Glory To Slytherin

The fire of hundreds of candles was shining bright and gentle, and Ulysses sat on the sofa, his face was calm, but there was a shock that could not be concealed in his heart.

Voldemort was once a member of the Abyss Organization?

"Go on."

Ulysses put the news aside and said lightly.

Professor Lockhart glanced at him in surprise, wondering how this kid was so calm, not at all what a third-year student should have, and continued honestly:

"When the Dark Lord left, it caused great losses to the organization. The organization urgently needed fresh blood to do things for them-to put it bluntly, it was looking for non-staff personnel to work. I was forced to join the organization at that time."

At this point, Professor Lockhart showed a wry smile on his face.

"When I was traveling in Egypt, I accidentally witnessed a dark wizard doing an experiment. What he did was... an experiment on human alchemy."

There was fear in his eyes, and he shivered fiercely. "That scene was like a nightmare, I think I will never forget it no matter how long it takes. The dark wizard wore a mask and couldn't see his face, and he wore a whirlpool in his hand. The patterned ring-like your pocket watch, it is also a token. He caught me, but did not kill me, but asked me to join the Abyss Organization."

"At that time, the organization seemed to be in a crisis. There was a problem with the flow of funds, and there was an urgent need for a large amount of money, so I was asked to make money for them. But I was just a person who had just graduated, although I wrote a book or two. But all went into the sewers, and the cost of the manuscript could only last a long time. There is no way, in order to meet the rigid requirements of the organization, I can only use some crooked brains."

"So, I went to find those well-informed travellers, tried every means to deceive their adventure stories, and then used the Forgetting Curse to erase their memories, take the stories as their own, and organize them into books for publication. Unsurprisingly, the books are selling well. , Consecutively topped the best-selling list."

Mentioning this experience, Professor Lockhart's face was intertwined with shame and pain.

"I have been in the organization for a long time, and I have become more and more familiar with the research of those official members. Every experiment can break through my cognitive lower limit-that is really an activity that only Devil can do. Therefore, I was born to escape. Out of the mind of the organization."

"It's a pity that this thought was discovered."

Professor Lockhart said in a low tone, and even choked a little, "They want to keep me in the organization and continue to make money for them. I don't know what method they used to seal most of my magic except the Forgotten Curse! No matter what I am. No matter how hard you try, the power of the spell used is pitiful..."

Ulysses blinked, and he nodded as if he was engrossed in the story.

"Then what?"

Professor Lockhart's words were stagnant, and his faintly resentful expression seemed to say, "You have no sympathy at all." He got up from the floor, sat on a soft chair, sighed softly and said:

"After that, I extinguished the thought of escaping the abyss and enjoyed the happiness that fame brought me... Although I was a little guilty at the beginning, I gradually became a little addicted. Fame and wealth are like poison. Until I saw it. Dumbledore’s recruitment brochure, I realized that this might be an opportunity-Dumbledore is the greatest wizard in the world, there is no doubt about it. Hogwarts should not present any danger under his nose. ..."

"Therefore, I tried to register with Dumbledore to apply for the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. I didn't expect it to be. After careful preparation, I left the Abyss Organization. Anyway, I was just a non-staff. How many people will pay attention to me--but I dare not talk to Dumbledore about this experience, I'm afraid he will not want me when he knows..."

"I know how terrifying the people of the abyss are, so when I saw your pocket watch, I subconsciously felt that the people of the abyss found Hogwarts to kill me..."

After Professor Lockhart finished speaking, he seemed to have removed a heavy burden, and the whole person was relieved a lot. He poured a cup of coffee, and naturally gave Ulysses a cup.

Ulysses took it but didn't drink. He put it on the armrest of the sofa, and he muttered for a while and said:

"It's a wonderful story, Professor. But what I want to know more is information about the Abyss Organization."

Ulysses was noncommittal to Professor Lockhart's words, he was not a child, and naturally it was impossible to believe his words completely.

Wonderful?

Professor Lockhart tried his best to endure that he didn't roll his eyes out in front of Ulysses. He felt that he was so miserable that he could be the protagonist of a novel, but he did not expect to get a "wonderful" evaluation from Ulysses.

But Professor Lockhart didn't dare to neglect the news Ulysses wanted to get, as he carefully recalled it in his mind. Although it was just a false alarm, the boy was also a cruel man.

"I am not a full member, and I don’t know much about it. There are seven people in the Abyss organization — oh now it’s six people. I don’t know their looks, age, gender, they are like shrouded in one layer after another. In the layer of smoke, few people know the real situation. I only know the code names of two of them:'Mandala' and'Dark Chaser'."

"The factions in the organization are distinct, and they are vertically managed by the highest-ranking people. They do not overlap each other. When I was there, I belonged to the non-staff members of the ‘Dark Chasers’ faction."

"Most of the official members are dark wizards with unfathomable strength. They are cruel and cautious, leaving little handle. Their footprints are all over the magic world. That's all I know."

Professor Lockhart finished speaking in one breath, took a sip of coffee, looked up at Ulysses, and observed his reaction.

Ulysses half-closed his eyes, seeming to digest the secret revealed by Professor Lockhart. Then, he suddenly said:

"You said... they sealed most of your magic except the Forgotten Curse?"

"Yes."

When it comes to this, Professor Lockhart’s face is full of hatred, "I was a top student who graduated from Ravenclaw before, and now I am a person who can only forget the curse...Wait, can you help me?"

There was a sudden burst of light in his eyes, like a clear spring suddenly appeared in front of the eyes of a person dying of thirst in the desert.

However, his hope soon returned to despair as Ulysses shook his head.

Ulysses laughed at himself in his heart. If he didn't guess wrong, this method has involved the concept of soul magic veins, and he is still a thousand miles away.

A strong sense of urgency rose in his heart. He killed the people of the Abyss organization. No one can guarantee that the organization will have any way to know who the murderer is.

Of course, kill it if you kill it, and he won't regret it.

Ulysses suppressed these thoughts for the time being. He stood up and said softly:

"Thank you for sharing, Professor. If you don't want to, I won't spread these words out, so please rest assured."

After speaking, Ulysses walked toward the door of the office.

When he walked to the door, Ulysses suddenly remembered something and turned his head and said:

"By the way, Professor, I still need you to do me a little favor. I think you wouldn't mind it?"
