The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 297 The Bustling Diagon Alley

Tonks continued, following Moriarty's words: "Professor Randy has been teaching us Defense Against the Dark Arts for two years, which has already caused dissatisfaction among most wizards."

Now that Hogwarts is about to admit another vampire, the wizards have reached their breaking point.

The letters they sent to Headmaster Dumbledore and the Twelve Lords of the Board of Trustees were more, more…

Tonks thought for a moment and used a simple analogy: "More parchment than Hogwarts students use in a year!"

Hogwarts offers more than a dozen magic courses, and the professors of each course assign homework.

These assignments are mostly given to young wizards in the form of papers, and the amount of parchment consumed each year is an unimaginable astronomical figure.

Moriarty could already picture the scene of letters flooding the Hogwarts headmaster's office.

He couldn't help but laugh. The British wizards' reaction was so intense; it seemed that Dumbledore's visit to Slytherin Castle was probably to discuss something with him.

"Sir, please do not underestimate the enemy."

Charlie squeezed his way to Moriarty.

The red-haired boy, who usually had a gentle smile on his face, now looked very serious.

The twin brothers lost interest in playing pranks and followed behind Charlie with equally serious expressions.

"My father asked me to give this letter to you, sir. He hopes you will read it carefully."

Charlie pulled a thick, white envelope from his pocket, the thickness of the parchment inside easily visible.

Tonks nodded to Moriarty: "Of all the letters sent to the castle, the most were for Headmaster Dumbledore, Mrs. Malfoy, and Mr. Weasley."

Dumbledore wanted to consult with Moriarty. It wasn't surprising that the Malfoy family, with their extensive connections and influence, knew about the Ventral vampires.

It's no surprise that Moriarty received the most letters from them.

To Moriarty’s surprise, Arthur Weasley also sent him a large number of letters.

Although Charlie was a member of the Hogwarts pure-blood army he had formed himself.

She also had a good relationship with Bill and the Weasley twins.

But Moriarty didn't think the Weasleys had sided with him.

The Weasley family is a pure-blood family in Dumbledore's camp, and they rarely interact with him.

Take Arthur for example. Moriarty only met him once at the Pureblood Party, and they haven't met again since.

Now that he's heard that Vantor has enrolled, Arthur has surprisingly contacted him, contrary to his usual behavior.

What did Arthur want to say to himself?

Moriarty took the envelope with skepticism, then took out the parchment and began to read.

"My name is Arthur Weasley, Mr. Slytherin."

What I'm about to say is a bit long, so please read it patiently, because it concerns the very survival of Hogwarts!

Moriarty frowned. He knew Arthur; he would never exaggerate.

In his letter, Arthur wrote that after learning that Ventra was a new student at Hogwarts, he felt that the name Ventra sounded familiar!

As a child, Arthur heard the name Ventura during a casual conversation between his parents, Septimius Weasley and Cedric Black.

They say the Dark Lord rules over all dark creatures! Including European vampires!

But except for Ventura!

Following Ventura were a string of names, which Arthur later learned were clan names.

They have a common name: vampires!

Unfortunately, Arthur couldn't remember what the clans following Ventura were.

Arthur said his parents were terrified of Vendra, apparently because even the Dark Lord dared not provoke Vendra!

Arthur hoped that Moriarty would not admit Ventura, because Moriarty was the only descendant of the four great masters of Hogwarts, and Moriarty had the right to refuse to admit students.

After reading the letter, Moriarty gained a better understanding of Vandro.

In other words, the Vantor vampires are terrifying.

Even Voldemort at his peak wouldn't dare provoke Vandro.

There are many vampires like Vantro, at least a dozen.

Vampires are the most powerful vampires.

The women I encountered before, such as Mrs. Kova, the old Jew, and Quinlan, were all ordinary vampires.

Although he holds a certain status, this is only in comparison to ordinary vampires. In terms of strength, Duke Quinlan might not be a match for a vampire viscount!

Thinking of the vampires flying with saints, Moriarty was certain of this.

At the same time, he also remembered that this was not the first time vampires had appeared; there were vampires in Dracula's resurrection.

Therefore, Dracula is also a member of the vampire clan. As the headless vampire progenitor, Dracula's status should not be low.

