The Big Boss Behind Hogwarts

Chapter 10 The Wand and Gringotts (seeking various tickets, seeking investment and collection)

Moriarty took the wand without feeling anything special. He mobilized his magic power, then waved the wand in his hand, and a green snake head appeared in front of Ollivander.

Ollivander shook his head slightly: "It seems that there is no problem, but I know that it is not this wand that chose you, but that it cannot resist you."

"Try this one," he quickly pulled out another wand, "thirteen inches long, yew wood, unicorn tail hair."

The unicorn is a holy magical creature, and Moriarty used the unicorn wand to unleash the snake's head, which turned white.

"It still doesn't work." Ollivander glanced at the white snake's head. Although the unicorn has played a role, the color change has already involved the transformation technique. If Moriarty hadn't learned the transformation technique beforehand, it would be his talent Very good.

"If you want to get a wand that will accompany you for the rest of your life, you must open your heart to the wand, like a child who can't use magic, otherwise no matter how many wands you try, the result will be the same." Ollivander hugged after finishing speaking. Get a bunch of wands.

In the next thirty minutes, Moriarty tried dozens of times, and each time he could release a small magic easily. Those wands were as obedient as pet cats in his hands.

After some attempts, Ollivander sighed in disappointment, and Moriarty said intriguingly, "You seem to be testing whether I have a pure heart by choosing a wand. Can you tell me why, sir."

"I saw it, okay, okay, you're so smart." Ollivander walked up to Moriarty and said seriously: "Although there are enough magic wands in this room, they add up to a lot. Not as good as that wand—the one in the hand of the greatest wizard who lived, Dumbledore."

Moriarty guessed that the wand he was talking about was the elder wand from the Deathly Hallows, but what did it have to do with him? Moriarty patiently listened to his explanation.

"I have to admit that Lockhart didn't miss the mark this time." Ollivander said slowly: "You are very talented, Mr. Moriarty.

So I want to study wand science with you, you can ask me if you have any doubts,

Oh of course, any wand you make is yours. "

Ollivander added eagerly: "I want to see if you can make a wand stronger than Dumbledore's!"

"You want me to learn wand learning with you!" Moriarty understood what Ollivander meant, but he shook his head politely.

Wand science is a very special kind of magic, obscure and difficult to understand, and requires a lot of experimentation.

It is impossible for Moriarty to learn from Ollivander. For him, wand learning is just a shooting star in the magical sky, which is worthy of appreciation but not a goal.

Ollivander was extremely regretful, but he was still unwilling to give up. He solemnly took out a wand and handed it to Moriarty.

"Eleven inches long, holly, phoenix feather. Beautiful and supple, this wand is brother to that of the man who must not even be named, and they both contain a feather from the same phoenix."

Ollivander seemed to have grown old all of a sudden, he whispered: "You are a descendant of Slytherin, I was afraid that you would become like that person in the future, so I didn't take out this wand at first...

Oh look, look what I'm talking about, of course you don't, do you? "

Moriarty ignored the old man's soliloquies, taking offense at putting him with a guy who had his own nose blotted out.

Moriarty held his wand up in front of him and looked at it carefully. There was no doubt that it was the wand used by Harry Potter.

"Ding dong~ A magic wand suitable for fire elemental magic has been detected. If the host owns this magic wand, the level of fire elemental magic will increase."

Hearing the prompt from the system, Moriarty had a bold idea.

Since there is a magic wand suitable for fire element magic, there must be a magic wand suitable for water element magic!

Moriarty needed exactly such a wand. I wonder if Ollivander has one?

Thinking of this, Moriarty deliberately used a holly wood wand to release a freezing spell on the shop's doorplate, adding a few beautiful ice patterns to the doorplate.

Ollivander saw the ice magic revealed by Moriarty, his eyes gradually became strange, and his voice became high-pitched: "Merlin, I forgot that you can use the magic circle to summon the ice snake! Ah, I want to Get up! That's right, that's it! Maybe it's the most suitable wand for you!"

Ollivander searched for a long time from a pile of boxes, and came over with a white box in his hand.

"Twelve inches long, of sherwood, and what the core is, I am sorry I do not know - it was made by my ancestors when they traveled the world five hundred years ago, and since it was made no one has used it It casts a spell!"

Moriarty opened the box and saw a milky white wand lying there quietly. He had a premonition that this was the wand he was looking for.

"Ding dong~ A magic wand suitable for water elemental magic has been detected..."

Hearing the prompt from the system, Moriarty raised the corners of his mouth, gently picked up the cedar wood wand, and a chill flowed from his fingers through his wrists, arms, and finally into Moriarty's heart.

Moriarty didn't feel the slightest abnormality, and the system's voice came again: "Congratulations to the host for upgrading, he is now a level 27 elementary wizard."

Up two levels, not bad.

Moriarty held the cedar wood wand in his left hand, and nodded to Ollivander: "This is a good wand."

Ollivander was also very excited: "Yes, yes, I can see that this time it chose you, seven Galleons, if you want to take it away."

"Of course I will take it, it will be my faithful companion, and not only it, but I also want the holly wand. Make an offer, sir."

Moriarty raised his right hand and waved his Slytherin staff at the messy wand. The wands on the ground, the wall, and the opened boxes all returned to their original positions.

Only the holly wand was left floating in front of Ollivander, awaiting his decision.

Ollivander frowned, trying to explain to Moriarty: "Each little wizard can only buy one wand before school starts.

If a wizard's wand is broken or lost, Ollivander's Wand Shop will provide him with a second wand.

