The Big Boss Behind Hogwarts

Vol 2 Chapter 21: Meeting of Powers

"Mr. Fudge," old Flint said understandingly, as he brought a plate of lemon pie to Fudge, "eat some."

"Oh? Oh, oh!" Fudge hurriedly retracted his hand into the sleeve of his suit, then reached out to take the lemon pie, and gave old Flint a grateful look, "Who are you? Old Mr. Flint! You seem to have been lately Had some business conflict with Lucius... oh, sorry! Did I say something wrong? Oh Merlin..."

Fudge was obviously bewildered by Lockhart. He bluntly spoke out about the conflict between old Flint and Lucius, and a whole bunch of purebloods stared at him badly!

The old Markustan said calmly, "No matter what contradictions there are between us, the Flint family will always be your supporters!"

"Are you telling the truth?" Fudge couldn't believe his ears, his hands were shaking with excitement, and the plate containing the lemon pie and the spoon made a "dangdang" sound.

Old Flint was like a kind elder: "Of course it's true, the Flint family never lies!"

Immediately his expression became serious: "Lockhart is only a novelist, what qualifications does he have to run for? It's time for pure blood to stand up! The Flint family has now issued a public statement: firmly support Mr. Fudge's candidacy for Minister of Magic! "

The pure-bloods' faces changed slightly, and they began to whisper. Old Flint hadn't said a few words since he attended the banquet, and it was too sudden and shocking to express his position now.

After the old Flint finished speaking, he sat back in his seat, during which he did not have any communication with Moriarty.

Old Foley stood up slowly: "Old Flint said just now that Mr. Lockhart is just a novelist? I can't agree! I have worked closely with Mr. Lockhart and Mr. Moriarty."

Old Foley winked at Moriarty with a smile, and then said, "I think Mr. Lockhart's opinion is very valuable. Therefore, on behalf of the Foley family, I publicly support Dumbledore's election for Minister of Magic!"

"What?" Lucius' eyes widened, staring at Old Foley, his eyes seemed to say, "You have betrayed"

You must know that the Foley family is all Death Eaters!

What about the Death Eaters? What about the Dark Lord?

old Foley thought disdainfully.

He sat back down and glanced at Moriarty covertly. Years of experience told him that Lockhart had a close relationship with Moriarty. Just to add some goodwill to Moriarty.

As the two pure-blood families expressed their respective positions, the banquet also came to an end. Fudge walked out of Malfoy Manor in a daze. He wanted to go home, and he wanted to write a letter to the Piliwick family immediately!

Lucius and others are paying close attention to the old Flint, because according to the students of Slytherin, Marcus has become Moriarty's follower, so they agree that the Flint family should obey Mori Artie's, but the old Flint's performance at the banquet made them realize that the Flint family and Moriarty didn't seem to be on the same page.

Soon, Lucius confirmed this.

The reason is that the Twelve Hogwarts Board of Trustees received a letter from Marcus Flint!

The letter reveals Marcus' admiration and admiration for Dumbledore. He publicly expressed his hope that Dumbledore would become the Minister of Magic, and called on all the teachers and students at Hogwarts to support Dumbledore!

"Have the brains of these students been eaten by the Winged Demon?" Lucius threw a stack of parchment on the luxurious wooden table in his study angrily, "It's all letters from students! It also includes Slytherin students. ? What were they thinking!"

Narcissa covered her forehead and said with a frown: "Marcus is Moriarty's sidekick, Marcus must be carrying out Moriarty's orders! So the Slytherin students are not supporting Dumbledore. , but don't want to offend Moriarty!"

Lucius was furious: "Very good! Moriarty knows that we can't choose Dumbledore. He is forcing us to put pressure on Fudge! Stupid Fudge, why can't he agree to Moriarty's request!"

"This may be good news," Narcissa said thoughtfully: "It means that old Flint is still on the pureblood side, and only Marcus is loyal to Moriarty."

Lucius nodded silently, and sighed helplessly when his eyes shifted to the student's letter.

After Fudge knew what happened at Hogwarts, he couldn't sit still. He immediately went to Piliwick Manor in London!

However, Fudge closed the door. He didn't know that the head of the Piliwick family, the former head of the Magic Law Enforcement Department, Justus Piliwick was meeting Moriarty!

Like the chain reaction of the butterfly effect, after Marcus's action, Moriarty made the same decision as Fudge, meeting the ruling family.

Lilith eagerly introduces her grandfather to Moriarty, so Moriarty visits Piliwick Manor and chats with Justus.

