Hogwarts behind-the-scenes big boss

Fudge spent a lot of space in his letter praising Moriarty, telling him of his adoration and admiration for Moriarty, and congratulating Moriarty on taking home the trophy of the All-European Wizarding Duel Competition.

At the same time, the letter also revealed that he had the support of more than a dozen powerful families, including the Pilivik family, the Mincham family, and the Ogden family.

At the end of the letter, Fudge invited Moriarty to attend a "Gathering of Powers" at Fudge Manor at the end of July.

Moriarty couldn't bear it any longer, and laughed while holding the letter. Now he knew why Fudge was able to get so much support. Although there was Barty Crouch's own unsatisfactory factor, the bigger reason was that

The reason is that Fudge himself is a trouble-making person.

Many wizards believe that pure-blood families are the most powerful families in the wizarding world. In fact, this concept is wrong.

It is true that most purebloods control money, but they do not necessarily control power. In the UK, those who really control power are a small group of wizards who are currently senior officials of the Ministry of Magic or who have served as senior officials of the Ministry of Magic, and their families, which is the so-called power.

family.

For example, Moriarty knew that there was a well-hidden Gamp family in Britain, which dates back more than five hundred years. The first British Minister of Magic was Ulric Gamp.

Of course, most of the people in power come from pure-blood families. Hundreds of years have passed, so wizards generally confuse the families in power with pure-blood families.

For example, the Crouch family is one of the twenty-eight pure-blood families. The family has also had the Minister of Magic. Barty Crouch is currently the Director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation.

There is also Lilith, the Pilivik family is also pure blood. Although her grandfather and great-grandfather both served as high-ranking officials in the Ministry of Magic and are undoubtedly a powerful family, they do not belong to the Holy 28 pure bloods.

Another example is Leon. The Mincham family is both a powerful family and pure blood, and they are also not part of the Holy Twenty-Eight Pure Bloods.

And, Dumbledore!

People often only see Dumbledore's great strength, but ignore his origin. Although he has a squib sister, he is also a pureblood.

In a sense, Dumbledore, who came out of Godric's Hollow, is the true heir of Gryffindor.

Dumbledore also has a lot of wealth, but he has no intention of pursuing an official career, otherwise he would be the current Minister of Magic.

So it can be seen that there is a certain difference and distance between pure-blood families and powerful families.

They will reach a consensus when facing major events, but private frictions are inevitable when it comes to small matters.

As for Fudge, he has won over pure-blood families and powerful families. It can be said that as long as Dumbledore doesn't want to be the Minister of Magic, this position is his.

The most interesting thing is that after Fudge attended the pure-blood party at Malfoy Manor, he also held a power party!

Even before Fudge became minister, he was already thinking about how to eat both sides. He wanted to seize power with one hand and money with the other!

If the headmaster of Hogwarts were not Dumbledore, Fudge would be able to take education into his hands when he becomes minister!

What does education represent? It represents the future.

Owning Hogwarts owns the future of the British wizarding world!

Walking on the street, who could tell that Fudge was a careerist?

Moriarty recalled Fudge who bowed and nodded, and compared Fudge's ambitions with his own plans, and they gradually overlapped!

Fudge is afraid of Voldemort and Dumbledore, but Moriarty is not!

Well, Fudge is so cute, he perfected the "behind-the-scenes boss" plan for Moriarty.

In Moriarty's plan, Lockhart is in power, Flint is in charge, and now there is a shortage of someone who can become the principal of Hogwarts!

The voyage ended with Moriarty thinking. When he returned to the castle, Moriarty immediately wrote a letter to his men and servants, calling them back.

Three days later, in the castle hall, Moriarty sat on the throne and looked at his three confidants with relief.

Lockhart is on the left. We haven't seen him for a few months. He has become thinner and a little darker. He has a little more confidence and a little less exaggeration.

Sitting on his right was old Flint. He obviously looked like a white-haired old man, but his eyes were shining and he exuded a high-spirited aura.

He frequently cast proud glances at Marcus, who was sitting in the first place on the right. The fact that Marcus was sitting there meant that he had secured his position as Moriarty's number one follower.

This gave Old Flint a sense of pride and superiority as father and son worked together in some highest authority organization.

Marcus asked cautiously: "Master, I think Jericho can be trusted..."

