The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 662: The Story of Sixth Grade Begins

London.

Moriarty, Lilith, and Jericho disembarked from the plane one by one.

"It's 7 a.m. now. If we get to Hogwarts in an hour, we can still have breakfast with house-elves."

Lilith wrapped her long trench coat tighter around herself; it was still a bit chilly in autumn in England.

"I suddenly miss the cheese steak, chicken patties, and... magical food from school."

Lilith licked her lips like a kitten. Sometimes it's just like that. When she was studying at Hogwarts, she longed to travel and go on adventures with her sweetheart, but once she left school, she missed her school days.

Not to mention Lilith, a big fan of meat dishes. Sometimes only Hogwarts can satisfy her taste buds.

"A Taste of Hogwarts"

Lilith couldn't wait to go back to school.

"Boys, can you hurry up? Get your legs and feet moving!"

Lilith realized that no one was talking to her, and when she turned around, she found that she had walked quite a distance. Moriarty looked absent-minded, and Jericho was lagging behind, with dark circles under his eyes that showed his listlessness.

Lilith walked up to Moriarty first. "I bet you're thinking about Ms. Zhang Tianxue. Admit it, you can't forget her."

Moriarty was both surprised and unsurprised by Lilith's quick wit, and gave a slightly embarrassed smile: "Well, clever witch Lilith, do you have any way to let me see her again?"

Zhang Tianxue's Hanfu attire was elegant and graceful, exuding the aura of an empress and the grace of a fairy, often appearing in Moriarty's mind.

"I won the bet. You have to personally concoct a magical drink for me." Lilith beckoned with her index finger, her ten straight fingernails painted white, now looking incredibly alluring.

"My dear Lilith, why won't I let you suck your fingers?" Moriarty said glibly, holding Lilith's tender hand.

Lilith's face quickly turned red, but she didn't pull her hands away. She blinked her eyes and said, "Kunlun is a quiet place for cultivation, but the Time Administration is very busy. Your wish to see Ms. Zhang Tianxue can only be fulfilled in the multiverse."

"That's right, the multiverse! I'll have to go to the multiverse sooner or later." Moriarty's eyes lit up. Whether it was to defeat the light or to find Ishcher, he had to go to the multiverse.

And now there's another reason: to win over Zhang Tianxue.

"Then how can you be sure that Ms. Zhang Tianxue also wants to see you?" Lilith said with a smile, "What if she doesn't want to see you when you enter the multiverse?"

"She won't," Moriarty replied confidently, a satisfied smile on his face. "Didn't you hear her invitation to me? In that respect, she's the same as you."

"Hibiscus, Diana, Narcissa, Cho Chang... you are all the same."

Seeing Moriarty's shameless and self-serving attitude, Lilith was furious and shoved him.

"How dare you say that?"

"How many are there!"

Moriarty chuckled as he approached Lilith. "I promise I'll be the last one!"

"Hehe," Lilith chuckled ambiguously, her beautiful eyes filled with tenderness, "Do you think the pure-blood girls in Slytherin Castle can even leave? You can't let them go, and they don't have the guts to leave."

"Ah, that makes sense..."

"Hey, hey, feed..." Jericho's weak voice came from far behind, "Can't you take care of your poor friends? I haven't slept all night, unlike you guys who are nourished by love."

Moriarty and Lilith turned around and saw Jericho walking unsteadily, looking utterly dejected.

"Who told you not to get a proper rest last night? Instead, you went out to race cars, fight, drink, and go clubbing in the streets of Tokyo..."

Moriarty gave a long speech, and Jericho, upon learning that he was returning to Hogwarts today, went on a wild and unrestrained adventure before leaving, engaging in an activity every hour.

The consequence is that he had no energy this morning, and if no one was watching him, he probably would have fallen asleep on the plane.

"Let's go, I'll catch up on sleep when I get back to school."

Moriarty cast an illusion spell on the three, causing them to apparite and disappear.

Hogsmeade Village.

After a slight sonic boom, Moriarty and his two companions appeared.

Lilith took a breath and smiled. "You're back."

"I saw Hagrid and Marcus come out to greet us."

Moriarty waved slightly towards the distance, and a burly, giant-like wizard and an even taller half-giant responded in succession.

"Professor Dumbledore sent us to welcome the hero home."

"Please don't say that, I don't like being a hero." Moriarty and the other two walked over.

"Dude," Jericho clung to Marcus's back, "take my luggage and straight back to the dorm, right now!"

"He's injured?" Hagrid, usually so straightforward, was startled. "Take him to Madam Pomfrey."

"No need, he needs the God of Sleep." Moriarty patted Hagrid's hand and handed him and Lilith's luggage to Marcus.

"By the way, sir, Rolf Scamander has sent word that his grandfather, Newt Scamander, would like to meet you." Marcus slung Jericho over his shoulder and carried three suitcases.

Marcus was less than 100 meters from Hogwarts Castle and was about to head straight to the common room.

He fought Rolf Scamander twice. The first time was just a test, but the second time, with Luna's help, he completely defeated Rolf Scamander, which aroused his interest.

With Gamp's downfall, Newtscamander clearly no longer wanted to work with him.

"Let's talk about it later," Moriarty smiled, wanting to relax for a while.

"What's going on with the Magic Tower?"

Moriarty asked Hagrid because he saw the towering magic tower disappear, leaving behind traces of magic and fresh marks on the ground.

It was obvious that the magic tower had returned to the underground.

Hagrid rubbed his hands together: "Professor Dumbledore said that Hogwarts Castle was at the top of the Magic Tower, which would hinder the young wizards' movements. So, together with Professor Grindelwald, he moved the Magic Tower back underground, leaving a path open for it."

Moriarty nodded. Old Dumbledore knew there were secrets in the Magic Tower. Before the last two floors were opened, the Magic Tower was essentially Hogwarts' treasure.

"There's one more thing..." Hagrid thought for a moment and said, "Demstrong and Beauxbatons are leaving soon..."

"Considering the timeline, their stay at Hogwarts is definitely the longest in the history of magic," Lilith said. "After meeting you, they should head back."

The five people had already reached the gate.

"Squeak~"

Hagrid pushed open the door. "Please, our warrior."

Goodbye Hagrid, we'll come see you again after we've rested.

After saying goodbye to Hagrid, Moriarty and Lilith entered the castle together.

It's the same familiar auditorium, the same familiar ceiling.

"I've lived here for five years now, and this is my sixth year, but it still feels like the first time I've been here."

"I didn't feel this way before, maybe it's because I went through too much last year."

Lilith had some insights to share.

Moriarty slammed the door shut, announcing the start of his sixth year at Hogwarts.
