Even though he was so tired he could barely stand, he still wanted to do something.
"Professor...Professor...how are you?"
He spoke haltingly.
His tone was weak and listless.
She looked like she was about to faint at any moment.
Lockhart blinked hard.
He meant to say that he was very bad.
It seems like he can only move one eye.
But he couldn't say it.
He could only use one eye to glare angrily at Darren.
Darren seemed to understand.
He placed his hand on Lockhart's head again.
[System, make him stay like this from now on, the kind that even Merlin's presence makes things difficult. How many Saintly Points do I need?]
[Ding, 2000 Holy Father Points required. Deduct now?]
Hey!
[Deduct]
Darren secretly grinned.
He simply lowered his head to cover it up.
He still acted as if he wanted to treat Lockhart again.
This time, no matter how hard he tried, it was no use; he seemed unable to make Lockhart better.
"I...Professor, I don't think I can use that ability anymore..."
Darren spoke in a panic.
He seemed to be pushing himself to the limit.
But it was completely useless.
"Professor, wait for me, I'll go find someone to rescue you right away..."
Darren tried to stand up and go outside, but he couldn't seem to get up at all.
He had barely managed to stand up when he collapsed onto Lockhart's face.
"Professor...I...I can't stand up...I can't save you."
Professor…try to see if you can stand up by yourself…Professor…

[bite…]
Darren's eyes turned even redder.
He slumped down next to Lockhart, his eyes red, trying to get Lockhart to his feet.
Lockhart's one movable eye looked at him with fury.
It seems they think he did it on purpose.
Darren gave Lockhart a wicked grin when he got close.
However, when she looked up, her beautiful green eyes were already filled with mist.
"Professor...it was my fault. I should have spoken louder. It would have been even better if my hand hadn't left your head."
[Ding, Fatherhood Value +100]
[Ding, Fatherhood Value +100]
[Ding, Fatherhood Value +100]
[bite…]
Darren spoke weakly.
He looked like he was about to cry at any moment.
In stark contrast to him was Lockhart's gaze.
He looked at Darren with eyes that were almost filled with hatred.
Darren's expression just now proved that he did it on purpose.
If he could still move and speak, he would definitely pick up his wand and beat Darren, that sixth brother, to death...
Darren looked into his eyes, and his face grew even paler.
He wanted to say something, but after several attempts, he still couldn't stand up and could only turn his head away with red eyes.
"Professor, it should be almost done, I should be ready soon..."
I'm probably just exhausted... Maybe I can try again and see if I can heal you.
[Ding, Fatherhood Value +100]
[Ding, Fatherhood Value +100]
[Ding, Fatherhood Value +100]
[bite…]
Darren tried to speak in a cheerful voice.
But his eyes were filled with deep sorrow.
Clearly, he himself didn't quite believe that he could really save Lockhart.
It could be one minute, or it could be ten minutes.
Despite Darren's dismissive efforts, Lockhart finally stood up after his face was swollen from being hit.
He waved his wand, seemingly trying to take Lockhart away.
But before he could take Lockhart away, Harry and Ron finally walked in from outside.
They seemed to have just noticed Darren, and their faces lit up with surprise.
"Darren, what's wrong with you...?"
Harry asked, somewhat feigning concern.
He and Ron had actually been following Darren the whole time.
They saw Lockhart threatening Darren.
I also saw the scene where Lockhart was almost killed.
They even saw Lockhart's resentful look at Darren after he was saved.
Just as Darren collapsed to the ground, Harry was about to remove the Invisibility Cloak to help him.
But Ron suspected that if they showed up now, Darren's kindness would surely urge them to send Lockhart to St. Mungo's as soon as possible.
How could they possibly want this to happen, for Lockhart to wake up and turn on Darren?
He figured Lockhart wasn't dead anyway, so it would be fine if he stayed like this from now on.
So he and Ron decided to wait a while before coming back.
Ron said that even at St. Mungo's, if you arrive too late, it might delay your treatment.
In order to delay Lockhart's treatment, the two of them wandered around the area for several more minutes.
After discovering that Darren could stand up, he immediately took off his invisibility cloak and revealed himself. After all, if he didn't come out soon, Darren himself would have left with Lockhart.
"Darren, how are you?"
Harry looked at Darren with concern.
Although he had seen it before, Darren was fine this time.
Just as Darren said, he was completely exhausted.
But he was still worried.
After all, he had just heard Darren say that he couldn't use some of his abilities.
"elder brother…"
Darren's eyes reddened again when he saw Harry.
Harry almost choked up instantly.
Since Darren arrived at Hogwarts, he hasn't had a single day of peace.
