Professor The Vampire Earl of Hogwarts

The Slytherin statue told Dracula a lot about Horcruxes and Death, the fruit of his lifelong research as founder of the great Slytherin house.

Dracula remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

"If it wasn't for you not coming to see me, I should have told you these things a long time ago." Slytherin said with some complaints, "This statue of mine exists for this purpose, and you really made me wait for a while! "

"So, you've been waiting to tell me these things all these years?" Dracula glanced at the Slytherin statue and said thoughtfully, "Could it be..."

An astonishing idea emerged in his mind——

"Could it be that you want me to fulfill your wish to replace Death for you?" Dracula's pupils shrank suddenly.

"Ah, you are indeed my good buddy, you really understand what I mean!" Slytherin stroked his stiff beard and said with satisfaction, "Of course, it still depends on your own ideas."

"Don't I know you yet? Unless one thing can completely arouse your interest, no one can convince you."

Dracula raised his eyebrows in surprise, gazing into Slytherin's eyes.

The Slytherins, too, stared at Dracula with meaningful gray stone eyes.

"I'm really interested... Tell me about it in detail?" After a while, Dracula suddenly laughed happily, "It's been hard to find any more fun in the magic world these years, maybe you can become a so-called god of death It's going to be a little more interesting."

Slytherin's two stone palms clapped together with a crisp sound.

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

Dracula froze for a moment, and suddenly an intriguing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"What's the matter, do you find it difficult?" Seeing Dracula's expression, Slytherin comforted him, "Don't worry, although for a wizard like me, it is difficult for a wizard like me to unravel the three mysterious things in a few hundred years. The Deathly Hallows collection is complete, but you are different..."

"Brad, you have countless hours, 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 it."

"I'm not bothered." Dracula shook his head with a half-smile, "I just... suddenly want to laugh."

"You 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, so that we can play our best in the world where the god of death lives. The original strength—"

"The place where the god of death is has a great oppressive force on the people of this world. The energy there will restrict the flow of magic power, affect the clarity of the mind, and at the same time will continue to erode our bodies."

"The Deathly Hallows can resist this: the Elder Wand can restore the flow of magic power, the Resurrection Stone can protect the mind of the holder, and the Invisibility Cloak can resist the continuous erosion of the outside world... These functions may not be seen in this world, But in the realm of Reaper it will become extremely evident."

"According to rumors, after the three Peverell brothers had conflicts with the God of Death, they specially created it to fight against the God of Death... But before the three of them could gather the three Deathly Hallows in one hand, they were killed by the God of Death. Divided and broken."

"In the end, only Ignotus Peverell, who possessed the invisibility cloak, escaped the pursuit of death, but he was no longer able to fight back. In the end, he could only entrust this hope to future generations..."

Hearing the story told by Slytherin, Dracula fell into deep thought.

According to Slytherin, replacing Reaper has almost become an imperative.

First of all, Dracula is indeed very interested in this character that has been passed down in the legends of the magical world, and when he went from the Death Hall of the Department of Mysteries to the world of the God of Death, he did form a bridge with the God of Death to take revenge. quite reasonable;

Secondly, many of Dracula's friends, juniors and other people who are close to each other need someone to guide their souls——

Dumbledore wants to go to the lost land 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 in it can also be said to have nowhere to rest, homeless...

If Dracula could replace Grim Reaper, these problems would be solved.

"By the way, there's one more thing." Slytherin added suddenly, "I think there's something you might need."

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

"Did you see that crutch? It's actually Haierbo's Horcrux... Haierbo thought he had disguised it well and put it in his warehouse like an ordinary collection. But I recognized it at a glance. generally."

Looking at Dracula whose eyes were slowly widening, Slytherin said proudly:

"After all, I have accepted Haierbo's inheritance, and I am ashamed to destroy the Horcrux he relies on for survival..."

"It's okay to give it to you. I entrust you to help protect it. Even if you do something to it, it's just that I don't know who it is. It has nothing to do with me!"

……

In a valley in the west of England, there is a small village here.

There is a small square in the center of the village, and in the center of the square is a war monument carved out of stone.

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

There was light rain pattering in the sky, and Dracula walked in the rain without an umbrella, but every drop of rainwater would automatically slant and scatter when it approached him, and then fell on the stone-paved ground.

Dracula passed by a few Muggles who were hurrying to and fro, and came to the monument in the middle of the square.

The monument suddenly changed, it was no longer an obelisk full of names, but a statue of three people——

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

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

Dracula looked at the statue of the family of three with great interest, and it was easy to recognize who was carved here: the man with disheveled hair looked so much like Harry, except that there was no such thing on his forehead. The well-known lightning-shaped scar.

