Chapter 2: The New Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor

While it was embarrassing to have a would-be Hufflepuff Slytherin, it wasn't far enough to suspend the opening ceremony. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After everyone had sat down for dinner, Hogwarts' Headmaster, Mr. Dumbledore, began his New Year's speech:

"Welcome!" he scanned the room, making every young wizard feel his gaze pass over himβ€”Alan noticing that he had apparently paused for a moment on Anne, who had been persuaded by Alan to return to the Slytherin tableβ€”"Welcome to Hogwarts for the new school year! I have a few words to say to all of you,

First things first: first-year students should know that the Forbidden Forest in the hunting grounds is not allowed for students to enter.

Second, Mr. Filch, the Administrator, has asked me to remind you all that you are not allowed to cast magic in the hallways.

Finally, I would like to introduce our new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, a wizard adventurer from the East, Chen. ”

"What a strange name, Allen, have you heard of it?" Marshall, who was sitting on the other side of Allen, repeated the name in a strange accent - which made Alan desperately want to correct the strange pronunciation.

As Dumbledore's words fell, applause came from all sides of the Great Hall - although it was unknown how good the mysterious professor was at teaching, his magical background reminded everyone of it - especially since they had just undergone an exchange, and they were very curious about the knowledge of different magical civilizations.

Only after the applause had subsided a little did Dumbledore continue his speech.

"Well, it's not early, and it's important that you walk into class tomorrow morning feeling refreshed and clear-headed. Go to bed!

He sat down and turned his face to talk to the new professor, Chen. The cafeteria clicked and ping-pong, and the students stood up and flocked to the two open doors and into the foyer.

Alan didn't rush out, and took the opportunity to give Anne a final command, "Don't swallow your anger - when you're being bulliedβ€”"

"Just beat it back!" Allen was interrupted before he could finish his sentence, which made him very embarrassed - he had come to say that he had gone to the professor, but on second thought it seemed that Anne had chosen a good choice - and as far as he could tell, the new students could not beat Anne for the sake of conservatism。。。。。。

As for what was going on - he wasn't worried at all, Professor Snape was very kind to the students of his house despite his bad attitude - although Anne's behavior was a bit excessive, it was undeniable that she was a Slytherin now.

As for the others, the strong Slytherin won't think too highly of a freshman who can't beat a little girl in a face-to-face face - Anne is a pure-blood who has passed the Sorting Hat test, and she won't be born with a negative aura of favorability in Slytherin like Allen.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In fact, at noon on the second day, Alan realized that his worries were unfoundedβ€”there were already quite a few little Slytherins around Anne by now.

As Anne was running happily towards him, Alan suddenly noticed that the little ones had collectively cast hateful glances at himβ€”which made him wonder if those Slytherin second-class students would not hesitate to expose their own black history in order to deepen their hatred of him?

But he soon got the answer from the usual little Hufflepuff smitten eyesβ€”the welcome party of last night, with the strong support of the house-elves, had made Alan's name known to the freshmen.

The answer is simple, Annie, the Hufflepuff-minded Slytherin Jr., showed off her magical talent in the two morning classes - and that added a full twenty points to Slytherin!

This caused the Slytherins, who had decided to ostracize the new classmate yesterday, to change their stance - Professor Snape was said to have been smiling all the time at lunch.

Although this little Slytherin has a Hufflepuff heart, the bonus points and talent are real!

Therefore, the hatred for this new student was naturally placed on Allen, who tried to abduct a brilliant Slytherin。。。。。。

This caused countless magical creatures in Ellen's heart to gallop through the alpacas - he managed to reap such a high hatred rating on the first day of school!

After instructing Anne a few words, Alan brought Anne to the table - at this time there were only some desserts left on the table, and after getting Alan's permission, Anne was impatient to take a full plate, but had to obediently give up half of it under Alan's gaze - after the toothache, Alan did not allow her to eat dessert at will.

Allen, who had a black face, ate some dessert and paddled his stomach angrily--he had just seen the complaining gaze of his dean--while planning to wait to go to the kitchen to get something to eat, as for the afternoon, it seems that there is no class today, what should I do?

"Brother, how about we go to the library in the afternoon? I'm curious about the room full of magic books you mentioned!" A request from Anne interrupted Alan's thoughts, and gave him an afternoon to plan - no doubt he was in the library this afternoon.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

That night, the tower of Hogwarts.

The door to the Hufflepuff lounge was quietly openedβ€”not uncommon, as one of Hufflepuffs' favorite thing was to seek help from house-elves in the middle of the night when they were hungry.

However, the figure stepping out of the door did not go to the location of the painting that hid the entrance to the kitchen.

After a faint spell, the figure melted into the night and vanishedβ€”needless to say, it was Alan.

The skills of the Widowmaker made it as easy as having an invisibility cloak, and the same knowledge from the Master Assassin allowed him to make his steps feel less abrupt in the silent castle.

After crossing the moving stairs of Hogwarts, Alan soon found himself on the eighth floorβ€”stopping opposite a tapestry of a troll battering Barnabas.

Here, he will unravel the secrets that have plagued him for a whole summer - all the secrets of the mysterious golden tablet from the vampire.
