Dracula tortured prisoners of war and discovered his true identity. In order to prevent this vampire from sucking people

Blood, the rebels cut off Dracula's head.

However, as a vampire, Dracula possesses magical power beyond ordinary people's imagination, and his soul is also very powerful. Having his head cut off only greatly reduces his strength, but it also makes him more cruel.

Due to the rebellion, Dracula began to take revenge on the Europeans. After King Arthur led us Knights of the Round Table to drive the invaders out of Great Britain, Dracula's target of revenge became King Arthur.

Dracula attacked King Arthur several times, each time being blocked by Merlin. When King Arthur got the Sword in the Lake, King Arthur could fight alongside Merlin.

When Dracula came to harass King Arthur again, the king used the Sword in the Lake to cut off Dracula's left arm. The greatly weakened Dracula was no longer evenly matched with Merlin.

Merlin and King Arthur worked together to kill Dracula and put Dracula's soul in my armor."

"In your armor? So are we facing the Headless Horseman or the Headless Vampire Ancestor?" Moriarty's voice sent chills down the spine.

"The Headless Horseman, of course."

The Headless Horseman collapsed to the ground and showed them the mysterious runes on his wrists and ankles.

"Strictly speaking, I am the armor of the Headless Horseman, but Merlin used a series of alchemical magic to transfer the thoughts and consciousness of the Headless Horseman to this armor before his death, thereby sealing Dracula.

container.

Look at these four runes, they guarantee that I will not be contaminated by Dracula's soul.

Little Slytherin, you are actually not unfamiliar with this magic. You already have the necessary conditions and foundation to use it. Think of alchemy."

Alchemical Matrix!

Moriarty was extremely convinced that he was talking about the Alchemical Matrix.

The Headless Horseman continued: "In order to make this seal last forever, Merlin and old Slytherin worked together to make a portrait of me. In order that future generations cannot destroy me, I have no mural.

Oh, but who would have thought, little Slytherin? You would threaten me with destroying the entire castle's murals!

If you really did that, what would the old Slytherin think when he saw the bare walls?

Oh, shocking! What a crazy descendant!"

The Headless Horseman stood up and imitated Salazar's tone and said to Moriarty.

But what he learned was nothing like it, but the atmosphere became more relaxed.

Dumbledore listened carefully to the Headless Horseman's long speech, and then asked questions.

"Mr. Headless Horseman, do you think the four incidents that happened in the castle are related to Dracula's soul?"

"You think it's Dracula's soul that affects the students at Hogwarts! You can say it directly, Mr. Principal, it's okay, I don't mind if you doubt me."

The Headless Horseman sighed heavily: "When I decided to seal Dracula, I was already prepared to be forgotten and misunderstood.

I voluntarily asked the king to pierce my neck with the sword in the lake, so I left the scar on my neck, just to get closer to Dracula's headless body.

I voluntarily asked Merlin to erase my existence and the traces I left in the world, just to cover up the truth of history. No one cares about me, and I will be sealed in the murals forever.

As for me being stored in Hogwarts in the form of a portrait - this is not my wish, but was decided by Merlin after consultation with the Big Four. I think Merlin probably thinks that Hogwarts is the best place to hide.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Who would have thought that the soul of a headless vampire ancestor would be sealed in Hogwarts?"

Dumbledore nodded sensibly. The moment Moriarty almost thought he had been persuaded, Dumbledore raised his eyebrows: "The Archmage Merlin has a well-planned plan, and the four giants have boundless power. But we are talking about the present.

What happened, did you see the fire phoenix in the castle?

Mr. Knight, if you can't answer my question directly, I think those fire phoenixes might fly into the mural.

Oh I know, you're going to say that the mural is protected by the Four and cannot be destroyed by magic - I know that.

But no matter what your identity is, your knowledge is still from a thousand years ago, or even further.

You don’t know what magic will look like in a thousand years. How do you know that wizards in a thousand years can’t use magic spells you’ve never seen before to do something to the portraits inside without damaging the murals...

It is true that ancient magic is very powerful, but modern magic may not be weaker than ancient magic.

Do you think so, Moriarty?"

"I totally agree with your point of view," Moriarty smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes. The Headless Horseman felt that Moriarty did it for him to see. The Headless Horseman heard Moriarty say

: "The power of magic is not determined by time, but by the caster himself."

Seeing that Dumbledore and Moriarty were intent on continuing their discussion, the Headless Horseman clapped his hands and made a sound of steel armor clashing.

"Bang bang bang!"

The three Moriarty looked at the Headless Horseman.

"Listen, I'm only going to say it once." The Headless Horseman's attitude was not very friendly, "I can responsibly tell you that the events that happened in Hogwarts have nothing to do with Dracula's soul."

"Humph, what a cheap guarantee." Diana sneered.

The Headless Horseman immediately turned his back to her and made a dull voice: "If you don't believe me, just go and investigate! Anyway, I can only stay in the mural and can't go anywhere."

"I tentatively believe what you say," Dumbledore nodded slightly towards the Headless Horseman: "But we will continue to investigate until the truth comes to light."

After saying these words, Dumbledore glanced at Moriarty and Diana, and the three of them slowly left.

"What do you think of what the Headless Horseman said?" Dumbledore waved the elder wand, retracted his phoenix light and shadow, and released the detection magic. He wanted to live for a while longer.

"Since he also mentioned the headless vampire ancestor, we can wait. I can't think of five days before Lucius will bring back the information we need." Moriarty said, walking quickly to the principal's office, he

To remove the enchantment from Hogwarts.

Diana stayed away from them. She walked towards her office, "I'm going to send a letter to the clan. The headless monster mentioned the Sword in the Lake. I want to see if what he said is true or false."

The elf priest tilted his head proudly, his long blond hair brought a gust of fragrant wind, and he stepped forward, "thumping" towards another flight of stairs.

Moriarty shrugged his shoulders. After going to the principal's office to remove the magic, he returned to the dormitory.

There was nothing to say all night, and it wasn't until eight o'clock the next morning that Moriarty got up and went to the auditorium to have breakfast.

The students have already sat at the long table, but nearly one-fifth of the seats are not filled.

Lilith and others greeted Moriarty. As soon as Moriarty sat down, Poseidon flew over with a roll of newspapers tied to his feet.

Then a large group of owls flew behind. The students were already accustomed to this scene and were just curious about the newspapers carried by the owls.

Today's Daily Prophet seems to be late.

Poseidon flew onto Moriarty's arm. Moriarty took off the newspaper, opened it casually and glanced at it for a few times, but his eyes suddenly widened.

With a "crash", Moriarty stood up and slammed the newspaper on the table, with unspeakable anger flashing in his eyes.

I saw a photo on the front page of the "Daily Prophet". A headless male corpse was lying upright on a grassy field. The male corpse was wearing a luxurious robe, and the badge embroidered on the collar was eye-catching.

Next to the corpse, there was a human head standing on the ground. Even though it was covered with a green leaf, the pale golden hair could be clearly seen.

The head is none other than Lucius Malfoy!
