Hogwarts behind-the-scenes big boss

"My friend Gilderoy Lockhart asked me to help him apply to Hogwarts for the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for the next school year."

In order not to expose his master-servant relationship with Lockhart, Moriarty said that Lockhart asked him to apply to Dumbledore. In fact, Lockhart was purchasing fire dragons in Romania.

The position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was Moriarty's Christmas gift to Lockhart.

The professors at Hogwarts enjoy a huge reputation in the British wizarding community, especially the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. This position is highly controversial, and it is easier for Lockhart to build a positive image of him.

After the underground passage and the Chamber of Secrets incident, Moriarty's importance in Hogwarts was greatly increased - whether Dumbledore and the school director admitted it or not, his identity as a descendant of Slytherin was there.

So Dumbledore really couldn't refuse Moriarty. He was extremely surprised: Am I wrong? The relationship between Moriarty and Lockhart is limited to Lockhart taking Moriarty with him.

Back to England, nothing else?

Moriarty looked around at the portraits of past principals. They had been quiet since Moriarty entered this office, but their eyes were widened.

Just as Dumbledore thought, when everyone was doubting the relationship between Moriarty and Lockhart, no one thought that Moriarty himself would send Lockhart right under Dumbledore's nose!

This is almost a conspiracy! Isn't Dumbledore investigating Lockhart? Moriarty sent Lockhart to Hogwarts, making it clear that he was not afraid of Dumbledore's investigation!

It was obvious that Dumbledore was in trouble.

After another long silence, Dumbledore stretched out his hand to grab a pile of cockroaches, but then retracted his hand - the pile of cockroaches had already been eaten.

"Gilderoy Lockhart...since you mentioned him, let's talk about him." Dumbledore sat up straight, crossed his fingers on the table, and his blue eyes were as deep as the sea: "I

I remember that he was a Ravenclaw student and wrote to me many times, hoping that I could start a school newspaper edited by him.

Ah, I have reservations about those letters. His writing is a bit exaggerated, but it can be seen that he has certain literary skills."

Moriarty responded calmly: "I don't know much about Mr. Lockhart's past. You know, I have lost contact with him since the novel became popular.

Just at Christmas, he gave me some gifts and sent me a letter, asking me to apply for a professorship for him, and he expressed his hope to come to Hogwarts to teach the little wizards."

"That's right, that novel!" Dumbledore glanced at the bookshelf aside. The novel "In Tibet with Slytherin" flew to his hand. He picked up the novel and turned the pages, "The book written by Lockhart"

I have read them all, and this is the best book. There is no doubt that if Lockhart could replace you as the protagonist in every book, he would definitely be a world-renowned writer."

Moriarty didn't want to waste time testing each other with Dumbledore, so he said directly: "Then, if nothing unexpected happens, I will reply to Mr. Lockhart right now."

A hint of helplessness flashed in Dumbledore's eyes, and he showed an apologetic smile for the first time: "I'm sorry, Moriarty, you're a step late. There is already a candidate for the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for the next school year. At the same time, I

I am also pleased to announce that your new professor is Ms. Diana Sharva."

Moriarty looked at Dumbledore in surprise, had he found a new professor so quickly?

Dumbledore looked at the silver clock on the table and shook his head slightly: "Please forgive the forgetfulness of an old man. Before I knew it, it was noon. Professor Diana made an appointment with me. I think she will be here soon. If you don't

If you mind, you can wait a moment."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the principal's office opened, and a lady wearing silver high heels, a close-fitting white shirt, and a black professional teacher's suit walked in.

When she saw someone else sitting in the office, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in her emerald eyes, and she said softly: "Sorry, Professor, I didn't know there was someone else in your office. I'll come back at another time."

An ordinary sentence sounded as sweet as the sound of nature. Moriarty turned back to look at her curiously, and the curiosity in his eyes was quickly replaced by appreciation.

The person in front of me is tall, with a slender waist, long legs and tender feet. Even if the suit is tightly covered, it can't block the snow-white face and neck.

The collar of the white shirt was unbuttoned, and Moriarty could easily see a deep snow-white ridge along his neck, and a faint milky fragrance penetrated into Moriarty's nostrils.

Moriarty looked away, her big wavy golden curly hair hanging on her shoulders, emitting a dazzling light, and her bright green eyes revealed a coldness and more of indifference - she was also looking at her.

Looking at Moriarty, those thin pointed ears add to the charm, she is an elf!

Moriarty quickly looked at Dumbledore, his eyes self-explanatory: "Last year's professor was a vampire, this year you found us an elf? When did the Defense Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts become a vampire?"

A museum of rare races?”

Diana snorted disdainfully, puffed out her chest as if to prove herself, opened her red lips slightly, revealing her pointed little fangs: "Ignorant young gentleman, I need to correct you. Professor Dumbledore asked me to

Come to Hogwarts, not me begging to come to Hogwarts."

Dumbledore immediately said: "You two, I ask you to be more tolerant to an old man."

Moriarty and Diana sneered in unison, saying that whoever treats you as an old man will definitely be in bad luck.

"Moriarty, please keep Professor Diana's identity secret," Dumbledore was still persuading: "And Professor Diana, as we agreed, will be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor from the 1889 to 1990 school year.

Class Professor."

"Are you Moriarty? Moriarty Lytherin?" Diana's tone sounded like a fan meeting a singer. Moriarty glanced at her and found that her eyes were like a pair of autumn water.

Full of light.

Seeing the changes in Diana, Moriarty suddenly had a bad feeling. He turned back to Dumbledore and said, "In that case, let Mr. Lockhart serve as a professor from the 1990 to 1991 academic year?"

"I have no objection. I won't wait for one more day after the school year is up." Diana expressed her stance first. After Moriarty was out of sight, she returned to her arrogant attitude.

Dumbledore finally smiled: "That's it for us! We will gain two outstanding professors at the same time. Oh~ I am even more looking forward to Hogwarts next year and the year after."

"See you at the beginning of school, Professor." Diana didn't want to say anything more, she nodded coldly to Dumbledore, and then walked out of the office.

Moriarty watched her leave. It was obvious that Dumbledore would not invite an elf to the school for no reason. There must be a reason!

This reason must be something that only elves can help Dumbledore solve!

It's a pity... Moriarty glanced at Dumbledore. Dumbledore was destined not to tell Moriarty his secret.

After discussing the fate of Harry Potter and finalizing the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, Moriarty and Dumbledore seemed to have nothing to talk about. After saying goodbye to each other in a polite way, Moriarty

Artie walked out of the principal's office.

The gargoyle Paro at the door saw Moriarty coming out and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Hey~hey~Mr. Slytherin! Look here!"

Moriarty walked up to it and saw Paro winking at him: "Do you know? That beautiful elf who just went out? I saw her walking out with her legs crossed!"
