The mastermind behind Hogwarts

In August, Moriarty and Lilith survived no fewer than 30 assassination attempts in Wells, shocking the wizarding world.

The rulers of the Muggle and Wizarding regimes were furious and launched a joint investigation.

An investigation revealed that the assassin was a soldier in the Japanese army. This secret had already been made public within the Muggle regime. The United Nations questioned the Japanese regime about this matter, but the Japanese regime has been slow to respond.

Lockhart, who held absolute power within the magical regime, immediately took drastic measures:

The representative of the Japanese wizards at the International Wizarding Federation was forcibly detained. The wizard representative belonged to the Tokugawa family, one of the two major families in Japan, and he had no idea what had happened.

Lockhart, on behalf of the 10 magic schools, issued a warning to the Institute of Magic, but the Institute unilaterally cut off all communication with the outside world.

Now everyone knows that Japan is in trouble.

Considering that the second boss of the Immortal Organization, Ye Jingyu, was from Japan—once this was revealed, it's easy to imagine that the Immortal Organization, having nowhere else to go, most likely returned to Ye Jingyu's stronghold, which is Japan.

Upon learning of this intelligence, the five leaders of the Muggle regime quickly held a meeting. Given the nature of the Japanese, they unanimously believed that Japan was showing signs of world destruction and had already taken precautions.

Meanwhile, Lockhart is also thoroughly investigating the Grey Wizards' whereabouts to prevent their resurgence.

After the Leaky Cauldron, all of Gump's Ministry of Magic officials, pure-blood patriarchs, and Gump's personal grey wizards were wiped out. However, Lockhart was determined to sever Gump's ties with Europe and prevent the emergence of grey wizards.

So the Aurors from all countries thoroughly investigated the gray areas, with Knockturn Alley being the first target, and Tonks was appointed captain to oversee the London area.

London Heathrow Airport, August 3.

At 5:25 p.m., the flight from Wales to London arrived, and Moriarty and Lilith were spotted in the crowd.

As they stepped off the plane, Tonks rushed to greet them, and a group of Aurors quickly protected them.

After Moriarty and Tonks kissed, Moriarty laughed and said, "I feel a little embarrassed to be using public resources. Gamp wouldn't go so far as to come to London to assassinate me."

He was referring to elite Aurors, each possessing the strength of a Hogwarts professor. There were no more than 50 such Aurors in the entire Ministry of Magic.

Tonks didn't say anything. In her heart, the mission was of course not as important as Moriarty, so when she learned that Moriarty was returning today, she didn't hesitate to lead her team to welcome him.

"Have you found the Hufflepuff girl?" Tonks asked, not dwelling on the topic of greeting.

Of all Moriarty's women, Tonks was the busiest, but even with all that busyness, she never forgot Moriarty.

Meeting Tonks' expectant gaze, Moriarty shook his head slightly. Tonks encouraged him, saying, "It's alright. I'm also thoroughly investigating the Grey Wizards. Maybe we can find Gamp's weakness among them."

"It's not entirely without good news," Moriarty winked mischievously, "We might just have discovered the secret of the Blood Feast!"

"Huh? Really!" Tonks' beautiful eyes widened even more with curiosity. Moriarty's intrusion into the Immortal Organization's Blood Feast during his third year was the one that ignited the war between the two sides.

"It's hard to say whether it's true or not right now. I need to confirm with the Vantor vampires," Moriarty said as he walked.

Lilith waved her phone at Moriarty, "I've already messaged my sister Cappadocia; they're going home tonight."

"Ah, how did you convince the vampires to use Muggle technology?" Moriarty couldn't help but laugh at the thought of vampires using cell phones.

"It's precisely because we are vampires that we need to keep up with the times," Lilith said, seemingly unconcerned.

"Alright, send another message saying that I've invited Queen Ventura to my home."

"What are you doing? You've got your eye on her?"

A charming smile appeared in Tonks' eyes.

"Those who have personally experienced the Blood Feast will have a more convincing account of it."

The three talked as they set off for Slytherin Castle.

Outside the airport, a tall, white man with a large brown beard watched Moriarty and his two companions board the magic carriage and gradually disappear from sight.

A small green snake emerged from his shoulder, and he said to it, "Moriarty is returning to London, escorted by Aurors. I suspect Gamp's little trick has been discovered."

