The Big Boss Behind Hogwarts

Moriarty walked into a corner and saw Peeves, "Lately, Mr. Moriarty." Peeves opened his mouth and said.

"If you still want to ask me last year's question, then I can tell you, I don't know." Moriarty said casually, he was not in the mood to play dumb with Peeves now.

"Why is each of you so serious!" Peeves seemed to be complaining, but also very regretful: "Every day is boring to ask questions and solve problems dryly, just like completing tasks. You often say that life is a trip, but travel is just taking pictures and punching cards? You also say that life is like a play, but wearing a mask and acting is a lifetime, and you can’t take it off until you die.”

There was a strange light in Moriarty's eyes: "I am amazed at your intelligence, Peeves. You have aroused my curiosity, who are you? Or, what kind of existence are you. "

"Perfect question, Mr. Moriarty." Peeves' voice was very magnetic, as if the regret just now didn't exist, "I think when you really figure this out, you can realize the real meaning. of graduates from this school.

Of course, it is inappropriate to say these now. I know you are confused now, and I am here to help you. "

"Help?" Moriarty folded his arms in a listening gesture. "Please, Mr. Peeves."

"Nicolas Lemay is not the only alchemist in this world. They may not be wizards or humans. They may have died and disappeared." Peeves said: "And I happen to know one of them, and it's right here. in a castle, but I'm not sure you can find it."

"It?" Moriarty wondered to himself who Peeves was talking about, fresco? armor? ghost?

Peeves floated around Moriarty, his voice ringing in Moriarty's ears: "Didn't the head professor tell you? You used to speak the snake language, mobilize the murals, armor, stone piers in the castle Guarding the castle, there is a portrait on the fresco that does not follow the other portraits to guard the castle..."

"Portrait of the Headless Horseman!" Moriarty caught Peeves' words: "Dumbledore told me about this, why, you said it was a master alchemist?"

"It's a knight! - at least that's what it says," muttered Peeves. "I can't see through it, you know? I once passed Merlin's portrait and saw it casting a spell on a tree. , that should be alchemy, yes, that's right, alchemy!"

Peeves' voice suddenly increased, as if to convince himself, Moriarty's mouth twitched slightly, an unreliable feeling surged in his heart, but he said calmly: "Okay, Peeves Sir, I'm going to talk to him, so where do I find it?"

"Who knows, it doesn't have its own portrait, it always wanders in the murals of other portraits." Peeves said frivolously, he seemed to want to leave, and slowly moved away from Moriarty: "Goodbye, Moriah Mr. Tee, I hope you can figure that out next time I see you."

Moriarty watched Peeves leave, and Lilith came behind him: "Lord Barrow is also gone. He told me that Jericho might be in the library. Where are we going now?"

"Go to the library to find Jericho, that kid must be exhausted, I have to let him sleep peacefully." Moriarty didn't look for the Headless Horseman for the first time, he took Lilith to the library.

The library was empty, and if Jericho was inside, Mrs. Pince couldn't have driven him out, so Jericho must have used the Disillusionment Charm.

"Appear quickly!" Moriarty chanted a Manifestation Spell, and sure enough, they saw Jericho in the forbidden book area, curled up on the ground and fell asleep, holding a few books in his arms.

"The Origins of Alchemy, The Guide to Alchemy Formulas," Lilith read out the words on the cover of the book and clicked her tongue, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed Jericho using the Imperius Curse on me. Will read such purely academic books."

Moriarty lifted Jericho up with a levitating spell, albeit softly waking Jericho, and he rolled down from the air, winking excitedly: "Sir, you're out? I mean, too. Okay! I found some alchemy materials for you, but I don't mind if you study now, after all, even Nicole Lemay needs to rest, he can't develop it overnight, so you don't need to worry —I mean, we have plenty of time…”

He said a lot, Moriarty felt the real emotion from the words, he smiled and patted Jericho on the shoulder: "You are right, we have enough time to go on an... adventure?

Hogwarts is not perfect without a night tour, can we challenge Filch's new equipment? The kerosene lamp and new boots that Professor Nicole made for Filch, aha, Lilith suffered from that!

Lilith? "

Moriarty suddenly found that Lilith was gone. He looked behind the other bookshelves, and Lilith crept into the last row of bookshelves.

"Moriarty, come on!" she called softly, her emotions fluctuating.

When Moriarty and Jericho walked over, they understood that Gemma Farley fell asleep on several large books, all of which were profound magic books about alchemy.

"Why didn't you assign her a task?" Lilith said to Moriarty with some dissatisfaction, as if she was aggrieved for Gemma: "She must feel that you didn't take her seriously, she felt particularly aggrieved, but she Still willing to help you check the information."

Moriarty silently pulled out his cedar wand, made a small bed, and put Gemma on it—this was obviously not the right time to bring her back to the dormitory.

After doing all this, Moriarty walked out of the library, followed by Lilith and Jericho.

