Hogwarts behind-the-scenes big boss

Chapter 539 Zhang Qiu and Jinni

Moriarty is looking for a copy of Defense Against Magic at Flourish and Blotts.

As you can tell from the name, it is a magic book that has nothing to do with wands.

And this book actually appeared on Hogwarts' opening list for this semester.

At that time, Moriarty knew that this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor would undoubtedly be Umbridge.

The clerk at Flourish and Blotts stacked the new textbooks together and placed them in a conspicuous place, and Moriarty took one away.

At this time, Zhang Qiu walked into the bookstore and saw Moriarty waving happily.

"Husband~"

Zhang Qiu called out softly and gestured towards the door.

Moriarty followed her gesture and saw a couple standing outside the door, with Chinese faces.

They seem to be Zhang Qiu's parents.

Zhang Qiu walked up to Moriarty, took his arm, and said with joy in his eyes, "Are you ready? Well... I mean, meet the parents."

"Of course, today will be your happiest day." Moriarty promised.

Zhang Qiu was wearing a pink dress today, and Moriarty was wearing a black formal suit. They walked out of the bookstore side by side.

Looks like a couple at a wedding.

Zhang Qiu's parents saw this scene and nodded frequently.

They were very satisfied with Moriarty's appearance and image.

However, the situation in Europe was undercurrent, and the Zhang family was not ignorant of it.

Zhang Qiu's parents are worried about Zhang Qiu's safety.

Moriarty took the three members of the Zhang family to the Leaky Cauldron.

This is the only shop in Diagon Alley that can provide conversation.

As Moriarty walked into the bar, the noisy atmosphere inside suddenly became quiet.

The boss, Uncle Tom, greeted Moriarty like an old friend, even though Moriarty had only been here a few times.

Moriarty asked for a guest room, but the environment below the bar was too poor for conversation.

In the ensuing conversation, Qiu Zhang's parents asked Moriarty several questions.

All related to the situation in the European wizarding world.

While Moriarty was surprised that the Zhang family could see clearly, he also said that he could handle it completely.

"To be honest, I don't want Qiu to go back to school this year," Zhang's father said firmly, as he was a very serious person: "The black wizards over there in Japan have been very restless recently, and many Japanese people have disappeared."

"I don't know if this has anything to do with Gamp."

"Several elderly people in my family told me that the European Gamp has turned into a towering tree."

"Compared to him, your foundation is still too shallow."

Seeing that Moriarty was listening attentively, Zhang's father said again.

"The old man in the family also said," he paused, and a flash of memory flashed through his eyes: "Gamp once launched a dragon hunting activity - no one knows the reason. They traveled all over the world, and naturally they also came to our China."

"His group was stopped by us at the border. From then on, few dark wizards came over."

Dad Zhang's tone was filled with pride.

"What I want to say is... Gamp's group, there is a blue giant... um..."

Moriarty saw him frowning, trying to remember.

"There is also a red-haired wizard, and a very tall wizard with a pale face."

"It's really strange that these people hunt dragons all over the world."

Zhang's father was complaining, and Moriarty was already thinking about it.

"Is it strange? For others, hunting fire dragons is a thankless task."

"But for Gamp, in order to become a god, he can do anything."

"Those fire dragons hide the secrets of elemental sacred objects!"

Moriarty judged it almost instantly.

I just don't know which element.

Moreover, Moriarty also discovered that the Zhang family sent information to him through the mouth of Zhang Qiu's parents.

"After listening to the story you told," Moriarty said with a smile, "China is simply a forbidden place for black witches."

Dad Zhang laughed heartily. Someone praised his motherland and his face lit up: "Yes, you are right, we are the forbidden land for dark wizards!"

No wonder old Pilivik sent his son and daughter-in-law to China. It turned out that he knew that Gamp could not reach out to China.

Moriarty suddenly understood.

At the same time, I also had some ideas about my own life experience.

Did my ancestors have the same idea when they fled to Tibet to seek refuge?

Next, Moriarty chatted with Zhang Qiu's parents for a while, and the three of them enjoyed themselves.

"Then, little Mr. Moriarty, we will leave Autumn to you."

Zhang's father put Zhang Qiu's hand into Moriarty's hand as if it were some kind of solemn ceremony.

Then Zhang Qiu's parents said goodbye to them and walked out of the bar.

Moriarty looked at their backs and said to Zhang Qiu: "Qiu'er, your parents are really good people."

Moriarty took note of this help in revealing the information.

After completing the mission of meeting their parents, Moriarty and Cho Chang started strolling around Diagon Alley.

"We will first go to Ollivander's Wand Shop and Patchy's Cauldron to buy Ginny's wand and cauldron, then go to Madam Malkin's Robe Shop to buy clothes for our uncle and aunt, and finally go to Florin's Cold Drinks Shop to buy some desserts."

Moriarty made clear arrangements for the two school girls.

Ginny naturally had no objection and followed Moriarty and Qiu Zhang obediently.

On the way, Zhang Qiu whispered to Moriarty: "Another school girl has fallen."

Moriarty pretended not to understand, "What are you talking about?"

"Exactly." Zhang Qiuji pouted: "Just pretend, little Ginny looks at you exactly the same way I looked at you back then, and you will fall sooner or later."

"I still don't understand." Moriarty pretended to be ignorant one second, and showed a wicked smile the next: "What was the look you were looking at me back then? Qiu'er, show me again."

"I don't want it." Zhang Qiu's lips pursed even higher.

Moriarty said that he was going to kiss Zhang Qiu, but the latter responded enthusiastically.

Ginny in the back opened her eyes wide when she saw this scene, as if she had discovered a new world, her eyes flashed, and she wrote down the details.

Walk to Ollivander's Wand Shop.

It has become a lot bigger inside and looks like it has been renovated.

"Oh Merlin!" Ollivander's eyes lingered on Moriarty and the other three through his glasses, "Mr. Moriarty, Miss Cho Chang, hello. And this one, the red-haired one."

"You must be the little princess of the Weasley family."

The last sentence was said to Ginny.

Zhang Qiu smiled and replied: "It's great that you still remember me."

"I remember every customer," Ollivander said to Moriarty: "You bought a second wand from me when you already had one, didn't you?"

"Today's protagonist is little Ginny." Moriarty pushed Ginny forward and "find her a wand."

"Of course, she will get it." Ollivander asked Ginny a few questions, mostly about arm length, forearm length, height, head circumference and other dimensions.

Then he took out a magic wand.

"Try this one: eleven inches, yew body, unicorn hair core."

Ollivander handed Ginny the wand.

"Stable, strong, kind-hearted but opinionated."

"Sorry, are you talking about me or it?" Ginny didn't understand.

"You and it are both, child." Ollivander smiled kindly.

Ginny used her wand to summon a tulip the size of a book.

"It's great, I want it." Ginny happily couldn't put it down.

"Thank you for your evaluation. This one is provided by the Gamp family for free." Ollivander bowed slightly.

Ginny was even happier. For the family, the cost of buying school supplies every year was a big burden. This year's wand cost nothing, and it would be better if the cauldron also cost nothing.

Zhang Qiu glanced at Moriarty worriedly. Through her parents, she also knew that Gamp was Moriarty's mortal enemy.

Moriarty was not angry and said calmly: "May Merlin bless you."

Ollivander laughed and said: "May Merlin bless you, Mr. Moriarty."

Although their positions are different, there is no hatred between the two.

Ollivander also wanted Moriarty to learn wandology.

It seems impossible now.

Moriarty and the other three walked out of the wand shop and set out for the Crucible shop.

On the way, I met Professor Snape.