The statues of these three people were spontaneously 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 southwest England is the birthplace of Godric Gryffindor, founder of Gryffindor College, and where wizarding goldsmith Bowman Wright crafted the first Snitch.

During the 100 years of Dracula's sleep, this is still the pillar of the magic world today, the place where the great wizard Albus Dumbledore once lived, and the place where Dumbledore and Grindelwald met for the first time. Where Voldemort was first defeated...

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

There was a narrow gate at the entrance to the cemetery, and rows of soggy tombstones stood on the soggy soil.

One of the tombstones seems to have been cleaned recently. There is no weed around it, nor is it covered with moss like other tombstones, but it is very clean and tidy.There is also a bouquet of white flowers that bloom in the rain in front of the monument.

Dracula's eyes were slightly condensed, and he looked at the dark stele——

"Kandra Dumbledore, and daughter Ariana."

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

"Is that 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 disturbed; when Dracula gave him the resurrection stone that Riddle had absorbed, for a long time, he was Research the 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 pursues the resurrection stone for Arianna.

Dracula sighed softly.

Afterwards, he stopped lingering, 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.

"Come on, wait a minute..." An old lady's voice came from the room.

Not long after, the door creaked open.

An old lady wearing an old black shawl stuck her head out from behind the door. She was short in stature, her hair was thin and pale, and the wrinkles on her face were almost connected together.

The old lady raised her head and looked at Dracula who was smiling faintly outside the door with cloudy eyes. Her expression was a little dazed at first, and then the cloudiness in her vision seemed to dissipate instantly, and she looked at Dracula with wide eyes.

"You... are you?"

"Long time no see, Bathilda." Dracula chuckled.

"Is it really you, Mr. Dracula?" Bathilda Bashat asked in surprise, "I can't believe that you are still exactly the same as you were more than 100 years ago..."

Bathilda Bashat was also a member of Nicole Flamel's Phoenix Cameo book more than 100 years ago, and had a period of internship in the Alchemy Guild.

At that time, Nicole Flamel was only over 400 years old, and he had not yet fully retired. From time to time, he went to the Alchemy Association to give advice to young people; Dracula often followed him to see if there was anything new.

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

"Well, Bathilda, Nico told me that Albus was staying with you recently, right?" Dracula asked, "If he hadn't mentioned that Grindelwald was also with you, I wouldn't have thought of Grindelwald." Wo is actually your grandnephew."

"Ah, you said Gellert, the relationship between him and Albus seems to be on the mend recently." Bathilda Bashat said with a smile, "They were both young and vigorous boys back then, but now They are all gray-haired old men... only Mr. Dracula is still the same as before."

"Okay, I won't tell you about the old days." Dracula interrupted her memory with a smile, and said, "I have something to do with Albus."

"Oh! I almost forgot that it was still raining outside." Bashat opened the door, "Come in!"

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

There were many photographs on the chest of drawers, and the reflections of the candle flames flickered in the glass and silver frames of the photographs as they danced.

In a photograph at the back, two beaming teenagers, one blonde and one red, stand together, smiling lollingly at Dracula in a silver frame.

Dracula picked up the photo.

"Good evening, Professor Dracula."

In the living room, the white-haired Dumbledore came over and greeted Dracula.

Seeing the photo in Dracula's hand, Dumbledore seemed a little surprised.

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

"This blonde-haired one should be Grindelwald?" Dracula asked with great interest, "I saw him in the Mirror of Erised in front of you five years ago... Tsk tsk, what is the relationship between you two?" very nice."

"Ahem..." Dumbledore almost choked on his own saliva, and coughed twice, "Professor Dracula, it's not a good habit to peek into other people's privacy...and that was a long time ago .”

Suddenly, another white-haired figure came out of the room.

"Dracula, what did you just say?" Grindelwald asked, with a strange light in his eyes, "You mean, in Albus's Mirror of Erised..."

"Gellert, this matter is not important!" Dumbledore interrupted him bluntly, 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 look on his face.

"Is that so, I see." He said to Dumbledore, smiling happily, "Well, when will you get rid of your stubbornness, Albus?"

Dumbledore was expressionless, ignoring Grindelwald's thoughts at all, but looked straight at Dracula.

"Professor Dracula, what's the reason for coming to me this time?" He asked.

"To be precise, I came here this time not only to find you, but also to find him."

Dracula glanced at Grindelwald, "There is a solution to Potter's problem, and it can also deal with the threat of Voldemort by the way...but I need some help from the two of you..."

"Also, I will need to borrow the three Deathly Hallows for a while."

"It's time, too. It's time to put an end to all these troubles."
