"Hagrid, why don't you tell us about Nicole Flamel and Dumbledore, so we don't have to go to such trouble."

At the entrance of the auditorium, Harry began to repeat Hagrid's words, wanting to know directly from him who Nico Flamel was and what Dumbledore had hidden for him.

After all, when Hermione returned home for Christmas, Harry was quite self-aware of his and Ron's ability to look up information.

"We've looked through at least a hundred books, but we haven't even found his shadow. Just give us a little hint, I know where I've seen his name before!" Harry said.

"I won't say anything." Hagrid covered his mouth and said dryly, "I promised Dumbledore that I will keep my mouth shut."

At this moment, a silver-haired figure shaking a red wine glass happened to pass by. He walked to the corridor of the entrance courtyard where several people were, and looked at them curiously.

Seeing the person coming, Harry, Ron, and Hagrid were all shocked in an instant.

"Good evening, Professor Dracula!" they said in unison.

"Good evening, Hagrid, and Potter and Weasley." Dracula took a sip of the bright red wine, nodded slightly to the few people present, and then asked with interest, "I seem to hear you Are you talking about Nicole Flamel?"

"Professor Dracula, do you know Nicole Flamel?" Harry's eyes lit up, and he asked Dracula quickly, "Hagrid said he would keep his mouth shut and never tell us about Nicole Flamel But we have clearly seen this name before, but we just can’t remember it!”

"Hagrid, Dumbledore really believed that you would keep your mouth shut." Dracula seemed to be able to hold back a look at Hagrid, and comforted him.

Hagrid was still covering his mouth, and said gratefully: "Professor Dracula, I am so happy that you can say that."

"Yeah, the opening of the bottle is definitely not the bottle's fault, but the corkscrew's fault. You don't have to be too sad even if you leaked something."

As he spoke, Dracula drank the bright red wine in the glass, then suspended the goblet in the air, and took out a bottle of elegant red wine from his pocket.As he lightly twisted his index finger, the cork at the mouth of the bottle popped out with a "poof".

Dracula refilled himself with another glass of bright red wine, then looked up at Hagrid.

At this time, Hagrid saw that Dracula had put the cork back on the wine bottle again, and thought of the tight-lipped and bottle opener he just mentioned, he couldn't help crying sadly.

"Professor, isn't it appropriate to provoke Hagrid like this..." Harry quietly approached Dracula and whispered to him.

As for Ron, watching Hagrid cover his big face in a dirty handkerchief, he couldn't help taking a step back, distanced himself from the terrifying Professor Dracula.

"Don't worry, Hagrid will be strong." Ignoring Ron's small movements, Dracula said to Harry, "By the way, what are you looking for with Nicole Flamel?"

"I...we..." Harry didn't know how to speak for a moment.

Basically all they learned about the three-headed dog and the restricted area on the fourth floor was during the process of violating school rules.How would Harry tell a professor about these things?

However, Dracula didn't seem to care about the reason at all. Without waiting for Harry to explain the reason, he asked with great interest:

"It seems that you have already been to the restricted area in the corridor on the fourth floor. How do you feel, can you pass the test of Hagrid's cutie in the first level?"

"What? Hagrid's cutie?!" Harry looked at Dracula in shock, and then turned his gaze to Hagrid, feeling that his cognition had been greatly impacted.

Ron, who had just opened the distance, couldn't help but screamed out, and sneaked back to Harry's side again, looking at Hagrid with inquiring eyes.

"So Hermione is right, is that big scary dog ​​really guarding something under the trapdoor?" Ron asked, "That Nico LeMetro Dumbledore helped guard thing?"

"What's a scary big dog? That's Lu Wei! He's very obedient and doesn't bite." Hearing Ron's description, Hagrid was unhappy.

Harry stood side by side with Ron, looking at him suspiciously.

"Hey, what kind of eyes do you have, I'm telling the truth!" Hagrid said loudly, "And Nicole Flamel's stuff has nothing to do with you, don't look for it anymore, why can't you put your exuberant Are you devoting all your energy to studying?"

