Chapter 167: Chapter 167 Tom Riddle cursed Tom Riddle.

"I'm really sorry this time, Professor Dracula." Newt said, "This boy Rolf has caused you a lot of trouble."

Saying that, Newt was ready to make a fierce expression and teach his grandson a lesson in front of Dracula and Dumbledore.

But he is completely a good old man character, forced to make an expression completely does not match with "fierce", on the contrary, it seems to be a little kind, but also a little comical ...

"Don't embarrass yourself, Mr. Scamander." Looking at the strange expression on Newt's face, Dracula couldn't help but say, "In fact, the matter of Assistant Coach Riddle isn't entirely Rolf's fault alone."

"You don't have to take my face into consideration, Professor Dracula, who is to blame for this matter if not him?" Newt waved his hand, "If it wasn't for Rolf's inconsequential actions, how could Assistant Professor Riddle have been trampled by a magical animal and thus seriously injured?"

"I have no regard for your face, Mr. Scamander." Dracula laughed softly, "But it may be true that Rolf isn't entirely to blame for this accident, and there's no way for Asst. Prof. Riddle to deny this when he arrives."

A look of bewilderment came over both Newt's and Rolf's faces.

"Professor Dracula, Luna didn't put up a fight from start to finish!" Rolf seemed to have suddenly thought of something, his complexion suddenly became anxious, "The whole thing was my doing, you must not implicate her!"

"Luna? Luna Lovegood from Ravenclaw? Was she there?" Dumbledore froze for a moment, then looked at Rolf with a smirk, "Little Mr. Scamander, what you just told us didn't mention Miss Lovegood."

"Eh ... so you guys didn't know Luna was there?" Rolf opened his mouth wide, "Then why would Professor Dracula say that this matter isn't all my responsibility?"

"How are we supposed to know exactly what other people were present when you, the only person involved, didn't even tell us?" Dracula shrugged, "I'm guessing you misunderstood the whole thing where I said you weren't solely responsible."

"Let's leave that aside for now. According to you, the injury to Assistant Professor Riddle had Ms. Lovegood's share of the blame right?"

"No ... no, she really didn't do anything from start to finish!" Rolf was so anxious that he was close to tears, he really didn't think that he had actually involved the originally innocent Luna in a slip of the tongue.

However, it seems that ... the one who made the biggest contribution was really the horn of the "Bent Horn Sound Beast" that Luna gave him.

"Honestly, little Mr. Scamander, besides you and Miss Lovegood, who else was at the scene where Assistant Professor Riddle was injured?" Dracula asked as he clasped his hands to his chest and looked at Lovegood with a smirk.

Seeing that several people were arguing endlessly, and it seemed that they couldn't stop for hours, Newt hastily stepped forward to round them up.

"Albus, Professor Dracula, don't be so hasty to argue, we haven't finished our business yet!" He interrupted, "Didn't Professor Dracula just say that? Rolf doesn't need to take all the responsibility. So if it wasn't Luna, what would share this responsibility with Rolf?"

"Not really 'whoever', but if you really want to count it, it can be counted on one person." Dracula thought for a moment and turned to Newt, "Do you have any knowledge about the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts?"

"I know!" Rolf jumped in and said, "Every term of the Black Magic Defense Arts Professor at Hogwarts always has all sorts of accidents and cannot be re-elected to the next term. Of course, you, Professor Dracula, were the first to break that rule."

"That was the biggest reason my grandmother and mother didn't allow me to come to Hogwarts to study at the time. They both said that with a new professor every term, it was definitely impossible to teach to teach the students well."

"Yes, that was indeed the thing." Dracula smiled and nodded, "You may not be aware of it, but it can be proven that Voldemort, harboring hatred after his second failed job search, put a curse on the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

"Does this have anything to do with Assistant Professor Riddle's injury?" Newt asked.

"It's more than related, it's quite relevant." Dracula didn't know what happy thought had occurred to him, and the smile on his face grew more pronounced.

"Didn't I just happen to be away for over a month's time? Assistant Professor Riddle was substituting for me during that time, which means that he was the equivalent of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts before I came back."

"Voldemort's curse wouldn't have worked on me, but it wouldn't have been much of a problem for Assistant Professor Riddle-"

"It's also because of his curse and extremely bad luck that he was able to just happen to stumble upon little Scamander's nighttime excursion inside the Forbidden Forest, and ended up losing to this little guy by mistake even in the face of bad luck."

"Hahahahaha ... this Voldemort, this Riddle is also too interesting!"

Saying this, Dracula exaggeratedly grinned and actually laughed out loud.

Newt: "..."

Rolf: "..."

No, is it appropriate for you to gloat so much when your assistant coach is seriously injured?
