The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 154 The Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor Who Only Taught Three Classes

Eight hours later, the battle came to an end.

Diana fell into a deep sleep, while Moriarty, dressed in his robes, emerged from the oak tree full of energy.

It must be admitted that in some aspects, Moriarty's talent was also exceptional and unparalleled.

The thousand-year-old Elf Queen was utterly defenseless, and even in her dreams, the same battle seemed to be taking place.

Moriarty, meanwhile, took a deep breath of fresh air and walked blissfully across the grass, admiring the Avalon landscape under the night sky.

"Hehe... Look, he's out!"

A burst of cheerful laughter rang out.

Moriarty saw a group of female elves sitting on several large trees nearby. Their cheeks were flushed, and they were whispering to each other, occasionally glancing at Moriarty.

Upon realizing that Moriarty had spotted them, they panicked and hid in the grass, their silhouette bearing a striking resemblance to Diana.

But soon, a circle of little heads popped out of the grass.

"Where is Her Majesty?"

"The Queen is exhausted and is probably resting."

"That boy is so naughty, I heard Her Majesty the Queen's voice become hoarse."

So you were eavesdropping.

Moriarty looked over and thought, "Hmm, very good, there are no male elves, only female elves."

The male elves, like a bunch of defeated dogs, made a quiet exit early on.

Moriarty decided to go and say hello, but instead heard the laughter of the elves.

"Oh no, stop talking! He's coming towards us! Run!"

A series of rustling sounds arose, and Moriarty saw a large number of female elves emerge from the grass and trees and run into the depths of the forest.

Moriarty shook his head, looking at their mischievous antics, and thought of the students at Hogwarts.

Dracula plagued Hogwarts for the entire month of September, but now that he has been eliminated by Moriarty and Merlin, the young wizards should get back to normal.

"Oh, right, Lilith and Jericho! I should have had Diana release them beforehand." Moriarty was a little embarrassed; he was having a good time but had forgotten about his companions.

But to be fair, the Elf Queen is really amazing!

"Hey! Slytherin?"

Merlin's voice sounded behind Moriarty. He patted Moriarty on the shoulder and chuckled, "What are you thinking about so intently?"

Moriarty raised an eyebrow: "This is called 'wise man's mode,' you wouldn't understand."

"I don't understand? How dare you speak to a senior like that!" Merlin chuckled slyly. "Vivian was the first Elf Queen, how could I not understand?"

Moriarty suddenly realized, and seeing that Merlin seemed to want to deepen their conversation, he quickly pushed Merlin away.

"Where's Vivian? You—" Moriarty hesitated, remembering that the last time he saw Merlin, he was being tossed around by Vivian.

But now it's vividly alive beside him, it's unbelievable.

Merlin put away his frivolous expression and looked into the distance. "No matter what form she takes, she will always be my Vivian."

In the distance, a tall, dark figure seemed to be waving at them.

Moriarty understood, and instead of asking any more questions, he changed the subject to themselves.

"What are your plans next? Open a magic school? Or continue searching for the magic to resurrect King Arthur?"

Merlin's goals, or rather his wishes, have always been these two. Oh right, now we can add finding his true form.

Sure enough, Merlin smiled slightly: "Continuing the search for the magic of resurrection is of no greater importance to me than anything else, like Arthur. However, in the process of searching, I will also gather information about the whereabouts of the original body."

The dark figure in the distance seemed to let out a disgruntled roar, and Merlin quickly added, "Of course, Vivian will be coming with me. It's going to be a wonderful journey, yes, that's it!"

"Well, so this is the real Merlin." Moriarty said with a smirk. "After returning to Hogwarts, I can't wait to write an article—Merlin is henpecked. I'll find the best novelist in all of Britain to write it, and I guarantee it will make you famous."

"No, no, no..." Merlin laughed awkwardly, then said with a hint of seriousness, "You absolutely must not reveal my information."

Notice! Notice! Notice!

