Hogwarts behind-the-scenes big boss

Chapter 35 The Minister of Magic

Moriarty's trip to the Forbidden Forest ended after Hagrid gave sage and mallow to the centaur Bane, but he got a reminder from Firenze, and Marcus also got closer to Hagrid.

The relationship is generally very fruitful.

Early the next morning, Moriarty started a new day of life. What was different from the past was that every time he saw a student or professor, or even a ghost, he would always ask more questions about Peeves.

Soon all the teachers and students in the school knew that Moriarty was interested in Peeves, and also discovered that Peeves had not appeared for a long time. At this time, Peeves appeared as if he could read people's hearts.

But Moriarty discovered that Peeves would avoid him and try to avoid meeting him.

The time has entered November, and the weather has become very cold. The mountains around the school are gray and covered with ice and snow, and the lake surface is as cold and hard as quenched steel.

Every morning or evening, there is frost on the ground. Moriarty would go out every time at this time to let the water element magic in his body get close to the cold air. The gift of nature allowed him to loosen the magic level that he had not broken through for a long time.

Now Moriarty has many things to do every day: fighting Tonks at dawn, and occasionally refining potions.

If there is class in the morning, go to class. If there is no class, go to the frozen lake to practice some magic spells.

At noon, he always carried the magic potion formula.

If there are classes in the afternoon, I go to class. If there are no classes, I usually study ancient runes and ancient Latin in the library. Occasionally, I will meet senior Gemma.

At night, apply the knowledge you have learned to the magic spell left by Salazar. According to Moriarty's prediction, the flying spell will be available in a few days.

Extensive study took up all of Moriarty's time, which made Jericho, who had always wanted to discuss Quidditch tactics with him, anxious.

"We are about to play against Gryffindor! But Prefects William and Leon are busy preparing for exams, and Moriarty can't find him!" Jericho patted him in the common room.

Table, "Are we going to lose to Gryffindor? That guy Percy will definitely show off!"

Suddenly, the stone door of the common room was opened, and Marcus barged in: "Where is sir? Professor McGonagall asked him to go to the principal's office!"

"Why?" Jericho asked.

"I don't know," Marcus said hoarsely, "but I saw the Minister of Magic, Millicent Bagno, and a reporter, Rita Sturt?"

"It's Rita Skeeter!" Lilith stood up from the sofa nearby. There were several girls on the sofa.

"She is a third-rate reporter who can betray anyone for news, but her attitude towards Moriarty is quite respectful." She crossed her arms and talked confidently: "As for Millicent Bagno? She recently passed

That's not a good result! So don't worry, she will definitely not be unfavorable to Moriarty when she comes to school this time.

Then, you ask me where Moriarty is? Huh, at this time, he is either with Senior Sister Tonks or with Senior Sister Gemma, or he is measuring Hogwart with his steps.

On the top of this mountain? I hope you can find him."

After finishing speaking, Lilith straightened her long hair hanging in front of her forehead and walked out of the lounge dignifiedly.

Marcus' mouth opened wide: "What's wrong with her?"

Jericho spread his hands: "Do you think I will know? Since Mr. Moriarty often disappeared from our sight, she has also become elusive. Oh, Merlin, I feel like I have been abandoned!"

"Then where should I find sir?" Marcus looked at Jericho eagerly.

"Didn't Pilivik say that he would rather be with Tonks and Gemma than play with me?" Jericho looked sad and left holding the tactical notes he had painstakingly prepared.

"So where should I find Tonks or Gemma?" Marcus looked around blankly, hoping that other little snakes could give him some advice.

Just when everyone was worried about not being able to find Moriarty, Moriarty returned to the castle and it was Bloody Barrow who found him.

"Go, go to the principal's office, the password is Bee Bee Sugar," Barrow said in his unique voice: "We will discuss our matters later."

"Okay, Barrow, I hope you can tell me the truth." Moriarty stepped up a flight of stairs, tapped the staff gently on the ground, and a staircase leading to the principal's office on the eighth floor automatically appeared.

