Professor The Vampire Earl of Hogwarts

Half of the sun had already set beyond the distant skyline, and a piece of extremely beautiful bright glow dyed the sky red in the afterglow of the setting sun.

A thin line of mist emerged from the forest below, reflecting the twilight on the ground and the brilliance of the sky even more.

The silver luxury car flew quietly in the half-dark sky, and the car body was also dyed a bright red by the sun's rays, interlacing with the gradually rising star curtain in the sky.

Today, the car is no longer exposed to ultraviolet rays, and the ink on the car glass has been manually turned off by Dracula.

Through the car window, he looked at the twilight of the Albanian forest, which was reflected reddishly by the setting sun, and frowned slightly.

Even at the end, Dracula did not find any unusual sights in this forest, nor did he find any special places.

'Maybe I'm just overthinking it? '

Holding the steering wheel, he took a last look at the forest below which he was about to fly past, thinking silently.

Newt sat in the passenger seat holding Teddy Niffler, stroking its fluffy fur.

This Niffler had just done a great job, successfully poking out of the box with its small paws, and releasing Newt from the tightly closed lid.

As for the culprit, Dracula, who closed the box lid and snapped the button, he slipped out of the box early with dark moon magic, and lifted Newt and the box directly out of the Rolls-Royce. People then embarked on a journey to Romania again.

The car sped away in the northeast direction.

Time passed, when bright stars hung high in the sky, a steep mountain appeared at the end of Dracula's vision.

The pitch-black city wall stood gloomy on the ridge, and cloudy clouds shrouded the peaks, obscuring the outline of the Castle Lake.

The crooked moon hangs above the cloudy clouds, and the cold moonlight is cut into layers and pieces of trivial shapes by the clouds, scattered messily on the city wall, vaguely showing a few phantoms of flying bats, with a gloomy look. scene.

But in this gloomy look, there is also an alternative atmosphere and prosperity.

"So... welcome to Dracula's Castle, Mr. Scamander."

Dracula raised the corner of his mouth and said to Newt beside him.

Newt looked up sleepily, looking at the precipitous mountain and the castle standing on the ridge under the cloud and reflected by the messy moonlight.

"Is this the legendary Dracula's castle?" He couldn't help but wondered in his eyes, and murmured, "I always thought that Brown Castle was the stronghold of Romanian vampires, but I didn't expect that there was another castle hidden behind it." A bigger castle."

Newt sat up straight and stretched his sore waist and neck.

After all, he was still old, and after sitting in the car for several hours, Newt felt a little flustered, even though the seat had been transformed by Dracula's magic.

Teddy, who was curled up in his arms, was sleeping soundly. After being woken up by Newt's movement, he gave him a complaining look, rubbed his eyes, and stretched out his two short arms. Lazy.

Afterwards, Teddy climbed up to the windshield of the car along Newt's legs, pressed his two small eyes against the glass, and looked curiously at any shining place that was illuminated by the moonlight outside the window.

"Brown Castle is, in fact, only a front, Mr. Scamander."

Dracula held the steering wheel with one hand, rubbed and sniffed Teddy's head with the other hand, and after drawing Teddy's dissatisfied gaze, he smiled and said to Newt:

"Let me think about how to describe it...Brown Castle should be regarded as an external office of Dracula's Castle, right? Some peripheral vampires will be on duty there, while monitoring the behavior of other vampires."

"After all, vampires are still dark creatures. There are always some unruly guys who like to secretly suck the blood of Muggles. We are responsible for the local security."

Dracula introduced to Newt.

"Responsible for law and order?" Newt had absurd emotions in his eyes.

Even a magizoologist like Newt, who has no discrimination against any creature and is contemptuous, can't associate the word vampire with maintaining law and order at all.

Of course, Newt will not, like other wizards, have stereotypes about vampires, which are classified as "people" by the Ministry of Magic. He knows that among the vampire group, there are also some beings who can communicate with ordinary people normally.

Even in this group, there are very good and successful people such as vampire singer Loken Deyce.

But as a magizoologist, Newt also knows that most of the lowest-level vampires have not escaped their old habits after all, and still maintain the urge to suck human blood indiscriminately, unable to control their desire to eat at all.

This kind of vampire often becomes a destroyer and disruptor of the law and order in the wizarding world, just like the stereotype of wizards.

So he couldn't imagine that this Dracula's castle actually had an external office of Brown's castle, which was used to maintain the stability of the magic society!

"Don't be so unconvinced, Mr. Scamander." Dracula chuckled, "Let me ask you a question first: In this area of ​​Romania, a large-scale magical accident that endangered public order suddenly occurred. Who do you think caused it in the first place?"

