Chapter 694

~6 min read 1,041 words

Although they had already tried sitting at the Slytherin table to eat, Darren still didn't pay them any mind.

This made them think that they must enter the Slytherin common room to obtain forgiveness.

But the Slytherin common room was too hard to get into.

Snape was too hateful.

He would love to write on the outside of the Slytherin common room: Harry Potter and Black and dogs are not allowed to enter.

Harry felt that perhaps they should brew Polyjuice Potion.

Although they still hadn't figured out why it was so troublesome to want to enter Slytherin openly.

These were all things he had been worried about recently.

As for the bankruptcy Pachi mentioned...

As long as there is food and drink, how can it be called bankruptcy?...

Pachi ignored Harry's words.

It came to Darren's dormitory.

Darren was writing a letter to Nicolas Flamel.

Seeing Pachi come over, he immediately understood that this was bankruptcy.

Finally, in a few more years, he would be a multi-millionaire in gold Galleons.

"Pachi, what's wrong? Do you want some water? Why do you look so dejected? You are my elder, how can you be sadder than me?"

Darren said with a smile.

But the next second, Pachi began to cry loudly.

"Little master Darren, Pachi is sorry to you... Pachi let the Potter family go bankrupt, Pachi let little master's vault only have about 500,000 gold Galleons left, what will little master eat in the future?

Pachi is too stupid... Pachi must punish itself..."

Pachi kept punishing itself.

Darren then saw that Pachi was covered in scars.

He opened his mouth in shock.

"What are you doing? Pachi, stop, I command you to stop!"

He shouted angrily, and then he pulled Pachi and ran toward the hospital wing.

"You are so silly Pachi, I don't care about those gold Galleons... and those gold Galleons were all earned by you.

The good life my brother and I have had these past two years was also given by you... You haven't let us down, we should be grateful to you, you don't need to punish yourself... You live well, I will provide for your old age!"

【Ding, Saint Father points +100】

【Ding, Saint Father points +100】

【Ding, Saint Father points +100】

【Ding...】

Darren said firmly at the door of the hospital wing.

Pachi was sobbing uncontrollably.

Although it was commanded by Darren not to punish itself, it still cried and said: "Little master Darren... Pachi was kicked out by the old master's portrait... the old master thinks Pachi is not worth trusting... Pachi won't be able to serve little master in the future..."

It cried sadly.

Darren opened his eyes wide.

He said in apparent disbelief: "Why? Why kick you out? You are so old, no one will want you if you go out, do they want you to die?"

【Ding, Saint Father points +100】

【Ding, Saint Father points +100】

【Ding...】

House-elves are educated from a young age to be devoted to their masters.

Once kicked out, they are very likely to commit suicide.

Elves like Dobby are the exception.

Most house-elves, after being kicked out, will rapidly age and die.

And very few people are willing to take them in.

Muggle-born wizards don't care about them.

Aristocratic wizards won't want a house-elf that has served another family for most of its life.

"Little master Darren, you don't need to worry about me, *sniff*, anyway I made a very, very big mistake... I don't have the face to stay in the Potter family either... I..."

Pachi lowered its head sadly.

It seemed to have given up on itself.

Just then, a pair of warm hands were placed on Pachi.

It was Darren.

He squatted down.

His eyes were red.

But his face carried a warm smile.

"Pachi, I don't allow you to think like that, you are my family, the house-elf who has been very good to me since I came to Hogwarts.

I have always regarded you as an elder.

I still remember that you went out to do business for my brother and me, which allowed us to live such an extravagant life...

So, Pachi, if they don't want you, I want you. From now on, don't be a Potter family elf anymore, be my own house-elf.

Pachi, as long as you want, I will ask the family portrait to have you transferred over.

I never blame you, and I don't think my brother blames you either.

I also don't believe you were bought off by others, and even if you were, even if you wanted my life, I would have no regrets!"

【Ding, Saint Father points +100】

【Ding, Saint Father points +100】

【Ding, Saint Father points +100】

【Ding...】

Darren accepted the Saint Father points.

The expression on his face became even more sincere.

Pachi looked at Darren in shock.

Then it burst into loud tears.

"... *sniff*, Pachi, Pachi is willing to be little master's only house-elf..."

Pachi finally said, sobbing bitterly.

Darren laughed.

Then he carefully asked about Pachi's journey of being deceived.

It was like the rise of Bitcoin.

It could also be considered a virtual currency, introduced by those nobles from the Muggle world.

At first, Pachi only bought a little, just to play it safe.

Who knew, after a period of time, the value of this virtual currency kept rising, and nobles were all buying it.

Pachi followed suit and bought some, sometimes buying low and selling high, sometimes hoarding it.

Anyway, until the last transaction, Pachi used most of the gold Galleons to buy this virtual currency low, preparing to dump it when the time was right.

Who knew that suddenly it was discovered that those nobles didn't have any virtual currency in their hands at all.

It turned out those nobles had long since taken the opportunity to sell it all to Pachi.

In the end, Pachi was the only one who lost money.

It ended up with a huge pile of virtual currency.

No wonder the Potter family portrait doubted Pachi's loyalty; this was too ruthless.

It was simply giving money away.

However, he had to keep the virtual currency; in the future, that would all be his money!
