Hogwarts Outsider Chapter 62: Vampire teacher


In the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, the students of Slytherin and Ravenclaw left one after another.

Among them, Hermione Granger gave Matthew a worried look when she left the classroom.

However, Matthew Wakefield was not flustered at all, and instead gave Hermione a "don't worry" expression.

Hermione also had to leave worriedly.

……

A few minutes later, in the huge classroom, there are only two people left, Matthew and Professor Troka——

"I don't know what's the matter with you, Professor?" Matthew asked first, his voice was very calm.

At the same time, he was still sitting in his seat without moving.

"The petrification spell is very good, Matthew." Professor Troka sat down opposite Matthew, and he began to call Matthew by his first name: "Practice often?"

"Yes." Matthew admitted honestly: "I have been practicing these few weeks when I am free; for us young wizards, the petrification spell is the only thing we can use Protection spell, this is what the professor said in the last class; so of course I have to work harder!"

"Very good!" Professor Troka smiled and glanced at Matthew with admiration: "I originally thought that you would only work **** the content of Transfiguration class, but I didn't expect you to be So... talent is important; but hard work is the most beautiful quality for a young wizard.”

"You are awesome, Professor Troka." Matthew said hastily.

"Maybe!" Professor Troka shrugged, "But to be honest, among the classes I teach, you are the student I value the most... these days, you have both talent and hard work. There are not many young people with good qualities."

As he spoke, he glanced at Matthew with appreciation.

"Let's continue discussing the petrification spell, professor." Matthew quickly changed the subject: "I want to know whether the petrification spell can work on some humanoid magical creatures?"

"In most cases, I'm afraid not." Professor Troka shook his head: "The vast majority of humanoid magical creatures are born with a certain resistance to magic; and the petrification spell is the simplest defense. Spells cannot avoid these magic resistances, so under normal circumstances, the effect of using them will be relatively poor..."

"...For example, werewolves, centaurs..." Professor Troka paused, and then continued: "There are also vampires, and so on!"

"Are vampires also naturally resistant to magic?" Matthew asked curiously.

"Of course." Professor Troka explained: "Although it's not that powerful, at least not as strong as a werewolf, it does have a certain resistance... Especially at night, this resistance will be stronger than during the day. Stronger. It is almost impossible for a little wizard like you to use the petrification spell to trap an adult vampire."

While speaking, Professor Troka shook his head.

"Okay..." Matthew pouted: "Then, professor, how much do you know about vampires?"

Professor Troka's face gradually became serious, and he said softly:

"I think that the wizarding world may have a deep misunderstanding of vampires. Every vampire, in fact, is a poor person. They used to be ordinary Muggles or wizards. For them, when they were very young, They have to endure an unimaginable torture—"

"First embrace?" Matthew asked in a low voice.

Hearing this word, Professor Troka showed a look of disgust.

He nodded: "Yes, a complicated and sinful ritual that puts a curse on a child forever, making him live with a curse all his life..."

"...Wizards are afraid of this, so they are naturally afraid of vampires." Professor Troka sighed: "Maybe it is better now, but before the beginning of this century, wizards hunted vampires on a large scale. It is not uncommon; there are very few vampires who can die, and most of them die tragically in the hunting operations of wizards..."

"...It is true that some vampires are heinous. But the vast majority of vampires are poor people living in this world..."

"... After the beginning of the century, the attitude of wizards became more enlightened, and the living environment of vampires became better. They can finally live together with wizards... But they still suffer from discrimination and tolerance. Roll your eyes, until the First Wizarding War, if a wizard killed a vampire without any reason, he only had to pay a fine of 100 Galleons!"

"Then professor..." Matthew asked solemnly:

"Are you a vampire?"

……

Professor Troka was stunned, but soon, a bleak smile appeared on his face.

"When did you find out?" He didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.

"In Professor Rozier's first Defense Against the Dark Arts class, the content of that class was about vampires." Matthew replied honestly.

"This is quite normal." Professor Troka replied calmly: "We are creatures in the night, our features are too obvious, and a smart person will find it if he pays a little attention...!"

While talking, Professor Troka gave Matthew a deep look:

"Then Matthew, since you know I'm a vampire, why do you dare to stay in a classroom with me alone?"

At the same time, he opened his mouth, revealing his **** fangs, his appearance looked very hideous.

It's just that Matthew Wakefield didn't care about it at all, and he wasn't afraid at all.

"My friends, Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle are all waiting for me in the auditorium, and they also know that you left me here!" He replied calmly: "So, Professor, you can't attack me here, right? Otherwise, it would be too obvious!"

"Yes!" Professor Troka nodded, and retracted his fangs at the same time: "No one would do such a stupid thing."

"Matthew, maybe, you have time now, listen to me tell a story?"

"Of course, Professor!"

……

That was a story that happened many years ago, in a village in Romania, where a vampire who had gone mad lived.

That crazy vampire, its greatest pleasure is to plunder the children of the surrounding villages in the dark, bring them into its lair and assimilate those children with the first embrace... Although every time the first embrace, the vampire They themselves have to suffer great pain and become extremely weak. But it never tires of it, venting crazily.

