Chapter 504

After the dance, Harry's first destination this Christmas was Gilneas. Because at this time, the old Sir was busy with another thing that he thought was very meaningful: that was to help the vampires driven out by the Wizarding World to build a farm. These intelligent creatures who lost everything in the Queen's plan's gamble were very consistent with the definition of "proletarians" in the old Sir's heart.

Thus, in this slightly dark forest in Albania, all of Harry's relatives were gathered at this moment, sitting at the long table in the Presidential Palace, chatting happily. At the end of the long table, there were also two well-behaved children who made Harry feel very kind—Edith, who had adapted to the vampire identity, and Nikola, who was adapting to Muggle life.

Just as Harry was happily asking them about interesting things in Muggle school, and Sirius was constantly teasing the relationship between Lupin and Tonks, the heavy wooden door was suddenly pushed open, a cold wind blew into the hall, and everyone couldn't help but stop their movements and look at the door.

Snape was wearing his signature pitch-black robe, with a cold face, walking toward here somewhat silently.

"Ah, Ha!" Sirius greeted immediately, "I didn't expect the great Hogwarts headmaster to have time to inspect our tiny country. Would you like to taste a can?"

Lupin reached out and pressed his shoulder, his expression starting to become serious: "At this juncture, Sev, did something happen outside?"

"Nothing, I just received an invitation." Snape's face was still gloomy, but his tone seemed to hide a hint of joy.

Nikola stood up somewhat nervously. Clearly, the invitation letter was written by him.

Harry quickly guessed the cause and effect, and he said happily: "This is a good thing, Professor, please sit in the front."

"No, I'll sit here." Snape pulled out a chair, sat down beside Nikola very naturally, and pushed him back onto the table.

At this moment, a different atmosphere permeated, and Harry felt a little faint loss, as if he was no longer Snape's favorite student.

"However, why are you worried that something happened outside?" Snape asked, looking at the other end of the long table with a scrutinizing gaze while picking up food for himself.

"Sigh, I won't hide it from everyone, we are currently experiencing a difficult time," Lupin sighed heavily after sitting back at the table, "The Focused Rainbow has made our tiny country enter Yanayev's field of vision. Over the past six months, Gilneas has been subjected to various, and increasingly excessive, probing and infiltration activities. I am really worried that the situation will escalate one day..."

"Does the Ministry of Magic not care?"

"This is intelligence activity, it's not that someone says a few words of justice and issues a document and it will stop." Lupin said helplessly, "I have cooperated with the Albanian government and have already caught several spies, but it is impossible to catch them all. They have many clever Muggle means to incite and control these simple werewolves. I feel the situation is very passive, and, clearly, the situation with the vampires will only be worse."

"Yes, because they lack a leader who is smart and powerful enough." The old Sir suddenly interjected, "That young man named Louis is very capable and enthusiastic, but he lacks prestige and management experience."

"And there is a considerable part of them inside who are unwilling to give up the Queen's plan." Lupin added, "These people regard Louis, who is dedicated to building a new life, as a traitor, which further intensifies the contradiction."

"Although the farm is currently operating steadily, their problems, or even the future of this nation," the old Sir understood vampires as a minority nation of humans, "are to be left outside the industry, to be discussed in a more enlightened environment, or simply to use a bloody turmoil to truly form a stable society. I think this is what they must do, rather than mechanically operating in the factory we built for them."

"After some blood clans walked out of the frustration of wandering and started thinking about these problems you mentioned, the answer they gave was to restart the Queen's plan." Lupin shook his head, "They have always firmly believed that the super-wizard power belonging to their own ethnic group is the basis for forming an equal dialogue with wizards, and the existence of the Focused Rainbow... I am afraid it has intensified their determination. To tell the truth, I now feel that this big glass ball has no benefit to werewolves."

Snape slowly stopped his knife and fork, one hand tapping the table slowly, and he suddenly asked: "According to this, the invitation to me to come here was not Nikola's own idea?"

Harry widened his eyes, and he suddenly thought of an absurd way to solve all the problems of the vampires.

"Uh, yes, those elders..." Nikola said in a low voice with a red face.

"No!" Edith suddenly stood up, "We didn't do that because of the elders' persuasion or any external factors. The reason we invited you, Professor, is very simple and pure, that is, we want to spend Christmas with our family. Isn't this a matter of course?"

