The mastermind behind Hogwarts

"Brother Moriarty, are you leaving?"

Hermione noticed Moriarty's strange expression, wiped her mouth, and asked him what was wrong.

Upon hearing this, Astoria also raised her head.

Moriarty helped the two of them up and sat them down beside him.

"I have something to take care of. You two be good and go back to school when you've had your fun with Ginny and the others."

"Remember to lock the bar door."

After giving some instructions, Moriarty hurriedly left.

He didn't plan to tell anyone about this time travel.

However, Moriarty's departure was discovered by Ginny, who had been paying attention to his movements intentionally or unintentionally.

"Moriarty is gone? Where is he going?"

"This is bad! I haven't even had a chance to confess to Moriarty yet. This was something I prepared carefully!"

"Whatever, I'll go wherever Moriarty goes!"

Ginny jogged after her.

This action aroused suspicion from his companions.

"Hey? Ginny ran away?"

"It seems like Moriarty has left too."

"Are they secretly dating behind our backs?"

"No way, Hermione and Astoria are still over there."

"Ginny never steals food."

"What if?"

"Brother Moriarty has gone to find the griffin!"

"Look, they're coming this way."

The women chattered amongst themselves, their imaginations running wild.

Girls of this age naturally possess incredibly rich imaginations, and now, after having a few drinks, their thoughts have become even more expansive.

Hermione and Astoria approached and called to the girls, "It's time to end the party, go back to your houses, and get some sleep."

Hermione, known as "Little Big Guy," had a stern face that stunned the other women.

They lined up on their own and followed Hermione toward the door.

Astoria conducted the final headcount.

"Luna, Pansy, Susan, Hannah, Parvati, Padma..."

"Hmm?" Astoria blinked, realizing her mistake: "Where's Ginny?"

Hermione looked around the bar upon hearing this, but did not see Ginny.

Hannah slurred, "She...she went after Moriarty, and she left..."

"You've had too much to drink, my girl," Hermione quickly helped Hannah to a bench to rest. "Astoria, you watch over them, I'm going to find Ginny."

Astoria gave an "OK" sign. "Okay, go ahead. Don't let her bother Moriarty."

Hermione then ran out.

Her delicate nose wrinkled as she sniffed Moriarty's scent, following his trail.

But she had just left the bar.

The girls started making a fuss!

"Ginny's gone, and Hermione's gone too!"

"They eat alone!"

"They're dating Moriarty!"

Astoria was immediately at her wits' end. "Aaaaah! What should I do? Someone help me! I've come to realize that I'm not cut out for management! I should switch jobs with Hermione."

As soon as she finished speaking, Pansy stared straight at Astoria:

"Do you also want to monopolize Moriarty's affections?"

"Uh..." Astoria was speechless for a moment. She had just drunk Moriarty's yogurt. Could it be considered a sign of affection?

But Astoria dared not tell the truth; the girls were like hungry wolves, their eyes practically green with lust!

"Girls in puberty are such strange creatures," Astoria remarked, "as if they're never full."

Luna suddenly approached Astoria.

A strange smile appeared on her face.

Given Luna's tendency to say surprising things and things that others couldn't understand, Astoria didn't take it to heart.

However, Luna displayed astonishing wisdom during the Battle of Hogwarts, and no one dared to underestimate her.

The three female students who stood out the most in that battle were Hermione, Astoria, and Luna.

Thinking of this, Astoria looked at Luna: "Are you alright? With your intelligence, you didn't drink too much, did you?"

Hannah immediately objected: "What are you saying! Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Who can argue with that?"

"You really have self-awareness!"

Susan and Pansy immediately added insult to injury.

"I'll fight you to the death!!!" Hannah lunged at Susan and Pansy.

Astoria sighed, rubbing her forehead.

Luna smiled and said, "Astoria, you wouldn't want Hermione and Ginny to monopolize Moriarty's love, would you?"

"???"

Astoria looked puzzled. Luna, this art style is not right!

"I think Moriarty is doing something really meaningful, so we can't hold him back," Luna said righteously. "Let's go help him!"

Luna's words immediately garnered support from the other women.

"yeah!"

"That's right!"

"We can't let Ginny and Hermione share the affection—no, I mean, we can't let Moriarty be all alone!"

"Follow them! Let's go!"

A large group of girls rushed out of the bar.

Astoria suffered a complete defeat!

I had no choice but to lock the gate and follow behind them.

"No wonder I can only be an undercover agent and can't fight on the front lines," Astoria thought to herself. "My prestige isn't even as high as Luna's. Sigh."

Thus, this scene unfolded in Hogsmeade Village at night.

Moriarty walked in front, with Ginny jogging behind.

Hermione chased after Ginny, while Luna and the girls chased after Hermione.

Just like ants moving house!

A group of people returned to Hogwarts through a secret passage and then ran into the Forbidden Forest.

Moriarty retrieved the Eye of Time Lag.

"There are only two chances left to travel through time."

"I must discover the true identity of light within two attempts!"

The Eye of Time Lag: Open the portal to time and space!

Moriarty went inside.

Behind him, Ginny came running up, panting!

"What is that?" Ginny covered her mouth, her love for Moriarty ultimately overcoming her fear of the unknown.

"Moriarty-senpai, I've arrived!"

Ginny rushes toward the portal of time and space!

And just as Ginny ran inside...

Hermione has arrived!

"Ginny! No!"

Hermione had traveled through time portals before, so she knew all too well what those portals meant.

Ginny has traveled through time, and she's in danger!

"No, I can't leave Ginny alone in this other world."

Hermione runs toward the portal!

And that's exactly what happened after Hermione entered the portal.

Luna, leading a group of girls, also ran over.

"Hermione ran through that door!" Susan exclaimed, her eyes sharp.

"Then what are we waiting for? Moriarty must be inside too!"

"Charge, sisters! Defeat Hermione and Ginny, and rescue Moriarty!"

"Moriarty is ours~"

A group of girls excitedly ran into the portal!

"Wait for me."

Astoria stamped her foot, and with no other choice, ran inside as well.

"Whoosh~"

The portal to time and space has vanished.

The forbidden forest has returned to silence.

It was as if nothing had ever happened.

however.

Another world.

A portal to another time and space appears.

Moriarty stepped out and onto a patch of grass.

"Oh? The Forbidden Forest?"

"Hogwarts in another world".

"Oh my!" Ginny exclaimed suddenly.

Moriarty turned around to look.

Ginny ran out of the portal and, lacking experience since it was her first time traveling through time, fell on the grass.

"Ouch~"

Ginny, clutching her backside, had just gotten up when Hermione ran out of the portal and bumped into her.

"Bang!"

The two women fell down together.

Then, Luna and the other girls ran out one after another, only to trip and fall to the ground one after another!

Moriarty looked at the group of female students piled up like a small mountain on the grass.

His mouth was wide open!

"Can anyone tell me what happened?"
