Chapter 42: First Transfiguration Class

Late at night.

Snape picked up a quill in his office.

He was writing rapidly on a piece of parchment.

To Lucius Malfoy:

Your son Draco provoked Harry Potter's brother, Darren Potter, at school.

He had his amulet shattered by him; although he himself was not injured, I think you should know what this means.

Your friend: Severus Snape.

He sent this letter out with an owl.

After thinking for a moment, he picked up a note and scribbled a few lines.

Then he threw this note into the blazing fireplace.

At the same time.

In the Headmaster's office.

An aged hand caught the note.

He unfolded it and began to read.

It said:

"Darren Potter used an Obscurus today to shatter Malfoy's amulet. Malfoy was not injured; I have already written to notify Lucius.

Also: The Slytherin first-year prefect is Cassandra Vole.

She seems to have an unusual concern for Potter; does she need to be focused on?"

After a moment of silence.

That aged hand picked up a wand and gently tapped the note.

The writing on the note changed into a different set of characters.

Circles within circles.

My dear Severus:

There is no need for that. I have already learned about the Vole family child; she is not an evil person. Having her by Darren's side might be a good thing?

I need you to pay attention to Darren's Obscurus; it must not be released again. I worry it will bring great trouble to that child.

Also, observe little Darren's emotions; the child might feel Harry dislikes him, but actually, Harry just made a small mistake that any child would make.

Good night, your Dumbledore.

Snape received this reply.

Thinking of that boy's pale cheeks.

He scoffed with disdain.

His wand sparked, igniting the note.

Life at Hogwarts is actually quite interesting.

Especially when Darren has a responsible prefect.

She remembers all the routes to class and leads the Slytherin freshmen through the castle.

Unlike other houses, where lateness often occurs.

And today's first class is Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration.

Today they will be with Gryffindor.

After eating, the Slytherin freshmen arrived at the Transfiguration classroom.

At this time, there was no one inside, only a tabby cat crouching on the podium.

Darren suddenly thought of the introduction to Gryffindor.

Our Head of House can turn into a cat.

*Cough*.

Not to mention, it’s quite cute.

Darren felt his hands getting a bit itchy.

Especially knowing that this is a professor.

He quietly reached out and touched the cat's head; the comfortable texture almost made him unable to control himself from wanting to "cat-sniff."

However, a voice interrupted his next move.

"Ha, let me see what our little Darren is doing. He's actually touching the head of an ugly cat; truly, you are stupid!"

"Malfoy!"

Darren turned around "annoyed."

He stared wide-eyed at Draco Malfoy, almost laughing out loud.

In just one night, this guy has fully recovered.

Truly worthy of being the little villain who runs through the whole book.

He is simply his best straight man.

He was just worrying about having nowhere to spread his Saint Father radiance!

"No way? You aren't going to make me apologize to a stinky cat, are you?"

Malfoy said mockingly.

He was followed by Goyle and Crabbe; these two burly guys clearly gave him a lot of courage.

Today, his father wrote a letter in the morning to scold him and also told him some speculations.

He believed that the powerful force Darren used before was limited.

No one would be so "Saint Father" that they don't care about power.

So Darren not participating in the Prefect Selection Tournament yesterday was also likely for this reason.

This means that as long as Malfoy doesn't push him too far, there won't be any danger.

Of course, Lucius wrote this letter mainly to warn Draco not to offend a wizard who can use powerful force casually.

Who knew Draco would only remember that Darren couldn't use powerful force at any time.

This gave him a lot of courage again.

Of course, this time he didn't actively say he wanted Darren to hit him; he was afraid Darren would really disregard the cost and just do it...

Thinking of this, Malfoy's expression became a bit more honest.

So, he grinned, poked the tabby cat with his hand, and thought of a good idea.

[Ding, a scenario suitable for the Saint Father System has been detected. Temporary task issued:

After Malfoy takes out his wand, rush up and hug the tabby cat, exposing your back.

And say: "How could you do this?"]

[Ding, upon completion of the task, obtain Professor McGonagall's Gaze. Does the host accept the task?]

Hmm?

Professor McGonagall's Gaze?

What is this thing?

Darren tilted his head in confusion, but immediately put the question aside.

[Accept!]

If he doesn't accept it now, he'll miss the task. ===== CHAPTER 105 =====

He had already seen Malfoy take out his wand.

Darren hurriedly lunged in front of the tabby cat, back to Malfoy, hugged the tabby cat, and shouted angrily:

"What are you doing? How could you do this?"

On the surface, Darren was red with anger, but in reality, he didn't know what Malfoy was doing with his wand at all.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the task. Obtained: Professor McGonagall's Gaze.]

Professor McGonagall's Gaze: In the area where Professor McGonagall is watching, your Good Luck +10.

Eh?

There’s a reward like this?

Darren accepted the reward excitedly.

Just as he was about to turn around to see what Malfoy had done, he saw a black cobra facing him.

"Potter, scared, aren't you?"

Malfoy was smug.

Darren opened his mouth, almost laughing out loud.

You fool!

Not to mention that he can speak Parseltongue, just the fact that Professor McGonagall is right in front of him—how could she watch him get bitten by a snake?

Sure enough, the next second, the tabby cat Darren was hugging gently pushed him away and its form instantly elongated.

She pointed her wand at the cobra, and the cobra turned into a wisp of blue smoke and disappeared.

"Now then, Mr. Malfoy, attempting to attack a professor—Slytherin loses thirty points. Also, detention, one month!" ===== CHAPTER 106 =====
