Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dreden, from the Dresden Files
Mr "The building was on fire and it wasn't my fault", Wizard of Chicago, magical right hand thug of Winter, Dad of a small girl and a spirit of intellect, owner of a temple foo dog and a perfectly normal cat, etc. Has canonically fought vampires of the "black court" which are similar to Dracula. Has met the Dresden Files version of Dracula and survived barely.
Survivability will change according to where you are in the series, so let's say at the current book Battlegrounds. If you like, compare with him at the beginning of the series, Storm Front.
"Survived, barely" I think is Harry Dresden's whole mode of being.
I think the question here is going to be less "will Dracula kill Harry" and more "can Dracula kill Harry." Like of course Dracula wants to kill him. Everyone wants to kill Harry Dresden all the time and they're usually right. He aggros vampires on purpose because he is, if you'll pardon the expression, A Little Shit.
Yeah I was gonna say by Dresden Files rules we probably wanna say Dracula is Black Court? I am going to admit right now that I haven't read the books but I have designed a homebrew Sentinels of the Multiverse villain deck around them so I am broadly conversant with them. I've been told the wildest stuff. Santa Claus is there.
(I have seen the TV series but this is about the books)
The thing is... Harry Dresden is protected six ways from Sunday. He has every anti-vampire measure and he knows how to weaponize the rules of hospitality. He'll find some way that Dracula can't harm him while he's a guest in his home, and use that technicality to be an insufferable brat. He's owed favors by tons of ridiculously powerful entities that would love to see him dead. He's a whole wizard, and, unlike some, actually pretty good at it. He's the Winter Knight (is he still after the whole ghost thing?? I can't keep track?) which has got to do something.
And like, he's got that Jim Kirk sex appeal, rendered all the more inexplicable by the fact that he's fundamentally scrungly. For no reason that I've ever been able to determine (again, it might be more clear if I actually read the books), hot immortal women keep sacrificing themselves for him. It would be entirely in character for one or more of the Girlies to be his ex who hates his guts - but then ends up sacrificing herself for him anyway.
I think mechanically Harry should be able in principle to be just fine, BUT because this is Harry "born to suffer" Dresden he will find ways to make trouble for himself and everyone around him. He's creative like that.
......honestly now I want to put Harry Dresden and Harry DuBois in a room together and see what happens. Someone who knows these guys better than I do get on that.
Anyway I don't think it's a Dresden File unless Harry gets beaten within an inch of his life at least in part due to his own poor life choices.
So in all likelihood Harry Dresden, Wizard of Chicago, can survive Castle Dracula. But, as you say, Barely.

My sexuality is 'fictional men who shouldn't even have the stamina for a fuck because they have Had a Day and look like they have been put through the wringer'. Possibly even been found in a dumpster.

She frowned at me. "You need some rest. You look like hell. And you're obviously tired enough to have gotten the giggles."
"Wizards don't giggle," I said, hardly able to speak. "This is cackling."

Morgan: Do you want to know how I actually hurt my wrist?
Harry: Yes.
Morgan: *pulls out some Polaroids* I was hula-hooping. Luccio and I attend a class for fitness and for fun.
Harry: Oh my God.
Morgan: I've mastered all the moves. The pizza toss, the tornado, the scorpion, the oopsie-doodle...
Harry: Why are you telling me this?
Morgan: Because no one...will ever believe you. *he pulls out a lighter and sets them all aflame*
Harry: *literally enraged* You sick son of a bitch.
