The Big Boss Behind Hogwarts

Chapter 159 Lockhart's New Book (please subscribe please subscribe)

Early mornings in England were always shrouded in thick fog. In the office of the Minister of Magic, Millicent Bagnor sat on a velvet armchair, waiting for the assistants and advisors to deliver the damned document to her.

In the early hours of the morning, Bagno received a roaring letter from the director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation.

The soon-to-retire chief told her that the British Ministry of Magic had been sued against the International Confederation of Wizards and the European Wizarding Association.

Along with the defendant was Hogwarts' second-year student, Moriarty Slytherin.

The British Ministry of Magic has been accused of sending wizards into French territory without going through any normal diplomatic channels.

Moriarty Slytherin was accused of using black magic to freeze France's national treasure, the Eiffel Tower.

After the roaring letter was burned, Bagno immediately received a letter of resignation from the director.

Barty Crouch is the default next director, taking office next year. Now it seems that he has to go to work early.

But that's not the point!

Lucius Malfoy's body hadn't been buried yet, and the British Ministry of Magic hadn't asked the French Ministry of Magic for an explanation. Instead, Feng Wei Capet, the villain, filed a complaint first?

As for the Eiffel Tower being frozen?

Bagno just wanted to say that there is such a good thing?

She dared to say that the attitude of British wizards on this matter is absolutely welcome.

If Moriarty really did this, the people will regard Moriarty as a hero!

There is one problem though.

Bagno frowned. She knew Feng Wei Capet, who was tough, scheming, and never did things that were not sure.

So did Moriarty freeze the Eiffel Tower?

Until now, Bagno has not come to a conclusion, so she asked her assistants and consultants to investigate the disturbances in France in the past month.

"Knock, knock." The office door rang, and two assistants and five consultants walked in. Each of them was holding a large stack of materials, and there were a few thick books floating behind them.

Bagno couldn't believe it, "There are so many accidents in France in one month?"

"Believe me, there are more accidents than these." The assistant was sweating profusely.

Bagno took a deep breath, it seems that he has to work overtime again today.

At this time, another assistant ran into the office panting, holding up a newspaper in his hand: "The latest "Paris Times"! On the front page, Feng Wei Capet announced on behalf of the Ministry of Magic that the abnormal state of the Eiffel Tower is not Naturally, it is a phenomenon, but it is the black magic of an English wizard!"

Bagno took the newspaper and quickly glanced at it, before dropping it on the desk with a "slap".

"Does Feng Wei want to go to war? Look at what he describes between us and the Ministry of Magic?" Bagnor was shaking with anger, his head twitching migraine.

That being said, she had no desire to go to war with French wizards at all.

I beg Merlin to let her go, and stop letting fate torment her.

Her political career is coming to an end, and she will resign in half a year. For the remaining period in power, she just wants to get through it smoothly.

At present, it seems that this wish cannot be realized.

"Minister! Minister—"

A staff member of the Ministry of Magic's Public Press Office ran over, out of breath, but not forgetting to wave the pale yellow newspaper in his hand.

Bagno sat on the chair discouraged, needless to say she knew it was another troublesome matter.

However, the wizard happily put the newspaper on the desk and said, "Look, my Minister, look! Mr. Lockhart held a new book launch in Paris. How amazing he is!"

Bagno didn't react for a while, so what about Lockhart?

Wait, Paris, France?

She flung herself at the newspaper and read it aloud.

"FRONT PAGE IN THIS Gazette - Gilderoy Lockhart has landed in Paris, France, with his new book Dancing with Vampires at the Eiffel Tower!

In the second edition, Mr. Lockhart declared that wizards could find the answers to all their questions in his new book.

We may be able to find clues that the Eiffel Tower has become an ice sculpture.

The third edition, "Dancing with Vampires at the Eiffel Tower", is on sale, and this newspaper, as the sole French distributor appointed by Mr. Lockhart, enjoys preferential discount rights.

The original price of the new novel is 7 Galleons, but now it only costs 4 Galleons and 16 Sickles!

The fourth edition, an exclusive interview with Mr Lockhart, will take place today at 12 noon on the Rue des Roses in York, France.

Fifth edition, fans flocked to Paris and complained that Mr Lockhart hadn't informed them in advance,"

There were several editions of this pornographic tabloid, all of which were Lockhart's news. Bagno read it word for word twice, took a few deep breaths, and tried to keep his tone as calm as possible.

"According to the newspaper, Gilderoy Lockhart was jealous of a vampire, and then a conflict broke out between the two sides. Their magical battle caused the abnormal shape of the Eiffel Tower?"

"Hmm..."Lee Siu" is just a little-known tabloid in the French magic world. Because the head of the newspaper is a half-blood wizard, it was once suppressed by the "Paris Times."

The clerk weighed his words and explained, so that his minister could understand the ins and outs as soon as possible.

"I think Mr. Lockhart must have found the Thought on purpose, in order to compete with the Paris Times."

At the end, he added his own opinion.

Bagno was indifferent. As the Minister of Magic, she still had a certain understanding of Lockhart's details.

Lockhart is good at marketing works, but was he really the one who released the magic that froze the Eiffel Tower?

"Buy his new book back immediately."

"Okay, Minister, I'll go right away! But you may have to wait a while, because the place of sale is in Paris! I suggest you have breakfast first."

At the same time, the "Daily Prophet" reported on Lockhart's new book, as well as the air battle between the two French newspapers.

The young wizards at Hogwarts finished reading the Daily Prophet at the dinner table, full of respect for Lockhart.

"Sir," said Marcus in a voice only he and Moriarty could hear, "that's what you sent Lockhart to France for?"

Moriarty put down the newspaper, his eyes dark.

"It's time for Lockhart to step up."

He closed his eyes and tapped his index finger on the table lightly.

Sending Lockhart to France to finish off the Hogwarts Purebloods was a plan he had made before he decided to go to Paris.

It's just that because Hogwarts was controlled by Dracula, he had to send Lockhart out in advance.

To do so is too suspicious.

Every wizard at Hogwarts knew that Moriarty had traveled to France with 35 purebloods.

But Lockhart stood up and said that he was responsible for a series of events that happened in France, and even wrote a novel to prove himself.

It's simply self-inflicted!

Dumbledore must be beginning to suspect Moriarty's relationship with Lockhart.

But it doesn't matter, Moriarty has a lot of ways to dispel Dumbledore's suspicion, or let Dumbledore reduce his suspicion to a minimum.

Dumbledore's suspicion alone cannot affect Lockhart's reputation—with the promotion of the new book, Lockhart will soon gain a lot of popularity. This time, even the pure-blood family may owe him a favor !

Lockhart's status in the British wizarding world can go one step further...

For the British pure blood, exterminate the Qumran vampires, and freeze the Eiffel Tower.

One of the three things is enough to make the British wizards cheer, but when the three things are concentrated on Lockhart, what happens?

Moriarty didn't know what was going to happen, because he hadn't told Lockhart how and how it would end, and now that he was in a foreign country, it was all up to Lockhart to do whatever he wanted.

Obviously, Lockhart chose what he does best, writing.

He picked up the shorthand quill and wrote down his half-truth and half-fake stories in words. At the press conference at 12 noon, can Lockhart play perfectly and settle the friction between France and Britain?

To ensure Lockhart was successful, Moriarty called out the system.

"System, list the magic that I can redeem to enhance the strength of others!"

Thanks to Yunli Qiaofan for the reward, thank you~