While sipping the red wine, Dracula watched the interesting performance of the three of Harry, and felt that he had watched a good show.

"Professor Dracula, these little guys are too curious." Unable to stand the entanglement of the two little wizards, Harry and Ron, Hagrid turned his eyes to Dracula for help, "I don't quite understand why you should Tell them about Lu Wei? I'm really afraid that I'll say something wrong..."

"It's okay, Hagrid." Dracula chuckled lightly and raised his glass to Hagrid, "It doesn't matter if you really leaked something, everything is still in Dumbledore's plan!"

"But I'm not sure if I'll delay Dumbledore's plans…" Hagrid muttered under his breath.

Looking at Harry and Ron's expectant eyes, Dracula thought for a while, put the goblet in the air again, and then took out a bronze mirror carved with a phoenix relief from his pocket.

"You two, if you want to know who Nicole Flamel is, come with me." He played with the bronze mirror and walked towards the marble steps at the entrance of the auditorium.The goblet carrying the bright red wine was floating steadily on the side, fluttering forward as he walked.

Harry and Ron hurried to follow.

"Professor Dracula, you can't..." Hagrid wanted to stop him, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Dracula's look back.

"Don't worry, Hagrid, I'm sensible." Dracula said.

He smiled at Hagrid, then turned his head, and disappeared around the corner of the stairs with the two little wizards.

……

The three went straight into the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office on the third floor of the castle.

Dracula sat comfortably in the soft armchair, and the wine glass floating around him automatically fell on the desk.Harry and Ron stood awkwardly in the doorway, rubbing the corners of their clothes uneasily with their hands.

"Sit wherever you want." Dracula glanced at them and pointed to the sofa in the office with his chin.

Then he raised the bronze mirror in his hand, showing a relaxed smile,

"Nico, there are two funny little guys who want to know who you are, do you want to say hello to them?"

Chapter 45 Harry and Ron's gift

Reading tips: To prevent incomplete access to content, please do not use the browser reading mode.

Until Christmas Day, Harry and Ron couldn't believe that the two of them actually found out who Nico Flamel was without Hermione, and even had a few words with him!

"Ron, do you know what the Philosopher's Stone that Mr. Flamel is talking about?" Harry sat on the ground, and while unpacking a large stack of gift boxes in front of him, he turned to Ron and asked, "You You know what I mean, you are a pure blood wizard, you should know more about these things than I do."

"Don't mention such things as pure blood and impure blood, that's what a hideous family like Malfoy would say!" Ron retorted.

As he said that, he seemed to remember something, and laughed out loud with a "poof", "Speaking of Malfoy, do you still remember that day when Draco Malfoy was crying and fussing, and was picked up by his father?" The scene of leaving Hogwarts, hahahaha..."

Harry thought of Malfoy's embarrassment at the time, and laughed too.The two laughed for a long time before barely stopping.

"So you don't know what the Philosopher's Stone is?" Harry asked with a restrained smile, forcing the topic back on track.

"Well, I'm really not sure." Ron sighed when he failed to change the topic. "We can wait for Hermione to come back and ask her. She must know about the Sorcerer's Stone after reading so many books!"

"That's the only way." Harry nodded.

He looked at his gift boxes all over the floor, and asked hesitantly, "You said...Professor Dracula has helped us so much, shouldn't we prepare a Christmas present for him as well?"

"It's true that he should be given a gift, but he saved you once on the Quidditch pitch." Ron nodded.

As a little wizard who has been fostered at his aunt's house for a long time and has no friends or pocket money since childhood, Harry has never had any chance to give Christmas gifts.

Coming to Hogwarts this year, he got a lot of wealth left by his parents, and also made many good friends at school, which made his Christmas more meaningful and warm, Finally, there is a sense of ritual of exchanging Christmas gifts with others.

