The Blood Professor at Hogwarts

Ron took out of his pocket a strangely shaped wand, the one he had played "fencing" with Harry in Transfiguration, and asked:

"Can this thing be improved? It's very interesting."

"It's a piece of cake!" Fred smiled and stretched out his hand to George.

George took two similar wands from his pockets and handed one to Ron and one to Harry.

"Try these two." He laughed.

Harry and Ron took the wands dubiously, and bumped the two wands together as they did in the Transfiguration classroom.

With a "bang", almost instantly, the two wands changed their shapes at the same time——

The one in Ron's hand turned into a tin parrot, and the one in Harry's hand turned into a rubber haddock.

"Wow!"

The two marveled at the wand in their hands... or the animal, and felt that this idea was simply awesome.

"Well, let me just say that this book is very useful?" Fred said happily, "I'm not bragging, what kind of magic props are in our hands now, and we will be able to judge what kind of magic items it has. pattern!"

[The novel app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms

Harry happily brought the "haddock" in his hand to his eyes, wanting to study how it worked carefully.

At this time, he suddenly froze for a moment.

He found that he was still holding a golden egg in his left hand, reflecting the shining light in the firelight of the fireplace.

"Wait a minute, Fred..." Harry asked with vacant eyes, "Do you think...is this golden egg also a magic item related to alchemy?"

……

The Christmas ball is getting closer and closer, but Harry and Ron still haven't found a dance partner.

But there is at least one piece of good news. Fred and George, who are self-proclaimed experts in magic props, made a judgment and decided that the golden egg Harry got from the dragon's nest in the first game was an alchemy product, so they took it away. Research went.

Anyway, Harry felt that he couldn't find a solution, so he might as well give it to the twins who had a lot of experience in making magic props...

Another Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Dracula saw that the minds of the little wizards had already drifted to the Christmas ball a few days later, and they were not in the mood to study, so he simply replaced this Defense Against the Dark Arts class with self-study.

Of course, the more important reason is that Dracula himself is too lazy to give lectures...

"Harry, I have some sad news for you." Ron sat on a chair in the classroom and secretly said to Harry who was sitting next to him.

Harry turned his head and looked at him suspiciously.

"You may not believe it, but I asked around and found that the two of us are almost the only boys in Gryffindor who don't have a partner." Ron said dejectedly.

Immediately, his expression became brighter, "Oh, yes, there is actually Neville... Do you know who he invited? Hermione!"

"What? Hermione's been invited?" said Harry, completely absorbed by the surprising news.

Harry and Ron have always regarded Hermione as their good brother, and it seems that they have never thought that this good brother will also be invited to the ball as a girl one day.

"Yeah, I just found out about this not too long ago!" Ron laughed as he said, the frustrated expression on his face faded a lot, "Neville told me after the Potions class yesterday!"

"He said Hermione was always so kind, helping him with his homework and stuff - but guess what Hermione said? Hermione told him she'd promised someone else!"

"Hahaha... It's true, she just doesn't want to go with Neville..."

Not only Ron, but Harry also had an uncontrollable smile on his face.

"What are you two secretly talking about?" Hermione asked suddenly, turning her head.

She sat in the row in front of Harry and Ron, and listened to the two whispering for a long time. After all, she couldn't help raising her head from the textbook in front of her, and glared at her two bad friends behind her.

"No, we didn't say anything." Ron forcibly straightened his face, but the corners of his mouth were almost raised to the sky uncontrollably.

"I heard it all!" said Hermione exasperatedly. "You two don't believe I can find a partner at all, do you?"

"Ah, you can't say that..." Harry realized that he had said something wrong, and he stammered, "We just think that you can take care of your studies in your heart, and you won't think about those miscellaneous things .”

"That's right, that's right, Harry is right!" Ron also hurriedly agreed with great desire to survive.

He looked at Hermione, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he suddenly found a new person staring at her.

"Hermione, I suddenly realized that Neville was right—" Ron said hesitantly, "You're a nice girl too..."

"Oh, you're very observant," said Hermione sharply, curling her lips. "I didn't realize this until fourth grade, and I was reminded of it!"

"Don't say that, Hermione, I just didn't notice it for a while." Ron scratched his head. "Or...you can choose one of Harry and me as a dance partner?"

"No, I refuse!" Hermione refused him without thinking.

"Oh, hurry up," Ron said impatiently, "We need a partner, and it would be embarrassing if everyone else has one and we don't... And you need a partner too, right?"

"I can't go with you," said Hermione, blushing involuntarily. "I've promised someone else."

"No, you didn't!" Ron said confidently, "You just said that to get rid of Neville!"

"Oh, really?" Hermione suddenly amplified her voice, and her eyes became a little menacing, "It took you three years to find out I'm a good girl, Ron, and that doesn't mean no one else noticed a little!"

Ron stared at her blankly, and then he grinned again.