Barrow watched Moriarty go away, with an expression of fear appearing on his face for the first time.

Arriving at the door of the principal's office, Moriarty said to a gargoyle: "Sizzling honey bees."

"Hey~ hello, Slytherin! Your ever loyal Hogwarts headmaster's office guard Paro salutes you~"

The gargoyle seemed to be shouting at the top of its lungs, and at the same time it jumped to the side, revealing a slowly moving upward spiral staircase hidden behind it.

Moriarty glanced at the stone beast, said nothing, stepped up the stairs, and entered the principal's office.

It was a spacious, beautiful round room, filled with all kinds of whispering little voices.

On the table with slender legs, there are various kinds of silverware, which are rotating and blowing out small puffs of smoke.

The walls were covered with portraits of old principals, both men and women, who stared at Moriarty with keen interest.

"Hello~ Mr. Slytherin, I can't wait for you to put it on my head." The Sorting Hat said happily while it was on a huge table.

Its words attracted the attention of others in the room, and a large group of people turned to look at Moriarty.

There were Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, and a woman Moriarty didn't recognize. Behind her stood a sturdy wizard.

"Oh, Mr. Moriarty, you are here," Dumbledore said happily: "This is Millicent Bagno, the Minister of Magic. The Minister has brought good news. And, the Advisor to the Minister of Magic

Cornelius Fudge from The Office.”

This sturdy wizard was Fudge, the Minister of Magic who was in power when Lord Voldemort returned?

Moriarty couldn't help but glance at Fudge a few more times. Sure enough, he had gained weight after becoming minister.

"Good morning, Minister, Mr. Fudge." Moriarty greeted politely.

The minister glanced at Fudge, who immediately took out a roll of parchment and a silver badge from his bag.

He read the contents of the paper aloud: "In view of Moriarty Slytherin's contribution to "A Treatise on Transfiguration in Ancient and Modern Times", "Doubts about the Five Exceptions to Gump's Five Basic Laws of Transfiguration", "Animagus and Essence"

The three papers "Transfiguration, Essential Metamorphosis and Elemental Metamorphosis" are of epoch-making significance. Members of "Transfiguration Today" unanimously believe that Moriarty Slytherin wins the Most Promising Newcomer Award!"

The room suddenly burst into applause, Dumbledore smiled, Professor McGonagall clapped vigorously, and even Professor McGonagall nodded.

Fudge handed the badge and parchment to Moriarty, waved towards the door, and Rita Skeeter walked in with a magic camera.

"Quick, Mr. Slytherin," Fudge said eagerly: "Come and take a photo with the Minister. This will definitely be on the front page."

Moriarty narrowed his eyes: "I refuse."

The atmosphere froze instantly, and no one reacted.

"What? You mean - uh, haha..." Fudge sneered and winked at Dumbledore.

The Minister of Magic turned blue, even though she had always looked bad.

Moriarty glanced at the two politicians and said calmly: "I don't like to take photos for people to see me, and I don't like to be famous or in the limelight. On this point, I want to ask me to come forward to help Mr. Lockhart."

Lady Rita knew it when his novels came to life."

Rita held the camera and smiled awkwardly.

"As for taking a photo with the minister to bring me benefits, I don't care anymore. I dare say that all of you here are not as rich as me."

After Moriarty finished speaking, the principal's office fell into silence.

"Haha," Dumbledore shook his head and smiled, breaking the silence: "Okay Fudge, don't embarrass me, an old man. What if I piss off Mr. Moriarty and he fires me? You know, Four

The surname of a giant, oh, that’s not something an old man can afford to offend.”

"Uh, um, that's it." Fudge was sweating profusely and looked at his minister.

The minister nodded stiffly to Dumbledore: "Goodbye, Albus."

Then he glanced at Moriarty coldly and strode out. Fudge bowed and nodded to everyone in the room, and then followed closely with Rita.

"She's about to step down, isn't she?" Moriarty walked up to Dumbledore.
