Professor The Vampire Earl of Hogwarts

Gilderoy Lockhart was in a good mood.

Once again, he was selected by "Witch Weekly" as the most charming smile award, published on the cover of this magazine with a wide audience.

To celebrate the good news, or rather, to use it to create a wave of heat, Lockhart decided to hold a tea party at Mrs. Puddiffe's Tea House in Hogsmeade Village to talk face-to-face with his loyal fans.

The storefront of Mrs. Puddiffe's Tea House is on a street corner in Hogsmeade.

The owner of the teahouse is Mrs. Puddiffe, who has the same name as the teahouse.She hangs strange ornaments on the window outside the teahouse, most of them are very tender and tender pink, just like the favorite color of little girls in the cardamom age.

The inside of the teahouse is small and cramped, and the steam from the tea makes it look foggy, and almost all the furnishings are decorated with tacky lace.

At this time, the students of Hogwarts were already on vacation, and few young wizards appeared in the Hogsmeade village.Therefore, most of the people in the teahouse came here specially to attend the tea party, and they were all free and energetic housewives and older witches.

At this time, groups of witches were already sitting in the small shop, and they looked expectantly at the small stage specially vacated in front of the teahouse.

"My dear family, how are you!"

With a loud voice, a wizard dressed like a peacock came out from behind the curtain of the teahouse.

Gilderoy Lockhart looks handsome from the outside.

He has wavy blond hair, teeth that are so white that they glisten, and the robe on his body is extremely gorgeous, covered with intricate and extravagant patterns, it looks like a peacock with its tail open.

Lockhart walked onto the stage holding a golden microphone, and warmly greeted everyone in the teahouse.

Immediately there were screams in Mrs. Puddife's teahouse. The witches shouted Lockhart's name, and moved their small benches, desperately trying to move forward.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, I deliberately leave enough free time to interact closely with fans!" Lockhart showed his signature smile, his clean and even teeth glistening, "Don't worry, I will be happy with you." Every fan is treated equally, anyone can get my autograph, and..."

"A hug!"

The witches in the audience became even more excited, and one even fainted from excitement.

Lockhart seemed to be prepared for this situation, and he waved his hand towards the inside of the teahouse counter.The owner of the teahouse waiting next to her, Mrs. Puddife, who was obese and had a shiny black bun behind her hair, immediately held a cup of herbal tea and squeezed through the crowd towards the fainted witch with difficulty.

This small episode did not affect Lockhart's interest at all. He walked onto a small specially built stage and stood surrounded by many candles.

"First of all, although everyone must know me, I still need to introduce myself routinely." He said with a smile.

"I, Gilderoy Lockhart, third class owner of the Order of Merlin, honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts League, just a few days ago won the "Witch Weekly"'s most charming smile award for the fifth time - of course, I I won't talk about this award, I didn't drive away the banshee in Wanlun City with a smile!"

There was warm applause from the audience, and the hands of the witches were about to slap red.

"Very well, I see that everyone has already taken my complete set of works—then I will check how well the family members understand these works of mine..."

"...First of all, in my book "Traveling with the Vampire", what kind of food did the vampire become obsessed with after meeting me? Please raise your hand and answer."

Almost all the witches raised their hands. Even the witch who was so excited that she fainted just now regained some energy after drinking the herbal tea made by Mrs. Puddiffe, and raised her right hand high.

"Okay, it's just you, beautiful lady." Lockhart picked out a middle-aged witch with fiery red hair, a little pudgy, and a gentle and kind appearance.

"What's your name?" he asked.

The witch couldn't believe that she was picked, and covered her face like a shy little girl.

"Molly, Molly Weiss, Mr. Lockhart." She stood up and said excitedly, "The answer to that question just now is lettuce!"

"Very good! Perfect answer!" Lockhart smiled and took out a bright pink rose from his pocket and handed it to Mrs. Wesley, "This is your gift, thank you very much for reading my letter carefully." writing."

Mrs. Weasley took the pink rose with a smile on her face.Envious looks appeared in the eyes of the other witches.

In the midst of the commotion, a pleasant voice suddenly sounded from the window, breaking the chaos.

"So...why does that vampire eat lettuce?"

Lockhart froze for a moment, then looked at the window of Madam Puddife's teahouse, and found that the originally closed window had been opened at some point.

A silver-haired figure sat on the windowsill.He was standing on the window frame with one foot, and the other foot was drooping casually, holding an open copy of "Traveling with Vampires" in his hand.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he attracted the attention of most of the witches present.

The witches looked curiously at the handsome man who appeared suddenly, and secretly compared him with Lockhart, feeling that after the comparison... Lockhart doesn't seem as handsome as before, does he?

