Hogwarts vampire professor - Chapter 275

c274 under the lake

“Actually, the kind of mermaids imagined by Muggles does not exist…”

Dracula glanced at the sad Justin Finch-Fletchley 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 warm waters different from the mermaids in the black lake?” Justin’s eyes showed a hint of hope again, “Are there any beautiful mermaids with long hair?”

“Of course, that type of mermaid is more pleasing to the eye.” Dracula smiled languidly, “Including temperament, appearance and character, they are much better than the mermaids in these cold water areas.”

Having said this, Dracula couldn’t help but curl up with a mocking smile.

He had a lot of conflicts with the mermaid tribe, and he even personally transformed a mermaid leader into the lowest blood servant among vampires, causing the rather small mermaid tribe to fall into serious civil strife.

The thing is, in 1811, the then Minister of Magic Grogan Stump set a new definition of “human”, and the wizarding society reached a unanimous agreement, together with the definition of “beast”——

Humans, that is, wizards and Muggles, are classified into this category, along with goblins, vampires, hags, giants, house elves, veela, and werewolves in human form.

However, because centaurs and mermaids were unwilling to share the term “human” with vampires and hags, they refused to accept being “human” and voluntarily were classified as “beasts”.

At that time, these two groups with no ability but high self-esteem made Dracula very angry.

He directly picked the two most cheerful groups of mermaids and centaurs, and easily transformed the leaders of those two groups into blood servants. Then he stayed away and admired the races that considered themselves to be noble. What will happen to the vampires they despise?

Living up to Dracula’s expectations, the two leaders could not control their desire to suck blood, and they 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 their leader had turned into a lowly vampire. Countless lower-class centaurs and mermaids wanted to overthrow the leader’s rule and maintain the purity of the group…

“It’s ridiculous. The most arrogant and conceited mermaids are not the pleasing warm water mermaids, but these cold water monsters.” Dracula sneered, “I really can’t imagine what they have to be proud of.”

Justin, Ernie McMillan, and Susan Bones shivered simultaneously.

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

Justin trembled and glanced at the picture on the Hogwarts title deed, watching those ugly mermaids surrounding Fleur Delacour, whose ankles were entangled in water plants, and silently handed them the A look of pity.

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

He appeared above the Black Lake in an instant, with a vague sneer on his lips, and waved his wand violently.

The next moment, under the horrified eyes of everyone, the lake set off a stormy wave, and a huge water column shot into the sky, swallowing almost half of the sky.

A huge water wall stood high on the lake. The clouds were stirring, the light was shaking and the snow was spraying. The entire black lake seemed to be suddenly divided into two halves!

One half is a huge wall of water, and the other half is an abyss with no bottom.

The Hogwarts title deed, enlarged countless times, now seemed like a small building in front of the Sky Tower compared with the water wall of the lake. It stood there tremblingly and no longer had the same momentum as before.

In the picture on the land deed, you can see Fleur Delacour entangled in water plants and wrapped in a mermaid. Suddenly a beam of sunlight shines on her body, illuminating her long silver hair and lighting up the natural beauty in her eyes. The light has dimmed.

Then, a waterspout quietly formed at the bottom of the lake, cutting the water 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 sucked into the waterspout. It was like a drum washing machine, tossing those ugly mermaids and their pet Grindylow around. Many of them were lost. consciousness.

Justin, who had been 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 in agreement.

“Ahem… Professor Dracula, please stop your magic for a moment.”

Dumbledore stood up from the judges’ table and coughed twice, “Actually, I have reached an agreement with the mermaid. They are just pretending and will not really hurt Miss Delacour.”

“Do you dare to believe what these guys say?” Dracula turned his head and looked at Dumbledore with raised eyebrows, “They often backstab others. If it were me, I would definitely not do it with them. What kind of agreement?”

“Don’t worry, we have signed an unbreakable contract and they cannot break it.” Dumbledore said helplessly. “Theoretically, these mermaids can also be regarded as staff of the Four Wizard Tournament…”

“So that’s it!” Dracula blinked, pretending to be suddenly enlightened, but the waterspout on the water showed no intention of stopping.

But Dracula’s expression was too innocent. Anyway, Justin and the other three little Hufflepuff wizards couldn’t tell at all that this cautious professor was thinking about the previous dispute with the mermaid and wanted to give these A lesson from the mermaid.

Seeing that Dracula didn’t want to take back the magic, Dumbledore had no choice but to take action himself, waving his wand to fish the mermaids out of the waterspout.

Poor these mermaids, they were still unconscious when Dumbledore put them back into the water. I’m afraid they won’t wake up for a while.

Seeing those mermaids return to the water, Dracula curled his lips in boredom, waved his hand, and smashed the water wall on the lake back to the surface, making a deafening “rumbling” sound.

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

At this time, the rescued Fleur was also lowered from the waterspout by Dracula, and Madam Pomfrey was running over in a hurry, ready to check the warrior’s physical condition.