A simple "family" controlled everyone for several seconds. Especially Snape, who at first felt he had heard something incomprehensible and immediately showed an impatient expression—but soon, when he thought of the meaning behind the words, he suddenly became at a loss.

Even though his relationship with Mia ended abruptly with that failed experiment, the two children still regarded him as the closest person. Snape suddenly felt a little guilty. He just regarded Nikola and Edith as poor students who needed care, but they regarded him as a family member to spend Christmas with.

Perhaps it was because Harry's growth and ability to stand on his own made him let go of his original knot, perhaps it was because Mia once brought him a heartbeat that was familiar yet slightly different, or perhaps, it was destined to have an indissoluble bond with vampires when he received the Moon Rider belt from Master Xuanjun—when this word was combined with Nikola's equally emerald green eyes, it formed an incomparable lethality to Snape, and his eyes started to become soft.

"This is of course good, Nick, I am very happy that you can think so." Snape said slowly, "However, the problem still needs to be solved, this is also to give you a better growth environment."

"Can you solve it?" Sirius was a little surprised, "Clearly you were the one who drove them out of the Wizarding World. I think it would be good if they didn't spit on you."

In front of his old rival, Snape couldn't help but want to show off. He snorted coldly and said unhurriedly: "The main goal of all parties is still the Focused Rainbow in Gilneas. However, vampires happen to lack intelligent leaders and super-wizard power, so even a slight involvement makes them overwhelmed."

"Then, there only needs to be an intelligent leader who holds super-wizard power to lead them out of the predicament. So, it is not difficult to understand that some people want to restart the Queen's plan, but the fact is, the Queen's plan has major loopholes, and it is impossible to succeed."

Harry pressed both hands on his cheeks. He didn't expect that absurd method could come true, and all that was needed was a sentence of "family."

"Very simple, why don't I become the King?" After finishing, Snape lifted his robe, revealing the dark red Moon Rider belt: this was originally the symbol of the Vampire King, and at the same time, it was also the super-wizard power that vampires had worked hard to seek but could not get.

Perhaps, the Moon Rider was not necessarily the symbol of the vampire royal family hundreds of years ago as the legend said. But even if this was a lie fabricated by Ge Xuan to fool Harry, after being retold by Gregorius, it already had a certain credibility among the vampire group. And, just like they were unwilling to doubt the feasibility of the Queen's plan, when a vampire discovered that he had never heard of the legend of the Moon Rider, he would only feel that he was ignorant, and would not doubt the authenticity of this legend—they were really too eager for super-wizard power.

Since the power contained in the Moon Rider itself was real, and undoubtedly, Snape himself was a person with great energy in the Wizarding World. In this way, the legend of 【Moon Rider as Vampire King】 must be real, otherwise, with what kind of jurisprudence should Snape take over the current mess of vampires?

And, to whom would Snape, who had no offspring, pass the power of the Moon Rider in the future? Was it Harry, the human wizard who looked down on other belts after having Grand Zi-O, or Nikola, the poor little vampire who lacked the ability to protect himself? This question seemed to be answerable without thinking.

Harry gently covered his mouth. He vaguely felt that there was a truly smart person in the blood clan who knew what to do to thoroughly walk out of the predicament. However, his step of calculating Snape was not too bad, because clearly Snape was moved and volunteered to help them, and these helps, to tell the truth, were just a piece of cake for him who backed the entire British Wizarding World.

"Great, you are the King of Werewolves, you are the King of Vampires, and I am a wanted criminal who misused my brother's identity." Sirius said sourly, "We all have a bright future."

Out of some sympathy for his godfather, and the idea of helping his godfather find a place, Harry, with a hint of mischief, smiled and said to Nikola: "Nick, you know you are the only vampire who can go to Hogwarts to learn magic, right? Do you know why this is?"

"Uh, because my father was a human wizard, and I have half wizard blood." Nikola answered very honestly.

"Then, our beloved Majesty Snape, who will he choose to be the next Vampire King? I am afraid I can't think of anyone other than you. This means..."

Harry paused on purpose to steal a glance at Snape's face, which started to become awkward, "You are the real Half-Blood Prince."
