The mastermind behind Hogwarts

The main world.

Hogwarts Forbidden Forest.

Without warning, the portal opened, and Moriarty, Ishicher, Zhang Tianxue, and the four maids slowly walked out.

Ishcher stepped onto the solid ground, sniffed the air, and cheered like a little girl, "Finally home! Wuhu~"

Moriarty smiled without saying a word.

After six months, he finally found Ishcher.

How could this not be exciting and delightful?

of course.

Zhang Tianxue's recent ordeal is a lesson worth learning.

"Let's go home together."

Moriarty held Ishicher's hand with his left hand and Zhang Tianxue's hand with his right, while the four maids followed obediently behind.

The group flew toward Slytherin Castle.

Inside the castle.

Narcissa, Diana, Cappadocia, and other women were all present.

When the women met Ishcher and Zhang Tianxue, the atmosphere was harmonious and joyful.

Moriarty was overjoyed. What could be more comforting than a peaceful and secure harem?

However, there is also one downside.

Moriarty said, "Do you know how much determination it took for me to resist the urge to pounce on him?"

Amidst the shy yet expectant gazes of the women, Moriarty resolutely left the castle and returned to Hogwarts.

He handed the captured ring to Professor Nicolas Flamel.

The old professor examined the ring carefully, and his brows furrowed instantly.

"Oh, what a strange thing!"

"Where did you find this?"

"This is really weird; I don't even know what its main ingredient is?"

Moriarty said solemnly, "It seems that bringing them back was the right choice."

"The more difficult it is to crack, the more important it is."

"However, I can give you a hint, Professor."

"Did you know that Light is a legend!"

"In other words, this thing came from the hands of a legend."

Professor Nicolas Flamel smiled slightly: "Hmm, I think I understand what you mean."

"There are only so many magical legends in history, but it seems that no one likes to use rings."

"I'll look into it further and let me know as soon as I have any updates."

Moriarty gave an OK sign and slowly left the alchemy classroom.

He also needs to look up some relevant information.

Back in the Slytherin common room.

Lilith, Jericho, Marcus, Soldaya, and the others sat on the sofa, all staring at Moriarty.

"Are you alright?" Lilith asked with concern. "You look a little tired."

"Ah, you always see right through me." Moriarty smiled, hugged Lilith, and kissed her forehead.

"I'm alright, I..." Moriarty briefly recounted his time travel, omitting the part about conquering the otherworldly Narcissa.

Finally, Moriarty concluded, "Everything is moving in a positive direction, but the strange behavior of the light still bothers me a lot."

"However..." Moriarty took out the Eye of Time Lag, a time-traveling artifact that was now dim and lifeless. "The time power of the Eye of Time Lag has been mostly used up, and there aren't many more chances to travel through time."

Lilith walked behind Moriarty and massaged his temples, whispering, "I don't care how many more times the Eye of Time Lag can travel; I care more about your health."

Astoria, being quite perceptive, picked up Moriarty's feet, put them in her arms, and began to massage them.

Jericho deliberately twitched his nose forcefully: "Ah! What do I smell?"

Soldaya laughed and said, "It's the stench of love~"

"I can't take it anymore, let's go!" Jericho grabbed a few of his companions and ran out laughing.

Before leaving, Jericho reminded them, "Professor Snape will be giving us career counseling at three o'clock this afternoon. Remember the time, or don't blame me if you're late."

Moriarty looked at Lilith: "Aren't we sixth graders? Why do we need career counseling?"

As Lilith massaged her, she spoke softly, "Do you remember what happened in fifth grade?"

"Hogwarts became Gump's arena of power, Ralph and the Goblin King nearly destroyed the entire school, and we participated in the Battle of London."

"How could there be job counseling?!"

"So the school moved the career counseling session, which was supposed to be held last year, to this year."

As Lilith spoke, she took a razor from her small bag, which had been enchanted with a smudge-free stretching spell.

"Let me shave you, don't move."

"Mmm~" Moriarty enjoyed Lilith's gentle care and said, "What? You've learned to be a good wife? That's incredible."

"To be served by me, you'd better not get your hopes up!" Lilith rolled her eyes.

As she spoke, her hair fell down, turning into a small snake head, teasing Moriarty's nose like a foxtail grass.

"I suddenly had a bold idea."

"Pooh!"

……

3 PM.

The classroom on the second floor of the castle.

Sixth-year students from Slytherin are here seeking career advice.

Professor Snape allowed the students to enter the classroom one by one and speak with him individually.

Each person's conversation should not exceed five minutes.

As always, it's simple and clear.

The order of the conversations was based on the college list from the first enrollment.

Jericho was ranked high up. He straightened his clothes and walked into the classroom.

A wooden table with parchment on it, containing information about each student.

Two chairs.

Professor Snape sat in one of the chairs, and Jericho quickly went over and sat down opposite him.

"Jellico Blanch".

Professor Snape picked up the document, glanced at it casually, and put it down.

"This kind of data is meaningless to you and does not reflect your true level."

"Then please tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"

Please state your true thoughts.

When it came to important matters of life, Professor Snape's tone softened.

Jericho moved his lips a few times and slowly said, "At first, I just wanted to see the descendants of Slytherin."

"And then I embarked on countless adventures with Moriarty."

"I've become stronger, very, very strong, but there's nothing I particularly want to do."

"I only want to defeat the Immortal Organization."

Professor Snape immediately said, "Have you ever thought about what you would do if you defeated the Immortals?"

"Ah..." Jericho scratched his head. "I'll probably go to the American West, become a cowboy, and enjoy life?"

"That's certainly your style," Professor Snape seemed to chuckle, but immediately added, "I don't deny your ideas, as your Dean of the College and Careers Professor."

"I need to remind you of one thing: defeating the Immortal Organization is the goal, not your life."

"You're 16 now, Mr. Jericho! I've called every student 'Mr.' or 'Ms.' since they enrolled because I expect them to think like adults."

"Your life should not overlap with that of Mr. Moriarty or anyone else."

"Of course, if you want to be with him, then disregard what I just said."

Professor Snape gestured for Jericho to leave.

Jericho laughed. "Professor, you were just joking with me, weren't you? Hmm?"

After saying that, Jericho quickly ran away.

After he went outside, he didn't speak to Moriarty or Lilith, but instead made some winks and ran off.

"What does he mean?" Lilith was speechless.

"You just met him? You know he has an episode every few days."

Moriarty looked delighted.

"It seems Professor Snape said something to him."

"That shows that this employment counseling is quite meaningful."

Soon, it was Moriarty's turn.

Lilith helped Moriarty tidy up his appearance and watched him walk into the classroom.

(This career counseling is mentioned in the original books. In the fifth book, the Order of the Phoenix, Professor McGonagall advised Harry, so it should be the four heads of the house giving guidance to their respective students.)
