~6 min read 1,073 words

【Ding, a scene where the Saint Father System can be utilized has been detected around the host. A temporary task is now issued:

When Filch wants to beat Harry Potter, stand in front of Harry. And do not resist Filch's beating; when Filch is about to pull out a knife, say:

Mr. Filch, if this can make you happy, please use more force!"】

【Ding, after completing the task, you will receive the complex version of the method for a Squib to become a wizard. Does the host accept the task?】

【Accept】

Sure enough, this method for a Squib to become a wizard has gone from theory to an extremely complex version. Clearly, the system intends for him to publish it step by step in this order.

Of course, he still needs to hurry up and do the task now.

Seeing that Filch had already pounced in front of Harry. Harry was almost scared silly.

It was probably because he had never seen such a terrifying performance from a victim's family member. Darren hurriedly stood in front of Harry.

Filch slammed a fist into Darren's body.

Darren pretended to be in pain, but still blocked Harry behind him without dodging.

"It's all you, it's all you who killed my cat!"

"It's all you, pretending to come and clean for me!"

"Pretending like you were helping your brother, but actually you were just trying to kill my cat!"

"I gave you time every day to let you clean, who knew you were so malicious!"

Filch shouted loudly.

Harry was stunned; he suddenly remembered the bruises on Darren's shoulders and the swelling on his arms.

Was this because he was cleaning for Filch? And what Filch said about helping him?

Why help him?

"What did Darren ask you to help with?"

Harry asked suddenly.

Darren shook his head hurriedly and said anxiously: "It wasn't me asking Mr. Filch to help my brother; it was because I made a mistake that I went to clean for Mr. Filch.

I lied to Mr. Filch... that's why Filch thought I was helping my brother!"

Darren shook his head vigorously, telling Harry not to ask anymore. But Harry didn't believe a word he said. Darren said he lied to Filch?

How could that be? Darren lying to people? That's just a joke!

"Filch, what did Darren tell you?"

Harry roared angrily.

"Tell me what? That little brat told me, saying that if I saw you coming back from Quidditch training at night and you left mud spots, I shouldn't punish you.

He would do the punishment tasks for you, but it was all a lie; he's a liar, he just wanted to kill my cat!"

"I'm going to kill you, Darren Potter and you, Harry Potter!"

Filch's hand had already started to quietly reach into his chest.

Darren noticed it was the shape of a dagger. He closed his eyes nervously and said bitterly: "Mr. Filch, if this can make you feel better, you can use even more excessive harm to punish me, just let my brother go!"

"I won't let him go, I'm going to make you all pay the price..."

Bang!

The dagger in Filch's hand was knocked away.

"Argus!"

Dumbledore walked in from the corridor entrance. He also brought other professors behind him.

"I remember saying that no one can hurt students at school!"

Dumbledore said sternly.

Almost in an instant, Dumbledore had walked in front of everyone, took Mrs. Norris, and continued: "Follow me, Harry, Ron, and Hermione, and of course, Darren, you come too!"

"Go to my office... my office is closest to here!"

Lockhart walked over in a hurry.

"Thank you, Gilderoy!"

Lockhart led the way, looking smug.

He walked behind Dumbledore and took the opportunity to look at Darren and ask: "My god, Darren, you would also do such a thing, actually killing a cat... I heard it all..."

"Darren didn't kill Mrs. Norris!"

Harry angrily pulled Darren, who was lowering his head and saying nothing, behind him. His younger brother was so kind, how could he possibly touch that cat?

"Then why did he help Filch clean? You ask anyone who would go..."

"Gilderoy, this matter has not been concluded yet, do not frame the children casually!"

Dumbledore turned his head and said sternly.

"Alright, alright, your headmaster is really a cunning old dog; he also thinks what I said makes sense..."

Gilderoy said complacently. Darren admired his courage. He even dared to tease Dumbledore.

And he still insisted that the son of the goddess Snape was the murderer; this guy didn't die in the original work, clearly because Snape didn't like Harry.

"Shut up!"

Snape scolded Lockhart in a low, angry voice.

Lockhart still wanted to speak, but who knew he saw all the professors casting angry looks at him.

Clearly, if he said one more word, all the professors might attack him together.

"Alright... if you insist!"

They finally arrived at Lockhart's office in silence. Darren noticed that it was covered with photos of Lockhart. And these photos could move.

All the Lockharts blinked at him together, and Darren almost threw up.

However, for the sake of his persona, he still lowered his head in disgust, pretending to be scared and nervous, and stood in front of Dumbledore.

Before lowering his head, he noticed Dumbledore's probing gaze. No way?

What did he do again to make old Dumbledore suspicious? There shouldn't be anything, right?

Forget it, at worst it's just Veritaserum and Legilimency; was he afraid of that? As Darren lowered his head.

Dumbledore placed Mrs. Norris on the long table and began to examine her carefully. Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked at Darren from time to time, heartache flashing in their eyes. Clearly, Darren was truly innocent.

He really wanted Filch to stop bothering Harry and wanted Harry to have an easier time.

In order to please Filch, he tried hard to wash Filch's office by hand, only to be falsely accused by Filch of deliberately approaching him to kill his cat.

And Harry felt even more guilty.

He had never noticed what Darren had done for him, and even less had he noticed when Darren went to Filch's office to clean.

If he hadn't discovered the injuries on Darren's shoulders today, and if Filch hadn't thought Darren was the murderer and said these things himself.

He wouldn't have known how much Darren had silently done behind his back.
