Professor The Vampire Earl of Hogwarts

Two ten minutes ago, in the principal's office on the eighth floor of the main tower.

"Severus, are you suspecting that Professor Dracula ordered Quirrell to steal the Philosopher's Stone?" Dumbledore asked with interest, chewing on a Honeydukes fudge.

"Yes, among so many professors at Hogwarts, only Dracula is new, and even Quirrell has taught Muggle studies for a long time at Hogwarts. So, We don't know anything about him." Snape said seriously, "What's more, just before the start of school, I had a short spiritual collision with Dracula at the entrance of the auditorium, and I could feel his strength. So I'm pretty sure he has the ability to steal the Philosopher's Stone!"

"You watched carefully, Severus." Dumbledore nodded with a smile, and handed Snape a candy by the way.

"No, you'd better keep these things for yourself." Snape said indifferently.

Dumbledore didn't care, stuffed the sugar into his mouth again, and said vaguely:

"Severus, about Professor Dracula, I can only tell you one thing - he has no motive to steal the Philosopher's Stone, and he is worthy of our absolute trust, just rest assured."

"But I saw Quirrell enter the restricted area on the fourth floor with my own eyes!" Snape said unwillingly, "If it wasn't Dracula's instigation, could it be Quirrell, a coward who couldn't even understand, wanted to Stealing the Philosopher's Stone from under the noses of the strongest wizard?"

Dumbledore stood up, walked around the desk in front of him, and came to Snape's side.

"Sometimes we can't just take things on the surface, Severus." He said to Snape, "What if Quirrell came to Hogwarts for the Philosopher's Stone? Act like a coward and put everyone's guard on him."

Snape frowned tightly, turned to Dumbledore and asked:

"Have you confirmed that Quirrell is the one who coveted the Philosopher's Stone? If that's the case, why didn't you just kick him out of the school?"

Dumbledore shook his head, sighed deeply, and said: "There is only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to guard against a thief? The best way is never to drive Quirrell out of school, but to completely solve it." This hidden danger."

"Severus, you know, I told you - the Dark Lord will return, and by then Harry Potter will be in dire danger."

Listening to Dumbledore's words, Snape's pupils gradually dilated, and his face became very pale.

"what do you mean……"

"That's right, Quirrell has been controlled by the Dark Lord. He came to Hogwarts to help his master steal the Philosopher's Stone."

Dumbledore stared intently at Snape.

"Then shouldn't we drive Quirrell out of the school? The Dark Lord will bring danger to this school!" Snape questioned.Immediately, his eyes widened again, "You want to use the Sorcerer's Stone as bait to lure the Dark Lord into the bait? So you let us make the level so simple, so who can go in and stop him? Potter, right?! "

Snape took a step forward, staring intently into Dumbledore's piercing eyes behind his spectacles.

"Are you worried about the child?" Dumbledore asked.

"I didn't!" Snape snapped. "He's just as mediocre, arrogant, disobedient, showy, attention-getting, and disrespectful as his father! How could I worry about such a nasty brat? "

"You saw what you expected to see, Severus." Dumbledore chuckled. "But you've done a pretty good job before, haven't you? Casting counterspells at Quidditch .”

A moment of embarrassment appeared on Snape's face, and then his expression became indifferent.

"Tell me, what should I do?"

"Fight with Professor Dracula, and use your suspicion of him as an excuse." Dumbledore said softly.

"Professor Dracula's behavior during this period has already forged a great enmity with the Dark Lord. The worse your relationship with Professor Dracula is, the easier it will be for you to return to the Dark Lord's team for undercover work in the future. trust……"

……

Snape walked towards the door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom while recalling what happened in the principal's office in his mind.

With a "squeak", the door opened first.

A tall, lanky elderly witch appeared at the door, followed by a large group of professors of various subjects.

"Okay, that's great! I really didn't expect that two professors would fight privately in our classroom?!" Professor McGonagall tightly pursed his lips, his chest heaved and heaved quickly, looking very angry, " Do you know that the sound of your fight can be heard throughout the castle! What kind of example are you trying to set for the students? Are you encouraging them to duel in private?!"

She waved her wand heavily as if venting, and lit the oil lamps and candles in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, and the classroom instantly became brightly lit.

The next moment, Professor McGonagall saw the shattered desks and chairs in the classroom, and she suddenly became even more angry, almost out of breath.

"Both of you will be sentenced to probation! If you don't perform well within a year, I will definitely expel you, even the dean!" Professor McGonagall clenched his fists and said angrily Dracula and Snape reprimanded loudly.

Snape shrugged indifferently, as if he didn't care about the punishment of detention.

He just glanced at Quirrell who was huddled in the corner of the crowd of professors out of the corner of his eye, and saw that he was indeed looking in this direction, so he pretended to cast a resentful look at Dracula, acting like The two of them seemed to have a mortal hatred.

Dracula felt a little puzzled by Snape's malicious eyes, but he was never willing to suffer, so he also stared back viciously.

Seeing the two staring at each other, Quirrell secretly took out a blank diary and wrote a line on it with a quill:

"The relationship between Dracula and Professor Snape is extremely bad!"

……

After staring back at Snape, Dracula said indifferently: "I'm sorry, Professor McGonagall. I have objections to this probation, and I need to appeal to the principal."

Professor McGonagall and Dracula came to the principal's office together.

Dumbledore was flipping through a copy of "Transfiguration Today", listening to Professor McGonagall telling him about Dracula's "crimes" without looking up.

"This... Minerva, for the sake of Professor Dracula's first mistake, why not punish him?" Dumbledore raised his head helplessly when he heard Dracula's name. .

It's not that he doesn't respect Professor McGonagall's opinion, it's simply because Dracula controls the Hogwarts title deed...
