【Extra】Chapter 4 Lifting the Blood Curse
Dracula was sitting on the sofa bored, counting the petals of the flower on the window sill.
Although this realm of death has been transformed into the appearance of Hogwarts Castle, the boring and lonely atmosphere in it is very real. Dracula feels that if he continues to stay here, he may not be mentally normal. .
At this moment, he suddenly noticed some movement in a bronze mirror in his pocket.
"Nico, are you looking for me?" He picked up the bronze mirror and saw the old face on the opposite side, "I'm not in this world right now and I'm bored."
"Hey, can my Phoenix relief book really connect to another realm?" Flamel said in surprise, "I thought you were in this world, so I used this book to contact you."
"What are you thinking? Of course your methods can't reach me across the world." Dracula curled his lips, "I didn't close the door of the Death Hall, I'm ready to go back and have fun at any time!"
"Well, that's a pity." Flamel smacked his lips regretfully.
"So you still have a lot of alchemical achievements that you haven't accomplished. Don't always think about why you have accomplished so much." Dracula said with a smile, "I will keep the magic stone for you!"
"Okay, okay, have you been talking about the matter that I lent the Philosopher's Stone to Albus for so long six years ago?" Flamel said with a smile, "Don't worry, Perenal and I are ready to spend our whole lives. Dedicated to alchemy.”
"That's pretty much it." Dracula nodded, "By the way, what do you want to see me for this time? You don't seem to be in Paris right now?"
"Well, isn't this the end of the war? I don't have to stay in the safe house all the time." Flamel said, "Newt held a banquet to bring together our old friends from decades ago."
"What, are you planning to invite me to the party?" Dracula asked.
"certainly……"
Before Flamel could finish speaking, his wife couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted her husband's attempt to deceive others.
"Brad, don't listen to Nico's nonsense, our banquet is almost over." Perenal walked behind Flamel and said to Dracula through the Phoenix relief book, "We invited you here because we want you to Do me a favor."
"It's a good thing you're here, Perenal, otherwise I would have been deceived by this old guy Nico." Dracula glared at Flamel and drew a circle around him.
At the same time, a dark moon suddenly appeared in Newt's house.
Dracula's long legs stepped out from the dark moon, and walked up to Flamel in an instant, grabbing the phoenix relief book in his hand.
"It's time to upgrade. This crappy book of yours can't even cross the world." He nodded with his index finger on the cover of the book and chuckled softly.
"I know, I will improve in the future." Flamel smiled and shook his head.
At this time, a young voice came from the other side of the banquet table:
"Wow, Professor Dracula, I haven't seen you in a long time!"
Dracula turned around and saw Rolf Scamander waving to him.
"It's been a while, indeed, Mr. Scamander." Dracula nodded and smiled at him, "How is life at Hogwarts?"
"Great!" Luofu waved his fist excitedly, "And my grades and knowledge of magical animals have also improved a lot. My grandma and Professor Hicks have no reason to call me back to Yinfamouni. "
After saying this, he realized that he had made a mistake.
Popentina Scamander and Professor Eulalie Hicks both stared at him with straight faces, and the air around them seemed to freeze.
"Ah, haha...Grandma, Professor Hicks, you eat first, I'll go chat with Professor Dracula for a while..."
Before he finished speaking, Luofu hurriedly escaped from the solemn banquet table and grabbed Dracula's sleeve to the other side of the room.
"Professor Dracula, the students miss you very much." Rolf whispered, "How about you return to Hogwarts and drive Professor Snape away from the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts?"
"Professor Snape teaches well, why should I drive him away?" Dracula said with a half-smile, "He is now the vice principal. Is it possible that if he is not a professor, your points will not be deducted? "
Luofu's expression froze.
"It seems...that's really the case." He murmured.
"Stop holding on to such unrealistic illusions. Albus cannot let your Professor Snape leave his post." Dracula shrugged.
Immediately, a malicious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Anyway, you are about to graduate, and the next ones he will torture are your juniors... Don't you want your juniors to experience the feeling of being dominated by Snape? ?”
Luo Fu was stunned and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, but he quickly suppressed it.
"Professor, I am an upright Hufflepuff, and I would not do such a gloating thing!" he said righteously.
"Ha, it's really yours." Dracula shook his head and sneered, "Don't think I don't know. The Sorting Hat had no intention of sorting you into Hufflepuff when you first came here."
"Let's not talk about this for now. Let me introduce you. How is Hogwarts now?"
"Oh, okay." Rolf said quickly, "Professor Slughorn is now the Potions Professor and Head of Slytherin, and Professor McGonagall has not given up the Transfiguration class even after becoming the Headmaster. Regarding teaching, except for these two professors and Professor Snape, the positions of other professors have not changed much."
"As for the students... Harry Potter and Hermione Granger became the male and female student union presidents respectively. It is quite rare in the entire history of Hogwarts for students from the same house to occupy two positions of student union presidents. of."
