Chapter 80: Romania's Signal (Subscription on the Shelf!) )

"So, you two are here to find Professor Dracula to answer the exam papers?"

Cedric looked at the twins with an unkind look, and took out his Defence Against the Dark Arts teaching assistant badge and pinned it to his chest.

"I think it's necessary for me to use my teaching assistant authority to clean up the two of you." He said.

"Ahem, Cedric, we're just kidding!" Fred hurriedly put his arm around Cedric's shoulders and looked close, "We just said this to test whether your little teaching assistant is fair and impartial enough."

"That's right, don't you know who we are? It must not be possible to do such an immoral thing!" George also said righteously.

Dracula watched this scene, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Have you two forgotten that I'm still here watching!" He said with a look of disgust, "What you just did on your own, don't you dare to admit it after only a few minutes?"

Fred and George's faces changed, and they immediately turned their heads to Dracula, turned their backs to Cedric, and kept squeezing their eyes and winking at Dracula.

"If your eyes are uncomfortable, you should go to the school infirmary for treatment, so as to save yourself the exam that has been delayed for a while." Dracula ignored their pleading glances and chuckled.

Dracula then looked at Cedric, "Tell me, Diggory, what questions did you have when you reviewed?"

Cedric bowed his head slightly, thinking for a moment.

"I want to know, when we answer exam questions, do we use the knowledge in the textbook as the standard, or the content you covered in class?" He asked, "A lot of the knowledge you talked about in class conflicts with the textbook, and I now want to know which one to refer to to prepare for the exam."

"Do you need to ask me this kind of question?" Dracula smiled, his tone taking place as a matter of course, "What I've said is correct, anything that conflicts with the textbook is something wrong with the textbook!"

Cedric was stunned for a moment, then nodded earnestly.

"I have another question, Professor." He hesitated for a moment, then spoke again, "Is that amulet you said when you first started school really given to students who scored first in grades 1 to 3?"

Dracula was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered that he really seemed to have given such a promise in order to mobilize the students' enthusiasm for Defence Against the Dark Arts as soon as possible.

But he didn't take it to heart at the time, and left the matter behind him after saying that.

If Cedric hadn't brought up the amulet again today, he would have forgotten about it completely......

"Ah, that's right!" Dracula said humbly as he rummaged back and forth in the pocket where he had cast the Traceless Stretching Charm, "Don't worry, what I said will definitely come true!"

It was a long time before he found three small pendants from his extensive collection.

Dracula took out the spooky wooden cross pendant and showed it to Cedric—

The center of the cross pendant is engraved with an ancient runi symbol symbolizing the moon, and unlike the church cross, its shorter bar slopes slightly upwards like a pair of unfolded demon wings.

….

"I came to ask about the amulet before the exam, it seems that you are very confident in your exam!" Dracula chuckled.

"This amulet, I am bound to get it." Cedric laughed too.

Cedric's confident expression made the Wesley twins next to him envious. They stared at the cross pendant in Dracula's hand, and their faces were full of expressions of "give me a whole one".

"Any other questions?" Dracula ignored the twins' eyes, and finally glanced at the three little wizards in the office and asked lazily.

[To tell the truth, I've been using @

There was already a hint of expulsion in his tone.

Cedric thanked Dracula with a playful thank, then turned and left the office.

The Wesley twins, on the other hand, didn't notice Dracula's intentions in the slightest, and stood stupidly in place, trying to find a way to get the amulet without relying on test scores.

However, the next moment, the two red-haired figures screamed and threw them out of the door of the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor's office as if they had been thrown garbage.

"Bang!"

The office door slammed shut.

……

An hour later, Professor McGonagall, who already knew Dracula well, rushed from the vice-chancellor's office on the second floor to the third floor to prevent him from lying in the office and pretending to be dead, and called the reluctant Dracula out of the office and asked him to come to the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom to proctor.

The weather in June was very hot, and the castle was not equipped with refrigeration magic, so the large classrooms were even more uncomfortable for the young wizards.

Dracula was the first to disagree with this environment, so he closed the doors and windows of the classroom and blew into the air.

A cool piece of air fell from the sky, bringing an extremely refreshing feeling to the classroom in the summer. The little wizards have said that the Defence Against the Dark Arts exam experience is full and will come back next year!

After all the young wizards had received a quill for the exam and recited the anti-cheating spell, the bell of the Hogwarts clock tower rang loudly, and the Defence Against the Dark Arts exam officially began—

The young wizards were immersed in writing the exam questions written by Dumbledore himself, and the classroom was silent, except for the rustling of quills on parchment.

Some of the little wizards frowned and pondered, some of them fluttered and wrote hard, and some of them looked calm...... Of course, Dracula also saw a few little wizards who were sleeping on their desks as if they were just resigned to their fate, and they probably hadn't listened to the lecture at all......

At the beginning of the invigilation, Dracula was quite interested in admiring the movements and expressions of the little wizards scratching their ears and cheeks and full of sadness, but before the exam was halfway through, he gradually lost patience with the performance of these little wizards who were not rich.

So Dracula sat silently behind the podium, cast a spell to conjure up an identical figure on the seat, and then quietly walked out of the examination room under the cover of the illusion spell.

Dracula leaned against the railing of the hallway outside the door, looking into the distance.

At this moment, his eyes moved slightly.

A delicate crystal ball with a soft shimmer was taken out of Dracula's pocket, and it was connected to the one that Wes had asked to send to Romania.

In the center of the crystal sphere of the lake, there should have been a dim moon spinning quietly.

However, at this moment, the dark moon became extremely bright.
