Professor The Vampire Earl of Hogwarts

"Actually, the kind of mermaid that Muggles imagine doesn't exist..."

Dracula glanced at the sad Justin Finch, and said casually: "It is very likely that they have seen mermaids in warm waters, and then recorded the images of those mermaids."

"Are the mermaids in the warm waters different from the mermaids in the black lake?" Justin's eyes once again showed a glimmer of hope, "Is there any kind of beautiful mermaid with long hair?"

"Of course, that kind of mermaid is more pleasing to the eye." Dracula smiled lightly, "Including temper, appearance, and character, they are much stronger than the mermaids in these cold water areas."

Speaking of which, the corner of Dracula's mouth couldn't help but twitch a mocking arc.

He had a lot of conflicts with the mermaid group, and even personally transformed a mermaid leader into a vampire's lowest blood servant, causing that small mermaid group to fall into serious civil strife.

The thing is, in 1811, Grogan Stump, the Minister of Magic at the time, set a new definition of "man", and the magical community reached an agreement, together with the definition of "beast"——

Humans, namely wizards and Muggles, are included in this category, along with goblins, vampires, hags, giants, house-elves, veela and werewolves in human form.

However, centaurs and mermaids refused to be called "human" because they did not want to share the title of "human" with vampires and hags, and voluntarily classified them as "beasts".

At that time, these two ethnic groups with little ability but high self-esteem made Dracula very angry.

He directly picked two of the happiest mermaid and centaur tribes, and easily transformed the leaders of the two tribes into blood servants, and then stayed out of it, admiring those races that thought they were noble. What would happen to the vampire they despised later.

Not living up to Dracula's expectations, the two leaders could not control their blood-sucking desire, and were soon exposed to the eyes of the tribe.

The mermaids and centaurs of these two groups quickly fell into civil strife after discovering that the leader had turned into a lowly vampire. Countless lower-level centaur and mermaid wanted to overthrow the rule of the leader and maintain the purity of the group...

"It's ridiculous. The most proud and conceited mermaid population is not those pleasing mermaids in warm waters, but these monsters in cold water." Dracula sneered, "I really can't figure out what they have to be proud of."

Justin, Ernie MacMillan, and Susan Burns shuddered simultaneously.

They felt that the temperature around them, which was not very warm, suddenly dropped several degrees, and suddenly became extremely cold.

Justin tremblingly glanced at the picture on the Hogwarts title deed, seeing those ugly mermaids surrounding Fleur Delacour whose ankles were entangled in water plants, silently handed them He gave a pitying look.

Sure enough, just before the mermaid's steel fork was about to touch Furong, Dracula suddenly flew up from the Hufflepuff audience.

He appeared above the water of the Black Lake in an instant, with a faint sneer hanging from the corner of his mouth, and he swung his wand violently.

The next moment, under the horrified eyes of everyone, the lake created a stormy sea, and a huge water column shot into the sky, almost engulfing half of the sky.

A huge wall of water towered high above the lake, with clouds surging and snow spraying, the whole black lake seemed to be split into two halves suddenly!

Half of it is a huge water wall, and the other half is an invisible bottomless abyss.

Compared with the water wall of the lake, the Hogwarts title deed, which has been magnified countless times, seems to be a small building in front of the Sky Building, standing there tremblingly, no longer the momentum it used to be.

In the picture on the title deed, it can be seen that Fleur Delacour, who was entangled in aquatic plants and wrapped in mermaids, suddenly shone a beam of sunlight, illuminating her silvery long hair and also lighting up her eyes. Already dimmed light.

Then, a waterspout quietly formed at the bottom of the lake, cut the aquatic plants in half, and then lifted Furong's body to the surface of the lake.

I don’t know when a group of mermaids were rolled into the waterspout, just like a drum washing machine, and those ugly mermaids and their pet Grindylo were thrown back and forth, and many of them were lost directly. consciousness.

