Hogwarts from another world

In the Defense Against Dark Arts classroom, the Slytherin and Ravenclaw students were leaving one after another.

Among them, Hermione Granger, when leaving the classroom, gave Matthew a worried look.

However, Matthew Wakefield was not panicked at all. Instead, he gave Hermione a "don't worry" look.

Hermione had no choice but to leave worriedly.

A few minutes later, Matthew and Professor Trocca were the only two people left in the huge classroom.

"I wonder what's wrong with you, Professor?" Matthew asked first, his voice was very calm.

At the same time, he was still sitting in his seat and did not move.

"The petrification spell is very good, Matthew." Professor Troca sat down opposite Matthew, and he began to address Matthew by his first name: "I practice it regularly."

"Yes." Matthew admitted honestly: "I have been practicing in my free time these past few weeks; for us very young wizards, the petrification spell is the only protective spell we can use. This is what your professor said in the last class; so of course I have to work harder."

"Very good." Professor Trocca smiled and glanced at Matthew with admiration: "I originally thought that you would only work hard on the content of the Transfiguration class, but I didn't expect that you have always been so talented. Of course it is important. ; However, diligence is the most beautiful quality for a young wizard."

"You are ridiculous, Professor Trocca." Matthew said quickly.

"Maybe." Professor Troca shrugged: "But to be honest, among the classes I teach, you are the student I value most. At this age, you are a young man who possesses both the beautiful qualities of talent and diligence. There aren’t many left.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Matthew with appreciative eyes.

"Let's continue discussing the petrification spell, professor." Matthew quickly changed the subject: "I want to know if the petrification spell can be effective on some humanoid magical creatures."

"In most cases, I'm afraid not." Professor Troca shook his head: "The vast majority of humanoid magical creatures are naturally resistant to magic; and the petrification spell, as the simplest protective spell, cannot Avoid these magic resistances, so under normal circumstances, the effect of using them will be relatively poor."

"For example, werewolves and centaurs." Professor Troca paused, then continued: "And vampires, etc."

"Are vampires also naturally resistant to magic?" Matthew asked curiously.

"Of course." Professor Troca explained: "Although it is not powerful, at least not as powerful as a werewolf, it does have a certain resistance, especially at night. This resistance will be stronger than during the day. Like It is almost impossible for a little wizard of your age to trap an adult vampire with a petrification spell."

As he spoke, Professor Trocca shook his head.

"Okay" Matthew curled his lips: "So Professor, how much do you know about vampires?"

Professor Trocca's face gradually became serious, and he said softly:

"I think the wizarding world may have a deep misunderstanding of vampires. Every vampire is actually a poor person who was once an ordinary Muggle or wizard. For them, when they were very young, they had to endure A torture that is unimaginable to ordinary people.”

"Is this your first embrace?" Matthew asked softly.

Upon hearing this word, Professor Trocca showed a look of disgust on his face.

He nodded: "Yes, a complex and sinful ritual that will forever impose a curse on a child, allowing him to live with the curse for his whole life."

"Wizards are afraid of this, so they are naturally afraid of vampires." Professor Trocca sighed: "Maybe it is better now, but before the beginning of this century, it can be said that wizards hunted vampires on a large scale. There are very few vampires, and most of them died tragically in the hunting operations of wizards."

"Indeed, some vampires are heinous. But the vast majority of vampires are just poor people trying to survive in this world."

"After the beginning of the century, the attitudes of wizards became more enlightened, and the living environment of vampires became better. They could finally live with wizards. However, they still suffered from discrimination and looked down upon, until the first time Before the Wizarding War, a wizard who killed a vampire without any reason only had to pay a fine of 100 Galleons."

"So Professor?" Matthew asked seriously:

"Are you a vampire?"

Professor Trocca was stunned, but soon, a sad smile appeared on his face.

"When did you find out?" He asked instead without answering.

"In Professor Rozier's first Defense Against the Dark Arts class, the content of that class was about vampires." Matthew answered honestly.

"This is quite normal." Professor Trocca replied calmly: "We are creatures of the night whose characteristics are too obvious. Smart people will notice them if they pay a little attention."

As he spoke, Professor Trocca glanced at Matthew with some deep meaning:

"So Matthew, since you know that I am a vampire, why do you dare to stay alone in a classroom with me?"

At the same time, he opened his mouth, revealing his bloody fangs, and his appearance looked very ferocious.

It's just that Matthew Wakefield doesn't care about it at all, and he's not afraid at all.

"My friends, Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle are all waiting for me in the auditorium, and they also know that you left me here." He replied calmly: "So, Professor, you can't Attack me here, right? Otherwise it would be too obvious."

"Yes." Professor Troca nodded and retracted his fangs: "No one would do such a stupid thing."

"Matthew, maybe if you have time now, listen to me tell a story."

"Of course, Professor"

That was a story that happened many years ago. In a village in Romania, there lived a crazy vampire.

That crazy vampire's greatest pleasure is to rob children from surrounding villages in the dark, bring them into its lair, and then assimilate those children with its first embrace. Even though every first embrace, the vampire itself has to endure a great deal of pain. The earth suffers and becomes extremely weak. But it never tires of it and vents like crazy.

