Hogwarts: I've acquired the Father System

Page 607

Darren suspected they might have concocted some more tragic scenarios for him. He shrugged.

Then I continued to eat my beef patty without being bothered.

However, when he encountered someone on the road, he immediately put the cake away.

The image of the little saint is a bit unappealing. It would be bad if the character's persona were to be ruined.

of course.

His action made Harry and the others even more upset. Fortunately, the first class was about to start.

They had no time to sympathize with him. This is the history of magic.

Professor Binns, the historian of magic, is very old.

His face was covered in wrinkles, and when he spoke, his breath was labored and his intonation was strained. Even Darren was starting to doze off in Professor Binns's class. For a full hour and a half, Professor Binns was lecturing on the War of the Giants.

Darren doubted that any other professor would have delivered the lecture in a captivating and epic manner.

But Professor Binns's lectures were so soothing they made you want to fall asleep. Luckily, Darren had an automatic writing quill.

In the evening, he let the quill pen do its homework by itself.

In Professor Binns' class, he placed his hand on a quill pen, and the quill pen moved as if he were writing.

In fact, even if he were asleep, no one would think he was sleeping.

Referring to his sleeping in divination class last year, which resulted in him being sent to the school clinic.

Anyway, no matter what.

Darren managed to get through the History of Magic class. The next class was Snape's Potions class.

Snape wore a mocking expression as he entered the Potions classroom.

"Before we begin our lesson today, I must remind you that we will be holding the Common Wizard Level Examination next June."

However, I must say that there are a few people in this class with very low intelligence.

Snape's gaze swept across Harry's face. Malfoy chuckled softly.

Harry clenched his fists.

"Of course, after this year, some of you may no longer be able to take my classes."

I will select the best students for my course next year; some, I feel, are no longer qualified to take my course.

It's a real shame that I have to say goodbye to them!

Snape expressed his regret.

In fact, he had a smile on his face.

It was clear they couldn't wait to get rid of certain people. Harry pretended not to hear.

Without a doubt, one of the people in this group is him. In fact, he doesn't want to see Snape either.

He found Snape utterly repulsive.

If he could, he would have loved to throw the crucible in Snape's face. They loathed each other.

I wish we could never have any contact in this lifetime.

Chapter 528 Acting?!

However, Harry's anger wasn't everyone's anger. For example, Hermione's.

She was sitting upright at this moment, seemingly preparing to choose the next stage of Potions learning from Snape.

This made Harry and Ron's eyes widen. They felt she was a bit of a traitor.

"So, today we're going to prepare a potion, a tranquilizer... If we don't prepare it properly, it'll turn into a sleeping potion..."

Snape glanced at Hermione, then looked away expressionlessly. He wrote the contents of the potion on the blackboard.

Then he gestured for them to get started.

Snape stood next to Darren for the first half of the lesson. He watched Darren leisurely toss some herbs into the pot.

Then that pot of thaw agent came to be in its most perfect form.

He said in a low voice, "Dumbledore thinks that you have to put on a show with me."

We must break with Potter; at the very least, you must show that you hate me to the core.

He sees this as a test for you!

Darren looked at him in astonishment.

He thought Dumbledore would have someone else take his place and act out a scene with Snape. Why did he make him do it himself?

"Dumbledore believes you must have some acting skills. If you can't even lie, the Dark Lord will probably laugh himself to death... Watch out, potions!"

Darren turned to look at his potion. The color was wrong.

He thought for a moment, then added a little more. Then he stirred it clockwise a few times.

Improved potions.

A gleam of pride flashed in Snape's eyes.

He helped Darren put the potion into the bottle.

Then he continued, "Anyway, I'll find a reason to put you in solitary confinement later."

Starting tonight, let's practice some of the performances that a breakup should have!

Darren felt it was utterly outrageous.

Snape taught him acting... Fine!

What else could he do? So he nodded.

Snape walked away from him.

He spent the rest of the class hovering around other students. Harry suffered the most verbal abuse.

Snape kept causing trouble for Harry.

One minute he'd say he didn't add herbs, the next he'd say he didn't stir. In short, Harry's already emptied several pots of potions. But in reality, there were many worse ones than Harry's.

Darren initially thought Snape was deliberately trying to cause trouble for Harry.

But when he discovered that Snape was spying on him while looking for Harry, he finally realized what was going on.

Snape was trying to provoke him with Harry.

This would achieve Snape's goal of putting him in solitary confinement. Darren understood this perfectly.

However, he outwardly pretended that he simply couldn't stand Snape bullying Harry, and anxiously stood up, saying, "Professor, I can teach my brother how to make potions, please don't do this..."

"Are you questioning me?"

Snape suddenly narrowed his eyes. Darren looked surprised. He quickly tried to explain.

But Snape coldly replied, "The famous Triwizard Tournament champion, I just remembered, you were involved in a brawl in Slytherin last year."

I said I'd spare you if you won the Triwizard Tournament trophy. But I think in the end, you and your brother Potter will be evenly matched, so you'll get a semester of detention!

"So, Darren Porter, what do you think of my punishment?"

"No, no..."

Darren looked enlightened.

He said somewhat awkwardly, "I have no objection..."

It looks exactly like the expression on someone's face when they're about to tell a lie.

Snape shook his head helplessly. He had originally wanted Darren to act more natural.

But once the child realizes that he is lying or telling a lie, he can't help but become like that.

The thought of teaching Darren acting, even to Snape, was somewhat daunting.

Can he really teach this kid acting? Of course, this isn't the time to think about that.

He sneered.

"Since little Potter believes his punishment is justified, then, a semester of confinement!"

He said it coldly, then announced the end of get out of class. Harry was furious.

He tried to reason with Snape, but Darren hadn't done anything wrong, which didn't help him except for losing twenty points.

"That idiot..."

Harry swore at something, but avoided Darren.

Even though Snape treated Darren like that, Darren did not lose respect for Snape.

He still called him Professor Snape.

This made Harry and his friends even more convinced that Darren must have suffered a lot of torment in Slytherin.
