Chapter 118: Chapter 118 It's a good show
Just when Harry was still in shock and confusion, a golden-red flame suddenly appeared in the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office, illuminating the dim atmosphere of the office.
"Oh? It seems that we have a guest."
Dracula raised his lips and walked towards the direction of the fire.
An old man with white hair and a long white beard up to his waist strode out of the fire.
His face was solemn, and he asked directly: "Professor Dracula, I heard from Severus that you took Harry Potter away?"
"You are much later than I expected, Dumbledore." Dracula chuckled and said to the old man, "In fact, I thought Snape would contact you earlier!"
Snape may have been addicted to scolding the little wizard in the duel club, or he subconsciously did not think that Dracula would hurt Harry Potter. He stood on the stage of the duel club for a long time and finally remembered that Harry was taken away.
So Snape used a special Patronus Charm to send this message to Dumbledore in the headmaster's office.
After receiving this message, Dumbledore came to Dracula's office as soon as possible to prevent any possible accidents to Harry, who was extremely important to him.
However, this period of time was already very sufficient.
It was sufficient for Dracula to detect the relationship between Harry and Slytherin, find out Harry's memory, and even pull out Riddle's diary, which had been bewitching Harry's mind, from his arms.
"Actually, you came at the right time. I have a surprise for you." Dracula showed an interesting smile, then turned sideways, allowing Riddle's figure to appear in Dumbledore's sight.
Even a wise old man like Dumbledore, his expression became extremely stunned in an instant.
"Tom?" Dumbledore looked at the handsome black-haired young man in front of him in surprise, "You are..."
His eyes flashed quickly, and his memory seemed to go back to sixty years ago-
The handsome black-haired young man in front of him completely overlapped with the appearance of the brilliant Tom Riddle holding high the Special Contribution Award for the school!
"Long time no see, Professor Dumbledore." Riddle showed a flawless smile and bowed gracefully to Dumbledore, "My memory actually stays at the time when I won the Special Contribution Award for the school-at that time, only you, the professor, had doubts about it."
"So you are Tom sixty years ago?" Dumbledore frowned, and his sharp eyes seemed to penetrate the slightly illusory figure in front of him.
After a moment, he suddenly revealed a look of understanding.
"So that's how it is..." Dumbledore nodded slightly, then turned to look at Harry who was full of doubts in his heart, "Harry, can you go back to the Gryffindor common room to rest for a while? Professor Dracula and I have other things to discuss."
"But... I think this matter has a lot to do with me, professor!" Harry said hurriedly.
Harry certainly didn't want to leave. He still had a lot of things to figure out, and a lot of questions to ask, and he was full of doubts about what happened today!
"When the time is right, I will explain it to you one by one, Harry." Dumbledore looked into Harry's eyes, his eyes were still gentle, but extremely determined, "But please go back now, okay? After going through so many things today, it's time for you to have a good rest."
Harry opened his mouth, wanting to tell the two professors that he was not tired at all and didn't need to rest at all.
But looking at Dumbledore's increasingly tough eyes, he finally nodded silently and turned to leave the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office.
He left the blank diary in the office, lying quietly on the cold ground...

"You are the Horcrux that Tom made after killing Myrtle, right?" Dumbledore looked at Riddle first and asked in a deep voice.
"I can't hide it from you, Professor Dumbledore." Riddle said softly, "I really want to know, is there anything in this world that can be hidden from you?"
"Professor Dracula, but I can't see any principles in your behavior of protecting Voldemort's Horcrux today!"
"Since you can't see it, why bother to say more? It's better to use personal strength to decide what is right and what is wrong!" Dracula smiled evilly, "I wanted to fight with you a long time ago, Dumbledore. Let me see what kind of surprise the greatest wizard in the magic world can bring me!"
The black and red cloak behind Dracula moved without wind, and waves of dark breath emerged around him without reservation. Gradually, a dark moon quietly appeared in this office, cold and heavy.
Dumbledore's face changed slightly, and then he sighed softly.
"Professor Dracula, I won't fight you here." He said softly, "Choosing the battlefield inside the Hogwarts Castle, do you want to demolish the entire castle? Many students will be injured or even killed!"
After that, the phoenix Fawkes landed on Dumbledore's shoulder and gently spread a pair of broad wings.
"I hope you don't regret what you did today, Professor Dracula." He looked at Dracula deeply and said finally.
The next moment, a golden-red flame wrapped Dumbledore's whole body and instantly took him to the principal's office.
In the principal's office, there were already two other professors waiting there.
"Albus, did you fight with Professor Dracula?" Professor McGonagall asked anxiously, "I clearly felt in the office on the second floor that there was a very strong magical fluctuation coming from the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office! I came here to ask Severus and found out that you just happened to go to Professor Dracula's place."
"What kind of conflict did you have that you had to fight to resolve it?!"
It was very rare that Professor McGonagall rushed to the principal's office without even wearing a hat.
Compared to Professor McGonagall's anxiety, Snape's face looked even more nervous, "Albus, why did you suddenly fight?"
"Tell me, did Dracula do something bad to Potter?!"
Looking at the nervous Professor McGonagall and Snape, Dumbledore suddenly laughed happily.
"Don't be nervous, Minerva, Severus." He said with a smile, "I did fight with Professor Dracula, but it was just a good show performed by the two of us!"
Dumbledore stroked Fawkes' feathers and recalled what had just happened-
After learning that Harry was taken away by Dracula, he was very anxious, so he asked Fawkes to take him into the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office in an instant.
"You came at the right time, I have a surprise for you." Looking at the uninvited guest in front of him, Dracula said meaningfully.
Dumbledore saw that there was a brilliant light flowing quickly in Dracula's eyes, and it seemed that there was some other information and content turning in those wine-red eyes.
So he also activated Legilimency, colliding the spirits and thoughts of the two people together-
"The results of Potter's blood test are out, I think it is necessary to let you know." Dracula looked at the sharp eyes behind Dumbledore's half-moon glasses and communicated with him silently, "I have checked, Potter does not have any Salazar blood, but he can use Snake Tongue."
"So... my judgment is not wrong, right?" Dumbledore also said silently, "Did Voldemort really accidentally leave the soul fragment in Harry's body, making Harry an alternative Horcrux?"
"That's right, so if Voldemort is to be eliminated, the child Potter must also die!" Dracula said, "Is this really an ending you can accept?"
"Hu——" Dumbledore exhaled silently, "Of course I won't let this happen, I already have a plan..."
He quickly passed the plan he prepared to Dracula's mind.
"I have to say that your plan requires too many coincidences." Dracula frowned, "and the price paid is too high, you are using yourself as a pawn!"
"I have lived enough for more than a hundred years, it doesn't matter, as long as I can succeed." Dumbledore smiled silently.
"Forget it, I want you to live a few hundred more years to feel what it means to be really tired of living!" Dracula sneered, "I have another plan here, do you want to listen to it?"
"Of course, you need to cooperate with me to put on a good show in front of Riddle!"
