Ancient Warlocks at Hogwarts

"So, did you finally see those vampires?" Hermione couldn't suppress her curiosity about vampires, a legendary creature that was uncommon even in the wizarding world, and she asked Harry.

But Harry nodded: "Yes, they look no different from us. It's just that their teeth, um, are a little special. It is said that they are specially used to suck blood."

There is actually no need to elaborate on this point. Although the other three people on the carriage have never actually seen vampires, there are still many books describing their appearance in the wizarding world. For example, they were supposed to be responsible for their dark magic last year. Mr. Gilderoy, who teaches the defense class, wrote a novel "Traveling with Vampires" based on other people's experiences. Of course, according to his own description, these are all his own experiences. , this has not been revealed so far because he did not come to Hogwarts last year.

Andre was more curious about whether the vampires living in Italy had really contacted Voldemort. If that was the case, he had to worry about whether the Dark Lord had begun to gradually regain his strength. After all, if there was no certain With the power of self-preservation, he should not be so anxious to start contacting these races living on the dark side of the wizarding world.

"Did you get any information about the mysterious man from the vampire?" Andre asked.

However, regarding this question, Harry shook his head and explained: "Actually, Sirius told me that the vampires we saw in Italy are all the younger generation. Of course, their definition of youth is different from ours, but After all, those vampires themselves have little say in their race. We spent a lot of effort to find them, but we didn't get any information about Voldemort. The only thing we know is that in mid-July, someone did go there. The vampire elder’s castle.”

Andre understood that it seemed that Sirius must have used some means to find several young vampires in Italy, but it was obvious that these young vampires were far from being able to contact the Dark Lord, so their trip to Italy There is no real gain from the journey.

However, it is confirmed that someone communicated with the elders of the vampire clan in July, and coupled with the information Sirius and the others received before, it is basically certain that Voldemort is indeed planning to do something secretly again, that is I don’t know if he is preparing to officially return this time, or if he is planning to deal with Dumbledore first.

Logically speaking, in the original plot, he should still be preparing to resurrect himself at this moment, but because Ivan had already pulled him out of the Albany forest, this step was omitted.

But the information obtained from Larry Farley last year showed that the Dark Lord's strength had not been answered at all. Ivan had promised him that if he could bring Andre out of the Hogwarts castle, Then the Free Magic Guild will help him regain his strength.

But this mission has undoubtedly failed, and even Ivan himself has died tragically in the hands of Andre. It is obvious that Voldemort wants to restore his power through the Free Magical Union. It is no longer possible for him. You can only rely on yourself to find a way to solve this problem.

Andre had no research on this aspect, and he didn't know how much magical black magic Voldemort had mastered. The only thing he could think of was that the original Dark Lord passed through Harry's blood, and expected the bones of Old Riddle and the flesh of Pettigrew. , regaining a body from a broken soul.

Since this weird ritual magic can help him resurrect, it must also be able to restore his strength. After all, according to the original development, after completing this plan next year, his strength will indeed return to its peak state.

It's just that this time, I wonder if he will still be entangled with Harry. You must know that now he has a body that can move freely, and is no longer the remnant soul of the past. Although the spirit has been damaged due to the division of many Horcruxes, There are some problems with the state, but it should not be as completely irrational as before.

If Voldemort decides not to use Harry's blood, then his enemies are all over Britain anyway. As long as he takes back his father's bones, finds an enemy at random, and adds the flesh of a Death Eater, he can easily regain his strength.

But Andre has no way to stop this, not even Dumbledore. This may be the disadvantage after the plot has been changed.

It's just that Andre has nothing to regret. Provoking the Free Magic Union was completely passive. Since he accepted this body, there was no way to avoid it. Even if he didn't go to France to accept the so-called Ivan would never let him go without his inheritance, and without the trip to France and losing the protection of the Holy Acorn, he might have died long ago.

Sighing softly, Andre had already relaxed a lot after dealing with Ivan's opponent, but after hearing the news that Harry told him, he had to start worrying about the threat of the Dark Lord again. Although Voldemort's strength He may not be stronger than Ivan, but he is a complete madman. Even if Ivan is a strong man in the field of rules, he would not dare to mess around in the UK, but the Dark Lord is different, and his foundation in the UK is obviously It is deeper than the Free Magic Union, and the 28 Holy Families here are more or less connected to him.

Seeing as how he had just been resurrected last year and had not yet regained his strength, he had easily recruited a fanatical Death Eater reserve from the school. If he had mastered the power again, who knows how many students in Slytherin College would work for him.

But there is no use in thinking about it now. We can only take one step at a time. At least we need more clues to guess what Voldemort will do next. After all, they are actually in the light now, and the Dark Lord is in the dark.

The only thing Andre hopes is that the other party can maintain their original intention and always focus on Harry. This way, it will be much easier for them to deal with it.

Of course, Harry didn't know that his good friend would have such an idea. He also told about his experiences in Italy. Soon, Ron joined in and once again publicized the Weasley family's trip to Egypt. , he even still has the newspaper that published his father’s award-winning photo.

Andre didn't have much to say. Although he also went to the United States, except for the redwood forest where he stayed at the beginning, other places were just passing by. You must know that he had just arrived in Arizona and was about to capture thunderbirds. Stephanie came to the door, and was then taken to a small island in the Atlantic Ocean by Ivan and Teresa.

