Hogwarts behind-the-scenes big boss

Chapter 9 Moriarty in Diagon Alley

Moriarty finished reading the report about the book launch and turned the newspaper to the second page: celebrity interviews.

Rita Skeeter wrote: ""Slytherin in Tibet" conquered the British wizards in only three hours. With our critical eyes, we couldn't find any faults. Senior officials of the Ministry of Magic and all walks of life expressed their displeasure.

Eminent people have expressed varying degrees of praise, and for a century, no book has had such an honor."

Below are pictures and reports from Rita's interviews with celebrities.

First up is the author Gilderoy Lockhart.

He looked refreshing in the photo, and he commented: "Since I met Moriarty, my life has been as great as drinking a bottle of elixir that never expires!"

Then there is the head of the Foley family, Nar Foley, who appears for the first time since the First Wizarding War.

Moriarty looked at the old man in the picture. Lockhart mentioned to him the old Foley family. His wife passed away very early, his son died in the First Wizarding War, and only this half of the entire Foley family was buried.

The old guy who went into the dirt.

Facing the interview, Old Foley made a cold joke: "You ask me Mr. Moriarty? I think I am right to call him that. His outstanding performance makes us ignore his age.

Mr. Moriarty reminds me of Salazar Slytherin. I have no doubt about his talent. Maybe he will open a magic school and only admit children from pure-blood families."

Amelia Bones, the current director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic, expressed a different view on this, but also spoke highly of Moriarty.

She said: "Old Foley is too sensitive. Mr. Moriarty will be admitted to Hogwarts - there is no doubt about it. Think about it, what a descendant of Slytherin will do to Hogwarts after enrolling in Hogwarts."

What changes will this bring?

Just like Mr. Lockhart said, Mr. Moriarty belongs to magic, and so do we, whether pure blood or mixed blood."

Under the interview between Old Foley and Bones, Rita Skeeter added without any confusion: "The above two arguments about bloodline remind us of Mr. Moriarty's noble origin, but Hogwart

An unnamed Defense Against the Dark Arts professor expressed a puzzling view on this."

"The magic that Mr. Moriarty used in Dongzang belongs to the category of black magic, but it is judged according to the standards of modern magic - I mean, Slytherin's family magic is not divided into black magic or white magic.

So when did we start to differentiate between magic? I think..."

Before the professor could finish his words, Rita abandoned him. Rita wanted news, not a lesson.

Moriarty couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.

This professor is quite interesting. If there is a chance to meet him, Moriarty would like to talk to him, because it is obvious that he is a wizard who really thinks about magic.

It's a pity that time has abandoned him, and Rita wrote what he said in the newspaper just to add laughter.

Moriarty watched some more interviews, and all of them were praiseworthy.

At the end of the report, Rita emphatically wrote: "Many magic books are preparing to write the story of Mr. Moriarty and his magic circle into their books.

These magic books include, but are not limited to, "History of Magic", "History of Modern Magic", "Magic Theory", "Magic Defense Theory", "The Rise and Fall of Dark Magic", "Important Magic Events of the Twentieth Century", "The Major Events of Modern Magic"

Discover"……

This is really unbelievable, but there is no doubt that Mr. Moriarty has this ability. According to reliable records, the last person to be listed in major magic books was none other than the headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Dune.

Bullido.

We don't know if "Hogwarts: A History" will add Mr. Moriarty's deeds. Maybe we will know after Mr. Moriarty enrolls in school.

However, according to Rubeus Hagrid, the keykeeper and gamekeeper of Hogwarts, Mr. Moriarty seems to be related to the riot that occurred in Hogwarts a few months ago. It is obvious that this is another unprovoked incident.

The accusation..."

"Hogwarts, riot?"

Moriarty wondered how there could be a riot in Hogwarts in 1987, but Hagrid would not lie.

"Luke!" Moriarty called his house elf, "I want the Daily Prophet for the entire year of 1987."

"Yes! My young master, if the young master wants a whole year's worth of daily prophets, Luke will bring them to the young master! Although this is very difficult." Luke was about to go out with high morale.

