The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 501 Dividing up the Ministry of Magic? I love it!

however.

Lilith miscalculated.

The Aurors failed to catch Barty Crouch Jr.

Rufus Scrimgeour let Barty Crouch Jr. get away!

Barty even managed to kill an Auror!

The attempt to apprehend the suspects ended in failure.

The Auror leader only captured one invisibility cloak.

When the news reached the Ministry of Magic, Fudge slammed his fist on the table in anger.

Leon made no attempt to mock Rufus Scrimgeour, saying that if Lockhart were in charge, he certainly wouldn't have let Barty escape.

Judge Wisengamo also had some reservations, as they were still preparing to try Barty Jr.

Now, the criminal has escaped!

"Little Barty..."

Dumbledore seemed to recall something and said with a touch of nostalgia.

"He was a truly excellent Slytherin; he passed all 12 of the OWLs."

"Scrimgeour must have underestimated his opponent," Dumbledore shook his head.

"Whatever Barty Jr. did, Director Rufus Scrimgeour is responsible for the Death Eaters escaping right under his nose."

Lilith swept her gaze over the wizards present with an air of authority; she was furious.

The trial of the Crouch family was Lilith's plan, but now the plan is stalled.

Lilith has not yet obtained the benefits she wanted to extract from Barty.

Even so, Lilith still tried to seize more benefits.

Her gaze fell heavily on Fudge.

"Minister, if the Auror's Office is not up to the task of hunting down Death Eaters, Justice Law is ready to serve you at any time."

A group of righteous legal professionals stood up.

Wearing suits, they are lawyers.

Take off their suits, and they are wizards.

That's perfectly reasonable.

Fudge said curtly, "Thank you for your kind offer, but I think Director Scrinker will give the public an explanation."

He stormed out in a huff.

How could he tolerate Lilith now trying to take advantage of the Aurors!

Just as Fudge was about to leave, Lilith said again, "Percy going to the International Department of Magical Cooperation for a holiday internship, is that alright, Minister?"

"..." Fudge paused, then gritted his teeth and said, "Of course, no problem. The ministry will approve the new director soon."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Fudge didn't want to stay in this place for another second.

Lilith smiled slightly, pursing her lips.

Percy's entry into the International Magical Cooperation Division was premeditated.

Internationally, the foundation and the Hogwarts Mutual Aid Society will surely achieve even greater development.

Lilith could imagine the day when Percy became the Director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation and Gemma became the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

Perhaps that will be the time when justice and law resound throughout the world.

"Let's go, this is the end of it."

At a single command, justice and the law withdrew from the courtroom one by one.

Outside, dusk was falling.

Lilith watched the sun set, filled with anticipation.

But when they arrived home...

Old Pilivik had already received the news.

Justus Pilivik, the head of the Pilivik family, served as the head of the Legal Enforcement Division for thirty years.

He angrily kicked Lilith out of the house!

Lilith swore she had never seen her grandfather so angry!

Lilith could hear his roar even through the gate.

"Do you know what the Crouch family means?"

"Why don't you think about why the Crouch family has an invisibility cloak!"

"Bang!"

Old Pilivik tossed out a thick book.

"Get out of the family!"

"My granddaughter is all grown up; I can't control her anymore!"

"From this moment forward, you are forbidden from setting foot in Pillivik Manor!"

"Get out! Get out now!"

"Boom!"

A sudden downpour began.

Raindrops pattered down, splashing onto Lilith's body and hair.

Lilith stared at her front door, half surprised and half bewildered.

Was I expelled?

The sudden expulsion left Lilith bewildered.

When she saw the large book thrown on the ground, her expression became complicated again.

Finally, Lilith picked up the big book and left in the rain.

In the Pilivik family home, on the third floor of the villa, old Pilivik watched Lilith's departing figure through the window.

Behind him stood Lilith's parents.

They said to old Pilivik, "Father, Lilith, she..."

"Don't try to persuade me anymore, this is the only thing I can do!"

Old Pilivik's face no longer held the anger he had shown before; instead, it was filled with worry.

"You must leave England now. Go to China, quickly! The sooner the better!"

"boom!"

A bolt of lightning struck, illuminating old Pilivik's desolate figure.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier.

The torrential rain did not dampen the cheerful atmosphere at Slytherin Castle.

A special guest was hosted at the dinner.

He is William Romer.