"Mrs. Puddiffe, why is there a wizard here?" Looking at the sudden appearance, Lockhart was a little unhappy, and asked Mrs. Puddiffe with a straight face, "Didn't I say that? You must take my A full set of collector's edition books and a limited number of invitations are required to let people in, how do you do security work in your teahouse?"

Seeing that this business was about to receive bad reviews, Mrs. Puddife hurriedly squeezed from the crowd towards the window, preparing to drive the unexpected guest away.

At this moment, Mrs. Weasley, who had just received the pink rose, suddenly let out an "oops".

"You must be Professor Dracula, right?" She squeezed to the window first, and greeted Dracula enthusiastically, "Silver hair, wine red eyes, extremely handsome... You must be right!"

"You are..." Dracula looked at Mrs. Wesley's fiery red hair, and thought of her surname, and suddenly felt a little strange... It can't be such a coincidence, is it another Wesley?

"I'm Percy, Fred, George and Ron's mother!" Mrs. Weasley said happily, "The boys in my family talk about you all the time, especially Fred and George Brat, say you're the best Defense Against the Dark Arts professor they've ever seen!"

"Have you forgotten, you asked me and my husband to send that crystal ball to Romania!"

"Ah, that's right! Thank you very much for your help!" Dracula was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

He almost forgot about it, and Mrs. Wesley only managed to remember it after she mentioned it.

In this way, if Wes hadn't asked the parents of the twins to help send the crystal ball to Brown Castle, he would not have received any information from there now, and he would not have nothing to do with Loha. It's a special tea party.

Mrs. Weasley expressed her gratitude to Dracula warmly and cheerfully, thanking him for taking care of her sons at school, and introduced Lockhart, the so-called Defense Against the Dark Arts expert, to him. The two must have a lot in common.

On the other side of the Paddife Teahouse, after Lockhart learned that Dracula was the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, he was not in a hurry to drive him away. Instead, he rolled his eyes and thought came up with a better plan.

He walked to the side of the stage and explained to the photographer who was taking pictures and the reporter who was recording the scene:

"See that Hogwarts professor over there? I'll go over to take a photo with him in a while. The content of your newspaper can be written like this-shocking! The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, actually Also a fan of Gilderoy Lockhart, a famous defense master, member of the Anti-Dark Arts League, famous author!"

After saying these words, Lockhart still felt a little uneasy when he thought of Dracula's handsome face, and repeatedly asked the photographer:

"Remember, when you take a group photo later, you must not take the professor's face! Put my 'most beautiful smile' in the center of the picture, and find him a small place in the corner."

The cameraman made an "ok" gesture.

Only then was Lockhart relieved, showing a smile that he thought was very appropriate, and walked to the window where Dracula was.

"Ah, Professor Dracula, I have known you for a long time!" He said exaggeratedly.

At the same time, he graciously extended a hand to Dracula, then gave the camera position a smile that he thought was perfect.

However, Dracula frowned in disgust, and had no intention of shaking hands with Lockhart at all.He smelled a strong perfume on Lockhart that was not inferior to Quirrell, even better!This smell is unacceptable to the vampire's sensitive sense of smell.

After the incident of stealing the Philosopher's Stone was over, everyone knew about Quirrell.

He sprayed himself with perfume just to cover up the rotten smell caused by Voldemort's parasitism. He was not the kidney-deficient and wretched man that the students always thought he was.

However, Lockhart in front of him was full of energy and emotions, and it was obvious that he was not entangled in any black magic.

Then when such a person sprays such a strong perfume on his body, it is hard not to make people wonder if he has any other physical problems...

"Katsa" sound.

The photographer took a precious image——

The famous writer Gilderoy Lockhart stretched out a hand and smiled awkwardly at the camera, while the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor next to him crossed his arms and looked out of the window with a look of disgust.

"Ahem, I didn't ask you to take pictures like this!" Lockhart coughed dryly, and shouted anxiously to the photographer on the other side, "This photo will be destroyed immediately, do you hear me?!"

After saying this, in order to avoid the next embarrassment, he thought of another way.

Lockhart grabbed the book "Traveling with the Vampire" that Dracula had just casually placed on the window sill, then took out a green peacock quill from his breast pocket, and signed the title page of the book smartly. Write down your name.

He is going to let the newspaper name it like this when the time comes——

"Quick look! Well-known author and Defense Against the Dark Arts expert Gilderoy Lockhart signed the Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's autograph!"

After signing his name, Lockhart handed the book back to Dracula quite complacently.

"Professor Dracula, I found that you are so fascinated by reading my book just now! Presumably you are also my fan?" He said with a smile, "I am the most favorite fan, what else? If other books need to be signed, they can be taken out at any time, and I am happy to serve you!"

Dracula ignored him, but took the book and looked at the title page.

