Hogwarts vampire professor - Chapter 283

c282 “Filch” and the accident on Mount Olympus

“Ladies and gentlemen, in five minutes, I will invite everyone to the Quidditch pitch to watch the final event of the Triwizard Tournament…”

When stars appeared on the enchanted ceiling, Dumbledore stood up in front of the staff seat and everyone fell silent.

The dinner was richer than usual, but the warriors didn’t eat much. They were all feeling very nervous now.

“…Now please brave warriors follow Mr. Bagman to the sports ground.”

Dumbledore clapped his hands and motioned to the warriors present to follow Bagman who was standing at the door of the auditorium.

Harry stood up and the Gryffindor students looked at him and applauded him.

The Weiss family and Sirius were also sitting at the Gryffindor table – they were all former Gryffindor students, and they were also wishing him good luck.

At the same time, there was a burst of warm applause from the seats of Beauxbatons, Yinfalmon and Durmstrang on the long table of Hufflepuff House.

Harry, Cedric, Fleur, Viktor and John came together to applause and walked out of the Great Hall.

“Are you feeling okay, Harry?” When they walked down the stone steps, Bagman followed up and asked, “Are you confident?”

“Very good,” said Harry.

He told the truth. Although he was really nervous, he kept reviewing the magic spells he had learned during this period in his mind. Those complex spells were vivid in his mind, as if he could blurt them out with a wave of a magic wand.

This feeling of confidence made him feel better.

The warriors walked all the way to the location of the original Quidditch pitch – it had become completely unrecognizable. Even Harry and Cedric, who had been training here for a long time, simply couldn’t believe that this was once a pitch.

A twenty-foot-high hedge surrounded the edge of the field, leaving only a gap in front of them, which was probably the entrance to this giant maze.

The passage inside the maze is dark, and you can’t see anything when standing outside, which makes it a bit scary.

“Hey, has the safety officer professor arrived?” Fleur glanced at the entrance of the maze and found a silver-haired figure standing high on the hedge surrounding the maze.

A clear crescent moon hangs behind Dracula.

Tonight is a waning moon, and the crescent moon is lying on its lower right side, as if it is holding the back of Dracula’s head, turning it into a crystal pillow to please him.

“I remember when we left the auditorium, wasn’t he still eating in the faculty seat?” John asked curiously, “Why did he arrive before us?”

“Professor Dracula’s routine, just get used to it.” Cedric said with a chuckle.

Five minutes later, people began to enter the stands.

Hundreds of students filed into their seats, and the air was filled with excited voices and chaotic footsteps.

Lights lit up around the maze, merging with the stars in the sky and illuminating the place.

Hagrid, Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick walked into the playing field and approached Bagman and several warriors.

Their hats were all adorned with large, glowing red stars, except for Hagrid, whose red star was on the back of his terry vest – and the professors were at a loss to find a hat that suited him.

“In addition to Professor Dracula, we will also be patrolling outside the maze,” Professor McGonagall said to the warriors. “If you encounter difficulties and want to be rescued, you must fire red sparks into the sky in time. Someone will come to help you. have you understood?”

The warriors nodded together.

“In addition, if you encounter a very urgent danger and you don’t have time to cast red sparks, remember to shout loudly,” Professor McGonagall warned. “Professor Dracula can usually hear your shouts.”

She looked emphatically at the two Hogwarts students, Harry and Cedric, and took a deep breath.

“Wish you good luck in the competition!”

After Bagman waited for Professor McGonagall to finish his explanation, he walked up to the three patrol members who had made temporary guest appearances.

“Then I’ll trouble you, three professors!” he said happily to them.

“Good luck to you, Harry.” Hagrid whispered a blessing to Harry before turning and leaving.

The three professors walked away in different directions and spread out around the maze.

Then Bagman pointed his wand at his throat and said “loud”, and his magically amplified voice echoed in the stands.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the last event of the Four-wizard Tournament is about to begin!” he said excitedly.

“Now, let me report the scores of the current five warriors in the first two events – John Kowalski, with a total score of 105 points, and the current number one is Yinfamouni Magic School!”

There was a round of applause, but the majority of the Hogwarts students in the audience were not too enthusiastic, so the applause was not too loud.

“Next is the second and third place, Cedric Diggory, and Harry Potter – they have 102 points and 98 points respectively. The two warriors from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry happen to be lined up together. , Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry ranks second!”

It was only then that extremely warm applause and cheers erupted from the field, frightening the birds in the Forbidden Forest to fly into the completely darkened night sky.

Although Hogwarts did not win the first place, their school has two warriors ranked second and third respectively. This proves that the Hogwarts warriors still have a high possibility of winning the final championship. !

The young wizards all looked at Harry and Cedric expectantly, waving the red and yellow flags representing Gryffindor and Hufflepuff in their hands. Those flags had the names of the two warriors written on them.

“Next is Mr. Victor Krum, with 91 points, and Durmstrang College is in third place!” Bagman continued.

There was another burst of applause – Krum’s fame still had a strong influence in the eyes of the little wizards.

“Finally, Miss Fleur Delacour, with 77 points, Beauxbatons College is temporarily ranked fourth!”

Furong made a major mistake in the second event and failed to save her sister, so the score was widened by other warriors.

At this point, except for some young wizards who were attracted by Fleur’s appearance, most of the audience clapped politely.

Harry stood not far from the entrance of the maze and looked towards the audience from a distance. He could make out Mrs. Weasley, Sirius, Bill, Ron and Hermione in the stands, politely speaking to Fleur. applaud.

He waved to them from a distance, and Sirius and the others smiled and waved to him.

