Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

"I didn't know it at first, but just now... Professor McGonagall has told me."

He raised his eyes, looked at Wade worriedly, and asked, "So it's true? Remus... turned into a werewolf in public and attacked passers-by?"

Vader said, "He transformed in the streets of Hogsmeade, but it is unlikely that anyone saw him—"

The vampire who saw that scene was probably being hunted by Dumbledore, so it doesn’t count.

Those vampires still wanted to put this matter in the newspaper, but Wade had been paying attention to the Daily Prophet these days, and everything was calm in the newspaper. People were not even willing to pay attention to the three fugitives.

However, Minister Fudge actually issued a law prohibiting government officials from accepting interviews from Liu Jing, which is said to have caused opposition from many people.

When Wade saw the news, he sent a message to Colliver, who was equivalent to the director of the TV station in Marchionne, asking them to send a letter to the Ministry of Magic in a few days requesting an interview with Madam Umbridge.

After a pause, Wade said, "And he didn't attack passers-by. Hagrid was nearby at the time, and he subdued the mad Remus. Dumbledore arrived soon, and no one was injured in Hogsmeade."

"But...how did he suddenly transform?" Harry said worriedly, "I asked Hermione, and she said it was not consistent with the characteristics of a werewolf."

Vader knew that Lupin must have been plotted against, but before he knew the reason, he did not speak out anything. He just said:

"Trust Professor Dumbledore - he's investigating and may soon tell us why."

Harry nodded and was silent for a long moment before he said:

"I just hope Remus can recover as soon as possible... I asked Professor McGonagall to let me visit him, but the professor didn't allow it..."

"I also heard that Remus was not sent to St. Mungo's either... Professor McGonagall just said that there are professionals helping with the treatment, but I don't know who it is..."

Seeing his expression, Vader fell silent.

Harry still admired that person as a very powerful therapist. If he knew that it was actually Professor Snape, whom he hated the most, he would probably think that Lupin had been killed, right?

I heard that in the Potions class yesterday, Professor Snape scolded all the first-year Gryffindor students until they cried, and even his favorite Slytherin was not spared...

Vader wisely swallowed the news.

……

It was not until noon on Sunday that Wade finally received the message from Dumbledore.

He immediately rushed to the principal's office, and before he could knock on the door, he saw the oak door being pushed open.

"boom!"

The wooden door hit the wall with a sound like an explosion.

Snape strode out with a dark face. His terrifying eyes looked like he wanted to kill someone. Even when he saw Wade, his anger did not ease. He just snorted coldly, threw off his black robe that was blown up by the wind with one hand, and stepped onto the spiral staircase.

He couldn't even wait for the stairs to slowly turn down, and went downstairs quickly with "thump thump thump".

Wade put down his hand in greeting and knocked on the open door.

"Come in, Vader."

Dumbledore said.

When Wade walked in, he saw the headmaster looking exhausted, as if he had just come back from outside. The gray cloak hanging next to him was a little torn, and there was dust on his long white beard.

Dumbledore did not give himself a [Clean Up], but took out a box of lemon Sherbet from the cabinet and enthusiastically invited Wade: "Would you like one?"

Vader shook his head: "Thank you, but I don't like it. It's a bit too sweet."

"What a shame, this is my favorite Muggle sweet."

Dumbledore said, taking back the candy box and putting one in his mouth.

He squinted his eyes slightly, giving people a feeling of enjoyment.

Wade couldn't help but smile, and then he saw the principal waving his hand, and a glass of pomegranate juice appeared in front of Wade. After thanking him, he stood up and took a sip without rushing to ask any more questions.

Seeing Dumbledore, his originally anxious mood calmed down.

Later, treacle tarts, molasses tarts, toffee puddings and other sweets were added to the table, filling up the long table.

Dumbledore considered carefully for a while before carefully choosing a treacle tart as his first dessert of the day, and once again recommended his favorite delicacy to Wade.

This time Wade did not refuse. He took a pudding - among all the food on the table, this was the only one that was not very sweet.

Dumbledore took a bite and then said with emotion: "I'm sorry, it's just that when I'm with Severus, his expression is as if I'm taking poison, which makes me lose my appetite."

"You must have had a very hard time these past few days, right?" Wade said with understanding, and then asked curiously, "Did those vampires cause you much trouble?"

"Vampires are nothing, it's the people behind them who are the trouble."

It was unknown what Dumbledore was thinking of, and his expression looked a little sharp for a moment, and then returned to normal after a few seconds.

"Good news." He said with a smile, "Remus has regained his sanity and should be back to normal by tomorrow afternoon. Then, you can call Harry to visit him in the school infirmary."

Chapter 359 Organization

"Great." Wade breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Has Professor Snape figured out a solution? What exactly is that thing that forced Remus to transform?"

"That's the bad news - let me see where to begin."

Dumbledore lowered his head and ate another piece of pie, as if he was organizing his words, or thinking about which part to tell him.

"Professor." Before he spoke, Wade reminded him, "If you don't want to tell me the truth, I can also find a way to investigate it myself."

"Well, you'll soon find out..."

Dumbledore said vaguely, and then said: "You know, Wade, the wizarding world and the Muggle world live on the same land, but they are two completely isolated worlds."

