Chapter 88

98

Slipping away was not an option.

With so many professors here, along with his mom and dad. That coward Neville, and that pauper Weasley.

Oh right, and that Mudblood Granger. All these people were here; if he slipped away, wouldn't he be laughed to death?

Malfoy snorted, bit the bullet, and pointed at Darren.

"It's him, he's the one who hit me!"

He maliciously withheld Darren's name. Perhaps he could keep it hidden a little longer.

[Ding, a scene where the Saint Father System can be utilized has been detected. Issuing temporary task:

Step forward, take all the blame, and in front of everyone, say: I think I should just drop out... I don't think I'm suited for this place.

I cannot guarantee that the next time I see Malfoy bullying others, I won't impulsively punch him again.

Rather than causing trouble for the professors and my classmates, it is better for me to leave.]

[Ding, upon completion of the task, you will receive Dumbledore's Blind Box.]

Huh?

Dumbledore's Blind Box is out? I wonder what kind of good stuff I can pull from it.

I hope it's not like Snape's wand from last time. Darren looked at the system reward with interest. [Accept]

Maybe he could even pull Dumbledore's magic power.

Then he would instantly become the number one person in the wizarding world. Darren rubbed his hands in excitement.

Of course, that wasn't the point right now. He looked at Draco Malfoy.

Draco looked extremely guilty.

But on the surface, he still yelled fiercely at Darren: "What are you looking at? I'm going to have my dad get you expelled!"

Hmph, even if he can't get him expelled, he'll at least give Potter a good scare!

With Darren Potter's cowardly nature, he'd probably be scared to tears. Draco raised his head excitedly.

Then he saw the bitter smile on Darren's face.

Indeed, Darren's face wore the fear he wanted to see. But there was more of a sense of relief.

He shook his head and sighed softly: "Yes, Mr. Malfoy, young Mr. Malfoy is right, I am the one who hit him, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."

Draco raised his head triumphantly.

Looking at Potter's expression, he felt happy. Hmph, Potter should apologize to him now, right?

Draco felt that if he had a tail, it would be wagging in the sky by now.

However, all this joy vanished the moment he heard Darren's next sentence.

"I think I should just drop out! Ever since I came to Hogwarts, I have been very happy here.

The professors here care for me very much, and the classmates here are very good to me. So I cannot bear to see them being bullied and just turn a blind eye or a deaf ear.

Young Mr. Malfoy surely cannot change his bullying of classmates, and I cannot change my code of conduct.

So I choose to leave, to save the professors from having to worry about me."

[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the task, you have received Dumbledore's Blind Box.]

Dumbledore's Blind Box: After opening, you can obtain any one item belonging to Dumbledore.

Darren accepted the reward with anticipation.

Could anything belonging to Dumbledore be bad? He almost couldn't suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth.

However, he still stubbornly put on a forced smile. It made people unable to help but feel indignant for him.

How did Hogwarts become like this?

Why would Dumbledore treat a good child like this? Professor McGonagall pursed her lips.

For so many years, she had treated Hogwarts as her home. But why did this home make her feel a bit lost?

"Albus, if you insist on expelling Darren, then I will resign from my position!"

Professor McGonagall said heavily. Other professors echoed her. Dumbledore was stunned. He was speechless.

To be honest, who told these people that he was going to expel Darren?

However, Lucius ignored Dumbledore's emotions entirely and said very happily: "Regardless of whether you are going to resign, this... brat, I must have him expelled. No, he is the one who wants to leave.

Come, Draco, tell me, his name, I want to hand his name over to the Ministry of Magic.

I want everyone to know that there is such a student who actually took the initiative to ask Hogwarts to expel him. Draco, his name!"

Lucius waited for Draco to open his mouth.

Narcissa frowned, glanced at Darren, and said hesitantly: "There's no need to be so serious, it's just a child's prank."

"This is not just a prank, this is a provocation to the Malfoy family!"

Lucius insisted, noticing that Draco seemed dazed, as if he hadn't heard what he said.

So he looked at Darren, his cold face revealing nobility.

"Then child, your name!"

"Darren Potter."

Darren said softly.

For a moment, Lucius felt as if he had heard the voice of Merlin. His lips were trembling.

He looked down fiercely at Draco. Draco quickly lowered his head.

His expression was incredibly guilty.

Clearly, the child in front of him was Darren, his son who had been lost outside. What did he just say?

Hand this child's name to the Ministry of Magic? And expel him?

This seemed a bit too serious.

And Draco only had a slightly bruised eye, nothing serious; a spell at the school infirmary would fix it...

Was this child planning to accept his loving education?

"Lucius, I think let's forget it, it's just a prank between children, no need to make such a big fuss. Draco, you shouldn't have any issues, right?"

Narcissa said with a smile.

Her eyes were filled with a warning to Draco. Draco stepped back in confusion.

Today's mother, is it father in disguise? He quickly turned to look at his father.

Only to find Lucius's grim expression.

He stepped back again, avoiding Lucius's eyes. Wasn't he the little treasure of the family?

Seeing Draco's useless appearance, Lucius felt more and more that he had raised his son to be a failure.

Call him vicious?

This child couldn't be vicious. Call him kind?

This child had nothing to do with kindness. Then at least be orderly?

Good grief, he doesn't submit to anyone, and he can't beat anyone. He's even a bit brainless.

He really wanted to send this child back to the furnace for a remake!
