Hogwarts behind-the-scenes big boss

Dumbledore noticed Moriarty's eyes, drank a little juice, turned to whisper a few words to Professor McGonagall, stood up and left.

When he was about to walk out of the auditorium, Dumbledore looked at Moriarty and gave a "Follow me" look in return.

Moriarty was slightly startled. He had never seen Dumbledore mentioning the end-of-term dinner in advance.

This is the first time.

After thinking for a while, Moriarty followed.

Regardless of what Dumbledore said before, his current actions alone are enough to prove what happened.

The early departure of Moriarty and Dumbledore made many young wizards curious.

Ron maliciously speculated: "They must be planning a conspiracy! A conspiracy against me!"

"I have to find a way to avoid the surveillance of the Weasley family and go to Egypt to lift the curse."

"If they target the Death Eaters during my time in Egypt, Bellatrix and Lucius cannot be their match."

Thinking secretly, Voldemort was full of resentment towards Moriarty and Dumbledore.

Apparently Ron didn't listen at all to what Dumbledore said before.

However, Voldemort's pride led him to make wrong judgments again.

Dumbledore specifically called Moriarty to the principal's office, not to target Voldemort or the Death Eaters.

In the principal's office, it was just like this time last year.

Moriarty and Dumbledore were sitting opposite each other, with a desk between them, and Fawkes was sitting on the top of the armchair behind Dumbledore.

"Moriarty, look at this."

Dumbledore took out a thick notebook from under the table and threw it on the table.

"The birth, development, and decline of the Forbidden Magic Circle." Moriarty briefly browsed through the notes and praised: "A very complete report, who wrote it?"

"Without an author, a collection of studies of wizards throughout the ages." Dumbledore looked very worried.

"There must be your and Grindelwald's opinions here," Moriarty smiled and read: "The forbidden magic circle first appeared on the battlefield between King Arthur and the Celtic elves. There is reason to believe that Merlin created the first

A forbidden magic circle."

"In the dark age when wizards were hunted by the church and fought against goblins, Salazar Slytherin improved Merlin's forbidden magic circle..."

Moriarty raised an eyebrow. Salazar had never told him about this.

But after thinking about it, I felt relieved.

Salazar mastered too much magic, and the forbidden magic circle, a magic that flourished in special times, was of little significance in peaceful times.

Salazar didn't take the forbidden magic circle seriously at all.

Moriarty looked down.

"When the time came to the 16th century, Ulric Gamp proposed to add the forbidden magic array to the list of forbidden spells at the Wizengamot meeting."

“This vote is considered by later generations to be the first step taken by Yurik Gamp to promote the smooth implementation of the International Statute of Secrecy.”

"From then on, Ulric Gamp began to show his prominence and quickly became the chief magician of the Wizengamot. In 1707, he became the first minister of the Ministry of Magic."

"Note: The "Law of Secrecy" was promulgated in 1689. However, it was not officially established until 1692, three years later, and was enforced by the magical governments of various countries."

After reading this, Moriarty put down his notes, a look of deep thought appeared in his eyes.

"In other words, the reason why modern wizards rarely master the forbidden magic circle is because of Ulric Gamp's decision."

"It can even be said that the last wizard in Great Britain to master the forbidden magic circle was Yuric Gamp!"

Dumbledore said with great solemnity, his face turned pale.

Moriarty and him looked at each other, and both thought of the forbidden magic circle on the island of Extis.

"I looked for clues about Estis and found Merlin, Salazar, Slytherin and Ulric Gamp."

Dumbledore said hoarsely: "If nothing else happens, one of the three of them must be closely related to Extis."

"Currently, Yurik Gamp is the most suspect, because the time period in which he was born and active was closest to the time period when Extis was active."

"Taking into account the immortality gained by Extis by transforming himself, the active time of Extis and Ulric Gamp are almost the same!"

"Of course, if you think I'm too old and my mind has become like a rusty wagon wheel, then I have nothing to say."

There was a long silence in the office.

