Hogwarts vampire professor

Peeves' words caused an uproar among the crowd.

Dumbledore's expression suddenly became solemn, and all the Gryffindor students were rushed to the auditorium.

Under the very tough emergency arrangements made by the professors, the little wizards, who had never seen such a battle before, acted very quickly and cooperated very well with the professors' work.

Only ten minutes later, students from Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin houses came to the auditorium along with Gryffindor students.

The auditorium suddenly became noisy, even more lively than the opening dinner, and many young wizards looked confused about the situation.

"The professors and I will conduct a thorough search of the castle," Dumbledore said to the students, standing on a high platform in front of the auditorium.

At this time, Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick closed all the doors in the auditorium, and even the magic that reflected the sky on the ceiling of the auditorium was turned off. A depressing atmosphere lingered in the entire auditorium.

"For the safety of all students, tomorrow's classes are temporarily suspended." Professor McGonagall informed, "I require the prefects to stand guard at each entrance of the auditorium, and the presidents of the male and female student unions remain in the auditorium to take charge."

"If anything happens, report it to me immediately," she added, looking at Percy who had already followed him. Percy looked proud of being an important person, "You can find a ghost to bring me a message."

The other young wizards, who had nothing to do, began to discuss eagerly how Sirius Black had arrived at Hogwarts Castle.

"Who guessed that a wanted criminal had escaped into the castle before?" Ron said to Harry and Hermione, "We thought this guess was the most unreliable before, but we didn't expect it to be true!"

"Do you think Black is still in the castle?" Hermione asked anxiously, not wanting to think about this problem.

"Dumbledore obviously thinks so," said Ron.

"It's really lucky for Harry that he chose today to come here. Do you know that?" Hermione said fearfully, "Today happens to be the day when we are going to practice magic and we are not in the tower..."

Not only was she afraid of Harry, she was also glad that her time turner was taken away by Professor Dracula.

Otherwise, when the professors ordered the little wizards to come to the auditorium, there would probably be two Hermiones in the castle.

Hermione was terrified just thinking about it.

What would happen if both Hermiones were pulled into the Great Hall by their prefects and professors; what if she was not discovered by the professors and prefects, but chose to stay where she was, and was discovered by Sirius Black Sample……

Fortunately, Professor Dracula took away her time-turner and avoided this worst-case scenario.

After Harry, Ron and Hermione listened to the professors' speeches, they walked straight to the corner of the long Gryffindor table, pulled up a few chairs and sat down, leaning their upper bodies on the table and talking quietly.

Harry's face looked a little unnatural.

He knew that Sirius Black wanted to kill him to please Voldemort, so he sneaked into Hogwarts Castle.

In a sense, he was the one who prevented the students of Hogwarts from returning to the common room, and even caused the classes to be canceled tomorrow.

Harry vaguely heard some trivial words from the long table in Ravenclaw next door. It seemed that some young wizards in Ravenclaw were complaining that he caused Hogwarts to be suspended.

Even Ravenclaw, a house that he usually gets along well with, has some people thinking this way, so a house like Slytherin, which has a lot of conflicts with him, must have said countless cynicism about him. Already...

"Don't care what they say, Harry." Hermione saw Harry's sadness and comforted her, "It's not your fault, it's all that Sirius Black's fault!"

"Yes, Harry, Black must have been tortured by the dementors in Azkaban and went crazy. He was actually brave enough to sneak into Hogwarts." Ron nodded in approval, "Fortunately, I am very happy today." Go ahead and take Harry out to practice spells, otherwise I don’t know what will happen!”

At this point, Ron's expression became a little proud again, as if he had done something great and saved the world.

Of course, after discussing other issues, the topic of the three young wizards inevitably returned to the same issue tacitly - how did Sirius Black get in?

"Maybe he knows how to become invisible," said a Ravenclaw a few feet away. "Just appear out of thin air, you know what I mean."

"Probably he came in with makeup." A student wearing a Hufflepuff House robe said next to him.

Harry turned his head and realized that it was Rolf and Luna who had come over to join the conversation at some point, while looking at Harry with concern.

They all knew that Sirius Black came to Hogwarts with only one purpose, and that was to find Harry!

Therefore, Harry's friends are worried about him.

Harry greeted them and said there was nothing wrong with him and that there was nothing to worry about.

"Otherwise... maybe he flew in." Dean Thomas, who was sitting not far from the Gryffindor table, also came over and gave his guess.

"Honestly, am I the only one who has taken the trouble to read Hogwarts: A History?" Hermione said angrily to the little wizards around her.

"It's very possible." Ron nodded seriously, "But why did you mention this suddenly? We all know that you are very powerful, Hermione. You really don't need to show it again."

"It's not because of this!" Hermione glared at Ron fiercely, "Hogwarts' protective magic is mentioned in "Hogwarts: A School History". If you read it carefully, you won't mention it. So many unreliable guesses!”

"This castle is not only protected by hardware such as walls," she went on to explain, "the castle is also enchanted with various magics to prevent outsiders from sneaking in. You can't get in by just being invisible."

"And I want to see what kind of makeup can fool the dementors outside the door. These guys guard every entrance... Even if he flies in on a broom, the dementors can easily see him."

"Not only that, Filch knows all the secret passages in the castle, and dementors will block these passages..."

Under Hermione's explanation, the young wizards quickly lost interest in continuing the discussion.

