The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 369 Draco is lost! (Please subscribe)

early morning.

Moriarty woke up in Diana's arms.

The other girls, on the other hand, were well-behaved and sleeping soundly.

Suddenly, one of the little feet in Moriarty's hand twitched.

It's white and tender, small, and smells delicious.

Moriarty played with it with great delight.

"Violet, you're awake?"

Moriarty said with a smile.

"Mmm." Violet buried her head in the blanket shyly, completely losing her former demeanor as a vampire princess.

It really was Moriarty's hands...

But I can't leave...

"Haha," Moriarty laughed, turning his head to the other side, "Penelope, you're awake too?"

"I have class this morning, Professor Snape's Potions class."

Penelope got up, still wearing her wizard's robe, her face as red as the sunset clouds.

"Oh dear, I have one too."

"Oh no! Professor Flitwick's Charms class."

As if by prior arrangement, the girls opened their eyes one after another.

"Then let's go out."

Moriarty stood up, looking quite energetic. He had slept very well last night.

"There are still two days until the third round of the competition. Don't forget what I said."

He gave the instructions carefully, again and again.

Soon, everyone left the Room of Requirement.

To avoid attracting attention, the girls entered the auditorium in batches.

With Lilith on his left and Violet on his right, Moriarty walked toward the Slytherin table.

On the way, Lilith kept glancing at Moriarty.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Moriarty asked curiously.

Lilith bit her lower lip, hesitating to speak, her gaze towards Moriarty filled with worry.

Having been classmates with Moriarty for three years, Lilith knew very well the personality and strength of the wizard beside her.

In Athens, in France, in Canada.

Even though it was a new country, he felt as relaxed and at ease as if he were back home.

Eerie vampires, vicious black wizards.

No one can stop him, no one can hurt him.

No one could inspire such fear in Moriarty.

Lilith stroked the ring, determined that if anything unexpected happened, she would not listen to Moriarty's arrangements, and even if it was dangerous, she would die with Moriarty.

"Snapped!"

"Ouch..."

Lilith suddenly felt a tap on the top of her head. She raised her hand to rub her head and saw Moriarty's smiling eyes.

"What are you thinking about, huh?"

"You don't have confidence in me?"

Moriarty said calmly, "I noticed long ago that your magic had become strange; it was too cold, unlike that of a human."

"Human shapeshifting, especially transforming into a dangerous snake... is an extremely difficult thing in itself."

"When you achieve something, it becomes even more difficult to conceal your magic."

"Such strength is not enough to fight alongside me."

Moriarty shook his head and walked away. Lilith was a smart girl; these words would give her much to reflect on.

Violet followed behind him, looking sleepy.

Only Lilith remained stagnant.

Indeed, in the eyes of some powerful wizards.

The magic of wizards is different from the magic of magical creatures.

You can tell at a glance.

He enhanced his magic by using human transformation, but in doing so, he also exposed his own secret.

How can this be improved?

Lilith ate breakfast absentmindedly and went to the library to think about her problems.

Moriarty enjoyed his breakfast and slowly walked out of the hall to the outside of the castle.

He gazed at the Forbidden Forest and the Black Lake.

Hanyu Kafu's memory indicates that the third round of the competition took place outside the castle.

That means only the Forbidden Forest and Black Lake can be used as competition venues.

What exactly is the content of the competition?

As Moriarty was pondering, he suddenly heard a voice calling his name.

"Moriarty?"

"Moriarty!"

That sound…

It's Mrs. Malfoy!

Moriarty turned around and saw Mrs. Malfoy running towards him.

Before she could react, Madame Malfoy threw herself into Moriarty's arms.

"Waaah..."

Madame Malfoy hugged Moriarty tightly, as if afraid he would disappear.

"Waaah..."

Madame Malfoy was crying, and Moriarty was puzzled, but he had to comfort the grieving lady.

He gently patted Mrs. Malfoy's back, tenderly wiped away her tears, and lifted her delicate chin.

Moriarty said softly, "What is it, my lady?"

Lady Malfoy, her eyes brimming with tears, shook her head in anguish and said, "Moriarty...you must help me."

"Draco is missing!"

Moriarty's first thought was whether this was a prank by Draco, or whether Draco had gone too far to come home.

During the competition, Hogwarts prepared rooms specifically for Ministry of Magic officials and the twelve school board members.

They were also allowed to stay and spend the night inside the castle.

Of course, not many people stay in the castle; most go home after watching the game.

But the children of the school board members are different.

On the one hand, the children will be starting school next year; on the other hand, we don't need to worry about feeding them or giving them a bed.

So the children sometimes don't go home; they live next door to the Auror team led by Leon.

Moriarty thought that Draco simply didn't want to go home.

But seeing Mrs. Malfoy's tearful and heartbroken appearance, the words that came to his lips turned into words of comfort.

Mrs. Malfoy shook her head even more vigorously. "No, no, no, you don't understand. Draco is really missing!"

"Draco has been missing for two days!"

"At first I thought he was playing a prank, or that he was having a wild time with Pansy and Blaise."

"So I didn't think much of it when he didn't come home the first night."

"But, but..."

"Mrs. Parkinson and the others came to me and said that Pansy and the other children hadn't returned!"

"In the morning, we rushed to Draco's and the others' room."

"Two of Greengrass's children have been found unconscious. Besides them, all four children from the school board members' families are missing!"

Despair crossed Madame Malfoy's face as she clutched Moriarty's robe tightly.

He said sadly, "Moriarty, you know I wouldn't have come to you unless I was desperate."

"Draco has disappeared!"

"My child, he's really lost!"

"Waaah..."

Mrs. Malfoy buried her face in Moriarty's arms and wept bitterly.

Moriarty sighed. Madame Malfoy had done enough after Lucius's death.

Compared to Mrs. Zabini, who was also the wife of a deceased husband, Mrs. Malfoy was simply an angel.

But she was also a woman, and now that Draco had finally disappeared, Mrs. Malfoy could no longer hold on.

Moriarty's understanding of embracing Mrs. Malfoy.

He cupped his wife's face in his hands again, ignoring the tears on it, and pressed his lips to hers.

Mrs. Malfoy stopped crying immediately, her heart pounding wildly.

After a long while, Moriarty finally released his wife.

"Once this incident is over, let's move to Slytherin Castle."

Moriarty stroked Mrs. Malfoy's hair and cheeks with tenderness.

"Or, I could stay at Malfoy Manor."

"You need to have a man in your house."

"And that man can only be me."

Moriarty leaned in again, continuing until a silver thread appeared.

Mrs. Malfoy was overwhelmed with happiness and felt dizzy, as if she were floating on clouds.

Moriarty caught her in time, preventing her from losing her balance.

"Moriarty, are you serious?"

Mrs. Malfoy was filled with tension, fearing that what she had heard before was all an illusion.

She has lost too much; even if she can gain nothing more, she cannot afford to lose anything more.

Therefore, Mrs. Malfoy never dared to take that step.

Moriarty bridged the distance between them in an instant.

"Don't you believe me?" Moriarty said gently, "I will prove it with my actions."

He put his arm around Mrs. Malfoy. "Get ready to be Mrs. Slytherin."

"Mrs. Slytherin" seemed to possess an unparalleled magic; Mrs. Malfoy suddenly found it hard to breathe.

"Before that, I'll bring Draco back!"

Moriarty's voice was resolute and cold.

As the match began, another strange thing happened!
