Hogwarts: I've acquired the Father System

Page 208

Because the boy wouldn't speak so formally, even to any professor in the castle.

He would scratch his head sheepishly, then give an embarrassed smile.

Instead of treating him like he did, not even bothering to offer a glance.

"It's good that you know, otherwise Professor Flitwick would be crying!"

Snape couldn't help but say sarcastically.

"Yes, thank you for reminding me, Professor."

Darren reiterated his official statement.

Harry noticed that Snape was almost furious.

But he had absolutely no idea what was wrong with Snape.

Darren didn't yell at Snape like he did, so what did Snape have to be angry about?

Fortunately, other people appeared at that moment and interrupted Snape's anger.

"Potter, look! There are two Potters!"

"The one with the scar on his head is Harry Potter, and the other one who's really good-looking is Darren Potter. I've seen him in the photo box."

"You were able to see Darren Porter's real face through the holographic ball. His face was covered in blood and his body was covered in wounds. I couldn't bear to look."

"I don't dare to look either, but someone really needs to read it so we can write the newspaper!"

They not only talked, but some even came up to greet Darren and Harry.

Harry was worried they would frighten Darren.

After all, their expressions made it seem like they were going to interrogate Darren for three days and three nights.

Fortunately, Snape's stern face worked.

Many wizards thought Snape was a wizard they were not to be trifled with, so most of them hesitated and retreated.

"Dumbledore, you've come!"

Fudge walked over from a distance and said insincerely.

Then his gaze swept past Harry and landed on Darren.

Did you read my letter from yesterday?

Darren looked timid.

He said in a low voice, "I saw it..."

"So do you know what to do?"

His tone was somewhat harsh, clearly indicating that he was angry at Darren's lack of cooperation yesterday.

Darren chuckled inwardly.

Judging from Fudge's tone, it would be strange if he didn't cause trouble today!

"Connelly, are you threatening Darren?"

Dumbledore said in a somewhat unpleasant tone.

He didn't want Darren to have his will to live stirred up yesterday, only to have it destroyed by Fudge.

"I'm doing this for your own good, Dumbledore, you understand!"

Fudge said with a chuckle, then glanced at Darren before walking straight ahead.

After taking a few steps, he turned back and saw Darren and Dumbledore standing still. He said in an admonishing tone, "I expect to see you in the courtroom within ten minutes. Don't be late; many people are waiting!"

Harry was a little annoyed, but he still turned around to comfort Darren: "It's okay, he can't control Hogwarts. Headmaster Dumbledore is... the most powerful!"

"right…"

Darren said absentmindedly.

A conflicted expression appeared on his face, as if he was still hiding many things.

Harry noticed his expression and thought he was frightened by Fudge. He was about to say a few more words to comfort him when Dumbledore waved his hand and said, "Alright, children, that's enough. We really need to get to the courtroom right away... Darren, Flamel is here too, don't be afraid!"

Lemaître?

Nicolas Flamel?

Isn't he French?

How can they possibly interfere in British affairs?

“Oh, child, you know that the longer you live, the more identities you acquire. Lema is an honorary member of Wizengamo, he is qualified to be here, it’s just that he has never been here before.”

Dumbledore noticed Darren's confusion and explained with a smile.

Then he looked at Snape and said, "Severus, you wait outside. I'll call you if I need you, though I hope not, but..."

"Humph!"

Snape snorted a hum.

Harry suddenly realized with horror that if Dumbledore took Darren into the courtroom for the trial, then he would have to wait outside with Snape.

“Oh, Harry, you have to go in too. You're Darren's family member, and they need your presence this time. If there are any necessary circumstances, they'll need your permission.”

Chapter 209: What is being suspected?!

Harry's face immediately lit up with joy.

He was happy as long as he wasn't outside with Snape.

As for the unexpected situation Dumbledore mentioned, he could guess a bit: if Darren really didn't cooperate in the end, he would still need to use the Truth Potion.

According to the Ministry of Magic's regulations, the use of Truth Potion does indeed require the presence of a family member.

"Then, let's go!"

Dumbledore said.

Then he walked at the front, striding towards the courtroom.

Harry nervously rubbed his hands together.

This place is full of important people, many of whom he had only seen in books.

As soon as Darren entered, a stern-looking wizard led him directly to the chair in the center of the courtroom.

Harry wanted to go too, but Dumbledore stopped him.

"Harry, your spot is over here."

The jury reserved a seat for Dumbledore this time, with the family members sitting next to him.

Following Dumbledore's directions, Harry sat down in the family section.

He discovered that there were already more than forty people sitting there.

They were all adult male and female witches.

They had stern faces and looked extremely serious.

Harry also heard some of them whispering something.

He eavesdropped for a moment and only caught a few words: "No...truth serum...refuse..."

Although he only heard those three words, Harry roughly understood that these people meant they would absolutely not use Truth Potion.

He turned away in disgust.

He suddenly realized that some people were even worse than Malfoy!

At least Malfoy didn't intend to kill Darren.

Of course, it's also possible that Malfoy didn't dare.

Malfoy would probably be so scared of Death Eaters that he'd run to his father.

Harry laughed.

Then he turned his gaze to Dumbledore.

He discovered that Dumbledore was sitting at the very front of the Wizengamot jury.

Next to him was an old man with white hair.

This old man is very old.

Harry had seen him.

He is Nicolas Flamel.

He once said that Darren should be his successor.

This time, they might be here to help Darren.

Harry felt much relieved instantly.