Moriarty frowned and said nothing.

Following Extis and the Forbidden Magic Circle, Dumbledore discovered a clue.

But the three people involved-Merlin.

Salazar?? Slytherin.

Yurik Gamp.

Everyone is an outstanding and great wizard.

The kind that will leave its name in history.

If we must find a difference, then Merlin and Salazar have greater strength than Moriarty and Dumbledore teamed up at this time.

And Yurik Gamp possesses unparalleled power.

Moriarty knew about the Gamp family.

The notes left by Salazar briefly mentioned some pure-blood families and powerful families.

As early as three years ago, when the powerful family represented by the Pilivik family invited Moriarty as a guest.

Moriarty knew that there was such a low-key and reclusive powerful family in the English wizarding world, the Gamp family.

The members of the Gamp family have always been mysterious, and the only witch whose full name is known is Hesper Gamp.

She married into the Black family and was Sirius Black's great-grandmother.

In addition to Ulric Gamp and Hesper Gamp, there was a young wizard named Gamp who studied in Slytherin House at Hogwarts thousands of years ago.

Perhaps it was this young man named "Gamp" who founded the Gamp family.

And Ulric Gamp brought the Gamp family to unprecedented heights.

After sorting out his thoughts, Moriarty said: "Uric Gamp has been the Minister of Magic for 11 years. Most of the reviews about him are positive. He has made great contributions to the magical world."

"Ten years is enough time for him to take the wizards of the Ministry of Magic into his own hands. The first team of the Ministry of Magic is all his people."

Dumbledore continued: "Having unparalleled power, Gamp has penetrated into every aspect of life and education."

He gave an example.

"Gampu's Five Transformation Laws!"

Dumbledore smiled bitterly: "I used to be a professor of Transfiguration. I remember that you also raised questions and discussions about Gamp's basic transfiguration rules four years ago, and all our ideas can only be established by standing on his shoulders."

Simply put.

Many of the ideas and inferences about magic that modern wizards have are leftover from other people's games.

In fact, people can overturn it at any time.

This feeling is like Newton once said that he was standing on the shoulders of giants.

Newton's feeling once he found the "giant" collapsed...or the "giant" grabbed him from his shoulders...

One can imagine.

Dumbledore is like this right now, unable to calm down.

At this time, Moriarty said with relief: "Everything is our assumption, isn't it?"

"Looking at the bright side, maybe it has nothing to do with Ulric Gamp."

"The appearance of the forbidden magic circle may just be an accident. Maybe it was created by a dark wizard or someone who learned it."

Of course, Moriarty also knew that this possibility was very low.

Extis created the Dementors, the Dementors guarded Azkaban, and the Forbidden Magic Circle protected Extis.

This is a logical closed loop.

Moriarty has received perfect marks on his History of Magic exams for four consecutive years.

He clearly remembered that Azkaban became the British wizard prison in 1718!

The time when Ulric Gamp resigned from office happened to be 1718!

No one knows what happened that year.

But that was the year.

Azkaban became a prison for British criminals.

The Dementors who appeared out of nowhere also found the Ministry of Magic and signed a contract to become the guards of Azkaban.

There is ample evidence and reason to doubt Yurik Gamp.

Moriarty glanced at Dumbledore. The white wizard looked older. Moriarty could somewhat understand the old Dumbledore's mood.

In the past, Dumbledore thought that the immortality organization and the elemental relics were very far away from the pure land of England, which he had guarded all his life.

But today, there is a chance that Britain's first Minister of Magic is a member of that organization where everyone pursues immortality and has the means to achieve immortality.

Moriarty understood Dumbledore's mood very well.

"No, no, no!"

Dumbledore rarely showed pain.

He shook his head vigorously, then raised his head and stared at Moriarty, his eyes bloodshot.

"If," he gritted his teeth and said word by word, "our hypothesis is correct, Ulric Gamp...then our enemy may be the most powerful wizard in Britain!"

(Urik Gamp is indeed a real person.)
