Harry looked back at Draco.
Astoria Greengrass, his impression of this witch still lingers on when she was a student at Hogwarts——
A rare pure-blood Slytherin who is gentle, kind and does not discriminate against other houses.
After Draco experienced becoming Voldemort's proton, realized the swing of his father Lucius, and witnessed the outcome of the war with his own eyes, the way he thought about problems seemed to have changed a lot.
The previous followers, Crabbe, Goyle and Draco were the first to part ways due to Lucius's betrayal, and switched sides with Theodore Nott, who was also a pure-blood "Twenty-Eight Saints".
Pansy Parkinson, a former confidante, also gradually had differences with Draco's ideas and was unwilling to accept his "abandonment of the dark and the bright", and finally let it go.
After graduation, Draco found that his ideas coincided with that of the little girl from the Greengrass family who was one grade below him——
No longer discriminate against mixed-race and Muggle wizards, follow the slogan of reform in the wizarding world, and try to accept Muggle knowledge.
After Astoria's sympathy for Muggles was discovered by Draco's parents, Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Malfoy, she was greatly harassed, but Draco firmly stood in the way. in front of her.
At that time, Draco's determination was evaluated by Astoria as "a mess of a man".
"The Greengrass family has always had a curse that has been passed down in their bloodline. Almost every generation has someone who is cursed to be 'chosen'." Draco explained, "Astoria is the 'chosen one' of this generation."
"So you want to..." Harry's eyes widened.
"It should be easy to guess." Draco said, "I heard that Professor Dracula once helped a blood-cursed orc to lift the curse, so I thought... could he also help Astoria... "
"But you should know that we haven't seen Professor Dracula for a long time." Harry shook his head helplessly, "He once slept for almost the entire 20th century. I wonder... will he sleep again? Already?"
"But...why did Professor Dracula go to sleep?" Draco's eyes suddenly turned red.
"It's hard to say." Harry's tone also darkened, "For Professor Dracula, finding fun is the reason for his existence in this magical world, but Voldemort has been eliminated..."
"Yes, the magical world has stabilized." Draco sighed sadly, "Professor Dracula even helped establish a parallel magical world to avoid conflict with the Muggle world."
"This kind of stable situation was not what he wanted, but he did it anyway."
"I can only say... Professor Dracula does have people he cares about in the magical world." Harry said softly, "Maybe those people are his students, that is, us..."
He slowly raised his hand and touched the lightning-shaped scar on his forehead.
It had not hurt in seventeen years.
"But the stability of the magical world also makes Professor Dracula lose too many opportunities to have fun." Draco looked at his toes and sighed, "So he really has no reason to stay anymore."
Harry and Draco looked at each other and both smiled bitterly.
The grudges they had when they were students seemed unimportant now. They seemed to have turned back into little wizards who worshiped the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
But now, the professor they admired has disappeared.
For Dracula, a hundred years may be just a matter of sleeping, but for Harry and Draco, it may be a whole life...
"Forget it, I asked for too much."
After a long time, Draco suddenly smiled bitterly.
"I'll discuss it with the dean of St. Mungo's... Maybe we can also look at the portrait of Principal Delise Derwent to find out more. There are always more solutions than difficulties."
He shook his light blond hair and turned to leave.
The raised hairline may also mean that the domineering pure-blood second generation who talked about "my daddy" all day long is gone. Now Draco has finally become a mature and family-oriented man.
Harry looked at Draco's leaving figure and bit his lip unbearably.
He knew very well that it would be impossible for this former nemesis to find out the result after he left - even the real Principal Derwent had no way to deal with the blood curse, so what's the use of counting on a portrait with only partial memory?
But Harry had no reason to dissuade him.
Because he had no countermeasures, how could he give up other people's hope of saving their lives?
At this moment, a magnetic bass singing voice suddenly came from the sky——
"Get closer to you and let me see your hair and profile. I will stick in front of your eyes and kiss your neck and shoulders with my side teeth..." (Made-up lyrics, this song does not exist)
Draco paused.
"It seems like..."By Your Side"?" Harry's eyes lit up, and he walked quickly to Draco, "That seems to be the famous song of Lorcan Demeans, the half-blood vampire. I didn't expect to host the World Cup. Fang invited him here.”
"Mixed-blood vampire?" A glimmer of hope suddenly surged in Draco's eyes, "You said... I go to Romania to find the vampire clan. Will they still have contact with Professor Dracula?"
"I think so too." Harry nodded and said, "I'll go with you. It just so happens that I also want to see Professor Dracula again."
