The Big Boss Behind Hogwarts

For this, Lockhart had to run around, looking for someone to ask.

Until the early morning of December 4, 1987, Lockhart knocked on the gate of the castle.

After being picked up by Luke, he made a beeline for the dining room, where Moriarty was having breakfast.

"Master, I know why the Daily Prophet didn't report on the Mutual Aid Foundation."

Lockhart's voice was dry, and Moriarty noticed that he looked terrible.

He must have not slept well for several days because of this matter, two big dark circles hung on his face, and the hem of his embroidered coat was full of mud, obviously he was tired from traveling these days.

Moriarty poured a glass of milk for Lockhart, "Come on, Lockhart, drink it and talk slowly, put your heart back in your stomach, with me here, any problem is not a problem."

Lockhart gulped down a glass of milk, his face flushed, and he took out a letter.

"Look, master, Old Foley wrote me early in the morning, saying that the Mutual Aid Foundation was boycotted!" Lockhart gritted his teeth and said, "It's Lucius Malfoy! He united several pure-blood families to boycott your Mutual Aid Fund Yes! That treacherous and cunning Death Eater! He should be in Azkaban if I say so, he's so bad!"

"Haha, don't say that." Moriarty laughed at Lockhart's appearance.

The pure-blood family didn't put any pressure on him. He didn't even read the letter from old Foley. In fact, when he heard the name Lucius Malfoy, he thought everything through.

"It's very important to find out who is targeting us behind the scenes. You have done a good job, Lockhart!" Moriarty praised, and then his eyes became sharper: "I have already prepared the worst plan in my heart-" —if the goblins are behind us, maybe I'll do my best to destroy Gringotts first."

Lockhart blinked, and thoughtfully said: "So, maybe the attack of the pure-blood family is not a bad thing for the young master, can we cooperate with the pure-blood family?"

"I am delighted by the way you think about things."

Moriarty offered Lockhart another glass of milk, and even clinked glasses with Lockhart.

After drinking the milk, Moriarty cleared his throat: "About purebloods, you need to remember that most of them are immersed in their former glory.

Forget the revival era you brought up? When the times abandon them, they won't even say goodbye to them.

Unless the pure-blood family changes, my relationship with the pure-blood family is just cooperation. "

"I see, Master," Lockhart said with a serious face, "So what should we do this time?"

"Even if it's cooperation, I won't suffer." Moriarty said slowly, "I asked you to create a mutual aid foundation to dig a hole for goblins. Since pure-blood families have popped up, let them They lost Merlin's panties!"

Moriarty said and left the dining room. He took Salazar's diary from Salazar's bedroom, pointed to a note on one of the pages and said to Lockhart: "See, you go and check it yourself. Corner Lane bought these potion ingredients back."

"Wow," Lockhart said in surprise, "You want to make potions?"

"That's right, I want to refine the first of the 17 potions left by the ancestors of Salazar, and it is also a potion that has never been seen in the magic world, a neutralizing potion!"

Moriarty had already memorized Salazar's diary, and he introduced it skillfully.

"This potion is like a weight, which can balance the tilted balance. It is used for those unbalanced potions, which can not only reduce the dangerous ingredients in the potion, but also improve the characteristics of the potion.

Salazar Patriarchs say it can even counteract the bad luck of taking too much Felicia. However, it is not easy to configure it. Except for the ones that can be bought in the world, many raw materials have disappeared, but I think there should be the materials I need in the basement on the first floor. "

After Moriarty finished speaking, he saw Lockhart who had been listening in a daze, "What are you still doing?"

Lockhart shuddered, shook his head and stumbled away.

"He's really weird today," Moriarty sighed, "Did you say Luke!"

The house elf pretended to make some comments, but he was not happy for long, and was sent by Moriarty to tidy up the cauldron in a blink of an eye.

"Ingo!" Moriarty said to the goblin who was slowly coming over, "Go to Knockturn Alley and buy vampire's eyeballs, werewolf nail caps, dew on the first flowering of dryads, color-changing The buck teeth of the ghoul..."

Many materials are only sold in Knockturn Alley, Moriarty dare not let Lockhart buy them, and Ingo the goblin is the most suitable candidate.

After dispatching three of his assistants in succession, Moriarty walked towards the underground vault and found the most important materials according to the records in Salazar's diary.

Luke took the crucible, balance, vial, stove and other instruments into the room where Salazar made potions nine hundred years ago.

