Professor The Vampire Earl of Hogwarts

The sudden muffled sound surprised the professors.

"Has Hogwarts been attacked? Have Death Eaters attacked?!" Compared to the astonishment of the professors, the little wizards in the audience were shocked.

Soon, the entire auditorium was in chaos.

Professor McGonagall, who was holding a brand new sorting hat in his hand, sank and shouted:

"quiet--"

The auditorium gradually became quiet.The freshmen stood on one side of the auditorium in fear and anxiety, not knowing what was going on.

"There is no problem with Hogwarts Castle right now, so you don't need to panic. The sorting ceremony is going on normally." Professor McGonagall spoke to calm the emotions of the little wizards, and at the same time turned around and gave Dumbledore a wink.

Dumbledore smiled knowingly, turned to look at Snape, and said to him, "Severus, may I trouble you to see what's going on outside?"

Snape nodded, and when he was about to stand up, Dracula stood up before him.

"I'll go." Dracula said happily, "It's not interesting to watch the sorting ceremony for the second time. Maybe you can find some other fun when you go out to see the situation."

Before Dumbledore could react, he drank the wine in the goblet, straightened his robes, and jumped off the platform of the professor's seat.

"I'm with you." Snape also followed closely, stepped off the professor's seat, and walked to the door of the auditorium together with Dracula.

Dracula glanced at Snape, noticing that his eyes had been focused on the Gryffindor table, scanning back and forth.

"Professor Snape seems to be very concerned about Gryffindor?" Dracula asked with a chuckle.

"No." Snape said, looking away silently, gritting his teeth as if he was speaking between his teeth, "I just have some opinions on the house that snatched the Slytherin House Cup."

Dracula looked with great interest at the place where Snape's gaze had stayed the longest before — that was Hermione Granger with a flustered and anxious expression, and the two places beside her were empty.

Immediately, he thought of the abnormal behavior of Fred and George, and a gleam of clarity appeared in his eyes.

"Have Harry Potter and Ronald Weiss come yet?" Dracula couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth thoughtfully, "Things seem to be getting more interesting."

He quickened his pace, passed Snape as if flying close to the ground, and flew towards the direction where the muffled sound came from before.

Seeing Dracula, who was so fast and didn't wait for him to take a step, the corner of Snape's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help speeding up his pace.

His broad cloak swung behind him like a giant bat.

……

Dracula saw a dancing willow tree in the distance.

It was a Whomping Willow that had been planted at Hogwarts for decades.

At this time, the Whomping Willow kept waving its thick or slender branches, rounding the branches and pulling them towards a dilapidated car full of holes——

Countless twigs as thick as finger knuckles slammed violently like hailstones on the front window of the car, shaking the windshield. A twig as thick as a battering ram was frantically pounding on the roof of the car. A few dexterous willow leaves stuck into the broken window of the car, trying to beat the two little wizards sitting inside.

"This tree hits people so hard, let's run!" Ron in the car shouted, pushing the door with all his strength.

But just then, a branch came in through the shattered car window at a tricky angle, and gave him a vicious uppercut that knocked him over Harry's lap.

Ron was stunned, and stared blankly at the roof of the car gradually collapsing under the attack of thick branches like a battering ram.

"We're done!" he moaned, looking at the roof.

At the critical moment, the underside of the old Ford suddenly vibrated—the engine restarted.

"Quick, reverse the car!" Seeing this, Harry shouted with hope rekindled in his heart.

The car "whoosh" backed up.

The tree wanted to continue beating them, and desperately pulled its branches towards the fleeing car.It bent over so hard that the longest branches could reach the old Ford, almost tearing the trunk apart, and the roots creaked.

"Merlin, that's awesome!" After leaving the range of the Whomping Willow, Ron panted and said while lying on Harry's lap, "Good job, car."

But the old Ford seemed to be at its limit with Harry and Ron in it.With two sounds of "Peng Peng", the door suddenly popped open.

Then, the seat also tilted sideways, "kicking" Harry and Ron out, leaving them on the wet ground.

After the other two heavy bangs fell, the luggage of the two followed suit and were thrown out of the trunk by the car.

