Chapter 129
Darren remembered that Harry eventually became the youngest Seeker at Hogwarts, and it seemed to have started right after this flying lesson.
He looked down at his character panel.
Hmm, his flying talent was only 3 points?
So, should he add to it or not?
He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to raise it to 10. According to the description of Harry in the original work, he should now be a genius on the same level as Harry.
Speaking of which, if both of Lily's children inherited James's flying talent, would Snape be driven mad?
Darren smirked.
He quickly resumed a "nervous" expression.
As a student who had never been exposed to flying lessons, he would naturally be nervous.
"Potter, you aren't scared, are you?"
Just as Darren was pretending to be well-behaved, he heard Malfoy's voice.
He looked up in confusion.
For some time now, Malfoy had been ignoring him completely.
Perhaps he was spooked by the fact that Darren could still stand up perfectly fine after enduring the Cruciatus Curse for ten minutes.
In any case, Malfoy had been keeping his distance lately.
Even when mocking Harry, he would usually leave quickly if he saw Darren approaching.
He hadn't expected this guy to pop up today.
However, as a little "Saint Father," Darren certainly hadn't forgotten to thank Malfoy.
This was because Malfoy had given up the chance to punish him last time.
Over the past few days, he had privately sought out every Slytherin to thank them, leaving only Malfoy.
So, after thinking it over, he stood up immediately.
Malfoy was startled, thinking Darren was going to hit him, and quickly stepped back twice.
Darren hadn't expected Malfoy to be so jumpy.
He almost laughed out loud.
However, he immediately restrained his smile, his expression turning sincere.
"Thank you, Malfoy. Although you always bully my brother, because you let me off last time, I still have to thank you!"
Malfoy let out a sigh of relief.
But he immediately began to smile triumphantly, snorting as he said, "If you weren't so pathetic, I wouldn't have let that opportunity go. But if you go hanging around with that Potter again, I'll definitely beat you up!"
He tilted his chin up.
For the past few days, he had felt a bit awkward facing Darren.
It wasn't because he was timid.
It was simply because he felt ashamed.
That day, after watching Darren endure the Cruciatus Curse, he had actually been so scared he wet his pants.
He still remembered when he was a child, his father had cast that curse on a house-elf right in front of him.
That house-elf had screamed just like Darren did back then.
He had watched helplessly as the house-elf lay dying and finally perished before his eyes.
That was the first lesson his father had taught him.
He thought he had forgotten about that incident.
Who knew that when Darren was suffering under the Cruciatus Curse, he would remember it all over again.
He even thought of more details.
That house-elf had cried and begged his father for mercy, and because the pain was too great, it had even smashed its head against the floor, trying to kill itself.
But Darren was different.
Even after suffering such torture, he could still tenaciously insist that he had to see Harry Potter.
Malfoy was truly shaken.
He even felt a bit of envy toward Harry Potter.
Why didn't he have someone to defend him like Darren did for his brother?
And was Harry Potter even worthy of such affection?
While Darren was enduring the Cruciatus Curse for him, Harry Potter was probably playing games with his red-headed Weasley sidekick!
So, he began to enjoy bothering Harry Potter even more.
Although he didn't like Darren Potter either.
But, as a member of Slytherin, Darren Potter could only be bullied by them, the Slytherins.
Thinking of this, he grinned.
And he stated with some pride.
As long as Darren stayed a little further away from Harry Potter, then he, representing the Slytherin first-years, would accept this guy who was probably a Gryffindor!
He happily imagined Darren Potter acting like a well-behaved sidekick, and almost laughed out loud with joy.
Then, wherever he went, he would have Darren Potter to stand up for him, and he would surely be able to walk sideways through Hogwarts.
However.
Just as Malfoy was feeling happy.
He heard Darren say unhappily, "When I go out with my brother, it's for serious business, not 'hanging around'."
Malfoy noticed him glance at him when he said this, and thought he was about to admit he was wrong, but then he heard him continue: "Besides, you can't beat me either."!!!
Too much!
