The Big Boss Behind Hogwarts

Chapter 8 The Fiction Conflagration (seeking votes, seeking investment)

Luke straightened his back and said loudly like a soldier: "I assure you, Master, you will have first-hand information!"

After speaking, he sent out all the house-elves in the castle as if commanding a military operation, and they muttered to surround the main office of the "Daily Prophet".

Obviously, this method is very efficient. Moriarty got the latest "Daily Prophet" after finishing his morning tea.

The title is bolded in black, and it reads: "How many secrets in the wizarding world do we not know about Gilderoy Lockhart's new book "In Eastern Tibet with Slytherin?"

Moriarty unfolded the newspaper and read: "The most popular best-selling author Gilderoy Lockhart returns to Diagon Alley with a new book, and holds a new book launch conference at Lihen Bookstore..."

A photo of Lockhart is attached below, and the "Daily Prophet" moved all of Lockhart's speeches at the book launch conference.

Moriarty read it with relish as if watching a live broadcast.

Today's Lockhart wears colorful ornate robes and has his hair in golden waves.

"I, Gilderoy Lockhart! Three-time Wizards Weekly Award for Most Charming Smile - don't want to talk about that, but do you know? Salazar Slytherin's last direct blood relatives Compliment my smile!

oh oh! Wizards, I know you must be surprised, you may think I'm a liar, but no one dares to make fun of Slytherin-I mean, Salazar Slytherin, one of the Big Four at Hogwarts, also There are descendants who survived and returned to the British wizarding world!

Quiet! Wizards, don't be like Muggles who have never seen the world, although my reaction to this news was the same as yours when I first heard it, haha. "

Lockhart laughed at himself, which resonated with most of the wizards, and he showed his teeth, which made several witches scream.

"But we are wizards! Take out our wands, ladies and gentlemen!" Lockhart took out his wand first, "Oh, don't point your wand at me, let's take our wands and call Slytherin!

That's right, you heard me right, it's calling Slytherin!

I know many of us are not from Slytherin House, but Salazar Slytherin is the reason we all learn magic and go to Hogwarts!

When the Gaunts died, we thought Slytherins were dead, and when the wizarding families in Godric's Hollow dwindled, we thought the Gryffindors would never come again.

But when I saw the descendants of Slytherin in Huaxia Dongzang, I was absolutely sure that a new era was coming! "Lockhart's cheeks flushed with excitement.

"Yes, yes, you guessed it, the Age of Revival!

Mind you, it's a magic revival, not a wizard revival!

Believe me, in a few years, people in Europe, America, Africa, Asia... all over the world will cheer! "

"You think I'm going to say that the name the world is cheering on is Slytherin?

No no, the cheering name is Magic!

Slytherin belongs to magic, and we belong to magic too! And Moriarty Slytherin is the one who will lead the world to magic! "

Lockhart raised his wand above his head and yelled at the crowd: "Now, let's call the Slytherins!"

"Slytherin!!!" The wizards yelled, waving their wands as if in a ritual.

There is also a small group of wizards who call out "Moriarty", apparently realizing that the Slytherin descendants are named Moriarty.

"Very good, great!" Lockhart clapped his hands in satisfaction. He took out his latest novel from the bookstore. Beautiful pictures of snow-capped mountains.

"You can come and buy books. This time "Slytherin in Eastern Tibet" is a limited edition. A book costs twelve Galleons and Sickles silver. I will stay here for three hours. My fan signature."

Lockhart winked at a group of witches, but the wizards were not in the mood to pay attention to Lockhart. They rushed to the bookstore frantically, and the crowd became crowded and messy.

In order to squeeze into the bookstore, the wizards behind had to cast spells on the wizards in front, and two Slytherin students even chanted a spell: Oolong came out of the hole and summoned two black snakes.

Lockhart stood on a chair and said emphatically, "Is there anyone who bought the novel? You can check if what I said is true? I am willing to take responsibility for what I said!"

