Chapter 5 The Future of Minorities
"Professor Dracula, do you have any plans for the next step?"
In Newt's old house, Lemay asked Dracula with a smile.
"Me...... It's almost time to head back to Dracula's Castle. Dracula shrugged, "If I don't go back, I don't know how Serena is going to scold me secretly." β
He turned his head to look to the side, Nagini had just woken up, and Newt and his old friends were telling her about the changes in the wizarding world over the years, hoping that she would soon be able to adjust to her new life decades later.
The juniors Rove and John didn't know Nagini, so they gathered around Dracula and Lemay and listened to their chat.
"It's good to go back and take a look, it's not easy for Serena to manage the castle alone." Lemay nodded and said, "And isn't she trying to change the status of the vampire clan in the wizarding world?" β
"Vampires have done a lot in this war, and there should be a lot of improvements."
β¦β¦
When Dracula returns to his castle, he finds that the scene seems to be a little different from what he had imagined.
He had expected that the vampires would still patrol the territory, infiltrate the surrounding Ministry of Magic, and taste various flavors of blood food, as they had done before...... Unpretentious and boring.
However, when I returned to Dracula's Castle, I was greeted by a lively and jubilant atmosphere, which contrasted sharply with the lifeless, dark style architecture.
Dracula: "? β
He grabbed a Bloodline and asked, "Are there any important events today?" Or when did the vampires start celebrating Christmas? β
When the vampire sees Dracula, he is instantly frightened and turns into a bat.
"See you...... I've seen Dracula-sama! The bat shouted, "Our Bloodline never celebrates Christmas, just celebrates!" β
"Celebration?" Dracula raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "What are you celebrating, hasn't Voldemort been dead for a long time?" β
"No, no, no, it's not you, Lord Dracula, we never paid attention to Voldemort's little role!" The bat shook his head, "We're celebrating the start of filming. β
"What did you just say you were filming......?" Dracula froze for a moment, almost believing his ears.
"I'm making a movie, my lord!" "You weren't here, but Master Alcatel and Lord Lorcan Deis have already discussed the future direction of the vampire clanβ"
"It's about making vampires entertaining, and gradually becoming accepted by the public, so as to gradually erase the stereotypes that the wizarding world has about us."
Dracula thought for a while before he remembered who Lorcan Deyes was.
A half-blood vampire singer with a good reputation in the wizarding world, he was invited by Dumbledore to a Halloween dinner at Hogwarts a few years ago and sang a song called "By Your Side".
Since his debut in the wizarding world, Lorcan has been following a cold and ascetic vampire style, and his handsome appearance and sexy voice have been sought after by many witches.
This song "By Your Side", as his famous song, has a strong vampire style.
Judging from the title part, the English title of this song is called "Necks to You", which is a pun, and its pronunciation is very similar to "Next to You".
It vividly depicts the seductive image of a handsome vampire leaning over the side of the young witch's neck to kiss and bite, describing the vampire's eating as a seductive, harmless action.
It was because of this evocative depiction that this love song became a hit, reaching number one on the wizarding music charts for 19 consecutive weeks.
Its birth and popularity greatly beautify the image of vampires in the minds of wizards.
Lorcan and Serena find this kind of entertainment useful, and they are idle anyway, ready to put the vampire clan on the road to making movies.
"So what movie are they going to make?" Dracula asked with interest.
"I heard what it's called? Lord Alcatel appointed Cedric Diggory as the male lead, and also called Diggory's girlfriend in the wizarding world as the heroine, saying that it was to reflect the peaceful coexistence of wizards and vampires. β
"Oh, by the way, Remus Lupin also agreed to take the werewolf clan to participate in this movie, and by the way, help the werewolves also promote it."
Listening to his subordinates' introduction to the film, Dracula raised his eyes to the center of the hall.
Cedric and Cho Chang are on a stage, smiling at a giant camera, and Lorcan Deis stands beside them, hearing that the famous singer of the wizarding world is going to sing a theme song for the movie.
Lupin and several werewolves stood on the side of the stage, and next to him stood as if the best-selling author of "Hairy Nose, Human Heart", who was going to publish a book to promote the movie.
Before you know it, these minorities also have a lot of influence in the wizarding world.
Dracula looked at this scene with a smile on his lips.
When the vampire film was made, he planned to give it as a gift to Nicol Lemay, who was a big theater lover and frequented the Paris Opera.
Theatre has been on the wane in recent years, but the film industry is still thriving.
Giving the film to Lemay help him develop a new hobby?
In this way, there will always be a little means to pass the time in a long life.
β¦β¦
Dracula did not disturb the celebration and silently appeared in the castle's conference room.
In front of the largest chair in the room, two pamphlets lay quietly on the table:
They are the Code of Conduct for High-Quality Vampires and the Joint Minority Program.
Dracula had read the previous book, and now it is nothing more than a few more points, but the latter is a plan that he has never seen before.
He picked up the "United Minority Project" from the table, and saw the future of the minority community in the wizarding world that Serena had planned-
Vampires and werewolves are friendly allies who continue to weaken the stereotype of these two races in the wizarding world through entertainment, and improve the treatment of high-quality vampires and werewolves in the wizarding world.
At the same time, they are also preparing to unite some of the more friendly minority groups to form a minority federation.
Take the centaurs in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts, for example.
This group of arrogant and powerless fellows were beaten up every once in a while by Serena and her Bloodline's men, and now, the former centaur patriarch Ronan was humiliated and chose to abdicate to make way for Xian.
The new patriarch, Ferenze, was one of the few moderate centaurs among the centaurs, and he even took up a position as an astrology teacher at Hogwarts himself.
Serena was satisfied with the current leader of the centaurs, so she pulled him into the Minorities Federation to discuss the future of the minorities;
As for the merfolk race, they are just as annoying as the centaurs, especially the ugly guys in the cold-water waters.
So Serena called the warm water merfolk, which is usually a mermaid with long hair and a very beautiful one.
The merfolk in the warm waters are gentle, and they are easy to talk, and Serena likes them very much, and pushes them into the representatives of the whole mermaid group;
In addition, there are also races such as goblins, giants, and house-elves that have found representatives to join the federation - for example, the giant is represented by Hagrid's younger brother Grope, and the house-elf is represented by the free Dobby......
Of course, these populations have all sorts of problems, and Serena handles them quite well.
Dracula closed the pamphlet with satisfaction, feeling more and more that his decision to let Serena manage Dracula's castle was a wise one.
So...... Continue to be a hands-off shopkeeper!
