Hogwarts vampire professor - Chapter 313

c312 It’s time to end too

The Statue of Slytherin tells Dracula a lot about Horcruxes and the Grim Reaper, which were the results of his lifelong research as the founder of the great Slytherin Academy.

Dracula remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

“If you hadn’t come to see me all this time, I should have told you these things a long time ago.” Slytherin said with some complaint, “This is the reason for the existence of this statue of mine. You really made me feel good for a while. wait!”

“So, you’ve been waiting to tell me these things all these years?” Dracula glanced at the statue of Slytherin and said thoughtfully, “Could it be that…”

An astonishing idea came to his mind——

“Could it be that you want me to fulfill your wish to replace the God of Death?” Dracula suddenly shrank.

“Ah, you are indeed my good friend, you really understand what I mean!” Slytherin stroked his strong beard and said with satisfaction, “Of course, this still depends on your own thoughts.”

“Don’t I understand you? Unless something completely arouses your interest, no one can convince you.”

Dracula raised his eyebrows in surprise and stared into Slytherin’s eyes.

Slytherin also stared at Dracula with gray stone eyes full of meaning.

“You are indeed a bit interested…can you tell me more about it?” After a moment, Dracula suddenly laughed happily, “It has been hard to find any fun in the magical world these years. Maybe you can become a so-called god of death. It’ll be a little more fun.”

Slytherin’s two stone palms clapped together, making a crisp sound.

“Okay! I knew you would be interested!” He said happily, “The conditions for replacing the God of Death are actually very demanding. The first point is to collect three Deathly Hallows first!”

Dracula was stunned for a moment, and an intriguing smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

“What’s the matter, do you find it difficult?” Slytherin saw Dracula’s expression and comforted him, “Don’t worry, although for wizards like me, it is difficult to understand three mysterious things in just a few hundred years. I have a complete collection of Deathly Hallows, but you are different…”

“Brad, you have countless time. As long as you pay more attention, sooner or later you will be able to collect all the Deathly Hallows! So there is no need for you to worry about this.”

“I’m not worried.” Dracula shook his head with a half-smile, “I just… suddenly felt like laughing.”

“Want to laugh? You are such a strange guy.” Slytherin gave Dracula a strange look and continued, “You must have the protection of the three Deathly Hallows in order to be able to function in the world where Death lives. Our original strength——”

“The place where the God of Death is located has a great suppressive power on people in this world. The energy there will restrict the flow of magic power, affect the clarity of the mind, and will continue to corrode our bodies.”

“The Deathly Hallows can resist this: the Elder Wand can restore the flow of magic power, the Resurrection Stone can protect the holder’s sanity, and the Invisibility Cloak can resist continued erosion from the outside world… These functions may not be visible in the modern world, But it will become extremely obvious in the realm of Death.”

“According to rumors, this was a product specially created to fight against Death after the three Peverell brothers had a conflict with Death… But before the three of them had time to gather the three Deathly Hallows into one person’s hand, they were killed by Death. divided and broken.”

“In the end, only Ingenotus Peverell, who possessed the Invisibility Cloak, escaped the pursuit of death, but was no longer able to fight back. In the end, he could only place his hope on future generations…”

Dracula fell into deep thought after hearing Slytherin’s story.

According to Slytherin, replacing the God of Death has almost become an imperative.

First of all, Dracula was indeed very interested in this character spread in the legends of the magical world, and when he went from the Death Hall of the Department of Mysteries to the world of Death, he did form a quarrel with Death to seek revenge. Quite reasonable;

Secondly, many of Dracula’s friends, descendants and other people who are relatively close to him need someone to guide their souls——

Dumbledore wants to go to the Lost Realm to guide Harry back at the cost of his own life; Helena Ravenclaw, as the soul of a ghost, needs the power of death to guide her to salvation; even Andros is attached to the Patronus The soul inside can also be said to have nowhere to rest and have no home…

If Dracula could replace Death, then these problems would be solved.

