Hogwarts: I've acquired the Father System

Page 284

But Darren shook his head.

Of course he has to go; how else can he complete the missions?

How can I farm Holy Father Points if I don't go?

So he said in a low voice, "Brother, let me go? Every time I close my eyes, I think about how useless I am..."

I even considered putting something on myself so I could lie there like Hermione!

[bite…]

Harry and Ron were initially unwilling.

But upon hearing him say that, she immediately agreed to his request.

However, they still said worriedly, "Darren, do you need to go to the school infirmary to see Madam Pomfrey? You're more worrying than Hermione and the others right now!"

"Yeah, look at your face. You look even worse than Hermione these past few days. Don't put so much pressure on yourself."

They spoke with concern.

Darren tried his best to smile.

He said gently, "I'm sorry to have worried you and Ron, but I'm fine."

Pale face is normal; I was just lying to you earlier.

I know what's important. How could I possibly take the blame for Hermione, Justin, and Nick's situation? I'd completely forgotten..."

[bite…]

His last sentence was barely audible, as if he hadn't said it at all, even though he spoke very loudly...

Harry tried to point out the problem, only to find that Darren's eyes were even redder.

"It's alright, it's alright. Your brother told you to come with them, don't worry, they'll all be fine..."

Harry offered words of comfort with concern.

Then I realized that my attempts to comfort you were completely useless.

Because even Darren's smile is forced.

He tried his best to make them think that he was much better.

He has indeed grown up a bit.

In first grade, I couldn't lie at all, but now I can lie fluently.

He was clearly heartbroken, but he pretended to be happy.

Darren, in this state, he didn't even want to see his pretense. If only he could be as obedient as the first-year students, letting them see his emotions.

Even if he were sitting here crying right now, it would be better than this.

"Look, Scarface is bullying his brother here!"

Malfoy's voice interrupted Harry.

Darren frowned, stood up, and said angrily, "Malfoy, my brother didn't bully me!"

"Hmph, if you're not being bullied, you're not being bullied. I don't care at all..."

By the way, as you know, Dumbledore was driven out.

My dad said Dumbledore was the worst headmaster in the school's history, and he's finally gone…

Darren was about to say something to showcase his saintly aura.

Then they saw Snape walking towards them from a distance.

He gave Darren a serious look before casually glancing at Harry's face.

Then, as if remembering something, he said sarcastically, "The famous Harry Potter still hasn't found the culprit of the attack. It seems that being famous doesn't necessarily mean being useful..."

"professor!"

Darren interrupted Snape.

He pursed his lips, clearly feeling that arguing with the professor was inappropriate, but he still said earnestly, "My brother has no obligation to find that snake. He was a savior, but we all know he's only a second-year student!"

Chapter 275 He Wants to Be the Principal Too?!

Darren's words made Harry smugly smile.

Although what Snape said earlier did make him angry.

But when he heard Darren, his brother, defend him, he was overjoyed.

However, Snape was clearly unhappy.

He seemed to remember something and said with some disdain, "Someone still remembers that he is a second-year student. I thought he was about to graduate or a professor at this school."

Otherwise, how could he pin all the attacks on himself?

For a moment, Harry almost wanted to agree with what Snape said.

However, Snape added, "Do you think you deserve responsibility for those attacks?"

His tone was sarcastic.

Harry was furious.

He knew that Snape had never said a kind word to either of them.

"How can Darren not be good enough? He's the best student in this school..."

Snape seemed to only then notice Harry.

He narrowed his eyes, his lips moved slightly, and he seemed to mutter something.

Then he said sarcastically, "Ha, the famous Harry Potter can't catch the attackers, but he's here arguing with his poor Potions professor."

Gryffindor deducted twenty points because of your arrogance!

Darren almost burst out laughing at Snape's smug expression.

Sure enough, Snape's joy came from making things difficult for Harry.

"Professor, I heard that Dumbledore left and Professor McGonagall's position as principal is only temporary. Why don't you call to apply for the principal's position?"

If you apply, I will definitely vote for you!

Draco Malfoy, unwilling to be left out, spoke excitedly.

Snape's face instantly lit up with joy.

Believe it or not, he actually came to be on par with Dumbledore one day.

Imagine how comfortable it would be for Dumbledore if he were really driven away.

He might be able to openly take care of Darren at school, and incidentally teach Harry Potter a lesson that would drive him to despair.

However, this is just wishful thinking.

Dumbledore's presence did indeed stabilize the entire school in this era.

With Dumbledore gone, the entire school is in a state of panic.

He could only follow Darren around almost all day.

Whether they appear directly or remain invisible.

He was always worried that something might suddenly happen to him.

However, he could only follow Darren when he was outside.

If Darren returns to his dorm or to the Gryffindor common room, he will leave.

Since Darren's dorm room was exposed last time, anyone he approves of can enter.

Another student was subjected to a soul-stealing curse, just so that a door key could be placed in his possession.

Snape has reinstalled Darren's door.
