Chapter 74
Vol 2 Chapter 13: Pure Blood Letter
The All-European Wizarding Duel Competition is held every four years. The venue of this duel competition is Paris. The wizards and wizards who stood out from the wizarding duel competitions of various countries rushed to the French Ministry of Magic to report in the past few days.
Professor Flitwick and Charlie met Madame Maxime during the reporting period, and they introduced Moriarty in detail to the rules of the contest.
The competition is divided into the adult wizard group and the underage wizard group. The competition system is a cruel knockout. Fleur and Charlie have signed up for the underage wizard group.
“So you want me to sign up for the underage wizarding group and play on behalf of Hogwarts?” Moriarty raised the corner of his mouth with a hint of sarcasm.
Let him, who has learned and proficient in using the Killing Curse, join the underage wizard group? Isn’t it a murder?
And because he is too young to sign up for the adult wizarding group, what’s the point of participating in this all-European wizarding duel competition?
“We think you need some fresh air,” Dumbledore said earnestly: “Although I don’t know what happened to you, everyone can see that you have been through a lot in just two weeks. Everyone wants you Let’s take it easy, the summer vacation has just begun, isn’t it?”
Moriarty looked at Dumbledore deeply, the old man’s eyes were clear and clear, and he read the meaning of pleading.
After thinking about it for a while, Moriarty agreed. It’s true that life has been a little tired recently, so it would be good to go and play with children in Eastern Europe.
Everyone showed a relieved smile. Professor Flitwick ran to the Ministry of Magic to sign up for Moriarty. Charlie said happily: “Great, this time the champion must belong to Hogwarts and belong to Great Britain! There is Moriarty! Sir, I don’t have to bear heavy pressure anymore.”
Speaking of which, Charlie is also pitiful. Because William traveled, Leon went to intern at the Ministry of Magic, Bill disappeared, Moriarty and Tonks were unwilling to sign up, so he could only represent Hogwarts.
Charlie’s outstanding performance in the All England Wizarding Duel did not make Charlie confident, but sad.
Furong, who is also a contestant, understands his thoughts, “In recent years, a large number of outstanding young wizards have emerged from Eastern European countries such as Bulgaria, Serbia, and Ukraine, not to mention the old magic powers, the woolly bear in the north and the steel frame. Chariot…”
Furong spoke about the magic world in Eastern Europe in a melodious language, and everyone knew that she was speaking to Moriarty, because everyone knew this.
A week later, the All-European Wizarding Duel Contest was held as scheduled. When Moriarty came to the competition venue of the minor group, he found that there were 46 contestants, and nearly half of the young wizards did not come. They gave up for various reasons. Contest!
Madame Maxime, who knew something about the inside story, laughed: “To count on the **** from the Ministry of Magic to keep a secret is to bring Merlin back to life. I dare say that the news that Mr. Moriarty will use the Killing Curse has spread all over the pure-blooded family in France. , the young masters and princesses in those families will naturally not come to the competition!”
Immediately she frowned, it was only a matter of time before Moriarty became the first, and the second… She looked at Charlie and sighed.
So Furong can only compete for the third place?
Madame Maxime’s wish failed to come true, and the third place was won by Viktor Krum from Bulgaria.
Charlie finished second with 7 wins and 1 loss.
Moriarty won the championship with a glorious record of eight wins.
After the game, Moriarty did not attend the award ceremony, and was unwilling to make a big report. The French Ministry of Magic cooperated obediently, but Feng Wei Capet asked Dumbledore a meaningful question.
“My dear Albus, what were you doing when you were 12?”
Dumbledore laughed and said, “I don’t remember, but it’s not casting the Killing Curse on the vampire after all.”
Fengwei Capet asked again: “Can Grindelwald and You-Know-Who release the Killing Curse at the age of 12?”
“You can also cast a Killing Curse at 12 if you have the guts to ask them in person.”
“I’m 48 years old!” The French Minister of Magic looked at Dumbledore helplessly. Sometimes he really couldn’t do anything about this crazy old man.
“Oh? Yes, that’s the other way around.” Dumbledore walked away briskly, and he went to congratulate Madam Maxime.
Furong did not win the junior group, but a senior girl from Beauxbatons won the senior championship.
Dumbledore held an afternoon tea party with Madame Maxime and invited everyone to celebrate. During the dinner, Dumbledore invited Moriarty to join him to invite Nicole LeMay.
“I’ll meet Master Nico, but not now.” Moriarty pointed to Poseidon, who was eating at another table, which looked like it had traveled a long way. “Luke brought it to me. A lot of letters, so I’m going back to England tonight to deal with some trivial matters. I’ll leave the meeting time with Master Nico for the first alchemy class of the second grade!”
“I really don’t know how confident you are that you can dig up the treasure of our Beauxbatons!” Madame Maxime said angrily.
Nicole Lemay studied at Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he met his future wife, and later he funded the castle and grounds for the school, and the fountain on the school grounds was named after the Lemays.
The Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry still retains a large number of manuscripts and alchemy notes by Nicole LeMay.