“Professor, can you please save my sister, she is not even ten years old yet!” Fleur shouted eagerly to Dracula before Madam Pomfrey came to check.

“Huh? What happened to your sister?” Dracula descended from the sky and asked casually.

He snapped his fingers, and Fleur’s wet body immediately became as dry as if she hadn’t been in the water.

“My sister, Gabrielle Delacour, must have been kidnapped by the mermaid.” Fleur said anxiously, “I found out that Gabrielle disappeared early this morning, and then I thought of the golden egg giving prompt, I have already guessed that she is my ‘treasure’ mentioned in the prompt.”

“But I have lost the qualification to continue the competition, and I will definitely not be able to rescue Gabrielle… If she is not rescued after an hour, the lake will drown her!”

Dracula looked at the anxious and extremely pale Fleur with interest, and was a little curious in his heart whether this half-Veela would conjure up 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 asked various questions by Beauxbatons’ principal, Ms. Maxime, on the judges’ bench, and he was almost furious.

He finally put aside his thoughts about watching the show and said to Furong:

“Well, actually your sister will be fine. It’s just a game, there’s no need to risk anyone’s life.”

“But there were a lot of lives lost in the previous semifinals!” Fleur was still anxious, pacing back and forth, as if she wanted to jump into the black lake again at any time.

“Well,” Dracula saw that Fleur was still worried, so he had to add, “If your sister is not rescued after an hour, I will rescue her myself, how about it?”

Fleur breathed a sigh of relief and allowed Madam Pomfrey, who had just arrived, to pull her for inspection.

Dracula’s strength has been verified by everyone. If this security officer who is so powerful agrees to rescue Gabrielle, then Gabrielle’s safety should be guaranteed… or so Fleur thought.

Even though one warrior was eliminated, the game still went on.

The mermaid’s song to indicate the time of the game sounded under the black lake——

“You have but one hour to find and retake what we have taken… Don’t delay, the time is already half gone, lest what you are looking for rot here…”

Halfway through the game, the first warrior who discovered the “treasure” finally appeared.

As expected, it’s John Kowalski riding a kelpie.

At this time, it can be seen from the title deed of Hogwarts, which has returned to being the tallest building on the site after the water wall disappeared, that John swam to a place that looked like a village.

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

There are many stone dwellings around, and the number is growing. Gradually, the shapes of those dwellings became more and more exquisite, and some of them were surrounded by gardens—spaces planted with water plants and lotus pods.

There are some small Green Lodi tied in front of the door of some shacks, like a guard dog.

Mermaids emerged from all directions, looking 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, and some covered them with their hands. Mouth whispering.

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

The place seemed to be the square of a small mermaid village, surrounded by some houses, and a large group of mermaids floating in front of the houses.

In the middle, some mermaids were singing in unison, calling for the warriors to come over. Behind them stood a crude statue: a giant mermaid carved from a boulder. Five people were tightly tied to the tail of the mermaid stone statue.

Most of these people’s faces are familiar, including Qiu Zhang, Ginny, Luo Fei, and a little girl with cloud-like silver hair.

The audience compared this silver hair with Fleur’s, and soon realized that the little girl who was at most eight years old was the sister that 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 sleeping deeply, with their heads hanging limply on their shoulders, and a string of thin blisters popping out of their mouths.

“Ginny! Why is she there?” Ron in the audience exclaimed, “Also, isn’t that Hilma Denison? She seems to be Krum’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 Four Wizard Tournament originally planned to find her as Krum’s “treasure”.

However, due to the conflict with Ron some time ago and Harry’s dilemma of not being able to cope with the competition, 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 ways to deal with the second game.

The staff of the Four-wizard Tournament had no choice but to do the next best thing and find Krum’s best friend in the Bulgarian national Quidditch team…or rather his only friend, as Krum’s “treasure” arrangement Deep in the lake.

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

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

“Diffindo.”

As an experienced adult wizard, the effect of his spells in water is obviously much stronger than Harry’s.

Although this cutting spell is not as powerful as the one on the ground, it is enough to cut off the rope on Roof’s body.

After rescuing Rolf, John drove the horse-shaped water monster to circle above the water without hesitation, causing violent waves.

“Okay, our first warrior has succeeded!” Bagman shouted loudly in the commentary box, “Mr. John Kowalski, it only took him less than forty minutes to rescue Killed his partner!”

After John surfaced, the audience burst into cheers.

He smiled a little tiredly, put Rolf on the shore, and then waved to the horse-shaped water monster.

This 4X-level magical animal spun around in circles and then disappeared into the deep lake.

However, unlike the excited and cheering audience, Fleur sitting in the medical tent looked a little disappointed——

She thought other warriors would help her rescue her sister.

“There’s no need to look down.” Dracula chuckled softly and said to her.

“Even if other warriors don’t save your sister, there will still be a stupid boy in this game who will save those who have nothing to do with him regardless of others’ dissuasion.”
