Hogwarts: I've acquired the Father System

Page 438

Then, just as they were about to relax and wait, they saw Dumbledore and Fudge return from outside the castle.

Dumbledore and his companions chatted and laughed as they passed through the area with ease.

Then they left.

"What do you think? Should we stop Dumbledore?"

Harry asked quickly.

"Impossible. If you stop Dumbledore, Fudge will come along too."

Then they'll discover that we used a time-changer and that we also saved Buckbeak.

Most importantly, they won't listen to our explanations; they'll just throw a killing curse at Blake!

Hermione said mockingly.

She thought Harry was incredibly childish.

Darren would never ask such a silly question!

“We don’t need to bring Fudge…”

Harry argued.

"Look, Remus is here!"

Just as they were arguing, Darren interrupted them.

They saw Lupin running quickly towards them from a distance.

Then he leaned down and looked at Harry's Invisibility Cloak.

He seemed to have confirmed something.

Then, he picked up a twig from the ground and poked the scar on the willow branch.

He left through the passageway beneath the Willow Tree.

"If only he took the Invisibility Cloak away, then Snape wouldn't have an Invisibility Cloak to use!"

Harry said angrily.

Then he came up with an idea.

"I'm going to take the Invisibility Cloak away, so Snape won't have to use it..."

He was about to rush out, but a song interrupted him.

It's Hagrid.

Hagrid came over singing and carrying a wine jug.

Hermione grabbed Harry's clothes and snapped angrily, "Enough! Can't you just stop causing trouble? If anyone finds out we're here, we're all doomed."

We cannot stay here now, and if we interrupt what is happening in the past, we will not be able to know the future.

Our time will be thrown into chaos!

Hermione was furious.

Harry was still a little unwilling.

He waited for Hagrid to leave, yet he was also eager to try.

But Snape had already arrived.

He quickly appeared at the place where the man-beating willow was.

He picked up the invisibility cloak.

"Damn it! If it weren't for him, Sirius Black would have been exonerated!"

“But brother, Professor Snape didn’t know those things; he just wanted revenge.”

If he weren't so eager for revenge, you wouldn't have been able to harm him at all.

[Ding, Fatherhood Value +10]

[Ding, Fatherhood Value +10]

Very low Father Value.

Snape remains unpopular.

"Desperate for revenge? How could that be?"

Harry could hardly imagine how eager Snape would be for revenge.

“I don’t know either, but I think he cares a lot about our parents. Remus said that Dad once stopped him… Maybe at that time, although he hated Dad, he also formed a deep friendship with him?”

[Ding, Fatherhood Value +20]

[Ding, Fatherhood Value +10]

It's still a very low Fatherhood value.

Harry and Hermione simply cannot imagine what it would be like for Snape and James to form a friendship.

But regardless of whether Snape and James can forge a deep friendship, all they can do now is wait and see.

Because everyone went inside.

They could only wait outside for the results.

Hermione tied Buckbeak to the tree.

She sat down under the tree and, as if remembering something, finally asked Darren.

"Darren, do you think Blake really threw you away because of your weirdness?"

This is something she still can't quite understand.

Harry turned to look at her blankly.

"What else could it be besides this reason? It couldn't be that he discovered Darren was related to Voldemort, could it?"

His joking remark almost made Darren think he had traveled back from the finale of the series.

Thankfully, Harry was just joking.

Hermione quickly shook her head and said, "Of course that's not what I meant. I know Darren definitely has nothing to do with Voldemort. I was just thinking..."

"Mr. Black, did he really hand Darren over to the Death Eaters just because of his strangeness...? We all know that Darren would only face death in the hands of the Death Eaters. Didn't he consider that?"

Hermione's words made Harry's expression turn somewhat unpleasant.

He pursed his lips.

They seemed unable to offer any rebuttal.

He had never understood so clearly before that Blake had truly wanted Darren dead.

[Ding, detecting a scene where the Holy Father System is in action around the host, a temporary task is now issued:]

Tell Harry and Hermione in a gentle tone that you don't care about this.

Even if Blake really did do such a thing, it only means that Blake loves your parents, and you are fortunate to have him as a family member.

[Ding! Mission completed, reward: Kreacher's Respect. Would you like to accept the mission?]

Kreacher?

The house-elf in Black's house?

[Receive]

Darren immediately clicked to accept.

It was just a matter of a few words! So he looked at Harry.

His lips curled up, revealing a gentle and bright smile.

"Don't be like that, brother. I'm not sad. On the contrary, I was happy and honored when I heard Blake say the news."

As soon as he finished speaking, Darren saw the shocked expressions on Harry and Hermione's faces.

They probably think he's crazy.

It's a miracle Blake wasn't angry; he was actually happy and honored.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm really happy..."

Sirius did this for your safety, your mom and dad's safety; he wanted you all to be safe and sound.

He loved his parents very much, and he did this for them. I think Sirius regretted it after he did it.

He has been staying in Azkaban to atone for his sins, and I think that no matter how big a mistake he made against me, he should be forgiven now.

And your brother, Sirius was your godfather. I know he must have felt a little embarrassed at the time and didn't want to talk about it.

But I want you to know that you also have a godfather, brother, and you also have family members besides me.

That way, even if I really die in the future, I think you won't be too sad. Darren smiled like a saint.

Harry burst into tears.

"Don't talk nonsense, don't say silly things. You'll always be my brother, you're irreplaceable..."
