The Big Boss Behind Hogwarts

Moriarty erected the Slytherin staff in the hole in the floor, and looked at Dumbledore: "Cast spells together to find the Headless Horseman."

"So it is," Dumbledore suddenly stood up and said with a smile, "Otherwise I will deduct ten points from Slytherin House for deliberately destroying the floor."

Although there was a smile on his face, Dumbledore quickly pulled out the elder wand. He pressed the wand on the crook of his index finger with his thumb, raised his arm, pointed the tip of the wand at the ceiling, and muttered.

Moriarty heard the syllables of some ancient spell, and Dumbledore's magic was like a burning furnace, glowing and cooling.

Also like a signal flare that was fired, Dumbledore's magic power scattered throughout the castle began to act.

On the other side, Moriarty held the staff with both hands and uttered a series of Parseltongue. The hissing sound frightened Professor Trelawney, and Diana also cast a surprised look.

It sounded familiar to Dumbledore, who recalled the events he had experienced with Moriarty.

Yes, Moriarty also said the same Parseltongue when announcing the Chamber of Secrets!

Then the translation is——

"Heir of Slytherin, offspring of the lion of Godric's Hollow, eaglet who received ancient wisdom, rose of Hufflepuff, please speak to the Big Four!"

A spell that awakens the original face of the castle.

In order to prevent the Headless Horseman from reacting, Moriarty ordered the stone piers, armor, ghosts, and portraits in the castle to move at a fairly fast speed.

The stone pier and the armor moved towards the gate of the castle, the ghosts entered the common room of their respective colleges, and the portraits all entered the murals in the corridor on the first floor, forming a long row!

They were puzzled by Moriarty's order, but Moriarty smiled with confidence.

"Peves said that only the Headless Horseman can defy my orders to the castle, so? He must have been hiding when I gave the order!"

Moriarty looked at Dumbledore with a gleam in his eyes.

"Let's start searching. At this time point, the other murals are empty, only the headless horseman is scurrying around."

"A very clever reverse operation, look at me." Dumbledore praised, as if he had found a competitor fifty years younger, he waved his wand cheerfully.

The elderberry wand draws out streaks of flames, which are gorgeous and dazzling, and the light expands at a speed visible to the naked eye, forming the light and shadow of a phoenix.

The appearance of Light and Shadow Phoenix is ​​roughly the same as that of Fox, but it is bigger and more gorgeous than Fox.

Every feather shone golden, flapping its wings and hovering over Dumbledore's head.

At the same time, in Moriarty's "God's View", Dumbledore's magic turned into little phoenixes, flying over the castle like a whirlwind of flames.

"Phoenix Huawu! Family magic of the Peverell family."

Dumbledore spoke lightly, and a desolate aura emanated from him. He raised his head and gazed at the Light and Shadow Phoenix with nostalgia, "I haven't used it for seventy years."

Moriarty's heart moved, Dumbledore has the blood of the Peverell family?

Speaking of the Peverell family, the most famous is the story of the Three Hallows, and Moriarty learned some unknown secrets from Salazar's notebook, for example, the Peverell family is always guarded by a phoenix. .

"Found it," said Dumbledore suddenly, smiling at Moriarty. "You would never have guessed where the Headless Horseman was hiding."

"Where are you hiding?" Diana couldn't wait to ask, she stood up, imposing, like a glamorous rose.

"Relax, Professor Diana, relax." Dumbledore said quickly, "Before we contact him, we can't characterize the Dull Horseman as a villain. Maybe he will be the key to solving a series of incidents."

"Crack!"

Moriarty drew his staff from the hole with an impatient clatter, and shot Dumbledore a "speak up" look.

Dumbledore thought it was funny. He shook his head slightly, looked at a certain place in the castle, and said in a deep voice, "Sir Cadogan's mural. The Headless Horseman is there now."

"Sir Cadogan?"

Diana adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses and leaned gently against the wall near the office door.

She knew a lot of secrets about Hogwarts, and it was obvious that this strange name hid another secret.

"Moriarty, what do you know about Sir Cadogan?" Dumbledore walked to the bookcase.

"His mural is hung on the seventh floor of the castle. Whenever a little wizard passes by the painting, he will yell for someone to fight him."

Moriarty spoke of Sir Cadogan in his eyes, and finally made a conclusive comment: "Sir Cadogan is not a bad-hearted man, but he loves duels and has a hot temper."

"That's right."

Dumbledore took out a diary from the bookcase, the cover was yellowed, and it looked like it was old.

"In the eyes of most people, Sir Cadogan is a stupid guy, but few people know that he lived in the same era as Merlin. He and Merlin are friends."

Moriarty and Diana looked at each other, seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

The story of Merlin has always been a legend, and now there is a living portrait of Merlin's friend!

Although Merlin's own mural is also hung on the wall of Hogwarts, wizards who have studied Merlin clearly understand that the mural is not Merlin himself, but a portrait magic of Merlin.

As if seeing what they were thinking, Dumbledore opened the diary and placed it in front of them.

A sonorous male voice sounded.

"According to the information we have searched, the wizarding world generally believes that Sir Cadogan is a member of the famous Knights of the Round Table!

Although he is little known, and he was promoted by virtue of his friendship with Merlin.

But apparently, all Muggle versions of Arthurian legends exclude him. Oh Muggles? hehe.

But the wizard version of the story retains Sir Cadogan's deeds with Lancelot, Bedivere and Sir Palzifar.

In the stories he is irascible and heroic to the point of stupidity, but he is one of those little people with a good heart. "

The male voice is rich and steady, with a demagogic power, which seems to be able to bring the audience into Sir Cadogan's adventure stories.

But the male voice reminded Moriarty of the deep contempt in his tone when he spoke of Muggles.

It can't be Grindelwald, can it?

Moriarty suddenly had a bold idea: Dumbledore and Grindelwald also searched for Merlin's secret when they were young.

This passage is the notes they recorded—"Wow", Dumbledore turned over a page, even after many years, the parchment paper has not lost its hardness.

The suspected Grindelwald's voice sounded again.

"Ser Cadogan is best known for his duel with the Betsy on the Wye.

You've seen a biped, haven't you, Dumbledore?

That kind of dragon-like creature has long been entrenched in the counties of southwestern England.

In the first duel, the dragon devoured Ser Cadogan's steed, bit off his wand, and melted his sword and visor with his breath of fire.

The steam from the melting helmet blocked Sir Cadogan's view, and he managed to save his life.

But he didn't run away. Instead, he stumbled to a nearby meadow, grabbed a short, round pony that was grazing, jumped on it, and galloped back to the biped dragon with it in his hand. Only the broken wand remained, ready for heroic sacrifice.

The dragon lowered its terrible head to swallow Sir Cadogan and the pony in one gulp, but the broken and useless wand pierced its tongue, igniting the gas that rose from its maw, It was fried to pieces.

Older wizards still use the proverb 'I'll take Cadogan's pony' to mean 'I'll turn the tide with all my might'

Haha, Sir Cadogan's wand must be blackthorn wood with a giant's beard, blackthorn wood is flammable, and giants have a hot temper.

Elderly wizards might as well hope they have a handy wand! So have you made up your mind to find the Deathly Hallows, Dumbledore? "