"Let's find the Headless Horseman." Moriarty finally made up his mind, everyone was working hard for him, and he couldn't turn a blind eye.

Even if the Headless Horseman is an ethereal thing, even if the Headless Horseman does not know alchemy at all, the first condition is to find it first.

Of course, Moriarty didn't let his guard down. He told Lilith and Jericho to tell him as soon as they found the Headless Horseman.

After returning to the castle, the three agreed to start from the murals on the first floor. After searching, they found nothing.

It was three o'clock when the three of them got together again, and the whole castle fell into a deep sleep, but the three people's spirits multiplied.

Lilith pointedly pointed out: "Moriarty, I think it's time to say the spell that Salazar left you to command the castle, the Headless Horseman is like it doesn't exist at all, and all the portraits don't mention it. !"

"Are you crazy?" Jericho said exaggeratedly: "Now? Three in the morning? Reciting a spell? Awakening all the teachers and students in the school and then asking Sijiao to deduct our college points and put us in confinement?"

"No, no, no spells." Moriarty shook his head and looked at Lilith. "Trust me, this is not something that can be solved by spells. Peeves said the Headless Horseman was wandering in the murals, and we were looking for All over the murals, it shows that it is hiding in a place where we will not be noticed."

"Where is the place that we won't notice?" Lilith pondered: "We have searched the auditorium hall, basement, Slytherin dungeon, every floor including the tower."

"I also went in the Gryffindor common room," Jericho explained with a smirk that he knew the password: "I went to the bathroom at noon and happened to hear the twin brothers talking about the password there. Dare to say they would have turned the school upside down if it wasn't for the bet that it happened."

"I answered the logical question posed by the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker and let me into the Ravenclaw common room despite being unhappy with my late-night visit." Moriarty added: "There was no headless horseman to be found there. traces."

"Very well, it seems that we have excluded all the locations!" Lilith felt that Peeves had lied to Moriarty, and said angrily, "So, where is the Headless Horseman?"

"If it really existed, where would he be hiding?" Jericho felt that Peeves was telling the truth.

Their conversation reminded Moriarty, his eyes lit up: "There is only one place in the entire castle that we haven't checked, the principal's office!"

"The headmaster's office?" Jericho's voice was shaking, and he felt his heart skip a beat: "We? Sneak into the office of the most powerful wizard in the world! Just tonight? Are you sure, sir?"

Moriarty didn't answer immediately, but his scorching eyes had already said it all, Lilith tugged at the bangs on her forehead: "Oh no, heck, we're going to the principal's office for a headless horseman that may not exist? -Listen to what this name is? Are you sure it wasn't Peeves just making up it to scare the little wizard of the night tour?"

Her tone was a bit like Professor McGonagall, but she completely forgot that she was only a second-year student, and she looked at Moriarty: "Seriously, why do we have to find it? Knowing that we have violated the More than a dozen school rules, and how do you know that Headmaster Dumbledore is not in the office?"

"I don't know now, but I can know." Moriarty walked towards the eighth floor, he walked so fast, Lilith and Jericho had to trot behind.

When they reached the entrance of the eighth floor, Moriarty whispered to the drip-mouth stone beast, "Paro? Paro!"

The stone beast woke up from sleep and seemed very angry, but when it saw Moriarty, it became gentle: "Oh Mr. Moriarty? Your forever loyal Paro..."

"Paro, is Dumbledore in there?" Moriarty interrupted Paro's tribute~www.wuxiamtl.com~ and asked directly.

"Well..." Paro pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head: "Although I can't divulge the whereabouts of the principal, since Mr. Moriarty asked, it doesn't matter if you say it, the principal is not in it, according to the portraits of the principals , Mr. Headmaster went to Hogsmeade."

"Okay, Paro, open the door for us." Moriarty nodded to Jericho and Lilith, their expressions relaxed.

However, Paro refused: "I'm sorry sir, no one can enter without a password."

"Then, tell me the password!"

"Okay sir, the password is 'raspberry jam'! Your most loyal Paro will always be at your service."

"Raspberry jam." Moriarty called out the command, and Paro jumped aside, the wall behind it cracked in half, allowing Moriarty and the three to pass a slowly upward spiral staircase hidden behind Enter the principal's office.

"What an old man who loves sweets," Lilith muttered, "Next time I don't know the password, I will give the names of all the sweets and give it a try. I can guarantee that I will be able to enter the office in a short time."

"That's a good idea," Jericho jokingly imitated Lilith's tone: "Why didn't I think of it before? By the way, you didn't notice your tone? Miss, you're a Slytherin! Hell, you Violated more than ten school rules!"

Moriarty ignored their complaints, he pushed open the door, and the moment he stepped into the office, he saw the mural of Phineas Nigellus Black. Of course, Principal Black was not in the mural, maybe he was going to the grid. 12 Remo Place, who cares.

But there is a silver light on the fresco, which is the light reflected from a pair of armor.