Lockhart's handwriting is quite good, very demeanor of a well-known writer.

So Dracula nodded in satisfaction, and handed the book "Traveling with Vampires" to Mrs. Wesley.

"Mrs. Weasley, could you please bring this book to your son Ron Weiss?" He said, "This is the book of his friend Hermione Granger, I borrowed it some time ago I looked at it and forgot to return it to her."

"No problem!" Mrs. Wesley readily agreed, and put the book into the vegetable basket on her arm.

There was not only this book in the shopping basket, but also a whole set of Lockhart's rare edition books, which made Lockhart feel heartbroken.

Of course, the actions of a fan didn't matter to Lockhart.He quickly turned his attention back to Dracula.

Lockhart had figured out that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor didn't seem to be bothering with him.

But he was not discouraged. As a well-known person who has been famous for many years, he has experienced many battles in the thick-skinned world, and he quickly found another way based on his past experience.

He went straight to the podium and picked up the microphone.

"I hope the little episode just now didn't disturb everyone's interest." Lockhart showed a big smile and said to the witches in the audience.

"This is the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor from Hogwarts, Professor Dracula! He has admired me for a long time. After learning that I held a tea party here, he made a special trip to Hogsmeade to ask for my autograph. I I hope everyone can give him a little applause, okay?"

There was a round of applause from the audience.

Amid the applause, the middle-aged witches looked back and forth at the faces of Dracula and Lockhart, admiring the two handsome wizards with relish, feeling that they had never seen such a pleasing picture.

"Everyone knows that I am the third class owner of the Order of Merlin, an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts League, and a well-known expert in defense against the dark arts." Seeing the performance of the audience, Lockhart began his speech, hoping to make the stage The next attention is drawn to himself.

"Just a few days ago, I won the most attractive smile award from "Witch Weekly" for the fifth time. Ah, let's not mention this one. All my honors have nothing to do with my handsomeness. I don't rely on my smile. Resist the Dark Arts."

"Actually, to tell you the truth, I have always wanted to apply for the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts. Because as far as I know, the previous professors of Defense Against the Dark Arts had accidents and could not continue to serve in the second year. professorship."

"I think, if I were to become a professor, I would definitely break this rule and save more colleagues in this position!"

A compassionate expression appeared on Lockhart's face at the right time, causing the witches to wipe away their tears.

"Professor Dracula must have read many of my works, so he endured the experience of being a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts and persisted until the next year! And I will definitely not be stingy with my experience, and even more Sincerely answer the professor's confusion and contribute a lot to the future of this position!"

There was warm applause in the Puddifu Teahouse.

Dracula leaned against the wall, watching Lockhart's shameless performance with interest.

Can such a flamboyant, conceited, and extremely stupid man really survive so many adventures in his book?Dracula didn't quite believe it, so he became interested in how Lockhart made up these detailed and complete experiences.

He took a step forward, and before anyone else noticed, he had passed through the crowd and appeared beside Lockhart.

"Since you are willing to sincerely answer my questions, please answer my question first—"

"That vampire who's traveling with you...why is he eating lettuce?"

Upon hearing this question, Lockhart's smile instantly froze on his face.

"Ah... ah, this..." He stumbled and organized his words for a long time before he came up with an answer, "That's right, that evil vampire was overwhelmed by my personality charm, after my persuasion, he changed his mind." I gave up the bad habit of sucking human blood and ate lettuce instead!"

The further he spoke, the more confident he spoke, and he even convinced himself in the end.

Dracula shook his head helplessly.

Don't talk about answering doubts, I'm afraid this well-known writer has even forgotten everything in his book.

In "Traveling with the Vampire", the protagonist's personality charm is rarely mentioned, and even if it is mentioned occasionally, it seems to be superfluous and deliberately done.Also, just based on the book's attitude towards vampires makes a big difference.

In that book, even though the protagonist and the vampire traveling on the same boat had some misunderstandings at the beginning, by the middle and late stages of the book, the two had formed a deep friendship, and the protagonist even had a faint admiration for the vampire.

However, just now Lockhart called the vampire in the book "evil", an adjective that completely contradicts the theme of the whole book.

"Mr. Lockhart, do you need to read your book again before answering my question?" Dracula was about to give Lockhart another chance.

"Of course not, my answer is the correct answer." Lockhart was completely unaware of the danger, and said confidently, "Professor Dracula, believe that I am not wrong!"

"Okay." Dracula shrugged, "If that's the case, then please come with me."

He snapped his fingers lightly, and the two disappeared instantly.

……

That night, on the front page news of the "Daily Prophet", the headline in bold font attracted the attention of wizards from all walks of life——

The wizard was silent, the witch was in tears, and the famous writer was abducted by the Hogwarts professor in public, and his whereabouts are unknown!
