The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Then they saw the man in the lead.

He had a handsome face, a short blond haircut, and was about 18 years old. He had a strong gaze and walked with a decisive and efficient stride.

The wizards around him stood tall and proud, exuding a powerful aura.

Seeing this, the Muggles on the dock instinctively made way for them, but after the group passed, the Muggles showed gloomy, angry, and disgusted expressions.

But no one dared to speak.

A look of envy appeared in the eyes of Wizard Black.

"Wow," Jericho exclaimed, "He has the same taste as me: to judge a man's handsomeness, you just need to see if he dares to have a buzz cut!"

Jericho said, chuckling as he stroked his short, three-inch hair, looking quite proud.

Lilith pushed him away: "Get out of here!"

She hurriedly tidied her long hair, creating bangs to cover half of her face.

Moriarty chuckled, for the man was none other than Lilith's grandfather, Justus Pilivik.

Lilith had considered that going back to 1707 might allow her to meet her grandfather, but she never imagined that they would meet in this way.

What was even more unexpected was that Justus Pilivik had just come of age at this time, about the same age as Moriarty and Lilith.

Justus Pilivik looked up and gazed at the Black Onyx.

"Congratulations, Minister! You've brought back the carcass of the Kraken for England!"

"This will be a gift you give to the wizards after you are crowned minister."

"Perfect."

As Justus spoke, he drew his wand and chanted a spell over the sea monster's corpse on the ship. The sea monster's corpse slowly floated to the flying dock.

Several gray wizards pushed out a large wooden crate that they had prepared beforehand, intending to put the sea monster's corpse inside.

"It seems Gamp hunted the Kraken to establish his authority; he'll soon be a minister," Lilith said to Moriarty.

Moriarty nodded slightly. This idea must have come from Justus. It's not hard to see that Justus plays the role of a strategist in Gamp's interest group.

But this time, Justus miscalculated.

The Kraken was hunted by Moriarty.

Gamp knew this perfectly well, so he jumped off the boat and ran to Justus's side.

"Hey, hey! Justin," Gamp patted Justin on the shoulder, "I have to correct you on one point. The Kraken was hunted by this Mr. Moriarty. You miscalculated."

Justus reacted quickly, immediately putting down his wand and stopping the carrying of the Norse sea monster.

He then bowed to Moriarty and said, "I am so sorry, sir, please forgive my rudeness. I apologize to you."

His manners were impeccable, and his tone was sincere, leaving no room for criticism.

Moriarty didn't care about any of that. He waved his hand and said, "You can have the sea monster. We're here to discuss some things with Mr. Gamp."

"Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Moriarty," Gamp smiled and nodded, then waved to the small group of wizards. "You'll all come along later; this is a matter that will determine the fate of wizards."

Gamp instructed the Grey Wizard to prepare for the rendezvous.

A group of grey wizards went to make preparations, while another group sealed the sea monster's corpse.

Two red-haired, similar-looking male wizards, who appeared to be in their twenties, approached Gamp with grins.

One of them said, "Boss, could we have some sea monster meat?"

Another said, "Lord's family has too many children; they can't afford to eat!"

"Nonsense, it's clearly because your family has too many children!"

Just as the two were about to start arguing, Gamp stood between them with a smile.

"Hey guys, your kids combined could make two football teams. Don't worry, you'll get a share of the sea monster's carcass."

Lord immediately exclaimed, "Boss, you're so cool!"

The laborer retorted defiantly, "Boss, you're like my dear father!"

"Alright, alright," Gamp said, "I've spared the dragon hunt for the sake of you two red dragons, Weasley. If I had actually hunted one, would you still want to eat dragon meat?"

"Heh heh," Lauder and Lauder said in unison, "we have steel teeth."

"I know you miss our leader, but please give us some space." A middle-aged wizard who looked very much like Barty Crouch Jr. walked over.

There is also a white-haired wizard and an elderly wizard.

"Boss," the wizard who looked remarkably like Barty said with a somber expression, "I've disappointed you. I couldn't find the Deathly Hallows of the Peverell brothers!"