Newt froze for a moment, and said with some hesitation:

"Although I don't subconsciously think of the magical accident caused by someone, but if you think about it...the wizards living in Romania probably think of vampires and werewolves first, right?"

"I remember I stayed in the fire dragon sanctuary in Romania for a while." Newt's eyes flickered, thinking, "At that time, whenever a fire dragon was hurt, the dragon trainers in the sanctuary would often go to the vampire first. to doubt."

"In comparison, the werewolves in Romania are a little bit better, because they are still infected by humans after all, and they are only powerful enough to be aggressive and uncontrollable during the night of the full moon."

"However, vampires are different. In the general view of wizards, vampires need to drink blood at any time, and they have the uncontrollability of being unable to control their blood-sucking desire."

While talking, Newt's eyes gradually showed surprise, "So... in order to prevent others from suspecting you, the group of vampires took the initiative to maintain law and order in the magic world?"

"This is a relatively important reason." Dracula nodded lightly, "In order to prevent other magical accidents from endangering the not-so-positive reputation of the vampire group, we are naturally responsible for the security of the Romanian magic community."

"Of course, that's not the main reason." Dracula suddenly raised the corners of his mouth happily.

"Have you dealt with the Romanian Ministry of Magic, Mr Scamander?" he asked softly.

"It's not considered to have dealt with..." Newt said, "However, when I was in the Fire Dragon Reserve, I met a few officials from the Romanian Ministry of Magic, and he also chatted with me during the day when I was communicating with Minister Albertel. About the Romanian Ministry of Magic."

"Abertel commented like this - he told me that the wizards of the Romanian Ministry of Magic are usually very arrogant, but as soon as the name of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts is mentioned, they will immediately become arrogant. A look of secretiveness..."

Having said that, Newt's words froze suddenly.

He suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Dracula with disbelief.

"Could it be that……"

"You guessed it right, Mr. Scamander." Dracula laughed happily, "During the years of Dracula's Castle's operation, most of the seats in Romania's Ministry of Magic have long been occupied by senior vampires."

"We maintain the law and order of the Romanian magic world, which is equivalent to supporting the work of those companions in the Ministry of Magic. Why not do it?"

"No wonder... I used to think that the wizards in Romania were very enlightened, and they were willing to share the magic world with vampires." Newt showed a suddenly realized expression, "It seems that under the influence of Dracula's Castle, the wizards here are very interested Vampire prejudice is already light."

"Actually, when I lived in the Fire Dragon Reserve, I had a very profound experience—" Newt said,

"Most wizards with stereotypes about vampires are dragon trainers from other countries, and those who were born and raised in Romania have no other ideas about this group."

"I still vaguely remember that whenever a foreign wizard from the Fire Dragon Reserve wants to question a vampire, the officials of the Ministry of Magic will always make a big deal into a small matter, and take the matters questioned by those wizards lightly."

Newt smiled emotionally as he spoke.

"It's really amazing, Professor Dracula." He said with emotion, "It shouldn't be easy to do this, right?"

Seeing Newt's sincere eyes, Dracula's expression suddenly became a little unnatural. "Hey, it's not that difficult..." He coughed dryly.

How was this going to be explained to Scamander?

Is it possible to tell him that I haven't paid much attention to the vampire group for hundreds of years, and that it is actually my cheap daughter Serena who has subtly changed the reputation of vampires?

Dracula shook his head silently.

It would be too embarrassing for me to be the majestic Earl Dracula but to be the shopkeeper.

During the conversation, Dracula's Castle and the steep mountains below were getting closer.

The trivial moonlight unknowingly sprinkled on the silver car body, and Dracula's castle also appeared majestically in front of the eyes, like a heavy paperweight, firmly pressed on the mountain.

At this moment, a figure suddenly jumped up from the city wall below.

A pair of wings stretched out from his back and flapped gently, driving the figure to fly up, and finally stopped in front of Dracula's Rolls-Royce.

"Ahead is Dracula's Castle, outsiders are not allowed to enter!"

A cold voice came from the direction of the figure.

Dracula raised his head slightly, looking ahead of the vehicle with his excellent night vision.

The figure blocking the car was obviously a senior vampire.

His face does not have the evil charm of the blood race, but has a kind of gentle look.Her hair was scrupulously combed into a neat half-section and seemed to have been sprayed with gel, and a well-trimmed goatee topped her mouth.

Seeing this image, Dracula raised the corners of his mouth with interest, and gently rolled down the car window.

"Why are you on duty here? Didn't I approve your vacation?" He asked calmly.

The high-ranking vampire blocking in front of the vehicle originally pretended to be cold and cruel, trying to erect a demonic image of the vampire family and directly scare off the oncoming people, so that he would not have to do anything.