But after all, it was the first time for Harry to experience such a complete Christmas. Subconsciously, he only thought of giving Christmas gifts to his friends, but he forgot to prepare one for his most admired Professor Dracula.

Just now, when he saw a large piece of Christmas gift boxes on the ground, and thought of the phone call with Nicole Flamel yesterday, he realized that he should show his heart to Professor Dracula!

"Ron, help me think about what to give the professor!" He was anxious and shook Ron's shoulders.

But soon Harry's mood became depressed, "For someone as powerful as the professor, he probably won't lack anything..."

"Don't say that, Harry, gift giving is just a formality, the most important thing is to grasp the details!" Ron said with a very experienced look, patting his chest, "Think about it, what Professor Dracula usually likes to do ?”

"Eh... like to lean against the wall and watch the fun?" Harry asked uncertainly.

"That's not what I'm talking about!" Ron waved his fist, "You have to think about specific aspects, for example, what small habits does the professor usually have?"

Harry thought hard for a long time before hesitatingly said: "Professor Dracula...seems like he often holds a lollipop or a goblet?"

"That's right!" Ron patted his thigh, "So Professor Dracula likes to eat lollipops and drink!"

"Um...it's that simple?" Harry was stunned, feeling that this was different from the cold and unrestrained image he imagined of Professor Dracula.

"You don't understand that, that kind of powerful wizard always has some little hobbies." Ron said confidently, "For example, Dumbledore, my mother once told us that he would eat Sweets, so I have to go to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries every year to treat tooth decay!"

Harry had a weird expression on his face, but thinking of Dumbledore's usual little fun, he nodded in conviction.

"Ron, then I'll leave it to you to prepare the gift. I believe you will do a great job!" Harry patted Ron on the shoulder, took out a handful of Galleons from his pocket, and handed it to him. , "Be sure to buy the best gift for Professor Dracula! If there are some left at the end, you can buy yourself some snacks."

Ron had never seen so many Garen in his life, so he couldn't help swallowing.

Afterwards, he patted his chest heavily and assured, "Don't worry, it's absolutely fine to leave it to me to prepare gifts!"

Then, he ran out of the bedroom in a hurry.

He was going to write an owl letter to Hogsmeade's shop, so that Professor Dracula's Christmas gift could be prepared as quickly as possible.

And Harry received too many gifts from fans or admirers, so he could only continue to sit in his dormitory with trembling hands, unpacking a lot of gift boxes.

"what?"

When he unwrapped the last package of light Christmas presents, he couldn't help but gasp slightly.

A liquid-like, silver-gray substance slid to the floor and gathered in a heap, shining brightly.

……

Hogsmeade is a wizarding village located near Hogwarts Castle, which can be reached quickly by crossing the long wooden bridge on the west side of the castle.

Because of the close distance, Dracula received the gift from the merchant in Hogsmeade from Harry and Ron before the Christmas banquet at noon that day.

Dracula looked at the crooked words written on the gift box——

Merry Christmas with the professor's favorite lollipop and wine, HP & R..

"These two lads have a future. This will save me the trouble of going shopping again!"

He nodded in satisfaction, snapped his fingers, and the gift box peeled off by itself.

However, at the moment when he saw the gift, Dracula's face immediately turned dark——

Among the gifts sent by Harry and Ron, a bottle of beautifully packaged vodka stood in the center of the gift box, surrounded by a circle of Ron's favorite sunny orange-flavored lollipops, which were neatly inserted on the base , exuding colors like bright sunshine...

"..."

Dracula pushed the sunny orange-flavored lollipop and the bottle of vodka away from him with a look of displeasure, and wrapped them in the gift box just opened again with magic.

A bat appeared out of thin air, picked up the gift box, flew from the window to the principal's office on the eighth floor, and delivered it directly to Dumbledore.

Afterwards, Dracula, still unrelieved, appeared in Quirrell's office in a flash.

"Assistant Quirrell, find out the holiday homework of Harry Potter and Ron Weasley after school starts, and correct it according to the strictest standards!"
