Dracula finally prepared the final exam paper.
It was not a test paper he set himself, but one set by a senior professor who had taught Defense Against the Dark Arts for many years and had rich experience in Defense Against the Dark Arts.
That’s right, that man’s name is—Albus Dumbledore!
Dumbledore, a senior professor who started teaching in the early 20th century, first served as the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. It was not until about 20 or 30 years later, when he became the head of Gryffindor, that he became the professor of Transfiguration.
Therefore, compared to many Defense Against the Dark Arts professors who have only stayed in their positions for a year at most in the past fifty years, Dumbledore has extremely rich experience in teaching and setting questions, and is fully capable of giving students exams!
In the headmaster's office, Dracula and Dumbledore bargained for a long time.
Until the end, Dracula promised Dumbledore and agreed to renew Hogwarts' lease for seven years in exchange for the opportunity for the headmaster to personally set the test questions.
…
Time quickly came to June.
The weather in Scotland became very hot. There was clearly a vast expanse of green grass outside the castle, but the sunlight made it look like the African savannah.
The marble floor exposed to the sun was so hot that you could vaguely see the heat. The little wizards walked on tiptoe as they walked past, for fear that the soles of their shoes would melt and stick to the floor.
The water of the Black Lake was steaming up due to the sun, and water vapor could be vaguely seen floating up to the sky, but was quickly wiped out by the sunlight.
It was extremely hot and humid in the cloudless and windless weather.
Dracula hated this kind of weather the most. He stayed in the office all day and was too lazy to go out. He didn't even want to move during the important exam week in the first week of June. He just hoped that those naughty students would save him some trouble and go get the papers themselves and hand them in after they finished the work...
However, Dracula, who was lying in the office and playing badly, soon lost the peace of being alone -
"Bang, bang, bang!"
There was a knock on the door from outside the office.
"Come in." Dracula snapped his fingers and the office door opened.
Two little red-haired wizards slipped in quietly. George even carefully looked outside the door from behind to make sure that no one else followed. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and closed the door.
Dracula was no longer surprised by the strange actions of these two guys. He just leaned back in his soft armchair and didn't bother to pay attention to them.
"Wow, professor, it's so cool here!" Fred wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in surprise.
"Professor, did you cast any spell here?" George walked forward and asked curiously, "If there is a spell that can easily cool down, please teach it to us!"
Dracula naturally would not tell them that the cool air was caused by his physique.
He just glanced at them lazily and responded casually: "Use a freezing spell on each other, I guarantee you will cool down immediately."
The twins' faces fell.
"It's not like we haven't tried before, but the price we paid was a bit high..." Fred glanced at George, "Last time I froze George into a popsicle, and it took me several hours to thaw him out."
"How dare you say that?" George was so angry that he jumped up and slapped Fred on the forehead. "It was you who secretly used me as a test subject, and after the experiment, you were afraid of being criticized and didn't send me to the school infirmary!"
"Think of it this way, brother, you've been cool all day, haven't you?" Fred said embarrassedly.
"Is that cool? I was going to freeze to death that day!"
Seeing that the two clowns were about to fight, Dracula decisively stopped them.
"This is an office. If you want to fight, go outside." He glared at the two of them coldly, scaring them right away. "The exam will start in two hours. It's fine if you don't study hard, but you actually dare to come here and disturb my rest."
"If you don't get down to business next, don't blame me for using the freezing spell to cool you down."
Fred and George then shut up, sneaked up to Dracula's desk, and talked about the so-called "business".
"Professor, do you have the answers to the exam questions?" Fred whispered, "We are so familiar with each other, shouldn't we be more flexible?"
"Yes, professor," George agreed. "Even if you don't want to give us the answer, at least give us a scope for the exam!"
Dracula looked at the two of them in astonishment, then rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
He really didn't expect that even after knowing them for such a long time, this pair of twins could still refresh his cognition time and time again.
Are there students who would actually ask the professor for the answers to the exam? It seems that he is too easy to talk to, and he has to give them a little surprise.
"You want the answer, right?" Dracula raised his eyebrows and glanced at them.
The Weiss twins looked at Dracula's expression and thought there was a chance, so they were overjoyed and nodded their heads like two pile drivers.
"Okay, no problem." Dracula said with a half-smile, "Go to the principal's office and ask for it. This set of questions was set by Dumbledore."
Fred and George's joy froze on their faces.
Going to the principal's office to ask for the test answers, wouldn't that mean I can just skip the formalities and be fired by the principal directly...
Just then, there was another knock on the office door.
Dracula glanced at the twins' expressions with interest, chuckled, opened the door, and let the people outside in.
This time, the one who walked into the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office was also a familiar little wizard. He was wearing Hufflepuff's yellow collared school robe. His face looked a little childish, but already very handsome.
When the Weiss brothers saw the little wizard, their stiff expressions came alive again.
"Good boy, Cedric. I didn't expect that you, who looks like you with thick eyebrows and big eyes, are actually such a person!" Fred complained bitterly.
George, who was standing next to him, looked at Dracula with anger on his face and said loudly, "Professor, you saw it. Cedric also came here to do this kind of thing. How can such a person be your teaching assistant? If he can be your teaching assistant, then so can I!"
Cedric watched the two people's performance in confusion, completely out of the situation and had no idea what they were talking about.
Dracula interrupted the two people's accusations with a headache and looked at Cedric, whom he admired very much.
"Come on, Digory, what brings you here?" he asked.
"Okay, professor." Cedric nodded and said, "I had a question while reviewing and wanted to ask it in person."
"What? You're not here to get the answers to the test?!" Fred and George opened their mouths wide.
Cedric: “???”