"Of course Professor Snape disagreed and wanted to recommend Draco Malfoy as the President of the Boys' Student Union, but Malfoy declined the position for some unknown reason..."
"In addition, Professor Slughorn supported Harry, so this matter was facilitated... After all, based on the performance of the two of them in the war, none of the students were dissatisfied."
"By the way, Quidditch has officially resumed! Both Ron and Ginny joined the Gryffindor Quidditch team and became excellent keepers and chasers; Luna became a Quidditch player The narrator... her commentary is always weird."
"Oh, also, Ron and Hermione are together, and Harry and Ginny are probably about the same; I also heard that Malfoy can no longer stand Pansy Parkinson, who still talks about pure bloodism, and recently had a relationship with a guy named Astoria Greengrass's sixth-grade girls are close..."
"..."
Dracula listened quietly to Rove's introduction to the current situation of Hogwarts, and a gentle smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.
"Very good, it seems your life is much more colorful than during the war." He chuckled.
"After all, the big mountain that was weighing on my head has been removed, and I feel a lot more relaxed mentally." Luofu nodded and said, "Although the war is over, the Duel Club has not stopped, and everyone is used to going out for activities every night. "
"Now, several professors in charge of teaching take turns leading us in the duel. With the comparison of your previous devil training, we feel that Professor Snape's special training is not that difficult."
"Tsk, it seems like you guys are a little arrogant." Dracula raised his lips, "In that case, I'll go back and say hello to Filius and the others, and let them try harder!"
"Ah?" Rolf opened his eyes wide, "No, Professor Dracula, I will become a sinner among the students of Hogwarts!"
Of course, Dracula would not do what Rolf wanted. He smiled happily, turned around and walked to Newt.
Several witches, including Tina, Eulalie, and Bunty, had already used housekeeping magic to clear the banquet table, and Newt placed the old-fashioned suitcase he had used for many years on the table.
"Why did you bring your zoo up all of a sudden?" Dracula crossed his arms and asked in surprise, "Does this have anything to do with the help Nico asked me to do?"
"That's right, Professor Dracula..." Newt said, "Do you still remember the two big snakes you saw in the Albanian forest four years ago?"
"One of the vipers is Nagini. She was originally a human, but due to the blood curse, she irreversibly turned into a viper."
"Oh, I remembered, Salazar's pet snake is still in your box!" Dracula slapped his forehead and said belatedly, "I understand, leave Nagini to me. It is actually not difficult for me to resolve the blood curse now...but the basilisk will probably have one fewer friend."
After that, he took one step forward and jumped directly into Newt's open box.
Newt was stunned for a moment, shook his head with a smile, and pulled Tina into the box with ease, followed by the others.
…
In a deep cave in the box, the basilisk was leisurely taking a cold bath.
Suddenly, a silver-haired figure appeared in front of it, looking at it with a smile but not a smile.
The basilisk's huge body shook violently and subconsciously closed its big yellow eyes.
"Open your eyes and let me see how you are doing here," Dracula said.
The basilisk shook its head desperately, as if determined not to open its eyes.
"Didn't you understand what I said? I said open your mouth." Dracula's tone was unmistakable.
The basilisk had no choice but to open its eyes aggrievedly, allowing Dracula's Legilimency to penetrate deep into its brain and check its memories of staying in the box over the past few years.
"Well, it seems like you're living quite well in Newt's box!" Dracula chuckled, "Two runes, a horned water snake, and Nagini have all become yours. My friend, I didn’t realize that you are still a social butterfly.”
Basilisk: "After all, a snake has been locked up in a secret room for a thousand years. Of course it has to make a few friends when it finally comes out."
"Very good, then I'm relieved. It's worthy of Salazar's trust." Dracula nodded, "Then you can play here by yourself, and I'll pry away one of your friends."
Basilisk: "?"
…
The next moment, Dracula appeared next to Nagini.
When Nagini saw a stranger, the indifferent snake boy immediately showed a vigilant look. However, when Dracula had a hint of death quietly emanating from him, her eyes immediately became submissive again.
"Blood curse... Tsk, the wizard who invented this curse is really a genius." His eyes were filled with red light as he observed the magical veins in Nagini's snake body and marveled.
Newt, Tina and others also came here at some unknown time, watching Dracula's movements quietly.
"Is there a way to fix it, Brad?" Flamel asked softly.
"There is no problem." Dracula nodded and said, "In fact, there was a chance to solve it before, but I was not sure... There are too many powers that can be used now, of course it can be solved."
As he spoke, he raised his hand towards Nagini.
A dazzling red light flashed, and all of Nagini's blood vessels and magic power appeared on the surface of the scales.
An emotion called confusion gradually emerged in her originally devoid of human emotions, and this confusion gradually became humane, no longer as ignorant as a beast.
The red light slowly dissipated.
Dracula saw that the huge viper in front of him had completely disappeared, replaced by a beautiful Asian woman——
Wearing a dark blue silk dress, with long black hair tied behind her head, she curled up weakly among the flowers in front of everyone.
