Moriarty learned that Yakei Go planned a Blood Banquet during the Third Task and suspected Habane Hotaka was pursuing a secret mission at Hogwarts. He had Lockhart implant a memory of the Room of Requirement into Habane Hotaka, setting up a trap for Yakei Go and a chance to clear Lockhart’s and Jericho’s names.

• Moriarty discovered that Yakei Go’s Blood Banquet was scheduled for the Third Task and that Habane Hotaka had been contacting foreign students while concealing important memories.
• Moriarty stunned Habane Hotaka again and told Jericho they needed to keep him present without letting him report that Moriarty had exposed his identity.
• Moriarty called Lockhart to erase Habane Hotaka’s memory of their meeting and asked him to implant a fabricated memory instead.
• Moriarty led Lockhart into the Room of Requirement, then helped him open Habane Hotaka’s mind so Lockhart could implant the memory with his new Spell, Fantasy Awakening.
• Moriarty planned to use the false memory to uncover Habane Hotaka’s purpose and bring down his Japanese faction, while presenting Lockhart and Jericho as heroes deserving Orders of Merlin.
• Moriarty sent Lockhart and Jericho away with Tokugawa and prepared to wake Habane Hotaka, intending to make him believe the implanted memories.

Moriarty convinced Habane Hotaka that their encounter in the Room of Requirement had been uneventful and sent invitations to seven girls to gather there. By 7:30 that evening, the invited girls began arriving at the Seventh Floor corridor.

• Moriarty woke Habane Hotaka, who remembered the Room of Requirement and confirmed that Moriarty had fulfilled their agreement.
• Moriarty misled Habane Hotaka about what had happened, suggested that something might be inside the Headmaster's head or that a Horcrux was in the Room of Requirement, and Habane Hotaka left with Kuno.
• Moriarty returned to the Slytherin Dungeon, confirmed to Jericho that Habane Hotaka believed him, and made peach-pink invitations for Lilith, Diana, Tonks, Pheobe, Violet, Penelope, and Gemma.
• Moriarty planned the gathering to prepare protection against dangers he expected in the Third Task and arranged for Poseidon to deliver the invitations.
• The girls reacted to their invitations in different ways, and by 7:30 that evening the Seventh Floor corridor had grown lively.

Penelope, Gemma, Tonks, Diana, Pheobe, and Violet gathered after receiving Moriarty’s invitations, while Lilith watched from concealment. When Lilith tried to leave, Moriarty caught her and asked where she thought she was going.

• Tonks, Penelope, and Gemma met in the corridor and teased one another before Diana appeared and joined them.
• Pheobe emerged from her Disillusionment Charm, and Diana joked that she had learned it to sneak off on dates with Moriarty.
• Violet arrived looking for Moriarty so she could sleep, and Tonks pressed her for details about their relationship.
• Lilith watched the group invisibly, disliked seeing Violet among them, and decided she needed to become stronger so she could keep Moriarty to herself.
• Moriarty caught Lilith as she turned to leave, lifted her chin, and asked why she was going when she had accepted his invitation.

Moriarty gathered the girls in the Room of Requirement, fed them, and gave them enchanted rings to protect them during the dangerous Third Task. When the girls insisted on facing the danger with him, he conjured a huge blanket and proposed they spend the night together.

• Moriarty brought the girls into the Room of Requirement and served them a feast prepared by the House-elves.
• The girls teased Lilith and Moriarty about spending the night together, while Violet mistook the gathering for a celebration of her first night with him.

• Moriarty explained how the rings could protect the contestants and send them to the Chamber of Secrets, while the girls in the stands could use them for protection.
• Diana, Lilith, and the other girls refused to leave Moriarty alone in danger, so Moriarty conjured a huge blanket and invited them to spend the night together.

Moriarty distracted the women from joining the fight, then spent the meal flirting and sharing candy with them. He assigned Diana and Tonks to accompany him for the night, while Violet joined him in his arms.

Moriarty reassured Narcissa Malfoy after she revealed that Draco and three other children had disappeared. He promised to bring Draco back and make Narcissa his wife, leaving to face the new mystery before the Third Task.