However, after hearing Dracula's voice, his cold expression couldn't hold back for an instant.

"Master Dracula?!"

He opened his eyes wide in surprise, and through the car window with the same excellent night vision, he saw that strangely handsome face and the signature silver hair hanging behind him.

"I was wrong, Master Dracula, I really didn't know it was you." He flapped his wings and flew out of the car window, and apologized to Dracula with some embarrassment, "Why did you come back suddenly, and you didn't let us greet you in advance?" you?"

It can be seen that this senior vampire is trying to bend down to salute, but the flapping of the wings in the suspended state needs to maintain balance, and he cannot bend his body at will.

So he could only keep his head down, silently looking at his toes hanging in the air.

"It's okay, it's not your fault." Dracula smiled lightly and waved his hands, "Speaking of...when did I inform you when I returned to the castle?"

"Uh..." The senior vampire looked at Dracula dully, then silently turned his gaze back to his toes.

As a young vampire who has been here for less than 100 years, he is completely ignorant of Dracula's behavior and habits. He dare not express any opinions at this time, so he can only continue to keep silent.

"Don't be so nervous, in fact, I'm easy to get along with." Seeing the nervousness of this subordinate, Dracula said casually, "How is your recent vacation?"

As he said that, he suddenly raised the corners of his mouth with great interest, "Did that old Auror named Robert remember your memory, Tesla?"

That's right, the young senior vampire in front of him is the protagonist in the book "Traveling with Vampires" written by Gilderoy Lockhart.

Lockhart took the memory of the old Auror Robert who really traveled with the vampire, and mercilessly erased the memory of Tesla from this rare wizard who was willing to make friends with the vampire. that bestseller.

However, the Forgetting Curse that Lockhart is most proud of was countered by Dracula a few months ago, and he lost most of his memory.

He probably could only spend the rest of his life in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries.Even when the money he saved from writing the book is completely spent, he is more likely to be kicked out of the hospital and become a homeless man with a bad mind.

Lockhart, who had done bad things with the Oblivion Curse all his life, was not happy with this fate.

However, Robert, whose memory was erased by him, lost his only friend in this life.

It was in order to restore this friendship that was on the verge of shattering that Tesla mustered up the courage to ask Dracula for a long vacation...

"Master Dracula, your judgment at that time was completely correct. Robert may never remember our common experience at that time in his life." Tesla sighed.

Immediately, a gleam of joy appeared in his eyes, "But I used this time to get to know Robert again. It's just a stalking to make a friend, and there's no need for him to refuse."

"So now you're friends again?" Dracula asked, giving him a surprised look.

"Yeah!" Tesla nodded emphatically, "Master Dracula, I'm not lazy at all, and I'll be back on duty immediately!"

Dracula nodded with a grin.

"Since you have started to be on duty, let me give you a task." He arranged, "I brought a guest this time, you can go to a few vampires outside to arrange some meals for the guests. There are rooms."

"Okay, Mr. Dracula, I'll do it myself." Tesla nodded and said, "I don't trust those low-level vampires to do things. What if they dissatisfy the distinguished guests?"

"You don't need to be so polite." Hearing this, Newt hurriedly persuaded him, "I'm used to eating and sleeping in the open, and any conditions are fine."

"Hey!" Sniffing Teddy also stood in front of the windshield and responded.

"That's impossible!" Tesla immediately retorted, "You are a distinguished guest brought by Mr. Dracula himself, and it is my responsibility to satisfy you!"

Then he added in a low voice: "Master Dracula, I must do this kind of thing myself."

"As the latest vampire to come to Dracula's Castle, I haven't made any outstanding contributions yet, yet I took the longest vacation ever among all vampires. Lord Alcatel seems to be dissatisfied with me..."

"If she can see my professional performance, maybe there is a chance to redeem it."

Looking at Tesla's cautious expression, Dracula couldn't help but laugh.

"Since you think so, then you go." He waved his hand casually, "Also, if Serena has any dissatisfaction with you because of the holiday, then you can just come to me to complain .”

"This little girl dares to be dissatisfied with the vacation I personally approved. I think she is rebellious!" Dracula said viciously.

Tesla was suspended in the air next to him, saying yes repeatedly.

But in his heart, he saw very clearly who he should please——

Even if Count Dracula is the spiritual symbol of the vampire family and has great actual power, he is too lazy to take care of things!

The usual big and small affairs of Dracula's castle, no matter how big or small, are all taken care of by Master Alcatel.

Under such circumstances, how dare you offend Lord Alcatel just because you have the support of Lord Dracula?

If the vengeful Master Alcatel remembers her, as soon as Master Dracula leaves, her revenge may come as scheduled...

So despite getting Dracula's promise to sue him at any time, Tesla still decided to work hard!