Jericho smiled and leaned in to toast William: "Professor William, welcome back."

William waved his hand: "Come on, I've never been a professor for more than a few days, have I?"

His injuries healed, but he could no longer be a professor—parents would not allow a wizard controlled by Voldemort to become their children's professor.

So William is now working for Moriarty.

Besides William and Jericho, Marcus and Soldaya were also present at the dinner.

Lockhart and Leon will be here soon; they are Moriarty's core team.

Ten minutes later, Lockhart returned with Leon, and they immediately described to Moriarty what had happened at the Ministry of Magic that day.

After listening, Moriarty seemed to be deep in thought.

He raised his wine glass and gently tapped the rim of it.

He could see through Lilith's thoughts to some extent.

Next, Lilith will promote Percy to the position of Director of the International Magical Cooperation Division and Gemma to the position of Director of the Legal Enforcement Division.

Now look at your own side.

Lockhart has become the Auror captain, and with Scrimgeour having made a mistake in the Barty Jr. incident, Lockhart now has a legitimate reason to succeed him as the Auror leader.

And Jericho.

With Jericho's Quidditch skills and the help of Director James of the Magical Congress of the United States, becoming the Director of Magical Sports should not be a problem.

Moriarty's plan was to promote Marcus to head of the Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures, if necessary.

Here's the breakdown.

Of the Ministry of Magic's eight main departments, five were divided up by Moriarty and Lilith!

There are 3 companies left.

They are: the Bureau of Mysteries.

Department of Magical Transportation.

Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters.

The Department of Magical Transportation manages Floo powder, Portkeys, and is responsible for Apparition testing. They are essentially salaried employees within the Ministry of Magic, with little real power.

The Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters has even less power; they are basically firefighters, going wherever there is a fire.

Arthur Weasley belongs to the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters.

On the contrary, it's the Bureau of Mysteries.

This director, Moriarty, was someone I had never met or heard of before.

Since the establishment of the Ministry of Magic, the Department of Mysteries, just like its name, has been shrouded in mystery.

After thinking for a moment, Moriarty said to Lockhart, "You need to be extra careful with Barty the Younger, this Death Eater. His strength is no less than Bellatrix's, and he has one of the best magical skills among the Death Eaters."

In the original story, Barty Jr. and Peter Pettigrew teamed up to defeat Moody.

Moody is an Auror who can take down more than 20 Death Eaters by himself.

Although there was an element of surprise attack, Peter Pettigrew's strength is negligible—unless he uses the magic that can blow up a street.

But clearly, Peter Pettigrew was useless, meaning that Barty the Younger almost single-handedly defeated Moody!

Now that Barty Jr. has escaped, Voldemort's power is bound to increase.

Moriarty still had a few words of advice for Lockhart.

Meanwhile, the Arctic Ocean.

Above the endless icy sea, a wisp of black smoke swiftly streaked across the sky.

Above the thick layer of ice, an Eskimo emerged from a round house made of ice.

He looked up and saw the black smoke flying towards him. The black smoke landed beside him and transformed into a man in black.

"Night." The Eskimo grinned.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he had discovered something.

"Night, you're missing an ear!"

The Eskimos circled the man in black, as if watching a monkey.

"snort."

The man in black, Ye Jingyu, pushed the Eskimo aside and said coldly, "Take me to the land of the aurora."

"Um?"

The Eskimo's eyes widened as if he had heard something terrible, his white eyeballs bulging out.

Are you sure?

At this moment, the Eskimos started using English, and their words became more solemn.

"Nonsense." Ye Jingyu looked extremely agitated, striding forward. "Take me there now."

"Do you know what that means?" The Eskimo remained motionless.

"I know! I know! I want to bring my teacher back to life!"

Ye Jingyu shouted excitedly, "We haven't found all the sacred relics yet, and we've lost the key! If we weren't driven to desperation, do you think I would want to revive my teacher ahead of schedule?"

"Look, look at my ears!"

Ye Jingyu pulled the Eskimo to his side and showed him the scar on his head.

"The Cain Brotherhood attacked me, and all my plans in Japan have been destroyed!"

"I'm all alone now! All thanks to the Vanjo vampires! And—"

"Moriarty!"

"Dumbledore!"

"The elves Diana and Vivian!"

"Lilith!"

Lockhart!

Ye Jingyu's face twisted as he uttered one name after another.

"I don't care anymore, I want them dead!"
