Hogwarts behind-the-scenes big boss

Through the back and the fragrance emanating, Moriarty recognized the woman's identity, the widow Narcissa.

Now it is Mrs. Malfoy who succeeded Lucius as the school director.

She turned around, her skin was dazzlingly white. This woman seemed to know her greatest advantage and had specially chosen a white wizard robe. Her whole body seemed to be glowing.

"Moriarty," Narcissa slightly raised her noble and graceful neck and lightly opened her red lips: "I invite you to be my dance partner, will you agree?"

As she spoke, she gently tiptoed and showed a rare smile: "The combination of school directors and students will definitely shock everyone's jaws."

Moriarty didn't see her smiling face, only saw the two mountain peaks trembling, and he couldn't help but laugh. There is one thing about mature women that little witches can never match, that is, they are straightforward and straightforward without pretense.

Narcissa directly stating her intention made Moriarty less repulsive. He admired Narcissa's beautiful and holy face, but smiled apologetically: "I'm glad to hear your invitation, Mrs. Malfoy. But.

, I already have a dance partner."

Narcissa was rejected and did not feel disappointed.

No one knows how much determination it took for her to muster up the courage to ask Moriarty out and extend the invitation.

She just invited Moriarty with a trying mentality, and in the final analysis she intended to use Moriarty's reputation to support her.

If she can invite Moriarty, then at the ball, when she appears in front of everyone holding Moriarty's arm, all wizards will know that the Malfoy family has a powerful foreign aid.

Even if I was rejected, at least I no longer have the guilt of taking advantage of Moriarty.

Narcissa thought with relief, and her uneasy mood was replaced by deep curiosity in an instant: "Can I ask who the lucky girl is?"

"You know." Moriarty turned his attention to the Black Lake. The temperature had cooled down and all the magical creatures in the lake were hiding at the bottom.

Do I know him?

Narcissa's mood suddenly became terrible.

It felt like many years ago when she and her two sisters had their eyes on an evening dress at the same time.

But there was only one evening dress, and her eldest sister, Bellatrix Lestrange, who was still Bellatrix Black at the time, bought the dress without hesitation.

Narcissa could only watch with envy as her sister put on the most beautiful dress to attend the pure-blood party. Although she was also very beautiful, otherwise she would not have captured Lucius's heart, but Narcissa would never forget the mood she felt at that time.

In order to conceal her annoyance, Narcissa raised her right hand and brushed the ends of her hair, pretending to be nonchalant and said, "She's a girl from the Pilivik family, hmm... you guys look like they'll be a stunning pair."

"It's not Lilith." Moriarty glanced at Narcissa playfully, as if he wanted to tease her, "It's someone who is inextricably linked to you."

Not Lilith?

Narcissa's mood improved again, but when she heard the next words, she felt unhappy again.

I was defeated by someone I was inextricably connected to?

Narcissa recalled that many years ago, she had taken a fancy to a box of French white chocolates, but her second sister, Andromeda Black, had beaten her to it.

Such things happened frequently in Narcissa's girlhood. Even though she was a noble little princess of the Black family, there were always some things in this world that were unique.

At that time, Narcissa was the only one who felt wronged.

This situation did not change until she married into the Malfoy family. She became the hostess and could buy whatever she wanted. However, the girlish heart she had at that time gradually disappeared as the Dark Lord became more and more crazy.

Now that she was standing next to Moriarty, the sweet and sour girl's heart seemed to have returned to her body along with the magic of Hogwarts.

"I can't guess, tell me~" Narcissa said angrily.

Moriarty looked at her, not hiding the surprise in his eyes, "Mrs. Malfoy, maybe you need a glass of palliatives?"

Mrs. Malfoy, who had always been calm, suddenly clenched her fists, raised them and then lowered them. Suddenly she seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Moriarty with an intriguing look.

"You're not... deliberately making up a girl in order to reject me, are you?"

Narcissa regretted it as soon as she said it. Given her status and age, she shouldn't have said such words in a sour tone.

What would Moriarty think of her?