But no one has ever been able to buy two wands at once. "

Moriarty was unmoved, his plain eyes almost saw through Ollivander, as long as the chips were big enough, anything could be sold.

Ollivander quickly lost the eye contact.

"You are so difficult to deal with, if wandology is excluded, I would call you Mr. Moriarty!

Well, I could give you the wand of holly, but I hope you have time to learn about wandology, which is not too difficult for your talents, okay? "

Ollivander put the holly wand in the box and solemnly handed it to Moriarty.

And after Moriarty put the box into the exquisite bag cast with the Untraceable Stretching Charm, he took out an emerald from the money bag and put it on the table.

"The Slytherin family has no habit of indebting favors, and no matter what the holly wand is worth, I think this gem is enough to pay."

After Moriarty finished speaking, he took back the money bag and said to Ollivander, "Goodbye, sir."

Walking out of the wand shop, Moriarty was shocked to find that the wizards in Diagon Alley were looking at him in unison. Seeing him holding a wand, the wizards burst into cheers.

"For Slytherin! For magic!" the wizards cheered.

They understand that Moriarty's return to England and the modern magic wand are of extraordinary significance. Perhaps, as Lockhart said, an era of magical revival is coming!

Moriarty nodded to the crowd, impeccably aristocratic.

"Luke, I have an important task for you." Moriarty took out a list and handed it to Luke, "According to the requirements above, buy everything and send it back to the castle."

"Obey, my master!" Luke walked towards Lihen Bookstore, which was his first target, and Moriarty asked him to buy all the magic textbooks from the first grade to the seventh grade.

Leaving the purchases to Luke can save Moriarty more time. He was about to take Ingo home, but found that Ingo's eyes were on a tall and towering snow-white marble building superior.

That's Gringotts, the only wizarding bank in Britain.

"Don't even think about it, Ingo. I won't take you there, because the Slytherins never keep their wealth in Gringotts!"

While tidying up the castle, Moriarty found some of Salazar's diaries, not the diary, but the rest of the scattered diaries.

It records Salazar's hostility to goblins, and he believes that it is necessary to permanently eliminate the race of goblins, otherwise goblins will bring disaster.

Although Moriarty was not as stubborn as Salazar, he was always wary of goblins in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Ingo's eyes widened when he heard Moriarty's words: "The young master will take me there, and I will give the young master an undeniable reason!"

Obviously, Ingo's words had a hint of rebellion, and the gold shackles quickly shrunk after he finished speaking, and the cuffs around his legs turned black.

There was a sharp pain in Ingo's legs, and he fell to the ground fiercely. He couldn't resist the punishment of the gold shackles until Moriarty pointed his staff at the gold shackles and said, "Stop!"

The shackles gradually became larger, and Ingo was saved. He lowered his head and dared not say a word.

What happened to Ingo attracted the attention of wizards and Gringotts goblins.

Lockhart proudly announced the Slytherin Castle vault to the crowd, and after hearing the sour exclamations, he was as happy as if the vault belonged to him.

And the goblin in the scarlet and gilt uniform standing by the Gringotts gate looked ugly, his skin flushed with anger.

Not sure if it was because of Ingo being punished or because of the Slytherin Castle vault.

Moriarty surmised that it was both, that Gringotts controlled the wizarding economy to a large extent, with the exception of his vault, whose wealth would never end up in Gringotts.

This was enough to make the goblin crazily envious, and once Moriarty was targeted by the goblin, part of his time and energy would be restricted.

"I have to find a way to keep these goblins busy..." Moriarty thought about it. The world of Harry Potter is an incomplete magical world. Taking finance as an example, the financial system of wizards is full of loopholes.

Voldemort has worked hard for more than 50 years, just for his ambition to be the village chief. He painstakingly produced seven Horcruxes and recruited a lot of pure-blood families, but why didn't he think about changing his thinking?

Moriarty felt that Voldemort might never have thought otherwise, but Tom Riddle must have!

Although I thought about it, I couldn't do it!

Because of monopoly.

Ollivander has a monopoly on wands, the Foley family has a monopoly on book-related business, goblins have a monopoly on financial circulation, shareholders of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries have a monopoly on medicine, and even shampoo is monopolized by the Potter family... …

Voldemort can capture Ollivander as much as he wants, kill the heirs of the Foley family, and capture the Ministry of Magic...but he will never be able to obtain the knowledge and privileges of a monopoly.

That kind of privilege is not as powerful as Dumbledore and Voldemort, but it is passed down from generation to generation like an eternal truth.

To break the monopoly, Moriarty believes that there must be knowledge and privileges that are opposed to the monopoly.

Just in the financial field, Moriarty has the capital to break the monopoly.

That night, Moriarty called Lockhart for a detailed discussion.

Early the next morning, Lockhart announced at Lihen Bookstore that he would use the money earned from the new book to set up a "Hogwarts Mutual Aid Foundation" and deposit the money into Gringotts on the same day!

Looking at the goblin's grinning face, Lockhart couldn't help but sneer in his heart, but on the surface he put on a heartbroken look, and declared that the Mutual Aid Foundation was to help young wizards at Hogwarts improve their black magic skills. defense.

The reason Lockhart gave was that the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts changed every year, and there was no complete curriculum system, which would undoubtedly make little wizards take many detours.

Some senior wizards expressed their deep understanding of this, so Lockhart won the favor of the student community, which once again enhanced his reputation.

This time, however, Lockhart didn't make the front page of the Daily Prophet, which didn't even cover the Mutual Aid Foundation.

Moriarty had a premonition that something was wrong. Lockhart was too popular during this period, and he might be targeted.

So who is it? Ministry of Magic?
