Chapter 55

Malfoy was furious.

He swore in the common room in front of everyone that he would definitely make Darren Potter learn a lesson.

Just when Darren thought Malfoy wanted to fight him, he saw this guy storm off to Gryffindor and come back with a Remembrall.

This Remembrall seemed to be Neville's.

No way?

Even with him as a butterfly effect, Malfoy still noticed Neville?

Darren was a bit speechless at this guy's childishness.

[Ding, a scene suitable for the Saint Father System has been detected around the host. Task issued: Walk up to Malfoy, snatch the Remembrall from his hand, and while snatching it, block a spell aimed at Malfoy.

Then, under Malfoy's disbelieving gaze, struggle to crawl up from the ground and hide in the dormitory.]

[Ding, after the task is completed, you will obtain Malfoy's bloodline. Does the host accept?]

Oh, this?

What use is Malfoy's bloodline?

This system isn't trying to say that his mother Lily had an affair with Malfoy, is it?

Darren suddenly felt that his father James could run a prairie on top of his head.

*Cough.*

It should just be an accident.

After all, there were no annotations on it this time.

It shouldn't be anything overly dramatic.

However...

[Accept!]

It's a task!

How could he not do it?

He blinked, and the look of amusement in his eyes instantly turned serious. He walked up to Malfoy and held out his hand in front of him.

"Give it to me, I'll return it to Neville!"

"Give it to you? Beg me!"

Malfoy was jumping around the common room, full of himself.

Darren suspected that if he recorded Malfoy's current state and sent it to Lucius, Lucius might expel this guy from the Malfoy family.

"You have no idea... Neville, he..."

Darren's eyes were filled with anger. It was the first time he had looked at Malfoy with such fury. Malfoy was a little scared, but still curled his lip defiantly and threw the Remembrall casually into the air.

"What about Longbottom? Isn't he just an idiot?"

"An idiot? He is the descendant of heroes!"

Darren clenched his fists, then lunged directly at Malfoy, wanting to snatch the Remembrall from his hand.

Malfoy was startled and quickly dodged, avoiding Darren's grab.

"Come on, come on, if you're capable, grab it yourself!"

Malfoy jumped around even more happily.

While chasing him, Darren kept an eye on the surrounding environment.

Sure enough, just as Malfoy was feeling smug, a red spell flew out from a student's wand in the corner, heading straight for Malfoy's back.

Darren quickly blocked the light with his arm.

The light hit Darren's arm and then passed out from the other side.

Then it dissipated in the air.

Darren was knocked to the ground by the force of the spell.

"You, you..."

Malfoy was startled.

"Help, someone's been killed... help!"

"Shut up, Senior, catch that person!"

Darren gritted his teeth and cursed.

He snatched the Remembrall that Malfoy had dropped on the floor and struggled to crawl up from the ground.

"Potter, you snatched my Remembrall, that doesn't count!"

Malfoy couldn't help but blurt out when he saw him take the Remembrall.

Only after he said it did he realize that Darren had saved him.

Otherwise, he would have been dead.

But why did Darren save him?

Darren looked at Malfoy's disbelieving gaze, quickly turned around, ran rapidly toward his dormitory, and slammed the door shut.

"Hiss!"

Only after closing the door did he realize his arm had actually been pierced through.

If that had hit Malfoy, it would have been fatal!

By the way, Malfoy didn't seem to have it this bad in the original work, did he?

Of course, it's also possible that because he's a minor villain, and Malfoy was saved, the author didn't describe these trivial matters.

Darren curled his lip.

He looked at his arm with some hesitation.

Would it leave a scar?

Although he had a pain blocker and natural healing, this was damage caused by a spell; did he really not need to go to the infirmary to get it checked?

Unfortunately, the task the system gave him was to hide in the dormitory.

By the way, for a poor little thing like him, his first reaction upon discovering he was injured was to run into the dormitory instead of waiting for treatment—this seemed a bit wrong!

Could there be follow-up tasks?

[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the task and obtaining Malfoy's bloodline.]

Malfoy's bloodline: A pure Malfoy bloodline, containing a trace of Veela ancestry. After fusion, Charisma +20, and you will gain the shocked gaze of Lucius Malfoy.

This...

Darren was stunned.

Good heavens, this Malfoy family even had Veela blood!

Wait!

He remembered the abilities of Veela from the original work.

Darren scrambled to the mirror in the dormitory, and only after looking did he relax.

Thank goodness, thank goodness.

Maybe the Veela bloodline was too thin; he didn't have the ability to make people stare in a daze, at most they would just find him a bit more attractive than before.

It wasn't too outrageous.

Darren breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at his arm; the wound was almost healed.

He believed it would be completely fine in another ten minutes or so.

However, his clothes were soaked in blood, making it look like he had suffered a serious injury.

He had no choice but to take a shower and change his clothes. When he walked out, feeling fresh and clean, he saw Malfoy pacing outside his door.

Huh?

Why wasn't this guy knocking?

"Cough, don't think I'll thank you. I have a protective charm; even if it had hit me, nothing would have happened!"

Malfoy said with his head held high.

Darren suddenly realized.

That's right, Malfoy's protective charm had shattered last time, and Lucius had sent him another one the next day.

"Why did that person attack you?"

Darren asked curiously.

Although Malfoy was quite annoying, it wasn't enough to make someone want him dead, right?

"I don't know."

Malfoy shook his head, and as if remembering something, he suddenly said, "Senior Becky said Cass was under the Imperius Curse. She has already sent her to Professor Snape."

The Imperius Curse?

This should be the work of the Death Eaters, right?

But why would these Death Eaters attack Malfoy instead of him, Harry Potter's brother?
