Chapter 1691
Kent's pranks ultimately had some benefits.
At the very least, they completely discovered my stupidity, and were even a bit too lazy to talk to me.
I stayed in the manor, but very few people could think of me.
Fortunately, my food and drink were not a problem.
My pocket money had not decreased either.
And there were house-elves taking me out to buy clothes.
They couldn't possibly let me, this future marriage partner, dress in rags in front of outsiders.
I think I should thank them for this.
After all, many of these beautiful little dresses were styles I had never seen in my previous life.
They should be unique to the wizarding world.
I still quite like them.
For the whole summer, I tried my best to practice the Water-Fog Charm at home.
Trying to create a layer of water mist in front of my eyes, which can effectively block the Basilisk from looking directly into my eyes.
Although the school made us sign an agreement not to practice magic during the summer, it is obvious that in wizarding families, this depends on parental supervision.
My parents, of course, couldn't possibly supervise me. I practiced day and night.
Fearing that I would die at school next year.
I think this is a very dangerous year.
After all, it is an animal; even Darren probably has no way to control who that snake wants to look at.
I thought irritably.
The closer it got to the start of school, the more tense I became.
In August, Dad brought back news that it is said that Nicolas Flamel wants to take Darren Potter as an apprentice.
Listening to Dad sighing about Darren Potter's good luck there, I kept thinking in my heart about the reason he wanted to have a good relationship with Nicolas Flamel.
Could it be that he also wants immortality? I can't figure it out.
But I also feel that if there is help from Nicolas Flamel, perhaps there will be some help in defeating Voldemort in the future.
I hope so!
I paid attention to the follow-up of this matter, and after finding that Dad didn't know more, I threw myself into the atmosphere of practicing the Water-Fog Charm again.
It is worth mentioning that Mom is pregnant again.
Kent is not very happy.
He hates the child still in Mom's belly because he feels that the love he receives has decreased.
I heard Mom and Dad constantly comforting him.
While showing a silly expression, I kept rolling my eyes.
Of course, I also had a bit of a fluke mentality.
Hoping that Kent and this unborn child would perish together.
I admit I am very vicious.
But there is no way; I don't think this kind of family can raise better children.
It's a pity that I can only think about it.
I am just an outsider here.
I'd better practice my spells well.
Although I can now put the Water-Fog Charm on my eyes, it can still be seen a little; I am trying to find a way to block the flaw.
After all, if people know that I have been blocking my eyes with the Water-Fog Charm, I will definitely be suspected.
But it's a pity that even though school is about to start, I haven't managed to do this.
This day.
Mom and Dad want to take me and Kent to Diagon Alley to buy things.
I don't really want to go, but they won't listen.
So I can only pretend to be timid and follow behind them.
Actually, they don't really want to take me either, but I am going to marry into a family in the future, so they must dress me up beautifully so they can pack me up and sell me off.
So I can only follow them obediently.
We went to Diagon Alley.
Diagon Alley is really lively.
I also heard people discussing that today is Lockhart's new book signing event.
My hand hidden in my sleeve tightened.
This is another day that triggers the plot.
If I had known, I would never have come today even if I died.
It's a pity that I have already come.
I can only continue to walk forward.
Bowing my head, making a stupid appearance, even Kent doesn't want to say a word to me.
Mom and Dad came to Flourish and Blotts.
There was an argument going on there.
I saw Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Weasley fighting.
Harry and the others were fighting with Draco.
Mom and Dad looked at Lucius in shock.
They seemed unable to imagine that this noble Malfoy would actually fight like a Muggle.
Finally, Darren walked over.
He grabbed one person with each hand.
He pulled Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Weasley apart.
I saw the triumph in Mr. Weasley's eyes, and also saw the relief in Lucius's eyes...
Wait, why would Lucius be relieved?
I almost thought I saw it wrong, but I saw Draco Malfoy also seem to show a triumphant and happy expression towards Darren.
That's not right!
Young Master Malfoy, use your brain! That person just lifted your father up!
I really wanted to tell him that, but I knew I couldn't say anything.
I couldn't even let people know I was so sharp.
So I said foolishly like the other onlookers: "Wow, Darren Potter's strength is so great, does he have giant blood?"
I heard Kent secretly calling me a fool next to me.
So what.
No one knows the big secret hidden in the heart of this fool.
No, except for Darren Potter!
I looked at Darren with complex eyes.
I don't know if he has confirmed my identity.
Also, did he really get hit with the Cruciatus Curse at the end of last semester? I don't believe he would be that miserable.
But I went to see it for real, and he was that miserable.
But as a protagonist with a golden finger, even if he can't kill everyone, can't he even dodge the Cruciatus Curse?