"We wizards do our best to hide ourselves. Any violation of the Statute of Secrecy will be severely punished. This is a protection for us and Muggles."

"Many people have always believed that, with the exception of a very small number of Muggles, most Muggles know nothing about our world - maybe this is true in the UK, but in another country across the ocean, the truth is different."

Vader frowned: "You mean...America?"

"Yes, America - where Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is located."

Dumbledore had forgotten to eat dessert. He frowned and said gloomily, "In the 18th century, a very serious leak occurred in the United States."

As Dumbledore told the story, a piece of history that Wade knew nothing about unfolded before him.

When the new continent of America was "discovered", Muggles and wizards from many different countries flocked to that land.

Since there were no laws or law enforcement agencies there at the time, vicious incidents occurred frequently and bounty hunters came into being.

There was a group of wizard mercenaries who hunted anyone who could be exchanged for money, including trafficking wizards, or selling innocent Muggles as wizards to Puritans. They were later punished and hunted down by the Magical Congress.

These people were the earliest [Purifiers].

They are well aware of the existence of the magical world, but are full of hatred for wizards. It is even said that if their own children have magical talents, they will be abandoned or abused.

In the 18th century, a descendant of the Scourers named Bartholomew Barebone met a witch, which was the beginning of the tragedy.

The witch Dorcas Twelvetrees was madly obsessed with Bartholomew Barebone, and he tricked her into revealing a lot of information about the wizarding world, including the location of Ilvermorny and MACUSA.

Bartholomew Barebone then stole Dorcas Twelvetrees' wand, displayed it in public to journalists, printed leaflets promoting the existence of the "evil" wizarding world and various secret locations, and assembled a number of heavily armed men to launch a witch hunt.

This was the worst leak in the history of magic.

Later, Bartholomew Barebone was arrested and imprisoned for attacking innocent Muggles who "suspected to be wizards".

The Magical Congress of the United States of America also took measures to make up for it as much as possible, defining the entire leak as the fantasy of Bartholomew Barebone's insanity, and casting the Forgetfulness Charm on some people who knew the secret information.

However, because the news was spread so widely before the wizarding world discovered it, MACUSA was never able to confirm whether it had erased the memories of everyone who had known about the leak.

The answer, it turns out, is no.

For more than two hundred years, there has actually been a mysterious force in the United States that has been studying magic.

They also knew that the magic world would not allow such a thing to happen, so they always acted very covertly and did not even have a formal name to the outside world, simply calling themselves "the organization."

The initial research was actually absurd and unfounded, based on myths and legends and human imagination, and was obviously false by anyone with a discerning eye.

Some people leave because of disappointment, some join again with hope, some spend all their wealth on this, and some work hard to become billionaires just to qualify.

They have persisted for more than two hundred years.

In fact, Wade can best understand this kind of persistence - people who possess magic are often not as able to appreciate the value of magic as ordinary people.

Even though we know that we live in a world with magical powers, we are never able to enter the door and are always tortured by aging, illness, disability, etc. This gap can even drive people crazy.

The most important thing is that there really is magic in this world.

So those people’s efforts were not in vain in the end.

Of course, in the eyes of the magic world, this is not hard work, but psychotic paranoia and madness.

As for magical powers, they either exist or they don’t. Human technology has never been able to crack the mystery behind them, making it impossible for ordinary people to master magic.

But there are some things that you don't need any talent to have.

That is - werewolves and vampires.

In the wizarding world, these are actually two incurable diseases, both transmitted through blood and saliva, and have huge side effects.

Werewolves will attack indiscriminately after losing their minds, and vampires may seem perfect, but in fact they are equivalent to the living dead and are restrained by many natural enemies. The change in diet is only their most insignificant shortcoming.

And no matter which kind of transformation it is, it has an extremely high mortality rate on Muggles.

Therefore, the "organization" has been conducting a large number of experiments to try to find a stable and effective transformation pathway.

Wade couldn't even imagine how many people died in this process.

The surviving experimental subjects became members of the organization after being brainwashed and are active all over the world.

Seize funds, capture wizards and magical creatures, kidnap underage wizards, abduct ordinary people to become experimental consumables, sneak into magic schools to steal magical knowledge, and cultivate reserve forces.

For some reason (Vaid suspected it was Dumbledore's intimidation), the organization's influence had rarely penetrated into the British wizarding world in recent decades, merely collecting some information and occasionally stealing a few people.

But in the past one or two years, the organization's claws have finally extended to Britain (this time Wade can be sure that it is the butterfly effect caused by himself), and werewolves, vampires, and some wizards who have been trained by them since childhood have sneaked into Britain.

Creating chaos, creating conflicts, and initiating wars are the usual tactics used by these people.

During the three days that Dumbledore was away, he not only captured the vampires that attacked Lupin, but also, with their "help", "visited" the secret bases of the two organizations and obtained a lot of important intelligence.

It's a pity that the people sent to Britain didn't have much information, and even their memories had been altered, so they couldn't resist Dumbledore's magic.

After hearing this, Wade didn't know what to say for a long time, but he was surprisingly not very surprised.

Even a true fairy tale has many bloody and dark parts, not to mention that this is a real world that looks like a fairy tale.
