It was obvious that Dumbledore didn't want anyone to spread the word about Darren Porter's condition.
Perhaps this was to prevent Mr. Nicolas Flamel, a member of the Wizengamot, from knowing what kind of torment his student was suffering.
For the sake of these poor parents and children, we absolutely need a high-ranking investigator!

Chapter 542 Is he overthinking it?!
"Shameless!"
Harry shouted angrily.
But he had no way to solve it.
Of course, besides that, he was also a little excited.
"I want Umbridge to cause trouble for Snape, so Snape won't have time to bother me!"
Harry told Ron secretly, without letting Darren hear.
He was afraid Darren would say he disrespected the professor.
Their first class this morning was History of Magic. The History of Magic course was taught by Professor Binns.
Harry and the others had expected Umbridge to audit Professor Binns's lessons, but she didn't.
Umbridge never attended Professor Binns' class.
Professor Binns, still looking as if he was about to die, finished the lecture in a dull manner.
After the History of Magic class came Potions class. Unfortunately, I wasn't called on in either of the two Potions classes.
Instead, Snape threw his homework in front of him. It had a clear "D" written on it.
Snape said sarcastically, "If you produce something like this in a regular wizarding exam, then this is your final score!"
Harry was furious.
But Snape didn't seem to have given up on mocking him.
After handing out the homework, Snape said sarcastically in class, "I think you are all people of normal intelligence."
But your assignments made me realize that my knowledge is still shallow, and some people's brains are full of mush.
If anyone gets a D on the next assignment, I think they should prepare to be put in solitary confinement!
"Has anyone else gotten a D?"
Malfoy wore an exaggerated expression of shock. He looked at Harry.
Clearly, he understood that this referred to Harry. This made Harry clench his fists.
He believed that Ron's was no better than his, but since he was the only one who got a D, Snape was targeting him.
"O represents excellent. Only one student in your class achieved this score."
E represents something beyond expectations; only one person in your class achieved this result.
A means passing; many people in your class got this grade. P means bad, terrible. D means awful.
I hope you will remember your grades and not become the kind of person who gets a D every time!
If I could, I'd really like to give someone a T (Team Leader). Yes, the Troll. His mind is like a troll's; it fills me with suspicion!
Snape mocked her vehemently in class.
To avoid getting another D on his grade, Harry made sure to see every step Snape wrote on the blackboard.
Although the cooking process wasn't entirely successful, at least the color was acceptable.
After all, Snape requested a sky-blue color, but the potion he produced was light blue.
"As long as you put your heart into it, you'll at least see results, right?"
As Hermione walked out of the classroom, she offered Harry a perfunctory word of comfort. Harry gave an awkward smile.
His gaze fell on Darren.
Darren's expression has become rather strange during Potions class. He's even stopped greeting Snape.
Although Darren still went to Snape's office for solitary confinement every day, he would come out somewhat annoyed each time he went.
He asked Darren, who always said that Snape was saying bad things about him and Dumbledore, which made him uncomfortable.
At first, Harry didn't think it was a big deal, and that Darren was overthinking it. But now, looking at Darren's condition, he began to wonder if Snape really had a problem.
"Darren?"
Harry asked worriedly.
Darren seemed to snap out of his daze at that moment.
He smiled and said, "It's nothing, I was just a little distracted."
This is what Snape taught him.
I don't expect him to act well, I just hope that he won't look at me or talk to me during class.
After class, just let him ponder for a while in front of Harry. Anything more complicated, Darren won't cooperate.
After all, Little Father couldn't possibly let others know that he was a particularly good actor, could he? So this was the best he could do.
This left Snape with no other option.
The only thing we can do is try to reduce the performative aspect of his acting.
Harry took the bait.
"Darren, do you still doubt that Snape is a good person?"
Harry said solemnly.
Darren was silent for a while, then shook his head helplessly and said, "I don't know either. Maybe I haven't been getting enough rest lately. I tend to overthink what other people say... Maybe I am indeed overthinking it."

[Ding...] "Still not sleeping well?"
Hermione asked worriedly. Darren nodded.
That's what Snape taught him.
Darren was always doing his homework late at night, which caused his dark circles to reappear, leading Snape to believe that he was starting to feel anxious again.
After failing to help Darren, he had Darren confront Hermione with this real reason.
That way, I won't have to lie.
After all, we can't just let Harry and the others know that Snape has a problem. We have to let them discover it themselves through conflict.
This way, Harry and the others will be completely convinced, and Voldemort will also be completely convinced.
Harry and his friends were indeed extremely worried.
They both believed that Snape had a problem and that Darren's feeling that Snape had a problem might be due to his physical condition.
In any case, they had completely fallen into Darren and Snape's plan. No, Snape's plan.
Darren, this little saint, doesn't admit that he came up with this idea; it was all Snape's independent thought.
He only raised one or two questions from the side. It wasn't really his business.
After lunch, Darren was taken to the school infirmary by Hermione and the others. They wanted Madam Pomfrey to prescribe some sleeping potion for Darren, but Madam Pomfrey refused.
She thought that either he should be hospitalized, or he should stop drinking those things all the time. She was worried that without her around, Darren would become addicted to those sleeping pills.
It would have been better not to give it to him in the first place.
Madam Pomfrey's words greatly disappointed Hermione and the others.
Of course, they also suggested that Darren stay in the hospital for a while, but Darren refused outright.
Why is he being hospitalized when he's perfectly healthy? Anyway...
That's not how you say it.
Darren looked worried and said in a low voice, "No, I can't be hospitalized. If I am, the Daily Prophet will definitely tell everyone that my brother and I have gone mad."
I can't cause any more trouble for my brother and Headmaster Dumbledore.