After he finished speaking, a bright light appeared on the green snake's body, and then it disappeared.

After doing all this, the bearded man blended effortlessly into the crowd.

……

Nighttime at Slytherin Castle.

The large, long dining table was once again filled with people.

From Moriarty down, Lilith, Tonks, Narcissa, Diana, Penelope, Fleur, Cho Chang, Gemma, and Hermione were seated in that order.

Compared to last time, this time there are three more beautiful vampires.

From the moment Violet saw Moriarty, she rushed into his arms like a fledgling returning to its nest, murmuring "Master brother."

Then he clung to Moriarty like a koala, not getting down until dinner time.

Cappadocia was much more reserved, sitting next to Queen Vandro.

"It is an honor for the Slytherin family that the Queen has come to my Slytherin Castle."

Moriarty raised his glass and smiled as he greeted Queen Ventau.

Bertha Vandro looked at Moriarty and couldn't help but think of what he had done with her daughter. A blush involuntarily rose to her cheeks, and she raised her glass in return.

"Our collaboration with the Horcruxes has made us acquaintances. Slytherin, please ask whatever you wish to ask."

Moriarty made no attempt to hide his intentions, staring directly at Queen Ventura: "I'd like to know, before the vampires participated in the Blood Feast, did they understand its history?"

Queen Ventura pondered for a moment: "Dracula told the 13 vampires that the Blood Feast increases our strength, but whether Dracula knew the history of the Blood Feast, we don't know."

"But one thing is certain: I don't know, and neither do the 13 vampires."

Moriarty nodded and asked, "So, what kind of tableware does the Immortal Organization use when they enjoy the blood feast?"

"Tableware?" Queen Vanjo was taken aback: "Ordinary tableware... Weren't you also at the Blood Feast? Ye Jingyu was using a set of ordinary tableware as well."

Moriarty nodded again. He had attended the Blood Feast in his third year and, as the Queen had said, the tableware was indeed ordinary. However, after Wells's visit, Moriarty changed his mind.

"Tell me what we found," Moriarty said, looking at Lilith on his left.

"We didn't find any trace of the Hufflepuff girl Yaso in Wells, but we did find traces of the Blood Feast," Lilith said solemnly.

"What?" Queen Ventura suddenly gripped her wine glass tightly. "The Blood Feast has never been held in Wales!"

"That speaks volumes." Moriarty's eyes flashed with a chilling light. "Besides, I also discovered traces of earth element in the ruins of the Blood Feast!"

"This speaks even more clearly!"

"I suspect that the earth elemental relic has fallen into the hands of the Immortal Organization, and that even the girl Yasuo is a member of the Immortal Organization!"

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning struck outside, followed by a thunderstorm, as if the earth had been struck by lightning.

Meanwhile, Mount Fuji in Japan.

Deep in the mountains, Gamp came before the light.

At this moment, the lower half of the light regained its physical form.

Seeing this, Gamp's triangular eyes lit up with joy, but unexpectedly, Light sighed, "Helpo has sent a message, listen—"

A small green snake emerged from the illusory body of light, uttering Larpo's voice: "Moriarty is returning to London, escorted by Aurors. I suspect Gamp's little trick has been discovered."

Gamp was taken aback, then sneered, "That scoundrel Larpo, has he remembered the organization now? What, he's been spying on Moriarty all along?"

"Helpo can't handle Moriarty, but his knowledge can still be used against Muggles," Light said casually, glossing over the escape.

"But you sent Japanese assassins to kill Moriarty..." Hikaru seemed to have suffered internal injuries, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "You don't care about the actions of Muggles, or rather, you wish you could take action against Muggles. Isn't that right, Minister?"

"That's right," Gamp admitted directly.

"Don't forget our original intention!" Light shouted. "I only wanted to fulfill the prophecy of immortality. Now it seems you have other ideas?"

"That's right!" Gamp shouted. "Before becoming gods, I'll make this world pay the price! Anyway, after we become gods, we can easily create a new world."

"OK~" Guang seemed to smile: "Then how about we do a global live broadcast of this blood banquet, Mr. Minister?"

As he spoke, a spoon fell out of the illusory body of light.

The spoon gleamed, its golden luster shimmering in the shadowy mountains!
