Chapter 36
Chapter 35: Minister Of Magic
Moriarty’s trip to the Forbidden Forest ended when Hagrid gave the sage and mallow to the centaur Bane, but he got a tip from Firenze and Marcus got close to Hagrid. Relationships are generally rewarding.
The next morning, Moriarty started a new day. What was different from before was that every time he saw a student, a professor, or even a ghost, he would always ask more questions about Peeves.
Soon all the teachers and students in the school knew that Moriarty was interested in Peeves, and also found that Peeves had not appeared for a long time. At this time, Peeves appeared as if he could read human hearts.
But Moriarty found that Peeves would avoid him and try to avoid meeting him.
Time entered November like this, the weather became very cold, the mountains around the school were gray, covered with snow and ice, and the lake surface was as cold and hard as hardened steel.
Every morning or evening, there is frost on the ground. Moriarty will go out every time at this time, and let the water element magic in his body get close to the cold air. The gift of nature makes his magic level, which he has not broken through for a long time, loosen a little.
Now Moriarty has a lot to do every day: fight Tonks at dawn, and occasionally make potions.
If there is a class in the morning, I will go to class. If there is no class, I will practice a few spells on the frozen lake.
At noon, he always carried the potion formula on his back.
In the afternoon, I go to class when I have class. If I don’t have class, I usually study ancient rune and ancient Latin in the library, and occasionally meet Gemma-senpai.
At night, apply what you’ve learned to the spell left by Salazar, Moriarty predicts that in a few days, the flying spell will be ready to use.
Moriarty’s time was filled with intense study, which made Jericho, who had been wanting to discuss Quidditch tactics with him, anxious.
“We’re going to play Gryffindor soon! But Prefects William and Leon are busy preparing for their exams, and Moriarty can’t find him!” Jericho patted in the common room The table, “Are we going to lose to Gryffindor? That Percy guy will show off!”
Suddenly, the stone door of the common room was opened, and Marcus broke in: “What about Mr. McGonagall? Professor McGonagall asked him to go to the principal’s office!”
“Why?” Jericho asked.
“I don’t know,” Marcus said hoarsely, “but I saw the Minister of Magic, Millison Bagno, and a reporter, Rita Sturt?”
“It’s Rita Skeeter!” Lilith stood up from the sofa beside her, and there were several girls on the sofa.
“She’s a third-rate reporter who can betray anyone for the news, but her attitude towards Moriarty is respectful,” she said confidently with her arms crossed: “As for Millison Bagno? She recently It’s not very good! So don’t worry, this time she comes to school, it will definitely not be bad for Moriarty.
Then, you ask me where is Moriarty? Humph, at this time, he was either with Sister Tonks or Sister Gemma, or was he measuring the top of Hogwarts with his footsteps again? I hope you can find him. ”
After speaking, Lilith straightened her long hair hanging down from her forehead, and walked out of the lounge with a dignified manner.
The eldest Marcus opened his mouth: “What’s wrong with her?”
Jericho spread his hands: “Do you think I would know? Since Mr. Moriarty often disappeared from our sight, she has also become elusive. Oh, Merlin, I feel like I’ve been abandoned!”
“Then where should I go to find Mr.?” Marcus looked at Jericho eagerly.
“Didn’t Piliwick say that, he would rather be with Tonks and Gemma than play with me.” Jericho looked sad and left with the tactical notes he painstakingly prepared.
“So where should I go to find Tonks or Gemma?” Marcus looked around blankly, hoping that the other little snakes could give him some advice.
Just when everyone was worried that Moriarty could not be found, Moriarty returned to the castle, and it was the **** Barrow who found him.
“Go, go to the principal’s office, the password is Zizzi Bee Candy,” Barrow said in his characteristic voice: “Our business will be discussed later.”
“Okay, Barrow, I hope you can tell me frankly.” Moriarty stepped up a floating staircase, tapped his staff lightly, and a staircase leading to the principal’s room on the eighth floor appeared automatically.