Sure enough, Moriarty walked around Narcissa three times. It wasn't until Narcissa got tired of being walked around and asked him angrily what he wanted to do that Moriarty stopped and said calmly: "I'm checking whether you are being taken away."

Someone manipulated you, or some wizard with ulterior motives drank the Polyjuice Potion and turned into you."

"What's the conclusion?" Narcissa looked at Moriarty with a half-smile: "Maybe you didn't see it. Do you want me to use my wand to prove it to myself?"

"Your wand is still in my hand." Moriarty flipped his wrist, and the silver and black gold handle wand was held in his hand.

Moriarty poked the soft flesh of Narcissa's waist with the tip of his wand, "It doesn't look fake, what do you think, Mrs. Malfoy?"

Narcissa bit her lip to prevent herself from making strange noises, and said angrily: "It's true, you..."

But Moriarty was no longer interested in talking to her. He took back his wand and walked towards the castle without looking back, "See you at the dinner, Mrs. Malfoy. By the way, you know my dance partner and you are familiar with her."

Her name is Tonks, you see, she is inextricably linked to you."

Narcissa stood motionless, "Tonks...?"

"Nymphadora Tonks? The daughter of second sister Andromeda..."

Narcissa realized that Moriarty's dance partner was her own niece, her face flushed and turned pale, she pulled her hair frantically, and then smiled bitterly.

The story of many years ago happened again.

However, Moriarty knew nothing about this. He had no interest in paying attention to the overt and covert fights between the three eldest ladies of the Black family, which happened decades ago.

His philosophy of life has always been to live recklessly, so he found Tonks in the Hufflepuff canteen.

"This aroma seems to be almond flavor?"

When Moriarty passed by, Tonks was cooking a dish, putting a small plate of green vegetables into a small pot to cook.

Tonks raised her head when she heard Moriarty's words, smiling like a flower.

"You're here, little brother~

But you came at the wrong time. It’s best to wait two hours before coming back so that you can taste the dishes I cooked for you to celebrate our victory.”

Tonks smiled innocently, but it was obvious that she was exhausted, and a drop of sweat slid down her temples.

Moriarty came close to Tonks and carefully wiped the sweat from her head. Tonks laughed happily: "My gentle and considerate little boy has deceived the hearts of many girls with this trick."

?

The news reached my ears, and all the girls in the school ran to the Slytherin common room."

"Then why are you staying here?"

Moriarty pulled her to sit on the chair next to her and rubbed her fingers: "This is not the hand that cooks, this is the hand that holds the wand. Do you still remember your dream, Nymph?"

Tonks' little hand was grabbed by Moriarty, and she quickly blushed with embarrassment.

But when she mentioned her dream, she looked solemn.

"Of course I remember it, and I will never forget it. Becoming an Auror is my sacred dream and I am willing to sacrifice my life for it!"

Moriarty looked into her bright black eyes, but Tonks quickly avoided him, lowered her head shyly, and said in a tired voice: "But before I become an Auror, I want to cook you a delicious meal.

"

"Let the house elves do those things. You should go back to your dormitory and prepare for our ball." Moriarty replied softly, and he took Tonks' hand.

"House elves? No, no, no!" Tonks raised her head: "They don't know how to cook Chinese food. What I cook for you is Chinese food."

For example, they have never heard of the almond bergamot dish now. I know you like to eat Chinese food, so I learned Chinese recipes. If you - eh? "

She originally wanted to say, "If you want to eat Chinese food, then come to the Hufflepuff cafeteria to see my senior. Maybe she will cook some for you if she is in a good mood."

But Moriarty said, our ball?

What do you mean? Could it be that...

Tonks' heart-shaped face suddenly looked like hearts in a playing card, and Moriarty couldn't help but want to touch her face.

She said in disbelief: "What did you say, Moriarty? Our... ball? But I haven't invited you yet..."

"It's up to boys to talk about this kind of thing." Moriarty took her hand and stood up, holding up her chin: "Senior Nymph, can I invite you to be my dance partner?"
