Peregrine Derrick

Peregrine Derrick (born c. 1977) was a student who began attending Hogwarts in 1988. Sorted into Slytherin, Derrick played as a Beater on the Slytherin Quidditch team, along with Lucian Bole, in the 1993–1994 school year.

Although there were no Quidditch matches at Hogwarts during the 1994–1995 school year because of the Triwizard Tournament, he held his position on the Slytherin team, at least nominally, until his graduation at the end of term. He and Bole were replaced by Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle at the start of the 1995–1996 school year. Angelina Johnson, the new captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, joked to her teammates that she was always shocked that Derrick and Bole were able to make it on to the Quidditch pitch without having to following signs.

Behind the scenes

 * This character is known only by his surname in the Harry Potter books. His first name is given as "Peregrine" in the video game Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup.
 * It is possible that Derrick is the Unidentified Slytherin Beater (II) seen in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (film), and then played from the 1991–1992 school year.

Etymology
The name "Peregrine" is from the Late Latin name Peregrinus, which meant "traveller". This was the name of several early saints.
