Hogwarts behind-the-scenes big boss

Chapter 25 The Quibbler (9/10)

As reported by the Daily Prophet.

A series of reports about Dumbledore appeared in European newspapers.

Surprisingly.

One report after another is all Dumbledore's "dirty information".

"That's what those editors and reporters said."

Lockhart reports to Moriarty at Slytherin Castle.

This thing is so weird!

Lockhart described vividly.

"They all claimed that Dumbledore was a crazy old man."

"There are these people everywhere, even throughout Europe!"

"Young Master of France's Champ du Soleil, do you still remember?"

"It's the same third-rate tabloid that slandered you three years ago for your connection with vampires."

"Now it is said that Dumbledore is controlled by a dark wizard! Hogwarts is always in danger!"

"How ridiculous!"

"The Daily Prophet also bombarded Dumbledore without any news leaking out beforehand!"

"This was premeditated!"

Lockhart defended Dumbledore.

When he was in school, he sent a letter to Dumbledore, asking the principal for permission to establish a school newspaper.

Lockhart was ridiculed for this at the time.

But Dumbledore unexpectedly agreed!

It was only because of the obstruction from the four major deans that the school newspaper was not implemented.

So Lockhart felt a sense of gratitude to Dumbledore in his heart.

Moriarty knew this and comforted Lockhart.

"Dumbledore will be fine."

"This little thing can't shake Dumbledore's status."

"What makes me wonder is, why did he bombard Dumbledore?"

Moriarty stood on the top of the castle, looking at the mountains in the distance.

Pegasus and unicorn play happily on the green grass.

"He? You mean..."

Lockhart was a little confused.

"Who else could it be?" Moriarty said with a smile: "Command the Daily Prophet, mobilize media resources across Europe, and concentrate firepower on Dumbledore, the most powerful white wizard in the world."

"One and only Gamp has this ability."

"He was the one who started it."

"I haven't seen through what he wants to do."

Moriarty couldn't help but feel strange.

Knowing that Lockhart was getting a promotion and a salary increase, Gamp should have pointed the finger at himself.

The fight between myself and Gamp, what is Dumbledore doing?

But since Gamp chose to take action against Dumbledore.

Moriarty had no choice but to take the initiative.

"I personally sent a letter to Dumbledore."

"The personnel arrangements at Hogwarts have been questioned."

"I'm afraid Professor Lupine will no longer be able to hold the position. I'm afraid there will be another candidate for this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

"And the school director also needs to take care of it."

"Next, the Ministry of Magic may intervene in Hogwarts through the school board."

"Yes, Ministry of Magic!"

Moriarty's eyes suddenly lit up.

He figured it out.

The Fudge faction has gone over to Gamp!

Gamp's attack on Dumbledore was by no means limited to a few reports.

So what if it ruins Dumbledore's reputation?

What if we put all the blame on Dumbledore and slander him as the most powerful dark wizard in history?

Who dares to capture Dumbledore in Azkaban?

Do you expect Dumbledore to be captured without mercy?

Moriarty sneered slightly, that was impossible.

Since the two separated, even Moriarty didn't know where Dumbledore was.

Moreover, there are not many remnants of Voldemort left, and all Death Eaters have been arrested.

Dumbledore no longer had anyone to hit, no reason to die.

Dumbledore will only be stronger now!

"So Gamp came up with this trick."

Moriarty's eyes sparkled.

"Use the Ministry of Magic to keep Dumbledore in check."

"As long as Dumbledore is a White Wizard, he will never dare to disobey the orders of the Ministry of Magic."

"This will chip away at Hogwarts through the Ministry of Magic."

"Hogwarts was infiltrated, and it was my interests that were ultimately shaken!"

Moriarty now sees through Gamp's intentions.

Gump is going to attack Hogwarts!

I'm afraid it's not just Hogwarts.

11 magic schools around the world are all included in Gamp’s plan!

The only difference is the order in which you start.

Moriarty's guess was spot on.

Gamp followed the three major plans of suppressing Moriarty politically, encircling Moriarty commercially, and destroying Moriarty in battle.

A plan for education was also drawn up.

Eradicate the influence of the Slytherin family in education!

Hogwarts bears the brunt!

And Dumbledore is the Headmaster of Hogwarts.

It is clearly the primary target!

