Although the word "going home" makes me uneasy, I really want to say, Professor McGonagall, can you please stop scaring us with such a perverse sense of humor?
Back at Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall was just a minor incident; our focus was more on how Darren killed the basilisk.
Although I know the plot of the original book, I think that Darren's involvement is not so simple.
Then I stood not far from Harry as he was telling his story to others.
I was fortunate enough to listen to the whole thing.
When I saw Harry's reddened eyes, and the tears streaming down the faces of others, all I wanted to say was, Darren, you're a real dog!
You've managed to make a simple Flame Curse look so fancy. It involves self-immolation and phoenix rebirth.
Really...
"They probably made a fortune, right?" I muttered as I left.
Halfway there, I touched the corner of my eye; there were no tears.
So I touched the corner of my mouth, and I realized I could barely control the curve of my lips. He really... really is an interesting person!
Of course.
Besides Darren, Lockhart was the only one who attracted attention at school.
Lockhart heard that he was paralyzed.
Only one eye could move. The word "one-eyed dragon" immediately came to my mind.
But I also feel that it doesn't respect disabled people.
Actually, I quite like Lockhart; after all, he's handsome.
I quite like this kind of handsome middle-aged man.
I've always felt that Lockhart is quite intimidating as long as he doesn't speak or take out his wand.
Such a good person, it's a pity they have a mouth.
So, why did he end up like that?
In Harry's account, Lockhart accidentally looked into the basilisk's eyes, and Darren tried to save him but failed, at least managing to save his life.
But I don't think so.
He left Lockhart with one movable eye; was that really not that guy's revenge?
I secretly thought about it, but then I realized there was nothing wrong with it.
After all, that guy did offend someone.
Who told him to lack the ability yet still act so recklessly?
Darren isn't a good person; it would be strange if he let others off the hook.
You should know that of the dozen or so Slytherin students before, nine died, and the remaining six all went to Azkaban.
Although it was meant to vent my anger, it also indirectly shows that he is not a saint.
Holding the Holy Father System, yet not a Little Holy Father, this must have been quite a challenge for him. I shook my head and gave Professor Mungo Lockhart, who was paralyzed in St. Mungo Lockhart, a pair of glasses.
After all, Professor Lockhart will only be able to use his eyes from now on.
A few days after returning to school.
These heated discussions gradually faded away.
It's not that we forget things quickly, it's just that the exam is coming up soon.
God knows why so many things have happened, and we still have exams this year.
I didn't study much this year either; for the rest of the time, Hannah and I studied almost day and night.
We were both almost going crazy.
When we finally finished our last exam, I felt like I'd rather just lie here with Lockhart.
At least I don't have to study anymore.
Moreover, if I were to become like that, most Death Eaters probably wouldn't bother to lay a hand on me.
But then I thought I should just forget it. After all, my parents might think I'm a disgrace and might take me home and tear me apart.
Almost in the blink of an eye, I received my report card.
As I expected, it's still below average.
Hannah has improved.
She reached the middle to upper reaches.
She looked puzzled when she saw my report card.
"I remember you could do a lot of the questions, didn't you?"
Yeah, that's why I didn't do it!
I shrugged and told her that I have test anxiety; I get scared during exams, and that fear affects my grades…
Hannah believed her.
She looked at me with a sorrowful expression, as if I were the most pitiful child in the world.
I complained about her strange gaze, and she said she felt sorry for me.
Hey, I'm getting sympathy!
……summer vacation.
I saw my new younger brother.
The new brother is still young.
His parents named him Kraftflin.
For some reason, I thought of Karkarov.
Of course, I immediately put that name aside.
I gently touched Kraft's soft little face with the back of my hand.
"Mommy, he's so soft!"
I said stupidly.
A hint of sigh appeared in my mother's eyes as she looked at me.
I guess they want to say I'm stupid, or that they think I'm dumb.
After all, without my brother Conte, I would likely become the sole heir to the Flynn family.
And now with Kraft, I'm still just a tool for marriage alliances.
But I don't care.
I prefer Kraft to Conte.
I only realized that the Flynn family had Eastern noble blood, though only a little, but that was enough. It looks a bit like me from my previous life.
I'm willing to give even a little bit of my affection for your looks.
Besides praising Kraft, I would also hug him and kiss his little face right under my parents' noses.
But this only applies when they are around; when they are not around, I must keep my distance from Kraft.
After all, they would suspect my intentions.
It's not uncommon for older sisters to kill their younger brothers for inheritance rights, and house-elves wouldn't want me to get close to Kraft when my parents aren't around.
I'm not that tactless.
I actually prefer to stay in my room, whether it's reading or practicing spells.
I don't want to do those things under their suspicious gaze.
Even if I like Kraft a lot, I know he'll grow up to look like Conte.
After all, in his parents' eyes, Conte is the best heir.
Unfortunately, that heir offended someone he shouldn't have; he ended up in Azkaban, and they had a younger son. Conte was now a thing of the past...

Chapter 815 Extra Chapter—I Died!
I received the news during the summer vacation.
Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban.
I learned about this from the Daily Prophet.
When my father saw me reading the article again, he mercifully told me that Sirius Black might have been wronged.
After all these years, none of the Death Eaters in Azkaban have ever mentioned that Sirius Black was one of their accomplices.
"He betrayed the Black family for James Potter, so how could he betray James Potter for Mysterio?"
