But at night, the castle door opened without wind, with a warm and hospitable look, inviting dear friends to come in. This time the two of them were much more prepared. Even Harry wore some protective gear made of rawhide to prevent him from turning into one if he was bitten by a vampire.
Although the castle was not luxurious, it was very clean, as if someone came to do the cleaning regularly. However, when walking through a hallway, he saw a group of brooms and mops cleaning the house by themselves, like a group of sweeping robots, which made Bai Lin feel a sense of The sense of déjà vu that magic and science reach the same goal through different paths.
There was no grand appearance of the earls and nobles. As soon as they entered the hall at the main entrance of the castle, they encountered the attack of the first enemy - the ghost. There were countless curious adventurers who died in the huge castle, forming resentful spirits that hovered in the castle.
Unlike the friendly ghosts of Hogwarts Castle, whether it is Nearly Headless Nick or Crying Myrtle, they are just playing pranks (otherwise they would have been KOed by the wizards), the ghosts of Vampire Castle are It's more like the ghost who works for the tiger in Eastern mythology. Because he was killed by the vampire, his soul was enslaved, and in turn helped the vampire kill other adventurers.
The ghosts were not as complete as the ghosts of Hogwarts. They were more like the dementors in the movie. Each one had a terrifying shape and emitted a piercing scream. They flew past the two of them, and Bai Lin felt like he was in a state of panic all over. Cold, I feel like my soul has been affected.
Harry in the back was even more frightened, his face turned pale, and his head hurt. Bai Lin remembered that in the original book, Harry encountered a Dementor on a train for the first time and almost fainted. This was because the Voldemort Horcrux in Harry had a strong attraction to the Dementor, so Harry was captured. The special "concern" of the spirit monster.
Today should be regarded as a preview of the attack by the Dementors. Since Dementors are afraid of the Invocation Curse, there is no reason why the low-matched Wraiths are immune to the light power of the Patronus Curse.
Bai Lin stretched out his wand, pointed it at the dozen or so resentful spirits flying in the air, and shouted loudly: "Calling God to Guard!"
Under Harry's admiring gaze, a golden owl appeared on Bai Lin's wand. It was also the first time for Bai Lin to use the Patronus Charm. He himself did not expect to summon his Patronus the first time.
Although the owl is only as big as a fist, chubby, and cute, it emits circles of golden light all over its body. The golden light spreads around like ripples. All the resentful spirits touched by the golden light will scream in pain, and they don't even know where to turn. Escape everywhere.
Bai Lin was happy, but the golden owl only lasted for less than five seconds before disappearing. However, the resentful spirits in the entire hall were much bleaker. Some of them seemed to be in a coma, floating in the air. Bai Lin quickly turned on the owl. The seal cleared away the resentful spirits.
Bai Lin turned around and said, "Harry, the Patronus Charm is very powerful. Practice it carefully and it can save you in the most desperate times!"
Harry shouted yes.
Just after the attack of the wraith ended, Bai Lin saw the vampire from the Harry Potter world. However, Bai Lin was quite disappointed with this appearance. He thought he would meet the powerful, changeable and elegant vampire in the Van Helsing movie. Count Dracula.
But when the real vampire leans out from the dark corner, he feels much more downcast. He has eyes much larger than ordinary people, pointed and long ears, a pale face, white teeth, and different shapes, and some have arms. Some are longer, and some even have wings growing on their backs.
Harry swallowed. This was much scarier than the pictures shown in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, but after experiencing the ghoul battle, Harry had seen the world, and Bai Lin was standing in front of him calmly. , Harry mustered up his courage and stepped forward to stand side by side with Bai Lin.
Bai Lin nodded towards Harry and said: "Very good, let's try all the newly learned spells. I think the petrification spell is very good against vampires~"
Harry tightened his grip on his wand, feeling full of power.
Three weeks have passed in the blink of an eye. School is about to start soon, and a large number of Hogwarts students are pouring into Diagon Alley. Harry, who had just returned from the third special training location - Devil's Swamp, felt exhausted and his steps were heavy. Along the way, he met many Gryffindor classmates: Mo, Dean, Neville... He all hit them casually. Say hello,
It wasn't until he passed the Quidditch boutique that he was attracted by the most magnificent broom he had ever seen on the counter, and he couldn't move any further.
"Firebolts," the shop owner said in front of the display window, frothing at the mouth: "This is a hot item. The International Club of Ireland placed an order a few days ago and wants to purchase seven of them at once. This World Cup will definitely be a hit!"
Next to the Firebolt, there is a sign introducing the broomstick. The writing is garish, but the price is negotiable in the end.
Harry swallowed. He loved this broom so much, but his Nimbus 2000 was fast enough, and it didn't let him lose any games. He didn't want to empty out Gringotts' warehouse just for Get a new broom, and then have to beg the Dursleys for tuition next term.
"I'm ordering one." A voice came from beside Harry. Harry turned his head, and it was Bai Lin. He poured out a pile of gold galleons from his wallet, causing the passersby to exclaim.
"Are you...Mr. Kelling?" The shop owner obviously recognized the upstart from the Ministry of Magic and quickly counted the Galleons: "Exactly 200 Galleons, Mr. Kelling. This broom is completely handmade, and the delivery time is It will take about two months, and we will settle the balance with you when the delivery is made. It will cost about 500 to 600 Galleons, do you think that's okay?"
Bai Lin waved his hand and said, "I hope you won't keep me waiting too long."
The shopkeeper smiled happily and issued a magic receipt to Bai Lin. Harry was stunned at the price of the broom and cast an envious look at Bai Lin.
Bai Lin shrugged and said: "You will also have a handful, and it is still in stock. Let's go, Hermione and Ron should have arrived at the Leaky Cauldron."
Sure enough, as soon as the two of them walked to the ice cream shop, they saw Hermione and Ron walking towards the Leaky Cauldron with bulging bags on their backs.
"Harry! Harry!" Ron waved happily. His freckles were so conspicuous in the sun, and Hermione also tanned a lot.
The three good friends gathered together happily, and Ron said: "I've heard all about you... How did you get to Diagon Alley?"
Harry quickly introduced Bai Lin to them: "I haven't had time to introduce him yet. This is Mr. Kelin. He is our assistant professor for the new semester! Mr. Kelin, this is my good friend, Harry from Gryffindor." Min Granger and Ron Weasley.”
Hermione and Ron then turned their attention to the young gentleman behind Harry who was taking out four deluxe ice creams from the ice cream shop. His handsome appearance even made Hermione blush, and she immediately regretted it. Why am I so tanned...
"Mr. Kelin! It's really you!" Ron's reaction was even greater than Hermione's, and he almost jumped for joy.
