Chapter 89

Lucius was furious inside.

If it weren't for the crowd, he couldn't expose his special attention toward Darren, or he would absolutely use his cane to strike Draco's head hard right now!

What kind of broken child is this?

Lucius felt particularly awkward right now.

He had just said he would expel Darren; how could he phrase things to ease the current atmosphere?

He cast his gaze toward Darren, originally just wanting to take a closer look at him.

As a result, the more he looked, the more he liked him; this child could make so many professors like him, and he was from Slytherin—this was practically a Dark Lord's opening!

He was truly like him.

No, no, no, not a resemblance in appearance. Darren's looks should be more like Lily's.

Although he didn't remember Lily's appearance very well, he knew that Lily was also a great beauty and the school belle of Gryffindor.

What was most famous were her red hair and green eyes, which added a great deal of charm to her. And Darren clearly inherited her beauty.

That pair of green eyes simply melted his heart. This child truly made him feel proud.

This is a natural-born Malfoy!

His gaze shifted to Draco with a sigh, and then his expression turned speechless. How did Draco not inherit anything from him?

How wonderful it would be if Darren were his and Narcissa's child?

He felt his heart aching, so he gritted his teeth and looked at Dumbledore, following Narcissa's words: "Ah, haha, Narcissa is right, there's no need to be so serious... Draco, apologize!"

He pushed Draco's back. Draco felt very aggrieved.

Clearly, he was the one who wanted Darren to apologize to him; how did calling his mom and dad over turn into him having to apologize to Darren?

"Yes, Draco, I have raised you to be a good child since you were small; how could you treat a classmate like this?"

Although Narcissa was surprised that Lucius changed his tune as soon as he heard Darren's name, she didn't think too much about it.

She thought Lucius was saying this because he realized the child was Harry Potter's brother.

After all, she had previously told Lucius she didn't know who the child was precisely because Draco said he was Harry Potter's brother.

She was afraid Lucius wouldn't stand up for Draco. She just didn't expect this child to be... him.

The moment Narcissa saw him, she recognized the child.

This child looked very much like he did when he was young, and with that personality of always thinking of others, she really couldn't mistake him.

In fact, the moment she saw the child, she wanted to go over and hug him tightly.

No wonder she suddenly remembered such distant memories; it was because she would meet this child today.

So this child really didn't die back then.

She actually had many questions she wanted to ask this child now, but she buried them all deep in her heart.

Let it be!

She could not approach this child; she could not let this child enter Lucius's eyes.

She might have once thought Lucius was sincere toward her.

But during this time, she felt that Lucius was secretly inquiring about illegitimate children.

He often asked those nobles who had women outside how they settled those children.

It was obvious.

Lucius had grown distant from her.

He likely had an illegitimate child outside.

So could he still listen to her and take good care of this child? He couldn't!

Lucius didn't listen to the words she said earlier until he knew Darren's real name, so he certainly wouldn't listen if she asked him to take care of this child.

If she introduced this child to Lucius, he would only be full of intentions to use him.

It would be better to leave it like this; she would secretly take care of this child from behind. The child didn't need to know any of this.

And this child certainly didn't know her identity.

After all, no matter how she looked at it, she didn't look like a child of Darren's age. Then don't disturb this child.

Narcissa shifted her gaze, appearing as if she were just simply observing this brother of Harry Potter.

Her gaze returned to being cold and aloof.

She only glanced at Draco from time to time, seemingly urging him to apologize quickly and then leave this place.

"I, I'm sorry..."

Draco Malfoy said aggrievedly. He felt he was extremely unlucky today...

He had clearly called his mom and dad, but not one of them was on his side.

And Ron, Hermione, and Neville—what right did those three have to see him apologize?

When he bullied them in the future, they might use this to mock him.

Infuriating!

The more Malfoy thought about it, the angrier he became; his face turned bright red. He looked like a smoking furnace.

Darren watched from the side with great interest.

He knew Lucius couldn't possibly expel him.

Come to think of it, by virtue of him having Lucius's bloodline, Lucius couldn't possibly fall out with him over such a small matter.

This was a pure Malfoy. Interests come first.

In the original work, even fighting with the Weasleys was just to slip Voldemort's diary into Ginny's book.

He performed so well, and he had the title of Harry Potter's brother.

As long as Lucius held the handle that he was a child of the Malfoy family, he could claim to be on the side of justice at any time.

Hedging bets on both sides—a Malfoy specialty.

Therefore, wanting Lucius to expel him over such a small matter was not even worth thinking about.

Didn't you see he even made Draco Malfoy apologize just to win some favor from him?

However, this kind of scene couldn't last long.

He, this little saint, certainly wasn't someone who just watched the fun. He had to say something.

He looked at Dumbledore and said with some hesitation: "Professor Dumbledore, I don't know if I should forgive Malfoy, because I didn't feel his sincerity at all.

I feel he will still bully other classmates, and when that time comes, I might take more serious actions, so, why don't you just expel me?

Otherwise, every time it's like this, making everyone worry, I really can't do it."

Darren's face was full of pain.

He was kind, not stupid; just like he refused Miss Greengrass's friendship a few days after school started, he also refused Malfoy's apology.

He stood there like a ray of light. [Ding, Saint Value +50.]
