Chapter 359 Organization
"Great." Wade breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Has Professor Snape figured out a solution? What on earth is that thing that forced Remus to transform?"
"That's the bad news - let me think about where to start?"
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: "If you don't want to tell me the truth, I can also find a way to investigate it myself."
"Well, in fact, you will know soon..."
Dumbledore said vaguely, and then said: "You know, Wade, although the magic world and the Muggle world live on the same land, 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 except for 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 facts are different."
Wade 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, there was a very serious leak in the United States."
As Dumbledore told the story, a piece of history that Wade had no idea about was presented in front of 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, and were later punished and hunted down by the Magic Congress.
These people were the earliest [Scourgers].
They knew the existence of the magical world, but they were 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 got a lot of information about the magical world, including the location of Ilvermorny and the Magical Congress of the United States of America, etc.
Later, Bartholomew Barebone stole Dorcas Twelvetrees' wand, showed it to journalists in public, printed leaflets to promote the existence of the "evil" magical world and various secret places, and gathered some fully armed people to launch a witch hunt.
This was the most serious leak in the history of magic.
Later, Bartholomew Barebone was arrested and imprisoned for attacking innocent Muggles who were "suspected 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 Bartholomew Barebone's mentally ill fantasy, and cast the Forgetting Spell on some people who knew the secret information.
However, because the news was spread too widely before the magic world discovered it, the Magical Congress of the United States of America could not be sure whether it had erased the memories of all those who had known the leaked information.
As it turned out, the answer was - no.
For more than two hundred years, there has actually been a mysterious force in the United States studying magic.
They also knew that the magic world would not allow such things to happen, so they always acted very secretly, and even had no official name to the outside world, just calling themselves "organizations".
The initial research was actually absurd and unfounded, based on myths and legends and human imagination, and was a falsehood that anyone with a discerning eye could see.
Some people left because of disappointment, some joined with hope, some spent all their wealth for this, and some worked hard to become billionaires in order to qualify.
They have persisted for more than two hundred years.
In fact, Wade can best understand this persistence - people with magic are often not as good as ordinary people in understanding the value of magic.
And knowing that they live in a world with magical powers, they 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 is really magic in this world.
So the efforts of those people were not in vain in the end.
Of course, in the eyes of the magic world, this is not hard work, but paranoia and madness like a snake.
And magic ability is something that exists or does not exist. Human technology has never cracked the mystery and cannot allow ordinary people to master magic.
But some things do not require any talent to have.
That is - werewolves and vampires.
In the magic world, these are actually two incurable diseases, both of which are transmitted through blood and saliva and have huge side effects.
Werewolves will attack indiscriminately after losing their minds, while vampires seem perfect, but in fact they are equivalent to the living dead, and they will be restrained by many natural enemies. The change in diet is just their most insignificant shortcoming.
And no matter which kind of transformation, it has a very high mortality rate on Muggles.
Therefore, the "Organization" has been conducting a lot of experiments to try to find a stable and effective way of transformation.
Wade dared not imagine how many people died in this process.
The surviving experimental subjects, after brainwashing, become members of the organization and move around 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 magic knowledge, and cultivate reserve forces.
For some reasons (Ved suspected that it was Dumbledore's deterrence), the organization's power has rarely penetrated into the British wizarding world in recent decades, just collecting some information and occasionally stealing a few people.
But in the past one or two years, the organization's claws have finally reached the UK (this time Ved can be sure that it is the butterfly effect caused by himself), werewolves, vampires, and some wizards who have been trained by them since childhood have all sneaked into the UK.
Creating chaos, creating conflicts, and triggering wars are the usual means of these people.
During the three days he was away, Dumbledore not only captured the vampires who attacked Lupin, but also "visited" the secret bases of the two organizations with their "help" and obtained a lot of important intelligence.
Unfortunately, the few people sent to Britain did not have much information, and even their memories had been changed, but they could not resist Dumbledore's magic.
After hearing this, Wade didn't know what to say for a long time, and he was surprisingly not very surprised.
Even in a real fairy tale, there are many bloody and dark parts, not to mention that this is a real world that looks like a fairy tale.
"I also want to tell you," Dumbledore said at last: "I brought back someone."
Wade was stunned, and then understood: "-Caryl?"
