Chapter 1653

"But, my mother..."

"Then I don't know; you have to ask your mother yourself. It seems she firmly believes you were slipped a love potion by Darren.

But more than half the summer has passed; I suppose Aunt Vole shouldn't think that way anymore, right?"

How could a love potion last that long?

Cassandra wanted to think so too, but her mother hadn't mentioned this to her at all.

She sighed.

Then, a few days later, she heard that the idiot had developed a new version of an antidote and even made the front page of the Daily Prophet.

An antidote!

No one had been able to improve it for many years, and yet a first-year student—no, a student about to be in his second year—had done it.

Her father was even paying attention to this matter.

Only then did he remember that Cassandra liked Darren.

"Do you really like him?"

Her father looked at her with an expression of disbelief.

It was truly baffling to hear this.

"I know, you weren't slipped a love potion; I know my daughter!"

Cassandra's eyes were a bit red.

She had also thought she was under a love potion, but she just liked him that much; what could she do?

"If it were before, I would never have agreed to this matter, even if it meant hedging bets, I wouldn't have chosen Darren Potter.

You know he is Harry Potter's brother... he could very likely die at any moment; I couldn't let my only daughter like him.

But... you should thank him for the antidote he made, and, he was taken as an heir by Nicolas Flamel; perhaps his chances of survival will be much higher...

Saying so much, I just want to tell you, Miss Vole, what you might need is strength.

Wanting to be with Darren Potter means a lot of trouble; if you aren't strong yourselves, then how can you be with him?

By the way, what does he say? He wouldn't just let you face such a scene alone, would he?"

Cassandra blushed rarely.

"He, he doesn't know..."

Doesn't know?

A look of astonishment rarely seen on Mr. Vole's handsome face appeared...
