Chapter 210: He wasn't caught!!
After watching Hermione pull Harry away, Darren looked at Snape.
The expression on Snape's face was somewhat sarcastic, but the depths of his eyes remained hollow; it was unknown what he was thinking.
"Now, let's talk! What exactly did Harry Potter do!"
Snape said coldly.
His eyes did not look at Darren, but instead stared straight at Malfoy. Clearly, he felt that asking Darren would be a waste of time.
"It's like this, Professor, a few days ago I heard them discussing the word 'dragon' in the library."
"So I secretly followed them, and who would have thought I'd discover they actually went to that Hogwarts gamekeeper's place."
"I lay on the window and took a look, do you know what I found? A dragon!"
"That Hogwarts gamekeeper is actually raising a dragon, a Norwegian Ridgeback, very beautiful, it's just like..."
Malfoy desperately described how amazing that dragon was, successfully making Snape's face turn black.
He stared coldly into Malfoy's eyes.
Malfoy gradually fell silent, hurriedly took a step back, lowered his head, and no longer met his gaze.
Darren frowned slightly.
He felt that Snape seemed a bit abnormal.
Logically speaking, didn't he know Legilimency? Why not just look directly?
Could it be that he couldn't use Legilimency on Malfoy? Did the Malfoy family amulet have this effect too?
Of course, it was also possible that Malfoy knew about this spell.
Looking at Malfoy's actions just now, he probably really did know. After all, the most important thing for Legilimency is to lock eyes.
It's just, why wouldn't Snape use Legilimency on him? Darren scratched his hair in confusion.
Could it be that he couldn't bring himself to do it to him? Tsk.
A master of Legilimency, actually having to ask Malfoy for the reason here. But Malfoy was describing it in such detail.
Good grief, he could even describe how long that ugly lizard was; it was evident this guy should have a lot in common with Hagrid.
Right, he had to hurry and spread his Holy Father radiance.
As a little Holy Father, how could he just watch the show here? So Darren hurriedly took a step forward and said anxiously to Snape: "Professor, everything Malfoy saw was my prank..."
"It has nothing to do with Harry and the others, I just said it, it was me who did it... If you want to punish someone, punish me!"
【Ding, Holy Father points +50】 【Ding, Holy Father points +10】
The Holy Father points given by Malfoy were as few as ever.
"Hmph!"
Snape was noncommittal upon hearing Darren's words, even snorting a 'hmph' from his nose to express his attitude.
"Professor..."
Darren called out, unwilling to give up.
Snape curled his lips sarcastically and said in a mocking tone: "If you had that kind of brain, Slytherin would have something to celebrate!"
"But..."
"Enough, detention. In addition to Professor McGonagall's detention, you need to serve a week of detention in my office."
"Go back to sleep now, if I catch you again..."
His words were not finished, but a thick sense of threat could be heard.
But Darren was still worried about Harry's situation, his emerald green eyes looking at Snape, revealing a worried expression.
"My brother..."
"He wasn't caught, was he? Hurry... go back to sleep!"
For the next period of time.
Harry had simply become a target of public criticism. He had been very popular with students at first.
But this time, he, along with Hermione and Neville, had 150 points deducted, which made the students of Gryffindor House extremely angry with him.
Even some students from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff felt he was annoying.
Because they also really didn't want Slytherin to win the House Cup again. Harry didn't even want to go to Quidditch anymore.
Because those people wouldn't talk to him, and if they had to call him, they would just call him 'Seeker'.
Harry felt extremely annoyed.
He swore he would never meddle in other people's business again.
Because of such a small matter, Gryffindor had points deducted, and he was ostracized by everyone.
Even Darren, he didn't know if he had been tortured by Snape.
Although Darren kept saying that Snape only questioned Malfoy about the previous situation and then let him go back to sleep, none of them believed it.
They all felt that Darren was forcing a smile.
Because Snape was not the kind of gentle person Darren described.
When Harry dreamed at night, he would dream of Darren being caught by Snape and tortured severely with spells.
He would wake up from his dreams in the middle of the night, almost crying with worry.
Hermione was a bit better; she wasn't famous to begin with, and her popularity wasn't great, so she didn't look any different than usual now.
At most, she was a bit more silent.
Neville... well, he was just like that; anyway, nothing could be more miserable than Harry.
Now, every time he had class with Slytherin, those people would shout 'thank you' at him.
Thanking him for letting Slytherin get closer to the House Cup again. Harry was extremely sad.
Fortunately, exams were approaching. The whole school became nervous.
This made people gradually forget about Harry's point deduction.
However, Harry still told himself never to meddle in other people's business again.
He heard from Malfoy that besides Professor McGonagall's detention, Darren was also scheduled for detention in Snape's office.
He couldn't even imagine what kind of abuse Darren would suffer.
It was a pity that every time he asked Darren, Darren would tell him to rest assured, saying Snape only made him do homework in the office.
But who would believe that? No more meddling! He would never meddle again!
However, one week before the exams, Harry's resolve was tested.
Because when he passed a classroom, he heard Quirrell crying and saying something.
He leaned in to listen.
"No... no... I can't do it anymore, please!"
It sounded like someone was threatening him.
"Alright... alright..."
Quirrell said, sobbing.
Finally, he came out of the classroom with red eyes.
Harry also saw the other door of the classroom open a crack, and footsteps walked out.
He was a bit tempted to go up and take a look. But then he thought of his resolve. He couldn't meddle.
But he swore, judging by the sound of those footsteps, that person was definitely Snape.
It seemed Quirrell had compromised.
Hmm, not meddling is so hard!
