Chapter 22: Professors

The busy and fulfilling summer life finally came to an end on August 31.

In a tight month, Ranko walked around the library twice on the other two floors except the third floor, and after marking the locations of the books he hadn't read, he borrowed "Secrets of Cutting-Edge Black Magic" back from the library as a textbook.

"I don't need to specify textbooks, I don't think there will be any public sale of dark arts books."

On the grounds that there was no mass production of textbooks for the subject of black magic, he applied for this black magic book to be used as a teaching material.

Of course, the premise is to ensure that the students do not have too serious consequences because of the black arts.

Professor Dan Lin didn't want his school to have a lot of dark wizards with Killing Charms to split souls and make Horcruxes, which would only make Durmstrang famous...... Well, there shouldn't be much room for decline already.

But it still made Professor Dan Lin feel a little uneasy.

It's the same as when I saw Professor Malfoy with a pocket for armor that the North Tower could barely hold.

On the evening of August 31, Professor Malfoy met with several other professors from the North Tower.

In addition to the middle-aged uncle, Professor Harlenius, who teaches astronomy, there are Professor Robin Van Sent, who teaches the history of magic, Professor Carlos Merino who teaches Transfiguration, and Professor Lina Vega who teaches Herbal Medicine.

When the hour hand pointed to six o'clock, several professors arrived in the reception room of the East Tower, arranged by the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Dan Lin.

When Professor Harlenius and Professor Malfoy arrived at the East Tower, several other professors had already arrived, except for Professor Danlin, who was discussing matters with the Rector.

And Professor Harlenius, after a summer of running in with this new "neighbor", also roughly knows the character of Professor Malfoy.

Overall, just don't try to defeat the new professor of dark arts in the realm of magic. When it comes to this aspect, the other party will always become very serious...... Very seriously scary.

Even if he pulls the topic into his own area of expertise, Professor Malfoy can explore the mysteries of dark magic from the evolution of the stars. He can always turn academic discussions into large-scale scare scenes, and the scalp tingles from all kinds of classic cases of dark magic injuries.

But in some things, Professor Malfoy was also very generous. The alchemical artifacts of stargazing and some ingenious spells are always breathtaking.

Well, according to Professor Malfoy, this should be "the etiquette and refinement of purebloods", or "normal communication between wizards".

The East Tower, in the reception room where Ranko had originally come.

At this time, there was a long table that did not exist before, and on either side of the table sat several young and old people.

"This is Professor Ranko Malfoy, who will succeed Professor Rolaud in the new semester and will teach both the subjects of Dark Arts and Charms."

Once the two were seated, Professor Harlenius began to introduce his colleagues to the new Dark Arts Professor.

Professor Robin Vancent, who teaches the history of magic, is a middle-aged man. In contrast to Professor Harlenius's scruffy appearance, he has a thin face, a blood-red wizard's robe draped over his body, fingers crossed on his knees, and a smile on the corners of his mouth.

Well, full of the air of a liberal arts student.

The scholarly professor had apparently known about Professor Malfoy's arrival, and had no emotions other than curiosity about his youthful appearance.

Malfoy ...... The Malfoy of the Holy Twenty-Eight in England, I used to want to visit the old pure-blood family in England, but I couldn't find the time. ”

"England won't let you down, Professor Van Sent."

The corners of Professor Malfoy's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't smile.

He looked at the man sitting next to the mild-mannered man, Professor Vancente, a man in his early thirties with a hooked nose and an extremely aggressive and aggressive appearance.

He stared straight at Ranko, wearing a Muggle tracksuit that didn't fit in with wizards' usual outfits. Without saying a word, it looks like it will explode and hurt people at any time, and that look is uncomfortable.

"Professor Merino is a very strange wizard."

For the professor of the Transfiguration class, Professor Harlenius used a small trick to gossip about Ranko very covertly.

"It is said that he was once imprisoned in a wizarding prison for a period of time for using the Diamond Heart Charm on his teacher. It was only after the Merino family's blackbox operation that he was sent to Durmstrong. ”

Ranko understood, and this professor is also a relational household.

The Merino family is a well-known pure-blood family in Norway, and most of its members serve in the Ministry of Magic. And in the most glorious era, the ministers and deputy ministers of the Ministry of Magic all had a certain blood connection with this family.

At that time, the Norwegian Ministry of Magic once became a hall of the Merino family, and this situation continued until sixty or seventy years ago, when the rise of Grindelwald and the appearance of saints, as well as some reasons that could not be publicized to the outside world, the Merino family, whose influence on the Norwegian Ministry of Magic was weakening, had to gradually fade out of the stage of history.

Of course, the emaciated camel is still bigger than the horse. Even with a significant weakening of control over the Ministry of Magic, the Merino family is still quite influential.

Even if Professor Danlin considered the connection between the school and the Norwegian Ministry of Magic, he could only accept the existence of this relation.

However, although they are related households, they can still make do with the past, otherwise the transformation class is likely to be taught more than one lesson, which will not offend the Merino family, and will not slow down the progress of the students.

Ranko looked away from Professor Merino's gaze, and suddenly vaguely noticed something on the other's chest.

It is a symbol of triangles, circles, and straight lines.

"Professor Merino is a wizard who worships Grindelwald?"

In the same vein, Professor Malfoy secretly asked Professor Harlenius about this.

"Grindelwald?"

Professor Haronius was stunned, and then his face fell.

"Wasn't that Dark Lord defeated by Mr. Dumbledore a long time ago, admirer ......"

He thought about it carefully and smiled bitterly in his heart:

"I don't know, he doesn't communicate with anyone at all...... Perhaps Professor Van Sent knows something, but their dormitories are close to each other, and we are the only professors who have crossed paths with him on weekdays, except for the vice president...... Even the students don't like him, and the rate is close to that of our principal. ”

Professor Malfoy ignored Professor Harlenius' complaints, nodded, and then turned to look at the last professor, Professor Lina Vega, who was in charge of herbalism.

Professor Vega was the only woman in the group, and she looked quite old, but she still looked quite young.

"Nice to meet you, Professor Malfoy."

As if sensing Ranko's gaze, Professor Vega bowed his head slightly, even if he had said hello.

After skimming through Durmstrang's teaching configuration, Professor Malfoy withdrew his gaze, leaned his height, lowered his head, and began to fiddle with his phoenix eggs.

When will you hatch yourself out, if you don't come out, I'm going to stew you and eat phoenix eggs.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Ranko felt the phoenix egg in his hand suddenly tremble.
