The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 173 The Hogwarts Society with a Glorious Record

Moriarty glanced meaningfully at Lilith, waiting for the proud young lady to back down.

Lilith saw through it, but she was a woman destined to be queen; how could she possibly submit to a man?

Even though she liked this man, she still couldn't let go of her pride.

The young wizards noticed the strange atmosphere between Moriarty and Lilith and began to whisper among themselves.

Dumbledore pursed his lips. "Boys and girls, I have some advice for you. Would you like to hear it?"

Moriarty and Lilith looked at the White Wizard together. He smiled gently and said, "I don't think you'll find a better legal team than the White Coat members—the colored cards have fusion and memory spells, and their way of disseminating legal knowledge is ingenious. There's no doubt they've put a lot of thought into it."

Dumbledore made no attempt to hide his admiration for the members in white coats, and the praised members beamed with joy.

Then Dumbledore praised Lilith again: "If Miss Pilliwick is ready to work in the Department of Legal Affairs, I believe you and your team will become the best legal team."

Lilith felt a little embarrassed, after all, she really didn't want to work for the Ministry of Magic.

"But—" Dumbledore changed the subject: "You cannot be considered superior just because ordinary wizards do not know much about the law. I suggest that you carry out small-scale legal support activities in the castle."

Gemma and Percy both nodded.

"And on the other hand," Dumbledore said, looking at Moriarty, "Nico Flamel is a professor at Hogwarts, and Moriarty is a student of Slytherin."

The school won't ignore your legal contract with Nimbus Corporation—to be honest, this is the first time I've heard of this. You and Nico have never mentioned it to me before.

Dumbledore, with a wounded expression, took off his glasses and quietly wiped away non-existent tears!

Everyone knew it was fake, but no one said it; they just suppressed their laughter.

"So, Professor, what are you going to do?" Leon asked.

"Ah, thank you, our male president, for pulling me back to reality from the drama. Otherwise, I don't know how I would have ended this," Dumbledore said, regaining his composure as if everything that had just happened was an act. "Your Professor Nicol keeps dragging me to the Royal Theatre to watch plays. I can only say that he has rather unique tastes."

"Look at me, where was I?" Dumbledore walked to the professor's table and sat down. Everyone was used to his sudden madness and waited quietly for him to continue.

"Well, the school won't ignore this. Very well, that's great!" Dumbledore said happily. "How about leaving this to the White Coat members? I have full confidence in your abilities and efficiency. Miss Pilliwick, what do you say?"

Why did you specifically ask me to help Moriarty?!

Lilith's feelings were extremely complicated, a mixture of secret joy and distress. She longed to spend time with Moriarty, yet she was also afraid of messing things up.

“How about this,” Moriarty said, drawing everyone’s attention: “I remember Hogwarts used to have many societies. Lilith, you could create a society that provides legal support. You already have members, don’t you?”

He glanced at the members in white coats. He couldn't name these young wizards, but they looked familiar, and most of them were girls, with the majority being second and third-year students.

Moriarty vaguely remembered that these guys always sat in the front row during every Slytherin Quidditch match.

So you're saying he's a fan?

Lilith was one of the original creators of the Eternal Shine fan club.

So it's not surprising that Lilith assembled a team to organize club activities.

The members in white coats looked at Moriarty as if he were an angel.

Hogwarts has very few clubs, and every student who joins a club is a top student and an elite in their grade.

Most of the students who join the club will find their ideal job after graduation.

The problem is that the existing societies at Hogwarts are run by professors, and there are no societies founded by students themselves.

Dumbledore also pointed this out: "As you said, Moriarty, there used to be many societies in the castle."

However, you may not know that before leaving his post, our former headmaster, Mr. Armando Dippet, banned all private societies at Hogwarts and prohibited the creation of any new societies.

This order is an ironclad decree, agreed upon by all the professors of Hogwarts, supported by the twelve heads of the board, and approved by the Ministry of Magic!

