Chapter 438: He can't stand this grievance!!

Just as Harry and the others were talking happily, Hermione suddenly screamed.

Harry and the others looked up.

Lockhart was pulling Snape up.

"My assistant, Professor Snape!"

Lockhart laughed loudly.

Clearly feeling that Snape coming to be his assistant was a very honorable thing.

"Why don't those two... *cough cough*, live a long life!"

Harry really wanted to say why don't these two kill each other?

But seeing Darren's worried expression, he changed his phrasing.

"Let me introduce my assistant, Severus.

He found me before I started preparing for the Dueling Club, wanting to do a little experiment with me...

Oh, Darren, don't be so worried, I will return your Potions professor to you!"

Perhaps the worry in Darren's eyes was too intense, and Lockhart comforted him triumphantly.

After all, in Lockhart's view, if someone in this school was worried that his duel with Snape would lead to Snape being injured, then this person must be someone who firmly believed in his greatness.

Like Darren, for example.

This child truly believed he was particularly powerful.

This made Lockhart extremely excited.

"Will the professor really be injured by Professor Lockhart?"

【Ding...】

Darren showed a worried and fearful expression.

Ever since he stood in front of Snape last time, he had never shown that expression to Snape again.

Snape's temper had also become much more normal overnight.

Of course, it was much more normal towards others; he was still the same towards Harry.

However, Snape's normalcy was reflected in the reduced number of times he scolded people; he wasn't as irritable as before.

But his popularity still hadn't improved.

If one were to rank the most hated professors within the school, Snape and Lockhart would definitely be at the top.

It was just a matter of who was first and who was second.

This depended on which one the voter encountered first.

So Darren's worry for Snape barely gained any Saint Father value.

Because they were probably all hoping in their hearts that they would both suffer mutual destruction.

However, Darren noticed that Snape seemed very happy today.

Could it be that the worried expression he just showed made the old bootlicker happy?

That was possible.

But then again, although Snape was good to him before, that was because he looked like Lily.

His personality was like Lily's.

His Potions genius was like his.

Making him feel like he wanted to treat Darren as his own.

But James was the most disgusting person in Snape's heart.

So even with Darren, Snape couldn't bring himself to like him without reservation.

The old bootlicker might feel uncomfortable every time he thought about Darren being James's son.

Until Snape discovered something wrong with Darren's bloodline, Snape became cautious around Darren.

But after verifying Darren's bloodline that night, Snape gradually distanced himself from Darren.

In general situations, he tried his best not to appear.

Speaking of which, did Snape and his mother Lily get together? Did Snape not have a clue in his heart?

Did he really treat him as his own?

Darren complained in his heart.

On the surface, he still looked like he cared about Snape.

Looking like, even if you don't like me, I still respect you.

Visibly, Snape's smile became more sincere.

"... Alright, now I will demonstrate the charm of dueling for you, now, nod first!"

Darren was distracted, and Lockhart had already reached this point.

"... We will attack each other, of course, we shouldn't take each other's lives!"

Darren's face turned pale, looking extremely worried.

It looked more like he was afraid Snape was about to be killed by Lockhart.

He mustered up the courage and said: "Professor Lockhart, can, can we not duel, I don't really like watching these..."
