Chapter 44 Remote Connection
"Hagrid, why don't you tell us about Nico Flamel and Dumbledore to save us the trouble?"
At the door of the auditorium, Harry began to trick Hagrid, hoping to learn directly from him who Nico Flamel was and what Dumbledore had hidden for him.
After all, with Hermione back home for Christmas, Harry was quite self-aware of his and Ron's two students' ability to check information.
"We have read at least a hundred books, but we haven't even found his shadow. Just give us a little hint. I know that I have seen his name somewhere!" Harry said.
"I won't say anything." Hagrid covered his mouth and said dryly, "I promised Dumbledore that I will keep it secret."
At this moment, a silver-haired figure shaking a red wine glass happened to pass by. He walked to the entrance courtyard corridor where a few people were and looked at them curiously.
When they saw the person coming, Harry, Ron and Hagrid were instantly excited.
"Good evening, Professor Dracula!" they said in unison.
"Good evening, Hagrid, Potter and Weasley." Dracula took a sip of the bright red wine, nodded slightly to the people present, and then asked with interest, "I think I heard you
Discussing Nico Flamel?"
"Professor Dracula, do you know Nicol Flamel?" Harry's eyes lit up and he quickly asked Dracula, "Hagrid said he would keep it secret and never tell us anything about Nicol Flamel.
But we have obviously seen this name before, we just can’t remember it!”
"Hagrid, Dumbledore really believes that you will keep your mouth shut." Dracula looked at Hagrid as if he couldn't help laughing, and consoled him.
Hagrid was still covering his mouth and muttered with gratitude: "Professor Dracula, I'm really happy that you can say that."
"Yes, the bottle being opened is not the problem of the bottle, but the fault of the bottle opener. Don't be too sad even if you leak something."
As he spoke, Dracula drank the bright red wine in the glass in one gulp, then placed the goblet suspended in the air, and took out a bottle of elegant red wine from his pocket. Twisting it with his index finger, "
With a pop, the cork at the mouth of the bottle popped out.
Dracula refilled himself a glass of bright red wine, then raised his eyes to look at Hagrid.
At this time, Hagrid looked at the cork that Dracula had put back into the mouth of the red wine bottle, and thought of the tight-lippedness and corkscrew he just mentioned, and couldn't help crying sadly.
"Professor, isn't it appropriate to provoke Hagrid like this..." Harry quietly walked up to Dracula and whispered to him.
Ron, on the other hand, watched Hagrid cover his big face in a dirty handkerchief, and couldn't help but take a step back, distancing himself from the terrifying Professor Dracula.
"Don't worry, Hagrid will be strong." Ignoring Ron's little move, Dracula said to Harry, "By the way, what are you doing with Nico Flamel?"
"I...we..." Harry didn't know what to say for a moment.
What they knew about the three-headed dog and the restricted area on the fourth floor was basically all learned during the process of violating school rules. How could Harry tell a professor about these things?
However, Dracula didn't seem to care about the reason at all. Before Harry could explain the reason, he asked with 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 cute little creature in the first level?"
"What? Hagrid's little 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 pulled away from him, couldn't help but scream, and sneaked back to Harry, looking at Hagrid with inquiring eyes.
"So Hermione is right, is that scary big dog really guarding something under the trap door?" Ron asked, "It's the one Nico Remetto and Dumbledore is helping guard.
thing?"
"What a scary big dog? That's Lu Wei! He's very good and doesn't bite." Hearing Ron's description, Hagrid was unhappy.
Harry and Ron stood side by side, looking at him suspiciously.
"Hey, what are you looking at? I'm telling the truth!" Hagrid said loudly, "And Nico Flamel's things have nothing to do with you. Stop looking for them. Why can't you put your exuberant things away?"
Why should all your energy be spent on studying?”
Dracula was sipping red wine and watching the interesting performances of the three Harrys. He felt like 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 to Dracula for help, "I don't quite understand why you want to
Tell them about Lu Wei? I'm really afraid that I'll leak something again..."
"It's okay, Hagrid." Dracula chuckled and raised his glass to Hagrid, "It doesn't matter if you really leaked something, everything is still within Dumbledore's plan!"
"But I'm not sure whether I will delay Dumbledore's plan..." Hagrid muttered softly.
Looking at Harry and Ron's hopeful gazes, Dracula thought for a moment, put the goblet in the air again, and then took out a bronze mirror engraved with a phoenix relief from his pocket.
"You two, if you want to know who Nico Flamel is, then come with me." He played with the bronze mirror and walked towards the marble steps at the door of the auditorium. The goblet holding the bright red wine was steady.
The ground floated to one side, drifting forward as he went.
Harry and Ron quickly followed.
"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 measured." 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 of them walked 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 beside him automatically fell on the desk. Harry and Ron stood awkwardly at the door, rubbing the corners of their clothes uneasily with their hands.
"Sit wherever you like." Dracula glanced at them and pointed to the sofa in the office with his chin.
Then he raised the bronze mirror in his hand and showed a relaxed smile,
"Nico, there are two interesting little guys who want to know who you are. Do you want to say hello to them?"
