The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 221 The Slytherin Family is Thriving! (Please Subscribe)

Roman's expression turned strange, and he said in a joking manner, "Captain Max, it's my pleasure to introduce you to Mr. Cornelius Fudge."

"He is the only candidate for Minister of Magic in England," Roman said, a slightly sarcastic smile playing on his lips. "I imagine the next time you meet, Mr. Fudge will be Minister of Magic."

"So it's Mr. Fudge, oh no," Maxi flashed a bright smile at Fudge, revealing a set of pearly white teeth. "It's Minister Fudge. Nice to meet you."

When Fudge heard that Max had changed his way of addressing him, he couldn't stop smiling.

It is now August 1999, and Milison Bagno is getting old and about to retire.

Fudge will soon be able to take over her position as the new Minister of Magic.

So Maxi's statement isn't wrong.

In fact, Milison Bargnau would have resigned in March if the British team hadn't reached the final.

For Minister Bagno, although her resignation was a foregone conclusion, she still fantasized about making a fortune in political capital at the end of her political career.

She wouldn't miss a single British team match; as long as she was there, she felt proud if the British team won.

This little scheme was seen through by everyone in the Ministry of Magic, and Fudge was jealous of Bagno.

He believed that Bagno should retire early and give him the opportunity to enjoy the praise of dignitaries from various countries in Hyprose.

In reality, Bagno, in his luxurious box at Hyprose, garnered praise from dignitaries around the world and enjoyed the adoration of wizards from various countries.

Fudge, on the other hand, could only work in the Ministry of Magic.

Bagno noticed Fudge's emotions.

To take care of Fudge, she specifically arranged for Fudge to take over the Ministry of Magic during her absence from England.

Fudge was no less decisive, behaving in a proper and cautious manner after taking over.

However, some people discovered that Fudge had transferred his nephew Rufus Fudge to the Office of the Prevention of Misuse of Magic.

In short, Fudge now wields absolute power but does not display greed; his respectful greeting of Moriarty is, in a way, a strategic maneuver.

Moriarty saw through it, but didn't point it out. He said in his usual calm tone, "I'm taking the team back to Slytherin Castle. Mr. Fudge, go ahead and do your work."

"Alright, sir, I won't bother you any longer," Fudge knew Moriarty's decisive style, so he didn't ask any questions or say anything more, and gave a slight bow: "Goodbye, sir, I wish you success in the final and that you bring home the championship trophy."

Moriarty nodded slightly, and Fudge quickly summoned a Ministry of Magic employee to escort Moriarty out of the Ministry.

Roman and the players followed Moriarty, excitedly exchanging messages.

"Slytherin Castle is the oldest and most luxurious castle in the pure-blood family. Now, we're going to visit the castle. Wow, what a wonderful thing!"

"Speaking of which, Jericho spent Christmas at Slytherin Castle, and then he wasn't too keen on going home for the winter break," Maxie said with a hint of regret.

"Don't be angry with him. I promise you'll fall in love with Slytherin Castle too," Roman said, sounding like someone who'd been there all along.

The group, chatting and laughing, Apparated and arrived at Slytherin Castle, where Luke and Ingo stood at the door to greet them.

"Young Master, my most respected and greatest Young Master! Oh~" Luke, with tears in his eyes, skipped and jumped to Moriarty's side. "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, Young Master. You've become even more mature and handsome, my Young Master~"

Ingo then reported to Moriarty about the castle's guests: "After Hogwarts went on holiday, Marcus, Jericho, and Leon came to visit the castle. They will be going to watch the World Cup in August, and they plan to stay in the castle until then."

"What? Jericho is really in the castle?" Maxi walked over with a stern face.

"He didn't come home for the holidays and didn't even write a letter! This naughty child must have gone crazy with fun! He's such a good brother of mine!"

Maxi cracked his knuckles.

"Heh, where is he? Let me see him..."

Ingo betrayed Jericho without hesitation, saying coldly, "He's sleeping in room 66 on the third floor. He was having too much fun last night."

Max looked puzzled: "Room 66? Sir? I suspect your fairy butler has turned your castle into a hotel."

"That's an interesting point," Moriarty clicked his tongue. "But Ingo didn't do that; there are indeed many rooms on the third floor."