• Moriarty reminded the girls to follow his preparations for the Third Task, while Lilith worried about his danger and went to the Library to consider how to conceal her Magic Power.
• Moriarty examined the Forbidden Forest and Black Lake as possible Third Task venues before Narcissa Malfoy ran to him in tears.
• Narcissa Malfoy told Moriarty that Draco had been missing for two days and that three other children from School Governors' families had disappeared, while two Greengrass children were found unconscious.
• Moriarty comforted Narcissa Malfoy, promised to bring Draco back, and asked her to prepare to become Slytherin's wife.

Moriarty investigated the disappearance of four School Governors’ children and concluded that they had been kidnapped from their dormitories by someone inside the Castle. He narrowed the search to clues involving the victims’ age and pure-blood status, but the culprit and motive remained unknown.

• Fudge left the Great Hall after asking Moriarty, Dumbledore, and the visiting headmasters to resolve the disappearances.
• Leon told Moriarty that the children were last seen at dinner and had been escorted to their dormitories, leading Moriarty to conclude they were abducted inside the Castle.
• Moriarty suspected someone might have impersonated Fudge with Polyjuice Potion, and Dumbledore sent Fawkes to help Leon find him.
• Moriarty noted that the Greengrass sisters were the only School Governors’ children who had not been taken and asked why the kidnapper had spared them.
• Moriarty observed that the four missing children were ten-year-old pure-bloods, while Astoria was eight, then asked the School Governors to consider related magic, objects, and enemies.

After four children vanished, Moriarty and the School Governors considered whether Voldemort was responsible, but Moriarty insisted the culprit was already inside Hogwarts. He began investigating the Greengrass sisters and asked Mr. Greengrass about his family's bloodline curse.

• Narcissa Malfoy recalled a diary in her home, prompting Moriarty to suspect Voldemort's Horcrux and consider whether Voldemort had taken the children.
• Narcissa said she suspected Voldemort, alarming the School Governors, Karkaroff, and Fudge, while Moriarty and Dumbledore remained calm.
• Karkaroff argued that Voldemort was dead, and Moriarty explained that no outsider could enter Hogwarts and that the culprit was within the Castle.
• Moriarty focused on why the Greengrass sisters had been left behind and privately asked Mr. Greengrass about his family's bloodline curse.

After realizing the missing children were likely targeted as wizards rather than for their blood status, Moriarty warned Dumbledore that the kidnapper would strike again. They brought the Third Task forward to gather everyone at Hogwarts, and it began that afternoon.

• Moriarty told Mr. Greengrass that he could not currently cure the Greengrass family’s Bloodline Curse, then reasoned that the kidnapper was targeting wizards themselves.

• Dumbledore organized the professors and other staff while Moriarty and Leon coordinated the students; all twenty-five contestants felt well and the students approved the change.
• Dumbledore arranged a lavish lunch and nutritious meals for the contestants, and the Third Task began at three in the afternoon.

The contestants learned that the final would take place in Magic Canyon, a strategic competition involving magical towers, treasures, and two boxes. Moriarty recognized that the hidden Dark Rules allowed betrayal and revealed Goblins and Centaurs as additional forces, leaving him confident the final suited him.

• The contestants met their relatives before returning to the Castle, where Moriarty and Violet were left without family to greet them.
• Professor McGonagall gave each contestant an incomplete parchment, and the five contestants from each school combined theirs to reveal the Magic Canyon rules.
• Moriarty learned that contestants had to bring both carnation-wrapped boxes to one base, while towers, treasures, and merchants offered ways to earn Magic Coins.
• Jericho discovered hidden Dark Rules stating that teammates could betray one another, Goblins would attack opposing forces, and destroying every opposing tower would summon three Centaurs.
• Moriarty recognized the deeper implications of the rules and suspected Habane Hotaka was involved.

Moriarty suspected Habane Hotaka was using Kuno to stir up resentment over the final’s format. After the headmasters gave Hogwarts a bye based on its Second Task score, Moriarty offered to have his team face all five teams at once.

• Kuno questioned Professor McGonagall about how the five teams would be paired, prompting contestants to worry about who would receive a bye.
• Moriarty suspected Kuno was acting under Habane Hotaka’s control and that the Immortality Organization was disrupting the Third Task.
• Professor McGonagall led the contestants through the Castle to the Forbidden Forest, where spectators had gathered to watch the final.
• Headmaster Dawn announced that Hogwarts earned a bye based on its 104 Second Task points, while the other four teams would compete for places in a Triple Threat Match.
• The contestants protested Hogwarts receiving the bye, and Moriarty raised his hand to propose that his team go 1v5.

