Chapter 562

"Professor!"

Even while being threatened, Darren still looked at Lockhart with disapproval.

He seemed stunned, not expecting Lockhart to treat a girl with such an attitude.

"Professor, I hope you can apologize to Moaning Myrtle!"

Darren's face was pale, but his gaze remained firm.

He could accept Lockhart's threats, but he would not accept Lockhart's insults toward Moaning Myrtle.

"Even if you are a professor, you shouldn't treat Moaning Myrtle like this. She is already a ghost, not your student. Please apologize to her!"

【Ding, Saintly Father Value +100】

【Ding, Saintly Father Value +100】

【Ding...】

Darren accepted the Saintly Father Value, and the expression on his face became even more righteous.

Lockhart sneered at his expression.

Why shouldn't he be able to order this ghost to tell the truth?

Besides, this ghost wasn't telling the truth at all.

What was in that sink?

Could it be that the Chamber of Secrets was under that sink?

How could anyone die there?

"Darren Potter, I'm warning you, don't pretend to be a good person here. You aren't a good person. Do you think I don't know what you've done?

Last time you told others that I threatened you—others might not know, but how could I not know?

You aren't a good person yourself, yet you're here pretending to be kind?

There's only an idiot ghost here; let's not pretend about things we both know."

Lockhart said mockingly.

Everyone said Darren was a naive, sweet fool.

He might have been half-believing before, but ever since Darren framed him, he never believed it again.

This guy was definitely faking it.

Others were blinded by his performance.

He was extremely disdainful.

Darren glanced at him.

He sighed slightly.

There was a hint of inducement in this guy's eyes.

Clearly, he was up to something involving recording or the like.

If there were no one else here, he would have just admitted it.

He wasn't afraid of this kind of thing at all.

He played this game better than Lockhart.

But there were quite a few people here now.

How could he reveal his true colors?

So.

As a little Saintly Father.

He frowned, seemingly thinking about that day, and then said with some disappointment: "I thought your apology to me was because you knew you were wrong, but I didn't expect you to see me this way. That day was really..."

Darren seemed to want to explain.

But looking at Lockhart's expression, he sighed and skipped the topic.

"Forget it, let's just say I wronged you. So, can you apologize now?"

"Moaning Myrtle is not your student. When you ask her questions, please say 'please.' This is respect for her. I..."

【Ding, Saintly Father Value +100】

【Ding, Saintly Father Value +100】

【Ding...】

Darren's words did not move Lockhart in the slightest.

He was only excited about one thing.

"Ha, do you think I wasn't prepared? Look, this is a recording orb. I've already recorded what you just said.

I will let everyone know that Harry Potter's brother, Darren Potter, did such a thing—he actually framed a professor.

Just... just after we go out, I will make it public. How about that?"

Lockhart held up a recording orb.

The recording orb even had Darren's image on it.

It was the scene where he just admitted to framing Lockhart.

Darren showed a bitter expression.

He seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he could only sigh and say: "What exactly do you want to do? I don't care about this recording orb, as long as you promise me not to spread the fact that I used the Fiendfyre Curse.

I will tell others myself that I wronged you. I can even kneel and apologize to you at the Ministry of Magic. You can do whatever you want.

I only ask that you don't let my brother's reputation be damaged."

【Ding, Saintly Father Value +100】

【Ding, Saintly Father Value +100】

【Ding, Saintly Father Value +100】

【Ding...】

His voice was bitter.

Clearly, he had lost the strength to argue.

His expression made people feel sorrow, yet Lockhart was still not moved.

He looked at Darren triumphantly, carefully put away the recording orb, then pointed at Moaning Myrtle and said to Darren: "Go, ask clearly, how exactly did this woman die? Where exactly is the Chamber of Secrets?

Or perhaps, was she one of the ones who opened the Chamber back then?"

Darren's gaze followed his to look at Moaning Myrtle.

Moaning Myrtle was looking at Darren with a worried face.

"Darren, were you threatened?"

Although she was timid, seeing Darren looking even more pitiful than her, she really couldn't just ignore it.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Senior Myrtle... I apologize to you on behalf of Professor Lockhart. I'm sorry!"

【Ding, Saintly Father Value +100】

【Ding, Saintly Father Value +100】

【Ding, Saintly Father Value +100】

【Ding...】

Darren said sadly.

Clearly, he felt that it was he who brought Lockhart here, causing Moaning Myrtle to be treated so rudely.

"Oh, I don't care about his attitude. Many people in this school treat me like that. There aren't many people as polite as you...

I'm just worried, were you threatened by him? If you were threatened, tell me, and I'll go notify a professor in a while!"

She asked worriedly.

In this school, she could only talk properly with Darren.

Because she felt Darren was even more innocent than her.

He could easily be snatched away by bad people.

And he would even do things that hurt himself because of the lives of those bad people.
