Hogwarts behind-the-scenes big boss

Chapter 67 The Daily Prophet

The little wizards who got the newspaper also saw this shocking news.

A heated discussion broke out, mixed with prayers and a touch of ridicule.

"Is this person dead? There is a green leaf on his head! This seems to indicate something, haha, it's so interesting!"

Several little lions who had not entered the school hospital gathered together and laughed.

They soon felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere around them, and many resentful glances were directed at them.

"Stop talking nonsense, this person is the school governor of Hogwarts!" The Weasley twins came over, each stretched out a hand and pressed their heads on the table, "Be respectful."

Even Weasley, who had no dealings with the Malfoy family, expressed great sympathy for this incident.

Percy took the two of them to a safe seat. Percy frequently looked towards the Slytherin table. Based on his understanding of Moriarty, something big was about to happen...

The little wizards on the Slytherin table were shocked beyond measure.

"Merlin! Lucius Malfoy??? the leading pure-blood family leader?"

"He's dead! He's dead! The head was cut off and placed next to the body..."

"Merlin, sir..."

"Damn French guy! This is a provocation! Choice!!! No matter who the murderer is, he is provoking the British wizard! That bastard is challenging the dignity of pure blood!"

They didn't bother to eat breakfast - the golden croissant in Leon's hand fell out and hit him on the instep, while he stared blankly at the newspaper without any intention of picking up the bread.

The purebloods around him opened their eyes wide, became angry, and banged the table!

Jericho looked at the magic photo of Lucius' death with his mouth wide open. The mixture of cereal and chocolate was already flowing from his mouth, but he didn't know it.

Marcus's hands were shaking so much that Muggles might think he had Parkinson's disease.

Lilith covered her mouth with one hand and straightened the newspaper with the other. Her face was pale. Although it was not as pale as Lucius's severed head, it was scary enough.

Lilith, who has an extraordinary political sense, has a premonition that a war seems inevitable...

She glanced at Moriarty worriedly, and saw that Moriarty's eyes were like daggers, as if the newspaper was the murderer of Lucius. Even though they were a few seats away, Lilith could feel the murderous aura in him.

Moriarty read every word in the Daily Prophet carefully.

The headlines of the Daily Prophet were all bolded and replaced with bright blood red.

The plasma-like magic ink hadn't had time to dry yet, and it was obvious that the Daily Prophet had rushed out.

The front page headline: "Mr. Lucius Malfoy, the current head of the Malfoy family, is confirmed to have been killed and died in Marseille, France!"

Page 2: "Preliminary investigation, Lucius Malfoy was killed by a vampire!"

Page 3: "The British and French ministries of magic jointly want to hunt for the vampire murderer!"

Page 4: "Exclusive report, the reason why Lucius went to France!"

Fifth edition, sixth edition, seventh edition...

More than ten pages of newspapers were all about Lucius!

"Ding dong~ It was detected that Lucius Malfoy completed the mission to find out the secret of the ancestor of vampires, but failed to return safely, so the reward for this mission will be deducted in half, and the host will be rewarded with 40,000 points!"

The system's prompts gradually calmed down Moriarty's anger, and it turned out that Lucius had found out the secret.

In other words, some vampires did not want Lucius to bring the secret back to England, so the vampires intercepted and killed Lucius on his way back!

In order to confirm his thoughts, Moriarty opened the report.

It read: On the evening of September 11, 1989, the body of Lucius Malfoy was discovered by three French Aurors on a country road in the old port of Marseille, France.

Although Lucius was accompanied by three wizards from the Malfoy family and two French Aurors (Note 1), he was still attacked by the enemy.

French Minister of Magic Vonvey Capet said: "Mr. Lucius arrived at the French Ministry of Magic on the morning of September 10th. He applied to the ministry for two Aurors to assist him in visiting the Jewish Marquis."

Seeing this, Moriarty calculated the date and found that Lucius had arrived in France on September 10th, which meant that it took Lucius less than a day to find the address of the Jewish Marquis.

Is it so easy to check? Or is it a trap?

Moriarty read on.

Fengwei Cape said that he sent two Aurors to Lucius - the apparent reason was that Lucius stuffed him with a lot of gold galleons.

The real reason was that he wanted to know what exactly Lucius and the Jewish Marquis were talking about.

Zhengchou couldn't find an excuse to go to the scene to listen in person. When he met Lucius's request, he naturally sent Aurors, named to protect Lucius, but actually for surveillance.

The Aurors reported to Feng Wei Cape that late at night on September 10, Lucius officially visited the Jewish Marquis. (Note 2)

So far, the Aurors have never reported any information to Feng Wei.

