"You said you wanted to visit the vampire tribe in Romania?"

Loken Deis looked at the two young people in front of him and felt a little tricky.

These two are no ordinary wizards.

One of them is the youngest director of the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic, and the other is the contemporary head of the Malfoy family who has just succeeded. Faced with these two guys, Deis, as a big star, does not really want to offend.

But the Romanian vampire family is not something that others can meet if they want, not to mention that Loken Deis is just a singer in the magic entertainment industry. No matter how well-known he is, he still has no say in the vampire family...

Since Dracula built a new magical world independent of the world and then disappeared, the vampire family has entered a period of rapid development.

Basically, the top leaders of the magic world in each country know more or less that the new magic world is related to a powerful vampire. They are not sure when that person will come back, so few people are willing to offend the vampire clan.

The entire Ministry of Magic in Romania has moved into the new magical world, while the vampire family led by Selina Alcatel remains in the world.

The two sides are still connected in terms of economy, production, etc., and all the apparent restrictions on the vampire family have disappeared.

"Otherwise, I can take you to Brown Castle." Loken Deis thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "As for whether I can see you or not, it depends on what the headquarters says."

"No problem, it's much better than never seeing any opportunities..."

Harry and Draco nodded simultaneously.



Romania, Brown Castle.

This magnificent castle is located in central and western Romania, 30 kilometers away from Brasov.

In the eyes of Muggles, this was a building started by the King of Hungary in 1377 as a fortification against the Turks. Now, it has gradually become a political center integrating military, customs, local administration, and justice.

"So... is this the reason why we need to buy a ticket to enter the castle?" Draco held a ticket to Brown Castle in his hand, looking puzzled.

"Yes, this castle is managed by Muggles. Of course we have to buy a ticket if we want to come in."

Lorcan Demeans put some banknotes into Harry's hand: "Thanks to you this time, Mr. Potter, I didn't expect you to actually understand Muggle money."

"I don't know much about him anymore. I haven't had any contact for a long time." Harry shook his head helplessly.

He suddenly thought, could he take some time to go back and visit the Dursleys?

"At least you can distinguish the numbers on the money." Lorcan Deis said very optimistically.

"Well... that's true." Harry counted the remaining coins with some unfamiliarity, "I didn't expect the tickets here to be so cheap. The adult ticket is 40 Romanian lei, which is only about the same value as 5 pounds..."

"Can you say something that we wizards can understand?" Draco curled his lips impatiently.

"Um...according to Gringotts's subsidized price, it's probably equivalent to one galleons, right?" Harry thought for a while and said hesitantly, "But we all know that those goblins don't want to accept pounds at all, so the value is even higher. Low."

"That's really cheap." Draco chuckled, showing a wealthy smile.

Three people in strange clothes mixed in with the crowds who came to visit Brown Castle. They climbed the steps from the foot of the mountain along the slope and walked about a hundred meters to the castle gate.

Next to it, there was a tour guide holding a small speaker that Draco and Lorcan Deis couldn't understand, and amplified the sound to explain the story of the castle:

"In the past, Brown Castle had no door at all. If you wanted to enter the castle, you had to go to the south side and climb up the rope ladder thrown down from above. It is said that this is because the owner of the castle has caused countless harm to people and is afraid that someone will come to him and seek revenge... …”

Listening to this fascinating little story, Harry and Draco looked at each other.

"Ahem... Muggles are really creative." Lorcan Deis felt a little embarrassed and coughed twice.

He quickly led Harry and Draco into the castle.

They passed through the Muggles who were enjoying the scenery with great interest, and came to the corner on the second floor of Brown Castle.

A large sign hung on the stairs at the corner with a string of Romanian words written on it.

"Mr. Deyes, do you know this language?" Harry asked.

"Of course, you still have to learn the language of the headquarters." Loken Deis said matter-of-factly. "It says... non-staff members are not allowed to enter."

"We are not staff, what are we doing here?" Draco frowned.

"Actually, it's just like this on the surface. It's similar to the Leaky Cauldron Bar in the UK..." Lorcan Deis said, "Let's get closer."

When the three of them took a few steps forward, they reached the sign.

They suddenly discovered that the words on the sign had changed, and in the eyes of Harry and Malfoy, they automatically turned into English that they were familiar with——

"Dracula's Castle Brown Office."

"Um...is the vampire family so formal?" Harry's mouth twitched.

"That's natural." Loken Deis smiled proudly.

"Ms. Alcatel is really talented. Ever since she wrote the 'Dracula Castle Regulations' and the 'Code of Conduct for Highly Qualified Vampires,' all the work of the vampire family has become more orderly."

As he spoke, Lorcan Deis led Harry and Draco up the stairs.

They appeared on a rooftop next to a steep cliff.

There was a small room on the rooftop. Lorcan Deis walked up and knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

The three of them walked into the hut and found that the structure inside was much larger than it looked from the outside, with all kinds of facilities. It was obvious that a clever invisible stretching spell had been cast on it.

However, as soon as Harry entered the door, he jumped up in surprise:

"Cedric, why are you here?"