Successive principals thought that Nicole Lemay was a student of Beauxbatons, and every Beauxbaton student was proud that Nicole Lemay was their alumni.
And now Hogwarts is going to poach Nicole LeMay?
The key is that the old man and the young man in front of him are still so confident!
Madame Maxime suddenly realized that the dessert and black tea in her hand were not fragrant.
Moriarty and Dumbledore looked at each other and smiled. This question may be their only tacit understanding.
Nicole Lemay lived for more than six hundred years. There are too few things in this world that can impress him, and rare and precious knowledge happens to be one of them.
After the afternoon tea, Moriarty was going to Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport and flew back to London by plane. Everyone said goodbye to Moriarty. Charlie was very interested in the plane and pestered Moriarty to inquire. Moriarty decided Give him an airport guide and a set of “Airplanes” this Christmas.
When it was Fleur’s turn to say goodbye to Moriarty, she actually hugged Moriarty softly and said in his ear, “Thank you for saving me that night, maybe you can change your appearance, but you can’t change your eyes. , Don’t ask why, just take it as Meiwa’s intuition. Bye~ don’t come to France next time, you will be revenge by vampires.”
“Meiwa’s intuition…” Moriarty looked at Furong’s floating back. They had been in contact for a week, and it was only now that Furong left a good impression on Moriarty.
On the plane, Moriarty took out the letters Luke sent him. There were thirty letters in total!
Luke had already sorted out the letters. The first letter was written by Lockhart, who reported to Moriarty about the Romanian industry.
After investing a lot of money, the Flint family’s dragon farm has been established, and the dragon-related breeding, service and tourism industries are also in full swing.
The cake is only so big, but there are more and more people who want to share the cake. The Flint family has been jealous and sniped by other pure-blooded and local Romanian wizards.
Here’s what Lockhart said:
“My esteemed young master, the local wizards are a bunch of cheapskates who see money, and when I put boxes of gold bricks in front of them, they can’t wait to kiss my ass!
And the pure-blooded family in the UK—the pure-bloods who are the same as the old Flint of the Twenty-Eight Saints, I thought they were so powerful!
A week ago, I met with Lucius Malfoy, the pureblood representative. To be precise, Lucius went to Romania to negotiate with the old Flint – the Malfoy family’s dragon farm was crowded by the old Flint. Can’t go on.
I really want you to see Lucius’ face! Humph, let this hypocrite stop our mutual aid foundation, now he has to look at our faces too!
Lucius hoped that the old Flint would let his dragon farm be spared, and on behalf of the Holy Twenty-Eight Pure Blood Family, he would throw an olive branch to the old Flint family.
I’m glad to tell you that old Flint is trustworthy. He has not forgotten the pure blood family’s suppression of him. He put forward many harsh conditions. When Lucius left Romania, his face turned green. ”
Seeing this, Moriarty opened the second letter written by Old Flint. In addition to a large section of thanks, the letter also mentioned that Lucius went to Romania to meet with Old Flint.
In order to avenge the revenge for being excluded and suppressed in the past, the old Flint did a lot of work to humiliate Lucius.
Lucius, who called himself “Platinum Noble”, actually held back, which made Moriarty wonder, is this the style of the Malfoy family?
Seeing the end of the letter, Old Fleet answered Moriarty’s doubts. It turned out that Lucius was connecting the major pure-blood families and canvassing for Fudge’s rise to the throne next year.
Old Flint added a sentence at the end: “According to Lucius, he expects to hold a pure blood party at the Malfoy Manor in mid-July~www.readwn.com~, all the pure blood families will be Come, I think he will definitely invite you, Master.”
So Moriarty opened the third letter, which was sent to Malfoy Manor, Wiltshire.
“Dear Mr. Moriarty, I am your forever loyal friend, Lucius Malfoy.
You must know that for thousands of years, every member of the Malfoy family has graduated from Slytherin House! The Malfoy family is overjoyed to hear that you have returned from China, and heard that you are not public, so they did not disturb you during your first school year.
Now it’s different.
My friends Gilderoy Lockhart, old Flint, old Foley, and your senior, Mitchum, told me that you can think at the headmaster’s level when you are 11 years old.
So I take the liberty to invite you to the annual pureblood party, and at the same time ask you to believe that next year will be an extraordinary year.
The change of power in the Ministry of Magic and the market reshuffle of pure-blood families are the topics of the party. Everyone who produces pure-bloods knows that the Slytherin family is pure-blood of pure-bloods. Therefore, I urge you to consider the above two issues carefully.
May Merlin bless you. ”
At the end of the letter raft, the ancestral motto of the Malfoy family is printed: Born noble.
As if it had been agreed, starting from the third letter, there are 27 letters in a row, all letters from pure blood families, without exception.
“What does the British Holy Twenty-Eight Pure-blood Family invite me to attend the pure-blood party at this time? It seems that the combination of Lockhart and old Flint really put a lot of pressure on them.” Moriarty played playfully. These letters, he weighed the weight of the letter, it is very light, but the weight behind it is very heavy.
Interesting is the thirtieth letter, signed Cornelius Fudge.