What is quite humane is that Hedwig's cage was not thrown directly on the ground, but was thrown into the air—driven by inertia, the cage door was opened, and Hedwig flew out.

It screamed angrily, and flew towards the castle without looking back.

With all this done, the old Ford, battered and pitted, with a roof nearly sunken into the seats, steamed and rumbled into the darkness, with only the taillights angrily glowing with.

"No, you can't go!" Ron opened his eyes wide, hurriedly waved the broken wand that he had just broken in a car accident, and shouted loudly from behind, "Come back soon! Dad will kill me if he loses the car!"

After Ron's words fell, the car really didn't move.

The light of the taillight gradually became larger and brighter, and its position gradually approached Ron's side.

"Yes, yes, that's it, come back to me." Ron said with a sigh of relief, satisfied.

"Ron, there seems to be something wrong with the car." Harry said next to Ron, carrying his suitcase in embarrassment.

I saw the old Ford car suspended in the air, the tail lights were still flashing angrily, the wheels were spinning rapidly, the invisible booster was blowing the soft grass behind, and Harry and Ron's hair was blowing in the wind swaying incessantly.

"It seems...struggling?" Ron looked at the performance of the car and said uncertainly.

"It should be right." Harry nodded, "Can't it disobey the master's order and only follow your orders and come back?"

"Stop kidding, Harry," said Ron, "my dad owns the car."

Even though the car was struggling hard, it still stopped in front of Harry and Ron who were stunned.

As if realizing that he couldn’t get free, the old Ford simply gave up struggling, turned off the ignition and lights, and fell to the ground as if resigned to his fate. The shaking doors, trunk and hood made a "bang" sound.

"Inbreasting—"

Harry and Ron were startled by a voice suddenly behind them.

Harry turned his head stiffly, looked at the figure standing in the darkness, almost blending into the night, and saw a pair of eyes shining with wine red light.

Seeing those eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Professor Dracula, you are going to scare us to death..."

Dracula ignored them, just looked at the bruised old Ford car with interest, his eyes were bright.

"Is this Mr. Weasley's modified car?" he asked Ron.

"Ah... that's right!" Ron was stunned for a moment, and then replied nervously, "It...is there something wrong with it." "No problem, it's fine now." Dracula laughed .

Harry and Ron glanced at the battered and devastated old Ford, and then at Dracula's expression of interest, with a look of "I don't read much, so don't lie to me".

"Really, I didn't lie to you. The condition of this car has never been better." Dracula stepped forward and patted the hood of the old Ford, and there was a sound of clanging and falling parts in the car.

Harry and Ron looked at each other, feeling that Professor Dracula's idea was really...unusual.

"It's amazing. Such a simple magical transformation of a car can produce a faint consciousness by accident." Dracula was still looking back and forth at the old Ford car.

"Do you feel dissatisfied that I brought you back?" he asked old Ford.

"Is there something wrong with the professor's mind?" Ron secretly looked at Harry and asked in a very small voice.

Harry nodded in agreement, with a worried look on his face, "It's over, even a wizard as powerful as Professor Dracula has a brain problem, this world is too scary."

However, when the two were talking in low voices, the old Ford's headlights suddenly turned on, as if responding to Dracula's question.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you." Dracula chuckled, "Such a rare intelligent body... Well, even if there is only a little instinctive reaction, it is not easy."

He reached out from the hood, stroked the roof, windows, trunk of the old Ford...

Whenever he touches a part of the vehicle, the dented, scratched, and tattered shell of that position will be repaired automatically. Gradually, the old Ford car is like a new car.

"I can't figure out how your weak consciousness was formed, so I didn't repair your internal parts." Dracula continued, "If you still want to repair the internal parts, just turn on the car lights twice? "

The lights of the old Ford flickered.

Just a blink means that repairing the exterior is enough.

"Very well, then I will leave a mark on you that allows me to determine the location, and then let you go." Dracula said, "If it is acceptable, turn on the lights."

The old Ford's lights flickered again.

"Very sensible." Dracula nodded in satisfaction, and stretched out his hand to draw a mark of demon wings on the inside of the car.

After the mark was formed, a red light appeared, and then disappeared in the car.

"Okay, you can go." Dracula patted the car window that had been restored, and chuckled, "I will go over to check on your condition from time to time, and remember not to avoid me when the time comes."

