The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 553 Gamp's Fate, Darkness is Coming

After their conversation, Moriarty and Lilith both slept quite soundly.

The next morning, Moriarty was woken up by Marcus.

"Sir, Beauxbatons...is here."

Through the door, Moriarty heard a hint of anger in Marcus's respectful voice.

After quickly getting dressed and putting on the little tail, Moriarty and Violet opened the door and came out together.

"What happened?"

Moriarty asked questions as he walked toward the auditorium.

Marcus glanced cautiously at his young master. He had already met with Beauxbatons' team and was considering how to speak to Moriarty.

"The principal of Beauxbatons has changed..."

Marcus thought about it and decided to tell the truth, since Moriarty would see it for himself later.

Moriarty slowed his pace, but continued walking forward, something he had already guessed when he saw Mrs. Maxim appear at Hagrid's Cottage.

"Anything else?"

"The Gump family has become the biggest sponsor and partner of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry," Marcus said through gritted teeth. "That Gump himself has come!"

Moriarty's expression changed. Gampo is here?

He went to Hogwarts in person.

This is unexpected!

His expression shifted between light and dark as Gamp personally stepped onto the stage, as if sending a signal.

That is... if necessary, force can be used at Hogwarts!

War... seems to be getting closer and closer to Hogwarts.

Moriarty quickened his pace toward the auditorium, with Marcus and Violet following behind.

Violet, who usually dozes off, is now wide awake.

"Shall I summon a group of vampires?" Violet suggested, wanting to share some of the burden with Moriarty.

Marcus, fearing Moriarty might agree, quickly finished speaking: "And others have arrived too—the Ministers of Magic from France and England!"

"Two ministers?" Moriarty's cold snort rang out from ahead: "Heh, two puppets are really useful right now."

That was obviously sarcastic.

However, the Minister of Magic is, after all, the representative of official authority. With them around, unless things reach an irreversible point, it's best for vampires not to appear easily.

Upon entering the auditorium, everyone had arrived, with Moriarty and his two companions being the last group.

"teacher!"

"Moriarty is here!"

Jericho, Soldaya, and a handful of others stood up to greet Moriarty.

Many more people chose to cower in fear.

"What happened before I arrived?" Moriarty asked Lilith as he sat down.

"Fudge and Von Wee Cape have jointly issued a new educational decree," Lilith said solemnly. "Umbridge is granted the authority to punish any student from any of the three schools during the Triwizard Tournament, and Umbridge also has the authority to interfere in the classrooms of the three schools."

Moriarty glanced indifferently at the auditorium, which was much quieter than usual; he already knew the outcome.

"The school has agreed, right?"

"Yes," Lilith gripped Moriarty's arm tightly and said earnestly, "More than half of the Hogwarts Board of Governors representatives agreed, Hades and his faction at Durmstrang have announced their support, and the new headmaster Lancelot has expressed his opinion at Beauxbatons."

"Headmaster Dumbledore and Headmaster Grindelwald cannot hold the fort alone."

After Lilith finished speaking, Jericho growled angrily, "More than half of the students at Hogwarts chose to remain silent! What a bunch of spineless cowards!"

In his view, Moriarty single-handedly carried the banner of a new era for Hogwarts.

Both spiritual and magical powers have become symbols of Hogwarts.

Shouldn't everyone stand firmly on Moriarty's side at this moment?

But reality slapped Jericho hard in the face.

Soldaya and several of the older snakes sighed.

The only ones still on Moriarty's side now are the Hogwarts purebloods and Moriarty's partner.

They also know the reasons behind it.

It wasn't about faith, nor was it forced upon them by Gamp.

It's the family.

The children's parents chose Gamp.

Soldaya looked at Cedric at the Hufflepuff table with a pained expression.

The latter was one of the first Hogwarts students to announce their support after Fudge announced the new education decree.

This group of students also included Ralph, Pansy, and Daphne from Slytherin; Roger Davis from Ravenclaw; and Draco from Gryffindor…

Now, Larpo is also looking at Moriarty with a playful expression.

