Chapter 1127: Acting?!!

~4 min read 781 words

However, Harry's anger was not everyone's anger. For example, Hermione.

She was sitting upright at this time, seemingly prepared to choose Snape's next stage of Potions study.

This made Harry and Ron widen their eyes. They felt she was a bit of a traitor.

"Then, today we are going to brew a potion, a Draught of Peace... if it's not brewed well, it will become a Sleeping Draught..."

Snape glanced at Hermione and moved his gaze away with a blank expression. He wrote the contents of the potion on the blackboard.

Then he signaled for them to begin.

Snape stood next to Darren for the first half of the class. He watched Darren throw in some medicinal herbs without haste.

Then that pot of Draught of Peace formed into its most perfect state.

He whispered: "Dumbledore believes that you must act in a play with me.

We must break off our relationship in front of Potter; at the very least, you must show an expression of hating me to the bone.

He thinks this is a tempering for you!"

Darren looked at him in astonishment.

He thought Dumbledore would have someone else replace him to act in a play with Snape; why let him do it himself?

"Dumbledore believes that you must have some acting skills; if you can't even lie, the Dark Lord will probably laugh himself to death because of you... Careful, the potion!"

Darren turned back to look at his potion. The color was wrong.

He thought for a moment and added something else. Then he stirred it clockwise a few times.

Improved potion.

A flash of pride appeared in Snape's eyes.

He helped Darren put the potion into a bottle.

Then he continued: "Anyway, no matter what, I will find a reason to give you detention later.

Starting tonight, we will practice some of the acting that a breakup should have!"

Darren felt it was extremely absurd.

Snape teaching him acting... Fine!

What else could he do? So he nodded.

Snape walked away from his side.

He spent the second half of the class wandering around other people. Harry suffered the greatest verbal attack.

Snape kept finding trouble for Harry.

One moment saying he didn't put in the herbs, the next saying he didn't stir. In short, Harry had already had several pots of potions emptied by him. But in fact, there were many who did worse than Harry.

Darren initially thought Snape was deliberately finding trouble for Harry.

But when he discovered that Snape was stealing glances at him while finding trouble for Harry, he finally realized.

Snape intended to use Harry to provoke him.

Thereby achieving Snape's goal of giving him detention. Darren accurately grasped this point.

But on the surface, he still acted as if he just couldn't bear to see Snape bullying Harry, and he stood up anxiously and said: "Professor, I can teach my brother to brew the potion, please don't be like this..."

"Are you questioning me?"

Snape suddenly narrowed his eyes. Darren showed an expression of astonishment. He hurriedly wanted to explain.

But Snape said coldly: "The famous Triwizard Champion, I just remembered, you had a group fight in Slytherin last year?

I said, if you won the Triwizard Cup, I would spare you. But I think the final result was that you and your Potter brother were tied, so, that means you earned a semester of detention!

So, Darren Potter, what do you think of my punishment?"

"No, no..."

Darren showed a look of sudden realization.

He said a bit awkwardly: "I have no objections..."

Looking exactly like his expression when lying.

Making Snape shake his head helplessly. He had originally wanted Darren to be more natural.

But once this child realized this was lying or telling a tall tale, he couldn't help but become like this.

Thinking about having to teach Darren acting, even Snape felt it was a bit tricky.

Could he really teach this child acting? Of course, this was not the time to think about these things.

He sneered.

"Since little Potter thinks his punishment is deserved, then, a semester of detention!"

He said coldly. Then he announced the end of class. Harry was furious.

He tried to go reason with Snape; Darren hadn't done anything wrong, but apart from being deducted twenty points, it didn't help at all.

"That stupid..."

Harry cursed something. But he avoided Darren.

Because even though Snape treated Darren this way, Darren hadn't lost his respect for Snape.

He still called him Professor Snape every time.

This made Harry and the others believe even more that Darren must have suffered a lot of torture in Slytherin. ===== CHAPTER 1129 =====
