Hogwarts: I've acquired the Father System

Page 400

But her return came with conditions.

The school must ensure her safety.

So the school hired a few more dwarfs in the corridor. They carried big sticks and spoke very loudly.

They saw everyone as a bad person.

Ron became a celebrity overnight.

Because Darren was reluctant to describe what happened that night, everyone would ask Ron for details.

He was overjoyed and told everyone what had happened over and over again.

"...I suddenly woke up because I saw Blake looking me over at my bedside."

He didn't see that I was awake. He turned around and slashed Darren's bed with a knife again... I think I saw his ferocious smile. He must have been overjoyed.

He could kill Darren with one blow… I don’t know where I got the courage, but I screamed loudly, and then he ran away…”

Ron told everyone the story.

However, he was also very puzzled in private.

"Why didn't he kill me back then?"

Darren was clearly drunk; he remained disoriented after waking up and even fell into a deep sleep at Professor McGonagall's.

If Blake had killed him then, he wouldn't have been able to resist at all. So why didn't Blake kill us instead?

Yes! Blake once killed twelve people without any hesitation...

He could easily have blown them up again.

It might even blow up Harry.

However, Harry immediately pondered and said, "Perhaps he's worried about running into the professor, and if he causes a big commotion, he might not be able to get out."

He didn't come intending to die with me and Darren; he wanted to kill us and then surrender to Voldemort!

His statement won the approval of many people.

Of course, this also made him even angrier.

Because Black actually wanted to work for Voldemort! He believed Black was a completely corrupt person.

of course.

Besides them, the worst off was Neville.

Professor McGonagall put him in solitary confinement and forbade him from ever going to Hogsmeade again.

Professor McGonagall wouldn't even give Neville the password; he had to wait until someone from Gryffindor came out at night and kindly led him in.

After Darren's pleas went unanswered, he had no choice but to go out at night himself and take him to Gryffindor.

This made Neville feel even more guilty.

He once said to Darren, "I almost killed you. It's all my fault. Professor McGonagall deserved to punish me. I'm disgusting!"

His words were full of self-abandonment.

Darren sighed deeply.

Just as he was about to say something, the system's task finally appeared.

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

Reassure Neville and tell him that you don't mind.

[Ding! Mission completed. Reward: Blake's favorability +20. Would you like to accept the mission?]

[Receive]

Darren clicked to accept the request without hesitation.

With just a few words, he could increase Blake's favorability towards him by twenty points.

Blake's current favorability rating is around 60. Now, adding 20 more will bring it to 80.

An 80% favorability rating is already quite good.

As long as you don't treat him as an enemy, it's fine.

So, what exactly was Blake trying to do back then?

Ron said that when Blake saw him there, he gave him a sinister grin.

Ferocious... This might be because Blake has become ugly after being imprisoned for so many years.

The description is somewhat exaggerated.

But there must be a smile.

Could it be that Black thinks he's in Gryffindor again?

amount.

For someone like Blake with his thought process, this idea doesn't seem incomprehensible.

However, he still needed to comfort Neville. So he became serious.

He looked at Neville intently.

“Navie, you might think that you almost got me killed.”

Actually, no, even without you, Blake would have found all sorts of ways to kill you.

As he said this, Neville shuddered violently.

Neville's tears fell again.

Darren sighed.

He handed her a handkerchief and smiled.

"It's okay, I know you can't imagine it, but I've been prepared for this for a long time..."

I am my brother's younger brother, which means there will be countless dangers ahead.

There's Black, and others, other Death Eaters... I could die at any moment.

Perhaps he'll die in a minor accident, or in a murder, or in a fair fight…

This is my destiny. When I found out I was Darren Porter, I was ready.

I even wondered if my brother would become even more selfish if I died one day.

He always felt a lot of pressure because of having a younger brother like me.

My goal has always been to help him live a good life and not worry too much about anything else.

If I could help him eliminate all the dangers, I would die without regrets.

Of course, after saying all this, I just want to tell you that Neville, you are not wrong, it is Black who is wrong.

Even if we were to investigate further, the fault would still lie with my brother and me. It's because of us that everyone has suffered this trouble!

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have gained +20 points of favorability with Blake.]

……

For several days after the attack, Hogwarts was very tense.

Darren became the focus of attention wherever he went.

Until Hagrid's envelope arrived.

Dear Harry, Ron, and Darren:

This weekend, I'd like to invite you to my cottage. I'll come to the castle to pick you up, so please don't go out on your own.

Darren, of course, wouldn't refuse.

and so.

Six p.m.

He, Harry, and Ron were waiting inside the castle.

Hagrid arrived right on time.

He led them out of the castle.

Ron thought Hagrid wanted to find out what happened that night.

However, Hagrid said he already knew.

He looked at Darren with a hint of curiosity and asked, "Darren, why have I never heard a story told from your perspective?"

amount.

Of course, Darren had nothing to say.
