Chapter 18 Making money
Ever since he discovered that time passes quickly when he teaches seriously, Dracula has completely changed his attitude towards teaching, no longer as perfunctory as before.
Professor Count Vampire, who teaches with great care, naturally has excellent teaching ability and unparalleled in-depth experience. Soon, he was recognized by almost all students at Hogwarts.
The students are very happy. After many years, Hogwarts finally has a reliable Defense Against the Dark Arts professor!
Next, the gossiping students began to discuss Professor Dracula's appearance, and later his strength.
The first grade wizard said that Professor Dracula could easily throw five adult wizards like Quirrell out of the door; the third grader said that Professor Dracula was immune to spell damage; the fifth grader said that Professor Dracula could instantly Release dozens of magic spells...
At first, they analyzed and speculated on the new professor's strength based on existing evidence and performance in the classroom. Later, these speculations became more and more outrageous among the gossiping students:
Some people swore that Professor Dracula could defeat Voldemort as early as during the war; some people said that they saw Professor Dracula subdue a ferocious big dog with one hand; some even speculated that Professor Dracula could defeat Voldemort alone. He is a devil who has been sleeping for thousands of years. When the time comes, he will stir up trouble...
The professor's fans quarreled with the person who made the guess, which they thought was too outrageous. The professor is so handsome, he is definitely not that kind of evil devil!
…
At noon, Fred and George were walking back and forth on the Gryffindor table.
"Let me tell you quietly, Professor Dracula taught us our first class after the start of school." They mysteriously introduced the scene in the first class to students from other grades.
"Wood, let me tell you, Professor Dracula withstood all of our attacks without blinking an eye, and he didn't even stagger!" George hugged a strong Gryffindor student. shoulder and said to him.
"This is so old news for you. Can you tell me something new?" Wood looked at the two of them disdainfully and pointed to the Slytherin table.
At this time, there was a little Slytherin wizard over there who was vividly describing to his companions the scene of Professor Dracula flying into the sky. The scene was so realistic that it almost seemed like it had really happened.
"Look what you said!" Fred was not happy and jumped up from the bench. "We will immediately show you the first-hand information we just got. Just be prepared to be shocked!"
"We just brought two bottles of wine to talk to Professor Kettleburn." George said proudly, "We learned more exciting news from him. Do you want to hear it?"
The Gryffindor little lions nearby all came over and looked at the twins excitedly, trying to get a share of this even more exciting news.
"According to the information obtained from Professor Kettleburn, Professor Dracula once had a brief encounter with Snape!" Fred successfully whetted everyone's appetite, "According to what he said, The two professors had a little fight at the entrance of the auditorium."
"The market is open. Let's bet on who is more powerful, Professor Dracula or Snape. The odds are 1 to 2!"
Before Fred could finish speaking, George took out a spliced gambling table from somewhere, with a line in the middle dividing it into the left and right sides.
"I knew it, Weasley, it was just another trick of you two to get money!" Wood rolled his eyes, but in order to hear the latest news, he still put a silver Siko in his hand on the gambling table.
The twins looked at the betting board and found that most people in Gryffindor had outperformed Professor Dracula. They looked at each other, quite dissatisfied.
So they set their sights on Slytherin, "What do you think, why don't the rich young men of Slytherin come and put pressure on your dean? Or are you afraid of Professor Dracula?"
Hearing Fred and George's provocative words, someone at the Slytherin table could not sit still.
A first-grade boy with an arrogant expression walked out first. He had neat platinum hair, a pointed chin, silver-grey eyes, and was tall and thin. Behind him were two fat followers.
"Why are Professor Dracula's odds so much lower than Professor Snape?" He raised his head and asked with an unconvinced look on his face.
"Because Professor Dracula's approval rating is obviously much higher than Snape's." Fred said with a playful smile.
"Two ignorant Weasleys, I want to show you what the financial power of the Malfoy family is!" As he said that, he took out several gold coins from his pocket and threw them into the pile of copper and silver money. inside.
Seeing that the eldest young master of the Malfoy family had placed their bets, the other purebloods were not to be outdone, and each held gold Galleons and pressed on their dean.
In the blink of an eye, under the money offensive of Slytherin's pure-blood wizards, the odds ratio between Dracula and Snape became 1:1, almost even.
When everyone had almost spent their money, the twins got together mysteriously.
Fred secretly made a mouth shape for George - "It's so easy to make money".
George smiled knowingly and collected the coins of various colors.
"Everyone, listen up. The final result is - Professor Dracula wins. His record is that he forced Snape back with one look!"
There was a loud cheer in the Gryffindor area, and there was silence in the Slytherin area.
"No, you have no evidence!" Draco Malfoy said unconvinced, "Why should I believe your nonsense? There is no way you can guarantee that this news is correct!"
The twins looked at each other and as expected, suddenly took out a big ear from their pocket.
They pressed a button on their ear, and Professor Kettleburn's voice came out of that ear.
"Oh, you're talking about Dracula. He drove Snape away with just one look!" Professor Kettleburn's tone was very heroic. "I didn't expect that with Defense Against the Dark Arts, With his now notorious reputation, Dumbledore was able to recruit such a reliable Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."
…
Draco Malfoy walked away angrily, leaving only the many shining gold galleons shining in the wooden barrel under the gambling board.
This amount of money may not be much to the Malfoy family, but to Fred and George, it is more than the family's income in a few months.
The two of them admired the galleons with fascination.
At this moment, an angry voice rang in the twins' ears, almost spreading throughout the entire auditorium:
"Weasley, how dare you set up a bet again?!"
