Hogwarts: I've acquired the Father System

Page 224

Harry followed Ron and Hermione into the girls' bathroom.

His face showed a mixture of conflict and fear.

"Oh, Harry, don't be so cautious."

Think about it carefully. Snape didn't give you truth serum, nor did he take you to the trial room. How could he possibly know it was you?

Hermione said impatiently.

Because Harry has brought up this topic several times already.

This really annoyed her.

She became even more difficult to get along with, especially after she learned that Harry and his friends had caused Darren's injury and gone to Madam Pomfrey's infirmary.

"It will only take two weeks!"

Hermione threw the herbs she had obtained that day into the crucible.

She said somewhat irritably, "If it were Darren, he might be able to do a better job. I think if Darren were here, we might be able to improve the compound decoction."

"Yeah, and then make him live in constant fear?"

Ron used a phrase Hermione had once said, and was then glared at fiercely by Hermione.

"She's always so strange, I really don't understand what she's trying to do!"

After Ron and the others left the girls' bathroom, they whispered to Harry.

But Harry was still uneasy.

He felt that Snape knew they were the ones who did it, and that Snape would likely not let him off the hook!

Chapter 223 A Great Sacrifice!

A week has passed in the blink of an eye.

Darren thought the old sycophant would just keep dragging this on.

During his dinner that evening, he discovered that his lemonade contained a significant amount of "dead water".

Colorless and odorless sleeping pills.

It looked exactly like water; he wouldn't have noticed it if the system hadn't reminded him.

Then that night, Snape verified this in his dorm room.

Then the old sycophant cried for most of the night in his dorm room.

If Darren hadn't pretended to be under the influence of the Water of Life and Death, he would have had to keep pretending to be asleep.

He even remembered criticizing Snape for disturbing the peace.

But the power of bloodline is truly formidable.

When Snape left his dormitory, he carefully covered him with a blanket.

He looks just like a new dad.

Darren thought with a complicated expression, "So, I've become someone's child again."

This morning.

A parchment was posted in the Slytherin common room.

As Darren walked over, he heard Malfoy excitedly exclaim, "Duel Club! My God, let's learn dueling..."

Then Malfoy saw Darren and immediately changed his tune.

"Of course, I learned these things long ago. The education of the nobility is different from that of some people."

Just like some people can only pitifully drink lemonade, while I've already started drinking butterbeer!

As Malfoy spoke, he pulled out a bottle of butterbeer and waved it in front of Darren with a smug look on his face.

He said smugly, as if he had just seen Darren, "Oh, maybe some people will beg me, so I'll let some people have a taste!"

Darren pursed his lips, sensing Malfoy's naiveté.

He tried butterbeer, and how did it taste?

It's a beer with a caramel and cream flavor.

People who like to drink it might really like it.

Someone like him who doesn't like drinking it, after trying it once, felt he never wanted to see it again in his life.

So he simply shook his head politely and went straight to the parchment notice about the Duel Club.

We warmly welcome you!

He remembered that in the original story, this dueling club was apparently set up by Lockhart.

Harry also revealed Parseltongue in it.

eight pm.

Darren followed Cassandra and the others to the Great Hall.

All the tables and chairs have been moved away, and a large stage has appeared along one of the walls.

Hundreds of candles illuminated the stage.

"I wonder which professor it will be? I hope it's Professor Flitwick, or Professor Snape from our department; they are both very accomplished individuals!"

"Malfoy said excitedly."

Darren ignored him, he was looking at Gryffindor, and Harry was also looking for him. After spotting him, Harry waved at him, seemingly to let him come over.

Darren slipped away without a second thought.

Cassandra, standing behind him, glared at him but ultimately remained silent.

Even Malfoy stopped talking.

She even rolled her eyes.

They've clearly gotten used to Darren's behavior.

"Ah, my lovely children, it is I... it is I who have hosted such a great dueling club, I am your Professor Lockhart..."

Haha, I see the expectant looks in the eyes of many children. That's right, I am your favorite Lockhart.

You can find my description of the dueling club in "Me Who Has Magic," once upon a time...

Lockhart continued talking at length.

Harry and Ron immediately lost interest.

"So it was him. What bad luck!"

"elder brother!"

Darren gave Harry a disapproving look, clearly finding Harry very impolite.

Harry quickly added a respectful title to Lockhart.

"Oh, so it's this professor. What bad luck... Well, well, Darren, you can't really expect me to be respectful to him, can you?"

He never teaches anything in class, and I haven't learned anything from him. How could I possibly respect him?

Harry said angrily.

Quirrell wasn't a very good teacher last year... and Lockhart is the same this year. Why doesn't Dumbledore find some normal people to teach?

"I'm sorry, brother. I didn't consider your feelings. Indeed, Professor Lockhart is somewhat..."

[Ding, Fatherhood Value +100]

[Ding, Fatherhood Value +100]

[Ding, Fatherhood Value +100]

[bite…]

Before Darren could finish speaking, the full amount of Holy Father Points had already been credited to his account.

Clearly, Lockhart is someone no one likes.

When they heard that Darren didn't scold Lockhart, they thought Darren was a little saint. Darren didn't expect Lockhart to be so unpopular. He remembered that in the original story, at this time, some girls still liked him!

Hermione noticed Darren's confusion.

She said somewhat angrily, "A while ago, when you were on trial, Darren, Lockhart told everyone he met that if he were you, he would definitely make sure those Death Eaters never came back."

He also said you were too cowardly.

Then everyone got very angry, and in their anger, those who liked him because of his looks eventually gave up on him.

Well, that's something Lockhart would actually say.

But everyone's not stupid.

Outsiders might not know, but how could the students inside Hogwarts not know?
