Chapter 78: Sent by Snape?！！

It took a lot of effort for Darren to make Harry understand that he wasn’t Snape, and he hadn’t done anything to himself, he was doing great.

“How is that possible? Could Snape be that kind?”

Harry really couldn’t figure it out. Why would Snape give Darren an Invisibility Cloak? Could it be that Snape was disguised by someone?

That person locked Snape up or killed him? He thought with satisfaction.

Wishing he could realize this wish immediately.

The expression on his face was too obvious, which Darren noticed. So he shook his head disapprovingly, looked at Harry, and said sincerely: “Brother, you can’t be so prejudiced against the professor. The professor is a good person, conscientious and responsible.

He has to face the mischief of us kids every day. He’s only losing his temper a little now, he’s already very gentle.”

[Ding, Saintly Father points +80] [Ding, Saintly Father points +60] [Ding, Saintly Father points +30]

There were only two people present, but three prompts came.

Excluding Darren himself, clearly, there were currently two invisible people following him and Harry.

Darren was a little speechless.

Guiding Harry to find the Mirror of Erised required two people? This was a bit too grand, right?

But thinking about it, according to the original work, it was Snape’s night shift that day. Harry ran to the Restricted Section to read, then was discovered, and then was chased by Snape.

Until he hid in a room and saw the Mirror of Erised.

At that time, Snape heard Harry’s footsteps and also knew Harry had an Invisibility Cloak.

Even a wizard like him should have been able to hear Harry’s breathing and couldn’t have failed to find Harry’s existence.

And in the original work, he just didn’t find him.

Clearly, either Snape didn’t want to catch him, or it was for plot reasons.

And according to the number of Saintly Father point prompts Darren saw now, Snape probably didn’t want to catch him, just purely to scare Harry.

It is estimated that Snape was imagining Harry’s panicked face under the Invisibility Cloak, and his mood could be much better.

Bullying James’s son, Snape’s office efficiency probably improved.

But these were Dumbledore’s business and had little to do with him. So he looked at Harry, who was thinking about what conspiracy Snape had in sending him the Invisibility Cloak, and asked: “Brother, where are we going so late? Why don’t we just walk around and go back? Wandering at night so late will increase the workload for the teachers.”

[Ding, Saintly Father points +80] [Ding, Saintly Father points +70] Only two sounds came.

Clearly, these two shouldn’t be Harry’s. Because he was looking at Darren helplessly.

“Oh, Darren, relax, don’t be afraid. Since we’re already out, let’s have some fun.

I’ll tell you, we can go to the Restricted Section and look for Nicolas Flamel’s name. Maybe by the time Hermione comes back, we’ll have already found it!”

Harry patted Darren on the shoulder and, without waiting for his answer, pulled him and ran toward the library.

Footsteps echoed in the corridor, Darren was a little speechless.

As expected of a Gryffindor lion, this was running too recklessly? Sure enough, before Darren could stop them, they heard Filch’s voice.

“They must be around here, I heard footsteps!”

Harry was startled and stood in place in a panic.

And he found that because of the running, he had also lost Darren’s trail. Don’t know where he went, would he be caught by Filch?

Thinking of Darren being caught by Filch and put in detention, Harry felt his stomach churning.

Darren would definitely be very sad then.

He thought this, and the brave factor in his body boiled up.

Maybe he should go and lure Filch away, so he wouldn’t be able to catch Darren………

However, before he could do that, he suddenly found Mrs. Norris barking hard at where he was standing, and Filch also felt something was wrong.

His body was already standing in front of Harry. There was only a layer of Invisibility Cloak between them.

Harry could even see Filch’s terrifying face, with a cruel smile on it.

He felt his body trembling.

And beside him, Darren was also thinking about whether to lure Filch away.

In the original work, Harry didn’t have that excited run in the corridor just now; he was only discovered in the library.

And now, the plot had advanced ahead of schedule.

[Ding, a scenario where the Saint Father System can function has been detected near the host. A temporary mission is now issued:

Remove the Invisibility Cloak, then rush behind Filch and first make a gesture as if to scream and scare him.

But immediately shake your head, only pat his body lightly, and then turn and run.]

[Ding, upon successful completion of the mission, you will receive Animal Affinity Talent +2. Does the host accept the mission?]

[Accept]

Darren sighed; it was clear that Harry had already been discovered by Mrs. Norris.

It was only a matter of time before Filch found Harry and pulled off his Invisibility Cloak; he could even vaguely hear Harry’s tense, rapid breathing.

The poor child.

As Darren was thinking this, he saw Mrs. Norris glance in his direction again.

Fine.

Mrs. Norris had discovered him too.

However, because his Animal Affinity Talent was high, she let him go. But watching Harry get caught didn't fit his persona.

It would be better if he quickly lured Filch away and let the plot proceed. Thus, Darren immediately removed the Invisibility Cloak and quietly walked behind Filch.

He opened his mouth, originally intending to imitate Fred and the others by screaming into someone's ear to scare them.

But he quickly shook his head, clearly not thinking that was a good idea. So, he stepped forward and quietly patted Filch’s body.

"Who's there!"

Filch was clearly startled.

Darren was also startled, his face turning pale, as if he subconsciously wanted to obey Filch’s words.

But he immediately remembered this was a night stroll, and he still had to save Harry, so he took off running, hoping to lure Filch away.

"There's a student, there's a student running around in the corridor!"

Filch shouted loudly.

Attempting to call over the teacher on night duty.

"I said it before, we should reinstate the old rules and lock all these night-wandering brats in the dungeon; they need to learn a lesson!"
