The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 543 Entering School

Moriarty didn't even bother to glance at him; the answer was undoubtedly that a more powerful member of the Immortal Organization had saved him.

Larpo said this only to undermine Moriarty's confidence; Moriarty would not do as he wished.

"Enjoy these few precious moments of peace and quiet."

Moriarty stood up as he spoke, "Once we get to Hogwarts, I guarantee you'll laugh less and less."

He made a rare harsh statement, opened the door, and walked out of the private room.

No one can split Hogwarts.

This was a promise and determination made by Moriarty, a descendant of Slytherin.

The Immortal Organization has extended its reach into Hogwarts, and Moriarty will cut it off one by one!

Moriarty returned to his usual boardroom, where Lilith, Jericho, and others quickly surrounded him.

"Sir, what happened to Larpo?" Jericho asked. "Everyone saw that he changed his appearance; he doesn't seem like a wizard who can control that domineering aura."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Moriarty did not hide anything and told everyone about Herpo.

He then added, "It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Larpo now possesses all of humanity's knowledge and power; he is definitely my formidable rival."

Soldaya frowned and said, "Sir, could you have the twelve school board members and the headmaster work together to expel Halberd? Strictly speaking, Halberd is not a student of Hogwarts."

After Selwyn's death, Soldaya inherited the Selwyn family, and the power of the school board also fell into Soldaya's hands.

His idea was met with approval, as there were many children from the school board members in the private room.

Moriarty rejected Sordaya's proposal, saying, "Hogwarts has no precedent for expelling students. The four founders' philosophy is to teach all students regardless of their background. If a wizard is expelled simply because he used dark magic, people will only say that Hogwarts is stingy."

"It's more realistic to think about how Larpo will try to rival us." Lilith crossed her arms, her eyes cold.

She has been dreaming of becoming a prefect alongside Moriarty for five years.

Lilith eagerly awaited the arrival of fifth grade, and couldn't wait to enjoy the envious and jealous looks from the young wizards as she and Moriarty became a couple.

However, Larpo appeared and snatched the position of prefect.

Lilith was seething with anger!

Many people looked at Lilith, waiting for her to continue.

"I heard that Fudge intends to restart the Goblet of Fire," Lilith explained. "That means the Triwizard Tournament will resume—each school can only have one champion."

"If Ralph becomes a champion at Hogwarts, you can imagine what he and his followers will do."

Lilith looked at Moriarty.

She never doubted Moriarty's wisdom and ability.

But Moriarty has to face both Larpo and Gampo at the same time!

"We need to be mentally prepared," Lilith said solemnly, glancing back at Jericho and the others.

The atmosphere in the private room was heavy, and everyone's eyes were focused on Moriarty.

"Everything is just as Lilith said," Moriarty said in a friendly tone.

"Gamp is promoting Larpo and is even willing to revive the three-way championship, so I'll beat him in the match!"

Moriarty's attitude was resolute and unwavering.

"From the moment we entered Hogwarts Castle, Ralpo and I entered the race to become champions."

"Don't worry, everyone, I will stand out."

"I have never failed before, and this time will be no exception."

With Moriarty's statement, the box returned to its usual cheerful atmosphere.

Meanwhile, in Larpo's box.

The air seemed to freeze.

Most of the students who followed Larpo were in the lower grades. Under Larpo's imposing presence, they were like cicadas in winter, not daring to utter a sound.

Draco, Daphne, and Keith, among others, had never seen Lalpo in action, but they had witnessed Moriarty's power firsthand.

Since Larpo didn't speak, they didn't bother to say anything either, and quietly waited for the train to pull into the station.

The young wizards on the train seemed to be influenced by both sides, becoming quiet and withdrawn.

In the last box, Harry sat alone, holding a letter from Fudge, his face filled with conflict.

As evening fell, the train pulled into the station. The senior students boarded Night Qira's carriage, while the freshmen followed Hagrid across the river to Hogwarts.

