So, the year 2000? (hp x tr)

look at that professor!

The sorting finished with the last child being from the Zabini family. Merlin, nothing's changed.

Dippet stood up; "Hello students, i hope you are all well! I hope you had a good summer and that you are all ready to work hard this year." Dipped looked at each table, smiling at all their faces.

"This year, we have a change in faculty. Professor Merrythot took her well-deserved retirement over summer and shall not be returning to teach this year. So, with that, I welcome your new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor; Professor Hadrian Peverell."

Hadrian stood up, bowed, and smiled.

The girls among the tables whispered between themselves, look at that professor!

Tom observed him too. He was quite pleasing to look at, he had to admit. He was tall, with dark hair, those intriguing green eyes, and quite a good build.

He sat down, what a shame. The students had to stop ogling at their new defence teacher...

"Now, please remember, Old Jacks, the care taker, reminds you all to abide by his rules, and no going into the Forbidden Forest! It's forbidden for a good reason... Now! enjoy your feast!" Dipped finished off happily.
