Professor The Vampire Earl of Hogwarts

"You two stop immediately!"

As soon as he finished talking about trying to persuade the fight, Newt jumped into the cave first, and stopped in the middle of the two giant snakes with his tiny body.

Dracula watched this scene, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

"Are you really not afraid that these two snakes will get angry and accidentally hurt you?" He asked with a strange expression.

After all, Newt can be regarded as a distinguished guest invited to Dracula's castle, and this disturbing basilisk was brought to him by himself... For the sake of his own face, Dracula can't let Newt say anything. Te was injured by the basilisk.

Then, a pair of black wings suddenly stretched out from Dracula's back.

Flapping its wings, Dracula appeared on the same level as the raised heads of the two giant snakes almost instantly.

The next moment, Dracula slapped the basilisk on the head.

With a loud bang, the basilisk's head sank deeply into the hard stone ground.

Then, Dracula turned around in the air, facing the rune snake.

In the blink of an eye, he kicked three times in a row, one by one under the three big heads of the rune snake, causing the big three-headed snake to fall backwards straight and heavily. It hit the ground.

"This is much better." Dracula clapped his hands in satisfaction, and landed next to Newt, "How are you, are you not injured, Mr. Scamander?"

"Well... I'm not really injured." Newt looked at the two big snakes lying on the ground, his eyes twitching, "But I guess Mr. Rune Snake and Mr. Basilisk should be seriously injured..."

It never occurred to him that this Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts didn't even bother to use magic, and with just a slap and three kicks, he could stand two feet as high as four or five floors. The big snake was beaten and fell down.

"Let's get hurt if you get hurt. It can be regarded as giving them a long memory. In the future, they will remember not to fight casually." Dracula said nonchalantly.

"Um, Professor Dracula... To tell you the truth, I actually have my own sense of being willing to stand between them." Newt explained dumbfoundingly, "The probability of these two snakes fighting is actually quite low, and even It can be said to be infinitely close to zero."

"This is also the reason why I dare to block them physically... I am old now, and I am no longer as reckless as when I was young when I was protecting magical animals!"

Dracula looked at Newt strangely, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"I'm telling the truth!" Newt argued, "If you've just looked more closely, you'll find that the Basilisk's eyes show no sign of opening...but the Basilisk's talent for killing with eyes is precisely that. It's their most powerful attack method."

"This fully proves that Mr. Basilisk is still under your threat and doesn't want to cause trouble."

After listening to Newt's introduction, Dracula couldn't help but look back, and found that even though the basilisk was smashed into the ground, it still closed its eyes tightly.

The expression on its snake's face even seemed a little aggrieved in a humane way, as if it was still confused, not knowing why he was suddenly beaten up by the Earl.

"Ahem..." Dracula coughed a few times in embarrassment, but he was still speaking hard, "But there is another problem, even if the basilisk is still intimidated by me and has no intention of doing anything, how can you be sure that it will continue to fight if you want to kill it?" Wouldn't the Nestle Snake also know how to do it?"

"This matter involves the habits of the rune snake, Professor Dracula." Newt said, "In the early years, some wizards who could use the snake's old tongue specifically studied the magical animal of the rune snake. Thanks to them, I also know a lot about this animal."

"According to the written records of the researchers and pioneers, there are three different brains growing on the three heads of the rune snake, and each of the three brains has different functions—"

"The left brain is the planner, it decides where the runegrass will go and what it will do; the middle brain is the visionary, and when this brain dominates, the runegrass will often stay in the A place motionless, wallowing in longing and fantasy..."

As Newt spoke, he walked up to the 30-foot-long rune snake and pointed out the characteristics of the three heads to Dracula, "The brain on the far right is the critic, the most aggressive, so The mouth on the right has long teeth, and the teeth are very poisonous."

"The right-hand head of the rune-snake is the most irritable one. It will constantly comment on the behavior of the left and middle heads, and make an impatient hissing sound. Because of this, there are often rune-snakes who lose their right-hand heads. ..."

"It's interesting that there is such a saying." Dracula looked at the three snake heads in front of him with interest, and murmured.

"So why did the rune snake lose its right head? Could it be bitten off by the other two heads?"

After saying this guess, Dracula himself first laughed, "If the three heads on a snake can still fight among themselves, this magical animal is too stupid."

"You guessed it right... the three heads of the Rune snake will really fight among themselves." Newt nodded helplessly beside him.

"There really are such stupid magical animals?" Dracula said in amazement, "It also has three heads, but the three-headed dog raised by Hagrid doesn't seem to be so stupid... Well, although it will fall asleep when it hears music Also not very smart."

"Unlike the rune snakes, although the three-headed dogs have three heads, at least their thinking is unified." Newt also shook his head with a smile, "The other two heads of the rune snakes are often on the right. When the head keeps criticizing them, join hands to bite it off."

"It is also because the three heads will often attack each other, so the lifespan of the rune snake is usually not too long."

