Chapter 118: Cruciatus Curse

Darren noticed that the Pansy here was the style of Pansy from the movies.

She had short black hair, cold eyes, and stunning lips.

"Tsk!"

She looked at Darren with intimidation, the corners of her mouth curling up as she said:

"That poor Mr. Potter, I hope you enjoy the upcoming feast. Of course, I hope you won't use that power of yours to cheat."

Under her threat, Darren's face turned as pale as paper.

He pursed his lips and said somewhat stubbornly: "I can accept the punishment, and I can choose not to use that power, but I will not be separated from my brother!"

【Ding, Saint Father points +10】

【Ding, Saint Father points +20】

【Ding, Saint Father points +5】

【Ding…】

Another small wave of Saint Father points was credited.

Darren checked his Saint Father points; he already had over 3,300.

Hmm, that's equivalent to being able to redeem thirty-three talent points for himself.

Six books.

Or perhaps three Obscurus uses.

But there's no rush for that; he needs to deal with the scene in front of him now.

He didn't know how Becky and the others planned to deal with him.

But it definitely wouldn't be excessive; Snape should know about this punishment. He had seen Snape call Becky away today, after all.

He must have been arranging this matter.

One must know that Snape would absolutely never allow Lily's son to be bullied.

Especially not bullied in his own house.

Think back to when Darren ran with Neville's cauldron; Snape had been absolutely furious.

If he found out that students in his house were harming Darren, he would probably give all of them a good thrashing.

Therefore, this should just be for show for these Slytherin students.

So, he just needs to endure it and that's it.

"Accept the punishment?"

Becky snorted coldly.

She looked at Darren and continued:

"It's understandable that you don't know Slytherin's rules, so, if you admit your mistake now,

and promise that you won't go looking for Harry Potter when Slytherin is acting as a group in the future, I can waive this punishment.

If you still insist on doing so, then what awaits you will be the Cruciatus Curse!"

"Hiss!"

Hearing Becky's words, the entire Slytherin group gasped sharply.

Slytherin indeed had very heavy punishments, but wouldn't the Cruciatus Curse be a bit too heavy?

Clearly, when Becky was discussing it with them earlier, she had said they would hang Darren upside down in the common room, and each of them could cast one spell on him.

How did it suddenly become the Cruciatus Curse?

They were all pure-blood wizards.

Many wizards had even seen their parents demonstrate this curse when they were children.

Of course, their parents hadn't used people for the demonstration; they basically used small animals.

But they had all watched it and cried their eyes out.

That kind of screaming from the depths of the soul—except for a true dark wizard, no one could remain unmoved by it.

Wouldn't such a punishment be a bit too heavy?

Looking at Darren's pale face, almost everyone turned their heads away, unable to bear it.

They even somewhat hoped that Darren would compromise.

At worst, just don't run off with Harry Potter when the main group of Slytherins is acting together.

This promise doesn't count for much; if it were them, they would have promised it straight away.

They believed Darren would think the same.

However,

"No, I won't make such a promise. When my brother comes to find me, it must be for something important; I cannot refuse him!"

【Ding, Saint Father points +20】

【Ding, Saint Father points +30】

【Ding, Saint Father points +50】

【Ding…】

Another small pile of Saint Father points was credited.

Darren discovered he already had over 3,800 Saint Father points.

Hmm, sure enough, he knew that saying it like this would make the Saint Father points feel like they were being given away for free.

As for the Cruciatus Curse, Darren didn't believe it at all.

Snape would let others use Dark Magic on him?

He'd probably expel Becky and then Avada Kedavra her on the spot.

So as long as he isn't afraid, it's others who will be shocked.

"Very well!"

Becky tapped her palm with her wand, then turned the wand's direction and pointed it fiercely at Darren.

"Crucio!"

Darren fell to the ground almost instantly.

He didn't feel any pain, but his body had already involuntarily let out a scream.

Ah, this?

What's the situation?

A Screaming Curse?

"Now, what is your decision?"

Becky withdrew her wand and looked at his bewildered expression, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes.

However, she immediately calmed down.

Darren opened his mouth, showing a puzzled look, as if he wanted to ask why he wasn't in pain.

It was just that he found he couldn't speak at all right now.

Becky must have used a Tongue-Tying Curse on him.

Darren sighed.

He shook his head gently.

"Since that's the case, then…" ===== CHAPTER 120 =====
