The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 429 The Death of Sirius (66)

Moriarty took Violet and the Princess back to his home that very night.

The words "We will never be apart for even a second" and Violet's tearful face touched Moriarty, softening his hardened heart.

Victoria, too, couldn't resist Violet's constant whispers and moved into Slytherin Castle with her.

The most important reason was that Moriarty secured the blood needed for the treatment of Vandro and her daughter.

Moreover, Victoria was worried about retaliation from Ye Jingyu against the blood processing plant, which is why she agreed, not because of Moriarty.

But Moriarty noticed that Victoria was looking at him strangely.

And there was something different in the way the princess looked at him after she woke up.

Moriarty, of course, had no idea that they had seen Violet feeding him the whole time.

……

In short, the little tail can follow Moriarty around again.

Violet was so excited she couldn't sleep.

However, Moriarty did not become obsessed with beautiful women.

A mysterious wizard, Ye Jingyu's revenge.

Like dark hands, they could reach out to him and those around him at any moment!

The Cain Brotherhood is going to Japan to cause trouble for Yoru Kageyu.

Ye Jingyu has encountered a formidable foe this time, so Moriarty is not worried about Ye Jingyu causing trouble again for the time being.

Only that group of mysterious wizards became Moriarty's biggest worry.

Moriarty has always regarded the European magical world as his own kingdom, and the mission of the mastermind behind the scenes also began here.

However, there is a group of rats roaming around Europe now, and if they are not found, they will become a major problem sooner or later!

Moriarty consulted many books in the collection, but still had no clue.

As dawn broke, Moriarty left his desk, walked to the window, and looked up at the sky.

The beauty of dawn is the slow transition from pale blue to sky blue.

A rainbow appeared; the sun was about to rise.

"Bang bang".

There was a knock on the door of the study, and Luke's voice came through: "Master, Professor Dumbledore has come to visit."

Moriarty looked away from the sky. Dumbledore had arrived.

Because the Vampire Clan of Vanjo was attacked?

Moriarty decided to meet with Dumbledore; maybe the old bee had some ideas.

"Please come into the lobby, I'll be right there."

Moriarty gave Luke a signal and went outside.

When they arrived at the castle hall, Dumbledore was already there. He sat on the sofa with a worried look on his face, and even the desserts in front of him looked unappetizing.

Moriarty pointed to a large pile of desserts on the table, including toffee, chocolate frog, and hazelnut honey cake.

"Headmaster? This was specially prepared for you. I wonder when your tastes changed?"

Dumbledore didn't even glance at the dessert; a sharp glint flashed in his azure eyes.

Sirius Black is dead.

Dumbledore spoke each word carefully, his lips pressed tightly together.

"What?!!"

Moriarty abruptly jumped up from his position leaning against the sofa back, leaning forward and staring intently at Dumbledore.

Sirius Black, is he dead?

The man had just escaped from Azkaban a week ago.

He hasn't found Peter Pettigrew yet.

The injustice has not been cleared.

I did not see my godson Harry Potter.

He died?

Sirius is a very good piece, and Moriarty has made many preparations to use him.

Everything hadn't even begun before Sirius died!

To be honest, Moriarty had never been so shocked.

Sirius Black has already contacted Dumbledore, waiting for the right opportunity to confront the Weasley family, and then turn Peter Pettigrew into Scabbers and capture him.

This is Sirius's plan.

Moriarty wasn't part of the plan, and Sirius didn't tell Dumbledore about Moriarty's trip to Azkaban and Black's ancestral home.

Therefore, Dumbledore did not know that Moriarty had met Sirius Black.

Seeing Moriarty's strong reaction, Dumbledore was also puzzled. He blinked and said, "Sirius has escaped from prison."

Upon hearing this, Moriarty knew that his behavior had aroused Dumbledore's suspicion, and immediately reacted with even greater shock than before.

"What???"

Sirius Black has escaped from prison!

"So, he was killed by an Auror?"

Dumbledore no longer doubted that Moriarty was unaware that Sirius had escaped from prison.

He solemnly recounted the events: "He wasn't killed by the Aurors. He died on a hillside near the Burrow, and the Weasley rats disappeared along with him."

The Humble Abode is the Weasley family’s nickname for their home. There are many hills around it, and Luna’s family lives on one of the hills not far away.

The Weasley twins, along with Charlie and Percy, were classmates who often talked to Moriarty. From them, Moriarty learned that the Weasley family had set up security in the vicinity.

An alarm will sound if a stranger approaches.

Sirius Black died near the hut?

Moriarty's first thought was that it was an inside job!

Furthermore, Dumbledore said that Scabbers the rat had disappeared, so it's possible that Peter Pettigrew killed Sirius Black!

Moriarty frowned slightly. With Sirius's magical abilities, even if he couldn't kill Peter Pettigrew, he wouldn't be killed in return.

It’s weird.

Seeing Moriarty deep in thought, Dumbledore revealed everything: "You should know about Sirius's defection to Azkaban, but the truth is..."

He explained to Moriarty the true circumstances that led to Harry Potter becoming an orphan.

Fearing Moriarty wouldn't believe him, he even produced newspapers that the Weasley family had photographed in Egypt.

"Look, Scabbers the mouse is missing a toe; he is Peter Pettigrew."

Moriarty looked at Dumbledore with feigned concern and said, "I've never met Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew, and I don't know anything about them, but I trust you. So, who killed Sirius Black? Was it Peter Pettigrew?"

Dumbledore sighed sadly, then said firmly, "Peter Pettigrew is not capable of killing Sirius Black."

"Sirius's body indicates that he was killed by the Avada Kedavra Curse! And he suffered horrific torture from the Cruciatus Curse before his death."

"I suspect that Sirius Black was killed by a dark wizard! His wand is also missing."

Moriarty realized that Sirius must have been attacked.

At the same time, he also remembered something else.

Is there any connection between the wizard who attacked the Ventura clan and the wizard who killed Sirius Black?

Moriarty immediately told Dumbledore about the attack on the Ventura clan.

Dumbledore was also taken aback when he heard this, as he had not yet received the news.

"The Vampire Clan of Vandro was attacked last night, and Sirius Black was also killed last night. The timing is indeed suspicious."

Dumbledore thought for a moment and said, "I will also send people to investigate the group of wizards who attacked the Ventura clan, and you should also send people to investigate the murderer of Sirius."

Moriarty nodded in agreement.

"And Harry Potter."

"Dumbledore said softly, his gaze deep," Dumbledore said.

"Since that person targeted Sirius Black, they could also target Harry."

"Harry's mother left him a protective spell that prevented Voldemort from harming him as long as Harry stayed at his aunt's house. This spell lasted until Harry came of age."

"But Harry will also be away from his aunt's house temporarily, and if Voldemort seizes this opportunity, Harry's situation will be very bad."

Hearing Dumbledore mention Harry reminded Moriarty of something.

"Harry's only enemy is Voldemort. What if the wizard who killed Sirius Black was a Death Eater?"

Moriarty's eyes were bright. There were some Death Eaters who had escaped, for example, Barty Crouch Jr., Barty Crouch's son, had not been imprisoned in Azkaban.

There's also the remnant soul of Voldemort in the Albanian forest.

However, Quirrell has already returned to Slytherin Castle with Victoria and is working under Moriarty.

Without Quirrell, it's questionable whether Voldemort could possess the back of a wizard's head.

After all, what idiot would go to Albania!
