The Blood Professor at Hogwarts

"Mr. Bagman, I'm just a security officer, so there should be no need for an interview?" Dracula asked with a frown.

If it were a reporter with a slightly more pleasing image, Dracula might have been interviewed. After all, it is a novel experience to be in the newspaper.

But this reporter named Rita Skeeter is so weird, Dracula didn't even want to look at her more, so as not to affect his mood...

Bagman was a little embarrassed when he saw this.

He had long heard that Professor Dracula was wayward, but he didn't expect that he didn't even bother to follow the most basic greeting etiquette.

Seeing Rita's constant winks, Bagman sighed.

In order to repay Rita's favor for helping him make big news when he was still a popular Quidditch player, he had to say this:

"Professor Dracula, after all, it is the first time we set up the position of security officer, and there is no precedent for reference... From my personal point of view, there is nothing wrong with taking pictures for publicity, it can better promote our security! "

"You really think so?" Dracula raised his eyebrows and asked with a half-smile.

"Ahem..." Bagman trembled violently, always feeling as if Dracula could see through his thoughts, "Well... I must have this idea, just watch Professor Dracula and I disagree..."

Rita glanced at Bagman with eyes like looking at trash, but decided to do it herself.

"Professor Dracula, accepting my interview is definitely good for you and not bad for you." She said with a very sincere expression, "For an image like yours, you only need some special skills to become a top-notch in the magic world..."

"And you are also the first legendary figure to be re-elected as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. You only need to promote it in the newspaper a few times and publish a few books at random. You are definitely more famous than Lockhart at that time!"

"It's much faster than making money as a professor!"

Rita smiled confidently.She felt that no one could resist the temptation of being famous and making a lot of money at the same time.

After listening to the reporter's introduction, Dracula seemed to be very interested, and slowly raised the corners of his mouth.

"Don't worry, I'm a top reporter. I have cooperated with many Quidditch stars, singers, and drama stars. I'm the best at packaging images!" Rita thought that Dracula had an idea, so she hurriedly said.

"Professor Dracula, I don't need any benefits, as long as you can give me the right to follow-up interviews and write biographies...

... "

"How do you think I'm interested in money and fame?" Dracula suddenly interrupted Rita Skeeter.

"You're joking, who wouldn't be interested in money and fame?" Rita felt a little bad, and forced a smile, "You worked so hard to hold such a dangerous professorship, didn't you just want to earn money and fame? "

"I worked with Gilderoy Lockhart. When he was most famous, he wanted to be a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts for a year, just to become more famous..."

"So you all think so?" Dracula laughed with interest, "Interesting."

Indeed, most wizards who teach Defense Against the Dark Arts have ulterior motives.

Back then, Quirrell was trying to help Voldemort steal the Sorcerer's Stone, and later Lockhart was trying to put gold on his resume... From this point of view, Dracula also had another purpose.

He came to Hogwarts as a professor just for fun.

From the looks of it now, there would probably be no shortage of fun during the Tournament.

"Professor Dracula, this interview..." Rita Skeeter said unwillingly.

"Forget about the interview, I have an appointment with someone else." Dracula waved his hand casually, ignored her, and walked towards the steps on the side of the room.

Watching Dracula disappear around the corner of the stairs, Rita Skeeter gritted her teeth unwillingly, suddenly reached into the crocodile leather handbag, and took out a long, dazzling green quill and a scroll parchment.

Spreading the parchment on a nearby table, she stuffed the tip of the green quill into her mouth, sucked relish for a moment, and then placed the pen vertically on the parchment.

The tube of the quill is erected on the tip of the pen, hanging in the air and trembling slightly, as if it is ready to write an article at any time.

"The status of the test pen... My name is Rita Skeeter, a reporter for the Daily Prophet," she said.

Bagman, who was standing beside him, came over curiously, and looked down at the quill and the parchment.

As soon as Rita Skeeter finished speaking, the green quill began to write wildly, and the tip of the pen slid across the parchment deftly——

Charming blond Rita Skeeter, 43, whose rebellious quills have exposed many flashy falsehoods…

"Great." Rita Skeeter laughed happily, tore off the first parchment, crumpled it up, and stuffed it into her handbag.

"How can this pen make up nonsense without hesitation like you?" Bagman looked at this scene in amazement and commented.

"Ludo, don't speak if you can't speak."

Rita Skeeter turned her head and glared at Ludo, then continued to instruct the quill to continue writing, "The next thing is... well, Dracula, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts."

Different from before, this time the green quill hesitated for a while before slowly scribbling across the parchment and writing such handwriting——

Professor Dracula, as the first re-elected Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in 30 years, he is very legendary.But few people may know that the appearance of this professor is also so eye-catching;

This professor is very low-key, and he has such an outstanding image but is rarely known. This is definitely a great loss for the wizarding world.

Although he was unwilling to be interviewed, after the author's insinuation, he still asked many questions...

Bagman stood by and looked at the handwriting written by the quill pen, and opened his mouth in shock.

……

"Mr. Dracula, you just happened to come!"

In an upstairs room an old wizard with large pale eyes was sitting quietly by the window.When he saw Dracula coming, he stood up in surprise.