"Well, well, we know you're a good girl," he said, laughing. "Is that all right? Can you say yes?"

"I've told you!" said Hermione very angrily. "I've promised someone else!"

After finishing speaking, she turned around angrily, lay down on the table and ignored the two straight steel men behind her.

"Is she lying?" Ron whispered to Harry, watching her back.

"I don't think so..." Harry shook his head blankly, "It would be too out of Hermione's style to wait until the day of the Yule Ball to be exposed."

The movement among the three little wizards also caught the attention of Dracula who was fishing on the podium.

He stood up and went to

Harry and Ron.

"I heard...you were discussing the Christmas ball just now?" Dracula asked with interest, raising the corners of his mouth.

"Ah, no, Professor Dracula..." Ron was taken aback, straightened up in an instant, sat upright on his chair, and said, "We are discussing study issues! "

At the same time, he conveniently took out a book from the desk drawer and placed it in front of him, pretending to be studying seriously, rolling his eyeballs to the side from time to time, trying to observe Dracula's reaction.

"Stop pretending, it doesn't look like it at all." Dracula pulled the book in front of Ron out from under his arm, and jokingly said, "Tsk, I didn't find the book upside down, and I don't know how professional it is to pretend a little."

"Look at Potter, who is at the same table as you, and he still knows how to hold the pen in his hand and put the book out on the table when he deserts his errands...but you actually slipped away in front of the light The desktop says that he is studying, who would believe it?"

Harry blushed with shame, bowed his head and said nothing.

Ron muttered, not knowing what excuses he should find to "exonerate" himself, so he could only follow Harry's example and lower his head and pretend to be an ostrich...

"Here, take your book." Dracula smiled faintly, and threw back the book he took from Ron's hand, "Next time, remember to pretend to be more real, don't look like a fool It’s like learning from an empty desk.”

After that, Dracula turned around and returned to his podium.

"We...were not punished?" Seeing Dracula's leaving figure, Ron blinked and looked at Harry, "Didn't Professor Dracula double our homework next semester?"

"Probably, maybe, maybe not..." Harry also shook his head uncertainly, "It seems that Professor Dracula is in a good mood today, maybe he let us go."

In fact, it didn't take long for Harry and Ron to figure out why they hadn't been punished.

"Everyone, stop the movement of your hands for a moment!"

Standing on the podium, Dracula said to the audience.

The little wizards in the classroom reflexively stopped studying, chatting, or discussing the coming Christmas ball in a few days, and looked up at the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor on the podium.

Dracula was very satisfied with the quick response of the little wizards, and nodded happily.

"I hear you're going to a Yule Ball in a few days and everyone needs a partner, right?" he asked.

"That's right, Professor," replied Ernie McMillan from Hufflepuff's side. "Students from the fourth year and up can join the dance. No one wants to stand dryly in the audience and watch others dance."

It can be seen that this little Hufflepuff badger must have found a good dance partner, and his expression was full of vigor when he spoke.

"Very good, then I would like to ask, is there anyone here who hasn't found a dance partner yet?" Dracula looked at the little wizards in the audience and asked enthusiastically.

However, except for the honest Neville who raised his hand, the others probably felt ashamed, so they didn't consciously raise their hands.

"Tsk, why is it useless to give you a chance?" Dracula sneered, "Well, those who have found a partner raise their hands."

Sure enough, after changing the way of asking, most of the students in the classroom raised their hands.

"Very good, then those who have found a dance partner can be an audience today."

Dracula moved his fingers casually. Before the little wizards who raised their hands could react, they, together with their tables and chairs, shifted laterally, and then appeared neatly on the edge of the classroom wall.

The rest were the little wizards who didn't raise their hands - Harry, Ron, Neville and a few girls were on the list.

Those who did not find a partner were immediately exposed to the eyes of the public. Their expressions were stunned for a while, and then their faces turned red.

It took Harry and Ron a long time to realize what had happened—

Professor Dracula probably thought of another way to have fun, and now he put them under the eyes of everyone, watching their embarrassment with great interest.

"Professor, you can't—

wailed Ron, "If you do this, we will die!" "

"How can you say that?" Dracula said with a playful expression on his face, "I'm kind enough to provide a platform for you guys who don't have a partner, so that you can make a partner with each other."

"But I'd rather not dance at the Yule Ball than find a partner like this..." Ron murmured bitterly.

"Okay, let's move quickly, gentlemen who don't have a partner yet." Dracula urged the few little wizards in the middle of the classroom with a look of watching the excitement, "It's a rare opportunity, which two hold hands?" Success can save half a month of homework!"

Sure enough, there must be a brave man under the reward.

Neville, as a young wizard who is usually not too smart, always doesn't have enough time to finish his homework... Dracula's promise is quite effective for him.

What's more, Neville really wanted to find a dance partner...

As a result, Neville, who had always been dull, was the first to stand up from his seat.
