Hogwarts vampire professor - Chapter 302
c301 The calm before the second war
“Gellert Grindylow? Who is that?” Ron looked a little confused and asked blankly, “Is he famous?”
“It’s Gellert Grindelwald, Ron!” Hermione corrected, “Have you forgotten the introduction we saw on Dumbledore’s chocolate frog picture?”
“If I remember correctly, it says: ‘Dumbledore’s most well-known contributions include defeating the dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945, discovering the twelve uses of dragon’s blood, and cooperating with Nicolas Flamel Effective in alchemy.'”
“Hermione, how come you remember everything?” Ron scratched his head.
Hermione ignored him and turned serious.
“If Grindelwald escapes from Nurmengard, then the situation in the wizarding world will become even more complicated.” She said, “One mysterious person is enough for us. If we add the dark demon of the previous generation, head……”
“So, Grindelwald is as powerful as Voldemort?” Harry asked.
“Yes, I checked the information,” Hermione nodded. “Grindelwald’s name is listed on the list of the most dangerous dark wizards in ancient and modern times. If he is not on the top of the list, it is only because a mysterious person came from behind to take it. First……”
“But because Grindelwald never extended his terror to Britain, the details of his rise are not widely known to us here.”
“But… why did Grindelwald not escape from prison in the past few decades, but why did he escape at this time after Voldemort was resurrected?” Harry frowned and asked in confusion.
“I passed by Slytherin’s table in the morning and heard a few people discussing.” Colin Creevey said hesitantly, “They said that the last Dark Lord was released by a mysterious man, and they also said that two The Dark Lord will unite together to overthrow Dumbledore…”
“I know without guessing that among the people in these discussions are Draco Malfoy and his two followers.” Ron said with disgust, “A group of scum who will definitely become Death Eaters after graduation!”
“Actually… it seems that Draco Malfoy was not involved in the discussion this time.” Colin shook his head instead, “He seems to have been excluded from the circle of pure-blood students, and Crabbe and Goyle are not with him either. Together.”
“How could this happen?” Ron was stunned for a moment, “Hasn’t he always claimed to be the pure-blood leader of Hogwarts?”
“Because Lucius Malfoy betrayed Voldemort!” Rolf, who was sitting next to Luna’s bed, suddenly said, “Ron was knocked unconscious at the time, and he may not have known that he betrayed him at the last moment in the Department of Mysteries. It played a key role in the entire war situation.”
“Lucius Malfoy? Betrayed Voldemort?!” Ron jumped up from the bed and shouted, “Are you kidding me!”
“Rolf is right. In the end, it was Lucius Malfoy’s betrayal that tilted the advantage to our side.” Harry nodded and said, “To be precise, he turned to Professor Dracula.” .”
“I can’t believe it…” Ron’s eyes widened, still in disbelief.
But within a moment, he seemed to have thought of something, and he suddenly became happy, “So Draco Malfoy must be miserable now, right? He wasn’t beaten to death by the other descendants of Death Eaters?”
“It seems not. After all, Malfoy is the prefect of Slytherin and can complain directly to the professors.” Colin said, “As for Crabbe and Goyle, they have abandoned Malfoy and gathered together at Theodore North Special’s side.”
“Sure enough, the two of them can’t change their nature of being followers even if they change their masters.” Ron laughed loudly, “I really want to be discharged from the hospital early and laugh at them early, hahahaha…”
However, Ron’s joy soon turned to sadness.
Madam Pomfrey heard the commotion here and came over menacingly.
“Don’t make too much noise in the infirmary. Are you responsible for disturbing others’ rest?!” She yelled at Ron.
Then, Madam Pomfrey looked at Harry and the others who were not hospitalized, “And you guys, you can leave now, the patients need to rest!”
Facing the murderous Madam Pomfrey, Harry, Rolf and Colin had no time to continue discussing the issue of Grindelwald. They nodded cowardly and slipped out of the school infirmary together.
Ron was lying on the bed depressed, and Madam Pomfrey poured a large cup of extremely unpleasant potion without any sweetener, which made him no longer in the mood to laugh at Malfoy.
…
Standing at the door of the school infirmary, Harry said goodbye to Rolf and Colin and prepared to visit Hagrid in the shack next to the Forbidden Forest.
Walking up the stairs leading from the infirmary to the lobby on the first floor, Harry met few people along the way.
Even on a Sunday, the castle seemed too quiet.
It seemed that everyone had gone out and came to the sunny venue to enjoy the relaxation after the exam and the leisurely absence of course schedules and homework in the last few days of the final semester.
Harry walked slowly along the empty corridor and stared out the window; he could see some Quidditch players floating in groups above the Quidditch pitch, a few young wizards playing on the lawn, and Two students swam with a giant squid in the lake.
He found that he seemed to have formed an atmosphere of separation from the students in this castle:
The weight of Voldemort’s return weighed heavily on Harry, making him breathless and unable to play mindlessly like those little wizards.
Even though the notice has been issued in the Daily Prophet, most of the students have not realized that the danger is coming. They always feel that if the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up——
In short, Dumbledore and Professor Dracula will definitely deal with all dangers!
But Harry is different…
As a young wizard who has faced Voldemort several times, and as Voldemort’s old enemy in the prophecy, Harry is naturally on the opposite side of the dark wizard, and he also believes that Voldemort wants to kill him all the time.
In addition, there is now one more Grindelwald, and it is not known what kind of changes the rebirth of the previous generation of Dark Lord will bring to the magical world.
Just as Harry was thinking about it and just walked down the last marble step and entered the hallway, he unexpectedly ran into an old enemy from the past.
Draco Malfoy was walking out of the doorway leading to the Slytherin common room on the right. His face was gloomy, and there was no blood at all on his already pale face.
