"You idiot!" Voldemort yelled at Quirrell in the mirror, "It's been so many days, can't you even see that Dracula's defense against you?"

Quirrell's expression was obviously a little confused, "Defense? Why should he guard against a Hogwarts joke?"

"It's not all because of you, a waste, that I had to do it myself that day." Voldemort said coldly, "The magic that I took you away at that time was too rare, and it was not something you could control with the strength you showed. .”

"Now I even suspect that the reason he agreed with you to come to Hogwarts is to study the magic that I took you to escape, as well as other secrets about you!"

"What...how...what should I do?" Quirrell stuttered out of shock, "Then don't I have to be stared at by him all the time, and... there is no chance to find the Philosopher's Stone again?"

"Don't worry, we can wait for an opportunity." Voldemort said very gloomyly, "Wait for an opportunity when everyone gathers together and has no time to care about you. Then you do this..."

……

Voldemort didn't have to wait long for the chance to speak to Quirrell.

Immersed in the teaching career accompanied by many young people, more than a month has passed quietly, and Dracula is about to usher in his first Halloween at Hogwarts.

In the principal's office on the eighth floor of the main tower of the castle, Dracula is leaning against a wall covered with portraits, next to him is a pointed wizard hat.

There was a slit at the brim of the hat, and two folds formed eyes.At this time, the brim and folds of the hat just formed a hopeless expression, and the despair made the man silent and the woman cry!

"Woooo...you can't do this to me. I'm a magic hat with a mind. Every speck of dust on my body is a symbol of my vicissitudes..." The Sorting Hat cried out heartbreakingly, "And now , look at the difference between me and those ordinary hats!"

At this moment, the Sorting Hat, which was originally tattered and dusty, has taken on a completely new look!All worn and patched areas have been repaired and replaced, and dirty exteriors have been cleaned.

The current Sorting Hat is like a brand-new wizard's hat, and there is no way to tell that it is actually a thousand years old.

"Don't you feel bad if you haven't showered for so long? Why don't you like me to clean it up for you?" Dracula looked at the brand new sorting hat playfully.

He tossed it up, then reached out to catch it, and ran again, having a great time.

"Stop, stop! I'm going to throw up!" The Sorting Hat spun and begged for mercy loudly, "I was wrong, Lord Earl, I shouldn't be dissatisfied with your decision in the slightest!"

Dracula stopped when he heard the Sorting Hat begging for mercy, and placed it casually on the stool next to him.

"How about it, do you still want to protest now?" Dracula asked it with a slight hook at the corner of his mouth.

His slender fingers were hanging on the edge of the brim of the Sorting Hat, as if the hat's answer was slightly unsatisfactory, and he was ready to let it experience the joy of free falling and spinning in the air.

"I won't protest anymore, I don't dare anymore." The Sorting Hat said absent-mindedly, "My lord, please forgive me. I just didn't get used to it just now, but now I feel clean after I get used to it." It's pretty good too."

Only then did Dracula withdraw his hand, which made the Sorting Hat heave a sigh of relief.

On the portrait wall next to it, the portraits of successive principals also expressed their approval for the new and clean image of the Sorting Hat.

A Slytherin headmaster with a thin eyebrow and a goatee commented:

"Very good, I finally don't have to be affected by a tattered hat every day when I open my eyes."

Dracula glanced up and saw the headmaster's name, Phineas Nigellus Black, marked under the portrait.Dracula didn't know the headmaster, Phineas Black should be the wizard who became the headmaster after he fell asleep.

At this time, another witch took over the topic, "Sir Dracula, I remember looking for you several times when I was the headmaster, but you didn't even bother to come to Hogwarts to see me. Why do you change now?" Dumbledore was the headmaster, but you came here to apply for the teaching position yourself

Awarded. "

She looked straight at Dracula with a sour tone.

"Ah, Dai Lisi, long time no see." Dracula raised his hand and greeted the intellectual and elegant Principal Dai Lisi Dewente in the portrait.

Afterwards, he did not hesitate to blame Dumbledore, "Dalice, you managed Hogwarts too safely and stably in those years when you were the headmaster. I'm afraid I couldn't find anything interesting in the past. "

"But it's different now. Hogwarts under Dumbledore's management has become a lot of fun to find. For example, the professorship of Defense Against the Dark Arts that changes every year. I'm very interested in it. "

Headmaster Derwent covered his mouth and chuckled, and turned his gaze to Dumbledore who was looking at him helplessly.

"Professor Dracula, how do I feel that you are speaking ill of me to my face?" Dumbledore stood up from behind the desk and came to Dracula and said.

"That's not true, I'm just telling the truth." Dracula changed the subject silently, "I was distracted by the Sorting Hat just now, and I was busy cleaning it, and I haven't asked you why you called me here Woolen cloth?"

Dumbledore was happy to change the subject, and then Dracula said:

"It's actually not a big deal. Isn't it almost Halloween? This festival is quite in line with the temperament of the count of vampires, so I would like to ask, does Professor Dracula have any ideas for performing shows?"

"A performance?" Dracula raised his eyebrows. "I remember you told me to try not to expose my vampire identity, so as to prevent some students' parents from protesting."

"It's not suitable to reveal your identity at other times, but Halloween is different." Dumbledore smiled, "No matter what you become on Halloween, the little wizards and professors will think it's role-playing, and they won't really doubt Degu. Pulling the identity of the professor."

"Forget it, it's too troublesome to perform a show or something." Dracula shook his head, "But I can help you write a letter and find a famous mixed-race vampire singer to perform a show. I just need him Called over to ask something."

"In addition, the layout of the auditorium can also be entrusted to me. With the lack of imagination of the Hogwarts professors, it is really inconvenient to do such a thing!"

