Hogwarts: I've acquired the Father System

Page 196

This is a velvet chair; it looks much more comfortable.

Darren was extremely envious.

He wanted to sit here too.

Dumbledore misunderstood his expression, thinking Darren was afraid.

So he placed his hand on Darren's head.

No one can force you!

His voice was full of power.

Darren felt that if it were Harry, he would be much happier and safer at this moment, but for him, the little saint, it was a different story.

My only thought is, what if touching my head makes me grow shorter?

Of course, he couldn't say it out loud.

As a little saint.

Even if he doesn't show the same happy, excited, and reassured expression as Harry, he should at least behave himself, right?

Darren tried his best to smile, but his face didn't show much security; instead, it showed more self-abandonment.

This made Dumbledore's heart skip a beat.

He suddenly remembered Arthur's anxious expression when he looked for him earlier.

He arrived right on time, so in order not to be late, he didn't listen to Arthur finish speaking.

He thought Arthur was going to say he wanted to help Darren.

They didn't take it to heart at all.

Darren has been a victim throughout this whole affair. As long as he insists that he didn't kill anyone or do anything wrong, it's just a formality.

Fudge was just trying to annoy him; the case was a foregone conclusion, but he completely disregarded Darren's feelings.

This child has always been so kind. After seeing so many students die in front of him, he might very well blame himself for it all.

When Dumbledore first heard the student's description of the scene, he was almost unable to control his emotions.

Darren, a kind man, couldn't imagine how the child felt in that situation.

His heart leaped into his throat when he heard the Slytherin student say that Darren had knelt before the Death Eaters to save people.

That child must have been in terrible pain at that time.

Of course, because he had seen too much death over the years, he mainly wanted to teach Fudge a lesson and make him behave himself.

But I never expected that he could face death so calmly, but this child is different.

This was the first time he had faced such a scene, and it was also the first time he had truly faced a battlefield.

It's perfectly normal for him to give up on himself like this.

Many people would do this, but this child is just exceptionally kind.

But this isn't a normal trial; it's Fudge making things difficult for us!

Dumbledore frowned deeply.

Fudge had no idea what Dumbledore was thinking.

He only saw Dumbledore frowning and assumed that Dumbledore was really unhappy with him.

I was extremely nervous.

He tried his best to maintain his dignity.

But listening to the people behind him whispering because Dumbledore was frowning, he couldn't help but feel annoyed, angry, and a little regretful.

of course.

He can't back down now.

This is just a trial.

There is no evidence that he was making things difficult for Dumbledore.

Thinking about it this way, he gradually regained some calm.

So he pulled a piece of paper from a pile of documents and said, “Interrogation, yes, we need to know what happened. Darren, you go first!”

Fudge said with ill intent.

He looked at the boy in front of him with some sympathy.

Oh, kind child!

You give Dumbledore a difficult problem!

"No, I object!"

However, Dumbledore objected to his suggestion.

"Dumbledore, you..."

"Well, I think since this is an interrogation, perhaps we could try... truth serum?"

Dumbledore leaned back in his chair.

He saw Darren looking at him blankly, but there was no anger in his eyes, only worry.

Dumbledore realized that he wasn't worried about himself, but rather about the students.

He suddenly had some even more absurd guesses: could those students have done something even more outrageous than cooperating with the Death Eaters?

His body was trembling slightly; the evil of human nature was manifested perfectly in this group of students.

P.S.: The protagonist will soon be able to complete Filch's long-term mission.

He will receive a superior bloodline. I've also done a poll in the comments section and on the PC webpage; you can check it out.

It will be over in about three days.

Hufflepuff and Slytherin each have one vote.

Chapter 198 (Abridged Version) - The Photo Ball!

For a moment, Dumbledore even wanted to ask more carefully what those people had done to Darren.

Why are those people afraid to speak out, and why is Darren unwilling to let anyone know?

But he refrained from asking.

If Fudge had agreed to use the truth serum, then he could have asked those questions at that time. If Fudge hadn't agreed to use the truth serum, he wouldn't have been able to get those questions out of Darren now.

"Impossible, Dumbledore! How could you say such a thing? Using Truth Potion on a student? How could you even bring yourself to say that?"

Fudge looked shocked.

Actually, I was extremely happy.

Unexpectedly, Dumbledore came up with this method to exonerate Darren.

"Everyone is equal before the law. This matter has had a huge impact, and I believe that any method is acceptable."

I'm sure you've all faced inquiries from the parents of those nine students.

Currently, we have a lot of blank information, such as who exactly those Death Eaters were, and why no Death Eaters were left at the scene.

And how did those Death Eaters get into Hogwarts?

How did Flint connect with those Death Eaters?

And so on. Don't we all want to know these things?

After these past few days of questioning, have you gotten the answers to these questions?

Therefore, I believe it is necessary to use Truth Potion. The Potions professor at Hogwarts is a master at making Truth Potion.

"Maybe we can get some information from him so we can hear more about what these students are hiding?"

After Dumbledore finished speaking with a smile, he looked at Darren.

I wanted to get some information from Darren's eyes.

But he didn't see anything, and instead heard objections from the students.

"No, we can't use truth serum!"

"Yes, that kind of thing has been abolished!"

"That's right, if you want to know, we'll tell you everything we know, but we can't use truth serum!"

"We have the right to reject this proposal!"

"protest!"

The anxious look on these people's faces further convinced Dumbledore that they were hiding something.

He even considered Legilimency, but hesitated and didn't do it.
