Harry Potter: Dark Alchemy

Wright was still completely unaware of everything that happened in the Potions classroom on the basement floor. After all, he had his own lessons to learn.

Yes, although there is no change in the second-year courses compared to the first-year courses, there is still a slight change in the time arrangement.

The second-year timetable sent by Prefect Penello (yes, she became the prefect of Ravenclaw's fifth-year girl) on Sunday night showed that except for one less flying lesson, all other courses were Nothing has changed.

It's just that the Charms and Transfiguration classes have been moved from two periods a week to three, the Defense Against the Dark Arts class has been moved from Tuesday to Monday morning, and the two Potions classes have been moved to Thursday afternoon. Other astronomy classes and history of magic classes also have their own time changes.

The herbal medicine class is still three times a week, but the class time has also changed to the second morning period of three consecutive days from Tuesday to Thursday. I don’t know what other students think of this class arrangement, but Wright’s appetite becomes very bad every lunch time from Tuesday to Thursday.

After all, not everyone is in the mood to eat a big meal after dealing with a pile of dragon dung!

However, precisely because of this change, Wright had already attended the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the second grade as early as the first official day of class, which was Monday.

As usual, in recent decades, the school's Defense Against the Dark Arts professors have changed every year, so every year a batch of students can be the first to experience the teaching capabilities of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors in the new school year.

During the first period of school every year, many students always place bets to guess the strength of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors that year. This kind of lottery-like activity is quite popular among students. of.

However, before Professor Derwent, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors every year were without exception very bad. Teachers like Professor Derwent were still too rare. So in previous years, the banker always won the bet. Last year, the student who was the banker lost all his money.

This year, it was the second-year students of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff who first experienced Professor Quirrell's teaching ability.

There is no doubt that last year's Professor Derwent effortlessly succeeded in capturing the popularity of most students. At Sunday's opening party, Wright also heard from students that Professor Devont, who had left Hogwarts, was touring the world with his new play: "Eternal Titans."

From time to time, students will talk about the character called "Thanos" played by Professor Devonte.

It goes without saying how Wright's expression was distorted at that time.

Anyway, compared to Professor Derwent, who performed extremely well last year, the second-year Ravenclaw students are naturally looking forward to having a successful Defense Against the Dark Arts class this year.

And it just so happened that the professor who taught this course this year was a senior who graduated from Ravenclaw College, so before entering the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom on the third floor, the Ravenclaw eaglets kept looking aside. of Badgers described how they were looking forward to the course.

But it is a pity that although Quirrell was still a very good professor when he taught Muggle Studies for third-year students and above last year, he was indeed a very good Ravenclaw graduate.

But as early as the first half of this year, when Professor Quirrell traveled to the forests of Albania, he had been confused and possessed by Voldemort's remnant soul. In the past few months when he was possessed by Voldemort, Professor Quirrell had been bearing a huge burden both physically and mentally.

Especially now that Professor Quirrell is still carrying the remnant soul of Voldemort and hanging around under the nose of his archenemy Dumbledore all day long, the psychological pressure he is under is conceivable.

So the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the new school year almost became a big joke, and the classroom was filled with a strong smell of garlic. After investigation, the students quickly discovered that the smell came from Professor Quirrell's headscarf.

When questioned and asked by the students, Professor Quirrell stammered that his turban was a gift from an African prince when he traveled to Africa. Professor Quirrell also said that the prince gave him a lot of gold and silver as a thank you for helping him get rid of the entanglement of the resurrected zombies.

But looking at the expressions of the students in the classroom, no one really believed the story told by Professor Quirrell.

The little eagles who walked into the classroom with high expectations no longer dared to look at the expressions of the little badgers next to them.

After the bell rang, the students walked out of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom filled with disappointment. After only one class, the students can roughly judge that this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts class is not expected, and they should hope that someone as reliable as Professor Derwent will come to the school next year!

However, when Wright saw the big purple scarf on Professor Quirrell's head at the Sunday dinner, he no longer had any expectations for him. So when other students walked out of the classroom with expressions of disappointment and frustration, the dull expression on Wright's face became an outlier.

"Wright, aren't you disappointed with Professor Quirrell?" Chang Chu looked at Wright strangely.

After hearing Chang Chu's words, the students who were walking with them all stopped and looked at Wright. They also wanted to see what the best among them thought of this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

"Um." Wright suddenly realized that except for himself, the other students were more or less looking forward to this year's new professor.

But Wright couldn't say that he knew what was going on with Professor Quirrell, so he put on such an expression.

Wright scratched his head and tried his best to find a reason: "I met Professor Quirrell who suddenly became like this in the Leaky Cauldron during the summer vacation. It was also at that time that I discovered that his level could be Not as high as we thought.”

"Okay," Eddie, who was in the dormitory next to Wright, said with a look of disgust, "I thought Professor Quirrell would perform well, but I didn't expect it to be like this. It seems that this year our Defense Against the Dark Arts The art class has been cancelled, let’s wait until next year.”

Wright reached out and patted Eddie on the shoulder. Poor kid, you still won't learn anything even next year.

Next year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is also a Ravenclaw graduate, but compared to Lockhart's current level, it's hard to tell who is better than Quirrell.