Justin, who was standing with Dracula not long ago, swallowed.

"Professor Dracula must have done it on purpose, right?" He whispered to Susan and Ernie beside him.

Susan and Ernie nodded silently, deeply agreeing.

"Ahem...Professor Dracula, stop your magic first."

Dumbledore stood up from the judges' seat and coughed twice, "Actually, I have already reached an agreement with the mermaid. They are just putting on a show and won't really hurt Miss Delacour."

"Do you dare to believe what these guys say?" Dracula turned his head and raised his eyebrows to look at Dumbledore, "They have often backstabbed others. If it were me, I would definitely not do it with them." What agreement."

"Don't worry, we have signed an unbreakable contract, and they cannot break it." Dumbledore said helplessly, "Theoretically speaking, these mermaids can also be regarded as staff members of the Big Four Tournament..."

"So that's how it is!" Dracula blinked, as if he had suddenly realized, but the waterspout on the water didn't show any intention of stopping.

But Dracula's expression is too innocent. Anyway, Justin and the three little Hufflepuff wizards can't see at all that this narrow-minded professor thought of the previous festival with the mermaid and wanted to give these Mermaid a little lesson.

Seeing that Dracula didn't want to take back the magic, Dumbledore had no choice but to do it himself, waving his wand to fish out the mermaids from the waterspout.

Poor these mermaids, they were still in a coma when they were stuffed back into the water by Dumbledore, and I'm afraid they won't be able to wake up for a while.

Watching those mermaids return to the water, Dracula curled his lips boredly, waved his hands, and smashed the water wall on the lake back to the water surface, making a deafening "boom".

Dumbledore shook his head helplessly again, and waved his wand again to calm the lake.

At this moment, the rescued Fleur was also let down from the waterspout by Dracula, and Madam Pomfrey was rushing over to check the warrior's physical condition.

"Professor, can I ask you to save my sister, she is not yet ten years old!" Before Madam Pomfrey came to check, Fleur eagerly shouted at Dracula.

"Huh? What happened to your sister?" Dracula asked casually after landing from the sky.

He snapped his fingers conveniently, and Furong's wet body immediately became dry, as if she hadn't entered the water.

"My sister, Gabriel Delacour, must have been taken away by the mermaid." Fleur said anxiously, "I found out that Gabriel disappeared early this morning, and then I thought of the golden egg given away. I have already guessed that she is my 'treasure' mentioned in the hint."

"But I'm disqualified from continuing the competition, and I'm sure I won't be able to rescue Gabriel... If she hasn't been rescued in an hour, the lake will drown her!"

Dracula looked at the distraught and extremely pale Fu Rong with great interest, and was a little curious in his heart whether this mixed-race Veela would conjure a pointed beak when she was extremely anxious.

"Ahem..." Dumbledore's cough interrupted Dracula's thoughts.

Dracula raised his head and saw that Dumbledore was being pestered by the headmaster of Beauxbatons, Ms. Maxim, in the judges' seat, asking all kinds of questions, almost impatient.

Only then did he finally let go of his thoughts on watching the play, and said to Fu Rong:

"Well, actually your sister will be fine, it's just a game, there's no need to risk your life."

"However, many lives were lost in the previous four-strong competition!" Fu Rong was still full of anxiety, pacing back and forth, as if she wanted to jump into the black lake again at any time.

"Well," Dracula saw that Furong was still worried, so he could only add, "If your sister has not been rescued after an hour has passed, I will rescue her myself, how about it?"

Only then did Furong heave a sigh of relief, allowing Madam Pomfrey who had just arrived to drag her to check.

Dracula's strength has been verified by everyone. If the security officer who is so strong as to violate the rules agrees to rescue Gabriel, then Gabriel's safety should be guaranteed... Fu Rong thinks so.

Even though one warrior was eliminated, the game still continued.

The song of the mermaid reminding the game time rang out from under the black lake——

"Only an hour to find and retrieve what we took...don't delay, half the time is over before what you seek rots here..."