There were more than a dozen crucibles of various sizes and materials. Luke numbered them and placed them on the long table one by one.

Touched by the scene, Luke shed tears emotionally: "The young master is really too much like the old master..."

Moriarty memorized each step over and over in case he made a mistake. This was his first time making a potion.

According to his school year plan, he would try to refine the neutralizing potion and the other two potions after entering Hogwarts. The pure blood family's target made him advance this plan by nine months!

An hour later, Lockhart came back first, and he couldn't wait to look for Moriarty as soon as he entered the door.

"Master? Master? I ask you to allow me to use a minute to tell you an idea, my idea!"

Lockhart ran into the potions room and said out of breath, "When I was still in Hogwarts, I thought about making a shampoo.

And I did - I managed to create a new shampoo using the yolk of a bird snake egg as the main ingredient, I called it Bird Snake Yolk Shampoo!

It is effective in locking the shine in the hair, I tried it and it really works.

But the fly in the ointment is that it has certain dangers... such as the hair will suddenly grow long, then go bald, and then grow longer again!

Of course, this is only occasionally, I think it has something to do with the ability of birds and snakes to expand and contract at will..."

Lockhart said a lot, the room was extremely quiet, he looked at Moriarty expectantly: "So? I thought about it on the way, I think adding a neutralizing agent to the bird snake egg yolk shampoo, Maybe it can neutralize the danger of birds and snakes! Master? Do you think my idea is right?"

Moriarty seemed to know Lockhart again, and he understood why Lockhart was acting weird before.

I remember that Gilderoy Lockhart once said in his class that his greatest ambition is to eliminate evil in the world and sell his own series of hair care products.

There was a crisp sound of "Ding Dong" in his mind, and Moriarty received a system prompt.

"Issue the task: refine the non-dangerous bird and snake egg yolk shampoo, and give it to Professor Snape! The task period is one year. The reward is an achievement lottery! If the task fails, punish the host and have the same hairstyle as Professor Snape .”

Sri Lanka's same hairstyle?

Isn't that messy yet elegant and beautiful (oil) hair (head)!

Moriarty fell into deep thought. This mission seemed to be one, but it was actually two.

First up, Refining New Shampoo.

Even if the system does not issue a task, Moriarty will refine this shampoo. He wants Lockhart to take the new shampoo to break the Potter family's monopoly on shampoo, and then compete with the Pureblood family in the market .

Second, new shampoo for Professor Snape? ? ?

This task left Moriarty at a loss as to what to say. With Snape's personality, he would accept the shampoo provided by Lily, and Voldemort would not allow him to wash his hair when he came!

It seems that this task can only wait for the school to start, Moriarty sighed, and turned to look at Lockhart.

At this moment, Lockhart was like a student who had finished an exam, anxiously waiting for the teacher to mark the paper.

"You will never disappoint in terms of fashion!" Moriarty praised Lockhart: "No one can come up with such a genius idea! Bird snake egg yolk shampoo plus neutralizing potion must It will shock the entire wizarding world."

"Oh master~ thank you!" Lockhart shed tears silently. He was a little transparent at Hogwarts, but he was eager to be famous and to be recognized, but no one could give him a word of appreciation.

Thinking about the shampoo that people who once despised him will use it makes Lockhart happier than he won the fourth most charming smile award. For some reason, the first person that Lockhart thought of was Severer Snape.

"I'm going to write to Professor Snape and recommend my shampoo! Haha, it's wonderful."

Lockhart is a man of action, and he was about to write a letter, but Moriarty stopped him: "Be sober, we haven't started refining yet! Come and refine potions with me, you need to refine many copies Bird Snake Egg Yolk Shampoo makes sure I feel free to experiment with neutralizing ratios."

If Lockhart were to write a letter to Snape, Moriarty's mission would never be completed, and he would be wiped out by the system that day!

Therefore, Moriarty's tone was very severe, and Lockhart quickly put away his villainous face and began to refine shampoo in a hurry.

Seeing this scene, Luke smiled and bent over, but he was soon sent by Moriarty to sort out the pile of materials.

"That makes sense." Moriarty took a few glances at the potion room. Now that there was an atmosphere of refining potions, he gradually entered the state.

The process of refining neutralizing potions is not dangerous. Salazar's original intention of developing it was to eliminate the dangers of most potions. When dozens of deadly poisonous raw materials were added to the No. 1 golden crucible, " gurgling" sound of bubbles.

