Hogwarts behind-the-scenes big boss

Luke straightened his back and said loudly like a soldier: "I guarantee you, Master, you will have first-hand information!"

After saying this, he sent out all the house elves in the castle as if he were commanding a military operation, and they threatened to surround the headquarters of the Daily Prophet.

Obviously this method was very efficient. Moriarty got the latest "Daily Prophet" after finishing his morning tea.

The title was bolded in black and read: "Gilderoy Lockhart's new book "In Hidden with Slytherin" How many secrets are there in the wizarding world that we don't know?"

Moriarty unfolded the newspaper and read: "The most popular best-selling author Gilderoy Lockhart returns to Diagon Alley with a new book and holds a new book launch conference at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore..."

Below is a photo of Lockhart. The Daily Prophet has reproduced all of Lockhart's speeches at the book launch.

Moriarty read it with as much gusto as if he were watching a live broadcast.

Today, Lockhart is wearing a colorful robe and has his hair styled into golden waves.

"I, Gilderoy Lockhart! I won the Wizarding Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award three times - I don't want to talk about it, but did you know? The last direct blood relative of Salazar Slytherin is

Compliment my smile!

Oh, oh! Wizards, I know you must be surprised, you may think I am a liar, but no one dares to joke about Slytherin - I mean, Salazar Slytherin, one of the Big Four at Hogwarts

Lytlin still has descendants alive and has returned to the British wizarding world!

Quiet! Wizards, don’t be like Muggles who have never seen the world, even though the first time I heard the news, my reaction was similar to yours, haha."

Lockhart laughed at himself, which resonated with most wizards. He showed his bright teeth, causing several witches to scream.

"But we are wizards! Take out our wands, ladies and gentlemen!" Lockhart took out the wand first, "Oh, don't point the wand at me, let us pick up the wand and call Slytherin!"

Yes, that's right, you heard it right, it's calling Slytherin!

I know many of us are not from Slytherin House, but the reason why we can learn magic and go to Hogwarts is because of Salazar Slytherin!

When the Gaunt family died, we thought Slytherin was extinct. When there were fewer and fewer wizarding families in Godric's Hollow, we thought Gryffindor's descendants would never appear again.

But when I saw the descendants of Slytherin in Eastern Tibet, I was extremely convinced that a new era was about to come!" Lockhart's cheeks turned red with excitement.

"Yes, yes, you guessed it, the Renaissance!

Please note, this is a magic renaissance, not a wizard renaissance!

Believe me, within a few years, people in Europe, America, Africa, Asia...all over the world will be cheering!"

"You think I'm going to say that the name the world is cheering for is Slytherin?

No no, the name of cheering is called magic!

Slytherin belongs to magic, and we also belong to magic! And Moriarty Slytherin is the person who will lead the world to magic!"

Lockhart raised his wand above his head and shouted to the crowd: "Now, let us call Slytherin!"

"Slytherin!!!" The wizards shouted loudly while waving their wands as if performing a ritual.

There was also a handful of wizards who shouted "Moriarty", apparently realizing that the descendant of Slytherin was named Moriarty.

"Very good, great!" Lockhart clapped his hands with satisfaction. He took out his latest novel from the bookstore. The novel was of medium thickness. The cover showed a gray-haired boy riding a broomstick and carrying Lockhart through the air.

Beautiful pictures of passing snowy mountains.

"You can come and buy a book. This time, "In Tibet with Slytherin" is a limited edition. A book costs twelve gold Galleons and twelve silver Sickles. I will stay here for three hours.

My fan signature."

Lockhart blinked at a group of witches, but the wizards were in no mood to pay attention to Lockhart. They rushed to the bookstore like crazy, and the crowd became crowded and messy.

In order to squeeze into the bookstore, the wizard in the back had to cast a spell on the wizard in front. Two Slytherin students even recited a spell: the black dragon came out of the hole and summoned two black snakes.

Lockhart stood on a chair and said embellished: "Has anyone bought the novel? Can you see if what I said is true? I am willing to take responsibility for what I said!"

