The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 589 They Miss Him

"Dear Brother Moriarty, this is the 133rd letter I have written to you. I don't know when you will see it, but I will tell you everything that has happened here."

After that night, everything at Hogwarts changed.

Umbridge became the acting headmaster of Hogwarts, and Ramsay Lestrange became the headmaster Durmstrang.

With the support of Sir Lancelot, Headmaster of Beauxbatons, the three schools achieved unprecedented unity—or so they proclaimed—the English and French Ministries of Magic, birds of a feather flock together.

In reality, only a small number of students follow their arrangements, and of course, even among your most loyal followers, only a small number do so.

Most students maintained a conservative and neutral attitude and did not seem to listen to the three headmasters. However, Professors Dumbledore and Grindelwald seemed to exist only in their memories, and they never talked about them.

We often say in private that these students should all be sorted into Slytherin House; real Slytherin students aren't that prudent!

Yes, Larpo became the male student representative, and the pure-blood theory of the aristocracy has become rampant again.

What surprised us most was that Harry Potter, the savior on whom many people placed their hopes, also mentioned the Potter family.

Weasley's senior Percy suspects that Harry Potter was the snitch during the last Hogwarts Army class.

However, Percy had no evidence; he had recently been under pressure, and the Ministry of Magic had suspended his wizard insurance and peer support fund.

According to Ginny, the Ministry of Magic offered Percy a high salary, a job that would allow him to start working in a powerful department of the Ministry of Magic after graduation, and a promise that he would become a minister before he turned 30.

If Percy agrees, the business can continue, but then it will fall under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic.

Percy, the senior, said there was something fishy going on, but he didn't agree.

Besides him, Soldaya was also targeted. His Quidditch team, which he and Marcus played for, was ordered to disband—the same thing happened to all four House teams, and the House Cup was canceled.

Marcus and Durmstrang's Rolfscamander are always at odds, especially in the class on protecting magical creatures.

They were like two animal tamers; their suitcases looked like they contained an entire zoo.

Unfortunately, Hagrid was expelled, and his substitute teacher was Professor Wilmina Grapland, a respected professor. Hagrid was protected by his senior Marcus and is now at a dragon farm in Romania.

I heard that Rolf Scamander is pursuing Luna, his junior, but Luna is ignoring him.

This phenomenon also occurred in Gryffindor and Slytherin—Lionheart Pendragon and Astoria Greengrass.

The students were quite optimistic about the couple, but Astoria was always lukewarm towards Lionheart.

Lionheart's sword club expanded, and Harry Potter joined, becoming the vice president.

The winners of the Triwizard Tournament have not yet been announced, but the students have a good idea of ​​who they are.

The three heroes of Hogwarts: Ralph, Lionheart, and Harry Potter.

Durmstrang's three warriors: Hades, Rolfe, and a seventh-grader Black man.

All three of Beauxbatons' warriors are girls. Sister Fleur did not join them; she and Sister Gabriel usually stayed in the Ravenclaw Library.

Yes, each school has three warriors. I wonder what kind of mess the Triwizard Tournament will turn into. Professor McGonagall always says that.

Having discussed the changes in students, let me now tell you about the changes in professors.

Umbridge, that pink toad, has revealed her ugly side; now even those pureblood brats don't like her anymore.

She conducted detailed investigations into each professor, eager to uncover their past, and closely monitored every class!

She also graded the professors who taught her classes, and those who failed were expelled on the spot—that's how Sybil Trelawney, the professor of divination, was expelled.

Although I disliked Divination class, I still felt great sympathy for Sybil Trelawney, who was expelled from Hogwarts that very night and left homeless.

The professors, on the contrary, envied Professor Polly, saying that her decisive departure was the wisest choice, and Professor McGonagall was often so angry that she trembled.

Even Professor Snape was ostracized, but he still insisted on applying for the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, which earned him the praise of many people.

The size of a sheet of paper can never fully contain the words that express our longing for you, and there are so many things we want to share with you.

Your loyal little kitten Hermione, I can now conjure a cat tail, hee hee~

Brother Moriarty, we'll always be here for you!

After writing the last sentence, Hermione carefully folded the letter into a small square, making it look inconspicuous.

Then, holding it in her palm, Hermione ran out of the library.

After some searching, Hermione found the Weasley twins selling truancy pills to students.

Their methods were always secretive and swift, but to Hermione, who was practicing Animagus, it was like slow motion—after all, her Animagus was a cat.

"Next time you order goods, please forward this message to me."

During the transaction, Hermione tossed the letter to George Weasley.

George looked at the junior who was half a head shorter than him and couldn't help but feel a sense of awe for her.

After Moriarty, Lilith, and Jericho left, Hermione, with her leadership and eloquence, became the leader of their little group.

George still remembers that day. At first, everyone was persuaded by Hermione, but when faced with the provocation of Ralph's group of students, Hermione's choice was to fight back!

Marcus, Sordaya, Percy, Wood, and several other Hogwarts purebloods from the sixth and seventh years launched a counterattack.

It was difficult to fight against Ralph's faction, and even the three headmasters behind them, but Hermione did it.

Upon seeing them, most of the Hogwarts students chose to observe from the sidelines.

the reason is simple.

The nobility left by Moriarty still remains here!

The courage left behind by Dumbledore still remains here!

The rebellion left by Grindelwald still lingers here!

As long as Hermione and others are still around, people will remember Moriarty and understand that he will return sooner or later.

In this matter, Hermione did not heed Moriarty's advice to remain silent.

This is also why older students like Soldaya and Marcus respected Hermione.

Moriarty's publicly acknowledged girlfriends, Penelope, Cho Chang, and Fleur, are now silent. Although we understand their actions, they inevitably pale in comparison to Hermione.

At this moment, George felt both admiration and exasperation towards Hermione. He scratched his head and said, "This must be the 131st letter, right?"

"It's the 133rd letter," Hermione corrected without hesitation.

"Things are getting tense right now, boss," Fred said, acknowledging Hermione's position.

"We have fewer and fewer channels for sourcing goods, and we're being closely monitored," George added.

Since Moriarty left, their small group has only been able to contact the outside world through the Weasley twins' supply channels and Marcus's dragon farm.

As for why it couldn't be done through owls, the reason is simple: Umbridge would send people to check the mail of every owl, without exception.

The Weasley twins do business with Knockturn Alley, while Marcus is involved because the Triwizard Tournament needs magical creatures.

The Flint and Frey families have incredibly extensive connections, allowing them to infiltrate to some extent.

But Marcus has also been under Rolf's watchful eye lately, making things difficult for the Weasley twins as well.

"All right."

Hermione flicked her finger, and the small square letter jumped back into her palm as if it had a remote control.

Then he left without saying a word.

George shook his head as he watched Hermione's retreating figure. They had seen Hermione like this more than 100 times. Every time she couldn't send a letter, Hermione always looked so forlorn.

In less than an hour, she would be back to her old self and continue fighting those little brats!

"Sigh, he's deeply in love," Fred sighed beside him.

"Who can argue with that?"

George looked at his small bag, which he had enchanted with a Stretch Mark spell, and found it filled with letters Ginny had written to Moriarty. He shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Sir, please come back soon."

Fred let out a deep sigh, put away his little prank, and hurried away.

You're not the only one who thinks this way.

George thought to himself silently, then left.

If he hadn't believed Moriarty would definitely return, he would have considered leaving Hogwarts with Fred.

But Moriarty will always return, a fact that countless people firmly believe.