"Jericho," Moriarty's eyes flashed with the figure of an American cowboy flying on a broom, "He is indeed loyal to me and capable, but now is not the time to summon him. Maybe when I open up the American market,

His contribution will be needed."

Marcus nodded and stopped talking. Lockhart raised his hand as if he was speaking in class: "Master, please be sure to take me with you when you open up the American market. Last time I went to Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to give a lecture.

The students really impressed me.”

"Let's not talk about foreign countries today," Moriarty knocked on the table and raised his voice slightly: "Let's talk about the domestic situation.

Lockhart, starting tomorrow, you will openly support Dumbledore's candidacy for Minister of Magic!

Old Flint, starting tomorrow, on behalf of the Flint family, you will publicly support Fudge's candidacy for Minister of Magic! No matter who tries to persuade or threaten you during this period, you must unswervingly support Dumbledore!

Marcus, I want you to write to every student at Hogwarts, and to every professor - including Filch and Hagrid, and the Ghost - if they can write.

In the letter, you must explain the differences between you and your father on the choice of Minister of Magic, and you must publicly declare that you are willing to support Dumbledore's candidacy for Minister of Magic! And call on students to canvass votes for Dumbledore!"

The three people whose names were called were stunned and did not recover for a long time.

Lockhart was not a person who played politics. Marcus's brain was all used to recite Fantastic Beasts. Only old Flint had some clues based on his years of experience.

"Master, you, you want to... plot against the Minister of Magic?"

"Do as I say, and no matter who the Minister of Magic is in the future, it will be you who will benefit in the end!" Moriarty's majestic gaze swept across the faces of the three of them.

Lockhart was confused, old Flint was nervous, and Marcus looked honest and honest.

When they came into contact with Moriarty's scrutinizing gaze, Lockhart immediately became more motivated, old Flint kept taking deep breaths, and Marcus still looked honest and honest.

"Although I don't understand the young man's thoughts, I firmly obey the young master's arrangements!" Lockhart asked Luke to pour him a glass of champagne and drank it happily.

Old Flint was not as at ease as Lockhart. He saluted Moriarty: "The Flint family will always support you unconditionally."

Marcus nodded: "I will do whatever the young master says."

"Okay, let's get ready," Moriarty waved his hand, "Old Flint stays here and we will discuss the pure-blood gathering on July 15th. Your cooperation will be indispensable then."

Old Flint stayed, and Moriarty asked: "All the twenty-eight purebloods of the Holy Saints have written to me, but some pureblood families have lost their heirs, such as the Prewett family and the Gunter family. Some

Descendants of pure-blood families are still in Azkaban, such as the Black family and the Lestrange family.

I really can’t figure out how they wrote to me? Could it be that they hired a dementor to write it for them?”

"It's like this. Pure-blood families have the habit of intermarriage, so although some families have no direct heirs, they still have descendants who can write an invitation letter on behalf of the family."

Old Flint slowly explained: "There is another situation where pure-blood families have portraits of their ancestors at home, and when writing letters, they will send someone to listen to the portrait's opinions.

This pure-blood gathering was organized by Malfoy. I think Malfoy must have sent someone to the ancestral home of the Black family and the Lestrange family to seek the opinions of their ancestors before sending out the invitation letter.

The last situation is the Gunter family you mentioned, which is quite special!"

Old Flint kept taking deep breaths, and after making a lot of determination, he sighed: "You know the details of the Dark Lord, so you can also think that because of the Dark Lord, no one in the pure-blood family dares to write on behalf of the Gaunt family.

letter!

Let me tell you, someone who dares to write to you under the guise of the Gaunt family has bad intentions! He must be trying to get you into conflict with the Dark Lord..."

"I understand." Moriarty sneered and put the twenty-eight letters on the table, "Are all pure-blood families so stupid?"

"Well..." Old Fleet also looked cautious, "Master, I would like to ask you a question, what do you think of pure bloods and us?"

Then he explained in a panic: "The 'we' I'm talking about refers to you and me, not the twenty-eight purebloods. After all, you are also a true pureblood!"

"No need to explain, I understand what you mean." Moriarty asked Luke to give him a glass of honey water. He also took a sip of Blue Mountain coffee and said lightly: "Essentially, I have nothing against pure bloods.

bias.

But pure blood monopolizes the magical world to a large extent. I hope that pure blood can implement my will. If anyone can't do it, then change to a pure blood. If they can't do it, then change to a group of pure blood.

Blood."