"Oh dear," Gamp and the wizard embraced, "from your tone, I thought you'd been bitten by a snake. The Deathly Hallows are nothing; I don't need them to become an unprecedented legendary wizard!"

Justus walked up to Moriarty at some point.

He said, "The playful bickering between brothers is something I apologize for."

Moriarty shook his head: "It's alright. I've been observing Mr. Gamp's conversations with the others, and I can see that you trust and rely on each other."

"We won't laugh, because we are the same way."

As Moriarty spoke, he exchanged a knowing glance with Jericho, Soldaya, and the others.

"Thank you for your understanding," Justus said with a smile, looking at Lilith. "It may be rude of me, but I must say that for some reason, I have a special feeling when I see this lady, like seeing a family member."

Moriarty wrapped his arms around Lilith's slender waist, pulling her close, and said earnestly, "We are partners. Although we are not married yet, I swear I will treat her well for the rest of my life and make her the happiest woman. We will get married, have children, live together, and do so many things. You can rest assured."

A wise glint flashed in Justus's eyes, his expression shifted, and he finally nodded thoughtfully.

Lilith, unusually shy, nestled into Moriarty's arms without looking up, thinking that with her grandfather's intelligence, he must have already guessed it; Moriarty always knew how to flirt...

However, Justus suddenly looked at Hermione: "Who is she?"

Moriarty pulled Hermione into his arms and said earnestly, "She is also my partner, and what I just said applies to her as well."

Hermione rested her head on Moriarty's chest, as submissive as a kitten.

Seeing this, and seeing that Lilith had no objections and the others looked on as if it were perfectly normal, Justus stood there dumbfounded.

To cover up his embarrassment, Justus brought up another topic: "The Lauder brothers are outcasts and extremists in the Weasley family. They hate Muggles. Mr. Gump helped them in their most difficult time, and since then they have treated Gump better than their own father."

"That's Capas Crouch, a descendant of the Peverell family, who's determined to offer the Deathly Hallows to Mr. Gump."

"That white-haired wizard is Mr. Greengrass, a close friend of Mr. Gump, despite their age difference."

"That father and son are from the Ollivander family."

Justus then introduced Moriarty and the others.

During this time, Light and Beethoven remained bystanders, observing the situation with indifference.

Justus sensed they weren't good people.

"Sorry to keep everyone waiting!" Gamp walked over. "Let's go back to the Golden Griffin's shabby little house."

……

Ten minutes later.

The group entered a small, dilapidated house.

Moriarty remembered this place, the address of the Black Griffin Manor, but in this world it had become the Golden Griffin's dilapidated hut.

Moriarty and his group, Gamp's small group, and Light and Beedle sat in a triangle in the room.

"Xiao Jia, no matter what you hear later, don't make a sound," Gamp said to his men.

However, Gampo looked at Moriarty, then at the light.

"Let's begin, gentlemen."

"I learned about the future from Mr. Light. I don't want immortality, nor do I want to pursue elemental artifacts. I've invited you all here today simply to hear your thoughts and opinions on wizards and Muggles."

As Gamp spoke, he bowed to Moriarty and Hikari respectively.

"This is of utmost importance to me, and I implore you all to tell me."

"I know that to you, I and everything in this world seem like a fiction, but we are living, breathing beings!"

A self-confession.

Moriarty once again understood Gamp's feelings. Although he had previously believed that Gamp would change, Moriarty was still somewhat moved to see that Gamp was willing to go to such lengths for the wizarding community.

He looked at the light, and just then the light looked at Moriarty as well.

The two exchanged glances.

"You miscalculated, didn't you?"

"Who would have thought!"

"But Gamp's shining qualities truly make him a legend."

"Every legendary wizard, whatever he did, had something extraordinary about him."

Moriarty and Hikaru withdrew their gazes.

"Mr. Gump, would you like to know about future wizards and Muggles?" Moriarty said with a smile.

Gamp nodded vigorously.

"Then please give us seven glasses of lemonade and one magic drink."

"No problem," Gamp readily agreed. "Jia, you arrange it, but what is this 'magic drink'?"

Justus looked at Lilith kindly and said with a smile, "It's okay, I know, we both love meat."
