The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 328 The Shadow Exposed and Karkaroff's Scheme

The appearance of the arm seemed to create a barrier, eliminating the magical effect of the Oblivion Curse. Lockhart immediately panicked, realizing that his most relied-upon method had failed!

This is it.

He'll be killed by this little vampire.

However, Violet did not cast any magic.

The appearance of the arm seemed to have consumed all of Violet's magic power.

She closed her eyes, her body trembled slightly, swayed a few times, and then, to everyone's astonishment, fell forward!

A human-like expression appeared on the shadowy figure behind Violet—a gentle, maternal tenderness.

With a gentle lift of his arm, he caught Violet and held her in his arms.

"Wizard, go find Moriarty. Heal my daughter's wounds."

The red lips on the shadow spoke, their voice ethereal yet dignified.

But this scene was extremely strange, and the students below dared not breathe.

Lockhart steadied himself and stammered, "My...my daughter?"

"female?"

"Is Vanjo a girl?"

"Merlin!"

The students snapped out of their daze, their mouths agape as they stared blankly at Violet.

Even with Merlin's wisdom, they could never have imagined that their fellow Slytherin first-year students were actually girls disguised as boys!

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, the shadowy figure got angry.

A pair of eyes appeared, staring at the wizard, their sharp gaze like piercing light, illuminating the entire classroom.

Lockhart's heart pounded; those eyes were exactly the same as Violet's golden pupils.

Everyone was stunned.

Only one sentence remained in my mind:

"wizard."

"Go find Moriarty."

"Heal my daughter's wounds."

The sound, like the resounding toll of a bell, echoed in everyone's heart.

People took action.

Lockhart conjured a stretcher and used a levitation spell to place Violet on it. By then, the shadow had dissipated, and several students lifted the stretcher and ran out quickly.

Lockhart gritted his teeth and followed.

Vanjo is a girl!

The shadowy figure behind Vandro might be her mother!

The young master must be informed of this matter as soon as possible!

Two minutes later, the door to the arithmetic and divination classroom on the third floor was pushed open.

A small snake rushed in, shouting frantically, "Sir? Sir! Please save Vantro!"

Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, another group of people rushed in, carrying a stretcher on which Violet seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

"quick!"

"Sir! Please save Vancho!"

They started shouting all at once, and anyone who didn't know better would think they were blood relatives of vampires.

Lockhart, who followed behind, turned deathly pale; this was a form of psychological suggestion.

The psychological suggestion created by the shadowy figure was too powerful; these students were unknowingly imprinted with the mark of protecting Vantor.

Upon seeing this scene, Moriarty frowned slightly and shouted, "Get out of the way."

The students quickly made way for Moriarty, who walked to the stretcher and checked Violet's condition.

"Insufficient mental strength, excessive use of magic."

Moriarty made his judgment, glancing disapprovingly at the first-year students, as if to say, "How did things get like this!"

The students looked innocent. Moriarty turned his inquiring gaze to Lockhart, who managed a wry smile.

Young master, I think you'll be very surprised to hear this...

Moriarty understood and began treating Violet first. He exchanged a medium-sized mana restoration potion and a mana-replenishing potion he had brewed himself from the system shop.

However, Violet fell into a deep coma and could not drink anything. She could only drink if someone fed her mouth-to-mouth.

Without a word, Moriarty swallowed the potion, then leaned down and pressed his lips to Violet's.

"Ton ton ton~"

Moriarty fed the potion to Violet mouthful by mouthful.

"Wow!"

"Merlin's underwear!"

"No! My eyes!"

Third-grade students in the vicinity exclaimed that it was an eyesore.

In their eyes, Vantor is a boy!

But the first-year students thought it was normal, and they all gave each other knowing smiles. Seeing how decisively the teacher fed Xiao Fanzhuo his medicine, it seemed like there was something going on between them.

So he immediately went to clarify things for Violet.

"Let me tell you, Vanjo is a girl."

"That's right, her mother admitted it herself!"

The third-year students were shocked once again.