Moriarty and his party walked at the back of the crowd and entered the castle.

The foyer was bathed in the red glow of torches, and the auditorium behind it was filled with four long college dining tables, as always.

Candles floated above the dining table, illuminating the excited faces of the students. They chatted animatedly, exchanging news and interesting stories from their summer vacation.

Hogwarts is like a utopia from a fairy tale.

No matter what happened before, once you arrive at Hogwarts, all your troubles and misfortunes seem to disappear, leaving only laughter and joy.

Dumbledore and all the professors sat in the professors' chair. Old Dumbledore looked at the students with a smile, and there was an empty seat next to him.

Moriarty noticed that whenever he walked by, people would huddle together and whisper among themselves, but when they felt Moriarty's gaze, they would try to pretend they didn't see him and were indifferent.

"Ignore these fence-sitters," Lilith whispered beside him. "They're brainless."

Moriarty couldn't help but smile, and habitually walked to the top of the Slytherin table—the seat representing the head of the table.

Since the second year, that seat had belonged to Moriarty, the only head of Hogwarts in history, standing like a throne in the Great Hall, unmoved for three years.

Lilith, Jericho, Marcus, and Soldaya sat on either side of Moriarty.

The Weasley twins separated from the snake after entering the Great Hall, as did the older Badger and Eagle, who went to their respective house tables.

During the event, the twins put their arms around each other's shoulders and greeted the little lion with laughter. When they passed Harry, who was walking with his head down, they even patted Harry on the shoulder.

Everything proceeded smoothly, just like in previous years, until Larpo entered with his men.

Whether or not they had received word of the situation, everyone started whispering among themselves.

Larbor immediately became the focus.

His group also came under scrutiny.

Draco was clearly enjoying himself, walking forward with his head held high, until he got close to the Slytherin table before remembering that he was a Gryffindor and hurriedly made his way to the Gryphon table.

After sitting down, Oliver Wood patted Draco on the shoulder with such force that Draco felt as if his shoulder was about to be broken.

Wood asked, exasperated, "What are you trying to do? Are you crazy? Going against Mr. Moriarty with that green-haired guy?"

Draco looked at Wood with some surprise. He thought Wood was a staunch anti-Slytherin, since Wood dreamed of defeating the Slytherin Quidditch team.

But he had no idea that Wood had also received guidance and favors from Moriarty.

Perhaps sensing Draco's confusion, Wood sighed: "Respecting Mr. Moriarty doesn't conflict with beating the Slytherin Quidditch team! You understand?"

Wood didn't know if Draco understood, because a commotion broke out on the Snake Headmaster's desk.

Everyone looked over.

Larpo set up another seat at the other end of the Snake Head's table, opposite Moriarty, and sat down without hesitation!

A gaze exchanged with Moriarty across the distance!

Now the little snakes all glared angrily at Larpo.

Slytherin has no two First Masters!

Hogwarts doesn't need two representatives!

Dumbledore and the professors also frowned; Ralph's behavior was as if he were causing a rift.

However, Larpo remained completely unfazed, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

He saw no one else but Moriarty.

Then Ralph glanced up at Dumbledore, whose icy blue eyes were also fixed on him.

The two looked at each other, and Ralph noticed that Dumbledore had changed.

Lalpo couldn't quite put his finger on the difference, but he was certain that Dumbledore possessed signs of elemental magic.

That feeling was familiar to Larpo; he had lived longer than Nicolas Flamel and was practically a living fossil among wizards.

A few seconds later, the door to the hall opened, and a long line of freshmen walked in, led by Professor McGonagall.

Moriarty sees Luna and Astoria in the newborn.

Astoria was in front of Luna, and she also saw Moriarty and winked.

Luna, on the other hand, seemed lost in thought, smiling as she gazed up at the magical ceiling of Hogwarts.

The talking in the auditorium gradually subsided, and Professor McGonagall brought out the Sorting Hat.

The entire school held its breath and waited.
