Chapter 245

He looked around suspiciously, didn't find any suspicious targets, so he turned back to Dumbledore.

Next was the annual point-adding drama. He deducted, he added, he was filled with both joy and sorrow. Sure enough.

"Then, before awarding the house cup, we still need to include the recent events."

Dumbledore said.

The people around Harry and Darren all looked at them. However, Harry was surrounded by words of praise. Darren was surrounded by a chorus of humphs.

Only Cassandra spoke, and it was a threat: If you dare to be reckless again next time, no one in Slytherin will help you!

"I, I'm sorry………"

Darren revealed a guilty expression.

He wanted to say more to express his guilt, but heard the Slytherin table buzzing.

"No need to be so harsh."

"Yeah, every time I see him being stupid, I'm actually quite amused."

"He finally came back alive, there's actually no need to lecture him anymore."

"He's just spoiled by you people."

"Does that mean you weren't the one who destroyed the voting machine?"

"Pfft, I just accidentally hit it while practicing spells!"

"Childish!"

Darren lowered his head, not knowing who said it.

And when he looked up, these people were sitting quietly in their seats one by one, as if he were the only one who had amnesia just now.

Heh, a bunch of tsundere guys.

However, to maintain his persona, he still said very sincerely: "Thank you all. At first, when the Sorting Hat sorted me into Slytherin, I was very scared, always worried about being ostracized and disliked by others.

Who knew that over this year, you all took such good care of me. I understand the many times you went easy on me, I………"

He wiped his eyes, his emerald green eyes filled with mist. Clearly, he was deeply moved.

【Ding, Saint Father value +30】

【Ding, Saint Father value +40】

【Ding, Saint Father value +20】

【Ding………】

A bunch of small-value Saint Father points were obtained. Darren looked even more heart-wrenching.

"Hmph, who wants your gratitude!"

"That's right, we are Slytherin, we wouldn't take care of you!"

"Who took care of you? Show me evidence!"

"Even if there is evidence, it was done unintentionally. Who would take care of this idiot?"

"Slytherin doesn't do anything without profit; even if we took care of you, it was intentional!"

"That's right, taking care of you is just so you can repay us!"

A group of people said one after another. Not a single good word.

It formed a sharp contrast with the treatment of Harry in Gryffindor. So much so that Harry thought Darren was being bullied again. An angry expression appeared on his face.

But because those people didn't make a move on Darren, he could only be angry at himself—why didn't he go to Slytherin back then?

If he had gone, wouldn't he be able to protect Darren now?

While Harry was angry, Dumbledore above also reached the main point.

"First, Ron Weasley……… he won the most brilliant game of chess in Hogwarts history. For this, Gryffindor is awarded fifty points!"

"Roar roar!"

"Ron is our brother!"

The twins cheered loudly.

Ron blushed, covered his face, and lay on the table.

"Second, Hermione Granger……… facing danger, she used a calm mind to repel the Devil's Snare and saved her classmates. Gryffindor is awarded another fifty points!"

Now Gryffindor had added one hundred points.

It was now 412 points.

"Third, Harry Potter……… he displayed a fearless spirit. For this, Gryffindor is awarded 60 points!"

Now, Gryffindor had the same score as Slytherin.

"There are many kinds of courage……… for this, Neville Longbottom is awarded 10 points!"

The roar of Gryffindor startled the Great Hall.

Harry noticed that the Slytherin students had already stood up in dissatisfaction. Darren was trying to soothe them into sitting down, but the effect wasn't great.

"Finally, there is one more person, Darren Potter. Facing danger, he was fearless………

For this, Slytherin is awarded 60 points. Therefore, the winner of this House Cup is Slytherin!"

Dumbledore said with a laugh. Slytherin cheered.

They took off their wizard hats and threw them into the sky, and a few bold witches walked over and hugged Darren.

Of course, there were also many different voices.

"Dumbledore is too unfair. Darren clearly contributed more than Harry Potter, yet they got the same points!"

"That's right, what does Harry Potter have?"

"Alright, if Darren heard that and pestered you to speak well of Harry Potter, could you handle it?"

"Can't handle it, scared, scared!"

"It's still okay. If you ask me, 20 points would have been enough. That idiot Darren, getting points this time might fuel his reckless factor!"

"Hmph, we should be fiercer, then he would be afraid!"

"We should, next time let the Bloody Baron teach him a lesson. The Bloody Baron won't care whether he is kind or not!"
