Hogwarts: My name is the Unforgivable Curse

Chapter 227 The mysterious mastermind behind the scenes

"Do you want to participate in my research?"

Belby was stunned for a moment before reacting: "I would welcome an expert like you to join us, but I heard that you are better at psychiatry... I thought you would adapt to your new job for a period of time, or deal with... What about Zkaban?"

"In fact, I also have some research on vitality and curses."

Avada smiled: "And things have to be prioritized - I guess even in your... oh, it should be our schedule, dealing with the recent werewolf attack is better than sneaking into Azkaban to obtain Loha Special memory is given priority, right?”

"That's right, although these two things actually belong to the same framework..."

Belby nodded in approval: "But I'm sorry, Professor Imprey, there are no victims here now - almost all of them are children who are not old enough to go to Hogwarts, and they usually have to follow them The parents live together. But if you like, I can provide a list of victim families with whom we have contact, although their number is not very large..."

"Uh, by the way, speaking of that."

Avada suddenly raised her hand and interrupted Belby: "There's a question I've been wondering about for a while - don't those werewolves regularly provide wolfsbane potions to the families of their victims to force them to obey their orders? Well, since you If we already have a list of many victims, as long as we keep an eye on these people, can't we just wait for the werewolves to come to our door on their own?"

"In fact we have already done so, Professor Imprey."

Belby replied in a deep voice: "After doing this, we discovered that the number, scale and organizational structure of those werewolves far exceeded those more than ten years ago, and also exceeded our expectations. This is why we attach so much importance to this matter. The important reason..."

"Those responsible for attacking, conveying orders, and delivering wolfsbane potion are only the lowest-level werewolves. They know nothing about the identities, locations, and plans of the higher-level werewolves. We have repeatedly confirmed this using Legilimency. As for the upper levels, The instructions and medicines conveyed to them were all delivered at random times through owls cast by shielding spells, and it was useless to track the owls, because those owls would not go back to look for their masters, but would return after completing a mission. He became a wild bird..."

"So outrageous?"

Avada also frowned - this means that they still need to continuously obtain a large number of owls, and in order not to attract attention, they probably have to use secret ways... This can no longer be solved with money. .

Coupled with the batch refining of expensive and complicated wolfsbane potions, the technology of being able to summon so many werewolves at any time, which the university has not cracked yet, the hierarchical division of labor in the organization is still so strict and orderly...

"This group of werewolves are following a big financial sponsor..."

Avada couldn't help but murmured with emotion while thinking.

"Look, you think so too, don't you?"

Belby forced a smile and said: "We think so too, but we are still confused about it - logically speaking, werewolves' attacks on the magical society will be harmful to any wizard, whether it is the Ministry of Magic or not. , those big companies are still pure-blood families. Especially pure-blood families - they are the group that fears and hates werewolves the most. After all, once their pure and noble blood is contaminated by werewolves, it will be almost a shame in the history of pure-bloods... …Voldemort was able to suppress werewolves back then, but things are different now.”

"In fact, the target we are most suspicious of right now is the group of goblins. They have no shortage of financial resources, technology, social connections, or motivation to do this kind of thing... It's just that it is too difficult to investigate the goblins and Gringotts. , after all, even the species are different..."

"Fairy?"

Avada then remembered that there is such a species that has fallen in love with and killed humans in history, provoked several wars in the magic world, and is now a marginalized but very nourishing species: "It is said that fairies will also be bitten by werewolves. Infected?"

"This... we haven't studied this."

Belby stared at Avada with a strange look on his face: "There is no record of goblins being bitten by werewolves in history. After all, the number of goblins is too rare, and the individual strength is stronger. But I guess... it's just a personal guess. , Goblins should still be affected by the werewolf curse, after all, there is no reproductive isolation between goblins and humans... God knows what the people who discovered this went through."

"Is it possible that it was the unauthorized action of a certain dark wizard?"

Seeing that Belby was about to start his mind wandering again, Avada quickly pulled him back with a new question - although he was also quite curious about what the guy who discovered that there was no reproductive isolation between humans and fairies did.

"The probability is too small."

Belby also retracted his thoughts in time: "Even a dark wizard who can use such huge financial resources and social connections must have a pure-blood family behind him... And as I said, in this case, In fact, the pure-blood family is less suspicious."

"But you should also be careful."

Avada reminded: "The pure-blood family was just traumatized by Dumbledore last year and fell into the trap of slow death... Under such circumstances, it is completely normal for them to jump over the wall and make decisions that go against their ancestors. .”

"You're right. We have never given up investigating clues in this area. After all, werewolves also have a history of being Death Eaters... Pure-blood families, goblins, and those big potion manufacturers... these have always been our focus. The subject of the investigation. Now our main work in this area is to investigate several owl post offices and trace the whereabouts of those retired old owls..."

Belby replied seriously: "We even contacted the vice-principal specifically for this, and it turned out that his ability to predict this matter did not fluctuate at all - but this is also good news, which means that this incident may The consequences were not serious.”

‘Good guy. ’ Avada secretly marveled.

The vice-chancellor of Noblic University... isn't that Grindelwald?

They even tried Grindelwald's prophecy ability... It seems that they don't need to worry too much about the investigation, and can just go to class and do research in peace.

"So, here is the list and addresses of the families of the victims who are currently in contact with us. Just take it."

Belby finally took out a piece of folded parchment from the drawer and handed it to Avada: "But if you want to contact them, please confirm the situation in advance before sending a letter to avoid the small chance of happening. incidents, such as confronting those werewolves. By the way, if you really encounter a werewolf, please don’t attack first..."

"They trigger madness in all their victims simultaneously - Professor Baker told me that."

Avada nodded and took the list.
