Chapter 156: Forbidden Forest blind box!!

~6 min read 1,029 words

Before Halloween.

Hogwarts was hung with jack-o'-lanterns.

Professor Flitwick announced in Charms class that they could learn to use the Levitation Charm.

"That's right, it's the spell that little Mr. Potter used during flying class!"

Professor Flitwick said excitedly.

He had never seen a first-year freshman use a spell so well.

"Darren, if you had used that spell for the first time in my class, I would definitely have added 20 points to Slytherin, it was great!"

Professor Flitwick continued to praise.

Darren was a bit embarrassed, his face reddening slightly.

This caused a burst of good-natured laughter from Slytherin and Gryffindor.

Ever since the broomstick incident, everyone knew that there were actually quite a few students in Slytherin House who liked Darren.

They just weren't willing to express it, which made Darren look like he was all alone.

In reality, there were quite a few people taking care of Darren in secret.

This also made many people realize Darren's popularity.

Darren sighed slightly; because he didn't look as pitiful as he seemed, people had started talking to him when he went out recently.

This annoyed him to no end.

Just as he was thinking, Darren heard Professor Flitwick clapping his hands.

It turned out that the professor had finished explaining the key points of casting the spell and intended to divide them into pairs to practice the Levitation Charm.

Because Darren already knew it, he was allowed to sit on the side and do his homework; after he finally finished his Charms homework, he heard the bell for the end of class.

【Ding, detected a scene where the Saint system can be utilized around the host, now issuing a temporary task: After Ron finishes bad-mouthing Hermione, walk up to Ron and ask him angrily: In your eyes, does a partner who has encountered danger with you not count as a friend just because she corrected your spell-casting error? Then what am I?】

【Ding, after the task is completed, you will receive a Forbidden Forest blind box, do you want to accept the task?】

Hmm?

Darren froze.

Forbidden Forest blind box?

What was this thing?

If the system wanted to give him a reward, it could just give it to him; why put it in the Forbidden Forest?

He complained.

However, he was very happy to see this task.

After all, the tasks he had received recently were at most two talent points, and they were all added to the Dark Magic talent.

Causing his Dark Magic talent to have reached 22 points now, simply an Azkaban reserve.

The rest was Saint value.

He reserved one thousand Saint value to use the Obscurus, and the rest were all used by him on textbook learning.

He had already learned all the first-year textbooks and was currently setting his sights on the Hogwarts library.

Unfortunately, there was not enough Saint value.

【Accept!】

Darren sighed and immediately chose to accept the task.

And after accepting the task, he picked up his books and stood up.

He saw Harry and Ron already waiting for him at the door.

"Let's go quickly! I'm really fed up with that Hermione Granger..."

Ron said unhappily at the classroom door.

Darren frowned and interrupted him.

"Ron, a gentleman cannot speak ill of a lady behind her back!"

"Forget it! We're just kids! And she's really annoying, honestly, she's like a nightmare."

Ron said, waving his hands angrily.

Then a figure bumped into him heavily and left from his side; it was Hermione!

Darren saw her shedding tears.

He hurriedly wanted to grab her, but Hermione disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"She heard what you said."

Darren looked at Ron; Ron felt a bit uneasy, but he still stiffened his neck and said stubbornly: "So what? She must have noticed that she doesn't have a single friend!"

"Doesn't have a single friend?"

Darren's tone gradually rose; everyone could see he was angry.

Ron didn't understand, not knowing what he had said wrong, when he heard Darren say angrily: "Hermione is our friend, she has adventured with us, gone on night walks with us, she just has a bit of a bad temper, how can you mock her like this?"

Just because she corrected your spell-casting error, you can say that about her, then in your heart, what am I?

I must be an evil, vicious, disgusting Slytherin, right?

Darren's tone became more and more agitated; suddenly he looked at Harry and said sadly: "Brother, I always thought Gryffindor and Slytherin were the same.

In Slytherin, even if everyone rejects me because I like Gryffindor, they won't speak ill of me.

Instead, they take care of my feelings and even try every possible way to avoid punishment for me.

I thought the Gryffindor you spoke of would be very good, which is why I looked down on Slytherin, but how can you guys speak ill of people behind their backs?

And speak ill of a lady? I simply can't believe it!"

Darren turned and left, somewhat broken.

Before leaving, his emerald-green eyes were filled with sadness.

【Ding, congratulations to the host for perfectly completing the task, receiving a Forbidden Forest blind box, receiving Dark Magic talent +2】

Forbidden Forest blind box: a blind box opened in the Forbidden Forest, filled with strange items from the Forbidden Forest.

As the system's reward fell, Darren also walked to the corner of the corridor.

Seeing that there were still people staring at him in shock, he hurriedly sighed sorrowfully and left with feigned composure.

After he left.

"Harry, Darren is making too much of a fuss..."

Ron looked at Harry, saying unhappily.

Only he was interrupted by Harry before he could finish.

"Darren is right, Ron, how can you speak ill of a lady behind her back?"

I am also at fault for not stopping you; Darren just cried from sadness!

Harry thought of what Darren had just said, and there was no unhappiness in his heart, only full pride.

This was his brother.

From childhood to adulthood, he was bullied by Dudley and his gang at school and was shunned by other classmates in class. ===== CHAPTER 158 =====