He stroked the big head on the right side of the rune snake on the ground with pity, and sighed softly, "This one is because I have thought of many ways to make his three heads live in harmony, which made him reach his present position. size."

"In addition to this one, I have another rune snake of normal size, but the right side of the head of that one will need to wear a hood for a while."

"It seems a pity." Dracula also reached out his hand and patted the head in the middle of the rune snake. "I was not very interested in magical animals in the past. Otherwise, I just admired these stupid and cute animals." All kinds of stupid things that animals do may pass a lot of time."

"You won't regret being with animals, Professor Dracula." Newt laughed. "Animals are much more interesting than wizards."

"I agree with this point, some wizards are simply boring." Dracula nodded approvingly, "But you haven't told me the most important thing—why doesn't this rune snake attack the basilisk? ?”

"This is because before I went down to the inside of the cave, I saw the rune snake with its middle head sticking out at the front." Newt explained, "When the illusionist in the middle is the leader, the rune snake is very aggressive. low."

"If it wasn't for the basilisk threatening him too much, I even doubt that he would suddenly go into a daze."

"Is that so..."

Dracula looked at the rune snake, which was paralyzed on the ground, and had been in a daze for an unknown time, and then turned his head to look at the basilisk, which was full of grievances and stuck in the ground, feeling a little guilty for no reason.

So, he snapped his fingers silently, and used the transfiguration technique to restore the ground where the basilisk fell to its original state, and rescued the basilisk from the ground.

Afterwards, Dracula thought for a while, and cast two more healing spells on the basilisk and the rune snake.

"It's true that I blamed them wrong just now." He said to Newt, "Now that I've treated them, there shouldn't be any major problems."

Speaking, Dracula looked at the two big snakes in turn.

"Do you have any other questions?" he asked in a "gentle" tone.

Hearing Dracula's icy tone that was gentle on the surface but actually made the air drop a few degrees, the huge bodies of the rune snake and the basilisk couldn't help shivering, and then began to shake their heads non-stop.

The basilisk shook its head better, but the three-headed rune snake was a little funny.

The three heads have three different thoughts, and there is no tacit understanding at all. They can only shake around each other in a disorderly manner. There is often a phenomenon that one head bumps into another head, and even the neck behind the middle head and the right head almost hits. Knot...

The peace that had been kept in Newt's suitcase by three rune snake brains for decades was almost broken today!

The messy movements of these three big heads made Newt terrified. He hurried to the rune snake and tried his best to calm their emotions.

After finally calming down the three heads, Newt turned around and saw Dracula standing behind him watching the scene with great interest.

"Uh, Professor Dracula, otherwise you can go outside to admire other magical animals."

After deliberating for a long time, Newt thought of a way to tactfully drive Dracula away, "I can handle this well, so I don't need to trouble you to help here."

However, Dracula is quite ignorant of himself, completely unaware that he has been rejected, and is still watching the show with great interest.

"I'm just looking at these two big guys, where did Nagini go?" He asked Newt while looking around in the cave.

"It should be on the other side of the cave, right?" Newt guessed, "Another normal-sized rune snake is on the other side, and Nagini should be with her." Dracula nodded slightly, and walked towards the other end of the cave.

After walking a few steps, he saw a twelve-foot-long adder staying with a six-seven-foot-long rune snake, making a "hissing" sound from time to time, obviously happily using the snake's old tongue. communicating.

As Newt said, the other rune snake was indeed a normal size, with a brown leather hood covering the right side of its head.

The position of the mouth on the right side is firmly sealed by the hood, which completely eliminates the possibility of "critics" commenting on the behavior of the middle and left side of the head.

Now, it is the head in the middle that is communicating with Nagini. The two snakes seem to be freely talking about the past and imagining the future.

"These two snakes seem to be getting along quite happily and don't need any adjustments." Dracula called back to Newt, "So do you need any help from me, Mr. Scamander?"

"No need, Professor Dracula, I can handle it alone!" Newt shouted quickly, "Nagini and Mr. Basilisk will be assigned to two suitable areas to settle here!"

"Well, you're a professional."

Dracula shrugged, and flew away from the dark cave a little bored.

He roamed aimlessly in different environments, watching the different postures of magical animals in different ecology, and his mind drifted to the distance unconsciously...

On a lonely island, under a tall guardian tree, a few slender green tree-bending hunchbacks looked curiously at this silver-haired figure floating over.

Dracula leaned on the tree, his wine-red eyes flickered slightly, and a memory belonging to Nagini's past quietly appeared in his sight——

He still remembered that in the memories detected from Viper's eyes, besides the early days of Momo Lake, there were some other very interesting contents.

After Nagini's consciousness belonging to the Viper completely became complete, he experienced an unknown number of years alone in the Albanian forest.

Until one day, a remnant soul that has been stripped of its body, worse than a ghost, and more fragile than the humblest wandering soul quietly appears, and this forest has an unexpected visitor.

