Hogwarts behind-the-scenes big boss
Chapter 30 Hermione Granger strayed into Knockturn Alley (Part 1)
In the early morning, Moriarty finished washing and came to the dining table to enjoy the breakfast prepared by Luke.
His two women: Narcissa was still sleeping soundly, she was very tired last night. Tonks had already finished breakfast and went to the lake to train.
And Violet, as always, couldn't wake up.
"Luke, is there any interesting news recently?"
Luke handed over the latest copy of the Daily Prophet.
Moriarty opened it and looked at it: "Huh? Look at our old friend - "Ten thousand wizards request Gilderoy Lockhart to run for president of the Magical Congress of the United States of America!"
"A few days ago, Gilderoy Lockhart, the captain of the British International Anti-Dark Wizarding Task Force, gave a speech in North America, triggering an unprecedented anti-Dark craze!"
"According to insiders at the Magical Congress of the United States of America, approximately 30,000 wizards openly support Mr. Lockhart's candidacy for Congress President."
"——We can expect that once Mr. Lockhart decides to run for office, he will win with an overwhelming vote! It is reported that the number of votes continues to increase..."
Front page, first page, second page...
All Lockhart news.
It can be seen that the Daily Prophet regards Lockhart as a cash cow, and it is so popular that it makes him lose face.
Moriarty put down the newspaper with satisfaction. Lockhart's growing reputation had only advantages and no disadvantages.
"Master, there are some comments in another newspaper that are not very friendly to you."
Luke handed Moriarty a tabloid.
Moriarty took it and took a look.
Ho!
"Sirius's escape from prison is related to a certain name that cannot be mentioned? No! A secret that the Black family and the Slytherin family have to mention!"
"What does the Azkaban prison break mean? Be alert! Warn! Dementors belong to the master!"
"Sirius was killed in front of my house - Mr. Lovegood's dictation: I saw the murderer!"
Just the title alone gives me a sense of novelty.
Moriarty raised the corners of his lips. Needless to say, this must be "The Quibbler."
But after reading it, Moriarty was thoughtful.
Editor-in-Chief Lovegood made the connection between Sirius's escape from prison and Moriarty!
Although Lovegood's reason was that Narcissa asked Moriarty to go to Azkaban to rescue her brother Sirius.
It was obvious that he was riding on Narcissa's interest in becoming Mrs. Slytherin.
But who got Love Gudmund right?
In the second piece of news, Lovegood pointed out that the dementors had an owner, and he swore that the owner was a wizard and that he was crazy.
No one believes it.
However, given that Lovegood often publishes some obscure topics, such as harassing flies and fire elves, people are not surprised by him.
As for the third piece of news, Lovegood said he saw Sirius' killer.
He described in detail how Sirius swaggered into the Weasley family and nearby hills in the shape of a big black dog.
Then one night, Lovegood saw a short man and a tall man, and killed Sirius!
Moriarty folded the newspaper and put it in his pocket. In his opinion, this news was probably true!
Isn't Peter Pettigrew just a short man?
And that tall man is probably William with Voldemort growing on the back of his head!
Moriarty remembered clearly that William was already very tall when he was in first grade. Three years later, William could only be taller.
If it were William and Pettigrew, they must be preparing for Voldemort's resurrection.
Now Voldemort has two minions.
Maybe you can buy unicorn blood to restore life, but that's not necessarily the case.
"Master? Miss Lilith asked you to go to Diagon Alley today, do you still remember?"
Luke's words brought Moriarty back to his senses.
They made an appointment when they came back from Privet Drive, and before they knew it, school would start tomorrow, a new semester, fourth grade...
Moriarty turned his gaze to the garden outside the window. The days of studying at Hogwarts were less than half over.
When going to Diagon Alley, also stop by Knockturn Alley and ask if anyone has bought unicorn blood.
At nine o'clock in the morning, a unicorn carriage drove out of Slytherin Castle, with Moriarty and Tonks on board.
"Nymph, you seem to have become beautiful again." Moriarty looked at Tonks' legs with a smile.
Not long after, the carriage shook.
Thirty minutes later, Diagon Alley arrived.
Tonks blushed and was carried out of the carriage by Moriarty. Since school started tomorrow, there were many wizards on the street, so she looked at them curiously.
"Senior Tonks~"
Not far away, Lilith smiled and waved to them.
Beside Lilith, Penelo, Gemma, Zhang Qiu, and some friends who usually get close to each other have already arrived.
Moriarty held Tonks' hand and walked over. Lilith knew what had happened as soon as she saw the spring in Tonks's eyes.
"Doing bad things all day long!" Lilith rolled her eyes at Moriarty.
Moriarty said he was used to it, "Where are Jericho and the others at the Leaky Cauldron?"
