Hogwarts: I've acquired the Father System

Page 169

Filch glared menacingly at Darren and Harry. Darren shrank back a step.

But he immediately stepped forward to block Harry. He said, his voice trembling slightly, "Mr. Filch, I'm telling you the absolute truth, I swear."

"If the voice I heard is a lie, then let me go back to that orphanage, or let me be killed by Voldemort!"

The voice was definitely real. Therefore, the oath made was absolutely correct.

Anyway, Darren didn't swear that everything he said was true.

"Ha, anyone can swear an oath!"

Filch couldn't help but say.

But they are clearly not as aggressive as before.

"Alright, Filch, if you've finished spouting your nonsense."

Then you should know that Dumbledore and many professors are sitting here, and everyone has the ability to discern...

Perhaps we should listen to Potter and his friends continue, even if it's all made up!

Snape drawled out his words.

"Thank you for believing me, Professor Snape!"

Darren looked at Snape gratefully.

Snape was a little annoyed. He had already said those things, so why was this brat thanking him?

What a stupid little brat!

Seeing that someone believed him, Darren smiled gently. His smile was bright and sunny, without any hint of gloom. Snape snorted.

I don't want to see this little brat anymore.

Darren then obediently continued, "During the banquet, I was very sad because my brother didn't take me to the anniversary party..."

Harry sighed.

When he and Hermione were trapped in the corridor, he was relieved that he hadn't brought Darren Porter with him.

Otherwise, Darren would have been implicated, but Darren came out on his own.

Darren looked at Harry's expression, lowered his head guiltily, and continued, "At the banquet, I suddenly heard that voice say it was hungry..."

"I'm so worried. I don't know what it is, but it's hungry... Maybe it's a giant beast that might eat students."

So I decided to follow it and find its trail... because I took down a troll in my first year, so I thought I could do it too..."

Snape snorted.

"He's an even more reckless brat than Gryffindor!"

Darren felt even more guilty, his green eyes welling up with tears. But seeing everyone waiting, he obediently said, "I followed it to the basement bathroom, trying to find it, but I couldn't find it..."

I can only feel that it's still there, and I'm just guarding the toilet...

I don't know how much time passed, but it suddenly ran away again. I don't know where it ran from, it just suddenly ran away...

I followed it away, listening to its voice everywhere in search of it, and only after I thought I had found it...

Then I saw my brother, Ron, and Hermione... I almost thought they had been attacked...

[Ding, congratulations to the host for gaining the basilisk's gaze] Basilisk's gaze: Immune to the basilisk's eyes

(The basilisk that had been underground was awakened, but it discovered that the person was not its master.)

While it was running around aimlessly, it discovered its little owner.

Is that all?

Before Darren could examine the reward closely, he heard Dumbledore's question. He nodded seriously, indicating that he hadn't missed anything.

However, he still felt somewhat guilty and said, "Actually, when I saw Mrs. Loris, I felt really apologetic."

Because Mrs. Loris was probably harmed by the owner of that voice, I should have told the professor sooner…”

Darren's eyes reddened.

Filch looked away with a hint of reluctance.

In fact, once he entered Dumbledore's office, he realized it definitely wasn't Darren.

Darren wouldn't do something like that.

But what could they do when there were only a few of them present?

His cat, his only companion, he had just thought was really dead.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Filch!"

Darren bowed deeply to Filch in apology. Filch's eyes were red.

He turned away, choking back tears, not wanting to face Darren. Harry spat softly beside him.

Filch was all aggressive just now, but now that he knows he wronged Darren, he hasn't apologized at all. He even turned away. It serves him right that his cat got into trouble!

He thought gleefully, but in the blink of an eye, he met Snape's gaze again. The moment Harry saw Snape's eyes, he knew he was in trouble.

Because Snape gave him a smile. It was a greasy, disgusting smile.

Harry's gut feeling told him that the old man was probably trying to cause him trouble!

P.S.: Don't worry about the protagonist revealing Voldemort's bloodline; the author will handle that later.

Even if Voldemort's bloodline were exposed, there wouldn't be any heart-wrenching moments. Trust the author's skill and experience Darren's life at Hogwarts with him.

Chapter 171 Revoke His Privileges!!

Harry's intuition came true.

Snape suddenly looked at Dumbledore and said, "Headmaster, perhaps we should shift our suspicions from young Potter and focus them on the famous Harry Potter."

Harry's heart was in his throat.

Darren opened his mouth, about to defend Harry. But Snape glared at him.

"Some people should just shut up; they haven't cleared their names yet... Of course, what I'm going to talk about now is Harry Potter."

The appearance of Harry Potter is actually more suspicious. Why did they go to the upper corridor? And why didn't they attend the Halloween party?

Harry and Ron eagerly explained their reasons, even saying, "There are hundreds of ghosts there; they can definitely testify!"

"Then why did you go up into the corridor?"

"Because I also heard the same sound that Darren heard..."

Harry quickly said.

But Snape shook his head gleefully and said, "Our Harry Potter is obviously lying; perhaps he has never even heard that voice."

He overheard some silly boy talking to himself, guessed what he was saying, and then used that silly boy to do this.

His intention... might be to expel that fool, or perhaps to have him imprisoned in Azkaban...

That way, no one will stop the great Harry Potter from stealing the spotlight anymore!

"I don't!"

Harry was furious.

He knew Snape had ill intentions.

Not only did he insist that Darren was lying, but he also deliberately tried to sow discord between him and Darren. When did he ever feel that Darren was getting in his way of showing off?

Darren is always so good to him, and he's not heartless, so how could he not like Darren?

This is his twin brother, his closest relative! Snape did it on purpose!

Fortunately.

"Professor Snape, I believe in my brother. He wouldn't harm me!"

Darren stood firmly by Harry's side.

Harry smiled happily.

But Snape just did the opposite of what he was doing. He sneered, "Ha, then Potter, tell me, you had so many opportunities to say that you went upstairs because you heard that voice."

Why would you rather watch your poor brother get beaten than admit it?

After you came in, there was such a long silence, and you still didn't say a word.

"Let everyone doubt Darren Porter... Why didn't you say you could hear certain voices back then?"

Harry didn't know how to explain.

Although he hadn't told Darren that he could hear those voices, he had told Ron and Hermione.

Ron said that hearing voices that others cannot hear in the wizarding world is a bad thing.

That's why he never dared to say it.

"I forgot back then!"