“By the way, there’s one more thing.” Slytherin suddenly added, “I think there’s something you might be able to use.”

He pointed to the corner of the wall, where there was a scepter that Dracula had just kicked aside.

“Did you see that walking stick? In fact, it is Haierbo’s Horcrux… Haierbo thought he had disguised it well and put it in his warehouse like an ordinary collection. But I couldn’t recognize it at a glance. generally.”

Looking at Dracula whose eyes slowly widened, Slytherin said proudly:

“After all, I have accepted Haierbo’s inheritance. I am embarrassed to destroy the Horcrux that he relies on for survival…”

“It’s no problem if I give it to you. I entrust you to help protect it. Even if you do something to it, it’s just because I don’t know it. It has nothing to do with me!”

…

There is a small village in a valley in western England.

There is a small square in the center of the village. In the center of the square is a war monument carved from stone.

There are several shops, a post office, a bar, and a chapel whose stained glass windows shine like jewels across the square.

There was a drizzle of rain falling in the sky. Dracula was walking in the rain without an umbrella, but every drop of rainwater that approached him would automatically spread out and fall on the stone paved ground.

Dracula passed by a few muggles coming and going and came to the monument in the center of the square.

The monument suddenly changed. It was no longer an obelisk with names engraved on it, but turned into statues of three people——

A man with disheveled hair and glasses; a woman with long hair and a beautiful and gentle appearance; and a baby boy sitting in his mother’s arms.

The raindrops gently hit the tops of the three of them’s heads, and magically slid down their shoulders without leaving a drop of rain on their bodies.

Dracula looked at the statues of the family of three with great interest, and it was easy to recognize who was engraved here: the man with shaggy hair looked so much like Harry, except that the one on his forehead There is no famous lightning-shaped scar.

The statues of these three people were voluntarily cast by local wizards to commemorate Voldemort’s first defeat.

This is Godric’s Hollow, the most famous of the half-wizard settlements.

This village in southwestern England is the birthplace of Godric Gryffindor, founder of Gryffindor House, and where wizard goldsmith Bowman Wright created the first Golden Snitch.

During the hundred years that Dracula was sleeping, this place was still the mainstay of today’s wizarding world. It was also the place where the great wizard Albus Dumbledore once lived. It was also the place where Dumbledore and Grindelwald first met. Likewise, This is the place where Voldemort was first defeated…

Dracula walked around the statue and walked towards the cemetery behind the church opposite.

There is a narrow door at the entrance to the cemetery, and rows of wet tombstones stand on the moist soil.

There was a tombstone that seemed to have been cleaned recently. There were no weeds around it, and it was not covered with moss like other tombstones. Instead, it was very clean and tidy. There is also a bouquet of white flowers blooming in the rain placed in front of the monument.

Dracula’s eyes narrowed slightly and he looked at the dark stone tablet——

“Candra Dumbledore and daughter Ariana.”

There is also a motto engraved below: Where the treasure is, there is the heart.

“Is this why you want to find the Resurrection Stone?” Dracula looked at the tombstone thoughtfully.

When Dumbledore saw the Resurrection Stone from Voldemort’s hand for the first time, he was extremely uneasy; when Dracula gave him the Resurrection Stone after Riddle had absorbed it, he was in a state of confusion for a long time. Research this Deathly Hallows.

Dracula thought of the scene he saw in the Mirror of Erised five years ago.

A young girl seems to be Dumbledore’s sister. She should be the child named Ariana Dumbledore on the tombstone… She is the regret of Dumbledore’s life. Dumbledore pursued the Resurrection Stone for Ariana.

Dracula sighed softly.

Then, he no longer lingered, took a step forward, and instantly appeared in a small garden full of shrubs and flowers, and knocked on the door of the small villa in the center of the garden.

“Here, wait a moment…” The voice of an old lady came from inside the house.

