Chapter 230 It's all my fault!!
After Darren finished examining his new reward, he discovered that there wasn't a single person there to offer any support.
Because this place is so remote, there aren't even any portraits here.
Nick, who had been attracted earlier, was now petrified.
No, if no one's causing trouble, it would be so pointless for him to go to Dumbledore's office to explain this himself!
There must be one troublemaker.
Mischievous Ghost!
Yes, bring Pikachu over here!
Peeves is the only ghost in the entire castle that still carries immense malice.
Of course, Mischievous Ghost treats everyone the same way.
He fears no one but Dumbledore.
His favorite thing to do was bully children or cause trouble for Filch.
If Pipi Ghost finds out about this, he'll probably spread it in a dozen different versions.
It would be so boring without Pippi!
If we just let Pippi the Ghost tell everyone that he killed someone, then when Justin wakes up, he'll get the Father Points again.
No misunderstanding, he's been having a hard time farming Holy Father Points lately.
"Mischievous Sprite is coming!"
Darren waved his wand.
Mischievous Ghost immediately flew over.
Just as he was about to scream, Darren made him temporarily lose consciousness.
Then he altered some of the memories of the mischievous ghost.
Peeves thought he had just flown over, and then he saw Darren sitting on the ground, while Nick and Justin were petrified together.
He believed that Pikachu would not let him down.
Sure enough, as soon as Mischief woke up...
He screamed.
"Murder! Murder! Potter has murdered someone! That little bastard Potter has murdered someone! Help!"
His voice was much louder than Darren's, and in the blink of an eye, he had the whole castle in an uproar.
Then the sound of running echoed inside the castle.
Everyone ran towards this place.
Darren remained slumped on the ground, a guilty expression on his face. "Darren? Darren, are you alright?"
Harry was the first to rush to Darren's side, and he immediately tried to help Darren to his feet.
The moment he touched Darren, he noticed that Darren was extremely cold, and even his face was completely bloodless.
He even called Darren's name several times, but Darren didn't answer, as if he was immersed in his own emotions.
"I'm petrified! My God, who did this?"
A girl's voice screamed.
Harry then looked behind Darren.
Nick, who was almost headless, transformed from a transparent and milky-white ghost into a completely black creature.
He floated about ten centimeters off the ground, his eyes wide open, revealing a terrified expression.
Behind him was Justin, who was lying on the ground.
Justin was petrified; he lay there stiffly, his eyes filled with terror.
The direction they were looking in is exactly where Darren is now.
"It was Potter, it was Potter, it must have been him! Justin had just said bad things about Potter, and then he was petrified right here, oh my god!"
Ernie of Hufflepuff cried out in terror.
Harry was furious.
He glanced at Darren, who seemed to have heard Ernie's words; Darren's eyes gradually turned red.
"Say that again? I won't let you get away with it!"
"You think you can protect him? Darren Porter is a murderer!"
I'm going to tell the professors to get him removed from his teeth!
"We can't keep a murderer in the school. Maybe his capture by the Death Eaters was all an act!"
Ernie shouted angrily.
"Tarantella dance!"
Harry was furious, and he pointed his wand at Ernie.
Then Ernie started dancing wildly.
“I’m telling you, Darren absolutely didn’t do this. He’s not that kind of person. If you keep slandering him, I’ll never forgive you!”
"A black dragon emerges from its cave!"
Malfoy's voice suddenly rang out.
Harry thought Malfoy was casting a spell on him, but when he turned around, he saw a snake rush out of Malfoy's wand.
The snake lunged straight at Ernie.
"and many more!"
Harry called out quickly.
If Malfoy's snake had killed Ernie, others might have genuinely believed that Darren was up to no good.
However, he realized something was wrong as soon as he said it.
Because everyone was looking at him with shock in their eyes.
"Leave him!"
Darren suddenly grabbed Harry's arm and stood up, saying angrily.
Harry then realized that the snake was heading straight for him.
Darren shouted at the snake.
However, Darren immediately realized something, waved his wand, and the snake vanished instantly.
The snake had disappeared, but the atmosphere had changed.
Harry and Darren both heard what sounded like whispers around them.
And the people around them suddenly became much farther away.
Oh no, it seems the Slytherins didn't retreat at all.
Their faces showed expressions of envy and jealousy.
Harry was about to ask what was going on when he saw Snape rushing over.
Harry found the look in Snape's eyes really strange.
Because it was a painful expression, even mixed with disgust and hatred.
However, this expression only lasted for a moment before he turned his gaze to Darren.
"Darren, Darren Porter, what happened here?"
His tone was somewhat anxious.
Harry was surprised to find that Snape did not show Darren a mocking expression.
However, he immediately saw Dumbledore.
He thought that Dumbledore might have threatened Snape to stop him from making things difficult for Darren.
"No, don't say it here..."
"Darren, come with me. Minerva, take Nick and Justin to the school infirmary. I think Darren and I need to talk."
"Principal, I want to go too..."
Harry quickly said.
However, Dumbledore rejected his idea.
"Oh, child, you should rest!"
Dumbledore led Darren and Snape into the headmaster's office.
