Professor The Vampire Earl of Hogwarts

"Not all." Newt would occasionally add a few strokes to the book with another quill, and at the same time he said, "Some animals are relatively easy to observe, and I have collections in my box. In this case, I will ask A professional painter will help me draw it."

"However, the danger of the basilisk is still too high. It is not suitable to ask an artist for help. It is almost enough to draw a sketch with a sketching quill."

He glanced at the closed eyes of the basilisk, and asked, "Can you let it open its eyes a little bit? I can close the eyes and let the sketch quill do the drawing. It would be too much to leave only the image of the basilisk with closed eyes." Not comprehensive anymore."

"No problem." Dracula nodded, and patted the big head of the basilisk casually, "Open your eyes, I just want to ask you something."

At the mention of opening its eyes, the basilisk's huge body trembled visibly, and subconsciously shook its head.

"Hurry up, how can I use Legilimency to communicate with you if you don't open your eyes? I don't know how to speak like a snake!" Dracula urged.

"Wait, Professor Dracula..." Newt couldn't help asking when he heard Dracula's words, "You want to use Legilimency to communicate with the basilisk? Don't you want to look at the basilisk?! "

"That's right." Dracula said naturally, "This is the only way I can think of to communicate with the basilisk."

Newt swallowed involuntarily.

Is this speaking human language?Looking at the basilisk, is this an operation that humans can think of?

Oh, Professor Dracula is a vampire, that's all right.

Newt pushed forward the notebook and quill floating in front of him, put them in the right position for drawing, and then closed his eyes tightly.

The basilisk also opened its eyes under Dracula's coercion and lure, and stared at Dracula's wine-red eyes with its big yellow eyes.

Dracula once again felt the feeling that his whole body became light and light, as if he had drunk too much wine, and something was grabbing his soul and pulling it out.

Of course, the magic of the basilisk can't really pull Dracula's soul out of his body like pulling Myrtle back then.

It can only consume the magic power in its body in vain, and at the same time pass what it sees and hears in the Albanian forest to Dracula's magical eye boy through the intersection of sight.

After a while, Dracula clearly looked away.

After looking away, the basilisk quickly closed its eyes tightly, for fear that Dracula's eyes would look at it again.

"It seems that during this period of time, you have lived quite well in this forest in Albania!" Dracula raised the corners of his mouth and said teasingly to the basilisk, "Now if you go back to Hogwarts, Are you not willing anymore?"

The basilisk shook its head vigorously, with rejection written all over its face.

The basilisk means that whoever loves Hogwarts will return!

Ever since Slytherin left his snake alone at Hogwarts, it could only stay in the dark basement, relying on the sewers that Hogwarts hadn't cleaned up for hundreds of years...

Without enough food, I can only catch some rats in the sewer to barely satisfy my hunger; without clean water, I can only drink the smelly water in the sewer and the sewage leaked from the basement, which is simply not something for snakes to drink!

The most exaggerated thing is that even if the basilisk wants to fall into a deep sleep and use sleep to survive the difficult time of thousands of years, there will always be some heirs of the Gaunt family who do not know the heights of the sky and the earth will open the secret room from time to time to disturb its sleep...

It would be fine if those offspring of Slytherins who were ungrateful but not daring came to disturb it. At most, it would take a short sleep and catch up on sleep after the person left.

However, maybe you will meet a guy like Tom Riddle, who is both heartless and courageous, and arranges the basilisk to do this and that, even causing it to accidentally kill a Hogwarts student .

In the days after killing Myrtle, the entire snake of the basilisk was in a panic.

Maybe it will be found by the headmaster Dippet at the time, and then let it redeem Myrtle's life?

Not to mention that the Professor of Transfiguration at that time was still the most powerful wizard in the magic world. If he searched seriously, it would only be a matter of time before he found the secret room left by Slytherin.

Fortunately, it may be because the Transfiguration professor named Dumbledore mainly focused on a dark wizard named Grindelwald, and didn't pay too much attention to the internal affairs of Hogwarts, so he didn't Discover the existence of the basilisk.

Finally, when Dracula changed his living environment to the Albanian forest, the basilisk immediately felt the difference.

There are towering trees everywhere, and there is space for free activities everywhere. The air is fresh, the food is plentiful, the water source is abundant, and the range of activities is wide... After the basilisk came here, it felt like it was in heaven!

Its huge size has no natural enemies here, and it can go wherever it wants, and there is also Nagini, a viper with advanced intelligence, who can chat with it to amuse itself... This is compared to staying in Hogwarts, which is cramped and dirty. Dirty basements are so much better inside!

All in all, the Basilisk is determined not to go back to Hogwarts!

It glanced at Dracula with some vigilance, shrank back, silently thinking about how likely it would be to succeed in the resistance if Dracula insisted on letting it return to Hogwarts...