The crowd became more crowded, and the wizard who grabbed the novel first threw a money bag to the clerk, wrapped the novel tightly in his robes, and Apparated away.

Many wizards do this, they are afraid that others will snatch the novel in their arms.

But more wizards, especially the young wizards of Slytherin College, read the novels in Diagon Alley after buying them.

"Oh Merlin!" cried a wizard who had read a few pages of the novel, covering his mouth. "Parseltongue, Slytherin Staff! It's true! Moriarty is really a descendant of Slytherin!"

Immediately, a group of wizards came forward to look at it, and then the exclamations of wizards kept ringing in Diagon Alley.

"Look here," a wizard read, pointing to a passage in the novel: "Moriarty wielded the Slytherin staff, manipulated the branches to draw a magic circle on the snow, and Lockhart realized that it might be Slytherin's family magic, in order to cooperate with Moriarty, Lockhart bravely rushed to the dark wizard...

Lockhart was pointed at by the dark wizard's wand, and seeing that Cruciatus was about to fall on him, Moriarty shouted: "Dance of the Ice Serpent"..."

The wizard waved his wand vigorously, as if he was drawing a magic circle and shouted: "Moriarty defeated the dark wizard with a magic circle! I bet it must be the magic left by Salazar Slytherin! "

Many wizards echoed: "That's right, it's not surprising that Moriarty summoned an ice snake, you know he's a Parseltongue!"

A witch's voice came from nearby: "Oh Moriarty~ He looks so handsome on the broomstick! He saved Lockhart! They are two of my favorite people!"

She had seen the content near the end, and tilted her head to fantasize: "Oh my god, I really want to see Moriarty riding a broom and playing Quidditch."

Several wizards held the novel and analyzed it: "I now believe what Lockhart said. Who would dare to believe that Moriarty is only ten and a half years old?"

"If it weren't for the many detailed descriptions and battle descriptions in the novel, I wouldn't hesitate to question the authenticity of this novel! But it's a pity..." A well-dressed tall wizard shook his head, "Morrie Artie's description of the magic circle is too real, you must know that the magic circle recorded in my family's magic book is not so detailed."

Several wizards frowned after hearing this, and they suddenly felt an indescribable feeling when they looked at the novel in their hands.

At this time, the group of wizards who had apparated with the novel came back again. They pushed through the crowd with all their strength, and when they entered the bookstore, they only saw "In Eastern Tibet with Slytherin". They did not hide the enthusiasm in their eyes. Load books inside!

"Oh no!" The well-dressed wizard suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "They are sent by the major families! The pure-blood families want to divide up the novel in order to learn Moriarty's magic circle!"

"Put that book down!"

The wizards broke out, and they finally realized what that indescribable feeling was. Although they didn't know Parseltongue, they might be able to learn the magic circle!

After discovering the value of "In Eastern Tibet with Slytherin", some wizards began to believe in what Lockhart said, but more wizards rushed into Lihen Bookstore again.

Lockhart shouted: "Hey, hey! Pay attention to the image! I don't expect you to read the whole story calmly, because I am the same, I can't control my hand when I write the story, it shakes stop.

But I hope you will keep your wizarding demeanor and stop fighting and tearing up this treasure like a troll!

Behold, since you realize its value, you should not destroy it.

Oh shit, you stepped on my shoe..."

Lockhart bent down to put on his shoes again, and couldn't help laughing where no one else could see. The group of wizards who snatched the books were invited by the Foley family, and it was an agreement between them.

When they saw the manuscript, the Foley family really wanted to learn Moriarty's magic circle secretly, but they gave up after finding out that they couldn't learn it no matter how hard they tried, and cooperated with Lockhart to hold a press conference.

Lockhart raised his head and scanned the crowd. More and more wizards were coming. There were no customers in the other shops in Diagon Alley, and even many store managers were scrambling for books.

Suddenly he saw Rita Skeeter, and they both smiled.

Lockhart knew that the novel was popular, but Rita remembered the gold brick she got a few days ago, and she had to write a report.