Having figured this out, Moriarty immediately started making arrangements.

Lockhart's role in this matter was limited.

Since you have chosen to enter the Auror office, you cannot put extra energy into education.

"Marcus, I want you to make a statement."

"While clearing Rubeus Hagrid's name."

"Publish some of your research."

Marcus nodded solemnly.

Five years ago, after Moriarty suggested it.

He has been studying magical beasts and magical creatures for five full years.

It would be a lie to say that I don’t have any experience.

Even some of his views and research surpass those of most wizards.

I'm afraid only Newt Scamander can compare.

But when Marcus carried out Moriarty's order...

But found.

Not a single newspaper, not a single reporter.

I am willing to accept Marcus’ invitation for an interview!

"Good, they're starting to boycott me!"

Moriarty knew this disappearance and was not angry.

Lilith, who was sitting next to her, said with a smile.

"You and your righteous laws have also been resisted."

"Our channels to speak out have been cut off."

A strong chill appeared in Lilith's eyes.

"It's so reckless!"

"The Daily Prophet editorial board and board of directors were warned once, do you remember?"

She turned her head and asked Moriarty.

"Of course, I had old Flint and old Foley visit them, and they became as docile as sheep."

Moriarty knew what Lilith was talking about.

Four years ago, Rita Skeeter wanted to dig up news about the Slytherin family from Moriarty.

The Daily Prophet was warned by Old Flint and Old Foley, and Rita obediently became the mouthpiece of Moriarty's side.

"Now she has turned to Gamp." Moriarty said with certainty: "The article "Albus Dumbledore's Mistakes" must have been written by her!"

"I will let my lawyers sue the Daily Prophet and monopolize the news industry!"

Lilith began to write a letter with a serious expression.

"Marcus, on behalf of the Flint family, please visit the directors of the Daily Prophet." Moriarty said casually.

Although he knew there was little hope.

Since those people dared to refuse Marcus's invitation.

It means they have a new backer.

Gump!

It can only be him.

Moriarty realizes that Gamp is trying to encircle him in business.

"Lilith?" Moriarty suddenly asked: "How is the development going at Percy's side?"

"Our foundation and insurance may have to play their role in advance."

"Are you going to go to war with Gringotts?" Lilith bit her quill and looked at Moriarty blankly.

This exposed part of her teeth to Moriarty's view.

Thinking of the last scene where Lilith transformed from the white snake state back to human form, Moriarty couldn't help but feel a little thirsty.

"Well..." Moriarty swallowed and said in deep thought: "I want to gather funds and open a newspaper of my own!"

"Since Gamp has cut off his voice."

"Then carve out a new track yourself!"

Moriarty said ambitiously.

One note after another came to mind.

The media in the wizarding world is very backward.

It's still at the level of a newspaper office and a newspaper.

Moriarty, on the other hand, has a vision of the future.

There are countless communication channels in your mind.

This time he was going to take it out.

Lilith also understood.

The funds required for preparation are naturally astronomical.

This money Moriarty will never pass through the hands of goblins.

And with the celebrity effect brought by Moriarty, people who follow him will not deposit funds in Gringotts.

"If you take action, at least half of the money in England's wizarding community will leave Gringotts!"

"Those greedy fairies will never agree."

Lilith's beautiful eyes were filled with smiles.

"So Percy needs to speed up."

"Yes, I will send Jericho to assist him immediately," Moriarty said resolutely: "Let foreign wizards get involved."

"I want Gamp to know."

"His time has passed!"

"The mainstream now is globalization!"

"It's world unity!"

From Moriarty's perspective, it's like the Muggles creating the United Nations.

Wizards should also contact each other, step up contact, and create a Wizards United Nations. It is not impossible.

"gentlemen!"

Marcus said loudly, walking in as he spoke.

"As expected, they rejected me again and rejected the Flint family!"

"It seems they are planning to break with you completely." Lilith held her chin in anticipation of Moriarty's next move.

Moriarty sneered disdainfully: "It's wonderful. By the time they regret it, it's already too late."

Marcus added: "But sir, a small newspaper company agreed to my invitation! - Well, I can't say a newspaper company, it's just a small private workshop that publishes some newspapers from time to time."

Moriarty's eyes lit up, "Who?"

"Quiet."

Marcus held up a colorful magazine.
