The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 574 Harry Potter Makes a Deal with the Devil

"So, in that case, we have all the information."

Moriarty's fist and palm collided, producing a clear sound.

The items on the long table were piled up into a small mountain.

"These things are all over the place, who knows what they're used for?" Lilith sat next to Moriarty, resting her chin on her hand, casually looking at the items she had painstakingly retrieved.

Violet added, "The information in the campfire was actually a star chart from the centaurs. It's not very useful to me, and I don't want to go again."

As she spoke, she yawned, feeling extremely tired after moving around for most of the day.

"Let me take a look." Penelope smiled and picked up the star chart; she was very interested in astronomy.

As Moriarty and the others were talking, Dumbledore entered the Great Hall, followed closely by Gump and other Ministry of Magic officials, who looked rather grim.

"Ah~" Dumbledore looked at the large pile of objects on the Slytherin table and said with a smile, "That's amazing, so fast—all the information has been gathered in just 10 hours."

"Then I think the game should end." Dumbledore emphasized, "The first and only person to pass the game is—Moriarty Slytherin!"

"Clap clap clap clap!" Lilith and the others clapped happily.

But then another discordant voice rang out: "Professor Dumbledore, isn't this announcement too arbitrary?" Gump said coldly.

"The game isn't over yet; other students are still able to complete it."

"No, Mr. Gump," Dumbledore said with a polite smile. "Some information is one-time use; once it's taken, there's no second chance."

Ministers Fouché and Capet exchanged a glance, their faces showing anger. Their men had been completely outmaneuvered in this game.

"it is good."

Only Gampo showed a warm smile.

"The ministry won't interfere with the selection of the three principals, but the Warriors' choice won't be finalized just like that, right?"

"That's right," Sir Lancelot replied immediately. Dumbledore did not refute him.

Gampo, satisfied with the definite answer, nodded and, with magnanimity, threw a celebration for Moriarty.

The atmosphere at the meeting was quite delicate, with many people harboring ulterior motives.

Moriarty noticed that Ralph hadn't appeared at all, and then he winked at Dumbledore.

After the celebration, Moriarty went to the principal's office.

Dumbledore and Grindelwald are enjoying sweets, and interestingly, Mrs. Maxime is also there.

Seeing Moriarty enter, Dumbledore said to him, "I have a feeling that Gamp can't hold back any longer."

Moriarty nodded with a smile: "This game disappointed Gamp. I bet he thought his men could get at least half the information through the game."

"But they didn't," Grindelwald asked hoarsely, "what magic did you use to scare Helbo away?"

"Let's keep it a mystery for now," Moriarty said casually. "Gamp has seen our power, and he won't wait any longer—he can't afford to wait any longer."

"So we'll fight them to the death?" Mrs. Maxim clenched her fists. She had been driven out of Beauxbatons and was the wizard who hated the Gump lineage the most among the four present.

"A decisive battle?" Moriarty pursed his lips. "It's not too late to talk about a decisive battle after we've found out who the Immortal Organization is."

"I am indeed at a disadvantage in this regard," Dumbledore said frankly. "We still do not know the full extent of the Immortal Organization's membership, and it remains a threat."

"But!" Dumbledore peeled a toffee for himself. "Hmm... sunflower seed flavor, I mean—we have more elemental artifacts than they do, don't we?"

"Wind and water," Dumbledore said, glancing at Moriarty and then at Grindelwald, "and fire!"

"Oh?" Moriarty asked with interest, "You mentioned Phoenix Nest to me before, and it's related to the sacred fire elemental artifact?"

"That's clever. Gellert and I are planning to go to Phoenix Nest."

"I happen to have some things to take care of," Moriarty's eyes gleamed. "I dare say Gump will definitely try to get us out of Hogwarts, this is a perfect opportunity to escape!"

Dumbledore and Grindelwald exchanged a glance and said in unison, "What do you want to do?"

"They're just looking for an excuse, so let's give them a handle to use against us." Moriarty's lips curled up.

at the same time.

The Gamp faction is also holding secret meetings.

Larpo was the first to speak.

"I believe you've seen it, and you know I wasn't wrong. We can't let Moriarty grow any further."

Lionheart, Hades, Knight Lancelot, and others were all astonished. They had long heard of Lalpo's great reputation, and Lalpo's subsequent performance proved that he deserved the title of "First Dark Wizard".

Before the game began, they were all full of confidence and looked forward to a fierce battle between Larpo and Moriarty.

But the result shocked everyone: Larpo was scared away by Moriarty!

No one doubted Larpo's strength, so they were even more curious about Moriarty—what kind of magic did he possess?

Of all these people, only Gamp remained expressionless.

After a few minutes of contemplation, Gump spoke up: "I understand, but I don't want a war to break out inside Hogwarts and drive them all out."

Most of the people here are Hogwarts graduates, and unless things get to the point of no return, no one wants to go to war with their alma mater.

Knowing this, Larpo shrugged in agreement. For thousands of years, Larpo had also had several Horcruxes studying at Hogwarts.

"Um..." Fudge said timidly, "What should we do? Moriarty and Dumbledore aren't careless people; they won't give anything away..."

Gamp pushed a photograph in front of Larpo.

The image above shows James Potter and Lily Potter.

"If there is no evidence, evidence can be fabricated; if there is no crime, a crime can be fabricated."

"If Harry Potter's greatest wish is to have his parents resurrected, it must be that they be resurrected."

"My people have been in contact with him, trying to get him to do things for us. I will fulfill his wishes."

Gamp spoke with confidence, having experienced too much and witnessed the wickedness of human nature, and firmly believed that fortresses are often breached from within.

Larpo gave a cruel smile, took the photo, and left.

He knew that Gamp's so-called resurrection was nothing more than a sacrifice using dark elemental magic.

Ganpu used this resurrection to control a large number of people, including his disciple Ye Jingyu.

It is foreseeable that once Harry cooperates with Gump, his parents will no longer be his parents after their resurrection.

"But he had no choice!"

Lalpo acted swiftly, finding Harry Potter that very night.

The two agreed to meet in the corridor leading from the basement to the auditorium.

Lalpo told Harry about the photos and the deal.

Faced with the temptation of family ties, Harry said with difficulty, "They'll be having a gathering at the Room of Requirement on Saturday."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and he leaned on the railing of the corridor, panting heavily.

The taste of betrayal is bitter. Harry closed his eyes.

"Them?" Larpo said with a laugh.

"Hogwarts Army"

"Oh," Lalpo sneered, "after Saturday, there will be no more Hogwarts Army! They will become stray dogs!"

"You want to kill them?" Harry exclaimed in shock.

"No," Ralpo said in a deep voice, "Killing is not allowed within Hogwarts."

Harry breathed a sigh of relief, only to see Ralph reveal a devilish smile: "But... who knows outside of Hogwarts."

Lalpo also had his own plan. Since Gamp wouldn't allow any action to be taken inside Hogwarts, he would kick Moriarty out first!

Just then, his basilisk arrived!

"Hiss~"

Larpo uttered eerie snake language, his body transforming into countless small snakes that slithered away at lightning speed.

Harry was stunned and felt a chill run down his spine.

"I think I made a deal with the devil..."