No one knows what the two talked about, only that Moriarty and the Piliwick family came to Fudge Manor together at the "Gathering of Powers" held at the end of July.

Fudge, who greeted the guests at the entrance of the manor, saw this scene, strutted his legs and forced a smile, but before he could speak, he heard Moriarty say lightly: "Look no more for half a month, Mr. Fudge is thin. I'm tired, too."

Fudge opened his mouth and listened to what Justus meant: "Mr. Fudge reminded me of the experience I had when I entered the Law Department as an intern. Young people, there's nothing wrong with doing more work."

"I lost weight because of my political work." Fudge said following Justus' words, with a smile on his face.

"Lilith, did you hear that?" Moriarty teased, "How about you do an internship at the Ministry of Magic for a while?"

Lilith understood in seconds: "You mean, I'm fat? So I need to work hard for my job to lose weight?"

She wore a lace pure white princess dress today, and she was not fat at all, so she narrowed her eyes and looked up and down Moriarty, revealing a dangerous look.

"I didn't say that, it's your overthinking." Moriarty shrugged and walked into the manor, Lilith followed relentlessly, and suddenly heard Jericho's laughter: "Moriarty Sir, Miss Piliwick, I knew you would come!"

I haven't seen you for a month, and Jericho has grown a little taller.

When the three of them got together, Lilith wondered why this American cowboy appeared at the party of powers in England, and Jericho pouted at a burly wizard among the gang of wizards standing in the hall talking.

Lilith said "oh": "James Blanche, the current Director of Sports at the Magical Congress of the United States!"

"That's right, my father!" Jericho said with a smile: "I received a letter from Marcus, knowing that the British political world was about to reshuffle, I persuaded my father to come to England in the name of the Quidditch World Cup to share with you Talks with Ludo Bagman, Division of Magical Sports.

Mr. Fudge heard that my father invited my father after he arrived in the UK, so I appeared in front of the two of them naturally. "

"This is what you planned!" Lilith gave Jericho a suspicious look: "You know that Fudge will definitely invite your father to increase his face."

"Sa~" Jericho smiled slightly: "Who knows."

Then he looked at Moriarty and said in a deep voice, "Sir, how is it going? Will Fudge be obedient?"

"He has no better choice," Moriarty said indifferently. "Accepting my gift and giving me a rich enough return is his only choice."

"I understand." Jericho lowered his voice: "Actually, the reason why my father came to England was not only because of my persuasion, but he also wanted to meet you. Sir, I request you to interview my father."

"No problem." Moriarty nodded lightly, "Jerico, my friend. I am very willing to cooperate with your family, such as the Quidditch World Cup starting next year. If the two of us cooperate, sure You can make a lot of money, and more importantly, you can increase your influence.”

"Great! Great!" Jericho threw a fist in excitement, which made Lilith glance at him dissatisfied, "You and I have thought of it!" He laughed.

"Jerico, how many times have I said that you are not allowed to show your wild side." A neutral voice came.

James Blanche came over. He was a pure white man ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ who spoke perfect American English, and he was 1.90 meters tall.

He immediately compared Ludo Bagman next to him. You must know that Ludo is not short - he used to be a hitter.

As for Bertha Jorkins, the clerk of the Department of Magic and Sports who followed behind them, she looked even shorter, like a dwarf.

James glanced at Jericho reproachfully, then extended his hand to Moriarty: "James Blanche, it's an honor to meet you, Mr. Moriarty."

Moriarty shook his hand and noticed that James's hands had many calluses, which were marks left by holding the broom handle for a long time.

"Mr. Moriarty, Jericho told me about your four games at Hogwarts, are you interested in joining the American Quidditch national team?" James' eyes lit up, "I promise with my family honor, As long as you join the national team and train a little, you can play in next year's World Cup!"

"Invite me to the World Cup?" Moriarty's eyes flashed with a smile, which sounded quite interesting.

Ludo hurriedly said, "Mr. James!" He gave James a dissatisfied look, "How can you poach someone in front of me? Mr. Moriarty is a descendant of Slytherin, so how could he represent the United States? Right? "

In order to confirm, he eagerly walked over to Moriarty and said with a smile to Moriarty: "I believe in Mr. James' vision, you definitely have the qualification to represent the British national team in the Quidditch World Cup, if you are willing Give me a chance, please wait for me to visit you after the banquet is over!"

Hearing the word "visit" here, James remembered the purpose of his coming to England, and hurriedly said: "And me! I have long wanted to be a guest at Slytherin Castle, Mr. Moriarty, please be sure to satisfy My little request."