Please don't mention that I studied at Hogwarts—I cast a time spell on that history to make people believe that the Merlin in Slytherin wasn't me, and it took me a lot of effort to do that.

I don't want anyone to know that Merlin is me.

Moriarty's expression changed, and Merlin quickly explained, "I understand you want to know the reason, but I'd rather you never know. If there's a chance, I'll tell you next time we meet—but I must say, we'd better not see each other again."

Merlin smiled sincerely at Moriarty, then waved his hand, touched the ground with his toes, and flew into the air. With a dragon's roar, he transformed into an ancient black dragon and flew away into the distance.

Moriarty saw a dark figure leap onto the black dragon's back and roll around comfortably.

"Dragon? Human?"

Moriarty hesitated, then finally solidified his belief: Yes! That's exactly how Merlin won over Vivian!

Only the Black Dragon form can defeat Vivian.

Otherwise, how could Merlin have won over Vivian?

What a joke, did you think it was me?

Moriarty felt a slight sense of satisfaction. He glanced at the oak tree; night had fallen, and it seemed, perhaps, maybe, it was time to sleep…

"Teacher Diana?" Moriarty smiled and walked into the oak tree, waking Diana.

"You're so annoying!" Diana pouted, too lazy to move.

"What did you say?"

Moriarty's eyes turned dangerous.

"oops!"

"Teacher Diana, I..." Moriarty smiled and leaned closer, whispering something in Diana's ear before resuming the fight.

The fierce battle continued until dawn, and Diana awoke as the first rays of sunlight fell on Moriarty's face.

"Release Lilith and Jericho, we need to go back to Hogwarts."

Diana paused, then said pitifully, "Can't you stay and keep me company?"

"Know your place. Don't make me remind you a second time," Moriarty said unmoved. "This place doesn't belong to me."

Diana was initially annoyed, but then she discovered something that cheered her up.

At noon, Moriarty and Diana emerged, completely reverting to their original appearances; Moriarty was aloof, and Diana was cold and distant.

Diana ordered several elves to bring Lilith and Jericho over, and they were locked in separate rooms and slept for more than 20 hours.

"Moriarty!"

"teacher!"

The two ran toward Moriarty, their expressions excited.

"Where is Dracula?"

Where is Merlin?

"Did you win?"

"Oh! That's right! Yes, elves! They attacked us!"

The two started arguing, and it took Moriarty and Diana a long time to explain to them what had happened.

Of course, the story of Oak Tree and Merlin and Vivian are omitted.

"So that's how it is!" Jericho exclaimed in surprise. "Sir, you saved us! You saved Hogwarts!"

Lilith was also excited, and gave Moriarty a reserved smile. When it was Diana's turn, she just nodded slightly. She felt that something had happened to Diana, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Alright, let's save the congratulations for Hogwarts," Moriarty chuckled. "I bet you're all hungry. Let's head back; the castle should be restored to its former glory!"

"Ha ha, I'm starving!" Jericho rubbed his stomach, then suddenly realized his hands were empty. He jumped up and roared at the elf guarding him, "Give me back my stag!"

Diana chuckled and sent the elf to fetch his stag, then adopted the air of a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, saying, "Class, in light of this excellent adventure, I hereby declare that you are exempt from this final exam! I will explain the situation to Headmaster Dumbledore."

"What do you mean? You're not coming back to the castle with us?" Lilith raised an eyebrow.

"I won't go back for now. I need to take care of some clan affairs." Diana smiled victoriously, thinking that since Moriarty told her to be obedient, she would just be his little woman. But she still won.

This left Lilith completely baffled.

Jericho slapped his forehead. "Our Defense Against the Dark Arts professorship is going to be vacant again! Only a month into the semester, oh no! You've only taught us three classes!"

"Haha." Moriarty and Diana exchanged a smile. "Let's go back and wait for Dumbledore's message. I think they've already woken up and returned to normal."

As Moriarty spoke, he looked into the distance, where the sunlight of Avalon shone brilliantly and brightly on the lake.
