Chapter 303

Snape was much quieter during the summer vacation.

He moved back to Spinner's End.

Occasionally he would pass by Privet Drive.

Sometimes he would hear laughter from inside.

Whether it was Darren or Harry Potter, they were both very happy.

Sure enough, Darren was well-liked wherever he went.

Except for that orphanage.

Thinking of that orphanage, Snape smiled sarcastically.

He had reported that orphanage.

Currently, that Mrs. Linda had been arrested for misappropriating donations and was now in prison, and wouldn't be released until she handed over all the donations.

Otherwise, she would be sentenced according to the amount of money.

That guy named Kenley, whom Snape suspected had troll blood.

Had been cured of "gigantism" by Snape and currently looked about as thin and tall as Darren; he hoped he could withstand the revenge of the children he had bullied in the past.

Because of what happened last semester, Snape thought about it and still sent Darren a photo album of Lily and Potter on their birthday.

Of course, if Harry Potter wanted to see it, he wouldn't refuse either.

This was something he had asked a friend of Potter's to get through Dumbledore.

Then he added some individual photos of Lily to make it.

He hoped it would make the two children have fewer regrets.

He didn't go over, staying further away; just as Dumbledore said, he paid too much attention to Darren.

He couldn't go on like this anymore.

This wouldn't be conducive to acting with the Dark Lord later.

If only he could be like Harry Potter and make Darren hate him to the bone—unfortunately, that little brat was like a fool, always stupidly believing in him, Snape thought with some irritability.

Then that night he received notice that Harry Potter had been warned by the Ministry of Magic for using magic outside of school.

Ha!

That was truly something Harry Potter could do.

Snape didn't take it to heart at all.

As long as it wasn't Darren who did it.

If Darren had been warned for using magic, that would be a danger.

Next, Snape knew they were living at the Weasleys'.

What a handful.

He was brewing potions at home and had no intention of paying attention.

One day, he had just arrived at Hogwarts to pick up something when he heard a portrait say that Lucius had come and was arguing with Dumbledore?

Truly crazy!

He had argued with Dumbledore last year to get Darren expelled, why was he back?

And wasn't it rumored that he no longer had decision-making power at Hogwarts?

Interested, he went to Dumbledore's office to watch the fun, only to find that Lucius was talking about Darren and Harry Potter.

He learned from Draco that Darren and Harry Potter had protected the Sorcerer's Stone and was arguing with Dumbledore.

Asking Dumbledore why he had put the Sorcerer's Stone in the school?

Asking Dumbledore if he treated the school as his own home?

His words were extremely unpleasant.

Snape was very impressed by his friend's prowess.

His sarcastic words came one after another, and he had actually angered Dumbledore; it seemed he still had a lot to learn.

"And, Dumbledore, by what right did you recommend Darren, Darren Potter, to be Nicolas Flamel's heir?

Do you have a brain? Shit! Did you get my permission?"

Lucius shouted angrily at Dumbledore.

Snape froze.

He wasn't shocked that Dumbledore recommended Darren to be Nicolas Flamel's heir; he had known about this for a long time, Dumbledore had told him.

He also thought it was quite good.

He even felt that if Nicolas Flamel were more assertive and wiped away Darren's Potter surname, that would be even better.

He personally felt that Darren Flamel sounded very good.

Of course, those were just his own little thoughts.

What shocked him was Lucius's face.

How shameless could a person be to say such things?

Regarding the Sorcerer's Stone issue, he felt Lucius was right to scold him.

Dumbledore, who had brought the Sorcerer's Stone into the school, was already disregarding the students' safety.

But recommending Darren to be his heir was Dumbledore's private business; what did it have to do with Lucius?

Did he have to notify him?

"If I hadn't heard at the Ministry of Magic today that Nicolas Flamel was coming to see his heir, and asked a question.

I wouldn't even have known about this; Darren Potter has become Darren Flamel?"

Lucius became more and more indignant as he spoke, his cane tapping on the floor with a thudding sound.

"I think, Lucius, whose heir Darren becomes has nothing to do with you, right?"

Dumbledore said seriously.

Snape noticed Lucius's face flush for a moment; he even wanted to say something, but immediately cursed again.

Then, in a fit of rage, he warned Dumbledore that he wouldn't let him off. Snape finished watching the fun and followed him out.

Who knew that as soon as they left the office, Lucius would lose his temper at him.

"Severus, since you knew about this, why didn't you tell me?"

Lucius spoke with deep sorrow.

But Snape felt it was inexplicable.

Why should he notify Lucius about what Darren was doing?

Could it be... Lucius wanted Dumbledore to recommend Draco?

"You are too delusional; why don't you look at what your son has done?

He fights and causes trouble at school all day, lies and cheats, and his studies aren't top-notch.

He didn't even protect the Sorcerer's Stone; even if Dumbledore recommended him, they definitely wouldn't accept him!"

Snape retorted bluntly.

And then he received a sympathetic look from Lucius.

"What's wrong with you?"

Snape was annoyed by the look.

Then he saw Lucius ask tentatively: "You still can't forget that woman?"

"What does that have to do with you?"

Did his love life need others to ask about it too?

"I was just asking, suppose... suppose you had a friend, and he, he and the woman you like..."

Bang!

Lucius slammed hard onto the ground.

Snape looked at him with an icy expression.