Until one day, he snatched away a ten-year-old little wizard... Then, the little wizard's father came to the door angrily and killed the crazy vampire and the little vampires he kept in captivity. …Until the father finally found out that his son had also accepted First Embrace and turned into a little vampire. "

The father couldn't accept all this, so he left, leaving the vampire's lair.

Poor little wizard, or little vampire, wandering alone in the surrounding villages... He is too weak to hunt at all; If he had digested a little ordinary food, he might have died alone.

Still, he was dying.

Just when he was dying, a wizard found him.

The little vampire knew this wizard, in fact, every wizard family in Eastern and Central Europe knew this face.

He is so famous——

Gellert Grindelwald!

The little vampire was naturally aware of his deeds. He originally thought that Grindelwald had come to kill him.

However, Grindelwald did not do this.

Instead, he slit his own wrist and fed fresh blood to the little vampire, saving the little vampire from dying.

The little vampire didn't understand why Grindelwald did this.

Grindelwald told him that he was not a vampire, but a wizard...

Any wizard, no matter what he has endured, as long as he is a wizard, he will always be a wizard!

Wizards are always equal!

Wizards are always supreme!

What a great man!

The little vampire was rescued, and then sent to Durmstrang; because the castle in the water hardly receives any sunlight.

In that magic school, he was very smart and worked very hard... At the same time, he was very cautious.

But in the fourth grade, he was still discovered as a vampire, and then he was expelled from the Durmstrang School of Magic.

Fortunately, the little vampire at this time already has the ability to survive in the wizarding world.

He wandered all over Europe, in one wizard village after another, tenaciously survived!

And for many years afterwards, he never saw Grindelwald again.

Until...

……

The story of Professor Troka is not finished, it is over.

His voice was very calm, without any resentment or sadness, as if he was just telling a story.

"So..." Matthew hesitated for a moment: "Can you listen to me tell a story, Professor Troka?"

"Of course!" Professor Troka nodded.

"A long time ago, Hogwarts hired a werewolf teacher..." Matthew said softly.

"I don't remember Hogwarts ever employing a werewolf teacher!" Professor Troka retorted.

"This is just a story...a story..." Matthew said quickly:

"That werewolf teacher is the same as the little vampire in your story. He was bitten by a werewolf when he was young, and then he was taken in by a great wizard and eventually became an excellent wizard..."

"... At Hogwarts, his courses are very popular, and he himself is also very popular with the students. But in the end, less than a year later, he was fired by Hogwarts..."

Professor Troka opened his mouth, but didn't speak.

"Because someone... Maybe it's other professors who don't like him, maybe it's an ordinary student; the news about him being a werewolf got in the newspapers, and Hogwarts had to expel him eventually..."

Matthew smiled:

"This is the story I made up, professor... It's relatively simple, that's all!"

……

Matthew's story seems to have touched Professor Troka a little bit.

"Is there anything else you want to tell me?" Then, Matthew looked into Professor Troka's eyes: "You left me here...shouldn't it be just to tell a story?"

Soon, Professor Troka returned to his usual appearance. He said in a low voice, "No, it's a warning... You must be careful, Hogwarts is very dangerous recently!"

Originally, he thought that Matthew Wakefield would be very afraid of this... But he didn't expect that the expression on Matthew Wakefield's face was still very calm.

"Aren't you afraid?" He asked in a deep voice.

"Principal Grindelwald has assured us that Hogwarts is safe!" Matthew said nonchalantly.

Professor Troka was stunned, and then he smiled: "But still be careful!"

"Well, I know!" Matthew nodded: "Thank you, Professor!"

"You're welcome...don't leave the common room casually, don't walk alone in the corridor, and don't be alone with others easily..." Professor Troka said very patiently.

"I remember!" Matthew replied:

"However, can I ask one more question?"

Professor Troka stood up: "So, do you have any questions, Matthew?"

"Professor Troka..." Matthew Wakefield seemed to hesitate for a moment ~IndoMTL.com~ But finally he spoke:

"Would you rather drink animal blood? Or human blood?"

"What a bold question." Professor Troka glanced at Matthew with great interest.

Matthew waved his hand: "If this question involves your privacy, you don't have to answer it."

"Many of my kind used to think that human blood, especially wizard blood, was more delicious... But in the end, they all died!" Professor Troka finally did not answer this question directly.

Matthew wanted to ask a few more questions, but it seems that he has no chance!

There was only a bang, and the door of the classroom was pushed open.

Hermione Granger stood at the door panting, holding the head of Ravenclaw who was a head shorter than her: Professor Flitwick.

"Granger!" Professor Flitwick also panted, "This is the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, why did you bring me here?"

"Sorry, Professor..." Hermione quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry, I went the wrong way..."

The situation outside seems to have become a little awkward.

And in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, the situation between the teachers and students also became a little awkward.

"It seems that Matthew, the question and answer between us is about to end." Professor Troka said first: "Thank you for that little story."

After speaking, he waved his hand and issued an order to expel the guests.

Matthew walked out of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom with some regrets.

In fact, he still had one last question, which he did not ask Professor Troka.

That is——

"Ronald Weasley, how does his blood taste?"