After all, Hogwarts's various defense measures have targeted all possible infiltration methods. With the little wizards' superficial understanding of magic, it is difficult to guess any reliable plan.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this." Harry lay on the table with some boredom, "Instead of discussing this, we should talk about what we can do if we are locked in the auditorium... If there are no classes tomorrow, We get bored quickly.”

"Look at it, at least we came to the auditorium without bringing anything," Ron looked a little happy, "We don't even have parchment, so we have a reason not to write the homework that hasn't been handed in yet!"

However, things obviously weren't going to turn out the way he imagined.

Dumbledore stayed in the auditorium for a while. Seeing that there was no problem here, he was about to leave the auditorium when he suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, by the way, you may need these things..." He waved his wand casually, and countless pieces of parchment flew in from nowhere and were piled on the table in front of every little wizard.

After another wave, the corresponding quill and ink appeared next to the parchment.

"Study hard!" Dumbledore said with a smile. "The more nervous you are, the more you must not forget to study! With these papers and pens, you can also help you pass some boring time."

Looking at the parchment and quills neatly placed in front of him, Ron's eyes widened, his expression completely numb.

…

Under Dumbledore's command, all the faculty and staff moved.

They searched the entire Hogwarts Castle carefully, leaving no corner untouched. However, Sirius Black seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, completely disappearing.

"Actually, you don't need to let the professors run around."

After Dumbledore personally searched the entire eighth floor, Dracula's figure suddenly appeared behind him.

Dumbledore turned and looked at him inquiringly.

"You know that I can view the entire castle through the Hogwarts title deed, why do you still need professors to patrol back and forth?" Dracula asked with a frown.

"Sometimes, even if you know that Sirius Black will not be found, the work that needs to be done still needs to be done." Dumbledore turned around and smiled softly.

"The staff of the Ministry of Magic and those dementors are just waiting for us to make mistakes in our work so that they can come in and occupy Hogwarts!"

"If we do nothing, people from the Ministry of Magic will think that my principal is incompetent, and even the faculty and staff will probably discuss it. So, Professor Dracula, whether or not this round of searches is It is quite necessary to be able to get results from the search," Dumbledore said.

"Tsk, so I'm just saying, people like you are really troublesome, and they are always constrained by a department like the Ministry of Magic that has no strength at all." Dracula sneered, "There are so many twists and turns, It’s annoying to hear!”

"Sometimes, it's not a bad thing for a person to have some constraints." Dumbledore smiled with a somewhat sentimental expression, "I'd better not mention these and tell you what you found on the land deed, Professor Dracula. "

"If I had discovered something, would I be bored and chatting with you here?" Dracula curled his lips, "Not only did I not find any useful information this time, but I also found it before using the time converter. I checked the land deed once and found no suspicious figure at all..."

"I roughly estimated that the time should almost coincide with the time when Sirius Black destroyed the portrait!"

"From this point of view, this Black is really an interesting person. He can escape from the heavily guarded Azkaban and sneak into the heavily protected Hogwarts Castle without being discovered."

Dracula raised the corners of his mouth with interest, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Sirius was indeed a very good wizard." Dumbledore nodded, "But I never thought he had the ability to sneak into Hogwarts and escape Azkaban... Maybe it's because of my understanding of him. It’s still too little.”

He sighed, held his hands on the marble railing next to him, and fell into deep thought.

"Actually, it's not that we don't have a way to catch Sirius Black..." Dracula glanced at Dumbledore with a meaningful look in his eyes and said softly, "You should understand what I mean, Dumbledore? "

Dumbledore turned around in shock and saw Dracula's eyes full of meaning.

"No!" He refused decisively, "This is not how the time turner is meant to be used!"

"But the Time Turner allows us to find Sirius Black very easily -" Dracula said nonchalantly, "we just need to hide at the door of the Gryffindor common room and wait for him."

"Don't you want to catch him and ask him what happened back then? Or...don't you want the little wizards to go back to the common room and have a good sleep?"

Dracula's two questions hit Dumbledore's mind one after another.

There is no doubt that these two issues are urgent matters that the old principal needs to solve now.

His old hand was placed in his pocket, gently stroking the time turner that Dracula had just handed over not long ago, hesitating in his heart.

"Don't hesitate, Dumbledore, do you want to wait until the five-hour maximum recall time has passed and regret it when you have no chance to use it?" Dracula urged.

Dumbledore unconsciously tightened his grip on the metal necklace on the Time Turner.

The cold temperature of the necklace gradually made his eyes blur, as if he had returned to decades ago and was holding on to the cold blood alliance.

Thinking of the Blood Pact, Dumbledore suddenly came to his senses.

"It's not necessary, Professor Dracula." He smiled lonely, "The rules are like a dangerous wall that prevents me from falling. Once destroyed once, there is no way to re-erect it."

He looked into Dracula's eyes and said softly, "Actually, there is no need to feel sorry. After all, the remaining energy in this time turner is not enough for a great wizard to perform another time retrospective."

"Forget it, I should have thought of it earlier." Dracula walked to Dumbledore and also leaned on the railing next to the corridor. "You look like a casual guy, but you are actually stubborn to the core."

"Tell me, how are you going to deal with the threat of Sirius Black?" he asked, "Don't tell me any irresponsible words like 'take it one step at a time'. I don't believe you don't have a backup." plan."

"I really can't hide it from you, Professor Dracula." Dumbledore said with a smile, "I'm going to ask James and Sirius's best friend from back then to help. He is the person who knows Sirius best today."

"I finally contacted him a while ago, and he should be in Romania now. It's quite a coincidence, that seems to be your home ground, Professor Dracula!"
