Hogwarts behind-the-scenes big boss

Chapter 98 Lockhart's

Early mornings in England are always shrouded in heavy fog. In the Office of the Minister of Magic, Millicent Bagno sat on a velvet armchair, waiting for her assistants and advisors to deliver the damn document to her.

In the early hours of the morning, Bagnot received a shouting letter from the Director of the International Magical Cooperation Department.

The retiring director told her that the British Ministry of Magic had been sued by the International Confederation of Wizards and the European Wizards Association.

Also accused was Hogwarts second-year student Moriarty Slytherin.

The British Ministry of Magic is accused of sending wizards to infiltrate French territory without going through any normal diplomatic channels.

Moriarty Slytherin was accused of using dark magic to freeze France's national treasure, the Eiffel Tower.

After the roaring letter was burned, Bagno received a resignation letter from the director.

Barty Crouch is the unofficial next director and will take office next year. Now it seems that he will have to take up the post earlier.

But that's not the point!

Lucius Malfoy's body has not yet been buried, and the British Ministry of Magic has not yet asked for an explanation from the French Ministry of Magic. Instead, Fengwei Capet complained first?

As for the Eiffel Tower being frozen?

Bagno just wanted to say that there is such a good thing?

She dared to say that the British wizard's attitude towards this matter was definitely a happy one.

If it was really Moriarty who did this, the people would regard Moriarty as a hero!

But there is a problem.

Bagno frowned. She knew Fengwei Capet as a tough and calculating person who never did anything he was unsure of.

So did Moriarty freeze the Eiffel Tower?

Until now, Bagno has not come to a conclusion, so she asked her assistants and consultants to investigate the chaos in France in the past month.

"Knock, knock, knock." The office door rang, and two assistants and five consultants walked in. Each of them held a large stack of information, with several thick books floating behind them.

Bagno was a little unbelievable, "So many accidents happened in France in one month?"

"Believe me, there are more accidents than these." The assistant was sweating profusely.

Bagno took a deep breath. It seemed that he had to work overtime again today.

At this time, another assistant ran into the office panting, holding up a newspaper in his hand: "The latest "Paris Times"! On the front page, on behalf of the Ministry of Magic, Fengwei Capet officially announced that the strange behavior of the Eiffel Tower was not

Naturally, it’s not a phenomenon, but it’s the dark magic of a British wizard!”

Bagno took the newspaper, glanced at it quickly, and dropped it on his desk with a "pop" sound.

"Does Feng Wei want to start a war? Look between the lines, what does he describe between us and the Ministry of Magic?" Bagno was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and his head was throbbing with migraines.

That's what she said, but she didn't want to go to war with the French wizard at all.

Please Merlin please let her go and don't let fate torture her again.

Her political career is coming to an end, and she will leave office in more than half a year. She just wants to spend the rest of her time in power smoothly.

At present, it seems that this wish cannot be realized.

"Minister! Minister——"

A staff member from the Public Information Office of the Ministry of Magic ran over, out of breath, but did not forget to wave the light yellow newspaper in his hand.

Bagno sat on the chair frustrated. Needless to say, she knew that it was another troublesome matter.

However, the wizard happily put the newspaper on his desk and said: "Look, my minister, look! Mr. Lockhart held a book launch conference in Paris. How amazing he is!"

Bagnor didn't react for a moment, so what about Lockhart?

Wait, Paris, France?

She rushed to the newspaper and read it aloud.

"The front page news of "The Idea" - Gilderoy Lockhart landed in Paris, France with his new book "Dancing with Vampires at the Eiffel Tower"!

In the second edition, Mr. Lockhart claimed that wizards could find the answers to all their questions in his new book.

We may be able to find clues about how the Eiffel Tower turned into an ice sculpture.

The third edition of "Dancing with Vampires at the Eiffel Tower" is now on sale. As the only French distributor designated by Mr. Lockhart, this newspaper enjoys preferential discount rights.

The new novel originally cost 7 Galleons, but now it only costs 4 Galleons and 16 Sickles!

For the fourth edition, Mr. Lockhart's exclusive interview will be held at 12 noon today on Rose Street in York, France.

On the fifth page, fans flocked to Paris in large numbers and complained that Mr. Lockhart had not informed them in advance,"

This pornographic tabloid had several pages in a row, all filled with news about Lockhart. Bagno read it twice word for word, took a few deep breaths, and tried to keep his tone as calm as possible.

"According to this newspaper, Gilderoy Lockhart was jealous of a vampire, and then a conflict broke out between the two parties. Their magical battle caused abnormalities in the Eiffel Tower?"

"Well... Ideo is just a little-known tabloid in the French wizarding world. Because the newspaper president is a mixed-race wizard, it was once suppressed by the Paris Times."

The clerk carefully considered the words and explained them so that his minister could understand the context as quickly as possible.

"I think Mr. Lockhart must have specifically sought out Le Idea in order to compete with the Paris Times."

At the end, he added his own opinion.

Bagno was indifferent. As the Minister of Magic, she still had a certain understanding of Lockhart's background.

Lockhart is an expert at marketing his works, but was he really the one who unleashed the magic that froze the Eiffel Tower?

"Buy his new book immediately."

"Okay, Minister, I'll go right away! But you may have to wait a little longer, because the sales location is in Paris! I suggest you have breakfast first."

At the same time, the Daily Prophet reported on Lockhart's new book and the quarrel between the two French newspapers.

The young wizards at Hogwarts finished reading "The Daily Prophet" at the dining table, and their hearts were filled with respect for Lockhart.

"Sir," Marcus said in a voice that only he and Moriarty could hear: "Isn't this why you asked Lockhart to go to France?"

Moriarty put down the newspaper and looked deeply.

"It's time for Lockhart to take the next step."

He closed his eyes and tapped his index finger on the table.

Sending Lockhart to France to put an end to the Hogwarts pure-blood army was a plan he had made before he decided to go to Paris.

But because Hogwarts was controlled by Dracula, he had to send Lockhart out in advance.

This is too suspicious.

Every wizard in Hogwarts knows that Moriarty led 35 purebloods to France.

But Lockhart stood up and said that he was responsible for a series of events that happened in France, and even wrote a novel to prove it.

It’s just a shame!

Dumbledore must have begun to doubt the relationship between Moriarty and Lockhart.

But it doesn't matter, Moriarty has plenty of ways to dispel Dumbledore's suspicion, or in other words, let Dumbledore reduce his suspicion to a minimum.

Dumbledore's suspicion alone cannot affect Lockhart's reputation - with the promotion of the new book, Lockhart will soon gain a lot of popularity. This time, I am afraid that even the pure-blood family will owe him a favor.

!

Lockhart's status in British wizarding circles can be further improved...

Stand up for British purebloods, exterminate the Quinlan vampires, and freeze the Eiffel Tower.

Any one of the three things is enough to make the British wizards cheer, but what will happen when the three things focus on Lockhart?

Moriarty didn't know what would happen because he didn't tell Lockhart how to end it. Now that he was in a foreign country, Lockhart had to do everything he wanted.

Obviously, Lockhart chose the method he is best at, writing.

He picked up the shorthand quill and wrote down his half-truth and half-false stories in words. At the press conference at 12 noon, can Lockhart perform perfectly to resolve the friction between France and Britain?

To ensure Lockhart's success, Moriarty called out the system.

"System, list the magic that I can redeem to enhance the strength of others!"