Barrow watched Moriarty go away, a look of fear appeared on his face for the first time.
At the door of the principal’s office, Moriarty said to a drip-mouthed stone beast, “Zizi Bee Candy.”
“Hey~ Hello, Slytherin! Your ever loyal Hogwarts headmaster’s office guard Paro salutes you~”
The drip-mouth stone beast seemed to be shouting at the top of its throat, and at the same time jumped aside, revealing a spiral staircase that was slowly moving upwards hidden behind it.
Moriarty glanced at the stone beast, said nothing, stepped up the stairs, and entered the principal’s office.
It was a spacious, beautiful circular room full of whispering little voices of all kinds.
On the slender-legged table, there are all kinds of silverware, spinning and spewing out small puffs of smoke.
The walls were covered with portraits of old school principals, men and women, who stared at Moriarty with piercing eyes.
“Hello~ Mr. Slytherin, I can’t wait for you to put me on your head.” The Sorting Hat said happily on a huge table.
Its words caught the attention of the rest of the room, and a large crowd turned to look at Moriarty.
There was Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, and a woman Moriarty didn’t know, and behind her stood a burly wizard.
“Oh, little Mr. Moriarty, here you are,” said Dumbledore happily. “This is the Minister of Magic Millison Bagno, and the Minister has brought good news. And, the Minister’s adviser. Cornelius Fudge of the office.”
This sturdy wizard is Fudge? The Minister of Magic who ruled during Voldemort’s return?
Moriarty couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Fudge. Sure enough, he gained weight after becoming a minister.
“Good morning, Minister, Mr. Fudge.” Moriarty greeted politely.
The minister glanced at Fudge, who immediately took out a roll of parchment and a silver badge from his bag.
He read aloud the contents of the paper: “In view of Moriarty Slytherin’s contributions to “The Art of Transfiguration Ancient and Modern,” “The Five Exceptions to Gamp’s Five Fundamental Laws of Transfiguration,” “Animagus and Essence” “Transfiguration, Essence Deformation and Element Deformation” three papers are of epoch-making significance, and the members of “Transfiguration Today” agreed that Moriarty Slytherin won the Most Potential Newcomer Award!”
There was a sudden applause in the room, Dumbledore smiled, Professor McGonagall clapped vigorously, and even Sijiao nodded.
Fudge stuffed Moriarty with the badge and parchment, and waved to the door~www.readwn.com~Rita Skeeter walked in with a magic camera.
“Quick, Mr. Slytherin,” said Fudge eagerly, “come and take a picture with the minister, it’s sure to make the front page.”
Moriarty narrowed his eyes: “I refuse.”
The atmosphere instantly froze, and no one reacted.
“What? You mean—er, haha…” Fudge smirked, winking at Dumbledore.
The Minister of Magic’s face turned blue, even though her face had always been bad.
Moriarty glanced at the two politicians and said lightly: “I don’t like taking pictures for people to see me, and I don’t like being famous and showy. For this, I want to ask me to come forward in Mr. Lockhart. When his novels add color, Lady Rita will know.”
Rita held the camera and smiled awkwardly.
“As for the benefit of taking a photo with the minister, I don’t care anymore. I dare to say that everyone here is not as rich as me.”
After Moriarty finished speaking, the headmaster’s room fell silent.
“Haha,” Dumbledore shook his head and smiled, breaking the silence: “Okay Fudge, don’t embarrass me, old man, what if I annoy Mr. Moriarty and he fires me, you know, four A giant’s surname, oh, that’s not something an old man can afford.”
“Uh, um, that’s it.” Fudge was sweating profusely and looked at his minister.
The Minister nodded stiffly at Dumbledore: “Goodbye, Albus.”
Then he glanced at Moriarty coldly, and strode out. Fudge bowed and nodded to everyone in the room, and followed closely with Rita.
“She’s about to step down, isn’t she?” Moriarty walked up to Dumbledore.