Seeing the performance of the basilisk, Dracula shook his head with a smile.

"Don't worry, I don't want you to go back to Hogwarts." He said, "If you are put together with the little wizards, Professor McGonagall, that old lady who has no sense of humor, will be the first to let you go." I."

Only then did the basilisk heave a sigh of relief, and once again brought its big head closer to flatter it.

"Speaking of which, what about that viper you met in the forest in Albania?" Dracula was a little curious that a guy like a basilisk could make friends, so he asked, "Nagini told me ?"

"Today I just invited a magizoologist to let Mr. Scamander drop by to see what species your friend is... This is the first time I've heard of a viper that big."

In fact, Dracula was not only curious about the viper friends made by the basilisk, he had just discovered some news related to Voldemort during the communication with the basilisk's Legilimency.

And all the news related to Voldemort involved the adder named Nagini.

Dracula wanted to see the Viper with his own eyes, and then directly obtain information related to Voldemort from the Viper's memory through Legilimency.

After all, it had been a while since Voldemort had committed suicide in front of him, since the Dark Lord hadn't been heard from.

The basilisk nodded his head to Dracula.

Its huge body seemed too bloated even on this open ground, so it could only coil up and turn in a circle before reluctantly changing direction and crawling into the dense bushes.

"Professor Dracula, besides the basilisk, are there other magical animals that I haven't seen?" Newt had already recorded the physical characteristics of the basilisk in detail at this time, closed the notebook, and asked Germany with a look of expectation. Gula asked.

"It's not necessarily a magical animal, is it?" Dracula recalled the image of the viper in the Basilisk's memory, and said with some uncertainty, "Maybe it's just a viper that has lived long enough and has undergone some mutations?"

"That viper seems to be the same as an ordinary viper, except that it is slightly bigger and more intelligent."

"Actually, just the two differences of size and intelligence are already very different from normal Vipers." Newt shook his head and said.

He opened his book which recorded many magical animals again, and after making full preparations, he explained to Dracula: "Actually, there are many magical animals in the wizarding world that are very similar to some species in the Muggle world."

"For example, the swallowtail dog is very similar to the Jack Russell hound on the Muggle side, and the ball bird is exactly the same as the extinct dodo bird in the Muggle world...but they are indeed XXX and magical beasts of rank XX."

"So those of us wizards who study magical animals usually don't judge animals as non-magical species because they are too similar to species in the Muggle world." Newt carefully introduced to Dracula.

"I see." Dracula nodded understandingly, "You really taught me a lot today, Mr. Scamander."

The basilisk moved very fast. Not long after Dracula and Newt chatted, it crawled all the way from the depths of the bush with a giant adder about twelve feet long.

Although as a snake, twelve feet is already quite large, and its body is almost thicker than an adult's thigh.

But when compared with the fifty-foot-long basilisk, as thick as the trunk of an oak tree, which nearly blotted out the sun, the adder seemed rather small. "Is this the new friend you made in this forest?" Dracula asked curiously as he looked at the green giant viper with black markings all over its body.

The basilisk obediently nodded its big head, and rolled to the side very consciously, allowing Nagini's figure to fully appear in front of Dracula and Newt.

"Mr. Scamander, let's see if this snake is a magical animal?" Dracula circled around Nagini, his eyes sparkling, and he observed with great interest whether there were magic fluctuations in his body exist.

I don't know if the basilisk has explained the horror of the Earl to his Viper friend. Nagini was scrutinized by Dracula up and down, and he was so frightened that he trembled all over and dared not move.

"It seems that this viper does have magic fluctuations, although it's a bit obscure." Dracula propped up his chin with two fingers thoughtfully, "What do you think, Mr. Scamander? "

However, Newt did not give any response for a long time.

Dracula turned his head to look at Newt, only to find that his eyes were wide open, motionless, looking at Nagini the Viper that appeared from the bushes with an expression of extreme surprise, astonishment and even some reminiscence.

"Mr. Scamander?" Dracula asked suspiciously.

"Professor Dracula, you just said... what is the name of this viper?" Newt took a deep breath, his voice trembling.

"Her? Can you tell the gender of a snake so quickly?" Dracula looked at Newt with surprised eyes, "The viper's name should be Nagini, at least that's what the basilisk remembers." .”

"Is it really Nagini?" Newt murmured.

He suddenly opened the old-fashioned suitcase that he had been carrying all the time, and summoned a cowhide book that was very similar to the book floating in the air with the Flying Charm, except that it looked older.

Newt caught the cowhide book, and rummaged through the book in a rare look of panic.

"Wait...Mr. Scamander, have you seen this viper?" Dracula raised his eyebrows even more surprised when he saw Newt's performance, "Or is this a very rare viper?" species?"

"Wait a minute, Professor Dracula, I'll explain it to you in detail later." Newt hurriedly flipped the leather book in his hand to the front page, "Found it!"