“Now let me introduce the rules of the competition – the scores in the first two events will determine the order in which the warriors enter the maze. The warrior with the highest score will enter the maze first, and the warriors behind will be delayed by five minutes each… ”

“Now, Mr. Kowalski, listen to my whistle!” Bagman stood on the commentary box and said with a red face, “Three…two…one…”

“Dudu——”

With a short whistle, John quickly ran through the entrance into the maze.

The tall hedges cast dark shadows on the path. I don’t know whether it was because the hedges were high and dense, or because of the silent magic cast around the maze. As soon as John entered the maze, the sound of the audience disappeared.

John is actually not too nervous, because there are many dangerous magical animals in this maze, and this happens to be his strength——

After studying for a long time with Newt Scamander, the most outstanding magical zoologist of this century, who was also his grandmother’s brother-in-law and grandfather’s good friend, most magical animals were not only not obstacles to John, but could even be used as a source of evil. assistant.

Confidently, he turned a side road to see what kind of magical animals the big gamekeeper and ranger could find.

However, when he appeared behind the corner, what stood in front of him was not a magical animal or a magical mechanism, but a ferocious-looking bald old man.

“Are you… the caretaker of Hogwarts, Mr. Filch?” John frowned and asked, “You shouldn’t be here, it’s very dangerous…”

John’s words suddenly stopped.

He saw that the Squib Filch in front of him actually took out a wand from his pocket, played with it in his hand a few times very skillfully, and then pointed it at John.

John suddenly felt something bad and subconsciously rolled to one side…

A white beam of light flew past his shoulder, instantly turning the hedge behind John into a stone wall.

“The response is quite fast. He deserves to be the first in the semi-finals competition.” Filch sneered.

John broke into a cold sweat.

He had never thought that such a seemingly harmless squib could cast such a powerful spell.

“Who the hell are you?!” he demanded.

“You don’t need to know.” Filch said coldly, “How can that stupid boy get the Goblet of Fire if you leave such an uncontrollable person on the field…”

As he spoke, he cast a powerful spell again.

John quickly used an iron armor spell to block in front of him, but the iron armor spell couldn’t block Filch’s spell. The transparent barrier hit John’s chest hard, knocking him up and hitting another hedge behind him. .

Seeing that Filch was about to recite the spell again, John realized that he was no match for this “gatekeeper”, so he quickly raised his wand and pointed it to the sky.

“Ruddy Sparkle!”

A dazzling red light shot out from the tip of John’s wand and shot straight into the sky.

However, just before the sparks were about to break through the tall fence, another spell came first and intercepted it in an instant.

It’s “Filch”‘s universal cracking spell!

John’s heart froze.

Suddenly, he thought of what Professor McGonagall at Hogwarts had told them before the game started –

“If you encounter a very urgent danger and you don’t have time to cast red sparks, remember to shout loudly. Professor Dracula can usually hear your shouts.”

John’s eyes lit up, and he didn’t care whether the silencing spells around him would block his voice. With only ten thousandths of hope, he started shouting loudly to the sky.

“Professor Dracula, help me!”

However, “Filch” had no reaction to his actions. Instead, he walked forward calmly, with an evil smile on his face.

“Don’t worry, Professor Dracula you are relying on has also been lured away…” He smiled sinisterly, “No one can hear your cry for help now.”

Then, “Filch” raised his wand——

“Imperio.”

…

Five minutes ago, just when John entered the maze and started the game.

Dracula stood on the high point of the fence, looking into the depths of the maze with interest.

At this moment, his eyes moved slightly.

A delicate crystal ball with a soft shimmer was taken out of Dracula’s pocket.

This crystal ball has not been used for several years. It is an interconnected pair with the crystal ball that Wes came home to send to Romania three years ago.

In the center of Mo Lake’s crystal ball, there should have been a dim moon spinning quietly.

However, at this moment, the dark moon became extremely bright, shining brightly.

This meant that Serena had news she wanted to convey to him.

Dracula frowned, glanced at the shining crystal ball, and then looked deeper into the maze.

With Professor McGonagall and the others patrolling, there shouldn’t be any trouble in this game in a short period of time, right?

He thought this and then disappeared.

The next moment, Dracula appeared on a small island outside Hogwarts, and his cheap daughter Serena, who had hair that was half black and half white, was waiting for him on the island.

“What’s the matter? Is there something urgent that comes here all of a sudden?” Dracula asked with a frown, “If there’s no urgent problem, I’ll go back first. There’s something else going on over there.”

“No, this matter is very urgent!” Serena walked quickly to Dracula, with an extremely anxious look on her face, “It was from the Greek magic world, Minister Abotel said that Olympus Something happened to the mountain!”

“What?” Dracula frowned tightly, “Why at this time?”

“I don’t know.” Serena shook her head, “Only you can enter that secret realm. I and several high-level vampires can’t find a solution at all, so I can only come here and contact you.”

She looked at Dracula with some worry and asked, “Is there something wrong with Uncle Andros again? The power of the despicable Halbo suddenly increased, causing a strange movement in Mount Olympus.”

“But I have been very restrained recently and have not killed the dementors.” Dracula was a little confused, but he still shrugged, “Forget it, I still have to take a look, in case Andros What’s the big problem?”

Then, he looked at Serena: “I was supposed to be a security guard at the Four-wizard Tournament now. Since I have to leave Hogwarts and go to Mount Olympus to see the situation, this position needs to be replaced by someone. .”

“Let’s do this, Serena, help me go to the arena and watch, and I’ll try to come back as soon as possible.”

“Me?” Serena asked in disbelief.

“Yes, there is no time to find anyone else in a short time.” Dracula nodded, raised his hand and conjured two dark moons, “Go, this is the Quidditch pitch leading to Hogwarts.”

As he spoke, he pushed Serena into one of the dark moons without any explanation, and then stepped into another one, arriving at the top of Mount Olympus where something had happened.
