Chapter 181

After the start of the term, Darren and the others resumed their action of searching for Nicolas Flamel in the library.

Although they no longer held any expectations.

But they still fantasized a little that perhaps in the next second, they would be able to get news of this person.

At that time, perhaps they would know what Dumbledore had hidden in that room at the end of the fourth-floor corridor.

However, everything was unfavorable. There was no progress at all.

Wood even brought Harry a miserable piece of news. Snape would be the referee for the next Quidditch match. Harry was on the verge of tears.

He felt Snape wanted his life.

"Last time he wanted my life... yes, yes, Darren, you're right, it might not necessarily be Snape who wants my life.

But now that he's going to be the referee, he really wants my life; if we can't win at Quidditch, how is that any different from wanting my life?"

When Harry told Darren and the others the news, he almost cried.

Perhaps his voice was too loud, and he was miserably kicked out by Madam Pince.

Fortunately, Darren and the others followed him out, which made Harry look not quite so pathetic.

"It's alright, actually, you see Professor Snape as fierce, but the Professor is a good person.

As long as you don't provoke him and stay out of his way, there won't be any problems... really, I'm not lying to you..."

Just as Darren was constantly comforting Harry, he saw Malfoy standing at the library entrance, pointing his wand at Neville.

【Ding, a scene where the Saint Father System can be utilized has been detected near the host. A temporary task is now issued: Walk in front of Neville, point your wand at Malfoy, and say angrily: Malfoy, if you bully Neville again, I will tell Professor Snape!】

【Ding, upon successful completion of the task, you will receive Neville's Herbology Talent. Does the host wish to accept the task?】

【Accept!】 Darren immediately stood out.

He quickly walked to Malfoy's side, blocked Neville behind him, and said angrily: "Malfoy, why do you always bully Neville? If you bully him again, I will tell Professor Snape and have him put you in detention!"

His expression was very serious, looking as if he were about to cast a hex on Malfoy, yet the words he said made people smile with goodwill.

The most vicious method this child could think of was detention?

【Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the task, you have received Neville's Herbology Talent】 Neville's Herbology Talent: After use, Herbology Talent +15. Huh?

Author

Is Neville's Herbology Talent already this high?

Although from the original book, Darren knew Neville was very suited for Herbology, he really didn't expect Neville's Herbology Talent to be as high as 15 at this time.

Neville had never performed too brilliantly in Herbology, leading Darren to always think Neville's Herbology Talent was at most 10.

Fine, maybe at the beginning of the term, Neville's Herbology Talent was 10, and now it's already 15.

His previous Herbology Talent was 3, which he had added to 10 using talent points, and plus Neville's 15 points of talent, he now already had 25 points of talent.

Clearly, in the second year, his Herbology Talent was also at a genius level.

He thought excitedly.

Then he saw Malfoy's face twisted with anger.

This guy looked at him with an expression as if he were a scumbag who had bullied someone. He tilted his head in confusion.

Then he saw Malfoy storm off with Crabbe and Goyle.

Before leaving, they still viciously threatened Neville, saying they would definitely deal with him.

"It's over, Malfoy must hate me to death."

Neville said, crying.

He looked at Malfoy's expression as if he were looking at a demon.

"Neville, you have to be brave!"

Hermione walked over angrily to cheer Neville up.

She had never imagined there would be someone like Malfoy in the magical world who specifically bullied others!

"Neville, show your courage and knock him down!"

Ron offered Neville advice from the side.

Neville shook his head; he said sadly: "I have no courage at all, I don't even know how I was sorted into Gryffindor; in fact, I think Hufflepuff is more suitable for me!"

【Ding, a scene where the Saint Father System can be utilized has been detected near the host. A temporary task is now issued: Comfort Neville and make him happy...】

【Ding, upon successful completion of the task, you will receive Animal Affinity Talent +2. Does the host wish to accept the task?】

Huh? Animal Affinity Talent again. Darren was slightly curious.

But he still immediately clicked accept.

He walked to Neville's side, took a Chocolate Frog out of his pocket, and stuffed it into Neville's hand.

He said earnestly: "Neville, a few days ago when Malfoy was bullying a Hufflepuff student, you stood up for them.

Even though you were afraid, you still stood in front of that classmate, which is why Malfoy has been bullying you every day since then.

So, how can you say you have no courage?

Neville, you are a hero, a hero just like my brother!"

Neville's face turned red.

It was the first time he had been praised like this.

His grandmother always liked to say he was too stupid, had no courage, and was cowardly.

But Darren told him he had been very heroic in the past and was also a hero, just like Harry Potter.

"I, I just, just didn't want to see him bullying people..."

Neville said stutteringly.

However, Darren had already placed his hand on his shoulder and said encouragingly: "I understand, but that doesn't hide your courage. Come, eat this Chocolate Frog, you will definitely become even braver!"

【Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the task, you have received Animal Affinity Talent +21】

Neville looked much happier.

He picked up the Chocolate Frog and stuffed it into his mouth.

Feeling the jumping in his mouth, he squinted his eyes happily.

"The card, Dumbledore's... I don't know if you collect these cards, Darren, I already have several of Dumbledore's."

Neville handed the card to Darren and left happily.

"I already have many of Dumbledore's cards, too many, I suggest you just throw them away, Darren!"

Ron curled his lip, not liking Dumbledore cards. He preferred to collect a full set of celebrity cards.

"Better not, I like Professor Dumbledore very much... Huh? Ron, luckily I didn't listen to you, I think I've found Nicolas Flamel!"