"I've just sorted out the utensils for checking the wand here. It's just right. I've wanted to take another look at that eerie wand for a long time." The old wizard's voice was erratic, but the joy in it couldn't be concealed at all.

"Oh? I thought this wand was just a product you were forced to reluctantly agree to make." Dracula chuckled softly, "Aren't you only willing to use dragon heartstrings, unicorn tail hair and phoenix tail feathers as the core of the wand? , Mr. Garrick Ollivander?"

"Ah, that's different!" Ollivander shook his head, "The reason why I made such a rule is because these three types of wand cores are the most stable. The fit is unprecedented, and it's clearly worth making an exception for me!"

Dracula hooked the corner of his mouth, assuming he wasn't the staff maker who said "You misread the person" at that time.

"Then help me take a look. I also want to know if this wand has changed in the past three years." Dracula handed over the wand that he had used for three years.

Ollivander took the wand carefully, placed it on a soft silk cushion above the table, and put on his monocle.

"Gloomy wood, powerful magical life phalanx as the core, thirteen and a half inches, the whole body is black, and the body of the rod is hard..." Looking at the magic wand, Ollivander murmured, "This is definitely what I want. One of the finest pieces ever made!"

"How?" Dracula asked.

"Mr. Dracula, please see - the spooky wood as this root

The main material of the wand, it is extremely suitable for the use of necromancy and black magic.However, this kind of wood also has its limitations, that is, it is difficult to use it to cast holy magic such as the Patronus Charm..."

In the middle of speaking, Ollivander's voice suddenly froze.

He watched as Dracula raised his hand, recalled his wand, and casually cast a silver-white Patronus of Bats.

Ollivander: "..."

"It seems that there is something wrong with your judgment, Mr. Ollivander." Dracula played with the wand between his fingers and laughed teasingly.

"This shouldn't be..." Ollivander showed a doubtful expression, "woods like spooky wood are extremely repellent of holy magic in the literature, and it will definitely be difficult to use this kind of wand to cast the Patronus Charm forcibly." Affecting the dark energy in it..."

He took a series of complicated tools from his tool bag, took the spooky wooden wand from Dracula, and checked it up and down carefully.

"Unbelievable...unbelievable..."

The more Ollivander looked, the more surprised he became, and the look of disbelief in his eyes became stronger and stronger.

"The dark power on this wand, after being affected by the Patronus Charm, has no tendency to weaken at all... On the contrary, it is still increasing at an imperceptible speed?"

"You mean...the darkness in this wand is still increasing?" Dracula frowned, and abruptly took the wand back from Ollivander's hand.

He has been lying in a gloomy wooden coffin for 100 years. He is very aware of the characteristics of this wood, and he also knows that everything in the world is different from the eternal self. No matter how magical the material is, it will gradually become ordinary and energetic with the passage of time. gradually dissipated.

This coffin has a history of hundreds of years, and it is no longer as deep as when it first got the gloomy logs.

However, after using this wand to cast the Patronus Charm many times, the dark quality in it has not weakened at all, but has actually strengthened a lot?

Dracula held the wand, and the magic power went deep into the wand to detect it. After repeated searches, he finally found an almost imperceptible energy source.

Because Dracula usually doesn't pay much attention to the wand as a tool, he usually doesn't have the awareness of maintaining the wand and checking the core of the wand, and it's hard to notice this deep energy source.

If Ollivander hadn't used professional tools to test and raised such a question today, Dracula might not have found out after using this wand until it was scrapped.

But how does such a small energy source manage to continuously increase the power of the wand?

Numerous pictures flashed before Dracula's eyes.

What he can be sure of is that after Ollivander finished making this wand, there is no such energy source in the wand... This wand maker is only proficient in making wands, and he does not have this kind of storage of black magic energy. source capacity.

So, when did this energy source appear?

First of all, it is certain that it has not appeared for a long time.Because when the Patronus Charm was first used, the power of the wand did drop extremely slightly, which could be easily felt.

Later, since when did this decline stop and instead begin to rise slowly?

The scene in front of Dracula was finally fixed at the end of last semester, when he met the man in the red robe and hood in the Department of Mysteries.

The only person who has the ability to tamper with this magic wand without knowing it is the future Dracula himself!

But how far into the future does the future self come from?

It was able to elevate Dracula's unaltered strength for nearly a thousand years to a whole new level, even to the point where he could snatch someone from the existence that claimed to be the god of death...

"Mr. Dracula, have you thought of anything?"

Ollivander's voice interrupted Dracula's thoughts.

"It's nothing." Dracula turned around and shook his head lightly, "Go and do your work first, Mr. Ollivander. I heard from Bagman that you have to check the wands for the participating warriors. "

"Oh!" Ollivander opened his large pale eyes even wider. "That's right, I seem to be running late."

After all, he is in a hurry

Hastily tidying up the utensils on the table, saying that he could not live up to the reputation of Ollivander's cane-making family, he tremblingly opened the door and walked down the stairs.

After Ollivander left, Dracula exhaled a long breath, his eyes became extremely deep.

Different types of dark energy from the same source, the stone arch leading to another world from the Department of Mysteries, the strange ability of Hai Erbo in the secret place on the top of Mount Olympus, and the mysterious energy source left by Dracula in the future... …

All these seem to be strung together, pointing to a mysterious and unpredictable end.
