Harry Potter: Dark Alchemy Chapter 27: New Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts

　　 "Please don't call me that, Dumbledore." The big purple bald head first frowned and said coldly, but he couldn't help laughing almost the next second.

　　 He smiled and touched his bright head, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that he didn’t dislike Dumbledore’s name to him just now, "Although I don’t care what you called me just now, but that name It’s easy to make me feel that I’m still a comedian performing in a drama club, not a respectable Hogwarts professor."

　　 "Sorry, Derwent." Dumbledore also gave him a bright smile, "I just think the atmosphere in the hall just now is too rigid, I can't help but want to make a joke and relax."

　　 The big purple bald head spread his hands indifferently.

　　 "Allow me to re-introduce your Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher this school year," Dumbledore clapped his hands, then cleared his throat, "Professor Derwent Simplin."

　　 Generally speaking, every time Dumbledore introduces the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor to everyone, everyone will politely applaud and welcome, after all, they don't know how long this teacher can do. But in any case, those who can come to Hogwarts as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts are the true warriors in the wizarding world! It is worthy of the students' respect for them.

　　 But now, apart from Dumbledore and Hagrid, no teacher or student applauded. After Dumbledore and Hagrid slapped a few chins, he also put down his hands dryly.

　　 "What's wrong? Everyone? Are you dissatisfied with your new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor?" Dumbledore asked everyone.

　　 "How is it possible!" It was the Weasley twins of Gryffindor who broke the silence in the hall. Those students from the Muggle world may not be familiar with Derwent Simplin, but how could children who grew up in a wizarding family like them didn't know Derwent!

　　 "Is he really Derwent Simplin?" one of the twins exclaimed. Wright can't tell who is Fred and who is George. He only knows that Professor McGonagall was there just now. Before leaving, he should have kindly lifted the silent curse cast on the Weasley brothers.

　　 "The greatest comedian in the wizarding world?" another asked loudly.

　　 "Of course it is him!" Dumbledore nodded affirmatively, and Derwent also smiled and waved to everyone in cooperation.

　　 The heavy atmosphere that had been shrouded in the hall since Derwent entered the door was suddenly broken. Almost every child from a wizard’s family was cheering and screaming, and students from the Muggle world shouted at them. Asking about everything about Derwent.

　　 "He's really Derwent! It's really him!" a senior boy with freckles on his face laughed.

　　 "Of course it will be him! Is there anyone other than him in the wizarding world who has that kind of skin color?" Another brown-haired girl frowned her eyebrows, but she soon stretched out.

　　 "It is rumored that Professor Derwent lost a bet with others, and then ate the whole poisonous tentacle. It is also because of this that his skin became like that." Penello sitting next to Changchu Krivat also smiled and joined the heated discussion among the surrounding students. She had already introduced her name to Wright and Chang Chu during the meal just now.

　　 "Senior sister, are you sure he ate the poisonous tentacles instead of the thorn melon, right?" Wright, who became cold and sweaty as soon as he entered the hall, asked Penello with a solemn face. .

　　 "Yes, everyone said that his skin color turned purple because he ate the poisonous tentacles, and this incident was clearly recorded on the chocolate frog card." Penello nodded first, but then immediately He looked at Wright with some confusion, "But Wright, what is the thorn-horned melon you just mentioned? Did you find any magical plants yourself?"

　　 "No, that's not a magical plant in the wizarding world." Wright wiped the sweat from his forehead. "The thorn-horned melon is a common fruit native to the Kalahari desert in Africa. I just wrote it in the book I've seen this word before, so I asked."

　　 Penello blinked faintly. Although she was born in Muggle, she still hadn’t heard of this fruit from Africa.

　　 "Senior sister, one more thing." Wright asked again, "Why did the principal call Professor Derwent Thanos just now?"

　　 "I don't know, I have never heard of this name." Penello shook his head, "Perhaps it is the name of the character in Professor Derwent's new play."

　　 After answering Wright’s two questions, Penello quickly joined the discussion between another group of students.

　　 "Wright, you seem to be afraid of the purple potato monster named Derwent." Changchu suddenly leaned next to Wright and whispered, her voice was full of girl-specific narrowing.

　　"No, I'm not afraid of him. What I care about is another person who looks like him. But at the beginning, it is best not to call others purple sweet potato monsters. Not only is it impolite, but the most important thing is to have the same name as someone else. "Wright's mood at this time has completely relaxed. The reason he was frightened just now was just because Derwent's dress and skin color were too much like a person.

　　The eternal Titan, the overlord of the universe, the director of the Marvel World Family Planning Committee...A series of titles are placed on the man named Thanos~IndoMTL.com~Of course, Wright is more familiar with his nickname, Thanos. (There are rumors that at first it seemed to be called Die Shi Bawang? However, after the abbreviation, people felt that Thanos’ deterrence was a bit more powerful, so Thanos was gradually promoted...)

　　 "Oh, you are afraid of Professor Derwent." Chang Chu said.

　　 "...whatever you say." Wright did not make any unnecessary excuses. He had done enough attempts in six years of elementary school!

　　 "Okay, it's late now. Although tomorrow is Sunday, you have no class, but the teachers need to prepare for you." Dumbledore interrupted the discussion in the hall with great interest. Students, "It’s bedtime, everyone, go back to bed! Hurry up!"

　　The students sitting at the long table got up one after another, and there was a ring of ping-pong in the restaurant.

　　Wright and Chang Chu went to the common room in Ravenclaw with Penello.

　　 Ravenclaw’s common room is at the top of a tower in the castle, and there is an eagle-shaped bronze knocker on the door of the lounge. Whenever someone wants to enter the common room, they can only be allowed to enter if they answer the questions of the bronze eagle correctly.

　　 After the students gathered at the entrance of the lounge were quiet, a fifth-grade male prefect stretched out his hand and knocked on the door.

　　 The bronze eagle knocker on the door opened his mouth to speak, not with a chirp, but with a gentle, musical voice:

　　"The person who invented it didn't want it, the person who bought it didn't need it, and the person who needed it didn't know it."

　　 "The answer is the coffin." The male leader thought for a while, then replied.

　　 "The answer is correct."

　　 After the voice said, the door of the common room opened suddenly.
