Chapter 54: Whose Kid?!!

~6 min read 1,169 words

Darren didn't know what happened in the common room after he left.

He was currently in his dormitory, washing his hands with soap several times before opening the Snape blind box the system had sent.

Only then did he forcefully open the box.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining Snape’s wand]

Snape’s wand: When using Snape’s wand, the compatibility rate is 100%; for every minute used, magic attack power increases by 100%.

Darren: ???

What exactly does this system want?

It gave him Snape’s bloodline earlier, and now it sent him Snape’s wand; is this meant to carry the misunderstanding to the end?

Do you believe his father James would crawl out of his grave and give Snape a fierce Avada Kedavra?

Darren complained and threw himself onto the large Slytherin bed.

Whose kid am I exactly!

Attending classes at Hogwarts was still quite interesting.

After getting through Slytherin’s punishment.

Darren discovered that the Slytherin students’ feelings toward him were becoming more and more complex; they didn't usually pay much attention to him, and even if they had to be in a team with him, they would often reveal expressions of "hate that iron doesn't become steel."

Even Malfoy didn't like to provoke him much anymore.

He started liking to find trouble with Harry.

Every time Harry was smug, he would run over to Harry and mock him a few times.

When Darren was there, he would angrily block Harry and argue with him, and Malfoy would be able to restrain himself a bit.

But when Darren wasn't there, he would seize any moment to mock Harry. Harry had told Darren in private that he had never hated anyone like this, even more than his cousin Dudley at his aunt’s house.

Fortunately, Darren was often by Harry’s side, giving Harry quite a bit of comfort. Thursday morning.

A notice for flying lessons was posted in the Slytherin common room.

The flying lesson would start at 3:00 PM.

It was being taken together with Gryffindor.

Darren listened with some curiosity to the surrounding classmates’ discussions about the flying lesson.

As an important activity in the original book, this class was clearly also very interesting.

Darren remembered that Harry eventually became the youngest Seeker at Hogwarts, and it seemed to have started right after this flying lesson.

He looked down at his character panel.

Hmm, his flying talent was only 3 points?

So, should he add to it or not?

He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to increase it to 10; based on the description of Harry in the original work, he should now be a genius on the same level as Harry.

By the way, if both of Lily's children inherited James's flying talent, would Snape be driven mad with anger?

Darren smirked.

He quickly resumed a "nervous" expression.

As a student who had never been exposed to flying lessons, he would naturally be nervous.

"Potter, you aren't scared, are you?"

Just as Darren was pretending to be well-behaved, he heard Malfoy's voice.

He looked up in confusion.

For some time now, Malfoy hadn't bothered with him at all.

He didn't know if it was because Malfoy was frightened by the fact that Darren could stand up perfectly fine after enduring the Cruciatus Curse for ten minutes.

In any case, Malfoy had been keeping his distance lately.

Even when mocking Harry, Malfoy would basically leave quickly if he saw Darren coming.

He hadn't expected this guy to pop up again today.

However, as a little "Saint Father," Darren certainly hadn't forgotten to thank Malfoy.

This was because Malfoy had given up the chance to punish him last time.

Over the past few days, he had sought out every Slytherin privately to thank them, leaving only Malfoy.

So, after thinking about it, he stood up immediately.

Malfoy was startled, thinking Darren was going to hit him, and quickly stepped back twice.

Darren hadn't expected Malfoy to be so jumpy.

He almost laughed out loud.

However, he immediately restrained his smile, his expression becoming sincere.

"Thank you, Malfoy. Although you always bully my brother, because you let me off last time, I still have to thank you!"

Malfoy breathed a sigh of relief.

But he immediately began to smile smugly again. He snorted and said, "If you weren't so pathetic, I wouldn't have let that opportunity go. But if you go out and hang around with that Potter again, I will definitely beat you up!"

He tilted his chin up.

For the past few days, he had felt a bit awkward about facing Darren.

It wasn't because he was timid.

It was truly because he felt ashamed.

That day, after watching Darren endure the Cruciatus Curse, he had actually been so scared he wet his pants.

He still remembered when he was a child, his father had cast that curse on a house-elf right in front of him.

That house-elf had screamed just like Darren did at the time.

He had watched with his own eyes as the house-elf lay dying and eventually perished before him.

That was the first lesson his father had taught him.

He thought he had forgotten about that incident.

Who knew that when Darren was suffering under the Cruciatus Curse, he would remember it all over again.

He even thought of more details.

That house-elf had cried and begged his father for mercy, and because it was in so much pain, it had kept smashing its head against the floor, wanting to kill itself.

But Darren was different.

Even after suffering such torture, he could still stubbornly insist that he had to see Harry Potter.

Malfoy was truly shaken.

He even felt a bit envious of Harry Potter.

Why didn't he have someone who would protect his younger brother like Darren did?

And was Harry Potter even worthy of such affection?

While Darren was suffering the Cruciatus Curse for him, Harry Potter was probably playing games with his red-headed Weasley sidekick!

So, he began to enjoy bothering Harry Potter even more.

Although he didn't like Darren Potter either.

However, as a member of Slytherin, Darren Potter could only be bullied by them, the Slytherins.

Thinking of this, he grinned.

And he stated quite smugly.

As long as Darren stayed away from Harry Potter, then he, representing the Slytherin first-years, would accept this guy who was likely a Gryffindor!

He thought happily about how obedient Darren Potter would be as his sidekick, and almost laughed out loud with joy.

Then, wherever he went, he would have Darren Potter to stand up for him, and he would surely be able to walk sideways through Hogwarts.

However.

Just as Malfoy was feeling happy.

He heard Darren say unhappily, "I go out with my brother to do important things, not to 'hang around'."

Malfoy noticed that he glanced at him when he said this, and thought he was about to admit he was wrong, but then heard him continue: "And you can't beat me either."!!!

Too much!