Dracula flashed casually, quietly appeared beside Newt, and looked curiously at the page Newt turned to——

On the yellowed and wrinkled kraft paper at the corners, two figures supporting each other are drawn in a far less mature style.

There are two figures, a man and a woman. The man is a pale young man with a stiff, rigid expression and a stiff head, while the woman is a beautiful Asian woman wearing a dark blue dress with intricate patterns. She has long black hair. Hair combed behind the head.

A man and a woman cuddled together, obviously a combination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman, but they seemed to have a sense of desolation and helplessness.

"Do these two people have anything to do with the viper brought by the basilisk?" Dracula frowned slightly.

"Professor Dracula, look at this page." Newt turned back a few more pages in the leather book.

On this yellowed page, Newt's drawing ability has obviously improved a lot, and the images on the page are more realistic and detailed.

In this picture, the previous pale young man was gone, only the black-haired woman still wearing a dark blue dress with intricate patterns remained, standing quietly on a lawn.

Judging from the layout of this lawn, it looks like the one near Hogwarts Forbidden Forest.

Just when Dracula was still puzzling about the relationship between this beautiful Asian woman and Viper Nagini, the image on the page suddenly moved——

The woman's irises suddenly expanded, and the whites of her eyes turned black in an instant. Immediately afterwards, she embraced her arms, and her body suddenly fell backwards.Her whole body seemed to have no bones, and her back was almost at a parallel angle with her thighs.

At the same time, the woman's two arms were quickly covered by scales, turning into a snake-like body, wrapping around her upper body.

The next moment, the dress with dark blue pattern also changed suddenly.The patterns on the dress turned into speckled black spots, and the dark blue color also turned into a green serpent, enveloping the woman's whole body in an instant...

In a short while, a beautiful woman turned into a giant viper that was thicker than a grown man's thigh and fully twelve feet long!

Dracula subconsciously turned his attention to the viper Nagini lying obediently beside the basilisk, compared the patterns on the scales of the two, and found that the two vipers were indeed identical.

"Is this... the Blood Curse of Meledix?" Dracula said thoughtfully.

"Indeed." Newt sighed and nodded slightly, "During the Global Wizarding War, I met Nagini in a wizarding circus, and she had already been cursed by the Meledix blood curse. "

"Nagini has long been ordered by the head of the circus to turn into a snake shape for the audience to watch, almost being abused like a juggling monster. Fortunately, Credence took her out later."

"Credence is...?" Dracula asked.

"That's him." Newt turned the book back to the previous page, pointing out the stiff, dull young man to Dracula, "Actually, Credence should be called Aurelius Dumbledore That's right..."

"His surname is Dumbledore?!" Hearing Credence's surname, Dracula immediately became interested. "Does Dumbledore have an illegitimate child outside?"

He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, already thinking about how he would tease the old headmaster when he returned to Hogwarts.

"I didn't expect Dumbledore to look old and unscrupulous, but he is also so unscrupulous in his life." Dracula said with an exaggerated grin on the corner of his mouth.

"Ahem, Credence is not Albus' child." Seeing that Dracula had thought of something strange, Newt hurriedly explained, "He is Albus' younger brother, Abufu Dumbledore's child."

"So Dumbledore didn't actually have an illegitimate child?" Dracula's grinning mouth retracted instantly.

Newt nodded helplessly.

"It's boring." Dracula pouted, "Let's skip this point and continue talking about Nagini."

The speed at which Dracula turned his face made Newt smile bitterly.

He coughed twice, reluctantly followed Dracula's idea, and continued to tell the story of Nagini.

"Well...Credence was later lured by Grindelwald and joined the voodoo camp, so Nagini became alone." Newt narrated, "Later she came to Hoag with us Watts, come find Dumbledore."

"At that time, her blood curse of Meledix was quite serious. We tried to cure her... But because the blood curse of Meledix was too rare after all, Dumbledore was held by Grindelwald for a long time stumble."

"We didn't find any way to restore her, and we could only watch her transform into a snake and lose her humanity for longer and longer..."

"Later, Nagini probably didn't want us to be tortured with her anymore, so he secretly left us alone. Then, until today, none of us saw her again."

Newt sighed deeply, "I think she's been hiding in this forest in Albania since then."

While listening to the story told by Newt, Dracula rested his chin on two fingers, thinking quietly.

"It's a pity, that old fellow Nico didn't wake me up." He said softly, "I've always been an expert in blood-related magic."

Of course, Dracula is fully aware of the reason Nicole Flamel didn't wake him up during the Global Wizarding War.

Because the camp that Grindelwald belonged to at that time was not at all lacking in style like dark wizards like Voldemort and Haierbo...

Under such circumstances, he might choose to help Grindelwald and the Witch Party, standing on the opposite side of Dumbledore and Newt.

How could he think of helping a Meledix whom he had never met before?