"Wait a minute," Moriarty called him: "According to the plan, it's time for me to go to Diagon Alley. I'll notify Lockhart and let him make arrangements."

The house elves in the castle were busy. They kept taking out ancient and luxurious wizard robes from the dressing room to dress Moriarty.

Two hours later, Moriarty, accompanied by Ingo and Luke, appeared in Diagon Alley.

When the first wizard accidentally saw Moriarty's gray hair and gray eyes, he shouted: "Look! Is he Mr. Moriarty? I was in "Hogwarts: A History"

I’ve seen that Salazar Slytherin also has gray hair and gray eyes!”

When he did this, more wizards had quickly walked towards Moriarty, their eyes firmly fixed on Moriarty, as if they were looking at a priceless rare treasure.

Luke looked around warily, as if he was about to cast a curse on the crowd at any moment.

Moriarty took his time and walked calmly towards Ollivander's Wand Shop.

At this moment, Lockhart, Rita, and a large group of reporters arrived and stopped the restless wizards.

This was planned by Moriarty and Lockhart. Lockhart made a "stop" gesture to the wizards and said in an unprecedented serious tone: "Ladies and gentlemen, I know you

I really want to know Moriarty, I want to know everything about him. But I ask you to control yourselves!

Moriarty is undoubtedly a genius! But genius needs training and space to grow. He loves magic and is immersed in the world of magic. He doesn't want others to disturb him.

But at the same time, he is extremely affable. He knows that he has a large number of fans, so for these fans, he is willing to spare some time to answer their questions.

And I, Gilderoy Lockhart! It is my honor to be the link between you and Moriarty!"

The crowd burst into cheers, and Lockhart smiled with satisfaction: "If you have any questions, just ask them, one by one, and I will take some of them and pass them on to Moriarty!"

"Let me do it! I am so fascinated by the magic circle used by Mr. Moriarty!"

"No, it should be me first. I was here an hour ago."

The wizards scrambled to get up, and one even released a "loud voice" for himself, so that his question could be fully transmitted to Lockhart's ears.

Lockhart was a little overwhelmed by the crowd that was getting out of control, but luckily Rita's action rescued him.

Rita took a photographer to take pictures of Moriarty's back. She said: "Mr. Moriarty allowed us to take some photos of his first visit to Diagon Alley. This is a good opportunity to get close to Mr. Moriarty."

.

You must know that at the end of Mr. Lockhart's novel, Mr. Moriarty returned to the castle left to him by Salazar Slytherin, and it is difficult for us to see him outside."

The voice reached the crowd, and the wizards immediately let Lockhart go. Questions could be asked at any time, but Moriarty might not come to Diagon Alley for a long time.

The wizards were unwilling to miss this opportunity. They saw Moriarty walking into Ollivander's Wand Shop.

A wizard asked: "Don't Mr. Moriarty have a Slytherin staff? Why do you need a wand?"

Lockhart cleared his throat: "You don't need Moriarty to answer this question. I, who have devoted my life to anti-black magic, can tell you the answer! Moriarty did this to study the difference between modern magic and ancient magic!

"

The wizards outside the store were discussing, and Moriarty walked into the store, and Ollivander greeted him.

"Moriarty Slytherin? I never thought I would one day sell a wand to the Slytherins.

So, child - oh, I don't mean to offend, I know many people call you sir now, but in front of wandology, you are really just a child, and even I am just an apprentice, okay?

So are you ready for your first magic wand?"

Ollivander's voice was very soft, but his words were extremely weighty. Moriarty looked at the old man in front of him for a few times. If he had said this to others, he would definitely sneer at that person, but Moriarty could tell

Ollivander's sincerity.

"Okay sir," Moriarty nodded politely, "I know your rules. Both my left and right hands can be used to cast spells."

"Ah, yes," Ollivander looked at the Slytherin staff in Moriarty's hand with envy, "I have read Lockhart's novel, I know."

It was obvious that Ollivander wanted to hold the Slytherin staff in his hand and examine it, but he resisted. He pulled out a long box from the wall, took out the wand and handed it to Moriarty.

"Try this one. It's eleven and one-third inches long. It's made of acacia wood and has a core of thunderbird tail feathers."
