Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

But as time went on, their advanced intelligence gradually excluded them from the category of dark creatures and turned them into neutral creatures. Many vampires were even willing to integrate into the wizarding society, and blood-brewed potions were born.

This potion can replace blood and satisfy the vampire's blood-thirsty instinct.

It has existed at least a thousand years ago.

Dean Olivia looked at Ryan with a bit of surprise at this moment: "You actually know about blood brewing potion? It's not very common."

obviously.

Although she had heard of Ryan's excellence, her erudition still surprised her at this moment.

Afterwards, she readily admitted her identity: "Yes, I am a vampire—many of my friends know this, it's not a big deal."

But it's certainly no small matter.

Ryan muttered in his heart.

The director of St. Mungo's Hospital is actually a vampire.

Although Ryan knew very well, as Olivia said - most of the high-ranking officials in the Ministry of Magic and wizards with sufficient connections should know about this.

She couldn't really hide it.

But he felt that if the matter was made public, the impact would definitely not be small.

But then, Ryan also understood why Dean Olivia rarely appeared in the spotlight.

He finally understood why the dean looked so young... Vampires are immortal species, and their lifespan is much longer than that of wizards!

Judging from the tone of her voice when speaking to Mrs. Longbottom, they were most likely of the same age.

"Let's not talk about my business...Neville, don't be so scared. I held you in my arms when you were little!"

Olivia said with a smile.

Then she turned the topic back to Ryan.

"Great! I can't wait to see your life spell, little Ryan - the power of Hufflepuff, it's really exciting!"

The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and her steps became faster.

This made many therapists passing by look at her subconsciously, and then they quickly recognized the dean and looked at her with respect and curiosity.

"Oh, sorry, Ryan—Olivia is just like that, very emotional... This is the flaw of immortals like them, they always have young souls."

"But I didn't expect her to be like this to you... But you can trust that she has a kind nature and is an excellent therapist."

Looking at Dean Olivia walking in front, Mrs. Longbottom sighed and explained for her good friend.

"I asked her to pick us up so you could skip signing the registration form—it would save you a lot of trouble."

"But now... I'm afraid it's not going the way I wanted."

Looking at the wizards gradually gathering around - after recognizing Dean Olivia, many people naturally noticed Ryan.

Judging from the exclamations and discussions coming from the crowd...it's probably only a matter of time before Ryan's identity is revealed.

"Oh, thank you, Mrs. Longbottom."

But Ryan just expressed his gratitude to Mrs. Longbottom.

The old lady obviously practiced what she said and hoped to avoid Ryan's trouble as much as possible.

but...

"You don't have to worry about that."

Ryan was very casual - from the moment he agreed to let Neville come to St. Mungo's Hospital, he was actually prepared to face onlookers and trouble.

So compared to these, he was more curious about...

"Regarding Dean Olivia, why did she..."

He couldn't understand it - from what he knew, although many vampires had integrated into the wizarding society, they were not real wizards after all.

It was hard for him to understand why Dean Olivia could reach such a high position and why the Ministry of Magic actually tolerated it?

“Oh, that’s an old story…”

After hearing this question, Mrs. Longbottom did not hesitate.

She said, "Because Olivia is not an ordinary vampire, but the granddaughter of the vampire queen Hecate Alanthel."

"After unifying the vampire race, the queen signed an ancient contract with a wizard. Her offspring will walk the wizard world on her behalf."

She said this, and then saw Ryan's somewhat dazed expression.

"Oh, Ryan, don't be surprised... It's normal that you don't know this - this is a very old story, only some long-standing families know it."

she said calmly.

The Longbottom family was not proud of their pureblood heritage, but they were indeed ancient.

But Mrs. Longbottom obviously didn't know that.

The reason Ryan was stunned at this moment was not just because of the incident itself, but because...

"Hecate Alanthel?"

An image formed in Ryan's mind.

It was a lady in a scarlet dress.

"Lian...you really should persuade Rowena to study the path of the soul. It will lead her to death sooner or later."

She has a cold and proud voice.

"Why not accept my blood and study blood magic as a vampire... She has a great soul and should stand shoulder to shoulder with me."

"Oh, of course... You're not bad either - will you take my blood?"

That's right.

Ryan knew who Hecate Alanthel was.

That was a powerful vampire he met when he and the four giants were traveling in Northern Europe a thousand years ago.

She possesses powers that are no less than those of legendary wizards, and is close friends with Ravenclaw—although their personalities make the way they express their friendship awkward.

So Ryan certainly didn't expect that he would hear this name again a thousand years later.

and...

"Lady Hecate...she unified the vampire race and signed a contract with the wizard?"

Ryan said in surprise.

"When did this happen?"

As far as he knew, Hecate Alanthel did have powerful magical powers.

But she never showed any desire or ambition for power, instead she focused on studying the path of magic - this was one of the reasons why she became good friends with Ravenclaw.

"Oh, that's not clear."

Mrs. Longbottom obviously didn't expect Ryan to ask such detailed questions.

This made her look at Ryan with admiration, and then glared at her grandson fiercely - look at his thirst for knowledge, this is an excellent little wizard!

Neville: "..."

Then, Madam Longbottom said softly, "But the Blood Queen's name has been around since at least the time Longbottom existed—so... at least nine hundred years ago."

"But she's been missing for a long time, and some of the records from the past may not be accurate, so this time can't be said to be certain."

"..."

So Ryan didn't say anything else.

However, he already had a subconscious guess in his mind.

It wasn't nine hundred years ago, but a thousand years ago - Hecate Alanthel's unification of the blood race was probably what happened after he returned to this era!

"A wizard signed a contract with the Queen... Could that wizard be a Ravenclaw teacher?"

Ryan murmured in his heart.

But before he could ask more questions.

They had unknowingly arrived at the special ward on the third floor.

The words "Permanent Magical Damage Ward" were hung on the door of the ward.

As soon as he entered the ward, Ryan frowned.

Because he noticed a place in the ward almost at first sight.

There were two beds, with a man and a woman sitting on each.

They all looked to be around 40 years old.

The reason Ryan noticed them was simple—they looked a lot like Neville.

The woman had a gentle face and the man was also wealthy.

"father!"

"mom!"

The sign in front of the bed and Neville's subconscious cry at this moment were enough to prove Ryan's guess.

Alice Longbottom, Frank Longbottom.

Ryan had heard of their existence a long time ago - both of them used to be elite Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, but they became victims in the war against Voldemort in the past.

They were brutally tortured and eventually became mentally retarded.

Even the best healers could not bring them back to health, and they had to remain in a special ward at St. Mungo's Hospital.

And this is indeed the case.

At this moment, Neville approached them.

But the two men seemed not to have seen him at all, and just sat blankly in front of the bed.

Their eyes were empty and dull, like soulless puppets.

Then Ryan saw Neville's pace slow down.