Hearing these words, the old Ford started the engine with a "hum" sound, turned on the headlights, and flew high with a whoosh.

It turned around to face Dracula and wobbled its nose as if to nod to him.

Then, it galloped towards the Forbidden Forest without looking back, its bright tail lights disappearing into the night.

Harry and Ron looked at the passing car with blank eyes. They didn't know how to understand the conversation between Professor Dracula and the car. They just felt that even in the wizarding world, this incident was too magical...

It wasn't until he could no longer see the tail lights of the car that Ron suddenly woke up like a dream.

"Professor, you can't let it go!" he yelled. "My dad will kill me if he finds out I lost the car!"

"You're his son, he won't kill you." Dracula glanced at Ron, and said casually, "At most he will beat you up, and it's possible to beat you half to death."

Ron's face fell.

"It's over...the car is gone, what should I do..." he said absent-mindedly.

"Professor, can you think of a way... just let Ron's car go away like this?" Harry hesitated for a long time before asking.

"Didn't you see it just now? This car has a little bit of consciousness made by your series of operations. I want to observe it for a while." Dracula shrugged.

Then he thought about it, and it didn't seem appropriate to just let go of other people's property, so he added: "Forget it, I'll cover the loss of your family. Tell me the address, and a new car will be sent there tomorrow."

Ron suddenly recovered from his distraught appearance, and asked, "Is what you said true, Professor?"

After getting an affirmative answer, Ron jumped up in surprise, and quickly reported the address of the Burrow to Dracula, thinking that he would be able to escape the punishment at home.

Dracula noted down the location of the Burrow, and then he finally looked straight at Harry and Ron.

"Now that the car matter is settled, should you explain other things to me?" Dracula asked with a sneer, "Why don't you two take the Hogwarts Express back to school, but Did you drive here by yourself?"

"Could it be that you feel that taking the school bus is not exciting enough, and want to find a more interesting way of transportation?"

Speaking of "exciting" and "interesting", Dracula's cold expression suddenly changed, and his eyes lit up.

Harry looked at Professor Dracula's suddenly interested expression with trepidation.He could swear that when Professor Dracula sent a new car to the Weiss family, he absolutely wanted to buy one for himself!

Ron also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After a year of getting to know each other, the students at Hogwarts basically knew that as long as Professor Dracula showed interest, he would become very easy to get along with.

"It seems that the level of Professor Dracula is over." Harry and Ron looked at each other with relieved expressions.

However, things didn't go as they wanted, and the second they breathed a sigh of relief, another sticky, greasy voice sounded behind the two of them——

"It's been a long time, the famous Harry Potter, and his good friend Wes."

Harry and Ron turned their heads stiffly to see a large hooked nose and greasy hair draped over the man's shoulders.

Snape seemed a little out of breath. It took him quite a while to get from the auditorium on the southwest side of the castle to the Whomping Willow in the northeast.

But even though he was panting heavily, the malicious smile on his face still told Harry that he and Ron were in a very bad situation!

"Good evening, Professor Snape." Harry greeted Snape with a smile uglier than crying.

"It's not a good night, Potter." Snape said coldly. "I see that the very precious Whomping Willow in the school seems to have suffered a lot of damage."

"That tree did us more damage than we did it..." Ron blurted out.

"Quiet!" Snape snapped.

"You two come with me." He looked at the boxes in their hands, and his mood became cheerful again, "It's a pity, you are not students of my college, I have no right to make the decision to expel you, otherwise I will definitely directly Kick you out of school so you don't even have to pack your luggage."

Harry and Ron looked pitifully at Dracula for help.

However, Dracula seemed to be interested in the Whomping Willow again at this time. He stood under the willow tree with many broken branches and looked at this violent plant, completely ignoring the gazes of the two.

They found that the Whomping Willow, which was extremely irritable, behaved like a harmless weeping willow in front of Professor Dracula, allowing him to stand beside the tree trunk and stroke its broken willow branches.

"What are you two still standing there for?" Snape urged.

Seeing that Professor Dracula had no idea of ​​saving them, Harry and Ron followed Snape's footsteps dejectedly and walked towards Hogwarts Castle.