Penello nodded and said, "Yes, they came early in the morning, but they didn't see Marcus."
"Oh, him," Moriarty smiled slightly: "He went to pick up Harry Potter."
"Harry?? Potter?" Penello and Zhang Qiu looked at each other, "Is this the Harry who defeated the mysterious man?"
"Yes, he is a new student."
Moriarty said casually, and suddenly he saw a little girl running into another alley in a panic.
"That direction...is Knockturn Alley, right?"
Lilith heard Moriarty's words, looked there a few times, and saw the back of a little girl.
"Huh? It's really Knockturn Alley - no old student would run into Knockturn Alley, it should be a new student."
"Speaking of new students," Tonks was reminded, and she said to Moriarty: "Sister Narcissa said yesterday that Draco and Pansy were coming to Diagon Alley today and asked you to take care of them."
"Oh? Two freshmen," Moriarty shrugged, "I know, since they are my stepsons, I will reluctantly take care of them."
"Look at him, he obviously took advantage and still acted like a good boy!" Tonks looked like I was shocked by your shamelessness.
Lilith approached Tonks with a smile: "I heard you, what did you call Narcissa? Hehe~"
Tonks' face turned red, and she accidentally said something about their love under the bed.
Fortunately, there is only Moriarty as a man here, and the other girls are more or less aware of their relationship and don't take it seriously.
"It's getting late, let's take action!"
Lilith greeted everyone: "Let's split up - Moriarty, Penello, and I went to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore and Changing Ink Stationery Store to buy fourth-grade books, ink, and quills.
Senior Gemma is going to buy fifth grade books, and Senior Tonks is preparing for the exam.
Junior Zhang Qiu is going to the Quidditch Boutique to buy herself a new set of protective gear.
I'm also going to buy some fanged geraniums to prepare for the O.W.L. exam.
Shall we get started? Meet at the Leaky Cauldron at half past ten and have a drink together."
"no problem."
Answers came one after another, and everyone agreed.
Only Moriarty said to Lilith: "Buy a copy for me. I have something to do and go to Knockturn Alley."
Lilith glanced at Moriarty unexpectedly and wanted to say take me there, but finally agreed.
Then Moriarty separated from the large army. He walked through Diagon Alley, zigzagged into another alley, and turned down the alley.
Moriarty came to Borgin's Bock's store with ease. Mr. Borkin was a local gangster in Knockturn Alley, and no information could be hidden from him.
Mr. Borkin is also a member of the Bork family among the 28 Saints. Moriarty met him two years ago in Malfoy.
So when Moriarty walked into the store, Mr. Borgin was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face, "Dear Mr. Moriarty, your forever friend old Borgin sends his regards."
"Okay, how can you learn what Lucius did." Moriarty snorted.
I suddenly realized that there was another person in the store, Draco?? Malfoy!
"Draco? Why are you here!" Moriarty lowered his head and scolded little Malfoy who only reached his chest.
"Your mother asked me to take care of you, but she didn't expect you to come to Knockturn Alley alone - have you considered your mother's feelings?"
Draco lowered his head angrily.
"What did he buy from you?" Moriarty asked old Borgin bluntly.
Old Borgin was not angry at all, and said with a smile: "Master Malfoy wants to buy the Glorious Hand, but his Galleons don't seem to be enough."
"Bang!"
As if he had stepped on a bomb, Draco quickly opened the door and ran away.
"This kid." Moriarty shook his head and let him go. He had more important things to do.
"Have any wizards purchased unicorn blood in Knockturn Alley recently?" Moriarty asked without hesitation.
The Berk family is now tied to the warship of the pure-blood family, headed by the Slytherin family.
The bigger the business, the more Galleons earned, and the pure-blood family became closer to the Slytherin family.
Even if the question had the potential to expose Voldemort, Moriarty did not believe Borgin was hiding anything from him.
Sure enough, old Borgin bent down and whispered: "There is indeed a wizard who bought a one-hour bottle of unicorn blood, but he doesn't seem to have enough money."
"Describe the wizard."
"Hmm... He is very tall, has a London accent, and has a black hood on his head. He gives me a feeling of déjà vu."
Moriarty nodded, "The friendship of the Burke family is felt by the Slytherin family."
After speaking, he turned around and left. Bo Jin's words closely coincided with William's.
"Squeak——"
The door of Bojinbok's store was pushed open, and Moriarty came out, thinking about William.
Will William apply for the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor position at Hogwarts?
Dumbledore should have figured out what was going on when he saw William.
But William, how to save him...
Suddenly a little girl ran out in panic from a room diagonally across the corner.
She ran forward without looking back and bumped into Moriarty who was walking towards her.
"Bang!"
(Students who like Hermione raise their hands! Students who like Emma Watson raise their hands!)