Chapter 21 The Bad Professor Dracula

Thus, Dracula became the scene layout planner of the Halloween banquet.

On the last night of October, when the little wizards came to the auditorium in groups, they were instantly shocked.

The door of the Hogwarts auditorium turned into a big mouth that wanted to eat people, and a few sharp fangs hung on the door, as if to chew up the little wizards.

In the wizarding world, Halloween is of great significance to wizards.

Therefore, even a newly enrolled little wizard has experienced the baptism of Halloween atmosphere no less than ten times.The current scene did not make them feel scared, they just looked at the various decorations in the auditorium in amazement, and were greatly shocked.

Of course, there were some children from Muggle families among the freshmen. They had never seen such a battle before, and they were almost terrified.

When a giant spider slammed down from the "fangs", several timid girls almost cried.

The interior of the auditorium has also completely changed its color.

Thousands of dazzling candles floating in the sky disappeared, replaced by thousands of bats flapping their wings and flying around in the air.Accompanied by dark clouds that filled the entire auditorium.

On the enchanted transparent ceiling, there is a dark cloud summoned by weather spells, and thunder roars and lightning bursts from time to time.

There was a small space among the thunderclouds, just showing a crescent moon, casting glistening moonlight in the half-covered dark clouds.

Turning his gaze back to the auditorium, he could see that the four long tables of the academy had turned into black dead wood.On both sides of the long table, there are countless thin and dry branches stretching out, and occasionally there will be bats hanging upside down on the dead branches to rest.

In front of the auditorium, a big pumpkin that Hagrid had planted was carved with an evil smile.A bright candle was placed inside the hollowed out pumpkin belly, and the candle flame flickered with the movement of the dark clouds above the dining table.

The largest pumpkin was cast with an expansion spell, covering the front area of ​​the auditorium, swallowing the entire professor's seat in its stomach, and little wizards could see professors in different costumes from the mouth of the giant jack-o-lantern.

Dumbledore sat on the pumpkin chair in the middle.In response to the atmosphere of Halloween, he specially wore a pure white robe.The white robe levitated from time to time under the influence of magic, making Dumbledore look like a ghost.

The little Professor Flitwick put a pumpkin helmet on his head, and he sat on a pumpkin chair that was much taller than others, like a small pumpkin knight.

Professor McGonagall, who was always serious, didn't keep a straight face this time either.She used transfiguration to turn her top hat into black, and there was a small black cat lying on the hat, and the black cat wagged its tail from time to time.

Snape was the only professor in the entire chair not wearing a Christmas costume.But his gloomy face, like a big bat's shape and temperament, perfectly blended with the Halloween atmosphere.

As for Dracula, he didn't look any different than usual.

But when the little wizards walked into the auditorium, Dracula smiled happily when he saw the frightened performance of the new students at the door.In his bewitching smile, the two sharp side teeth are particularly conspicuous.

……

Fred and George were the first students to get into the Halloween atmosphere.

They smeared each other's faces in black and white to make a bad skeleton look, and stormed into the auditorium screaming.

Taking advantage of the dim light in the auditorium, the two secretly mingled among the students, and from time to time they suddenly used the magic wand illuminating spell to illuminate their skull faces, scaring the students next to them into jumping.

In the dim light, Dracula still maintained clear vision.

He was sitting on the professor's seat, shaking a glass of bright red wine in his hand, and was enjoying the fun that the twins had made, until the two took out a handful of dung bombs and stink bombs...

Dracula's face turned black, and his figure disappeared instantly.

The next moment, he appeared behind the twins and snapped his fingers.All dung and stink bombs were frozen in hard ice.

Fred and George felt their hands sinking, and only realized Dracula's arrival after they found the big ice cube in their hands.

"Ah, professor, aren't you at the professor's seat? Why did you come here without making a sound?" Frey

De subconsciously wanted to hide the dung bomb in the ice behind his back.

However, the ice was too cold, and his hand couldn't help shaking, and the heavy ice puck came out of his hand and fell to the ground.

The corners of Dracula's eyes twitched, and he beckoned before the group of dung bombs hit the ground, took them into his hands, and conveniently took the stink bombs in George's hand into the traceless stretching space he was carrying.

"Professor, this is our hard-earned savings, you must not confiscate them!" George made a pitiful expression.

But combined with the skull painting on his face, this expression only shows funny and ferocious.

"Today is Halloween, and there is nothing wrong with the two of you playing some pranks during the festival." Dracula looked at the two funny skull faces and said considerately.

Afterwards, his face turned cold, "But don't you know? We have a dinner party in a while! Do you want everyone to eat together in the stench?!"

Fred and George smiled mischievously, not knowing what to say.

"I confiscated these things, and I will return them to you when I am in a better mood."

Dracula didn't bother to reprimand the twins.

The red and black cloak swung slightly, and his figure instantly returned to the professor's seat.

I thought that the Halloween dinner would be carried out step by step, but what Dracula didn't expect was that within a few minutes, the Weasley twins got into the big pumpkin lantern with two funny skull faces, secretly Came to the professor's seat.

"I won't be in a good mood when I see you two, take back the hearts of those big dung bombs." Dracula said impatiently to the twins.

"Professor, don't get me wrong, we're not here to recover dung bombs and stink bombs." Fred quickly explained.

George nodded beside him, "We just thought that since it's Halloween, there must be some procedures to go through."

With that said, the two looked at each other with smirks, and said in unison:

“Trick or treat! (Trk or rea!)”

Dracula looked at the two with some surprise, and then showed a playful smile.

"Take it!" He grabbed a handful of lollipops on the table and threw them to them.

"Thank you, Professor!" Fred and George laughed and took the lollipops, and put them in their mouths at the same time.