Slytherin’s green striped tie was hung loosely on Draco’s collar, and the collar of his white shirt was also messy, with a few dusty fingerprints still on it, as if he had just had a fight with someone.
Harry stopped abruptly, as did Draco.
At this moment, the air between the two seemed to be frozen, and the only sounds that could be heard coming from the open front door were the shouts, laughter and splashing of water from the field, which was completely out of place.
Draco glanced around – Harry knew he was looking for the professor – and then his eyes returned to Harry, and he whispered: “You should be very proud, Potter.”
Harry raised his eyebrows.
“It’s funny,” Draco said coldly, “From a nonsense liar to a hero that everyone admires, all he needs is a newspaper…”
Harry had never seen Draco so angry.
He looked angrier than ever, and at the same time, there was a concealed confusion lurking in his pale, angry face.
“You must be very proud.” Draco said, his voice no louder than a whisper, “You have firmly established yourself as the savior, but I can only be a pure-blood traitor, looked down upon by my classmates and others!”
“But it was your father’s choice to betray Voldemort, and I didn’t force him to do it.” Harry spread his hands, “Sooner or later you will be happy, because Voldemort will be eliminated by Dumbledore soon… you What’s wrong?”
He saw Draco’s eyes involuntarily become frightened when he heard the name, so he added: “You should learn to adapt, Malfoy, your family is no longer in the same group as Voldemort, there is no need to Be in awe of him.”
“Do you think you are some great big shot, dare to preach to me like this, Potter?” Draco’s face was a little ugly, and he approached Harry, “Just wait, after the war is over, we can still rely on our family Your relationships and property will be restored to a place beyond your reach!”
“Do you think after what happened with Voldemort, pure-blood families will still be as popular as before?” Harry asked.
“You don’t understand. The advantages of pure blood are beyond your imagination.” Draco said softly, “My father, it won’t take long for the family business to flourish again…”
“But you are just a family taking shelter from Professor Dracula now.” Harry said sarcastically, “But at least now he has indeed saved his life——”
The corners of Draco’s eyes twitched violently.
The next moment, his hand quickly reached for his wand, but Harry was faster, and before Draco could put his fingers into the pocket of his robes, he had already taken out his wand.
“Potter!”
At this moment, a greasy voice came from the other end of the hallway, interrupting the impending duel between Harry and Draco.
Snape appeared on the stairs leading to his office. Seeing him, Harry’s emotions became extremely complicated again. The feeling was far beyond what he felt about Draco…
No matter how much Dumbledore trusts him now, Snape told Voldemort about half of the prophecy at that time… Harry’s parents lost their lives because of this incident.
Even though Snape tried to save Harry from danger several times later, the disgust for Harry in his eyes could not be faked! Harry doesn’t even have a good impression of Snape at all!
“What are you doing, Potter?” Snape didn’t know what Harry was thinking, but he just said as he strode towards the two of them, his tone as cold as before.
“I was thinking about what spell to use on Malfoy, sir.” Harry said angrily, unable to control his emotions.
Snape glared at Harry.
“Put your wand away now,” he shouted flatly. “Ten points from Gryffindor——”
Snape looked at the four huge hourglasses on the wall and smiled contemptuously.
“Ah, I see that there are no points left in the Gryffindor hourglass. In this case, Potter, we have to—”
“A few more points?”
Professor McGonagall was walking on the stone steps into the castle, interrupting Snape’s words and looking quite good.
“Professor McGonagall!” Snape said and stepped forward, “Potter is trying to attack his classmates with magic, but you are planning to give him extra points…do I understand you correctly?”
“Yes, Professor Snape,” Professor McGonagall said as she adjusted the pointed hat on her head, “I think Potter and his friends should get fifty points each. Because they were the ones who reminded me. Everyone, the mysterious man is back!”
“What do you think, Professor Snape?” Professor McGonagall looked at Snape with a smile.
“What?” Snape asked in surprise, “Oh… maybe – I think…”
“Then, Potter, the Weasley brothers, Longbottom and Miss Granger each get fifty points.” Professor McGonagall waved her wand without consulting Snape.
A large pile of rubies fell into the orb beneath Gryffindor’s hourglass. “Oh—and fifty points from Miss Lovegood and Mr. Scamander, I suppose.”
She added that some sapphires and topaz had fallen into the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff hourglasses respectively, “Now you’re going to deduct ten points from Potter, I guess, Professor Snape – okay ,that’s all……”
A few rubies flew back into the ball above, but even so, the remaining number was still considerable.
“Okay, Potter, Malfoy, I think in such a nice weather, you should go outside for a walk.” Professor McGonagall continued to say enthusiastically, “It’s rare to drive Umbridge out, the people in the castle The air seems to have become fresher.”
She has been dissatisfied with the Ministry of Magic for forcing Umbridge into Hogwarts for a long time. Now that Dumbledore has won the game with the Ministry of Magic and kicked Umbridge out of the castle, Professor McGonagall feels very happy. .
“Professor, you don’t seem to be very worried about Grindelwald?” Harry was a little surprised by Professor McGonagall’s relaxed and cheerful tone.
He originally thought that a professor with a rigorous and serious character like Professor McGonagall might have to frown and think about countermeasures for a long time after hearing the news of the birth of another Dark Lord!
“So you also know about Grindelwald?” Professor McGonagall glanced at Harry in surprise and said to him, “Indeed, Grindelwald is indeed a very dangerous person, there is no doubt about it.”
“But for us, especially for Dumbledore, it’s not entirely a bad thing.”
“Just wait and see, Grindelwald can’t be on the same camp as the mysterious man!”