Gamp himself stepped down from behind the scenes to the forefront.

The situation suddenly turned around.

According to Ilarbo, Moriarty is now surrounded by enemies, and it's only a matter of time before he is abandoned by everyone.

Of course, Moriarty's individual abilities cannot be ignored.

In addition, Dumbledore, Grindelwald, and the professors of Hogwarts also formed a formidable force.

And Moriarty's supporters.

Larpo noted down all the students who had greeted Moriarty earlier.

Besides the well-known people, Larpo also saw a second-year Ravenclaw girl.

Hermione Granger seems to be the name...?

Larpo and Gamp investigated Moriarty but found no connection between Miss Granger and Moriarty.

Hermione's enthusiasm in opposing Fudge's new education decree was even greater than that of Moriarty's girlfriends.

Hermione's demeanor made the young hawks think she was possessed by Professor McGonagall, and even Abbott and Hannah couldn't hold her back.

That's outrageous.

Given Moriarty's womanizing nature, Larpo was afraid that some old female monster would be attracted to Moriarty and then come out to take him and Gamp down.

This possibility cannot be ruled out!

Lalpo wasn't a crazy person like Tom who didn't understand love; on the contrary, he clearly understood the power of love.

Fortunately, with Ralph's discerning eye, he recognized Hermione's talent, but that was all; she wasn't yet capable of overthrowing him.

If anyone could pose even the slightest threat to him.

Besides Moriarty, it's Dumbledore and Grindelwald.

These two old men…

Even Larpo admitted that the two old men working together could indeed pose a threat to him.

So Gamp arrived.

The appearance of Gamp also captivated the two old men.

If Dumbledore is a ray of sunshine, then Grindelwald is a ray of moonlight.

Gamp is like a dark cloud that blocks out the sun and the moon!

Larpo and Gamp, sitting on the professor's bench, exchanged a knowing glance, both seeing each other's smugness.

The outcome is decided!

At this moment, Gamp stood up, ready to say something.

Apart from Dumbledore and Grindelwald, who have been monitoring Gampe ever since he arrived.

No one noticed that Gamp had stood up—he was no taller than Umbridge.

"Knight Lancelot heard that Headmasters Dumbledore and Grindelwald were not satisfied with Ramsay Lestrange's abilities, so he specially invited me to evaluate you."

Gump glanced at the students from the three schools, where the new Beauxbatons students were sitting at the Ravenclaw table.

Last night's speech finally had an effect, with more than half of the Beauxbatons girls willing to accept Gamp.

Very few girls share the same views as Furong.

Ultimately, even wizards cannot escape the law that jealousy can distort a person beyond recognition.

Hibiscus's beauty was already the object of envy, and after she got a boyfriend, Moriarty, it made people even more envious and jealous.

Why should Furong get all the good things?

Oh, sorry, she also has Werewolf blood!

There are quite a few girls who harbor the ambition to trample on Furong in the three-way competition.

They warmly welcomed Gamp's words.

The applause spread from Beauxbatons to Durmstrang, and Hades clapped excitedly.

Next came Lionheart, who was beside Hades, leading the "Sword Society," and finally Lalpo, who clapped his hands lightly, and more and more snakes joined in.

Enthusiastic applause gradually filled the auditorium.

It's as if Gump is the headmaster of Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang!

"Looks like I'm the one chosen for the scoring," Gump said with a smile, a master of persuasion. "Headmaster Dumbledore, where is Quirinus Quirrell, the one you recommended?"

"If Principal Grindelwald has any wizards he would recommend, please let us know."

Gamp nodded to the two principals, displaying an elegant and aristocratic demeanor.

Knight Lancelot also stood up. As the new headmistress of Beauxbatons, she had the endorsement of the western governor of France, von Wiecapé, and sat down next to the other two headmistresses.

"Speaking of the selection of graders, Mr. Moriarty also recommended an excellent professor, Professor Diana, is that right?"

Knight Lancelot's voice was cold and clear, pointing directly at Moriarty!
