Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

"It sounds like this 'Toreador' clan isn't very dangerous." Anduin glanced at Newt tentatively.

"What, you want to take her in? The vampires of the Camarilla have a decent reputation in the wizarding world. I even have a vampire friend from the Camarilla's 'Malkavian clan.' He's an elegant and intelligent person." Newt seemed to recall something interesting, a nostalgic smile on his face.

"Vampires are different from werewolves. Camarilla vampires, who adhere to the rules, don't randomly hurt people by losing their minds. However, the wizarding world still holds prejudice against them. Although the International Confederation of Wizards has specifically issued the 'Non-Wizard Demihuman Treatment Guidelines' to try to eliminate this discrimination, they still have some uncertain factors, and they belong to the category of Dark Arts creatures after all."

"Therefore, vampires living in the wizarding world must register with the Ministry of Magic and accept the Ministry's supervision. Generally, unregistered wild vampires are arrested and investigated. Sometimes, their freedom is restricted for a long time. If there are criminal or injury records, they will be imprisoned in Azkaban."

"For non-native vampires like Xiatia, the Ministry of Magic's practice is to detain them first, and then the 'Department of International Magical Cooperation' will communicate with the Magical Congress of the United States. After confirming that they have no prior convictions, they will be repatriated. After all, vampires are uncertain factors, and no country's Ministry of Magic is willing to take the initiative to keep them."

After explaining to Anduin, Newt looked at Xiatia again, "By the way, are you a carnivore or a vegetarian?"

"Vegetarian, I'm a vegetarian. You can rest assured, I haven't harmed any life since my transformation. If you understand, you'll know that our 'Toreador' clan has always loved peace and maintained a good relationship with the American wizarding world. I am willing to swear in the name of the progenitor on this point. Please, sirs, don't abandon me. If I am sent back home, I will definitely die without a burial place."

Xiatia discovered that this old man beside Anduin knew so much about vampire ecology, coupled with Anduin's sharp, knife-like eyes, she no longer had any illusions. She didn't dare to fool them at all. Now, she could only stare at the two of them with her watery eyes, hoping to arouse their sympathy.

"Vegetarian? There's a vegetarian way of life for vampires? Don't they drink blood?" Anduin heard another piece of knowledge that he hadn't encountered in textbooks and asked with some surprise.

"Ah, that's just a nickname within the vampire community. Within the vampire community, some people call themselves vegetarians. They adhere to the rules and don't take the initiative to kill and suck raw blood. Usually, they mainly cook animal blood and eat it. Because often eating raw blood easily makes vampires lose their minds, so bloodlines that are inclined to rationality will deliberately suppress this blood-sucking impulse."

"In fact, vampires have quite a wide range of diets, basically similar to humans. I even know some vampires who only like to eat sweets and pasta. Liking to eat blood is just the instinct of most vampires. This instinct is more obvious in vampires with purer bloodlines. Vampires with low conversion generations don't have such a strong desire for fresh blood. After all, they were humans before they were converted, and many still maintain human living habits."

"Carnivorous vampires are generally called blood-eaters. They regularly suck raw blood, which is further divided into conservatives and wildlings. Among the conservatives, some buy blood from the Muggle society through special channels, and some feed on animal blood. They are still relatively restrained and will not directly feed on human blood. Of course, this may also be for their own safety. Maliciously attacking humans will always attract the Ministry of Magic's hunt."

"But the wildlings aren't so gentle. They advocate returning to animality, are extremely aggressive, and pride themselves on attacking and eating human blood. Some wildling clans even keep humans like livestock, including wizards. More civilized wildlings will develop blood servants or blood attendants among humans as a long-term blood supply."

"Even…" Newt glanced at Xiatia at this point, "Some bloodlines will attack their own kind in order to increase their strength, feeding on the blood of vampires. Sucking the blood of their own kind, especially sucking the blood of higher-level vampire kin, can accelerate the growth of strength and close the generation gap."

"But there are disadvantages to doing so, that is, it will cause severe bloodlust. They will become more and more eager for blood, even the blood of vampires. In the end, these bloodlines will gradually go crazy. The wildling bloodlines have always been hated by the Ministries of Magic of various countries, and once discovered, they will be hunted down with all their strength."

"That's right." Xiatia nodded upon hearing this, "The vampire clans of the Sabbat are all blood-eaters, and there are many wildling members among them. The reason why we have conflicts with them is because their leader has bloodlust every few decades, so every once in a while they will come and attack our Camarilla clans.

The reason why I was able to escape being eaten was because I was too weak. Although the Sabbat bloodlines have fewer people, their bloodline levels are very high. Eating my blood would even dilute their bloodlines, so I was sold to the black market controlled by the Silver Lance."

"I see, so if we keep this Xiatia, what needs to be done?" Anduin asked Newt thoughtfully.

"Actually, this kind of thing is difficult and easy." Newt winked at Anduin, "If this little bat is really a vegetarian as she said, the danger is not great, and it is optional to keep her or not."

"With your relationship with the Ministry of Magic, if you are willing to vouch for her, I don't think the Ministry of Magic will make things difficult for you. I remember you are quite familiar with Bianca, the Director of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, isn't he in charge of this? But are you really planning to take in a vampire?"

"She helped me in the previous battle after all, provided that this guy doesn't cause me trouble." Anduin stared at Xiatia lightly. The main reason was that he was quite interested in vampires. If he kept a vampire by his side, maybe he could study it by the way. Of course, it wouldn't be convenient to say such things in person.

"I won't cause you any trouble, sir. Xiatia is very obedient. As long as you are willing to take in Xiatia, I will be as honest as a lady." Xiatia found that Anduin had loosened his mouth and immediately looked at the young wizard in front of her with excitement, and patted her chest to assure.

You? Honest? Anduin immediately recalled the scene of this guy spraying profanity at the Thunderbird. If he could believe this guy's guarantee, he might as well believe that the earth is flat.
