The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 529 Luna was entrusted to Moriarty?

Xenophilius looked around his house.

She pursed her lips and said, "I want to make 'Singing a Different Tune' bigger and stronger."

Moriarty said, "Let me guess, your idea, in the end, is still about money."

Marcus opportunely said, "I can give you a lot of money."

"A sum of money enough to buy 10 Daily Prophet newspapers. A sum of money enough for you and your daughter to live a carefree life."

Moriarty placed a small leather bag on a wooden table.

The small bag looked very heavy, and it made a dull clattering sound as it fell.

It was filled with the wealth that Moriarty had stolen from Gampo's vault.

Xenophilius hurriedly stood up, not daring to look at the small bag of fortune.

"Mr. Moriarty."

You've misunderstood me.

"I'm helping you entirely out of a father's love for his daughter."

As he spoke, he glanced at Luna with concern.

"Luna is about to start school."

"Her personality resulted in her having very few friends; you could say she had no friends except for the Weasleys' youngest daughter from the neighboring hill."

"I'm worried she'll be ostracized at school."

"I hope you can help Luna at Hogwarts."

Xenophilius said earnestly, clasping his hands together and shaking them slightly.

Moriarty noticed the worry in his eyes for his daughter.

Luna inherited her looks and image from her mother.

His obsession with magical creatures and his self-absorbed personality are a replica of Xenophiulius in his youth.

Xenophilius, having been through similar experiences, knew that Luna was about to face exclusion and harassment from her classmates.

Luna is not a mean-spirited girl; she doesn't care what others do.

If Luna had Moriarty's help at this point, her situation would undoubtedly have been much better.

After thinking for a moment, Moriarty nodded slightly.

"It's a very simple little thing."

"Hogwarts should accept any young wizard with any talent."

"Luna isn't a crazy girl; she possesses a unique talent."

"I can assure you that as long as the Slytherin family remains at Hogwarts."

In conclusion, Moriarty was particularly solemn.

It's almost as good as a promise.

The Slytherin family now consists of only Moriarty.

But there were just too many Mrs. Slytherins!

More effort is needed.

That means you get more goods.

One can imagine that there will be more and more young wizards with the surname Slytherin in the future.

Luna and her descendants will also be protected after enrolling in the school.

Xenophilius didn't find anything wrong with it at all. Instead, he glanced at Luna with delight, who then peeked out from behind the typewriter.

She gazed silently at Moriarty.

"Thank you, Mr. Moriarty."

Xenophilius bowed and sat down.

This time, he sat down completely on the stool, displaying a bit of the air of a master, his face full of relaxation and joy.

"I'm entrusting Luna to you."

Xenophilius said happily.

Lilith's lips twitched slightly.

"Are you aware that the person you entrusted with this has had seven or eight girlfriends?"

Lilith never said those words aloud.

She was worried that Xenophilius would explode after hearing that.

The moment Lilith saw Luna, she thought Luna was a Ravenclaw.

Good guy.

Another Ravenclaw junior!

Start with Penelope.

Zhang Qiu is a junior student.

Hermione is a junior.

Luna is a junior from school.

This made Lilith think a lot.

While Lilith was lost in thought, Xenophirus made another request.

"Although you might laugh at me for saying this, I still have to say it."

Xenophilius stood there with his neck stiff, like a stubborn mule that no one could pull back.

"My other small request is with this Mr. Marcus—"

He stretched out his hands to Marcus, his eyes pleading.

"Shall we search for the Curved-Horned Snoring Beast together?"

Upon hearing "Curved-Horned Snoring Beast," Luna ran over as well.

Marcus's eyebrows twitched.

He turned to look at Moriarty, his expression suggesting he was trying hard to find an answer.

Lilith's lips curled into a wide smile, but she tried hard not to laugh out loud.

Moriarty showed no sign of mocking or agreeing at this point.

He simply asked, "Where do you think... the Curved-Horned Snoring Beast might appear?"

"Sweden!" Luna answered first. "Dad said they're in Sweden."

Xenophilius nodded vigorously.

"OK." Moriarty tapped the table with his finger. "There's still some time before school starts. If we can manage to interview Marcus before school starts, that would be great."

"Then I'll pay for your trip to Sweden myself, with Marcus accompanying you."

"Wow~" Luna jumped up happily, and Xenophilius was also excited. The two gave each other a high five.

"What are we waiting for? We can start now."

Xenophilius said to Marcus, "All that's left is to grab Marcus's arm."

"I'll leave this place to you."

Moriarty chuckled, patted Marcus on the shoulder, and then got up and left with Lilith.

That afternoon.

Xenophilius completed his interview with Marcus.

So the next morning.

As the wizards enjoyed their breakfast, they were pleasantly surprised to find that among the uniformly black Dumbledore newspapers, "The Quibbler" stood out.

Was the Sphinx an incarnation of an Egyptian pharaoh or a cursed wizard? Marcus Flint reveals the secret!

"Voldemort and Voldemort differ by only one letter, so why does one have a nose and the other doesn't? Let's hear what Marcus has to say!"

A Few Things About Marcus and the 213 Amazing Creatures He Raised!

……

The wizards discovered that the titles alone possessed a captivating curiosity that compelled them to read on.

Flipping through the table of contents, I found that the entire magazine repeatedly mentioned the name "Marcus"!

It was entirely Marcus's show!

But when people try reading it out of boredom, they can't help but be drawn in!

They found that Marcus's arguments were well-reasoned and made a lot of sense!

For example, in the story of the Sphinx, Marcus not only tells the story of this magical creature itself, but also popularizes all the magical animals in Egypt.

In an interview with Longhorn Water Serpent, Marcus suggested that the three major European wand makers could learn from American wands, thus giving wands an automatic warning function.

Then came the ground-lying bat.

When people realized it was just a bat, they applauded Marcus for his courage in mocking Voldemort.

Marcus's ideas about fantastical creatures like the three-headed dog and the three-headed snake are also very novel and eye-opening.

In just half a day, Marcus's name became a household name, and everyone was looking forward to the second episode of "Singing the Quibbles".

Under these circumstances, Xenophilius and Marcus intensified their collaboration, releasing seven issues in one go!

Each episode features new magical animals or creatures, ensuring a different one every week!

More and more people are beginning to compare Marcus to Newt Scamander.

Nobody cares about Dumbledore's scandals anymore.

On the contrary, tens of thousands of people requested that "Singing the Dissent" have a next episode.

Marcus's reputation has spread to Europe and America.

The last time such a grand occasion occurred was when Dumbledore was researching the 13 uses of dragon's blood.

The last time it appeared was when Newt Scamander's book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" was published.

This time, it was a huge success for Marcus and The Quibbler!

After reading all of Marcus's articles, old Pilivik spoke frankly to Gamp.

"Unless we bring Newt Scamander to fight Marcus."

"Or let our people discover that the blood of some creature has more than a dozen uses."

"I can't think of a way to stop Marcus."
