Hogwarts: I've acquired the Father System

Page 601

You'd never guess he almost cried that day. Now he's acting all high and mighty again.

……

Darren's recovery and Harry's acquittal filled the house with smiles.

But they soon noticed that Blake was becoming increasingly melancholy.

With the start of the school year, Blake realized that he would likely be left alone in the house again.

He was different from the others; the others could come and go as they pleased, but he couldn't. He was still under criminal charges, and he couldn't leave the house even for a moment.

He probably hoped Darren would never get better, or that Harry would actually be expelled, so at least he would have someone to keep him company.

But he also knew that his thinking was wrong.

He sometimes felt guilty, sometimes panicked, and most of the time he was depressed. This made Harry and the others feel extremely distressed.

But they couldn't think of any way to help him.

Darren believed that if he captured Peter Pettigrew, Black might be exonerated.

However, his previous act of 'dying together' with Voldemort terrified everyone.

Mrs. Weasley thought he might need more rest; he was too young. Everyone agreed with this view.

So Darren got his wish and was finally free from knowing about the Order of the Phoenix's actions. But Dumbledore promised him that he would be found again if needed. Darren subconsciously ignored this, pretending not to hear it.

Harry and the others were happy that Darren wouldn't have to join the Order of the Phoenix anymore. They were also frightened by Darren's previous situation.

After Darren woke up, Hermione cried and told him that she had been having nightmares for days, thinking that Fred had run Darren over and killed him.

Fred was so frightened that he didn't speak for two or three days. He only returned to his usual lively self after Darren woke up.

But he also told Darren that he couldn't stand Darren going on missions anymore. Even horror movies wouldn't dare to portray it like that.

In short.

All these messy things finally dragged on until almost the start of the school year. An owl delivered the book list.

They only have two new books this year: *Standard Spells Level 5* and *Theory of Magical Defense*.

They began to speculate about who would be teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts.

And who is this fifth-year Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, that scoundrel?

Of course, as Darren looked at the book list, he noticed Ron staring incredulously at his palm.

There's a red and gold badge there. Prefect!

"My God, how could this be? What idiot would elect Ron as prefect?"

"Yes!"

Fred and George exclaimed in surprise...

522

Chapter 522 Class Leader!!

Ron became the male prefect of Gryffindor, and Hermione became the female prefect of Gryffindor.

Mrs. Weasley prepared a large meal to reward them. Darren noticed that Harry inevitably became somewhat disappointed.

After all, his two friends had become prefects, while he remained a regular student. Fortunately, Darren was like him; neither of them were prefects.

This gave Harry some comfort.

But what Darren didn't tell him was that a letter of intent from Slytherin's prefects was also sent with the letter.

If he were willing to become the prefect, he could simply sign it and it would become effective. However, he felt it was unnecessary.

Being a class monitor involves a lot of work.

In addition, he's a Slytherin who frequently travels to Gryffindor, so becoming a prefect is a bit of a challenge for the Slytherins.

Although Salazar Slytherin never appeared again after promising to send him knowledge of alchemy.

But Darren was still worried that he might suddenly come back to life.

He pointed to his prefectural chair and shouted "Foul!" But it could also be that he was happy.

After all, Salazars' Chamber of Secrets is in Gryffindor. Of course.

These are small things.

If he really wanted to be a prefect, he would do it even if Merlin were in charge.

But he hadn't wanted to be a class leader for 353 years, so how could he suddenly change his mind?

So he refused to sign the letter of intent.

Snape even sought him out at Mrs. Weasley's party celebrating Ron's appointment as prefect.

Darren refused, citing a persistent headache since his battle with Voldemort.

This statement greatly worried Snape. He never mentioned making Darren a prefect again.

But Darren suspects that what he might be thinking about now is how to help Darren recover from the aftereffects.

Mrs. Weasley was oblivious to Snape's worries. She was overjoyed.

Darren suspected that this was probably Mrs. Weasley's happiest moment of the summer.

Because this summer has been filled with bad news, there hasn't been a single happy thing.

Darren sighed. He was unusually a little embarrassed.

He probably really scared these people. Maybe he should behave himself for a while? Why not stop provoking them for the sake of his "holy father" points?

"What are you thinking about?"

It's Moody's voice.

Darren turned around and said with some emotion, "It's rare to see Mrs. Weasley so happy. There have been so few things that have made her happy this summer."

[Ding, Fatherhood Value +100]

"Isn't that normal?"

We are on the front lines, and life and death are always inevitable.

Even you are constantly facing death. Everyone has to be more open-minded. Let me show you something!

Moody pulled out a large photograph. The photograph showed a large group of people gathered together.

They waved to Darren or raised their glasses in a toast.

“This is Decathlon, this is Merlin… He died two weeks after taking the photos, at the hands of Death Eaters.”

This is the Longbottoms... Bellatrix and the others drove them crazy when we arrived...

Dumbledore never wanted you and Harry to join the Order of the Phoenix, especially you; he seemed to want you to stay out of it.

But I don't agree. He's getting old... someone always needs to keep up. Especially since Harry is Voldemort's nemesis, you'll definitely be implicated. It would be better for you to take control of the Order of the Phoenix, so he can better protect Harry. It's just that I haven't considered things thoroughly enough.

When I saw you return in such a terrible state, I realized you were just a child, and we had involved you in all of this far too early.

If you die that day, we will all be in pain and filled with guilt.

Because it was the address we gave you, and the place we went to first, we wanted to help you overcome your difficulties.

However, this attracted Voldemort, which led to your downfall.

...After that, Molly no longer agreed to let you join the Order of the Phoenix. She thought we should wait a little longer, and none of us objected.

Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief; clearly, he had wanted to say this for a long time… Darren, live well. Only by surviving can you be remembered.

Look at these people in the photo, how many of them would still remember them?

If you die, many years later, only Harry might occasionally remember what Moody said.

Darren initially thought he was reminiscing about the past. But as he listened, it turned into a psychological counseling session. Clearly, they were starting to think Luna was unreliable and were preparing to take matters into their own hands.

Darren felt dizzy and disoriented.

He finally nodded, made an excuse, and slipped away. Of course.

The main reason was that Mrs. Weasley had Moody use his prosthetic eye to see what was in a small cabinet upstairs.

They didn't dare open the cabinet while they were cleaning.

"Oh, it's a Boggart, quite powerful. Be careful when you deal with it."

“Great, that’s good. I’ll take advantage of this free time to clean it up, so that none of the kids will be scared if they open it.”

Mrs. Weasley chuckled, took a sip of her drink, and went upstairs. Then Darren heard her crying. He rushed upstairs, feigning alarm.

When I got there, I saw his body lying on the ground. Okay.

Moody's was referring to Bogut.

"What bad luck! To look like him!" Mrs. Weasley cried her heart out.

"Don't be afraid, madam, I'm here!"
