The mastermind behind Hogwarts

"That's right, that's the power of light."

"But this is also the weakness of light!"

Moriarty's mind was racing, and images of parallel worlds flashed before his eyes.

"Once we confirm the identity of light, light in other worlds will be like rats in the street, hated and chased by everyone."

"My original intention in designing the magical AI was to open the Ravenclaw Tower levels," Moriarty said in a deep voice. "The last two tower levels must contain clues about light."

"Let's continue; I need more knowledge."

Zhang Tianxue reminded Moriarty, "Take care of your health. I don't want to date a man whose head is full of strange ideas. I came all the way across the ocean not for this."

Moriarty smiled and took Zhang Tianxue's hand: "After we're together, what should Zhang Qiu call you?"

"What are you thinking? You've learned so much about this world just to fill your head with bad ideas?"

"Would Zhang Qiu punish you like this?"

"No...no!"

"So, on the surface, we each act as our own people, but at home, we call each other sisters."

After Zhang Tianxue finished speaking, she released Moriarty.

"Ah~" Moriarty took a deep breath and blinked. "I'm alive!"

"Thanks to you, I feel much more energetic now."

"If this is the kind of energizing method you're looking for, Miss Zhang, please have a little more!"

After some playful fighting, Moriarty became even more energetic, and the Alchemy Matrix methodically recorded various kinds of knowledge from the parallel world.

This process lasted for three days and three nights.

Whenever Moriarty felt like giving up, Zhang Tianxue would use some little tricks to keep him going.

A bright light shimmered on the surface of the observation mirror, dazzling and brilliant.

Moriarty has already viewed all the parallel worlds in the observation mirror. The HP multiverse is infinite, but the Time and Space Administration cannot possibly record all the worlds in the entire multiverse.

"Having knowledge of these worlds as samples is sufficient."

Moriarty handed the mirror to Zhang Tianxue; the treasure had completed its mission.

"Have you noticed something?" Moriarty said with interest, "In parallel universes, almost everyone has countless versions of themselves, except for me!"

Is it possible that I am unique in the multiverse?

Zhang Tianxue nestled in Moriarty's arms, wrapped only in a thin blanket. She had been thoroughly tormented by Moriarty over the past three days.

Hearing Moriarty's words, Zhang Tianxue smiled and said, "You're only just realizing that? I noticed it a long time ago! Otherwise, why would I have started paying attention to you?"

"I think Hikaru must have noticed that as well."

"In the multiverse, there is a saying: only God is unique."

"If you ask me, you are the one destined to become a god." Zhang Tianxue stretched out her two jade-like arms and hooked them around Moriarty's neck from behind.

The two shared a deep kiss.

"The magical AI is almost complete. I'll finish the last piece of the map at Hogwarts. You go back to Slytherin Castle and wait for me."

As Moriarty packed his things, he gave Zhang Tianxue some instructions.

Zhang Tianxue agreed, and Slytherin Castle became lively again.

Ten minutes later, Moriarty and Zhang Tianxue parted ways, and Moriarty returned to Hogwarts.

Moriarty didn't have time to rest; the first thing he did upon returning to school was head straight for the alchemy classroom.

He had arranged to meet Professor Nicolas Flamel in the alchemy classroom to complete the final part.

"Professor, are you ready?"

As soon as Moriarty stepped into the classroom, he shouted impatiently, which was different from his usual calmness, but he was very excited.

"When have you ever seen me make a mistake?" Nicolas Flamel greeted him with a smile, his voice hoarse but his eyes bright.

Both of them looked exhausted, but their eyes shone brightly.

"I borrowed the 3D printer for you. I'm not bragging, but I have a very good relationship with those Muggle scientists."

Nicolas Flamel led Moriarty to the podium, where a printer was placed.

"Do you know how to operate it?"

"Watch me."

Moriarty skillfully used the 3D printer, and gradually, a skull was printed out.

Knowledge in parallel worlds is not just for show; some of these worlds have technology far surpassing that of Earth. Moriarty could easily acquire a mere 3D printer.

Given time, Moriarty could even improve 3D printing technology. But that's unnecessary now, because the core of the magical AI is magic itself; the skull is merely a vessel.

Moriarty picked up the skull, and the magic in his hand made it float up, flashing a faint blue light.

This is Moriarty pouring all the knowledge he had acquired throughout his life into the skull.

"Since it's Ravenclaw's wisdom, then let's use the blue light."

Moriarty used Ravenclaw's signature colors to color the magical AI.

"Next, let's proceed with the alchemy."

Nicolas Flamel and Moriarty were both masters of alchemy.

However, their alchemy methods are different.

Nicolas Flamel employed ancient, traditional methods, incorporating constellations, celestial phenomena, alchemical tools, time, magic circles, and so on, and these methods were put to use.

The entire classroom, as arranged by Nicolas Flamel, resembled an ancient altar.

Moriarty's approach was much simpler.

He has an alchemical matrix, which allows him to perform alchemy in his mind.

……

As time went by, the two alchemy masters completed the final part of the magical AI together.

"The magical AI is complete!"

Moriarty opened his eyes instantly. "Professor, I'm going to do what I need to do."

The skull, which had become a magical AI, flew up on its own; it knew why it was born.

Nicolas Flamel smiled and nodded at Moriarty, too exhausted to speak, but his eyes were full of spirit.

"Go, young people, take our work to influence the world, to change the world!"

Under the old man's watchful eye, Moriarty walked toward the Black Lake.

On the way, Moriarty met some classmates who didn't know what Moriarty was going to do, but were curious about why he had disappeared for several days.

Lilith was already waiting on the shore of Black Lake, holding the Sorting Hat in her hands.

"Are you alright?" Lilith looked Moriarty up and down, certain that she had never seen Moriarty so exhausted.

Even when Moriarty was playing with Narcissa, Diana, Violet, Penelope, Fleur, Cho Chang, Gemma, and Hermione, he never looked this grim.

"I'm still holding up, if you keep thinking nonsense I'll give you a good beating!"

Moriarty led Lilith toward the site where the Hogwarts Tower had sunk.

In the headmaster's office, Dumbledore looked at the two teenagers through the window, a flicker of envy crossing his mind, but it was quickly replaced by anticipation.

What have Ravenclaw and Gryffindor left us?

Professors Snape, McGonagall, Flitwick, and several other professors who knew the situation also turned their gazes toward Moriarty, leaving behind a sense of longing for the mysterious tower.

Moriarty led Lilith into the Black Lake. The water elemental magic made them unaffected by the lake water, allowing them to easily reach the keyhole on the tower level.

"Are you ready?"

"Alright, I am with you."

Moriarty and Lilith held hands, and Moriarty snapped his fingers, causing the magical AI to slowly fly toward the keyhole.

The skull's carrier fits perfectly into the keyhole.

As if hearing a crisp cracking sound, Moriarty and Lilith involuntarily widened their eyes.

Under their watchful eyes, a door appeared where the keyhole had been!
