Chapter 228: Do you want to be a vampire?

The explosive news that some of Salazar Slytherin's descendants became vampires would have shocked the entire wizarding world.

Ivan didn't know what others would think.

But knowing Voldemort, the latter would never tolerate the existence of these vampires who tarnished Slytherin's reputation.

He was the only Slytherin descendant and he was unique.

If there were other Slytherin descendants, then he would be nothing special.

No wonder that after Voldemort's second ascension, no vampires had joined his campaign. This certainly had something to do with it.

It seemed to Ivan that fate was really quite wonderful - who would have thought that the descendants of Slytherin would become vampires...?

At that moment, thinking about fate, Ivan suddenly thought about what the girl had just said.

She had mentioned that the person who would help her family in the prophecy would carry with him a sample of Salazar Slytherin to prove his identity.

Ivan realized that the Slytherin locket was on him at that moment. The person mentioned in the prophecy wouldn't be him, would it?

Looking at this kitten-like girl in front of him, Ivan had a feeling that he was going to be involved in something strange.

Vampires are stronger than ordinary wizards, and even they couldn't solve his dilemma. Ivan was very skeptical about what he could do to help with his own strength.

"Since you know the wand, you should believe me now...," The girl suddenly stopped and seemed to realize something. There was a trace of doubt in her red eyes. She looked at Ivan intently. "Wait a minute, even within our family; the wand left by Salazar himself is a secret. how do you know?"

The short wand in her hand immediately pointed at Ivan, as if silently threatening him.

In fact, when it came to magic, Ivan was more afraid of her coming to bite him. With the two sharp canine teeth in her mouth, a bite must be very painful.

"This..." he muttered, "You know, Slytherin was one of the four founders of Hogwarts. There's a portrait of him in the school with a wand."

In fact, besides the two statues of Slytherin in the Chamber of Secrets, Hogwarts had no statues or portraits associated with him. But Ivan couldn't tell the girl that he had once returned to Hogwarts a thousand years ago and met Slytherin. It was impossible for anyone to believe this kind of unbelievable stuff.

The more he explained the strange situation, the more careful he had to be, especially when faced with a vampire girl coming to bite him.

Ivan explained vaguely, and the girl nodded when she heard him.

"I also wanted to go to Hogwarts to study. I hear it's the greatest magic school in Europe." The girl's husky voice sounded a little disappointed, "I got the Hogwarts admission letter from the owl last year. But my uncle didn't agree with me going there. He said wizards were all evil. If they knew my identity, they would kill me..."

Ivan realized that the girl was the same age as he was.

However, the things he was worried about were absolutely impossible. With Dumbledore's character, if he knew that a vampire was coming to Hogwarts for school, he would definitely give her extra privileges and care, just as he had been treating Hagrid and Professor Lupin.

Especially considering her identity as a direct descendant of Slytherin, she would be even more valuable and play an unexpected role in the fight against Voldemort.

However, going to Hogwarts is not mandatory.

Under the influence of magical items left behind by Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, every young wizarding 11-year-old will receive a notice of admission to Hogwarts, but whether or not they come to the school is entirely up to their personal desires.

There are many old pure-blooded wizarding families who, following their inherited educational philosophy, choose to train their children within the family rather than send them to Hogwarts.

There are also some Muggles who do not believe in the existence of magic.

Therefore, after Voldemort came to power, he ordered all young wizards of the appropriate age to go to Hogwarts to school. His purpose was not only to more conveniently train black wizards, but also to fundamentally eliminate Muggle-born wizards.

Looking at the girl's face, Ivan knew she wanted him to tell her about Hogwarts.

However, Ivan thought it through, and felt it best that he get straight to the point and tell her that he had the Slytherin medallion on him as soon as possible. It was not a pleasant experience to be tied up on the cold ground on a cold winter's night.

"You just said that the person mentioned in your family's prophecy will be carrying a sample of Salazar Slytherin with them as proof." Ivan said slowly, "Actually, I have one on me right now. The Slytherin locket is on me."

After Ivan finished, the girl did not respond.

Her burgundy eyes looked at him confused, as if she didn't know what he was talking about.

"Did you hear me? I have the Slytherin locket." Ivan repeated it again, saying helplessly, "If your family's prophecy is true, I could be the one you seek, and what is meant to be..."

"Are you the one I'm looking for?!" It took a few seconds for the girl to realize what Ivan had said, and she shouted, "Where is that locket?"

Her voice was full of surprise. She got up from the ground trembling.

The next second, she lost her balance from overexertion, and fell on top of him.

"It hurts!"

Because of the pain, Ivan also took a breath of fresh air.

His head ached and he looked at the girl who was as clumsy as a kitten. Suddenly, Ivan had a bad feeling.

Was it too impulsive for him to say something about the locket? At the very least, he should first listen to the difficulties he would encounter before making a decision. If it was too complicated and dangerous, he still had room to refuse, unlike now.

Under Ivan's guidance, the girl took the Slytherin locket from around her neck.

She looked carefully at the locket, especially the top one, which was inlaid with emeralds, with an S in the shape of a snake.

Then he looked up again and gazed silently at Ivan, who wondered what he was thinking.

"Do you believe me now?" said Ivan.

"This medallion is real. It is indeed the item left by Salazar Slytherin. I can feel the magic in it, like the magic in the wand he left behind." The girl continued to look at Ivan, "But I doubt you are the person mentioned in the prophecy!"

"Why?" Ivan was surprised.

"It's very simple. You're too weak to be him. You can't even duel. How can you help the family resist those guys? My uncle is very strong and he's no opponent for them," the girl said.

Looking at the girl's serious look, Ivan was speechless.

He was belittled by this girl. He had decided to tell the story of the reliquary tale. Who would have thought that the girl would simply despise him?

"I just lost to you because I was too careless!" said Ivan. "Still, how many people do you think are going to run with what Salazar Slytherin has left behind?"

"Very well!" The girl nodded as if agreeing with Ivan. She walked up to him, almost to his face, and said earnestly, "I believe in arranging fate. Since it's you, do you want to be a vampire, I can give you the First Embrace, you will feel absolutely no pain!"
