Hogwarts: I've acquired the Father System

Page 225

Lockhart is a complete idiot.

People who like Lockhart nowadays do so because of his looks.

But when they realized that his brain wasn't working very well, they finally stopped being his fans.

He even stomped on Lockhart's foot.

"Perhaps Professor Lockhart is right! He just doesn't know how to teach. He might actually be very good at it. Don't you think so when you read his books?"

And I heard that Professor Lockhart helped me a lot when I was in trouble. I think he must be a good person, right?

Darren said hypocritically.

“Oh, Darren, I can’t judge whether he’s a good person or not, but you said he went to great lengths to find you…”

If someone just stands by and does nothing, then spouts a bunch of nonsense when they're almost there, that's considered contributing! Well, he definitely did a lot!

Harry complained.

He considered countless possibilities based on Lockhart's words, but Lockhart guessed none of them correctly.

No, the last one might be a bit of a guess.

Harry suddenly realized.

He asked incredulously, "Darren, you said Lockhart did a lot of work, did Lockhart tell you that?"

Darren nodded obediently.

Yes.

As soon as he returned, Lockhart told him that Darren had made a great sacrifice to be rescued.

Although Darren didn't know where he died, was it saliva?

"Oh my god, why did Dumbledore ever hire such a shameless person? I'd rather no one taught this year!"

Ron nodded in agreement, clearly agreeing with Harry.

"Wait, stop talking, look who that is!"

Chapter 224 He couldn't stand this injustice!

Just as Harry and the others were having a pleasant conversation, Hermione suddenly screamed.

Harry and the others looked up.

Lockhart was pulling Snape up with him.

"My assistant, Professor Snape!"

Lockhart burst into laughter.

He clearly felt it was a great honor for Snape to come and be his assistant.

"Why don't those two... cough cough, live to be a hundred years old!"

Harry really wanted to say, why don't these two just kill each other?

But seeing Darren's worried look, he changed his approach.

"Let me introduce my assistant, Severus."

He found me before I started preparing for the dueling club, wanting to do a little experiment with me…

"Oh, Darren, don't worry so much, I'll return your Potions professor to you!"

Perhaps Darren's worry was too intense, because Lockhart smugly comforted him.

After all, Lockhart believed that if someone in the school was worried that he would fight Snape and cause Snape to get hurt, then that person must be someone who firmly believed in his strength.

Take Darren, for example.

This child genuinely believes he is exceptionally capable.

This thrilled Lockhart.

"Is the professor really going to get hurt by Professor Lockhart?"

Darren looked worried and scared.

Since he stood behind Snape last time, he has never shown Snape that same expression again.

Snape's temper also became much more normal overnight.

Of course, he was much more normal with others, but he was still the same with Harry.

However, Snape's normal behavior was reflected in the fact that he swore less often and was not as irritable as before.

However, his popularity did not improve.

If you were to compile a list of the most disliked professors within the university, Snape and Lockhart would definitely be at the top of the list.

It's simply a matter of who's first and who's second.

This depends on which one the voter encounters first.

Therefore, Darren's concern for Snape earned him almost no "saintly" points.

Because they might both be secretly hoping that the two of them will both suffer heavy losses.

However, Darren noticed that Snape seemed to be in a very good mood today.

Could it be that his worried expression just now pleased the old sycophant?

This is possible.

That makes sense, though. Snape was nice to him before because he looked like Lily.

Her personality is like Lily's.

A potions genius like him.

It made him feel like he wanted to treat Darren as his own son.

But James was the person Snape hated the most.

Therefore, even Darren, Snape could not like him without reservation.

The old sycophant probably feels uncomfortable every time he thinks about Darren being James' son.

After Snape discovered that Darren's bloodline was abnormal, he became very cautious around Darren.

But after Darren's bloodline was thoroughly verified that night, Snape gradually distanced himself from Darren.

In general, we try to avoid it.

By the way, did Snape not know whether he and his mother Lily were together?

Do you really treat him like your own son?

Darren thought to himself.

On the surface, he still appeared to care about Snape.

It's like saying, "Even if you don't like me, I still admire you."

It was visibly true that Snape's smile had become more genuine.

"...Alright, now I'll show you the allure of dueling. Nod first!"

Darren was distracted, and Lockhart had already gotten to this point.

"...We will attack each other, but of course, we probably won't take each other's lives!"

Darren's face turned pale, and he looked extremely worried.

It seemed more like they were afraid Lockhart would kill Snape soon.

He mustered his courage and said, "Professor Lockhart, could we... could we stop the competition? I don't really enjoy watching these..."
