Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor Peter

Chapter 1 Tri-Power Cup and Two New Professors

Today is the first day of school, and the Hogwarts auditorium not far away is full of people, and a man and a woman are walking quickly through the aisle outside the auditorium.

"Mr. Peddy, have you ever killed someone when you were undercover under the mysterious man?"

"No." Peter replied perfunctorily with a stern face, and his steps accelerated.

Rita Skeeter's automatic quill immediately began to write long texts, and it was obvious that it did not record Peter's words faithfully.

"You know what? Many people think that you should be imprisoned in Azkaban instead of playing a narcissistic, pathological, and pretentious war hero." Rita Skeeter chased after her and said aggressively.

Peter narrowed his eyes, frowned, and stopped.

He'd had enough of Rita Skeeter and her hit "biography" Peter Peddyway: Crimes and Lies Beneath Legend.

Peter lowered his voice and said, "Oh, really? I only know that illegal Animagus are going to enter Azkaban."

For a moment, Rita Skeeter's complexion could be described as rich.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Peter quickly threw her away and walked into the auditorium through a small door.

The banquet has already started, the auditorium is full of fragrance, the resplendent dining table is full of delicacies, and the students and teachers are feasting.

Peter slid towards the teacher's table as unobtrusively as possible, and Dumbledore rose to shake his hand.

"After so many years, we finally meet again! Peter, I heard that you have been traveling abroad all these years." Dumbledore shook his hand and smiled enthusiastically.

"Nice to meet you, too, Professor Dumbledore. Yes, I have been doing research in America since the war."

"Great, I read your paper published on "Transfiguration Today", it is simply exquisite..."

Suddenly, Dumbledore's face darkened, and he said in a low voice, "Peter, I know that you went to a foreign country to avoid revenge. This time, you are willing to risk such a risk to come back. I am really touched."

"I'm always available if you need me. And I think you've probably heard something about—"

Peter's voice was getting lower and lower, and he looked around to make sure that no one was overhearing.

"That's right," Dumbledore nodded seriously, "about Voldemort."

Three years ago, Voldemort successfully stole the Sorcerer's Stone, and now he is carrying out some kind of secret but not completely traceless operation. Dumbledore must have sensed some hints of conspiracy.

Therefore, Dumbledore hopes to have a [-]% trustworthy partner by his side, and Peter is undoubtedly the best candidate.

So in the first half of this year, Peter received a letter in which Dumbledore sincerely invited him to be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

He agreed without thinking, the real Gryffindor would never back down at the most critical moment.

After the brief exchange of pleasantries, Dumbledore politely invited Peter to sit in a chair next to Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall was also extremely enthusiastic when he saw Peter, endlessly pulling golden plates full of dishes towards him.

Peter noticed that there was an empty seat on the other side of Professor McGonagall. He wondered in his heart which teacher was not present, but he was embarrassed to crane his neck to observe.

Finally, the desserts were also swept away, and the students were almost finished eating.

Dumbledore stood up again, and the hum of speech in the Great Hall stopped abruptly.

"Okay!" Dumbledore said with a smile, "I'm going to make some announcements."

"First of all, Mr. Filch wants me to tell you that the number of prohibited items in the castle has increased to 430 items this year. For details, you can go to Mr. Filch's office to check."

"In addition, I want to tell you one more thing. The Ministry of Magic has decided that this school year will restart the Triwizard Tournament that has been suspended for more than 100 years!"

With a buzzing sound, there was a burst of excited discussion in the auditorium.

"At that time, the Goblet of Fire will select a warrior for each school to participate in the competition. For the safety of the players, the participating schools and the Ministry of Magic unanimously decided that only students over the age of 17 can be selected as warriors."

Excitement turned to disappointment at once, and the Weasley twins hissed.

Dumbledore pretended not to hear the discordant voices, and continued: "Students Durmstrang and Beauxbatons will join us in October this year, and I hope everyone will be warm and friendly."

"Next, I want to announce the personnel changes for this school year. I am honored to invite the famous Professor Peter Pedillo as our Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher!"

Hearing his name, Peter stood up and waved to everyone gracefully.

There was silence in the auditorium at first, as if the students couldn't believe that Peter, the hero who saved the world, would become their teacher, and then a gust of applause almost knocked off the ceiling!
Peter saw Harry among the students, and Harry wanted to jump on the table to applaud Peter, waving desperately to him.

Peter sat down and winked at Harry.

Suddenly, with a bang, the main entrance of the auditorium was pushed open.

A man in black and a hood walked in.

The atmosphere in the auditorium froze instantly.

The man in black slid past the students' tables, carefully avoiding the fire, his cloak fluttering behind him, making him look like an overgrown bat.

All eyes were on him, and everyone was puzzled, only Dumbledore looked calm.

The man in black walked straight to the teacher's seat and stopped in front of Dumbledore.After a perfunctory handshake with Dumbledore, he turned to the students.

Dumbledore continued in a relaxed tone: "Besides Professor Peddie, there is another personnel change this school year."

"I regret to inform you that Professor Slughorn has advanced in age and has decided to retire."

"Therefore, allow me to introduce our new Potions Professor, and Acting Head of Slytherin House—"

"Severus Snape!"

Hearing this name, Peter's brain went blank.

Snape took off his hood and bowed.

There was no sound in the auditorium, and the students all gasped.

In the candlelight, Peter was horrified to see his side face clearly, it was a face that was damaged beyond repair.This face was pale in color, the skin and muscles seemed to have been torn off, and then grew back in a distorted way, the scars on the cheeks were deep enough to show the bones.

Not only his face, but his neck was also scarred, and the left hand half hidden under the sleeve seemed to be incomplete, all of which made him unrecognizable.

But Peter recognized the greasy black hair, the high hooked nose, and the cold black eyes.

"Impossible!" cried Peter inwardly, "I saw with my own eyes..."

In 1976, at the Shrieking Shack, Severus Snape is dead!