"That's only natural!" Luke exclaimed. "The old master wanted his descendants to have a great many children, as many as the gold bars in the underground vault! May Slytherin be numerous!"

Moriarty's lips twitched. This...

Should we let Diana try? Maybe she could get pregnant with a hundred or eighty babies in one go!

Or tie Voldemort up and let him live!

Although the Gaunt family bloodline is somewhat distant, it is still considered a branch of Slytherin.

Poor Voldemort, huh.

"Speaking of a large family, young master," Ingo said slowly, "Lady Tonks originally planned to move into the castle after the holidays, but her parents took her from Hogsmeade."

"There's one more thing..."

Ingo carefully chose his words: "Several pure-blood families, including the Malfoy family, the Pansy family, and the Greengrass family, have sent the young master tickets to the World Cup VIP box."

"Deliver the tickets to Tonks' house."

Moriarty knew that Tonks' mother was Andromeda Tonks, who was expelled from the Black family for marrying Taylor Tonks.

Having had this experience, Andromeda probably wouldn't support Tonks falling in love with a pure-blood wizard.

But Moriarty didn't care. Tonks' promise hadn't been fulfilled yet, and just thinking about that promise made Moriarty's heart flutter.

Moreover, Tonks is also a very fertile woman...

cough cough.

The real reason was that Moriarty couldn't let Tonks marry Lupin as she did in the original story.

In terms of family lineage, Narcissa is Tonks' aunt, and Sirius is Tonks' cousin.

Lupin and Sirius were classmates, but Tonks and Lupin? That's ridiculous!

In order to win over Tonks, Moriarty decided to invite the Tonks family to watch the World Cup final so they could see him showcase his skills.

"Yes, young master, I'll take care of it right away." Luke walked away smugly, his smile almost reaching his ears: "After more than half a year, I've finally received a mission from you, young master!"

Maxi heard this, his expression indescribable: "House-elves, hmm... how wonderful..."

"Does the Blanche family not have house-elves?"

"Very few, extremely few. And we never assign tasks to house-elves; their most important job is to regularly go to the city to buy groceries and daily necessities."

Jericho must have told you, the Blanche family owns many farms in the American West, and we spend most of our time living in the countryside.

Moriarty and Maxi started chatting, and Ingo opened the castle gates, allowing the group to enter.

Before long, Maxi, Roman, and the players were lost in the splendor and comfort of the castle, while Moriarty led Ingo to the underground chamber.

With the players present, Ingo concealed some information and did not report it.

This includes: Hogwarts preparing a make-up exam for Moriarty.

Rumor has it that Mrs. Malfoy is preparing to invite all members of the Everlasting Shining fan club to Hyprose to watch the World Cup final, with all expenses to be covered by the Malfoy family.

Old Flint and Old Foley moved the gold from the underground vault.

A pale-skinned young man was asking around for the address of Slytherin Castle.

"The first three pieces of news are nothing to be alarmed about."

Moriarty sat in the chair in the Chamber of Secrets and said to Ingo, "Hogwarts will prepare make-up exams for students who fail or miss an exam. If they fail the make-up exam, they can only choose to repeat the course."

Of course, for me, the final exam is nothing.

The second one—Mrs. Malfoy? This woman won't be a threat to me.

Moriarty shook his head and smiled. It seemed that Mrs. Malfoy intended to completely bind the Malfoy family to him. He had become accustomed to Mrs. Malfoy's frequent overtures.

"And the third thing—the gold in the underground vault was something I approved their misappropriation of."

Ingo nodded reluctantly. He watched as crates and crates of gold bricks were carried away, and his heart bled.

As a fairy, Ingo hoped that the gold in the underground vault would stay there forever, so that he would still be happy even if the gold did not belong to him.

Moriarty knew the goblins' possessiveness towards gold, glared sternly at Ingo, and then said in a deep voice, "As for the fourth piece of information? The pale-skinned young man... is he a vampire?"

“Yes, sir.” Ingo’s tone turned sarcastic. “Luke and I secretly observed that man in Hogsmeade. He’s a vampire, but for some reason, he’s not afraid of sunlight, nor has he attacked any wizards. He just strolled around Diagon Alley openly!”

"A vampire who loves shopping..."

Moriarty thought for a moment, then smirked. He knew the vampire's identity; of all the vampires he knew, that guy was the most flamboyant.