Moriarty simmered the No. 2 golden crucible slowly. After baking for thirty minutes, he needed to pour the materials in the No. 1 golden crucible into the No. 2 golden crucible to extract the essence from those dangerous ingredients.

This is not an easy task, perhaps just as there is no real fairness in the world, Salazar's formula eliminates the possible disasters caused by dangerous ingredients, but it cannot eliminate the unpleasant smell they bring.

The color-changing ghoul's buck teeth gave off a hot stench, which made the master and the servants in the potion room almost spit out their breakfast.

"Luke, keep the temperature of the fire at 44.43 degrees!" Moriarty covered his mouth and nose and said to the house elf, "No more than one degree! The dryad's dew will react with the black dragon's saliva."

At this time, Moriarty regretted not having learned fire elemental magic. The potion was closely related to the magic fire used to refine the potion, like a pair of twin brothers.

With the magic power of the fire element, it will undoubtedly make his control over the slow fire and the fire more delicate, instead of letting Luke assist him like now.

This made Moriarty determined to learn more about Potions, and the tests were not limited to these.

The recipe left by Salazar was very complicated, and Moriarty had to keep in mind the time when each raw material was added to the No. 1 golden crucible, and then pour them into the No. 2 golden crucible in the order of the recipe to squeeze out the white essence.

"Lockhart, bring the scales, I want to make sure the essence doesn't weigh more than 610 grams!"

Sequence, temperature, and weight, Moriarty overcame one difficulty after another, and finally reached the final step.

time.

Moriarty poured the essence into an ordinary crucible and stirred it. This stirring would last for fourteen hours and seventeen minutes!

Lockhart looked at Moriarty with admiration. There was an automatic stirring crucible that could stir it automatically, but Moriarty insisted on stirring it with his own hands!

"The speed and force of the automatic stirring of the crucible are different from those of Salazar's ancestors. I can't ignore any detail because of my hard work.

Lockhart, you have to remember that the shampoo is sold by us, and we must ensure that every step is the same as that of Salazar's ancestors. "

When Moriarty said this, Lockhart was encouraged after hearing this, and decided not to rest, and seized the time to refine a few more servings of Bird Snake Egg Yolk Shampoo.

Luke shed tears of excitement and relief again, closed the door and retreated silently. He can rest well, at least he doesn't have to prepare lunch and dinner.

Fourteen hours and seventeen minutes later, Moriarty finally stopped stirring, and the neutralizing potion was completed!

Moriarty let out a sigh of relief, put down the spoon, and sat down on the armchair, his arms drooping limply.

Too tired, Moriarty wasn't too tired even after fighting four dark wizards.

Lockhart had already collapsed on the carpet. He had concocted more than ten copies of Bird Snake Egg Yolk Shampoo, and he had been waiting for Moriarty.

He mumbled weakly: "Master, I'd rather fight four dark wizards again, go through an avalanche again, and don't want to refine potions anymore!

I didn't do very well in potions when I was in school, and I had a lot of complaints about that old bat of Professor Snape.

Now that I think about it, I really admire him, those potions masters - I don't know how they persisted, they... are so good! "

Lockhart covered his forehead and eyes with his hands. He was very famous, but he didn't have the strength to match his fame.

"Come on, get up Lockhart, we are still short of the last process! After today, your bird snake egg yolk shampoo will be on the market!"

Moriarty struggled to get up from the chair. He looked out the window. It was already around one in the morning. Regarding Lockhart's feelings, he knew that any words of comfort would not have much effect on the poor man. .

Moriarty can only continue to explore in the magical sky, leading Lockhart to appreciate the charm of magic, changing him and shaping him.

The next thing is much simpler. The neutralizing potion perfectly eliminates the random expansion and contraction of the bird snake, and the bird snake egg yolk shampoo is no longer mutagenic and dangerous.

Lockhart seemed to be revived with full blood, rushed into the bathroom with the shampoo just out of the pot, and happily washed his hair with his own shampoo.

1. The inventor of bird snake egg yolk shampoo is Gilderoy Lockhart. The effect is to ensure that the hair "locks in luster". The known raw material is the egg yolk of bird snake eggs. But the shampoo was expensive and dangerous to use, so it was never made for the mass market.

2. The bird snake is a winged, two-legged animal native to Asia. It is a bird-shaped ogre with a bird-like head and a snake's body. It is a 4x-level magical creature. The bird snake can expand and contract at will, so it can either be large enough to fill any space, or shrink its body according to the available space.