On the morning of September 11th, Minister Feng Wei, who could not sit still, sent three teams of Aurors to look for Lucius, but found nothing.

What is dramatic is that in the early morning of September 11, two Muggles (one man and one woman) accidentally discovered Lucius's body and head while doing unspeakable exercises in the woods near the old port of Marseille.

The female Muggle was frightened to death on the spot, and the male Muggle called the police. When the police were dispatched, they were discovered by a French Auror and they found Mr. Lucius!

Minister Feng Wei expressed regret: "When we rushed over, Mr. Lucius was already dead! There was not a drop of blood in his body, and his head was as dry as a deflated rubber ball. Sorry... I can't go on.

.”

When announcing the news to the public, Fengwei Cape cried many times. He described the death of Mr. Lucius with difficulty, as if to prove that the murderer of Mr. Lucius was a vampire!

"Our Aurors and the Aurors of the British Ministry of Magic were dispatched together. Through the battle traces at the scene and the two small round hole-shaped wounds on the right side of Lucius's neck, we have confirmed that the murderer is a vampire!

Although his three wizards and two brave French Aurors were missing, they left traces of the curses of their battle at the scene, so we have reason to suspect that they have been killed..."

Fengwei Capet made an announcement on behalf of the French Ministry of Magic, and then rushed to the Jewish Marquis Castle. (Note 3)

According to Minister Feng Wei, the Jewish Marquis and his family's vampires were not the murderers of Lucius.

Note 1: It has been confirmed that the reason why the two Aurors became bodyguards is extremely dirty and involves powerful transactions and politics)

Note 2: As we all know, vampires don’t like sunlight, and Lucius came to visit the same day he arrived in Marseille. Although it is a bit unreasonable, he may be so anxious because of his eagerness to return home.

This speculation is not unfounded. Mr. Lucius's appearance in the old port of Marseille undoubtedly indicates that he is preparing to return to England on a cruise ship.

Note 3: Feng Wei Cape refused to disclose the specific address of the Jewish Marquis. After repeated inquiries, our reporter only confirmed that the Jewish Marquis lived in a castle. We can only use "Jewish Marquis Castle" instead.

The above is the entire content of the front page and the second page.

Moriarty threw the four newspapers aside.

There was no shortage of cynicism about French wizards and French people in the newspapers, but they still adopted Vonvi Capet's statement that Lucius was killed by a vampire!

The biggest suspect is undoubtedly the Jewish Marquis, but if it’s not a Jew, who is it?

Moriarty opened the remaining newspapers.

After reading the French wizard’s statement, let’s take a look at the British wizard’s investigation.

The British Ministry of Magic claimed that the first thing Minister Feng Wei did after receiving the news of Lucius's death was to notify the British Ministry of Magic.

Millicent Bagnold dragged her old body with a portkey to resist France. After entering the French Ministry of Magic, she vomited for a long time.

Lucius's death scene was completed by Aurors from both countries, and Rufus Scrimgeour, then director of the British Auror Office, confirmed von Wy Cappe's statement.

Subsequently, the British Ministry of Magic released official news that Lucius had died at the hands of a vampire.

After Fengwei Capet came out of the Jewish Marquis Castle, the British Ministry of Magic and the French Ministry of Magic jointly wanted to arrest the unknown vampire killer! (Note 1)

Note: Minister Millicent Bagno expressed strong dissatisfaction with von Wey Capet's secret meeting with the Jewish Marquis.

She said that if Feng Wei did not reveal the address of the Jewish Marquis, the British wizards would have reason to believe that the Jewish Marquis colluded with the French Ministry of Magic to murder Mr. Lucius!

However, our Minister Bagno is old after all. Although Mr. Moriarty's victory in the bet with the alchemy master Nico Flamel has brought her a lot of glory, she is about to step down - Feng Wei also

Know this.

So Feng Wei acted very tough.

Likewise, the always hard-line Director Rufus Scrimgeour - he roared at Feng Wei like a lion and asked British Aurors to enter the Jewish Margrave Castle to investigate and collect evidence.

Currently, the Ministry of Magic of the two countries is in a stalemate over this issue.

Page four, seventh newspaper.

Moriarty saw the officially certified reason for Lucius's trip to Marseille.

It is reported that two days ago in the afternoon, the Malfoy family inquired about the address of the Jewish Marquis in the wizarding and Muggle worlds.

Through family business, the mixed-race vampire in France contacted Lucius.

We have reason to suspect that Lucius found the address of the Jewish Marquis through those hybrid vampires and submitted a request to visit the Jewish Marquis.

However, when the British Aurors asked the French Aurors where those hybrid vampires were, they said they didn't know!
