The right way to attack Moriarty

Chapter 13 On the Importance of Reading the Newspaper

When Big Lestrange gave Jim Moriarty the Chimera eggs, Jim Moriarty was nestling at home obediently, holding a copy of the Daily Prophet in his hand, pouting Looking at the latest store introduction, it looks very cute.

"Oh, for my cousin's sake, you actually sent it to me, cousin?"

"Merlin, just tell me, I'll go and get it myself."

Jim Moriarty jumped up from the sofa, startled.The Daily Prophet was spread out on the table, Big Lestrange glanced at it, the newly opened Boggarts in Diagon Alley occupied the first page, and a tall wizard was transfiguring them He cursed, and soon, the boggart with teeth and claws turned into a black creature with only a hood.

Big Lestrange turned his head without interest.

"The egg of the Chimera you want," Big Lestrange handed the box in his hand to Jim Moriarty, and took out a long piece of parchment from his bosom. "This is how to hatch a Chimaera, and the precautions for raising a Chimaera."

Jim Moriarty hurriedly took the box with a respectful expression, not at all aggressive as he was when he quarreled with Leta Lestrange.

"No matter who you plan to use it to curry favor with, I hope you will treat it kindly." Big Lestrange said, "Every Chimera egg is backed by the blood of more than a dozen wizards. Lily Ta may have told you that there are a lot of Chimera eggs in the warehouse of the Lestrange family, but I hope you know that every time we get a Chimaera egg, we have to pay a huge price .”

"Okay," said Jim Moriarty, still cute and well-behaved.

Big Lestrange stared at Jim rather strangely for a while. Jim was more obedient, with a very innocent and innocent expression. Big Lestrange didn't say anything, but told him again and again not to go out recently, especially Don't cause trouble.

Jim Moriarty continued to pretend to be obedient, and then waited for Big Lestrange to finish his reprimand and leave on his front foot. Jim Moriarty put a Chimera egg on his back foot, and came out terribly. the door.

Where to go?

The Hog's Head, where Newt Scamander works.

Pig's Head Bar.

Bartender Robin Luke was making flaming Icelandic green tea for an adult witch. Newt Scamander came out of the changing room and yawned lazily.

I've been really tired recently. I spent a lot of effort a few days ago, and finally solved the curse of the bookcase.

Bartending during the day and going home at night to ponder the tomes, Newt Scamander hadn't had a good night's sleep for almost three days.

Fortunately, Helen has been away from home for some unknown reason recently, otherwise Newt would have to be disciplined for his topsy-turvy living habits.

Speaking of which, Theseus seems to have not come back for a long time.

Newt Scamander nonchalantly mixes Hog's Head's newest drink, a hot butterbeer with matcha panna cotta, for a few underage wizards, wondering when Theseus will next be home.

Since Theseus graduated, officially entered the British Ministry of Magic, and became an Auror, he has been fighting on the front line all day, fighting against evil forces who don’t know where. He can see it two or three times a year, except for Christmas. long vacation.

Newt Scamander sometimes felt that his brother probably didn't work for the British Ministry of Magic, but was sent to the American West to roam the wilderness, and he was still exiled, and he couldn't return for a while. come to the country.

There are quite a few adult wizards in the wizard town, and there are also many young wizards with older brothers at home, but I have never seen anyone whose elder brother is so busy all year round.

Newt Scamander passed the matcha panna cotta hot butter beer to the little wizards at the bar, his mind was still wandering about other people's brothers.

The one at the Moriarty’s next door is called Amoti, and he belongs to Amos. He’s in the same grade as Theseus. Although it’s not the same academy, they both work in the Ministry of Magic in the end. Look at the elder brother in his family. He goes to work twice and spends the rest of the time at home. Then look at his brother, who takes two vacations a year and spends the rest of the time somewhere. The gap, tsk tsk, is at the Ministry of Magic. Why is there such a big gap? Woolen cloth.

"Hey, have you read today's Daily Prophet? A new store has opened in Diagon Alley."

The underage wizards on the bar got together and chatted one after another.

Today is the Hogwarts Open Day. Little wizards who are in the third grade or above can come to the Wizarding Town for a whole day after getting their parents' approval. These are probably Hogwarts students.

"I've seen it. It's quite interesting. They're all Boggarts." A little wizard took a sip of the hot butterbeer with matcha panna cotta, mumbled indistinctly with a straw in his mouth.

