Chapter 22

When Betty reached out her hand of friendship, she had never thought she would be rejected.

Especially since she was so beautiful, a famous beauty in Slytherin.

Although because of her fierceness in recent years, she had been rumored to be a "Queen Bee," no one could reject the gaze she cast.

However, just when she was confident, Darren gave her a huge blow.

She, the eldest daughter of the Betty Greengrass family, was actually rejected by a Mudblood?

Forgive Betty's shallowness.

She believed that people who could say things like "life is equal" must be Muggle-born wizards; even those who were slightly half-blood couldn't say such things.

It was precisely because of this that Betty was even angrier.

A Mudblood, how dare he be so arrogant?

Actually rejecting her friendship!

Compared to this, she, Betty Greengrass, seemed much kinder.

Watching Darren leave proudly after rejecting her, Betty was furious and chased after him with her wand.

She wasn't finished with this little brat today.

If she couldn't make friends with him, then she would use her cherry wood wand to blow this little brat's head off!

As for using magic on a little brat who hadn't even entered Hogwarts yet, Betty couldn't do such a thing.

It was just that when she was about to catch up to Darren, she suddenly found that Darren had stopped and was frowning at her.

Betty was even more annoyed in her heart.

Was she that annoying?

And looking at her like that?

But she still held back and asked arrogantly:

"What is your name, anyway?"

She would give this guy one more chance.

"Get out of the way!"

Darren's angry voice came.

Betty was stunned on the spot.

The nobility of the Greengrass family had actually been met with such a response from that little brat.

Betty clenched her fists.

Her eyes were cold.

She wanted to turn and leave.

However, a body blocked in front of her.

And... a green light shot out from that guy wearing black robes and covering himself with a hood.

"Avada Kedavra!"

"You..."

Betty opened her eyes wide.

While shocked, she hugged the body in her arms and pointed her wand at the black-robed figure.

"Stupefy!"

"Incendio!"

"Crucio!"

"Petrificus Totalus!"

"..."

Betty held Darren with one hand and held her wand with the other, constantly shooting spells at the black-robed figure.

Darren watched this scene, feeling all the hair on his body stand up.

Oh my god, luckily Betty wasn't prepared to take action against him just now.

This was simply a one-sided slaughter!

In an instant, the black-robed figure fell to the ground, wailing and motionless.

He didn't know if he was dead or alive.

Betty approached cautiously and used her wand to lift the hood.

Revealing a pale and thin face under the hood.

This was a man's face.

It looked like he hadn't seen the sun for a long time.

"Who are you?"

Betty stared closely at the man's eyes.

The man remained silent, not saying a word.

"Pfft, just a coward!"

Betty stood up proudly, pointed her wand at the man, and chanted coldly: "Stupefy, Stupefy, Stupefy!"

Useful spells are chanted three times.

Darren even doubted if this man could ever wake up again.

After finishing the spell on the man, Betty shot a beam of light into the sky.

She should be notifying her family.

"Are... are you okay?"

Betty looked at Darren with a frown.

There was a hint of indescribable emotion in her eyes.

She didn't know how she felt about Darren either.

Just now, when she saw Darren block the death curse for her, she only thought about avenging him in her shock.

But she didn't expect that he didn't die.

Was Darren special, or was this a conspiracy?

Darren, of course, saw her suspicious gaze.

He snorted coldly and struggled to squeeze out of her arms.

"Don't be self-indulgent; I was planning to run just now, but I ran too slow and accidentally blocked the spell for you. I would never help you pureblood-supremacist people!"

[Ding, task completed, congratulations to the host for gaining one bloodline draw]

Darren curiously accepted this reward and pondered on leaving here as soon as possible.

He just remembered that he had forgotten Paki at Flourish and Blotts, so he had better go back and take Paki away.

Luckily, Paki wasn't here.

Otherwise, his actions just now would have scared Paki to death.

Betty looked at the little brat who was preparing to leave, pursed her lips, and felt that this little brat was a bit stupid.

Who runs too slow and blocks in front of others?

And she is the eldest daughter of the Greengrass family; if someone really accidentally blocked a spell for her, they should find a way to make her think he did it on purpose.

Instead of being like this little brat in front of her, full of resistance, wishing to clear all relations with her.

It seems this little brat really hates her.

But even if he hates her, he would still desperately come to help her block the spell; this... is he an idiot?

Betty mocked him coldly in her heart.

If she did such a thing, the Greengrass family would expel her, right?

What an annoying Mudblood little brat!

"The Greengrass family will not forget your contribution; this is my Gringotts key.

There are thirty thousand Galleons inside, which counts as part of your reward; I hope you won't tell anyone about what happened today!"

Betty lifted her chin.

She just felt a bit embarrassed in her heart.

If she hadn't spent gold Galleons recklessly before, she could probably have saved over a hundred thousand Galleons by now.

Instead of taking out these mere thirty thousand gold Galleons and pretending to be generous while handing them to this little brat.

Shit!

How embarrassing!

If this little brat told others that she, Greengrass, only gave this much gold Galleons to buy her life, her reputation would be completely ruined at Hogwarts.

"Also, you, come with me to St. Mungo's in a while.

Of course, you Mudblood... little brat might not know what St. Mungo's is, but I believe you'll know once you go there!"

Betty snorted proudly.

With her palm facing up, she reached out her hand to Darren again.

This was the last time the eldest daughter of the Greengrass family would lower her status for someone.

Just because of his life-saving grace.

"Hurry up, I'm going to Apparate; how can we go without holding hands? Dilly-dallying, do you think you're Harry Potter just because you survived a death curse?

Be careful you die here suddenly and make your parents sad to death!"