That was Voldemort who died under his own Killing Curse!

Voldemort's state is too weak, so that he can only parasitize on various small animals, absorbing the few vitality in animals.

Until one day, Voldemort found Nagini.

As Voldemort's favorite snake, Nagini also possesses wisdom that is not inferior to others, which makes him very satisfied.So Voldemort didn't absorb the life force from Nagini, but instead made friends with the adder.

In the forests of Albania, a remnant and a snake communicated in the old snake tongue, and spent more than ten years with each other, until a young man named Quirinus Quirreau appeared. In the middle of the forest...

When Voldemort returned to Albania again, and wanted to make Nagini his sixth horcrux to accompany him, he did not expect that the originally close partner of the viper had been obstructed by the basilisk, and he recognized it. The true face of Voldemort's cruelty and arrogance, he chose to leave.

Since then, Nagini has never seen Voldemort again.

……

Dracula slowly opened his eyes.

Among Nagini's past memories, the most valuable information should be the different states of Voldemort when he came to the Albanian forest several times.

When Nagini first met Voldemort, Voldemort was the kind of dark wizard with a horcrux in a weak state after death. His remnant soul, which was worse than ghosts and wandering spirits, could only parasitize in other living things and survive by plundering vitality. own survival.

However, the Death Curse, a death-on-touch curse, has a powerful effect that is close to the rules, and can actually annihilate the soul in the wizard's body in an instant.

So how did Voldemort's remnant soul survive under the rebounding Killing Curse?

Dracula frowned slightly, recalling the scene when Voldemort's soul was annihilated in front of him twice——

For the first time, he used the bloody water prison, a soul-eroding magic, to crush Voldemort's soul to nothing.At that time, no remnant souls escaped from the water prison.

But Dracula could still sense that Voldemort wasn't completely dead.

The second time, in order not to let himself be captured and imprisoned by Dracula, Voldemort decisively chose to kill himself and burned his own soul.

This time, too, no trace of Voldemort's soul remained, and no remnant escaped from it either.

However, this time, Dracula did not feel as clearly as the first time, and could not confirm the fact that Voldemort was still alive in an instant.

Does this prove that the more times of death, the weaker the soul power of the Horcrux holder?

Dracula shook his head slightly.

Despicable Hai Erbo is the best example.

In the confrontation with Andros, over 2000 years, Hai Erbo has been annihilated by the soul countless times.However, when Dracula eliminated him in the secret realm on the top of Mount Olympus, he could still feel the clear signs of Hai Erbo's survival.

This seems to prove that no matter how many times the holder of the Horcrux is revived, the soul power will not be weakened to an unfeeling level.

Then when Voldemort's soul was annihilated for the second time, why was his perception so unclear?

Dracula compared the scene when he annihilated Voldemort's soul for the first time with the scene when he was in the secret place on the top of Mount Olympus, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

According to Andros, he united many ancient Greek wizards, and with the help of the belief and cohesion of the Greek nation, he successfully built a secret realm that confined Haierbo's soul.

Therefore, Haierbo can only be resurrected in the secret realm every time he is reborn, that is to say, his weak and remnant soul after death always stays in the secret realm.

Perhaps this is why Dracula can clearly perceive Hai Erbo's survival.Hai Erbo's soul is close enough to him!

As for the first time when Voldemort's soul was annihilated, Dracula and Voldemort were not far from Hogwarts Castle, not even out of the range of the anti-apparition spell.

And Dracula now knows that there were two Horcruxes of Voldemort in Hogwarts Castle at that time-Tom Riddle's diary and Ravenclaw's diadem.

It is very likely that Voldemort's remnant soul was resurrected at the nearest Horcrux location.But in order to prevent being discovered by Dumbledore and Dracula, he fled out of the castle as soon as he appeared, without letting anyone know.

It was precisely because of this short distance that Dracula had a very clear perception that Voldemort was still alive.

As for the second time, Voldemort set himself on fire in front of Dracula.

For the sake of concealment, the bunker jointly built by several pure-blood families is located in a very remote suburb, and it is very likely that it is quite far from Voldemort's Horcrux.

If Voldemort will definitely be reborn around his Horcrux, then the too long distance may indeed prevent Dracula from clearly perceiving the signs of Voldemort's survival.

Dracula once again recalled the scene when Nagini first saw Voldemort's remnant soul-at that time, Voldemort was so weak that he could hardly maintain his own soul and body stability.

This is actually not normal.

Voldemort had probably come a long way by then.

And Dracula also knew that Harry Potter was inadvertently made into a Horcrux by Voldemort.

Therefore, Voldemort probably turned into a remnant soul around Harry on the spot, and then traveled thousands of miles from Godric's Hollow where the Potter family lived to the Albanian forest.

"So why did Voldemort travel all the way to Albania?" Dracula thought inexplicably.

"Strange, what's so special about this forest?"