Boggart?anything fun?Stupid and dull, Newt Scamander yawned boredly, lifted the beer barrel with magic, and made the first cup of the day-for Merlin's sake, who knows which cup it is- —The latest flavor of Matcha Panna Cotta Hot Butterbeer.

A few little wizards were still talking about today's Daily Prophet. Newt Scamander thought boredly that the Daily Prophet in their house should still be lying on the window sill. Helen didn't know whether it was early or late these days. Anyway, she still didn’t come back at all, anyway, Newt hasn’t seen her for three days, and as for the Daily Prophet, oh, for Merlin’s sake, it’s Helen and Theseus’ Daily Prophet, not his Newt’s .

Helen and Theseus have been very busy recently, and he is also happy not to read the Daily Prophet. In fact, he has not read the Daily Prophet for three days. Who cares about that, Newt thought, he just wants to know , Why can dementors induce his way of thinking and make him have some completely different ideas.

A chubby little witch tightened the red and yellow scarf around her neck—Newt thought, a little lion—the little witch showed a look of eagerness: "Then let's go there and have a look?"

A male wizard from Ravenclaw College, obviously older than this group of young wizards, rejected the little witch's suggestion: "No, Katie, we have to buy some stationery and candies later, there is not enough time .”

With khaki—forgive me for using this term to describe Hufflepuff, Newt pretended to apologize insincerely, when this short boy was talking, Newt always had a groundhog in his mind, Smack your lips—yes, this Hufflepuff boy is smacking your mouth: "Oh, Jerry, it's rare that Katie wants to go, let's go together, besides, I read in the Daily Prophet that there Boggarts can also turn into dementors, we can rent one, five Galleons for an hour, it’s not expensive, we can just practice summoning guards together.”, Practicing summoning guards?

Newt Scamander paused as he stirred the beer. Maybe he needed a boggart, too.

After all, not every time he encounters a dementor, he can get away with it like last time.

Before that, Newt Scamander glanced at the newspaper shelf aside. For Merlin's sake, he needed to find a copy of today's Daily Prophet.

Jim Moriarty arrived at the Hog's Head just in time to see Newt Scamander open the door.

Jim Moriarty lingered for a long time between shouting-being chased away by sneering words, and sneaking up-to be found-being driven away by sneering words, both of which were not very good choices, and finally decided , Let’s talk secretly for a while first.

Jim Moriarty, carrying a Chimera egg and a stack of parchment, followed Newt Scamander cautiously.

Newt Scamander frowned and said nothing.

The aging agent increases not only age, but also magic power. The real Newt Scamander is now seeing and hearing, and he discovered it as soon as Jim followed up.

It's just that Jim Moriarty didn't intend to do anything, and he couldn't drive people away as soon as he came up.

How sick you have to be to do this.

Bogut Store.

Dementor haunted house.

Newt Scamander glanced at the sign.

What the hell?

Dementors?

Azkaban is out of business?

All the Aurors in the Ministry of Magic are dead?

Dementors can be bought and sold freely?

Newt Scamander looked up suspiciously, looking at the signboard again.

Probably in order to highlight the creativity of the haunted house, the entire signboard is made of black as the background color, a weird black color dotted with a little bright red, bloody and terrifying, which makes people feel cold for no reason.

The dementors and boggarts on the signboard appear in reincarnation, and the whole signboard has been in a strange and mysterious state.

Newt Scamander couldn't help shivering, his right hand tightly gripping the wand in his hand. This feeling, Newt thought, was exactly the same as the remnant of the dementor he met that day.

No, I'm going to tell my brother, or any Auror.

There is definitely something wrong with this store.

Newt Scamander took a quick step back.

Jim Moriarty was unaware and collided directly with Newt Scamander.

"Oops," Jim Moriarty let out a scream, and the Chimera egg that had been in his arms jumped out of his arms, spun around three times, and landed on Newt Scamander's feet.

After a while, the egg of the Chimera beast sneaked back two steps and rubbed against Jim Moriarty.

"Hey, look, what kind of egg is this? It's so cute~" an underage little witch said to her companion with a smile, "You'll know who is its owner before it hatches. I want to buy one."

The crowd quickly became noisy. Newt Scamander glanced at the Chimera egg, then at Jim Moriarty, not caring about the very rare and rare A-level ban To trade items, he quickly took Jim's hand and turned to leave.