The crowd became even more crowded. The wizard who grabbed the novel first threw a money bag to the clerk, wrapped the novel tightly in his arms with his robe, and apparated away.

Many wizards do this because they are afraid that others will snatch away the novel in their arms.

But more wizards, especially the young wizards from Slytherin House, started reading the novel in Diagon Alley after buying it.

"Oh Merlin!" A wizard who had read a few pages of the novel covered his mouth and shouted: "Parseltongue, Slytherin staff! It's true! Moriarty is really a descendant of Slytherin!"

Immediately, a group of wizards came forward to take a look, and then the wizards' exclamations continued to ring out in Diagon Alley.

"Look here," a wizard pointed at a passage in the novel and read: "Moriarty waved the Slytherin staff and manipulated the branches to carve a magic circle on the snow. Lockhart realized that it might be

Slytherin's family magic, in order to cooperate with Moriarty, Lockhart bravely rushed to the dark wizard...

Lockhart was pointed at by the dark wizard's wand, and when he saw that a heart-breaking bullet was about to fall on him, Moriarty shouted: 'Dance of the Ice Serpent'..."

The wizard waved his wand vigorously, as if he was carving a magic circle and shouted: "Moriarty defeated the Dark Wizard with a magic circle! I bet that must be the magic left by Salazar Slytherin!"

"

Many wizards echoed: "Yes, it's not surprising that Moriarty summoned the ice snake, you know, he is a parselmouth!"

A witch's voice came from the side: "Oh Moriarty~ He looks so handsome when he rides on the broom! He saved Lockhart! They are my two favorite people!"

She had already seen the content near the end, tilting her head and imagining: "Oh my God, I really want to see Moriarty riding a broom and playing Quidditch."

Several wizards held the novel and analyzed it: "I now believe what Lockhart said. Who dares to believe that Moriarty is only ten and a half years old?"

"If it weren't for the large amount of detailed descriptions and combat descriptions in the novel, I would not hesitate to question the authenticity of this novel! But it's a pity..." A tall, well-dressed wizard shook his head, "Morrie

Artie's description of the magic circle is too real. You must know that the magic circle recorded in my family's magic book is not so detailed."

Several wizards frowned after hearing this. Looking at the novel in their hands, they suddenly felt an indescribable feeling.

At this time, the group of wizards who had Apparated the novel came back again. They pushed aside the crowd and entered the bookstore with only "In Tibet with Slytherin" in their eyes. They did not hide the fanaticism in their eyes and took out a box.

Put books in it!

"Oh no!" The well-dressed wizard suddenly had an idea: "They are sent by major families! The pure-blood families want to divide the novel among themselves in order to learn Moriarty's magic circle!"

"Put down that book!"

The wizards broke out, and they finally realized what the indescribable feeling was. Although they didn't know Parseltongue, they might be able to learn the magic circle!

After discovering the value of "In Tibet with Slytherin", some wizards began to believe in what Lockhart said, but more wizards rushed into Flourish and Blotts Bookstore again.

Lockhart shouted: "Hey, hey! Pay attention to the image! I don't expect you to read the whole story calmly, because I am the same. I couldn't control my hands when I wrote the story. It shook.

stop.

But I hope you can maintain your wizard demeanor and don't fight and tear this treasure apart like a troll!

Behold, since you realize its value, you should not destroy it.

Oh damn, you stepped on my shoes..."

Lockhart bent down and put on his shoes again, and couldn't help but smile where no one else could see him. The group of wizards who snatched the books were invited by the Foley family, and this was what they had agreed upon.

When they saw the manuscript, the Foley family really wanted to secretly learn Moriarty's magic circle, but they gave up after finding that they couldn't learn it no matter how hard they tried, and cooperated with Lockhart in holding the press conference.

Lockhart raised his head and scanned the crowd. More and more wizards were arriving. There were no customers in other shops in Diagon Alley, and even many store managers were grabbing books.

Suddenly he saw Rita Skeeter, and they both smiled.

Lockhart knew that the novel was popular, while Rita remembered the gold brick she got a few days ago, and she had to write a good report.
