Chapter 71: Pure Prince bloodline!!
Harry and Darren went down to the basement together.
Snape’s office door was ajar. Darren stepped forward, knocked on the door, and waited quietly at the entrance.
Harry didn’t want to wait and found there was no sound.
He said hesitantly: “Maybe Snape isn’t here, so…”
He quietly opened the office door.
Perhaps he could sneak in and take the book out.
“Harry…”
Darren only had time to call his name softly before he had already rushed in.
Well, Darren was just putting on an act.
He didn’t intend to disrupt the plot.
These were likely all arranged by Dumbledore; even if he interrupted this, the next one would still appear.
It would be too much trouble for the old man to set up the plot all over again at his age.
As soon as Harry entered the office, he froze.
Because he saw a terrifying scene.
Snape was pulling his robes up to his knees; one of his legs was a bloody mess, and Filch was handing him a bandage.
“Damned thing, how can anyone keep an eye on three heads?”
He cursed and swore.
Harry immediately wanted to leave.
He felt that if he came in at this time, it would very likely trigger a point deduction from Snape.
However.
“Potter!”
Snape roared.
Harry was so scared he couldn’t catch his breath.
He quickly stammered: “I, I wanted to get back my, my book.”
“Out, get out!”
Snape pulled his robes down, his face twisted with anger. Looking at Harry, it was as if he wanted to cast an Avada Kedavra on him.
Harry scrambled out of Snape’s office, quickly climbed several flights of stairs, and reached a crowded area before he felt safe.
“Oh no, why didn’t Darren come down?”
Harry was horrified.
He only just realized that Darren hadn’t followed him.
Could it be that that bastard Snape hadn’t caught him, so he had captured Darren to torture him instead?
No, he had to go back down immediately.
Just as Harry was returning.
Darren was already standing inside Snape’s office.
“What are you doing coming in here?”
Snape’s tone was somewhat unpleasant.
Being seen injured by the two Potter brats made him feel like he had lost face.
It was as if he had shown weakness in front of an enemy.
[Ding, a scene where the Saintly Father system can function has been detected near the host. A temporary quest is now issued: Walk to Snape’s side, pick up the bandage nearby, and wrap it for Snape.]
[And say unhappily: Professor, you’re injured, why didn’t you go to the hospital wing?]
[If you do this again, next time I get hurt, I won’t go to the hospital wing either!]
[Ding, upon completion of the quest, you will obtain the pure bloodline of the Prince family. Does the host accept the quest?]
The Prince family?
He remembered, that was the family of Snape’s mother.
The bloodline he had obtained before was a mottled Prince family bloodline.
Was it going to purify it for him now?
[Accept!]
Darren said quickly.
A mottled Prince bloodline could give him so many benefits, let alone a pure Prince bloodline.
“Speak, what exactly did you come here for?”
Snape asked again.
Darren pursed his lips. He slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with disapproval.
Snape was somewhat dazed.
He remembered that in the past, Lily used to look at him like this too.
She said she didn’t want him to hang out with those people anymore.
She said those people were bad people.
He agreed on the surface, but in reality, he still secretly learned Dark Magic from them and made potions for them.
Which made Lily angrier and angrier, until she broke off with him.
Snape was on the verge of a breakdown.
Why had he done such things back then?
He was almost on the verge of tears.
And while he was heartbroken, Darren had already taken the bandage from his desk and wrapped it around his leg, circle by circle.
“Professor, you’re injured, why didn’t you go to the hospital wing? If you do this again, next time I get hurt, I won’t go to the hospital wing either!”
[Ding, quest completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the pure Prince bloodline.]
Pure Prince bloodline: After fusion, you can obtain Potion Talent +20, Potion Innovation Ability +60, and gain the gaze of the Prince family’s ancestors throughout history.
Ah, this!
Darren was shocked to discover.
His potion talent had now reached 38, and his potion innovation ability had reached 80. His potion innovation talent should be better than Snape’s now, right?
He quickly suppressed his smile and put on an expression of questioning Snape.
Snape was pulled back to reality by his unhappy questioning.
He snorted.
He moved his leg uncomfortably and sneered at Darren.
“You think you can compare to me?”
With this brat’s physical condition, not going to the hospital wing, was he trying to die?
And.
With this brat saying that, he had almost forgotten about the time this brat sent himself to the hospital wing.
“Very well, if you hadn’t said it, I would have forgotten. Because of your recklessness last time, Slytherin… hmph, detention, for one week!”
Darren personally guessed that Snape wanted to deduct points from him.
However, thinking that he was in Slytherin, he changed it to detention.
Detention is detention.
This old Slytherin bachelor would at most make him write homework.
Was he afraid of that?
Where isn’t homework homework?
Writing homework here, he could even ask Snape about what he didn’t know.
Although this guy’s tone wasn’t very good, his lectures were quite detailed.
It was practically one-on-one tutoring.
But he couldn’t say this thought out loud.
Otherwise, this old professor who didn’t play by the rules might get angry and cast a Cruciatus Curse on him.
So he could only pull a long face and dejectedly say “yes.”
“Heh… give this to Harry Potter, tell him… forget it, recklessness is Gryffindor’s greatest flaw. It’s fortunate you’re in Slytherin.”
Snape threw Harry’s book to Darren.
His tone was clearly much better.
Darren responded and left the office obediently, hugging the book.
As soon as he went out, he met Harry’s worried gaze.
“Darren, are you okay? Did Snape hang you upside down in the office to punish you!”
Harry said in horror.
Snape had been so furious just now, how could he possibly let off Harry Potter’s younger brother?
“No, Professor Snape is very kind.”
“Kind!?”
Harry couldn’t quite understand the word.
With a person like Snape, what connection could he have with kindness?