Furthermore, Dracula is also a member of the Immortal Organization!

In that case, could the vampires be connected to the Immortal Organization?

Moriarty, thinking of this, had the idea of ​​agreeing to let Vandro enroll.

"Before I make a decision, I'd like to hear Headmaster Dumbledore's opinion," Moriarty said, glancing at the crowd.

Lilith leaned against the wall and said calmly, "With so many wizards outside, news of your return must have spread like wildfire. If I'm not mistaken, the headmaster will find you."

A commotion outside the window confirmed Lilith's words.

"Look, it's Professor Dumbledore!"

"Headmaster Dumbledore!"

"Mr. Albus!"

The wizard in Diagon Alley called out respectfully.

Moriarty and the others exchanged glances, then walked downstairs and out of the bar together.

I saw Dumbledore wearing a loose white wizard's robe, walking down the street, constantly smiling at the wizards on the roadside, with a little girl beside him.

A short, shifty-eyed wizard followed behind Dumbledore, peeking and peering around.

"Mr. Moriarty is out!"

A wizard discovered Moriarty and his party.

"brush!"

A large number of wizards turned around, including Dumbledore. The moment he saw Moriarty, a look of joy flashed in his eyes, which then turned serious.

Moriarty saw Dumbledore bend down and gently say a few words to the little girl, who nodded.

"It's Autumn!" Penelope exclaimed suddenly. She looked the little girl closely and said to Moriarty in surprise, "She's my pen pal. We arranged to meet in Diagon Alley today, but why is she with Professor Dumbledore!"

秋？

Upon hearing the name, Moriarty took notice of the little girl, noticing her long, flowing black hair and the face of an oriental beauty.

This is Cho Chang, Harry Potter's first love in the original books.

This year is 1990. Cho Chang is one year older than Harry Potter and is enrolling in school this year.

In the original book, Cho Chang joins Ravenclaw and becomes friends with Penelope, the Ravenclaw prefect.

Now, thanks to her own actions, Penelope has become much stronger, but she and Zhang Qiu have still become pen pals.

Speaking of which, Zhang Qiu also taught Penelope how to play poker.

Without Penelope's suggestion, Hyprose herself would never have joined the strip poker game.

Recalling those erotic scenes, Moriarty's gaze towards Zhang Qiu immediately changed.

China also has many other fun games, such as strip mahjong...

No one noticed Moriarty's gaze. Dumbledore walked towards Moriarty, while the shifty-looking wizard led Cho Chang toward a shop.

"That man is Mundungus. He used to eat at my house. My mother doesn't really like him," Charlie said, somewhat worried about Cho Chang. "I really don't know why Headmaster Dumbledore would let your pen pal follow him. I think we should be careful."

Penelope was persuaded. "Moriarty, can I go find Cho? They've gone to Ollivanders Wand Shop. Cho is a freshman this year and she has a lot of things to buy."

Moriarty agreed, and Penelope left happily, taking Gemma with her as well.

Poor Gemma hadn't even said a word to Moriarty, and could only cast a tender glance at him as she left.

Unfortunately, Moriarty didn't see it; his attention was entirely focused on Dumbledore.

Old Deng looked a bit tired after a week apart; it seemed that the matter of Fan Zhuo's enrollment was really giving him a headache.

"Hello, kids!" Dumbledore greeted the young wizards with a smile, and was welcomed by them.

"Boys and girls, I think I need to borrow your 'husband' for a while. I have something to talk to him about."

Dumbledore smiled and looked at Moriarty.

Everyone knew that Dumbledore wanted to talk to Moriarty about Ventura, so they wisely stepped back and gave them some space.

The surrounding wizards shouted to Moriarty, "Mr. Moriarty, you must persuade Headmaster Dumbledore to stop the little vampire from enrolling!"

Dumbledore gave a wry smile upon hearing this. Moriarty glanced at him and lowered his voice, saying, "You support Ventura's admission?"

Dumbledore looked at Moriarty, and instead of answering directly, said, "Grab me, and I'll take you somewhere."

Without hesitation, Moriarty grabbed Dumbledore's sleeve. They were now in the "honeymoon period" of their cooperative relationship, and neither of them would harm the other.

"Snapped!"

The phantoms appeared, and the two disappeared.