Moriarty’s proposal for the Hogwarts Team to face four opponents became a five-team battle after Dumbledore received a letter and the Forbidden Forest’s Magic Canyon transformed into a pentagram arena. The teams entered the grounds, while Habane Hotaka worried that an unknown third party might be interfering with BOSS Yakei Go’s plan.

• Moriarty silenced Kuno’s objections and asked the headmasters to approve his proposal for the finals.
• Firenze delivered Dumbledore a letter, after which Dumbledore approved the plan with changes and Magic Canyon transformed into a pentagram-shaped arena.

• The representatives approved the new tournament, and Dumbledore and Karkaroff announced the teams’ entry order.
• Moriarty led the Hogwarts Team into the Forbidden Forest and onto a transport platform that carried them to Magic Canyon as the other teams followed.
• Habane Hotaka reflected on his efforts to undermine the Hogwarts Team and feared that a third party in the Forbidden Forest had disrupted BOSS Yakei Go’s plan.

Moriarty assigned his companions lanes in Magic Canyon while he took the jungle, where he studied the arena’s runes and collected treasures by using magic and bargaining with magical creatures. He left the Ramora’s pond with gold and a single-use slowing orb, while wondering when the jungle rewards would respawn.

Moriarty formed a pact with Durmstrang and Ilvermorny to eliminate Mahoutokoro School of Magic before they competed for victory. He raided Mahoutokoro’s jungle for treasures, while Kuno later angered a Niffler by trying to bribe it with just one Knut.

• Moriarty told Brian that all five teams’ jungle areas had the same six kinds of magical creatures, including Horned Serpents, Acromantulas, and Ramoras.
• Moriarty deduced the teams’ positions, then agreed with Hubble to cooperate with Durmstrang against Mahoutokoro School of Magic and invited Pheobe and Brian to join them.
• Moriarty shared jungle creature information with Tonks and the other girls, left them useful items, and headed into Mahoutokoro’s jungle.

• Moriarty bribed a Niffler with an emerald to obtain gold coins and a mirror that detected hidden players in the brush.
• When Kuno later tried to bribe the Niffler with one Knut, it tore a large piece from his robes, and he left cursing.

Moriarty exchanged his Leprechaun gold but still could not afford the merchant’s items, then challenged Alastor Moody in the bottom-lane jungle. After Moody unleashed a barrage of powerful spells that Moriarty studied and countered, Moriarty prepared to defeat him with Slytherin magic.

• Moriarty exchanged 800 Leprechaun gold coins for 80 magic gold coins, but the merchant said his 240 total magic gold coins were not enough to buy anything.

• Moody fired a Killing Curse and then unleashed more than thirty destructive spells, while Moriarty studied and memorized his Dark Magic.
• After Moody exhausted himself without breaking Moriarty’s defenses, Moriarty announced that he would defeat him with Slytherin’s Ice Snake Dance.

Moriarty defeated Moody and obtained a Tower Takedown Horn, then reunited with Jericho and learned that Roman guarded a choice of movement-speed rewards. As Moriarty went to check on the middle lane, he heard that Mahoutokoro had destroyed a Beauxbatons tower, leaving him uneasy about the battle’s progress.

• Moriarty knocked Moody unconscious, and a Centaur carried him away while Moriarty claimed the Unicorn horn Moody had left behind.
• Jericho destroyed an Ilvermorny tower, earned a bag of Leprechaun gold by telling the Leprechauns a story, and learned of the alliance against Mahoutokoro.
• Moriarty told Jericho to betray the allied teams once they gained an overwhelming advantage, and Jericho agreed to keep distracting Kuno.

• Moriarty grew concerned that Michelle had not delivered her message to Jericho, then heard that Izumi Brothers had destroyed a Beauxbatons tower.

Moriarty led the Hogwarts Team’s push through Mahoutokoro’s mid lane, destroying two defensive towers with the Tower Takedown Horn. As the second tower fell, Mahoutokoro’s Kuno Jogo destroyed Beauxbatons’ tower in the bottom lane.