Since the Divination and Arithmetic class was taught together by Slytherins and Hufflepuffs, there were a lot of badgers, and the shouts in the classroom at that moment could practically pierce the roof!

"Is Vandro a girl?"

"Moriarty gave her medication!"

"Aren't the two of them... no, my Moriarty!"

Countless girls' hearts have been broken.

Lilith covered her forehead with her right hand, biting her lower lip, her feelings extremely complicated.

Judging from Moriarty's concerned expression, it seems they've been waiting for this for quite some time.

Lilith had initially said that this year's freshmen were not competitive, and although Cho Chang of Ravenclaw had a bit of a crush on Moriarty, she didn't seem like a scheming girl, so she could save herself some trouble.

To my surprise, Vanjo was a girl!

On the other side, Jericho, in an attempt to distance himself from Slytherin, sat in a corner, looking equally shocked.

Even the best disguise can't be kept up when you learn of such important news.

Jericho smiled wryly to himself; Ventura had really disrupted many of his plans.

The professor for this class is Setima Victor, a witch who wears a pointed hat, and what is happening today is something she has never seen in her forty-plus years of life.

The professor stared blankly, not even noticing Moriarty picking up Violet and leaving.

The person in question left, and the young wizards dispersed, but the news of Violet's identity had already spread.

That evening, Lockhart quietly went to Moriarty's bedroom and told him exactly what had happened.

After listening to Lockhart's account, Moriarty knew that he really couldn't blame Lockhart.

He glanced at Violet, who was fast asleep in bed, and of course, he couldn't blame her.

Violet's mother, the powerful vampire Bertha Ventura, used magical magic to attach herself to Violet's back.

I want to be with Violet every day!

Who would have thought of that?

Surprised, Moriarty thought about what had happened between him and Violet.

Doesn't that mean that the princess had seen his punishment of Violet?

The princess's wife really has a good eye for beauty.

The vampires' thoughts are truly incomprehensible.

and many more!

Something is wrong!

Moriarty suddenly remembered that Violet always seemed hesitant to speak about her parents, and now, thinking about it carefully…

Violet's masochistic tendencies are inherited from her mother!

Ah this...

Why am I getting more and more excited?

Moriarty shook his head, dismissing some thoughts; the Princess's appearance at this juncture was not a pleasant thing.

If Violet entered Hogwarts to teach Lockhart and the wizards a lesson, what was the Princess's purpose in following her in?

There seems to be no clue at the moment. Moriarty felt that once he figured this out, the vampires were no longer a threat, and he could focus on dealing with the magic institute and the Japanese boss.

"Hmm~"

Violet turned over, as if she had woken up, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

Lockhart turned to say goodbye to Moriarty, saying before leaving that the professors had already begun grading.

Karkaroff didn't want Moriarty to compete, fearing he would win, so he gave Moriarty a lower score than the others.

Moriarty sneered. Karkaroff, typical small fry. He doesn't even need to lift a finger; Death will take him sooner or later.

Violet woke up at this moment, and seemed to know everything that had happened while she was unconscious. It's possible that the Princess told her?

Moriarty chuckled, and Violet blushed and shrank back under the covers.

……

The next morning, Moriarty took Violet to the Slytherin table for breakfast.

The young wizards were buzzing with discussion, and the relationship between the two became a hot topic of conversation.

Jericho, sitting at the fifth long table, thought with a touch of helplessness: yesterday he was the talk of the school, but today the news has shifted to Moriarty and Vandro.

That's good, because the uncertainty of such events happening anytime and anywhere should make that person lower their guard.

While discreetly observing the purple-haired man, Hanyu Kafu, on the professor's bench, Jericho subtly distanced himself from the twin-tailed man who leaned close to him.

"Anada~ Come eat some sushi~ Ah~"

"Mmm, it's delicious."

Jericho smiled on the outside, but was cursing inwardly.

"Moriarty, do you know how much I sacrificed!" Jericho roared inwardly.