There is really nothing to talk about such an experience, not to mention that he has no intention of telling Harry and Ron his secrets. Even if they may be aware of the existence of the Free Magical Union, the rules field is basically out of touch with ordinary people. As for the realm of wizards, Andre felt there was no need to let the two little boys know about it.

The carriage pulled by Thestrals quickly arrived at the castle. Hogwarts under the night was full of depth and mystery. Even after living here for two years, Andre still didn't feel that he fully understood this school. Not only was it There are all kinds of secret passages and chambers in the castle, and their principal is also shrouded in the unknown.

Fortunately, Professor Dumbledore is different from strong men like Voldemort, Ivan, and Teresa. He still retains love deep in his heart, unlike other warlocks in the rule field who only want to improve their strength. .

Although he can't wait, Andre also knows that he will definitely not be able to have an in-depth communication with the principal today. Regarding how to advance to the rules field, at least we have to wait until tomorrow.

Gu</span>When the four of them walked into the castle hall after two months of absence, the place was already crowded with people. The freshmen had already entered the castle at this moment, but they were still the last to appear. However, there were two more people at the teacher's bench. The first place is, of course, Hagrid and Lupin.

"Why is Hagrid sitting there? I remember where the professors were at that time, right?" Ron was the first to notice something was wrong, and he exclaimed in surprise.

Hermione also turned her attention to the teacher's desk. She was more concerned about Remus Lupin next to Hagrid. This gentleman went to Granger with Sirius and the others last Christmas. home, so she was not a stranger to him, but there was no communication between the two parties at that time, and the only thing she knew was the other person's name.

"Is that Mr. Lupin? Will he take over Sirius's position and become our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this year?" the little witch asked curiously.

But before Andre could answer, Harry smiled and said, "Yes, Uncle Remus will be the school's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this year. This was agreed upon at the end of last semester. thing."

"Ah," it was Ron's turn to be surprised. He said with some dissatisfaction, "You didn't tell us about this. I thought Sirius would continue to be a professor."

Oh, Andre just remembered that before the summer vacation, Sirius accepted the task assigned to him by Dumbledore and set out to track down Voldemort without telling Ron. Obviously, Harry did not reveal the news either. So in fact, among the students, only the two of them and the three little witches knew that there would be changes in the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this year.

Harry smiled bitterly and said, "I only found out during the summer vacation, and Sirius specifically asked me not to leak the news to anyone else."

This wasn't really a secret, but Sirius had specifically given Harry instructions, so he had his own reasons for wanting to beat him. Perhaps he didn't want people to know that he would set out to track down Voldemort during the holidays.

"Okay," since it was Sirius's intention, Ron was no longer angry. He turned to look at the teacher's chair and said, "So do you know this new professor?"

Andre explained: "I met him at Christmas last year. His name is Remus Lupin. Harry should be familiar with him. Professor Lupin is also a good friend of Harry's parents."

Harry nodded: "Yes, Sirius and Uncle Remus are also good friends. They and my father seem to have formed an organization when they were students."

In the Marauders Group, Andre knew that James Potter was not as great and upright as Harry imagined when he was young, but this was his private matter after all, and there was no need for him to speak out. After all, it was Snape and Harry. If he, an outsider, intervenes in the dispute between Li and Li, it may cause dissatisfaction on both sides.

"What about Hagrid? Will Hagrid also become a professor?" Ron continued to ask.

But about this, Harry had no idea at all. Hagrid obviously hid the news that he had become the Care of Magical Creatures professor very closely, and did not even tell Andre who lived in Hogsmeade.

"It should be the professor of Care of Magical Creatures," the little witch said. She glanced at the auditorium and guessed, "Look, the professor of this course before was Kettleburn, the old lame man. Sir, he is not here today, and he is indeed very old. I think he chose to retire, and then Mr. Principal asked Hagrid to be the professor of this course."

Although Professor Kettleburn has not taught a few of them, after all, there was no elective course on Care of Magical Creatures before the third grade, but because last year when they made Andre's suitcase for raising Norbert, they worked with this The professor had had contact with him, and although this matter was basically handled by Hagrid, they still knew about the professor's existence.

Now listening to Hermione's speculation, and then looking at the lack of people at the teacher's seat in the auditorium, it seems that there is a very high possibility, not to mention that they all know that Hagrid's biggest hobby is magical animals, and Norbert is also the hybrid giant. It's hatched.

Andre didn't expect the little witch's reasoning ability to be so good. He had never warned Hagrid before that he would be the professor of Care of Magical Creatures. Hermione obviously guessed it entirely on her own.

This was soon verified by Professor Dumbledore. Just like the opening ceremony of the previous two years, after the first-year students filed in and completed the sorting ceremony, the principal gave a brief speech and then focused on everyone. Two new professors were introduced.

Of course, Hagrid is a very familiar person to the students. Although this gamekeeper does not usually appear in the castle, you must know that every Hogwarts student is led by him when he enters the first grade. Then, we sailed across the Black Lake by boat and officially entered the castle.

As for Remus Lupin, who was dressed a little shabbily, no one else knew him except Andre and the others. His fame was obviously not as famous as Sirius who came out of Azkaban.

Fortunately, as a student at Hogwarts, I have long been used to having a new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor every year.

Andre noticed that Snape, who was sitting next to Professor McGonagall, looked gloomier than in previous years. This was normal. The two Defense Against the Dark Arts professors were his biggest enemies when they were students. It was strange that he was happy. .

Of course, Professor Lupine should be much gentler than the impulsive and irritable Sirius, otherwise Andre would feel sorry for their Potions professor.