Not long after, the door creaked open.

An old lady wearing an old black shawl poked her head out from behind the door. She was short in stature, with sparse and pale hair, and the wrinkles on her face were almost in one piece.

The old lady raised her head and looked at Dracula who was smiling languidly outside the door with her turbid eyes. Her expression was a little dazed at first, and then the turbidity in her sight seemed to dissipate instantly, and she stared at Dracula with wide eyes.

“You…you are?”

“Long time no see, Bathilda.” Dracula chuckled.

“Is it really you, Mr. Dracula?” Bathilda Basset asked in surprise, “I can’t believe that you are exactly the same as you were more than a hundred years ago…”

Bathilda Basset was also a member of Nico Flamel’s Phoenix Relief book more than a hundred years ago, and had an internship at the Alchemy Association for a period of time.

At that time, Nico Flamel was only over 400 years old and had not yet completely retired. From time to time, he would visit the Alchemy Association and give advice to young people; Dracula would often go with him to see if there was anything new. .

It was at that time that Dracula met the young Bathilda Bagshot.

“Well, Bathilda, Nico told me that Albus has been staying with you recently, right?” Dracula asked, “If he hadn’t mentioned that Grindelwald was also staying with you, I wouldn’t have thought that Grindelwald Wo is actually your great-nephew.”

“Ah, you’re talking about Gellert. His relationship with Albus seems to have gotten better recently.” Bathilda Basset said with a smile, “Back then, they were both young and energetic young men. Now, They are all old men with white hair… Only Mr. Dracula is still the same as before.”

“Okay, let’s not talk about old times with you now.” Dracula interrupted her memories with a smile and said, “I have something to do with Albus.”

“Oh! I almost forgot that it’s still raining outside.” Bashat opened the door, “Please come in!”

Dracula followed her into the living room, his eye drawn to a bowed chest of drawers behind many candles.

There were many pictures on the chest of drawers. When the flame of the candle danced, the reflection flickered in the glass and silver frames of the pictures.

In a photo at the back, there are two energetic teenagers, one with blond hair and one with red hair. They stand together and smile lazily at Dracula in the silver frame.

Dracula picked up the picture.

“Good evening, Professor Dracula.”

In the living room, the white-haired Dumbledore came over and said hello to Dracula.

Dumbledore seemed a little surprised when he saw the photo in Dracula’s hand.

“Oh, this seems to be a photo from a long time ago.” He said, “Professor Dracula seems to be very interested in it?”

“This blond-haired one should be Grindelwald, right?” Dracula asked with interest, “I saw him in the Mirror of Erised in front of you five years ago… Tsk, the relationship between the two of you is very nice.”

“Ahem…” Dumbledore almost choked on his own saliva and coughed twice, “Professor Dracula, peeking into other people’s privacy is not a good habit…and that was all a long time ago. .”

Suddenly, another white-haired figure walked out of the house.

“Dracula, what did you just say?” Grindelwald asked, with a strange light flashing in his eyes, “You mean, inside Albus’s Mirror of Erised…”

“Gellert, this matter is not important!” Dumbledore interrupted him abruptly and changed the subject, “Instead of being curious about these trivial matters, I suggest you go back to the house and continue to study the Deathly Hallows.”

Grindelwald looked at him with a playful expression on his face.

“Is that so? I understand.” He smiled happily and said to Dumbledore, “Hey, when will you get rid of your tough-tongued problem, Albus?”

Dumbledore was expressionless, paying no attention to Grindelwald’s thoughts, but looked directly at Dracula.

“Professor Dracula, why did you come to see me this time?” he asked.

“To be precise, I came here not only to find you, but also to find him.”

Dracula glanced at Grindelwald, “There is a way to solve Potter’s problem, and also to deal with the threat of Voldemort… But I need some help from you two…”

“In addition, I will need to borrow the three Deathly Hallows for a while.”

“It’s time to put an end to all these troubles.”