Until one day, he kidnapped a ten-year-old little wizard. Then, the father of the little wizard came to the door angrily and killed the crazy vampire and the little vampires he had raised until the father Finally, it was discovered that his son had also received his first embrace and turned into a little vampire. "

The father couldn't accept all this, so he left and left the vampire's lair.

The poor little wizard, or little vampire, was wandering alone in the surrounding villages. He was very weak and unable to hunt; if it weren't for the early days after being first embraced, the vampire could still receive some sunlight and digest some ordinary food. , he might have died alone.

However, he was still dying.

Just as he was dying, a wizard found him.

The little vampire knew this wizard. In fact, every wizard family in Eastern and Central Europe knew this face.

He is too famous

Gellert Grindelwald

The little vampire was naturally aware of his deeds. He originally thought that Grindelwald was here to kill him.

However, Grindelwald did not do this.

Instead, he cut his own wrist and fed the fresh blood to the little vampire, saving the dying little vampire.

The little vampire didn't understand why Grindelwald did this.

Grindelwald told him that he was not a vampire, but a wizard.

Any wizard, no matter what he has endured, as long as he is a wizard, he will always be a wizard

Wizards are always equal

The wizard is always supreme

What a great man

The little vampire was rescued and then sent to Durmstrang; because the castle in the water hardly received any sunlight.

In that magic school, he was very smart, hard-working and at the same time very cautious.

But in fourth grade, his identity as a vampire was still discovered, and he was expelled from Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Fortunately, the little vampire now has the ability to survive in the wizarding world.

He wandered around Europe, surviving in magical villages.

And for many years after that, he never saw Grindelwald again.

Until

Professor Trocca's story ended before it was finished.

His voice was calm, without any resentment or sadness, as if he was just telling a story.

"Then" Matthew hesitated for a moment: "Can you listen to me tell a story, Professor Trocca?"

"Of course." Professor Troca nodded.

"A long time ago, Hogwarts hired a werewolf teacher," Matthew said softly.

"I don't remember Hogwarts ever having a werewolf teacher," Professor Troca retorted.

"This is just a story," Matthew said quickly:

"The werewolf teacher is the same as the little vampire in your story. He was bitten by a werewolf when he was young, and then was taken in by a great wizard, and eventually became an excellent wizard."

"At Hogwarts, his courses were very popular, and he himself was also very popular among the students. But in the end, he was fired from Hogwarts after less than a year."

Professor Trocca opened his mouth, but did not speak.

"Because someone might be dissatisfied with his other professors or ordinary students; the news that he was a werewolf was published in the newspapers, and Hogwarts had to expel him in the end."

Matthew smiled:

"This is the story I made up. The professor is simpler, that's all."

Matthew's story seemed to have touched Professor Trocca a little.

"Is there anything else you want to tell me?" Then Matthew looked into Professor Trocca's eyes: "You shouldn't just keep me here just to tell stories."

Soon, Professor Troca returned to his usual appearance. He said in a low voice, "No, I'm warning you to be careful. Hogwarts is very dangerous recently."

He originally thought that Matthew Wakefield would show great fear about this, but he did not expect that the expression on Matthew's face remained calm.

"Aren't you scared?" he asked in a deep voice.

"Principal Grindelwald has assured us that Hogwarts is safe," Matthew said nonchalantly.

Professor Trocca was stunned, and then he smiled: "But you still have to be careful."

"Well, I know." Matthew nodded: "Thank you, professor"

"You're welcome, don't leave the common room casually, don't walk alone in the corridor, and don't be alone with others easily," Professor Trocca said very patiently.

"I remember" Matthew replied:

"But can I ask another question?"

Professor Trocca stood up: "So, do you have any questions, Matthew?"

"Professor Troca" Matthew Wakefield seemed to hesitate for a moment, but finally he spoke:

“Would you rather drink animal blood or human blood?”

"What a bold question." Professor Trocca glanced at Matthew with interest.

Matthew waved his hand: "If this question involves you, you don't have to answer it."

"There used to be many of my kind who thought human blood, especially wizard's blood, was more delicious. But in the end, they all died." Professor Trocca ultimately did not answer this question head-on.

Matthew wanted to ask a few more questions, but it seemed that he had no chance.

There was only a "bang" sound, and the classroom door was pushed open.

Hermione Granger stood panting at the door, holding in her hand the Head of Ravenclaw, Professor Flitwick, who was a head shorter than her.

"Granger" Professor Flitwick was also panting: "This is the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, why did you bring me here?"

"Sorry, Professor," Hermione apologized quickly, "I'm so sorry, I took the wrong route."

The situation outside seemed to be a little embarrassing.

In the Defense Against Dark Arts classroom, the situation between the teacher and the student also became a bit awkward.

"It seems Matthew, our Q&A is coming to an end." Professor Trocca said first, "Thank you for that little story."

After saying that, he waved his hand and issued the order to expel the guests.

Matthew walked out of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom with some regret.

In fact, he had one last question that he had not asked Professor Trocca.

That is

"Ronald Weasley, how does his blood taste?"