Halfway through the game time, the first warrior who discovered the "treasure" finally appeared.

Unsurprisingly, it's John Kowalski riding a kelpie.

At this time, it can be seen from the Hogwarts title deed, which once again became the tallest building on the site after the water wall disappeared, that John swam to a place like a village.

While looking around, he drove the horse-shaped water monster to swim quickly.

There are many dwellings made of stone around, and they are still increasing.Gradually, the shapes of those dwellings became more and more refined, and some dwellings were surrounded by gardens—spaces planted with aquatic plants and lotus pods.

Some small dwellings had a small Grinlody on a leash, like a watchdog.

Mermaids emerged from all directions, and they all looked at John curiously. When they saw the horse-shaped water monster under John, their eyes showed vigilance. Some mermaids took out steel forks from the house, while others covered their hands Whispering.

John quickly turned a corner and arrived at a very strange scene.

The place seemed to be the square of a small mermaid village, surrounded by houses, and in front of them a large school of mermaids floated.

Some mermaids in the middle were singing in unison, calling for the warriors to come over.Behind them stood a crude statue: a mermaid carved out of boulders.On the tail of the mermaid stone statue, five people were firmly bound.

Most of these people's faces were familiar, including Qiu Zhang, Ginny, Rove, and a little girl with cloudy silver hair.

Viewers compared this silver hair to Fleur's, and soon realized that the little girl, at most eight years old, was the sister Fleur had just mentioned, Gabrielle Delacour.

In addition to these four young wizards, there is also an older wizard wearing the uniform of the Bulgarian Quidditch National Quidditch Team.

All five of them seemed to be in a deep sleep, with their heads limply shrugged on their shoulders, and a string of thin blisters kept coming out of their mouths.

"Ginny! Why is she there?" Ron in the audience exclaimed, "Also, isn't that Hilma Dennison? It seems to be Klum's best friend in the Bulgarian national team."

He turned to look at Hermione, only to find that Hermione's face was a little red.

"What's wrong with you, Hermione?" Ron asked strangely.

"It's nothing..." Hermione covered her face with her hands and shook her head heavily.

What she didn't tell Ron was that the staff of the original Four Strong Tournament planned to find her as Krum's "treasure".

But because of the conflict with Ron some time ago, and the dilemma that Harry couldn't find a way to deal with the game, Hermione deeply realized that her two friends probably needed her more than Krum.

So she declined the staff's invitation and chose to stay in the library with Harry and Ron to find a way to deal with the second game.

The staff of the Four-wild Tournament had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and found Krum's best friend on the Bulgarian National Quidditch team...or his only friend, as Krum's "treasure" arrangement In the depths of the lake.

At this moment, in the picture on the title deed, John was keenly aware of what he should do.

So he took out his wand from his pocket, leaned close to the rope wrapped around Rove's body, and said silently:

"Diffindo."

As an experienced adult wizard, the effect of using spells in water is obviously much stronger than that of Harry.

Although this cutting curse was not as powerful as the one on the ground, it was enough to cut off the rope on Rove's body.

After rescuing Rove, John drove the horse-shaped water monster to circle above the water without hesitation, setting off violent waves.

"Okay, our first warrior has succeeded!" In the commentary, Bagman shouted, "Mr. John Kowalski, he rescued him in less than four and ten minutes." lost his partner!"

After John surfaced, the audience erupted into cheers.

He smiled wearily, put Rove on the shore, and waved at the horse-shaped water monster.

This 4X magical animal turned around in a circle before disappearing into the deep lake.

However, unlike the excited and cheering audience, Fu Rong, who was sitting in the medical tent, looked somewhat disappointed——

She thought the other warriors would help her save her sister.

"There's no need to be sullen." Dracula laughed softly and said to her.

"Even if other warriors don't save your sister, there will still be a fool in this game who will save those who have nothing to do with him despite the dissuasion of others."
