Chapter 223: Vampires

Evan was tightly bound by the sudden appearance of red chains and fell to the ground with a heavy blow.

Ignoring the pain, he struggled to get up, but without success. He was covered in cold sweat, and he didn't know what the other party wanted to do.

Evan tried several spells in quick succession, but none of them worked.

The red chains on his body not only restrained his body, but also emitted a strange magical aura that hindered the operation of the magic in his body.

Evan looked up and saw the girl staggering over like a kitten.

She looked dazed, as if she had just woken up, and the expression on her face did not change in the slightest. To her, subduing herself with such a powerful magic that she had never seen before seemed like a trivial thing.

The girl didn't speak, but walked straight to Aiwen's side, her crimson gaze falling on his neck, as if she was hesitant and swallowed saliva.

Beneath the wide black robes, her short wand was not known where it had been placed, the girl sniffed again with a wrinkled nose, and then stretched out her little pale hand to Aven.

Despite the thick clothes, Evan could still feel the girl's hands as if they were ice cubes, and the temperature was very low, even colder than the air on a winter night.

Because of the proximity, he could smell a strange smell on the other person's body.

Not Hermione's girl-like scent, but a faint smell of blood.

Evan could be sure that the speckled stains on her black robe were not traces of potions or drinks, but clots of blood left behind by the blood dripping on it.

Burgundy eyes, pale skin, cold body temperature, the smell of blood, when these are concentrated in one person, it is enough to prove

The girl is a vampire!!

Evan had been suspicious just now, but now he was completely sure.

He couldn't believe that his luck was so bad. Diagon Alley, the most prosperous commercial street full of wizards and wizarding worlds, he can casually meet many vampires that wizards have never had the chance to meet in their lifetime.

Even in Tumbledown Alley, where dragons and snakes are mixed, you need to meet a vampire with luck comparable to winning the jackpot in the lottery.

You know, in the wizarding world, vampires do exist.

But they are very rare, scarce in number, and full of mystery.

Vampires are usually extremely protective of their own secrets, and generally do not actively engage with the mainstream magical society, they have their own closed society and survival rules.

Even occasional contact can be difficult to identify.

In this environment, many wizards even believe that vampires are dead, or that they are simply made up magical creatures that exist in mythological stories.

Evan vaguely remembers that in the original book, there was also not much description of vampires.

After Voldemort returned, he sent Death Eaters around to contact various dark creatures to overthrow the Ministry of Magic, and the three most important allies were werewolves, giants, and vampires, especially vampires, but they refused Voldemort's invitation.

In the original book, it seems that something big happened within the vampire tribe, and they simply didn't have the energy to care about anything else, and in the end, it didn't happen.

Looking at the vampire girl in front of her, she seemed to be hungry and wanted to pounce on her neck and suck blood

Evan swallowed, his body dodging backwards hard.

Because he didn't expect to encounter vampires, he didn't bother to collect relevant books, and the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in his second year didn't have anything about it.

Normally, vampires are a seventh-grade course or an elective course, and it is entirely up to the professor to play individually.

The vampire-related questions may occasionally appear on the Advanced Wizard Level exam, and it is very simple.

The only impression that Evan had of vampires was that he had read Lockhart's "Traveling on a Vampire" when he was bored last year.

The book uses Lockhart's characteristic exaggerated narrative to describe in detail a vampire he meets during his travels, and how he battled his wits and courage through a life-and-death battle to defeat him.

Although there are many exaggerations, and it is not Lockhart's own experience, the prototype of this book is a true story.

The description of the characteristics of vampires in it corresponds exactly to the girl in front of her.

According to Traveling on a Boat with a Vampire, vampires, like werewolves, are acquired.

However, they are not like werewolves, no matter who they are, as long as they are bitten, they can be infected and become werewolves.

The method of becoming a vampire is known as the first embrace.

The whole process is extremely demanding and the success rate is very low.

First embrace can be extremely damaging to the vampire themselves, as they generally don't do it haphazardly, and usually only pick talented wizards who are close to them.

The combination of these constraints greatly limits the number of vampires.

Traditionally, the first embrace has been considered a magical ritual.

This magic evolved from the ancient dark wizards who specialized in the study of necromancy and demons, such as offering sacrifices to the undead and summoning demons. Because of this, unlike other magical creatures such as goblins, house-elves, centaurs, werewolves, etc., vampires can only be formed through initial possession, and are believed to be the result of wizards' mutations.

They are not magical creatures in nature, but wizards who have mutated the magic in their bodies under the influence of magic, and they are even more forbidden than evil dark wizards.

This can be seen from the internal setup of the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control of the Ministry of Magic.

As we all know, the department is divided into several sections, which are responsible for the management of all magical creatures in the wizarding world.

As of now, the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control includes the Centaur Office, the Dangerous Creatures Disposal Committee, the Dragon Research and Control Office, the Pest Advisory Committee, the Giant Management Office, the Werewolf Registration Office, the Werewolf Capture Unit, the Elf Liaison Office, the House-Elf Relocation Office, the Ghost Management Office, and many more.

Of these, none have anything to do with vampires.

A wizard has the misfortune of being bitten by a transformed werewolf and becomes a werewolf like Lupin, and they must report it to the werewolf registry office.

If they refuse to accept the management of the Ministry of Magic, then they will be captured by the werewolf capture force.

However, if a wizard is first embraced to become a vampire.

Compared to before he became a vampire, his body shape and appearance will not change much.

He would still be considered human, a wizard, but like a dark wizard, not accepted and trusted by mainstream society, or considered a more evil being.

But as long as he doesn't harm others and sucks other people's blood, then no one cares about him.

It's easy to say, but it's practically impossible, unlike the normal wizard's source of power, vampires' power comes mainly from blood.

The more magic they have in their blood, the more power they gain. Although it is possible to survive by relying on the blood of animals, unless it is a magical creature with particularly strong magical power, the power of the vampire will slowly weaken if it is sucked into this blood for a long time.

In the end, it is even possible to lose the magic.

Because, they have to consume blood that contains magical powers. The blood of wizards is more readily available than dangerous and powerful magical creatures, so vampires still attack wizards despite prohibitions.

However, as the number of vampires became less and less, such attacks gradually disappeared. (To be continued.) )