Leon immediately asked, "Professor, why does Mr. Dippert prohibit the opening of private societies?"

Dumbledore seemed to glare at Leon, who opened his mouth but made no sound. Professor McGonagall gave him a worried look.

Everyone could tell that Dumbledore didn't want to talk about this, but Lilith said, "Because of one person!"

"Who?" the young wizards asked in unison.

"Decades ago, his name was also forbidden to be mentioned. He nearly ruled the European continent, and his name is etched in the history of wizards!"

Lilith gently tossed her hair, her eyes burning.

"If he doesn't top the list of the most dangerous dark wizards throughout history, it's only because a mysterious figure from a later generation has overtaken him and taken the crown!"

"hiss--"

A collective gasp filled the auditorium. Who was it? Someone who could be compared to that demon whose name couldn't even be mentioned!

Lilith revealed the answer: "His name is Grindelwald! The First Dark Lord!"

A glint suddenly flashed in Dumbledore's eyes, so subtle that only Moriarty noticed it.

The other professors seemed to tremble slightly, and the young wizards gaped in astonishment. Lilith, pleased with the sight, turned cold in her voice.

"According to my grandfather's recollection, around 1937, Grindelwald and his saints became increasingly rampant, and many students of Hogwarts, led by the former headmaster Mr. Armando Dippet, fought against the saints!"

At that time, Hogwarts had many societies that became the mainstay in the fight against the saints.

"Miss Pilivik is right."

Dumbledore spoke, a look of weariness appearing on his face.

"When the shadow of war loomed over the British Isles, students spontaneously organized themselves, forming groups and clubs, heading to the coastline, assisting the Aurors, and fighting against the Saints."

Principal Armando also founded a society, and Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, and I were all members of this society.

But far too many students died from the saints' repeated harassment and from their encounters.

Therefore, immediately after the war, Principal Armando disbanded all the societies.

The young wizards remained silent, none of them suspecting that a bloody past lay hidden behind the society!

"I do think the societies need to be revitalized; their existence is of great significance." Moriarty narrowed his eyes and slightly raised his hand.

Dumbledore stared at him: "Reason?"

"Communities played an irreplaceable role during the war, and such heroic acts are worthy of our emulation." Moriarty's eyes were deep. "Most importantly, in the present, in times of peace, we need more creative ideas."

Reopening clubs and allowing students to create their own clubs fosters a vibrant academic ecosystem and learning atmosphere, fully highlighting students' specialized talents and facilitating intellectual and spiritual exchange, thereby enhancing self-improvement and magical abilities.

From any perspective, this is a good thing.

Moriarty made eye contact with each professor carefully, his expression sincere.

Dumbledore exchanged glances with the professors without saying a word, while the young wizards whispered among themselves.

Lilith stared intently at Moriarty, as if afraid he would disappear from her sight. He had proposed restarting the club because of me!

At that moment, Lilith had this thought in her mind. She admitted that she was moved and wanted to throw herself into Moriarty's arms and cry.

“Headmaster Dumbledore? I think Mr. Moriarty has a point,” Jericho said thoughtfully, raising his hand. “I propose relaunching the Society!”

"I second that!"

Leon, Tonks, Charlie, and other upperclassmen raised their hands in support.

Soon, all the students raised their hands.

"Principal, let's restart the club!"

"Principal, we promise we won't cause any trouble."

"Professor Flitwick, you know I've wanted to start a Charms club for a long time!"

"Professor McGonagall, your Transfiguration Club has too high a requirement for me to join! But I also want to learn Transfiguration; I aspire to become a Transfiguration master!"

"Professor Nico, I can never seem to complete my alchemy experiments..."

"professor……"

A barrage of pleas arose, leaving the professors bewildered, and Dumbledore's expression turned serious.

Only Professor Snape's face turned ashen, and the next moment, his roar nearly lifted the ceiling!