Moriarty found the young wizards' gossip annoying and snapped, "Talking behind people's backs is unsportsmanlike! Where has all the manners I taught you gone? Shouldn't you all be focusing on improving your skills and preparing for the Five Schools League?"

The young wizards changed the subject and returned to their previous serious and tense state.

Seeing this, Professor Hanyu Kafu, sitting on the professor's desk, smiled slightly at Professor Dumbledore: "He has a very high status among the students."

Dumbledore smiled with satisfaction and relief: "Moriarty is a descendant of Slytherin; he has brought a spirit to the castle and to these children."

Several principals were intrigued and asked what it was.

"I think you'll see," Dumbledore said, bringing his glass to his lips and taking a mysterious sip. Then, feigning surprise, he exclaimed, "Oh, who poisoned my butterbeer? It tastes like booger!"

Well, isn't this just bullying people?

Karkaroff's face darkened, Mrs. Maxim smiled helplessly, Dawn found it quite amusing and laughed heartily, while Hanyu Kafu looked thoughtful with a mysterious smile on his lips.

The other professors also had different expressions. Lockhart noticed that Genya's gaze towards Moriarty was somewhat fiery, like the look of someone who has spotted prey.

Lockhart was about to test the waters when he heard Karkaroff's sarcastic voice.

"Your Excellency Headmaster Dumbledore, are you so certain that Moriarty will participate?"

Karkaroff felt he had lost face because of Dumbledore's words, and now he was determined to get his revenge.

"Mr. Moriarty is the most qualified student to participate!"

Principal Dawn said firmly, exchanging an affirmative look with Lockhart.

Karkarov scoffed lightly, "Tch, American, who doesn't know you were full of praise for Moriarty during the World Cup?"

However, there is more than one person here who doesn't want Moriarty to participate!

"Dear Mrs. Maxim, do you think Moriarty is capable of competing?"

Karkaroff asked with a sinister smile, replacing "will" with "can," essentially asking, "Will you let Moriarty participate?"

Professors have the right to grade students, but the five principals are the final decision-makers.

This is also a form of fairness.

Otherwise, what if the professors grading students are all Hogwarts professors and they show favoritism?

Moriarty is too strong. With him around, the other students can't see any hope of victory!

Karkaroff intentionally brought in Mrs. Maxim and Kafu Hanyu, preventing Moriarty from competing!

Although Moriarty's grades and abilities have all reached S-level, or even SS or SSS!

However, we won't give Moriarty an S grade; we'll only give him a B grade.

Even if Dumbledore and Dawn both get S, it's still three against two, what can we do?

Karkaroff smiled sinisterly, knowing that Madame Maxim would surely understand his thoughts and agree with them.

Sure enough, after thinking for a while, Mrs. Maxim said in a deep voice, "Indeed, Moriarty's individual combat ability is very strong, but we cannot forget what the Five Schools League tests. Victory cannot be achieved by magic alone."

Her words revealed her intention to prevent Moriarty from participating in the competition!

Dumbledore and Dawn both frowned. Mrs. Maxime's fairness was recognized by countries in Europe and America. What's going on now?

Madame Maxime lowered her eyes. "I'm sorry, my friends. I'm sorry, Fleur. Moriarty is too strong. He can't compete or win. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to the pure-blooded families of France."

Moriarty and the French purebreds clashed twice in secret, both times ending in defeat for the French purebreds.

It can be said that Moriarty gave the pure-blooded French a severe slap in the face.

Madame Maxime was not of pure blood, and she had endured countless hardships and devoted immense effort to becoming the headmaster of Beauxbatons. The entanglements were too deep for her to ignore the thoughts of the French pure blood.

With that thought in mind, Dumbledore couldn't blame Mrs. Maxime anymore.

The good news is that Yuzuru Kafu hasn't commented yet, so it's a two-on-two situation and his opinion is very important.

Karkarov also turned his attention to Hanyu Kafu. If Hanyu Kafu stood on his side, the championship might just be Demsstrong's!

Nearly 4000 words in, a conspiracy against Moriarty begins. Here's a long chapter for you all. Have a great weekend!
